Return To The Ruins (Warlords Palace)

[Rex]

Drest

Whispering, "OK, lets fall back then."

Drest starts to fall back to the others while trying to be sneaky and keep an eye on the shadowy person/thing.

Once back to the others, "We have something sneaking our way."

[silifi]

Sik drops his current activity and runs to the southern wall, just around the corner from the hallway, hoping for a chance to flank the incoming opponent.

[subaltari]

Magda

Seeing Drest and Xenos return and heeding the quiet warning, the witch finds an upturned bed (or part of one) near the north end of the barracks and gets behind it for cover, then beckons Cyril and Taibhse to join her there if they like.

[Monsieur Rose]

Kainaxarthos

As others slow or stop the loud work, Kain redoubles his noisiness so as not to tip off the approaching whatever that we know is coming.

He is a little put off that he isn't invited to the fort party with Cyril and Taibhse.

[The_Wanderer]

Cyril whispers, "Excellent idea, Magda." He sees Kain's look and moves slightly to create space between him and Magda and beckons Kain to join them. "At times like this it is best to place myself in a position where I can most effectively impact the outcome of the conflict...

It just so happens that place is removed from the more physical aspects of the conflict."

Back To Xambaala?
Still No Idea On Time Or Day

Drest returns to warn the others, causing Sik and Akhilleus to take up defensive positions.

Magda, Kain, Cyril, and Taibhse try to duck behind one of the dismantled beds for cover, wondering what it is that their Scout saw coming for them. Can the three of you give me a d6 roll along with your next actions.

Xenos waits at the bend in the hallway, realizing that the first figure they saw was clearly not alone. He spots a total of three figures now slowly heading into the hallway towards him, getting a better view of the oncoming threats thanks to the light inside the barracks room.

[shaidar]

Xenos

Xenos casts Forest of Bones at the figures.

[subaltari]

Magda

Ducking Snakes [1d6] = 2

Magda squeezes her smaller form between the two priests, and readies her sling.

[Karaunios]

Akhilleus positions himself next to Drest and out of sight from wahtever comes from the corridor. He's ready to circle around his companion and face the reptilian men face to face once they step through the doorway.

[Rex]

Drest

Once Drest sees everyone acting he turns back to aid Xenos, moving until he reaches him.

[Karaunios]

Ok, so basically Akhilleus is now replacing Drest next to the door I would let them come into the room. They don't know how many we are and in a corridor we can't take advantage of our numbers.

[shaidar]

And I'm hoping I can capture them before it's gets to melee. If it doesn't work he'll drop back.

[Rex]

Drest

Drest will drop back with Xenos if need be, his intent is to not let Xenos get trapped out there alone.

[silifi]

Sik will hold his position.

[The_Wanderer]

Cyril glances down at Magda as she takes cover.



His sling is readied...but he also remembers that his sling bullets become quite dangerous to the front line if he does not have a clear shot.

[Monsieur Rose]

Kainaxarthos

[1d6]=2

For the third or fourth time down here, Kain reminds himself to grab a spear or a bunch of daggers to throw at things. His mind wanders and wonders why Priests of the Gods can use slings, but Clerics can't. Fickle gods.

He will wield his Morning Star and get ready to jump into the fight.

Under The Zakath Desert
Back To Xambaala?
Still No Idea On Time Or Day

Xenos backs up towards the others, calling forth magic he hopes will stop these slithering foes in their tracks. As the snakemen advance, bones and clawed hands rise up from the hallway floor in an attempt to grab and hold them tight. 2 of these humanoids are able to sidestep the bones and continue towards the group, albeit at a much slower pace. This buys the group a bit more time to coordinate, as the third member of the scaly trio is stuck tightly by the bones and unable to move at all. They advance slowly, armed with long scimitars at the ready, hissing nervously to each other as they approach the doorway.

With the extra time the Death Soldier bought them, the fighters re-assemble together in the front ranks, while the others huddle together behind them for safety, pulling out slings, as if they could use them in such tight confines with their friends directly in front of them.

Actions?

I will give you this first initiative since they were slowed by the spell which gave you time to react.

[Karaunios]

Akhilleus starts attacking with his broad sword. "Attaaaack!"

Broad sword (one-handed) - To hit: [1d20+3]=9+3=12; Dmg: [1d8+4]=4+4=8

[Rex]

Drest

Drest does his crazy Pict thing, "Attack!"

Charging the one next to the one Akhilleus is charging.

Short Sword +? [1d20]=16 to hit [1d6+1]=4+1=5 damage
Plus any magical bonuses the sword has.

[silifi]

Sik flips the corner and swings his axe hard at the closest snake man.
