Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Large mounds of earth suddenly flew out of the trees and onto the fires that weren't hidden by Cascade's Marine Layer at the time, cutting them off from the air they need to burn and extinguishing them in short order.

With the fires no longer blocking the way, more attackers were allowed to spill out of the woods and onto the battlefield. The Marine Layer and the remains of the tower split them into two groups. Each group then moved to the nearest wagon on either side and tipped it over for use as cover.

One attacker was not like the rest though. This attacker, a tiefling who was missing both horns and tail, emerged from the forest with a crossbow in hand as she took cover behind the dirt-covered debris of the formerly flaming tower. The tiefling took aim at Jørmund and loosed a crossbolt which, thankfully for him, bounced harmlessly off his armor.

OOC

All fires on or near the treeline that aren't obscured by fog are smothered by large mounds of earth.

Nine melee attackers break cover, tip over a wagon on either side of the battlefield, and take cover behind them.

One ranged attacker, breaks cover and takes aim at Jørmund. However, the attacker's crossbolt fails to land.

I certainly desire to check this well.

@Fading Memory

Have Zavakri mention this IC and Brutrumukk will row the raft over.

The ball is in your court.

As Rala leaves Paxton at the shield wall, the leader of the highwayman defensive line - an imposing warforged wielding a formidable tower shield and a spear with a serrated head - called out once again. "Greenwood! Get Paxton to safety!"

"Right right!" One of the archers behind the shield wall said before dashing out, grabbing Paxton and carrying him off into the camp.

The warforged then looked back at Rala as she hurried off towards the rest of the party. "Help your friends, but don't stay out there too long!" It called after her. "The enemy is numerous and will overwhelm you with weight of numbers if you tarry!"

OOC

Warforged Highwayman Captain uses its reaction to order a highwayman archer to remove Paxton from the battlefield.

@Birdboy

Your turn has arrived once again.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Oops! Forgot to mention whose turn it is.

@XxFellsingxX

You're up.

Brutrumukk

"Oh good. It's just a well." Brutrumukk said with a sigh of relief. "Thank Mag fer that. Though we was 'eaded fer a waterfall fer a moment there... Well the moment 'as passed. Let's get a move on." With that said, Brutrumukk set Jub back down on the raft and took up his makeshift oar once again. "Next stop, Telemy 'Ill." Brutrumukk said as he made ready to row... but then paused as he realized he didn't know how to get there. "Which way was that again?"

"Somebody smother those flames!" The Ignan voice called out in response to Jørmund's challenge. "I'll show that snow-lover what a bad idea really looks like!"

"Stand down, Yoseph!" The Terran voice commanded. "Remember the Sultan's orders. The rest of you, get those fires out and overrun this paltry resistance! FOR THE SULTAN!"

"FOR THE SULTAN!" Far too many voices to count called out in reply.

As Cascade moved to assist Flicker, one of the attackers stuck behind the genasi paladin's Marine Layer calls out to the rest. "I see a gap in the fog! This way!" The sound of rapid footfalls would then be heard as the attackers moved towards and through the gap. They wouldn't get far though. As the first two of the attackers made it around the fog, they were struck down by a volley of arrows, as were the two attackers harassing Jørmund, Rala, and Paxton.

Reinforcements had arrived. Eighteen highwaymen had emerged from deeper within the camp, the nine in front forming a pair of shield walls while the nine behind rained arrows down on the attackers. "Open the way!" A voice called from the highwaymen once the volley had landed, causing the shield walls to open enough to let the party through. "We can hold the attackers off for now! The boss wants every other able body to muster at the bonfire!"

OOC

The attackers halted by Cascade's Marine Layer use their reactions to move towards and through the gap Cascade's movement has opened.

Highwayman reinforcements arrive.

The highwayman archers absolutely pincushion four of the attackers.

Both shield walls open to let the party pass through.
