Round Seven
Cahleth and Fay attack the dwarven druid while he is still on the ground. The ranger's first arrow flies wide, but the second wounds a drake. For his part, Fay manages to badly wound the enemy leader.
Lia strikes at the man trying to get through the rector's defenses. She misses, but manages to get his attention. He strikes her in turn.
The dwarf shifts form once again, into a small bird this time, but Fay is ready, and strikes him down as he tries to fly off. The dwarf falls to the ground once more, only a few paces from where he'd been moments before. He doesn't get another chance to escape, as Targul comes up and cleaves his skull with a mighty blow.
Poljen strikes out, wounding the horseman badly. Looking at his dead leader, he disengages and starts galloping away.
Without the dwarf as a target, Onwen turns his chilly hand on the wounded drake, dropping it to the ground.
Out of Character: Lia takes 8 damage from a sword. Poljen managed to avoid being damaged at all this round. The field is almost clear now.
Inside the cavern, same time frame
Tallis arrives without much fanfare as people are still streaming in, she takes stock in the situation, and then asks Tolman, "So, where are these spiders? We'll need to deal with them sooner rather than later." She and Tolman talk for a bit on how best to approach that.
Shortly afterwards, you can hear some kind of commotion up by the cavern exit.
In Character: Fay moves to the horseman squaring off with Lia. Looking at the beautiful Elf lady he asks, "Heril-en, Im lerta od asëa?" He strikes fiercely at the horseman with his weapon.
Out of Character: Fay said, M'lady, may I be of help?
Poljen laughs maniacally as the man turns his horse and begins to move away. "Ha! Not so fast! I'm not done with you!" Running at what seems to be an impossible speed for one so large, he quickly catches up the man's horse and delivers another strike with his sword.
Out of Character: : Movement plus Bonus Action Dash if required, then attack.
Lia takes another wound and grimaces in pain. She hopes to distract these warriors from attacking the rector until help arrives. Hearing the dashing bard speak in Elvish upon arriving to help she grins tiredly. " Ni *'lassui. " She nods. Lia feints at the warrior again more confident now.
Out of Character: : She said " Thank you. " in Sindarin Elven which is the closest I can find to Wood Elves.
Specific Action: She will use the help action to feint at the warrior providing distraction for Fay.
Back in the caves, Nyzahr quietly approaches Tallis, Cratol and Tollman as they debate what to do about the spiders. She raises her eyebrows slightly and formulates a series of mental images towards the small group.
- The spiders are scared of fire and she, Nyzahr, has an understanding they shall not attack as long as there are a few guards with torches around their nest. It is needless to provoke them, they shall remain quiet, as they are quite terrified.
- to Cratol: exploring the caves has proven fruitful ? She exudes curiosity still. Maybe a bigger group could take part in exploring next time ? What wonders await them on the other side of the underground lake ?
- It seems the others are in some difficulty outside. Will they need a new funeral service soon, maybe ? She knows a lot of funeral songs, and some are quite moving (She can't help but cracking a small, bitter-sweet smile at that last thought).
After these matters have been attended to, she will take a small stroll away from the group and spread her cloak upon the ground and shut her eyes, turning her back to the rest of them. (Out of Character: settles to rest).
Cahleth fires two arrows Poljen's way. One aimed at the creature he is engaged with, the other at that same target's mount.
He holds his pose for an extra count as the arrows whistle through the air, willing them to strike true.
