With Yusan's armies defeated you have a chance to cleanse the Vale of evil if you wish. Of course that would take some time, and who knows what might happen in the north meantime... You know Minars Rapak is itching to lead his united Altanian horde against the Nerathi at Hara.
Enemies not found among the dead of the battlefields include Mytsh's apprentice Dark Odo, and Ruggio the treacherous Weaponmaster of Bratanis who joined with Yusan.
Smon: >>A tall blonde amazon dismounts her griffon and swaggers towards Hakeem. chris107: Hakeem bows deeply chris107: "You have my thanks my Lady." Smon: She smiles, inclining her head to Hakeem. "Glad to help. We owe Yusan much pain." chris107: "We shall rid these lands of Yusan's curse together." chris107: "Let our enemies quake!" DESTROYERBILL: Smon: Artemisia: "I estimate Yusan has 560 men advancing south on your allies - and with him are the Conclave wizards." Smon: "The next battle will not be so easy..." chris107: (Hakeem drips blood and gore theatricaly from his huge frame)<<
chris107: Right back up and running
Kjato Ragfoot: Take a healing salve and clean yourself up, Hakeem, you are dripping all over the floor.
chris107: Oops
chris107: @ Simon, what time of day is it?
chris107: I'm typing out a few thoughts here
Smon: It's mid-morning.
chris107: Mytsh, Marnt, Jolda and Hagnol we need to loot. We need to let our guys loot the Brigands. But we must beware of the dark.
Smon: Lord Krens, Lady Meda, Queen Artemisia and the other leaders join you.
chris107: Another attack by those Shadow Demons could scupper all our plans.
chris107: Also we need to rest. Heal and replenish your spells.
chris107: But that's a trade off as that gives Yusan and his tame wizards time to do the same.
Smon: Artemisia: "As we passed over, we saw Yusan's main force heading south. Soon they will engage the Dragonborn & Red Bear - your friends will be gravely outnumbered. I fear those we have slaughtered here were only to delay us..."
chris107: Then we must risk only a short rest and make haste to trap the villain between hammer and anvil.
Smon: Meda glances over the battlefield. "Our losses our light, but your warriors are scattered..."
chris107: Let us take an hour to gather hour forces then hunt the dog down.
chris107: Hakeem arranges a small squad of reliable men to gather the forces while he rests. They can stay behind when we leave.
chris107: To guard the Cairn if need be.
Smon: GM: You pull the men - and Dragonborn wyvern riders - back from the pursuit. Probably fewer than a third of the brigands have escaped the slaughter - and regroup.
Smon: GM: OK you can Short Rest.
chris107: "Any magical stuff laying about on there bosses Kren?
Smon: Krens nods, pointing at Hagnol's mighty axe.
Kjato Ragfoot: Kern, Meda, does any of you know to turn someone invisible? In that case, we could turn one of the wyvern or griffon riders invisible. I could grant them True Sight, to scout Yusan's forces and perhaps drop a couple alchemists fire on his mages?
chris107: I have H with 3 rages and 1 berserk used. 112HP?
chris107: Shieldbiter uses an axe?
chris107: It would be a fine weapon for him.
chris107: H uses a further 6 healing dice
Smon: Marnt had a +1 greataxe. Hagnol a +1 Altanian War Axe, a d12 weapon with 10' reach.
chris107: and recovers his berserk
chris107 rolls 6d12+30 and gets: 3, 4, 12, 12, 5, 12, (+30) = 78
chris107: Max
chris107: Back to 185HP
Smon: Krens sighs. "Normally I could turn a group invisible - but I used most of my power Counterspelling the Sorcerer Mytsh."
6:57pm 2016-5-25 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
chris107: Hey Bill!
DESTROYERBILL: brb
DESTROYERBILL: hey
Smon: GM: Shieldbiter returns from massacring fleeing foes.
Smon: Marnt's axe looks small enough for the mighty Dragonborn to wield 1-handed (for d12 dmg).
chris107: Nice
DESTROYERBILL: cool me take
Smon: Shieldbiter hefts the mighty axe, grinning.
DESTROYERBILL: me take
Smon: After an hour your somewhat depleted force (ca 204 able to fight) are ready to march south.
chris107: With the Wyrems and Griffon Riders on top of this?
Kjato Ragfoot: Question: Kren, do you know any demon I could conjure that might cause ruckus within Yusan's army? Perhaps cursing the enemies mages with a nasty cold or something like that?
DESTROYERBILL: we have 204 men
Smon: Chief Ruffar of the Dragonborn looks troubled. "My friends, you will not reach my people before Yusan. My children, we must return south, to stand with our Folk."
Smon: (Yes, 12 Griffons & 8 Wyverns w 12 dragonborn)
chris107: "Chief Ruffar we understand. May your Gods go with you. We will hurry to help you!"
Smon: Chief Ruffar addresses Shieldbiter, Dragaleena, Fy-tar, Dess-troyar & the others. "We must go."
DESTROYERBILL: ok
Kjato Ragfoot: Because we definitely need to prevent any more of those shadow demons from appearing.
chris107: Yup
Smon: Artemisia: "My Griffon Riders can also fly swiftly - we'll go with you, Chief Ruffar."
DESTROYERBILL: we must travol at day
Smon: Krens: "The Shadow Demons can only appear at night - we must win the day before nightfall."
chris107: "Fly and fight well Artemisia, Lady Meda."
chris107: "Aye, come then Thur, Kren, let us march!"
chris107: "We've bested them twice men! This time for good!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, we do not have time for the ritual anyway. So. on our way.
chris107: "Thur, what mighty magics do you have to help us?"
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 4d8 and gets: 6, 4, 7, 2, = 19
Smon: GM: The 12 Dragonborn mount up on the 8 remaining Wyverns and fly away, closely followed by Meda & the 12 amazon griffon-riders.
Kjato Ragfoot: I can either grant myself True Sight to see through illusions or call forth a blade wall.
Smon: Krens takes some trinkets from the body of Mytsh, the dark wizard.
chris107: That will help
Kjato Ragfoot: I can Control Water and Locate Creatures.
Kjato Ragfoot: And burn people.
chris107:
chris107: Any healing left for the last if we need it?
Smon: >>"We've bested them twice men! This time for good!"<< The warriors cheer.
Smon: You begin the march south.
DESTROYERBILL: n people.
Kjato Ragfoot: Eh. I could give you some healing potions?
chris107: Yes please, I think it will be a long day.
DESTROYERBILL: i mean north people
Kjato Ragfoot: All right. Up to 4 healing potions for you, (2d4+2 each).
DESTROYERBILL: i mean soth people
chris107: H will take two and wrap them safely for emergencies if that's okay?
chris107: hehe Bill. Yup
Kjato Ragfoot: Of course. Does anybody else want one?
DESTROYERBILL: i do
Kjato Ragfoot: Then, the remaining two healing potions to Shieldbiter.
Smon: @Shieldbiter - flying ten miles south-west along the coast (less than an hour's swift flight) you see the small Dragonborn/Red Tiger Clan host & their Talhom allies, some 350 strong, assembled on a small hillock. A larger force of ca 560 is closing on them.
DESTROYERBILL: yea
Smon: Behind the main body of the enemy army, twelve blue-robed wizards form a circle.
Kjato Ragfoot: Drop stones one them! Big stones!
chris107: Kill them all!
Smon: Out to sea to the east you can see clouds forming - yellow-white clouds...
Kjato Ragfoot: Killing them is an alternative.
DESTROYERBILL: we must kill the wizards first
chris107: Without their wizards we will break them like eggs
Smon: Lady Meda calls out: "I have used my Firestorm already..."
Smon: Artemisia cries from her Griffon: "We do this the old way, with claw and blade! Charge!"
Smon: She wheels her griffon down towards the enemy wizards.
DESTROYERBILL: men charge at 123 go
Smon: The griffons and wyverns sweep down...

chris107: All through the evening I was trying to work out the odds
chris107: A really great session

chris107: And we all survived!
chris107: Shame Rey wasn't with us
Smon: And 83/185 hp left.

chris107: I suppose now the real fight begins?

chris107: But the Sword of Bondorr will be a great help
chris107: Lots to look forward to. Great campaign.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. Crowfinger. Yeah. Almost forgot that guy.
chris107: Hehe he's yours Kjato
Kjato Ragfoot: Even though we killed his disciple a few adventures ago.
chris107: H is not much good v wizards
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. And I hoped you would hack him in pieces with your new sword.
chris107: You are better at making plans than me. Hakeem has done his bit of thinking
Kjato Ragfoot: I really worry about Kainos...
chris107: Not a bad war chief but he's not cut out for that role.
Smon: Kainos is like CR 22 WITHOUT his shield.
Kjato Ragfoot: But, on the bright side, it is a good moment for a short campaign pause.
Smon: Yup.
Kjato Ragfoot: (Thus, my plan to turn Rey into a female and then let him seduce Kainos to steal the shield)
chris107: Yes, I guess so. I'll miss my Wednesday nights with you guys and Bill
Smon: Looking forward to relaxing & refreshing & resume in August when my 5.5 year 4e campaign ends.
Smon: It's only 2.5 months.
chris107: Good luck with that Simon, have a great break.
