Round 8

Init: Harp (25), Flying Guy (23), Surin (20), Maximus (18), Lady De Blum (15), Kal (14), Ranthir (12), Ally (12), Salix (7), Legionaries (7), Creatures ( E3) (7), Mund (5), Ragnar (5).

Harp realizes that Kal is outmatched. "Going to have to get close and bring that thing down" he thinks. Moving to Kal's side, he tries to avoid the greatclub as it moves to intercept him as he closes (AOO, AC20, 19+16=35, hit, damage 24) but fails miserably. The huge wooden bough crashes into him, crushing ribs. Barely able to breath Harp strikes out with his sword (AC20, 12+13=25, hit, damage 10). With all his might he thrusts his longsword through the things hide armor and into the creatures belly. Looking up he sees the things eyes go wide and then dim. He wrenches his sword free, the blade still crackling with static, and the creature falls to the ground.

Ally is thinking that it might be time to get into some cover. He had not been quite when he had called Mund and to any competent mage he would be obvious as a spell caster. He starts to run towards the doors ahead when 5 bolts streak out of the air ahead and above him and strike him in the chest (damage 25).

Mund, who has been flying around invisible, sees the bolts of force as they leave an area down and to the left of his position. He watches as they strike his brother and almost drive him to the ground. Mund turns and falls like a rock towards where he saw the bolts of force originate. He still can not see the mage and his anger boils up. He feels something build in his gullet and he tries to roar. He roars and frigid air bursts from his mouth. The moisture in the air in front of him turns to ice and he hears a shocked gasp somewhere out ahead of him (Breath weapon, (REF save, DC16, 5+?=?, fail, damage 11). He turns his head and sees his wings again.

Ally stumbles towards the door ahead, trying to get under cover. "That magic missile almost did me in" he thinks. I need to get my shield spell up." He stumbles through the open door, panting and feeling the burned skin on his chest through his robes.

OODM: The combat is over. The characters do not know it yet but the Mage is now flying away while still invisible. You can role play any looking around for him but since he is still invisible and still has the fly spell, there is almost no way you will be able to catch him. I will write up more tomorrow for Maximus and the remaining fighters. Any one on the battlements will find, after a bit of searching, the bodies of about half a dozen dwarf fighters. This is half a dozen on each side. There are also the remains of a giant on the west side.

Crap! He can see me! Mund charges toward where he heard the gasp come from, trying to close the distance and grapple again before he can drop a fireball on him.

After a couple of minutes of circling around in a futile search for the magicker, Mund drops down to check on his brother. When he finds out that he'll stay a dragon for only a few more minutes, Mund flies up to get a better look at their surroundings, looking for other people that might cause problems.

When Mund lands and turns back into his hair ol' self, he asks "OK, somebody wanna explain this to me? What happened, and why?"
