Party on the Pass
Round 3
The monsters sense that their new found home may be in jeopardy and attack first.
The 2 bugbears attacking Thomas and Halo try to smash into them during their attack, trying to push them out of the tunnel. The attacks both fail but the extra motion leaves their head and neck area quite vulnerable. The clergy are pushed back slightly but take full advantage in their counterattacks.
Xano moves forward to attack the
OGRE coming at her. The big brute smashes her in the side with a huge spiked club.
6 dam
Two more arrows fly from the tower at the group. One gets stuck in the folds of Drez's armor, the other hits the Monk in the leg.
4 dam A very loud bell begins to toll over and over, coming from the upper tower.
The first bugbear gets to the top of the stairs just in time to get hit with one of Trotter's arrows.
6 dam (+7 bonus is on melee attacks only) There are 3 more coming up the steps right behind that one. The rest of the Bugbears seem to be trying to get into the gate tunnel but one very large beast stands away about 100' shouting what seem like orders to the others.
Drez fires again just as the Gnoll with the bolt stuck in its forehead gets back to the window. This bolt tears through the things throat this time and it falls to the floor dead.
The Monk quickly reloads his light crossbow, moves back, and fires at the monster on the wall. The bolt finds its mark again, and the brute bellows out once again.
The noise doesn't last long though, as Xano runs the beast through with her flaming longsword. It drops to the stone with a thud, quite dead.
Meanwhile, the frontline clergy recognize the tactics of these dumb creatures right away and it shows in there attacks. Halo completely decapitates his opponent with one heavy swing. It falls to the ground only to be replaced quickly by the nasty Troll, who leans down and bites the little Paladin hard in the shoulder.

Thomas also swings hard at his unbalanced bugbear and his heavy mace hits home. The creatures skull is completely crushed in and it's eyeballs go flying out of its head. The sight is so shocking that the bugbear behind this one who was about to attack Thomas, just stands there for a second in disbelief.
Chewy continues to back out of the area.
Suddenly, Wyntar appears again, flying in the sky above the wall with his staff pointed at the group of bugbears. A massive block shaped curtain of violet colored fire instantly appears against the court side of the wall. Thomas and Halo can feel the heat of the blast and see the flames through the tunnel but luckily, are just outside of the danger area. All of the bugbears in that area instantly burst into flames and begin to run around wildly, trying to extinguish their burning, furry hides. The smell is horrendous but the sight of it is fairly comical.
Morgi is seen flying away from the second burned building just as the tower bell begins to ring. The large creatures began to stir when they heard the Ogre yell. Now some of them emerge from their party to see what's going on at the gates.
Morgi, I need to know about where you want to land and change/cast. Just an approximation somewhere on the map is fine.
There are currently 4 Bugbears attacking Xano and Trotter on the wall. There are 3 Bugbears and a Troll still in the tunnel fighting Halo and Thomas. Two of those bugbears are now on fire. The big bugbear stays put for now. The other group of monsters further away can now be seen stirring and some are starting to advance in your direction.
