Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
Re: Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
Thanks! That's a big help. I see an arrow slit below the transparent section. Are then any windows below that she could fly through?

Re: Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
There is a closed wooden shuttered window one floor below the top level, on the back side of the tower. And another closed shuttered window on the second story of the tower, directly above the wooden door that leads into the first floor at the base of the tower. Sorry, I don't have a better pic of those.

The goblin ducks and dodges, cackling, and uses his wand again.

Thamansa will land on the sill of the higher window and smash the shutters in with her morning star, cackling happily.OGRE MAGE wrote:There is a closed wooden shuttered window one floor below the top level, on the back side of the tower.

Re: Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
Fire, Rubble, and Dust
Go Time! Round 9
Evening, Partly Cloudy, Warm
The battle rages on with no sign of Kermut or Shozbot anywhere nearby. Have the unlikely pairing combined to set up the others? Only time will tell.
Horsefly and Othrod combine to violently eliminate the sorry excuse for a guard on the west wall, each of them looking around to see who they can kill next. The bugbear sees another guard on top of the square corner tower in front of him lean over to shoot his crossbow at him, but he easily ducks the bolt. He is hit in the back by another bolt however, this one coming from the guards on the central wall dividing the inner and outer courtyards. 4 dam
Ondrake makes a puddle out of another guard as he swings and roars. He notices that no other guards on the ground seem to want to engage him in combat, but the pests upon the walls don't seem to mind shooting at him from a safe distance. He takes another bolt to his shoulder as 2 others fly past his big head. 2 dam
Thamansa isn't alarmed by the blue mage trying to turn her into a newt, so she flies directly towards his tower. She can feel a magical effect hit her from the spell that he was casting at her when she passes his position. Save vs. Spells please. (I will wait for this outcome before I describe what happens at the window, in case you need/want to change her action)
Actions!
Battle Map:
Horsefly (goblin) 6/8 [3/2/1]

Ondrake runs north around the fire to crash through the next gate (at the gate house).

Horsefly shoots his wand at the guard on the tower, then runs toward the tower so he's more protected.

Re: Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
Without warning, Thamansa's trusty little wand drops from her hand and begins to fall into the courtyard below, landing between the animals and the middle wall gate house tower. (Fumble)
Will she attempt to retrieve it or continue towards the shuttered window?

Re: Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
Thamansa, famously covetous when it comes to enchanted items, can't resist diving after her wand, cursing as she does.

Thamansa does not know how she simply dropped her wand, but she sure isn't about to let anyone else get their grubby fingers on her precious magic stick. She holds off on going to the back window of the mages tower and instead dive-bombs to the ground to retrieve it. She has to avoid a strange spotted horse with a very long neck that nearly kicks her, but she is able to find and secure her wand again without a problem. She spots Shozbot laying on the ground inside the lowest level of the guard tower. The nearly dead orc sits amongst a few dead guards as he pulls out a strange looking small bottle of something that he quickly drinks down. As the bugbear is about to take off again, she is hit by a flying crossbow bolt from the wall above her. 3 dam Kermut the gnoll is still nowhere to be seen.
Ondrake takes off over the pile of rubble that used to be a tower. He rushes towards the north, stopping at a closed iron portcullis under the gatehouse that separates the inner and outer courtyards. As he moves in to rip the grate from its moorings, he spots Horny Carl laying in a heap with three dead guards next to him. He also sees Thamansa through the bars on the other side of the portcullis, and the orc Shozbot inside taking a rest and having a quick drink of something. He gets hit in his massive back again with a wayward bolt, this one stings a bit. 4 dam
Horsefly fires off another bolt of energy from his wand as he ducks back under the battlements of the tower above. He smirks when he sees that the guard shooting at him from above can no longer get a clear shot on him.
Othrod climbs down the side of the wall and enters the chaos inside the inner courtyard. Punching a weird black and white striped horse in front of him on his way over to the wooden door at the base of the central tower, finding it locked up tight once he arrives.

Re: Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
Thamansa cackles to herself when the bolt strikes her. Just what she needed! A little jab in the ass to keep her on her toes! Now she won't do something as foolish as drop her lovely wand again!
She takes to the sky, flying straight up high enough to shake any archers that might be tracking her. She double-curses herself for using her wand to zap the wizard when he was aiming at that big buffoon. She must have negated her own invisibility! Well, her old grandpa didn't tolerate foolishness, and she won't be a fool like that again. For the rest of this mission, she'll be sure to keep an eye out for her own interests. What does it matter to her if a gnoll or giant or bull-head snuffs it? That one orc has a certain appeal, however. She might use the wand to keep him out of trouble, if it doesn't cost her anything.

Re: Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
Ondrake grunts at the arrow, as they slowly take their toll, and kicks irritably at the downed Minotaur, "Get up Lazy Bones!" He braces himself at uses his awesome might to rend the gates to pass through.

Othrod attempts to bash in the door.

Open Special Doors 3 in 6 [1d6] = 6

Horsefly
Horsefly looks around the room on this level of the tower. Is there a way he can climb up to thye guard's level? If so, he's heading up- quietly.

Go Time! Round 11
Evening, Partly Cloudy, Warm
Thamansa isn't taking any more chances in the chaotic mess inside of the inner courtyard. She flies straight upwards, hoping to get away from the stinging bolts that are flying around from almost every direction. 2 more shoot past her harmlessly as she departs for the night sky. Looking in on the blue mage as she passes the upper floor of the tower, she sees him casting again, this time smiling at her as he does so. Save vs. Spells please.
Ondrake kicks at the possibly dead minotaur as he passes him on the way to the portcullis. Horny Carl doesn't even flinch. Ripping the iron gate from its frame, the hill giant tosses it aside easily, glad to see that Shozbot yet lives. The orc has just drained a small bottle of liquid down his throat, screaming wildly as the last gulp is swallowed. Suddenly, the orc doesn't quite look the same to the giant anymore. A crazed look crosses his face as he charges back towards the opening in the gate. Ondrake can see Othrod at the base of the central tower as well, chopping away at a wooden door there.
Othrod makes short work of the normal wooden door into the tower, splintering it wide open with his mighty weapon in no time. A trio of guards suddenly enters the courtyard from the NE corner tower and rush towards the action while bolts continue to zip through the air at the monsters. (none hit)
Horsefly looks over this second floor of the corner tower again, finding crates, barrels, and a lot of riding gear, saddles, and other tack. He spots a lone ladder in the far corner that leads up to another trap door in the ceiling. The goblin sees that the outside of the stone walls and towers are not all that smooth, giving him the impression that he, or any of his companions, could likely climb along any of the outside surfaces of the place as well.

Depending on what happens as a result of this spell, Thamansa's intention is to follow through on a variation of her previous plan: fly to the arrow slit in the tower, throw in a ball from her Bag of Tricks, and order whatever it produces to attack the wizard.

Re: Keep on Keeping on; The Battle
The nice looking human at the top of the blue tower smiles at the flying bugbear as she passes, motioning with his hand for her to come and join him at the top of the tower. The man suddenly seems quite friendly......charming even. 
Thamansa feels compelled to fly over and say hello. In fact, she cant help herself.
