Xenia whips her chain at the fey-orc atop the ladder, ripping the falchion from his grasp. The weapon tumbles to the ground 20' below. Then she flies out and around, hiding again in the moonlit shadows of the fey-creatures. Then she lurks, ready to attack any when they move.
Syr keeps cranking on the catapult and encourages the students to keep up the good work.
Toros pulls another scroll from his pouch and reads it, shouting at the fey-orc atop the ladder to "Sit!". The fey-orc looks at him quizzically but does not sit. The fey-orc does not speak or understand Common or any other language that you speak.
Garrett casts a spell, successfully concentrating to prevent any attacks while doing so. He grows in size and moves over slightly to accommodate his increased size.
Oni directs his Flaming Sphere towards one of the squad sergeants. Sergeant S2 cannot avoid the Sphere and is burned.
Meanwhile, his summoned fiendish dire wolf kills another of the fey-kobolds. Drag hits AC 30, 14 damage vs. fey-kobold 1-2
Appolo doesn't like seeing any of his fellows going over the wall, but he stays in place and cranks the catapult.
========================================
A portion of Flyer Squad 1 continues to occupy the attention of the dire wolf but don't manage to do any more than that. The remainder wait for the ladder to go up. FlSq1-1 misses AC 5 FlSq1-3 misses AC 7 FlSq1-5 misses AC 4 FlSq1-6 misses AC 5
Flyer Squad 2 keeps looking for anyone to show their head over the wall. The squad leaders shout encouragement.
Fey-orc Squad 1 pick up the ladder and set it into place again.
Appolo -- DC 17 STR check, with the polearm adding +6
Fey-orc Squad 2 keeps advancing, with the front members pushing through the Windwall.
Fey-orc Squads 3 and 4 break free but cannot get to their feet yet.
Fey-orc Squad 5 gets to their feet and almost advance out of the Entangle Spell.
Fey-orc Squad 6 continues to assault the wall. Despite being without a weapon, fey-orc 6-7 steps 5' forward from the top of the ladder and drives his horns at Toros -- obviously, those horns aren't just for show. Fey-orc 6-7 hits AC 20, 8 damage
The next fey-orc (6-5) in line moves ahead and is attacked by Xenia. It's limp body falls from the ladder. The remaining four fey-orcs hold the base of the ladder in place.
Fey-orc Squad 7 remains free of the spell and advances.
Fey-orc Squad 8 also remain free and hoist the ladder into place.
Syr -- DC 13 STR check with polearm providing +6
Sergeant S1 remains free of the Entangle spell and advances out of its area.
Sergeant S2 breaks free but cannot move.
Sergeant S3 remains free and advances.
Sergeant S4 heads towards the wall, staying out of the reach of the newly enlarged Garrett.
Sergeant S5 hacks at Garrett but doesn't get past the cleric's defenses.
Sergeants S6 and S8 are the next two fey-orcs on the ladder. Both attempt to climb up and Xenia hits both of them. However, her weapon is not doing full damage against these creatures. Only one of them falls from the ladder.
Sergeant S7 advances towards the wall.
Leader L1 remains free and advances.
Leader L2 advances and halts just out of Garrett's reach.
Leader L3 takes a 5' step and attacks Garrett. If he makes it there, the fey-orc's scimitar nearly slides between two segments of Garrett's armor. L3 misses AC 28
Leader L4 moves towards the ladder, attracting an attack from Xenia. Her chain hits but does not stop the fey-orc which makes it nearly to the top of the ladder. Garrett -- please make an AoO against this creature
Flyer Squad 3 continues to snipe at the flying Xenia, exposed again after attacking the advancing fey-orcs. The flyers then move forward, the first one drawing Xenia's final attack. Two others, though, make it onto the ladder after slipping between the fey-orcs holding it. FlSq3-1 misses AC 14 FlSq3-2 hits AC 25 (threat), not confirmed AC 6, 3 damage FlSq3-3 misses AC 13 FlSq3-4 misses AC 7 FlSq3-5 misses AC 12 FlSq3-6 misses AC 15 FlSq3-7 misses AC 15 FlSq3-8 misses AC 21 FlSq3-9 hits AC 23, 3 damage FlSq3-10 hits AC 24, 2 damage
Flyer Squad 4 is stuck tight.
Fey-kobold Leader L3 also shoots at Xenia, barely wounding the rogue. The creature then steps back away from the rogue and her chain. L3 hits AC 25, 1 damage
Xenia and Garrett can hear a fey-kobold screeching what sounds like a spell somewhere nearby but cannot see it. Spellcraft DC 17 -- Highlight to display spoiler: {Spider Climb}

The sling stones take their toll on the rogue.
Garrett! Xenia shouts. Gonna leave the ladder to you. Gotta take out those fliers.
The rogue spins in mid-air, bringing the length of chain out and around, arcing toward a vulnerable spot on the upper-most guy on the ladder.
*spang!*
Without looking to see the results of the damage, Xenia turns her roll into momentum, arcing out over the heads of the troops below, stealing their shadows, she fades to an indistinct darkness. She picks a spot just over the top of the fliers. Lets just see them fire slings at anyone now.

Knowing his ball of flame would end quickly, he raises about ten feet off the ground and brings it falling back on the same foe.(4dam)
Taking a glance to his left he ses Drag is taking care of business, as he knew he would. Turning his attention back in front of him he sees two lone figures. Knowing these to be leader types, he decides to cast a spell that can attack both at the same time. Winding his right arm in an arc, he points the palm of his hand towards the two.

Toros continues to hold the fey-orc at the top of the ladder, hoping to prevent other attackers coming behind to proceed as well. This time he is more careful of the horn of his opponent.
Toros, additional 5d4(2+2+4+1+4)+5=18 Sunday January 22nd, 2006 9:51:22 PM
Sorry, please make this change to my post.
If Xenia drops the fey-orc at the top that Toros is dealing, the liontuar will use his wand to attack the front member of the squad 2, as soon as they pass the wind barrier.
18 hp damage (would this be enough for two?). Also, in this case Toros will not be on total defense so the new defensive AC will be 31, not 34.
Toros - addition 2 Sunday January 22nd, 2006 9:59:39 PM
And also, in this case, Toros will pull another scroll from his pouch, as he will not be on total defense.

Syr (AC 25/26 HP 66/68) d20+11=24 Monday January 23rd, 2006 8:27:37 PM
Seeing the ladder drop on the side of the wall the elf leaves the catapult, "Fire this thing quickly before those squads break free! After that it's time to defend the wall." Picking up a polearm he easily pushes (str 24) the ladder back to the ground.
Xenia flits about leaving destruction in her wake. First, she attacks the fey-orc at the top of the ladder but cannot make it fall.
Oni attempts to burn the lone fey-orc again but this time it nimbly dodges the sphere. He fires two Scorching Rays at the fey-orcs in front of him.
Toros goes turtle and concentrates on being a roadblock in the advance of the fey-orcs from the ladder.
Garrett walloped the fey-orc that got too close to him last turn. He keeps up the beating, hit one of the poor creatures in front of him quite badly and then he gets closer to the ladder.
Syr easily pushes the ladder away from the tower and encourages the students to fire next round.
While Appolo ponders what to do, Clarice steps forward and pushes the ladder away from the wall.
========================================
Flyer Squad 1 continues to keep the summoned fiendish dire wolf busy and away from more vital things. FlSq1-1 misses AC 8 FlSq1-5 misses AC 13 FlSq1-6 hits AC 17, 5 damage
The rest of Flyer Squad 1 wait to snipe at someone.
Flyer Squad 2 waits for the ladder to go back up or for someone to shoot.
Fey-orc Squad 1 pick the ladder up and put it back up again.
Appolo -- DC 15 STR check with +6 from a polearm.
Fey-orc Squad 2 advance to the wall, drop the end of the ladder and push it into place.
Fey-orc Squads 3 and 4 get to their feet and advance towards the wall along with Squads 5 and 7.
Fey-orc Squad 6 keeps holding the ladder in place. The fey-orc 6-7 who is on top of the wall attempts to defeat Toros' defenses but fails miserably. Blocked by the liontaur, he hops up on the crenellation of the wall. Sq6-7 misses AC 8 Jump = 10
Fey-orc Squad 8 avoids the grasp of the Entangle spell. The squad picks up the ladder and puts it back into position against the tower. They don't get it seated well this time, however.
Syr -- please make a DC 8 STR check, with a polearm offering +6
Sergeant S1 moves forward towards his squad and leads the way up the ladder.
Sergeants S2 and S3 move closer to the wall.
Sergeant S4 moves up to the wall and then climbs effortlessly up it, ending up standing just adjacent to Oni. Spellcraft DC 22 Highlight to display spoiler: {Spider Climb}
Sergeant S5 shifts over 5' and then attacks Garrett. He misses badly but keeps the cleric from moving towards the ladder. S5 misses AC 12
Sergeant S6 steps from the ladder onto the wall, swinging his falchion at Toros as he does so. He cannot get past the defensive shell of the liontaur. S6 misses AC 18
Sergeant S7 moves towards the ladder, pushing by the fey-orcs holding the ladder. As he does so, he draws an attack from Xenia. However, after pushing by the fey-orcs he moves to the wall and climbs straight up. Spellcraft DC 22 Highlight to display spoiler: {Spider Climb}
Leader L1 advances 60' closer to the wall.
Leader L2 moves up to box Garrett in, drawing an attack as he does so. He swings his scimitar at the cleric but only barely manages to avoid cutting himself.
Garrett -- make an AoO vs. L2 please
Leader L3 is beside Garrett and hacks at the cleric but not well enough to hit him.
Leader L4 moves to the top of the ladder and the two members of Flyer Squad 3 on the ladder move upwards.
The remainder fire at Xenia, hoping to knock the flying rogue from the air before they fall to her chain. Two of the fey-kobolds fall to her attacks before any can manage to get a shot off. After making the shots, the fey kobolds advance and one gets on the ladder. FlSq3-4 dies from an AoO FlSq3-5 dies from an AoO FlSq3-6 hits AC 23, 2 damage FlSq3-7 misses AC 9 FlSq3-8 hits AC 24, 3 damage FlSq3-9 hits AC 23, 1 damage FlSq3-10 misses AC 13
Flyer Leader L3 also shoots at Xenia, nearly hitting himself in the process. FlL3 misses AC 7

Garrett yells up to Toros, "Sorry Toros, the little buggers keep getting in my way. I'll take out that ladder as fast as I can. Push them off the wall, and maybe they'll fall on their friends."
Garrett will continue to attack the beings between him and the ladder. He will start with L3 who is directly in his line of approach. If Garrett drops L3 on the first swing, he will aim swing2 at S5. If L3 doesn't drop after the first swing, then swing 2 goes at L3, hopefully finishing the job. After he swings, he will free 5' toward the ladder if possible.
Garrett will go back to power attacking by 5. Attack 1: Hit ac22, 21hp damage Attack 2: Hit ac26, 22hp damage
The rogue feels more than just the bruises. It may be a cracked rib.
"Garrett," she shouts, "I'll be right back." She fixes the fliers below with the stare of a real meanie.
"I'll be back," she says before making a five foot adjustment in the air and spanging the Wall Crawler. (S7)
Then she runs away.
Flying up behind the crenulated battlements, Xenia blends with the shadows, hoping for the breathing space to snag a potion or two.

Apologies. I had too many other things going on tonight so will not be able to make a DM post.
I should be able to post in the morning tomorrow, with the map going up in the evening.
Again, sorry for the delay.

The rod starts writhing and transforming into a giant constrictor snake. Then Oni mutters the words and makes the gestures to turn himself invisible. Fortunately for him, the crenellation provides cover and prevents the fey-orc from making an AoO. Transformation to the snake requires a full round.
The summoned wolf attacks again this round, killing another of the fey-kobolds.
Appolo easily pushes the ladder back again. Eventually, he hopes, the fey-orcs will tire of this game.
Toros tries to push the ladder back. With the added weight of the two fey-orcs and fey-kobolds, it's very difficult and he is not able to do so. The two fey-orcs on the wall swing their horns or weapon at the liontaur but are unable to hit him. STR check by Sq6 = 24 Sq6-7 misses AC 9 S6 misses AC 15
Garrett wallops fey-orc L2. He keeps up the beating on the fey-orcs, hitting with both of his attacks. He drops one of the creatures in front of him and then steps towards the ladder. Please make a Reflex save vs DC 15 every round that you are standing on the Grease spell. Failing means that Garrett falls. Make a DC 10 Balance check to move when on the Grease, failing that requires a DC 15 Reflex save to prevent falling.
Xenia snakes out her chain towards the fey-orc crawling up the wall. It doesn't hurt the fey-orc as badly as it should have, but nearly drops the creature. Then she loops back and over the wall again, waiting for targets to appear.
Syr pushes the ladder off the wall and instructs the students to fire the catapult. At his words, the students fire off the catapult before the last fey-orc squads are too close to hit. They have the satisfaction of knocking Squads 3 and 4 down and seeing some of them get up slowly.
=========================================
Flyer Squad 1 continues to keep the summoned fiendish dire wolf busy and away from more vital things. FlSq1-1 hits AC 14, 3 damage FlSq1-5 hits AC 19, 3 damage FlSq1-6 misses AC 4
The rest of Flyer Squad 1 and all of Flyer Squad 2 waits to snipe at someone or for the ladder to remain upright.
Fey-orc Squad 1 put the ladder back into place again.
Appolo -- DC 23 STR check with polearm providing +6
Fey-orc Squad 2 starts swarming up the ladder. By the end of the round, four of the squad are on the ladder, ready to mount the wall next round unless someone can prevent them.
Fey-orc Squads 3 and 4 get to their feet and advance once more.
Fey-orc Squads 5 and 7 advance closer to the wall. Squad 5 stops short of Garrett, waiting for orders.
Fey-orc Squad 6 keeps holding the ladder in place. Their member 6-7 on the wall again tries to gore Toros but cannot get past his defenses. He hops down from the crenellation, drawing an attack from Toros. Toros -- AoO vs AC 17, please
Fey-orc Squad 8 repeat the process of picking up the ladder and putting it into place. Syr -- DC 23 STR check to dislodge ladder, with polearm providing +6
Sergeant S1 moves forward and rejoins his squad. Sergeants S2 and S3 move closer to the wall.
Sergeant S4 steps forward 5', then starts trying to locate the mage that he saw go invisible. He listens but cannot find Oni. Then he gropes for the mage, successfully touching him. Knowing what square Oni is hiding, he swings his falchion and manages to hit the mage. Listen = 12 Touch attack to locate = Touch AC 21, 35% (under 50% miss chance) Attack = hits AC 20, 43%, 9 damage
Oni -- in future rounds, please roll Move Silently if you are trying to hide
Sergeant S5 makes a 5' step to block Garrett's advance towards the ladder. He swings his scimitar and misses the mage. S5 misses AC 9
Sergeant S6 swings his scimitar at Toros, almost slipping his blade past the liontaur's defenses. He then tries to move but Xenia's chain snakes out and kills the creature. S6 misses AC 25
Sergeant S7 clambers around the outside of the crenellation, shielded from Xenia's wicked chain. He tries to attack Toros and also misses. S7 misses AC 14 No AoO since crenellation provides Cover.
Leader L1 moves up to join the squad assaulting the west tower.
Leader L2 steps forward with Garrett and swings his scimitar. L2 misses AC 23
Leader L4 and the fey-kobolds on the ladder are blocked at the top of the ladder by the sergeant that slipped in front of him.
Their target having hidden somewhere out of sight, the fey-kobolds in Flyer Squad 1 and Flyer Leader L3 don't bother trying to hit Garrett.
The remaining fey-kobolds move around the Entangle spell.
Appolo -- Listen check please Oni -- Spot check please
The remaining spellcaster on the field steps back a bit from Garrett and casts Magic Missile, striking Garrett for 8 hitpoints.
Finally, Oni's staff complete its transformation and becomes a giant constrictor. The thing is huge, overlapping the walkway and coiling atop the nearest catapult. It will be ready to attack next round.

Oni forgto how long it took for the sake to appear, or better put, he didnt know he was this close totrouble. The beast hits him though hes invisible. He can se the beast searching for him every where, it was a lucky hit. He tries to move to his right, but steps on something drawing the attention of the beast. Its a forgone conclusion he would get smacke again, if his protector snake did not hit with its own attack. Such was thefate in battle.
Going through the weave well known to him, he calls forth his devil friend Babu.

Due to the Airwalk, he should just be able to step off the ground, and no longer be subject to the effects of the grease.(Just in case I need the reflex save to step off the grease into the air: Reflex save:21)
(Since there is no map, I'll go by the previous one. Since I moved 5' closer to the ladder last time, by my calculation I am now 10' away from the ladder. Since I have a 10' reach, I should be able to swing at the ladder to try and destroy it.)
If Garrett can swing at the ladder, he is going to, with both attacks. If it's destroyed after the first attack, then he'll take swing two at S5 who is right in front of him. If he can't swing at the ladder, then swings start at S5 and then go to L2 when he is dead.(hope that all made sense.)
Full Power Attack of 5.(Shouldn't be hard to hit an inanimate object)(Also, on the damage, I previously forgot to take into account that my longsword is now large.)

It is his chance to harm the horny guy and Toros seize it with his paws. (22>17, AC, 11 hp damage)
Then, moving close enough, near to the big snake, the liontaur pulls a scroll and grease where the ladder of the squad 2 connects with the walls. (105W, 106W, 106X...) The attackers would have to balance well if they want to mount the wall... (reflex save?, duration?)

Toros, why don't you Grease the Ladder itself? That way they may not be able to climb it.

Thanks Xenia! I think I might have misinterpreted the spell description. John, if it would be possible to grease the whole ladder, considering the range of the spell and other reqýirements, please change my post as to "grease" the ladder not specific squares.

Then he starts gesturing and chanting to call up another summoned creature.
The dire wolf snaps at another of the fey-kobolds, killing another of the miserable creatures. Then Drag steps 5' closer to the fey-orcs holding the ladder. Drag hits AC 19, 18 damage
Meanwhile, the giant constrictor snake tries to attack the fey-orc that hurt its master. Its jaws open wide and it nearly bites the fey-orc in two. Then it drops the dying thing and stands ready to guard its master once more. Snake hits AC 30, 16 damage
Appolo flings the ladder back in the faces of the fey-orcs. Hopefully that summoned creature will keep them from setting it up again. After doing this, he can hear the sound of the door at the base of the tower being opened.
When Appolo tells her to fire the catapult, Clarice responds, "Sir, they're all too close to fire at. Unless I swing it all the way around to fire over near the other tower."
Syr can't manage to push the ladder away. He's preparing to meet fey-orcs and other things swarming up the ladder.
Garrett swings his sword at the targets in front of him. His first swing removes the annoying fey-orc that is trying to block him. The second hits the ladder and makes a significant impact on the near side. It's barely holding, though. Garrett - Highlight to display spoiler: {These creatures are susceptible to Turning by you.}
Toros makes his swing at the near fey-orc and his claws do far less damage than they should have. The liontaur moves towards the recently summoned snake, allowing both of the fey-orcs on the wall a chance to swing at his back. He pulls the scroll from his pouch as he moves and reads it, coating the ladder held by Squad 2 with a thin layer of Grease. The only fey-orc to fall from the ladder is the bottom one. Fey-orc S7 misses AC 18 Sq6-7 misses AC 8 Sq2-9 Reflex = 19 Sq2-8 Reflex = 20 Sq2-7 Reflex = 12 Sq2-5 Reflex = 4 DM Note -- letting you combine the Move action with retrieving the scroll.
Xenia pulls a potion from her pouch and downs it, getting ready to go back into the fight.
========================================
DM Note -- Changing around a bit, going ladder by ladder now.
A portion of fey-kobold Flyer Squad 1 keeps battering on the pesky summoned wolf while the rest of the squad keeps waiting for either someone to shoot or to climb the ladder. FlSq1-5 misses AC 7 FlSq1-6 hits AC 17, 2 damage
Flyer Squad 2 keeps waiting, as do the Fey-kobold leaders of these squads.
Fey-orc Squad 1 repeat the process of picking up the ladder and putting it into place again. They are nothing if not persistent. Syr -- DC 9 STR check, polearm +6 on check
Fey-orc Leader L1 swings his scimitar at the summoned dire wolf, hitting the creature. L1 hits AC 20, 9 damage
Sergeant S1 keeps waiting for a chance to climb the ladder.
At the base of the west tower, the door is now standing open. Some chanting can be heard and then the room fills with a Web. STR or Escape Artist check to move through, 5' movement for every 5 the check is >10. Or burn off a 5'x5'x5' every round. Otherwise, only way on or off the tower top is Climbing DC 25 or dropping 10'
At the next ladder, the fey-orcs caught on the ladder attempt to carefully balance. The topmost two fey-orcs balance successfully and step off onto the top of the wall. The third one carefully climbs upward. The fey-orc that fell from the ladder attempts to try it again and successfully mounts the ladder partway. Sergeant S2 beside the squad gets a grip on the ladder but then falls off. Sq2-9 Balance = 16 Sq2-8 Balance = 17 Sq2-7 Balance = 11 Sq2-5 Reflex = 18, Balance = 18 S2 Reflex = 19, Balance = 7
The rest of the Squad gingerly try to hold the ladder. Sergeant S3 moves up to join them. Sq2 Reflex = 15, STR = 17
Having seen their sergeant cut down, Fey-orc Squad 5 rush forward to attack Garrett. None of them manage to penetrate the cleric near-invulnerable armor. Sq5-6 misses AC 10 Sq5-5 misses AC 14 Sq5-4 misses AC 13 Sq5-3 misses AC 15 Sq5-2 misses AC 8 Garrett -- Make one AoO against this squad.
Fey-orc Leader L2 chops at Garrett's back and even the added help doesn't let him hit the cleric. L2 misses AC 14
Fey-orc Squad 6 keep holding the ladder. The fey-orc 6-7 on top of the wall makes a short 5' step and swings at Toros. Sq6-7 misses AC 6
Sergeant S7 steps onto the wall, drawing an attack from Xenia. Without the sneak attack damage, the rogue is unable to over the tough hide of the fey-orc. The fey-orc swings his falchion at the rogue, but cannot hit the nimble half-elf. Xenia AoO1 hits AC 25, 5 damage S7 misses AC 13
Fey-orc Leader L4 steps off the ladder and moves to attack Toros, but cannot hit the liontaur. L4 misses AC 18
The three fey-kobolds on the ladder climb onto the wall. As they do, Xenia's chain whips out at them. Then they mill about, two of them barely able to move. AoO vs. 3-2 hits AC 24, 7 damage AoO vs. 3-3 misses AC 12 AoO vs. 3-6 hits AC 28, 7 damage
The rest of the fey-kobolds down below don't move to mount the ladder. It's now too wobbly for them to risk it and they retreat closer to the east tower. Their squad leader L3 moves close to them, too.
The fey-kobold spellcaster unleashes another burst of Magic Missile at Garrett, inflicting 13 points of damage.
Fey-orc Squad 7 move forward but the back end of the squad and their ladder become Entangled.
At the east tower, members of Fey-orc Squad 8 start to climb the ladder. Next round they could be clambering onto the top of the tower. Syr -- DC 23 STR check, with polearm and student providing +8
Farther back, fey-orc Squads 3 and 4 move closer to the wall. The fey-kobolds move around the Entangle spell.

Hoping that Wardd's luck will be still with him Toros continues to defend the top of the ladder(AC, 28), moving 5'-10' (depending on the movement of Oni and the snake) away from Fey-orc 6-7 and L4.
Meanwhile, the Taur's intelligent item outlines with a pale faery glow a 5-ft radius around the open door of the West Tower, where some sounds of chanting comes from.
If this faerie fire makes the invisible spellcaster visible Toros will strike the mage with his wand and magic missiles once more (total damage 16 hp). If he cannot identify the spellcaster, the missiles will target the ones attacking his own self (first two missiles with 7 hp damage to Fey orc 6-7 and last three missiles with 9 hp damage to L4)

Garrett quickly assesses the situation in his head, and comes to the conclusion that there are just too many of them. "The best offense is a good defense." He thinks to himself as swing after swing ricochet off his armor and shield.
Garrett would smack himself on the forehead if he could, but he's much too busy, as it suddenly hits him that his opponents are fey. "You can turn fey, idiot" he thinks to himself.
Garrett focuses his holy energy and unleashes it upon the fey to his east.(thanks for the tip)
Turning check: can effect a 10HD creature or less. Turning Damage: Garrett turns 17 HD worth of fey.
Garrett then does a quick look around for the little pest shooting all the magic missiles at him. Hopefully he just got turned.

Facing off against a Fey Orc guy. Xenia's lip curls into a sneer. Her eyes lift for a brief moment to take in the scene down the wall. This ladder's had it. But there's another one up. And nobody's there to stop 'em coming up!!!
"I'll get you later," the dark rogue spits. Then she lets herself fall backward into a quick summersault and catches up on the balls of her feet, springing into the air. Quickly, she gathers the darkness to her and zips down the length of the wall, over the heads of the Fey Orc and Little Fey Lizard guys.
With her length of chain ready, Xenia brakes at the top of the greased ladder. C'mon up, you. C'mon up and let me drop you.

Oni directs his friend and ally the snake, to move along the walkway to the left. One he arrives at X107, to attack the orcs who have climbed the ladder, and who are still coming up the laddr. Babu his summoned devil, begins to appear out of the nothingness, and Oni places him next to Garrett. "Babu attack the big one!!" Oni yelss at the ally.
Having sent his orders, he then casts a detect magic spell, and begins to search the dead orc for magic items. The beast had made it ofer the wall with no problems, so magic must have been in play.

While he is waiting, however, his shield acts and casts Faerie Fire targeted in front of the open door to the west tower. The purple glowing figure of a winged kobold is visible afterwards.
Garrett swings on one of the fey-orcs attacking him, chopping into two parts. Then he suddenly remembers that he can turn fey creatures, slapping himself in exasperation. He gips his holy symbol and presents it to the fey-orcs surrounding him. He sees many of the creatures surrounding him slump to the ground as if whatever animated them had fled. The fey-orc Leader L2 and fey-kobold Leader L4 run away at their maximum possible speed. The Protector looks around for the pesky fey-kobold spellcaster and sees him smirking nearby. Garrett -- AoO vs the fleeing L2, AC 17
Xenia tumbles away from the fey-orc facing her and then flys up and over her companions and opponents clogging the walkway. She finishes her flight above the top of the second ladder, ready to strike any opponent so unwary as to move beneath her.
Syr and the student are unable to topple the ladder with the added weight of the four fey-orcs on it. They prepare themselves to repel the attackers.
Oni directs his snake to attack the two fey-orcs to the west. He has to move out of the way himself to allow the snake to move forward. He directs his summoning spell to bring the bearded devil and place it close to Garrett on the ground below. Then he casts Detect Magic to examine the dead fey-orc at his feet. Oni -- Highlight to display spoiler: {First round of examination = there are two different magical auras surrounding the entire body of the creature. Keep concentrating for more information.}
The snake whips it's head forward to bite one of the two fey-orcs on the wall but misses. Snake misses AC 16
The dire wolf bites one of the fey-orcs holding the ladder, sinking its teeth into the creature's tough hide. Then Drag twists himself and throws the fe-orc to the ground. . Drag hits AC 19, 12 damage Trip = 23 vs. DC 13
The newly summoned bearded devil arrives and wonders at the command from its master. The only "big one" here is Garrett and he thought that was one of his master's allies. Instead, it moves to attack the fey-kobold sorcerer S4 but doesn't hit. Devil misses AC 14
Appolo directs the students to target the fey-orcs clustered at the base of the east tower. Clarice instead heaves on the ladder and topples it again. Bertram heaves and grunts to turn the catapult.
Appolo examines the ladder down and finds it blocked. Then he picks up a bow and fires it at a fey-orc down below and hits it squarely. The fey-orcs tough hide seems to have stopped the arrow before it hit anything vital.
Toros sees that Oni and the snake have not moved enough for him to retreat from the two fey-orcs. He aims his wand at the glowing fey-kobold and inflicts enough damage to kill the poor thing.
========================================
The two fey-kobolds and the fey-orc Leader L1 keep battering at the summoned dire wolf. Only the fey-kobolds manage to hit, but one of them hits extremely well. FlSq1-5 hits AC 21 (threat), confirmed AC 20, 10 damage FlSq1-6 hits AC 14, 2 damage L1 misses AC 10
The rest of the Flyer Squad 1 and their leader keep waiting for a ladder or for someone to shoot. Flyer Squad 2 move over to use another ladder, or to get closer to a big target like Garrett or that rogue flying above the walls.
Fey-orc Squad 1 wants to keep playing the ladder game with Appolo, but one of their squad is laying on the ground and three fey-orcs aren't enough to lift the heavy ladder and put it into place. Their fallen comrade attempts to stand but is attacked by the summoned wolf. At the end of the round, the ladder has not been raised. Drag hits AC 23, 12 damage Trip = 17 vs. DC 13 (if possible on AoO, I have to check)
Sergeant S1 keeps waiting for a chance to climb the ladder.
The two fey-orcs on the wall take 5' steps forward to attack the snake, although neither can hit the large thing. Sq2-8 misses AC 5 Sq2-9 misses AC 8
The ladder is no longer affected by the Grease spell so the two fey-orcs on the ladder scramble up to the wall. Out of nowhere, a spiked chain hits both of them and they fall dead to the ground below. The remainder of the squad holds the ladder. Sergeants S2 and S3 also attempt to mount the ladder. Xenia hits S2 but cannot drop him. S3 is still too far away to be attacked.
Squad 3 advances up to the wall, perhaps not realizing that there is a giant snake awaiting them atop it.
The two fey-kobold flyers move aside and fire their slings at Garrett. The devil makes an attack against one of them when it moves. FlSq4-1 misses AC 17 FlSq4-2 misses AC 14 Devil hits AC 27, 7 damage
Fey-orc Squad 4 were planning to charge Garrett but the devil is in their way. Instead they engage the devil. Only one of the four fey-orcs manage to hit the devil. Sq4-10 misses AC 6 Sq4-8 hits AC 20, 7 damage Sq4-6 misses AC 9 Sq4-5 misses AC 8
The fey-kobold sorcerer casts another Magic Missile at Garrett, inflicting 8 hitpoints of damage. Then it steps back 5' to get away from the devil.
The two remaining members of fey-orc Squad 6 rush Garrett, hoping to get some lucky strikes in but they fail to connect. Sq6-2 misses AC 17 Sq6-4 misses AC 21
Atop the wall, the other member of Squad 6 and Leader L4 both attack Toros but miss. Sq6-7 misses AC 12 L4 misses AC 11
The fey-kobolds atop the wall mill about, wondering whether to try to fire their slings at something or fly into the compound.
Sergeant S7 moves over to open the door to the lower floor of the east tower, in preparation for his squads arrival.
Down below, Squad 7 break loose from the Entangle spell but cannot move forward. Flyer Squad 3 advances a bit but is blocked by the other fey-creatures. The other portion of Flyer Squad 3 and their leader wait for a ladder to become available.
At the east tower, two fey-orcs step onto the top of the tower. The first one swings at Syr and misses. The second attempts to hit Student D and misses horribly. The rest of the squad on the ladder move upwards but their companions down below get stuck in the Entangle spell again. Sq8-10 misses AC 19 Sq8-9 misses AC 7

Without the ladders, they just so many tourists watching from outside the wall."
Alright, a big snake is good. Hope he can hold the ladder. Cause looks like Syr needs help over there.
"Oni Magic Guy, I'm gonna leave this ladder to your Snake." Her chain strikes out at the nearer of the two orkies, rightfully more concerned with the giant snake than with the slim hovering half-drow girl. His mistake. She nails him right in the kidneys with the spiky chain. That one's gotta hurt.
Then Xenia jets back along the wall, pulling the shadows around her again. Gotta get me more protection if I'm gonna go out there over the wall again. She considers one of the potions in her bag. If only she had the time to sit still for one moment. Just one moment.
The dark rogue looks down from her new hiding spot, just over the group Wall Infiltrators. hehe Just you move somewhere. Just try it.

DM Question - Do you mean to move 5' back and then use the item? This way, no AoO possible for either action.
Or Move to behind the catapult (AC109-AD110)? There would be one AoO from each fey-orc for moving this far because you're moving through threatened squares.
Or squeese around / onto catapult and take a -4 to AC?

Garrett takes his AoO at L2, (still power attacking by 5) Attack: 19ac, damage: 21hp.
Garrett then turns his attention to the sorcerer picking him apart piece by piece. Channeling his divine energies, Garrett turns the fey. Directing the turning at the area of that sorcerer and the incoming squad7.
Turning check: can effect a 10HD creature or less. Turning Damage: Garrett turns 18HD worth of fey.
Garrett then yells back up to Xenia, "I'll be there as quick as I can. I gotta finish this ladder off first and then I'm on the way." (The ladder I'm standing next that I already hit is still serviceable, correct? If not then Garrett will move over toward xenia and the squads there with their ladders.)
Toros - OOC Monday January 30th, 2006 12:38:04 PM
Sorry for not being clear, and thanks for the clarification. Toros takes a 5' back and then uses the item, which then turns into a boar.

Appolo thanks Clarice for helping with the ladder.Then directs her to help Bertram with the catapult and fire it as soon as possible.
He then fires twice more at the same orc he wounded last time.Looking around he yels for Xenia"Xenia take out those ladders!!"Noticing that the an orc has gotten behind them he Signals Syr"Watch your back Orc behind you coming up stairs."

Continuing with his strategy, syr braces the polearm with his shoulder and shoves against the ladder. To his dismay, it slips off once again. "Uhoh, time to change the plan." He drops the polearm and prepares to defend himself.

Then she flies over and around the fighting on the wall to hover over the fey-kobolds, waiting for them to move.
Toros moves away from the wall slightly then dips his hand into a bag at his side. He flicks a ball of fluff to the ground and a boar springs up to protect him. As Toros instructs it, the boar does nothing but protect itself this round.
Garrett swings as the fey-orc leader runs away from the might of ... whatever deity is answering Garrett's calls. He misses the fey-orc however. The Protector makes another Turning attempt, destroying even more of the fey-creatures. The fey-kobold sorcerer turns and runs, allowing the devil a chance to hit him again. The devil's glaive bits deep into the fey-kobolds back but doesn't drop it. Garrett looks down at the ladder at his feet and sees that it is barely serviceable (less than 5 hps remaining).
Appolo shouts some instructions but he is uncertain whether anyone is paying attention to tactics. He hits the same fey-orc again but it seems the creature is unaffected. The students fire the catapult and knock the squad attacking the east tower down including sweeping the ladder from the wall and plunging the two fey-orcs on the ladder to the ground. The fey-orcs are all stirring, however.
Syr tries to push the ladder down once again but is unable to budge it. He now decides to defend himself from the fey-orc on top of the tower. Dobbin swings a halberd at the fey-orc and connects but is unable to get past it's tough hide. Dobbin hits AC 18, 8 damage
Oni keeps concentrating on the fallen fey-orc.
The summoned dire wolf again attacks the fey-orc on the ground, nearly killing it and keeping it on the ground. Wolf hits AC 16, 16 damage -- Trip = 31 vs DC 13
The snake attacks the fey-orc on top of the wall and kills it. Snake hits AC 31, 16 damage I had previously neglected to remove one of these fey-orcs
The devil steps forward 5' while working himself into frenzy. It connects twice with one of the fey-orcs in Squad 4 but cannot defeat its tough hide. Devil hits AC 20, 10 damage Devil hits AC 17, 10 damage
========================================
The two fey-kobolds attack the summoned dire wolf but cannot hit it. Fey-orc Leader L1 manages to hit the creature and injure it. FlSq1-5 misses AC 2 FlSq1-6 misses AC 7 L1 hits AC 17, 10 damage
The remaining fey-kobolds in Flyer Squad 1 keep waiting, as does their leader.
With their leader's shouts ringing in their ears, the fey-orcs in Squad 1 move to attack the summoned wolf. One of them manages to hit the creature. Sq1-2 hits AC 16, 6 damage Sq1-4 misses AC 10
The sergeants on the ladder held by fey-orc Squad 2 move up onto the wall. The first one is attacked and dropped by the snake as it steps past the crenellations. Fey-orc Sergeant S3 moves onto the wall and attacks the snake. Snake AoO hits AC 30, 15 damage S3 hits AC 25 (threat), not confirmed AC 11, 8 damage
Flyer Squad 2 start moving to go up the ladder held by fey-orc Squad 2. Four of the fey-kobolds get onto the ladder.
Fey-orc Squad 3 drops the end of the ladder and start climbing upwards. None get close enough to attack the snake this round.
The remnants of Fey-orc Squad 4 move to attack the devil. One is attacked as it moves close but is missed. Neither of the fey-orcs is able to hit the devil. Devil misses AC 12 Sq4-1 misses AC 8 Sq4-2 misses AC 14
Flyer Squad 3 edge closer, hoping for a ladder to climb.
Fey-orc Squad 7 moves up to the wall and plants their ladder. Next turn it will be up and fey-orcs will be climbing towards the wall.
Flyer Squad 4 is finally free of the Entangle spell and they move over towards the centre of the wall.
Fey-orc Squad 8 start the business of getting to their feet and picking up the ladder. The two members on top of the wall move and continue to attack. Sq8-10 attack Syr, misses AC 18 Sq8-9 attacks Dobbin, hits AC 19, 9 damage
On top of the wall, fey-orc 6-7 and Leader L4 continue to attack Toros. The leader drives his scimitar into the side of the liontaur, inflicting a nasty wound. Sq6-7 misses AC 5 L4 hits AC 25, 10 damage
The fey-kobolds on the wall prepare to glide down into the centre of the compound. As they do so, a shadow whips a chain at them. The first two creatures fall to Xenia's chain but the third escapes unscathed and it launches itself from the wall, gliding down towards the centre of the compound. As Xenia watches it escape, she sees a slight figure approach from the west wall. The person sees the fey-kobold and makes some gestures. Three balls of magical energy strike the fey-kobold and it drops.

Xenia drifts away from the hacking little fey-orcs below, and pulls a vial from her haversack. It's the first thing on top. With a flick of her thumb the cork goes flying, and she downs it in one gulp. And invisible shield comes up to protect her.

Toros takes one more step back, 5' to the line 110. His boar follows him and also takes a 5' step, coming to the place he has left (AC108), and standing between the Taur and L4 for defending Toros. (AC, both Toros and Boar, 20) Gaining some safe space the Taur activates his wand one more time, seeing the assault on the East Tower. Five missiles strike the fey-orc 8-9, inflicting 17 hp damage. Then Toros pulls another scroll to use...

Garrett yells up to whoever happens to be listening. "I got these two ladders here, I'll get to the rest as soon as I can."
Garrett takes a free 5' step to AE/AF 104/105. He then takes two mighty swings at the ladder just planted by squad 7, and in the process of being raised. If Garrett cannot reach the ladder that squad7 is putting up(10' reach), then he will take swing#1 at the barely serviceable ladder on the ground at his feet, and swing#2 at one of the orcs in squad7.(Power attack by 5) Attack1:ac22 damage:19hp.

Oni Borzzone AC 19 38/47 hp(mage armor 9 hours, Tongues 3hours, Invisible 9min Tuesday January 31st, 2006 9:01:18 PM
With the battle raging around him, Oni finally takes his attention away fron the fallen foe. Looking around he views the battle before him.
Xenia floats away from the fey-orcs and retreats into the shadows. She then retrieves a potion from her pouch and downs it in preparation for joining the melee below. But she remains ready to attack anyone who moves too close.
Toros on the wall and directs his boar to protect him. He fires his wand at one of the fey-orcs atop the east tower and sees it fall to the ground far below. He then pulls a scroll from his pouch and the fey-orc swings in response but misses the liontaur. L4 misses AC 15
Syr doesn't need to topple the ladder this turn so he attacks the nearby fey-orc. Only his first, very accurate strike is able to get past the creature's tough hide.
Garrett steps over 5' and chops at the ladder at his feet, destroying it. Then he swings at one of the fey-orcs in the nearby Squad 7, dropping the creature.
Oni stops contemplating the dead fey-orc at his feet and looks around. Oni - Highlight to display spoiler: {The faint aura on the creature is from a recent conjuration spell. The stronger aura is overwhelming, from a necromantic ritual performed several days before. Roll Spellcraft if you want to identify the recent spell.}
The summoned dire wolf attacks the fey-orc Leader L1 and bites deep but is unable to trip the stronger fey-orc. Wolf hits AC 29, 18 damage -- Trip = 12 vs. DC 14
The snake bites at the fey-orc Sergeant S3, gripping the fey-orc and drawing the creature into the snake's coils. The snake then crushes the fey-orc for a little more damage. Snake hits AC 28, 17 damage -- Grapple = 39 vs. DC 16, 12 damage from constrict
The devil steps away from the two fey-orcs and swings his glaive. He connects only once and barely cuts through the creatures tough hide. Devil hits AC 28, 11 damage Devil misses AC 8
Appolo debates what to do.
========================================
The fey-kobolds keep trying to hit the summoned dire wolf but even though both hit, they can't hurt the creature. The other fey-kobolds keep waiting for a ladder to become available, or something. FlSq1-5 hits AC 20, 2 damage FlSq1-6 hits AC 19, 0 damage
The fey-orcs in Squad 1 keep trying to kill the summoned dire wolf. The one fey-orc on the ground tries to get to its feet but is attacked by the wolf and killed. Sq1-2 misses AC 6 Sq1-4 misses AC 7 Wolf hits AC 22, 16 damage
Fey-orc Squad 2 keeps holding the ladder for the fey-kobolds to climb.
The fey-kobolds on the ladder start climbing onto the wall. The snake is busy with the fey-orc so it can't attack any of them. The other three fey-kobolds stay as far from the snake as they can. Four other members of this squad start climbing the ladder.
Fey-orc Squad 3 continue to hold the ladder. The topmost fey-orc steps onto the wall and cannot move because of the snake. It swings its falchion at the snakes coils and misses. The other fey-orcs shuffle up the ladder and another one joins them. Sq3-10 misses AC 13
Sergeant S3 attempts to escape from the snakes coils but quickly realizes that it's futile. S3 Grapple = 8 vs. DC 33
Fey-orc Squad 4 again attempts to close with the devil. The devil makes a swing and connects but is unable to get past the fey-orc's tough hide. One of the two fey-orcs connects with its swing. Sq4-1 hits AC 20, 8 damage Sq4-2 misses AC 6
A portion of Flyer Squad 3 steps closer and fires their slings at Garrett. It's a useless effort as the Protector is too well armored to be hurt by any but the most accurate shot. FlSq3-5 misses AC 8 FlSq3-7 misses AC 14 FlSq3-8 misses AC 23 FlSq3-9 misses AC 16 FlSq3-10 misses AC 20 FlSq3-11 misses AC 23
Fey-orc Squad 7 throw up the ladder and two of the squad climb upwards. Neither reaches the top of the wall this round.
Fey-orc Squad 8 set the ladder and push it upright. Syr -- DC 14 STR check, with polearm providing +6 (or one of the students can do it, if you don't want to take the AoO
Flyer Squad 4 looks a little nervous.
On the wall, fey-orc 6-7 starts to move around the boar but is struck down by Xenia's chain that appears from the shadows. The Leader L4 swings his scimitar but is unable to hit the liontaur.
Sergeant S7 opens the door and enters the lower part of the east tower.
========================================
Looking towards the centre of the compound, both Toros and Xenia can see a small, slight student running towards the wall. It looks like she will be here next turn.

(John, ýn the map, could you please place the boar to square AC rather than AD, as I have stated in my previous post. But if it would create trouble do not bother...)
The summoned Boar continues to block the attacks and defend the Taur, or at least Toros hopes like that. (AC Boar, 20; Toros, 27) Meanwhile the liontaur moves to the left as much as necessary to "grease" the ladder that Squad 2 is holding, again.
(About the movement please let me know if 5' step would be enough or not in order to cast the spell. If a free 5' step would be enough Toros would get another scroll as his move action. Also, sorry for asking such a question, but what is the function of the trapdoor in castles? I mean should Toros be careful in order not to fall to that trap..!? )
DM JohnP - I was using "trapdoor" in the sense of a door mounted into the floor / ceiling to allow access between floors. Not as a trap.

Appolo continues to watch the battle.Seeing the orc enter the East tower,he agians signals Syr to watch out that the enemy is coming up behind him.He signals Syr that an Orc has entered the tower.He then fires his bow three more times at the orc he previously wounded.Hitting twice.
He then looks around for Xenia"Xenia light your fires.Ignite the trap."Then signals Garrett"Activate your sleep spell now!!"
Appolo then orders XClarice and Bertram to reload and fire the catapult agian as fast as possible at the same spot.

From just over the battlement, Garrett's giant head moves into sight. Looks like Syr's got things under control too. It's the other side that's gone bad. Again.
"Toros, Garrett's down below, but we need someone to stop 'em coming up this ladder over here. I'm the only one who's free to move around and cover the other side. Can you make it around this guy here?" She points to the fey-orc leader and then takes a spang at him. It's a good hit. The rogue wills it to be a good hit. But that Orkie's a tough bugger. "Toros, can you do it?"
The rogue doesn't stick around for an answer. She can't. There's Flappies already up on the wall just waiting to fly in. She zips back across the wall, gathering all the shadows to her, until, pulling up just over the group of unsuspecting fliers she waits for them to make an unwise move.
Note 6-7 was described has having been struck down last round. But he's still on the map. Also, according to the archives, the oil should be lined up along Row 104 from X to AE. Garrett's standing in the outer edge of what would be the fire right now.

The fey-orc swing at him and misses. He reads a scroll and Greases the ladder. Only one of the four fey-kobolds on the ladder looses its grip and falls from the ladder. However it snaps its wings open quickly enough and glides away. You had to move over 5' to get within range. L4 misses AC 18
Garrett steps closer to Squad 7 and hits the ladder twice, breaking it. Two fey-orcs tumble from the ladder when it breaks.
Appolo shouts some more instructions to his companions. Then he fires his bow at the fey-orc below with exactly the same result -- the arrows stick into the creature's thick hide but appear to do no real damage. DM Info -- The Symbol of Sleep spell could not be cast because Garrett hadn't either bought the material components or had enough cash on hand. The fey-orcs have DR 10/cold iron so the arrows can only harm them on critical hits.
Xenia shouts to Toros and then makes a swing at the fey-orc Leader L4. She hits and wounds the creature. Then she flies up and over the wall preparing to attack the fey-kobolds from concealment. DM Info -- I understood that the buried oil flasks need to be ignited somehow. Please correct me if I am incorrect.
Syr bends down to pick up the polearm that he had dropped. The fey-orc swings at him but misses. He easily tosses the ladder back down to the ground.
Oni starts conjuring up another devil. As he does so, the summoned fiendish dire wolf returns to wherever it came from.
One of the fey-orcs in front of the first devil drops from the cuts inflicted by the devil's glaive. The devil steps back from the fey-orc and swings again, hitting the fey-orc with both swings and dropping the creature. Devil hits AC 26, 14 damage Devil hits AC 17, 12 damage
The snake squeezes the fey-orc that it had previously grabbed. Snake -- Grapple = 43 vs. DC 16, Constrict = 15 damage
========================================
Flyer Squad 1 waits for a ladder to go up. The remaining fey-orcs from Squad 1 and their Sergeant S1 grab the ladder and prepare to set it up next round.
Squad 2 keeps holding the greasy ladder although it wobbles a little.
The fey-kobolds currently on the ladder try to move gingerly upwards. Each of them slowly move upwards, the top one stepping onto the top of the wall and sliding ahead until a chain comes out of the shadows to rip its life away. The next one reaches the top of the wall and stops.
The four fey-kobolds on top of the wall prepare to fire their slings at the snake but the silent chain wielded by Xenia kills each of them.
Squad 3 keeps holding the ladder. The fey-orc on the wall hits the snake and hurts it quite badly. Sq3-10 hits AC 23 (threat), confirmed AC 20, 18 damage
The fey-orcs in Squad 7 move to attack Garrett. None of them manage to hit but they almost surround the Protector. One of them is hit by the devil as it moves but its tough hide absorbs all of the damage. Garrett -- make one AoO Sq7-1 misses AC 20 Sq7-2 misses AC 13 Sq7-3 misses AC 19 Devil hits AC 25, 10 damage Sq7-4 misses AC 14 Sq7-8 misses AC 7 Sq7-10 misses AC 7
Flyer Squad 3 holds their sling fire because of the fey-orcs swarming Garrett.
Squad 8 sets up the ladder again. The sole fey-orc on top of the tower attempts to hit Syr again and misses badly. Sq8-10 misses AC 13 Syr -- DC 8 STR check, polearm adds +2
Flyer Squad 8 simply waits.
On the wall, Leader L4 steps forward and attacks the boar. The fey-orc's scimitar bites into the boar's side. L4 hits AC 25, 9 damage
The people on the east tower can hear some banging and crashing from down below.
========================================
From down in the courtyard, the student shouts up to Toros and Xenia. "Do you need some assistance?"

"Huh?" The dark rogue looks back into the courtyard. Didn't expect to hear anything from that direction.
"Help? Yeah. If you can spare yourself from defending the other walls. Yeah, help would be great!"
She reaches behind to the haversack on her back. Alright Lets light up some ground. Her hand comes back with an alchemist's fire.
Xenia shoots out over the crenalated battlements, and then bends her body in a dive. Pulling up over the orcs at the bottom of the ladder, she simply releases the flask as she flies by overhead. She bends her body into a double bank as she turns around, returning cloaked in darkness to await more unsuspecting passers by.
Note Yup, you're right. The trap needs to be lit. And there's an alchemist's fire sitting on the battlements with on one to use it for just that reason. But, Xenia has four more. Time to use them. To recap, there are 10 flasks of oil placed at 4 foot intervals so that their areas overlap. Igniting one, should ignite the entire row.

"Thanks, Xenia! Don't worry and do what you need to do over there! And it seems we have some additional assistance!" Toros yells to Xenia, and turns to the direction of the new slim student. He nodes with appreciation in response to the student's offer for help.
Toros then activates his wand to strike L4 and misssiles targets the fey-orc, doing 17 hp damage. The boar continues to defend / guard (AC 20), while Toros takes a 5' to the right and retrieves his healing wand (AC 27).

When she flies over the line of prepared oil flasks, she drops the alchemist fire and moves quickly to avoid the resulting fire. Then she loops around to finish next to where she dropped the alchemist fire where she waits for any creature to make an unwary move.
Toroas fires his Wand of Magic Missiles at the Leader L4 who just hit Toros' pet boar. The missiles strike the creature and it limply falls from the wall into the courtyard below. Then the liontaur shifts over to pick up his healing stick.
Garrett reacts when the fey-orcs move to surround him and cleaves the first one that moved into two twitching pieces. He rethinks stepping into the fiery line that Xenia just created. So, standing where he is, the Protector calls upon the power of ... whoever is answering his calls ... to destroy whatever is animating these fey-creatures. He turns one of the fey-kobold Leaders and destroys many other fey-creatures.
Appolo directs the two students to keep preparing the catapult for another shot. The he hurriedly rigs a rope and slides down the southwest corner of the tower, out of the sight of the fey-kobolds.
Oni completes the summoning spell and directs his new servant to attack the ladders. After completing the spell, Oni chooses to do nothing.
The first devil steps towards Flyer Squad 3 and swings it's glaive. The first stroke nearly cuts a fey-kobold in two but the second goes wide. Devil hits AC 29, 14 damage Devil misses AC 13
The snake squeezes the fey-orc that is in its coils again, nearly crushing it this time. Snake - Grapple = 34 vs. DC 16, 16 damage from Constrict
The second devil sends a thought to Oni Highlight to display spoiler: {As you wish, master.} and drops his glaive. The devil becomes frenzied and swings his left hand towards the ladder held by Squad 2 and his right at the one held by Squad 3. His claws bite into the ladders and take some chips from them. Devil2 hits AC 17, 7 damage Devil2 hits AC 18, 7 damage
Syr finally knocks the fey-orc down as he ignores the ladder this turn. Dobbin grabs a polearm and easily dislodges the ladder.
========================================
Fey-orc Squad 1 and Sergeant S1 set the ladder into place again. The fey-kobolds in Flyer Squad 1 wait to start climbing next turn. The students -- DC 17 STR check, polearm adds +6
Squad 2 keeps holding the ladder and members of Flyer Squad 2 push their way through to climb it. As each comes within range, Xenia's whips her chain from the shadows. She hits the first two and the third manages to slip by.
Atop the wall, one fey-kobold moves from the shelter of the crenellations and a second fey-kobold steps from the top of the ladder. Each whirls their sling and fires at the snake. Only the first hits the snake. FlSq2-13 hits AC 20, d4=3, 3 damage FlSq2-15 misses AC 6
Squad 3 steps 5' back and away from the line of fire that Xenia has created. Atop the wall, the fey-orc attacks the snake again. Again, it is quite accurate and hurts the snake badly. Sq3-10 hits AC 23 (threat), confirmed AC 24, 15 damage
The grappled fey-orc sergeant S3 attempts to use his horns to hurt the snake but cannot hit it. S3 misses AC 7
Flyer Squad 3 steps away from the devil and fire their slings at it. Two of them hit but cannot get past the devil's tough hide. FlSq3-7 hits AC 19, 2 damage FlSq3-8 misses AC 9 FlSq3-9 hits AC 21, 1 damage FlSq3-10 misses AC 12
Squad 8 pick up the ladder and put it back into place. Syr -- DC 12 STR check, polearm adds +6
Sergeant S7 appears from the tower again and moves towards the centre of the wall.
========================================
The newly arrived student shouts up to Toros, "I'll be up there right away.!"

Toros cures some of the most terrible wounds of the snake with his healing wand (14hp) and then moves forward to hide into the shadows. The boar moves to AD107 to encounter the fey-orc S7 (AC 20). Hidden, Toros himself comes to AC108(hide,27, move silently,32, AC,15).

Then, with the slightest of mid-air wobbles, she swoops into shadow, looping around to strike again from above.

Looking out towards Babu, Oni can see there is no more enemies within reach. "Babu, come this way, attack the group to the west."
Seeing the other devil do as he said, but not what he meant, Oni redirects the devil. "Jockal attack the beasts, spread their blodd over the field!!1"
Hoping the devil would attack, he then turns his attention to his comapnion the snake. It seemed somehow some of his wounds had been healed. Reaching down he touches the sanke and casts mage armor upon him, surrounding it with a magical force.
OOC If there is time in round, cast mage armor on snake.
Toros heals the snake with his wand and then retreats into the shadows. Before doing so he commands his boar to advance into a defensive position.
Xenia whips out her chain at a fey-orc and does little more than annoy it. Then she loops and dives in the air to hide once more in a position where she can attack more of these creatures. Two more of the fey-orcs are burned by the flaming oil and alchemist fire clinging to their hides and they drop.
Garrett charges ahead and swings his longsword at Squad 8's ladder. It snaps in two from the mighty blow after all the damage from being knocked down and catapult fire.
Appolo charges the leader of the nearest fey-kobold squad, landing solid hits from both of his swords. The creature is still standing, however, after the onslaught. DM Note -- From your character sheet, the longsword should be d8+4 damage, the shortsword d6+4 plus 1d6 electricity damage Shocking damage = 2
Clarice steps forward on the west tower, grabs a polearm and pushes the ladder down. Bertram begins the process of loading the catapult.
Syr looks over the edge at the fey-orcs clustered around their broken ladder. He looks over the ammunition stored on top of the tower. He and the students could heave the bags of rocks over the side but they wouldn't get the spread that the catapult shot does. DM Info -- damage would be 3d6 to one square
Oni provides some instructions to his summoned creatures. Babu stops pursuing the fey-kobolds in front of him and moves towards Squad 3. He hits once with his glaive and hits a fey-orc. Devil1 hits AC 25, 7 damage
The second devil switches his attacks to the nearby fey-orcs but his claws cannot defeat the tough hide of the fey-orc. Devil2 hits AC 19, 9 damage Devil2 hits AC 29, 7 damage
The snake keeps squeezing the fey-orc that it has grappled. It drops the limp fey-orc once it stops struggling and prepares to face the thing that has hurt it so badly. Snake - Grapple = 27 vs. DC 16, Constrict = 12 damage
Oni then casts Mage Armor on the snake.
========================================
Fey-kobold Leader L1 switches weapons, drawing an attack from Appolo. The rogue's longsword cuts down the creature. The other adjacent fey-kobold also switches its spear and is also cut down. DM Note -- rolling Appolo's AoO's in order to speed things up 1st AoO hits AC 21, 10 damage 2nd AoO hits AC 24, 5 damage, 3 shocking damage
The other fey-kobolds either move away and fire their slings at Appolo or move to engage the pirate. Appolo cuts down another of the fey-kobolds as it rushes in. At the conclusion, Appolo has been hit by only one sling bullet. FlSq1-19 d2=2, moves away & misses AC 14 FlSq1-18 d2=2, moves away & misses AC 20 FlSq1-17 d2=2, moves away & misses AC 15 FlSq1-16 d2=1, engages, misses AC 16 FlSq1-15 d2=1, engages, misses AC 16 FlSq1-14 d2=2, moves away, hits AC 21 (threat), not confirmed AC 4, 2 damage FlSq1-13 d2=1 , engages, misses AC 12 FlSq1-12 d2=1, engages, misses AC 2 FlSq1-11 d2=2, moves away & misses AC 20 FlSq1-10 d2=1, engages, misses AC 13 FlSq1-9 d2=1, engages, misses AC 7 FlSq1-8 d2=1, engages, misses AC 11
Some of the remaining fey-kobolds wait for Squad 1 to get the ladder up again.
Fey-orc Squad 1 and Sergeant 1 start to pick up the ladder and set it into place again. Students -- DC 22 STR check, with polearm adding +6
The fey-kobold on the ladder moves upwards but Xenia's chains cuts it down. The other fey-kobolds move towards and up the ladder. As they do so, Xenia's chain catches them unawares. Finally, there is only one fey-kobold left on the ground and three on the ladder. The fey-kobold 2-8 and Leader L2 on the ground fires their slings at the rogue but both miss. FlSq2-8 misses AC 10 L2 misses AC 24
On the wall, the two fey-kobolds fire their slings at the snake. Again, only one of the sling bullets hits the snake. FlSq2-13 hits AC 22, 1 damage FlSq2-15 misses AC 6
Two of the fey-orcs in Squad 3 move to attack Devil 2, but neither can land a good strike with their falchions. Sq3-1 misses AC 13 Sq3-2 misses AC 15
On the wall, their companion attacks the snake once more and makes a smaller cut in the snake's skin. There are still four fey-orcs waiting to move upwards on this ladder but the top is blocked by the bulk of the snake. Sq3-10 hits AC 18, 6 damage
Flyer Squad 3 continues to fall back before the first devil. Each of the fey-kobolds fires their sling at the devil but only two hit and none can cause enough damage to bother the devil. FlSq3-7 hits AC 19, 3 damage FlSq3-8 misses AC 10 FlSq3-9 hits AC 18, 3 damage FlSq3-10 misses AC 8
Fey-orc Squad 8 moves to attack Garrett after the ladder is broken. Noen of them manage to hit the cleric. Sq8-7 misses AC 13 Sq8-5 misses AC 14 Sq8-3 misses AC 23 Sq8-1 misses AC 17 Sq8-2 misses AC 10 Sq8-4 misses AC 14 Garrett -- make one AoO vs. AC 17, please.

Flyer Squad 4 backs away from Garrett.
On the wall, Sergeant S7 moves to attack the boar but misses with his scimitar. S7 misses AC 12

The thin dark rogue does a double take when the demon leaves off wrecking the ladders and goes for the orcs instead. That's whack. He was doing a real number on those ladders. Demons are flighty.
Still, he's drawing attention. And that gives the girl rogue just the right opening for an attack of the vitals.
She whirls in mid-air. "THAT'S RIGHT! C'mon up the ladder!" She calls taunts. "You'll never know where I'll be at! C'mon up the ladder and die!!!"
Then she vanishes, rising up to the top of the battlements. Xenia lies in wait at the top of the ladders. Her arms shake as the rush of battle courses through her frail body. She grips the chain so tightly that it puts a tremble to her hands. But the power that comes, when her strokes fall right ... pitty the orc or kobold that catches it.

Syr (ac 26/25 HP 66/68) 3d6(4+2+1)=7 Sunday February 5th, 2006 6:31:59 PM
Still looking over the side of the tower, the elf mutters, "ya know, that cleric is a handy fellow to have around." Moving away from the wall, "Okay guys, let's help where we can, start dropping the rocks on their heads."
Toros 5d20(17+7+15+20+7)+5=71 5d4(1+4+4+3+2)+5=19 d20+22=37 d20+15=29 d20+13=28 Sunday February 5th, 2006 10:31:16 PM
Becoming visible for the moment, Toros replies the student, "Can you deal with these two slingers (fey-kobolds from flyer squad 2) at the second catapult? What is your name, by the way? You can call me Toros!" Then the taur activates his wand again, all missiles to hit the S7. (19 hp damage, and please ignore the first 5d20 roll.) Then he dives forward into the shadows again, hiding, while opening a space for the student to pass, and moving next to the boar that continues to guard against the fey-orc.
Hide: 37, Move Silently: 29, AC Toros: 28, AC Boar 20 (total defense)
Xenia cuts down one of the fey-orcs in Squad 2 from behind, using the distraction provided by the devil. Then she rises up, wrapping herself in shadows as she moves. DM Note - I moved you to W103 as stated, but that didn't really jive with what you wrote.
Garrett's swings and hits one of the fey-orcs that attacked him but could not get past the creature's tough hide. Then the Righteous Might spell leaves him and he shrinks in stature and threat. He retreats from the fey-orcs threatening him and then heals himself.
Appolo swings at the fey-kobolds surrounding him, dropping two of the creatures.
Clarice easily throws down the ladder from Squad 1. The students fire the catapult at the concentration of fey-orcs in front of the east tower. One of the orcs is almost directly under the catapult shot and isn't moving afterwards. Most of the other fey-orcs are knocked down.
Syr and the students start preparing to throw rocks at the fey-orcs beneath the east tower.
Toros speaks with the student and then triggers his wand again. The Magic Missiles kill the fey-orc Sergeant S7. The student mutters something back about not wanting to stand so close to a monster, then the student moves.
The student tells Toros, "Sorry ... I have no spells left now and this Wand of Fireballs is only good for area attacks. I could try to take out the kobold-fey but I might get the snake, too."
Oni doesn't do anything. His summoned creatures continue to follow his last orders.
The first devil steps closer to the fey-orcs in Squad 3 and swings wide with its glaive. Devil1 misses AC 13; misses AC 8
The snake attacks the fey-orc that had hurt it so badly but misses it. Snake misses AC 15
The second devil attacks the fey-orc in front of it. It's second claw nearly disembowels the creature. Devil2 misses AC 15; hits AC 30 (threat), confirmed AC 30, 18 damage
========================================
The fey-kobolds in Flyer Squad 1 continue to attack Appolo. The four still fighting with him jostle around but none can seem to get positioned for a good stab. Two others come from the west tower to join the fight. FlSq1-5 misses AC 4 FlSq1-7 misses AC 13 FlSq1-10 misses AC 15 FlSq1-12 misses AC 12 FlSq1-15 misses AC 17 FlSq1-16 misses AC 6
The others of the squad try to shoot their slings at the pirate but only one is able to hit. FlSq1-6 misses AC 6 FlSq1-11 misses AC 16 FlSq1-14 misses AC 13 FlSq1-17 hits AC 21 (threat), not confirmed AC 7, 1 damage FlSq1-18 misses AC 3 FlSq1-19 misses AC 6
The fey-orcs in Squad 1 give up the ladder and move to use the ladder set up by Squad 2. A flickering shadow passes over the three squad members and their sergeant as they move over. The leader L1 decides to tackle the more pressing problem of Appolo and moves in that direction.
Fey-orc Squad 2 keep bracing the ladder.
The fey-kobolds in Flyer Squad 2 continue to move up onto the wall. The topmost one of the ladder is felled by Xenia's chain. The next fey-kobold makes it to the top of the ladder and steps onto the wall, eluding an attack from the snake. It moves out of the snake's reach and fires it's sling at the snake. The bullet hits the snake for some slight damage. FlSq2-3 hits AC 16, 2 damage
The third (and final) fey-kobold on the ladder makes it to the top of the wall. It turns and fires its sling at Xenia but misses widely. FlSq2-2 misses AC 6
The final member of the squad on the ground and the Leader L2 fire their slings at Xenia rather than approach her furious chain. FlSq2-8 misses AC 8 L2 misses AC 18
The fey-orcs in Squad 3 keep attacking their targets. Fey-orcs 3-1 and 3-2 attack the devil on the ground, missing the summoned monster. The third fey-orc on the ground steps in to attack the devil, almost sliding the falchion through a weak point in its armor. Their companion on top of the wall keeps chopping at the snake, hitting and damaging it. Sq3-1 misses AC 8 Sq3-2 misses AC 8 Sq3-3 hits AC 22 (threat), not confirmed AC 15, 9 damage Sq3-10 hits AC 19, 8 damage
Flyer Squad 3 keep firing at Garrett, although one of their number drops from the wound inflicted by the devil's glaive. All three miss the Protector. FlSq3-8 misses AC 15 FlSq3-9 misses AC 18 FlSq3-10 misses AC 18
The fey-orcs in Squad 8 pursue Garrett across the field. None manage to get past the armor of the Protector, although one comes close. Sq8-1 misses AC 10 Sq8-2 misses AC 16 Sq8-3 misses AC 15 Sq8-4 misses AC 15 Sq8-5 misses AC 24
Flyer Squad 4 keeps wavering, apparently fighting the desire to flee the battlefield.

I meant W105. Oh well. It works.
A moment to look out over the decimated ranks of the Fey army. They sure don't give up. The dark girl wonders what happened to the second wave that Alemi had mentioned. From her place on high, she peers out in the direction of the distant woods.
Then she slings the tip of her weapon at the Flappy standing on the wall. The swing goes wide, but she uses the momentum to propel herself up, over the snake, and into a darkness within which she curves back around to hover over the sling wielding Flappers.
Gonna get you. Just you try your little rock throwing ways now, you.

"A wand of fire ball would be still handy, why not use it against those..." replies Toros to the student, showing her the fey-kobolds on the 94-99 HL in front of the East Tower. "You do not need to be close to me for doing that as well" the taur mutters back, then.
Then the Taur directs his wand this time to hit the fey-orc 3-0. (Again, sorry for a 5d20 by mistake, and 19 hp damage to the target.) Then the taur pulls another scroll.
OOC: With Oni's Mage Armor spell, should not the AC of the snake become higher enough to deflect some of the attacks in this and previous round?
Toros - OOC Tuesday February 7th, 2006 1:53:39 AM
Sorry Toros's both hands are full, so he can not pull a scroll. Rather, he puts back his magic missile wand again to empty his hand.

Garrett decides that the best way to get over to the other two ladders without taking squad8 with him would be to turn them. Garrett uses his final turning attempt of the day on squad8. Turning check: 7 (can turn upto an 8 hd creature) Turning Damage: 22 hd worth of fey are turned
Assuming Garrett turns most of them, he will then move 20' towards the ladder.

Oni watches the battle from where he stands. At first he was sure they would be overun, but it seems they have a fighting chance now. Looking to his left he can see nothing but his snake. Sure hope Appollo is doing ok, but he has several students with him. Looking across the field of battle, he sees his devils having a hard time of it. Then his sight lands on Garrett. Lots of threm buggers on him. Then the monstrous form of Toros is in his vision.
"Sir Toros, maybe we should move to the right and help out Sir Garrett?"
OOC Ya the mage armor should have made his ar go to 18, good catch Toros.

She hides and gets into position to deal with the fey-kobolds that are on the wall.
Toros suggests that the student eliminate some of the fey-kobolds near the west tower. Then he activates a wand and kills the fey-orc that has been pestering Oni's snake.
Garrett again calls upon whatever power is answering his prayers to repel or destroy the fey-creatures. He channels a huge amount of power and destroys nearly all of the creatures remaining in front of the wall. The Protector moves towards the ladder even though there is no longer any fey-creatures to mount it.
Appolo continues to cut down one of the fey-kobolds that surround him. He manages to cut down one of the creatures.
Oni directs a question to Toros, then realizes that Garrett needs no help in disposing of the fey-orcs.
The first devil runs towards the remaining fey-creatures in front of the wall and swings at the remaining Sergeant S1. Babu hits the fey-orc but cannot get past it's tough hide. Devil1 hits AC 21, 6 damage
The snake slithers forward 5' and snaps its head towards one of the fey-kobolds. The strike is very accurate and the fey-kobold crumples. Snake hits AC 33, 12 damage
The second devil also charges towards the fey-creatures, hitting the same fey-orc Sergeant S1. It's claw cannot defeat the fey-orc's hide. Devil2 hits AC 23, 6 damage
The student carefully makes his way to the wall. He points his wand at the group of fey-kobolds in front of the west tower and speaks the command phrase. A small ball of fire streaks towards the group and explodes into a Fireball.
========================================
The fey-kobolds hear the *whoosh* of the Fireball and realize that it's safer to remain here attacking Appolo. All of them jab at the rogue with their spears but cannot hit him. FlSq1-7 misses AC 18 FlSq1-10 misses AC 5 FlSq1-12 misses AC 4 FlSq1-15 misses AC 8 FlSq1-16 misses AC 10
The fey-orc leader L1 steps closer and attacks Appolo. The leader's scimitar bites deeply into the pirate's side, hurting him badly. L1 hits AC 29 (threat), confirmed AC 23, 17 damage
The fey-orc Sergeant S1 attacks the nearest devil, hitting it and managing to get past it's damage reduction. S1 hits AC 22, 7 damage
The two fey-kobolds step away from the devils and fire their slings but neither can hit Oni's summoned servants. FlSq2-8 misses AC 10 L2 misses AC 15
Atop the wall, the fey-kobolds step back from the snake and prepare to fire their slings. Xenia's chain misses the first one and it manages to fire it's sling but it misses the snake. The second one is also missed by Xenia and it manages to get a good shot in. The final one steps forward and jabs at the snake with it's spear. FlSq2-13 misses AC 9 FlSq2-15 misses AC 25 (threat), not confirmed AC 12, 3 damage FlSq2-2 misses AC 17

Toros replies back to where the sound of Oni comes from, "What about firing this catapult one last time?" "Lets not allow them to escape," the Taur comments, showing the retreating feykobolds on the East (fey-kobold flyera 4), this time addressing not only Oni but also the student with the fire ball wand. Finally Toros asks "does anyone need healing?"
While waiting for response, Toros heals himself for 13 hps with his wand, and pulls a scroll with his empty hand.

Garrett yells up toward Oni and Toros on the wall. "Can you see if any of the other sides need help? we are almost done with our opponents, and could reinforce someone else."
Garrett takes a move and a move toward the west, in the direction of Appolo.

Xenia shifts five feet to bring herself up and behind the brave, but none too smart, little Flappy who has taken it into his head to attack the giant snake with a spear. The whipping chain encircles the little Kobold's neck, and one jerk from Xenia tears the spiked links through its jugular and windpipe.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!!!" The rogue whips the chain around to the other side. It whistles through the air, missing the Kobold on the other side. "RUN YOU DUMMIES!" the dark rogue shouts. "RUN OR BE SNAKE FOOD!!!"
From the corner of her eye, and with a fragment of her mind, she notes the empty battlefield. They've won. All except for the cleanup. But there's a bunch of noise coming from 'round the other side of the tower. Wonder what's going on there?

Hearing Garrett mention helping the other walls Syr tells the students with him, "Abel, stay here and keep watch. I'll take the rest of them to the other walls." He then leads the other two students to reinforce the adjacent wall.

He also offers to heal the others before using the wand on himself.
Appolo turns on the fey-orc that sliced him open last round and delivers a flurry of blows that leaves the creature a smoking, blackened ruin.
Garrett moves over towards Appolo and the remaining ladders.
Xenia kills the fey-kobold that dared to attack Oni's snake and then turns on the other fey-creature. She cannot hit that fey-kobold, though.
Oni asks Toros whether they should assist the others or prepare for another assault.
His first summoned devil continues to attack the fey-orc Sergeant S1, but misses. Devil 1 misses AC 15
The second devil attacks the same fey-orc. It's claws hit the fey-orc but cannot get past its thick hide. Devil 2 misses AC 15, hits AC 23, 5 damage
The snake is satisfied with removing any threats to his master.
Syr and the students open the trapdoor and find that the ladder has been removed. That's probably what the fey-orc was doing down there.
The student triggers his wand again and sends a fireball off towards the fleeing Flyer Squad 4.
========================================
The fey-kobolds around Appolo falter and all of them withdraw away from Appolo.
The fey-kobolds on top of the wall also try to run away. Both of them manage to elude the rogue's swings of her chain and launch themselves from the wall.
The fey-orc Sergeant S1 swings it's scimitar at the nearest fey-orc (ed. this should be devil - JohnP) and cuts deeply. Then it steps back from the two devils. S1 hits AC 22, 10 damage
The two fey-kobolds fire their slings at the devil and then retreat. FlSq2-8 hits AC 21, 1 damage L2 misses AC 9

The party can now see and hear some magical explosions at the treeline. If there was a second wave, it appears that some reinforcements are dealing with it.

Oni walks over and encats a few words to his summoned snake. He watches as the snake returns to the form of his staff. Yelling towards his devils, take that last one down, feed and go home. Thank youas always for your , service." Oni smiles inwardly, he would need to call them back to give them some sort of reward, at a later date of course.

Toros heals his boar 8hp, and places back his healing wand. Then he makes his voice heard by everyone, as best as he can.
"Dont let them escape! It is better to be cautious for a while, and better to destroy all the ladders. And have you noticed the magical explosions on the threeline, and also did you see that last one has attacked his own man!? What is going on??"
Then Toros turns to see the other walls of the castle to see how everything is on the other sides...
Appollo Thursday February 9th, 2006 3:37:32 AM
Appolo looks at the enemey as they flee and then turns and heads toward Garret.Sprinting over to the cleric"Let them go.Very nice job and looks like our reinforcements have arrived at least I hope so.In any case let's get back up on the wall and rest a bit then reload those catapults.just in case."He breathing is heavey and he is bleeding from his left side.Appolo moves quickly to the ladders and yells"Ley them go stay on the wall Garret and i are coming up."It is clear that he is hurt,but also that he is used to it.

Holding the students, he pauses to examine the treeline carefully for new threats. Seeing none, he pulls out a rope and ties it around one of the battlements for the students to slide down.

If you want to start assessing the wounded in order of priority, I'll be there in just a moment to lend some spells."

"Woo-AHHH!!!" The dark rogue spins in a tight victory circle. Then with a feral grin, she jets down from on high, charging straight at the leader of the retreating Flappy. The chain swings in a terrible arc, whooshing over the fortunate kobold's head.
Keep it whirring. The rogue tightens down the circle of the spinning disk of chain. Her eyes flick from one ground bound opponent to the next, just waiting for an opening.

The first devil steps forward 5' and swings its glaive. Despite the solid hit, the glaive cannot get past the creature's tough hide. The second swing goes wide. Then it turns and salutes Oni before disappearing in a little cloud of smoke.
The second devil manages to hit the fey-orc Sergeant very well but it's claws cannot find purchase on its hide.
Toros heals his summoned creature and encourages the others to prevent any escapes. When he turns and looks at the other walls, it appears that they have also beaten back the assaults.
Appolo declares that the party should regroup rather than pursuing the fey-creatures. He moves towards the ladders in order to get back onto the wall.
Syr rigs a rope to allow himself and the students to descend from the top of the tower.
Garrett moves to attack the fey-orc Sergeant S1 and manages to inflict a wound.
Xenia pursues the fleeing fey-kobolds across the field, swinging her chain at the Leader L2.
After seeing Garrett and Xenia pursue the creatures, Appolo agrees that the fey-creatures should be driven off.
The student unleashes another Fireball at the fleeing fey-kobolds from Flyer Squad 4. There are no survivors from that group.
========================================
The fey-kobolds from Flyer Squad 1 flee further and the remnants of Flyer Squad 2 join up with them. Xenia manages to hit one of them as they flee. Fey-kobold Leader L2 ducks under the rogue's chain.
Fey-orc Sergeant S1 runs away from Garrett and the devil. Garrett hits the back of the fleeing creature but does not drop it.
========================================
In the distance, more explosions of light occur. From one side of the field, the party can see a group of elves mounted on unicorns sweep across the field.
Xenia and Garrett pursue the creatures a little longer and the student sends another Fireball arcing over their heads. Suddenly, there are no longer any opponents on the field.

Toros Thursday February 9th, 2006 11:48:55 PM
"All the other walls seem to be all right!!" Toros lets the others know what he has seen. However, he cannot help, but feel like being cautious still. This victory was not so easy but also was not so hard either. Then he moves to check the East Wall, seeing that the ladder was not in its place. He will try to place it into its original position.

Airwalk: 90 Minutes; able to walk/climb on air. Shield of Faith: 63 rounds remaining; +3 Deflection bonus. Aid:(from Toros)+11hp, +1 att/saves, 9 rounds remaining.
Garrett moves quickly back up to the wall and inside the compund using airwalk as his stairs. He will then tend to as many of the wounded as he can get to, starting with those most seriously hurt. He will use his remaining spells for the day first(there aren't too many), and then go to the wand. Since Appolo is one of the first people he will see, he will be the first recipient, using Garretts remaining 3rd level spell for 26hp of healing.
Xenia (HP49/55) Friday February 10th, 2006 12:34:44 PM
The whirling disc over the dark bandana that caps Xenia's long red hair, spins down, laxing into a lose and lazy turn of linked chain. The small grrr at the back of her throat dies away as well. The field is empty.
With a near angry turn, the dark rogue spins about and jets back up to the battlements, alighting behind the crenulations. Leaning into one of the slots on gloved hands, she looks out over the field littered with the bodies of dead orcs and kobolds.
A harsh liquid sound comes muffled over the wall, as Xenia vomits the contents of her stomach to the ground below. Her arms begin to tremble.

Syr Friday February 10th, 2006 4:17:16 PM
Leading the students to the center of the wall, he pauses at the catapult. "Just in case, let's reload this. It wouldn't do to have any surprises."
Smiling at their apparent victory, he searches for the status of the other three walls across the fortress.

Oni shouts at the remaining devil, "Thank you for coming, you may leave when you like." Not wanting to allow his invisibility to drop just yet, he stays that way.
The Calm after the Storm (DM JohnP) Saturday February 11th, 2006 2:21:06 PM
The party stands about, either on or before the wall. All around are the bodies of the fallen fey-creatures. Some are horribly burned, others are bleeding from wounds. The ones felled by Garrett's invoking of divine power look almost peaceful, as if they were simply sleeping. Unlike the others, the ones that fell due to Garrett's turning have lost most or all of their fey features.
Syr and the students atop the east tower slide down the rope and move across the wall. The students in the west tower remain up top while the newly arrived student lights a torch and begins the process of removing the webbing that chokes the lower floor.
After the party has had some time to collect themselves, they see a group of people approaching from both the east and west walls. As they near, the party recognizes Domi and Alemi accompanied by students.
Alemi calls up to the party, "Thank the Gods! You've turned back the assault tonight."
Domi asks, "Were any of you injured? Did all of you survive the fighting?"
Appolo Sunday February 12th, 2006 7:42:17 PM
Appololooks at Garret as he is healed and imeidately feels much better"Thanks my firend."He then surveys the area,No enemies in sight just Xenia puking.Looking around he doesn't see Oni"Oni my friend you can come out now.The battle's over.Everyone good jod very good job!!"He says in loud voice.
When Alemi and Domi come up,he steps forward"No no ones injured,just exhuasted.I've been in tougher scapes then thet before.Kept especting giants or something to show up."
Syr Sunday February 12th, 2006 8:51:33 PM
Syr nods a humble greeting at Domi and smiles slightly at the soon-to-be God's concern. "No worries here. Are we expecting more soon?"
Garrett Monday February 13th, 2006 8:17:02 AM
Garrett continues to tend the injured as best he can. If he crosses Alemi's path, he will mention to him "We will all need to meet with you and Domi to discuss what has transpired, after the more pressing concerns have been handled."
Once things have calmed down, Garrett will return to his room to meditate and pray. The main thing on his mind would be to ponder on the infinite possibilities of who is granting his spells. Garrett will believe that Domi is with him, and working through him, even now in the past. After all, he is a god in our time. Just because he wasn't in this time, does not mean that his power does not extend throughout time as a god.
Garrett will however, spend as much time as he can watching and being near Domi, without making himself annoying.
Xenia (HP49/55) Monday February 13th, 2006 10:22:05 AM
"Huh? Injured No. I'm okay. I guess."
Sitting atop one of the crenellations that front the battlement, Xenia continues to stare out onto the field of carnage. In one hand is a waterskin, and between deliberate and measured breathes, she forces herself to drink.
"Hey, what's everyone else think about this, huh? You know, 'bout how this is all weirdness? I mean, look at those guys." With a sweep of her gloved hand, she indicates the field of bodies. "Kobolds with wings. And look at those orcs. Orcs with horns. That's messed. That's not right."
She takes another drink.
"They look more like, you know, like animals or sump'in."
Another drink. Animals. Ebyron.
"You know guys, it's gotta be Ebyron behind all this. Remember the picture? Of the critters changing?"
"Only question is, what are we gonna do about it? Is there anything we can do?"

Toros Monday February 13th, 2006 12:07:34 PM
Remaining as the only living "monster" in the battlefield, Toros silently retreats into a corner, wondering what will happen next and how they will be able to go home. Domi and Alemi is not much of his concern now; as Xenia says, what is important is Ebryon...
Memorial Services (DM JohnP) Monday February 13th, 2006 9:16:17 PM
Alemi and Domi look up at the party on the wall, seeming to appraise each of them. Alemi waits for a moment before speaking.
"It's good that all of you survived. I'm assuming that the students are all well, too? Not all of us can say the same, unfortunately."
He turns and confers quietly with Domi. Domi moves off towards the west tower while Alemi speaks to the party again.
"Please, come with us to the main hall for a brief service for those who fell. It will commence in about five minutes."
Meanwhile, Domi calls up to the students on the west tower. After conversing with them, he returns. "The students will stay and keep watch. It will be some time before they can come down, anyway." He has a slight smile on his face as he says this.
The first monk continues, "No, that should be it for tonight. We held them off long enough for the elves to assist us."
Alemi shrugs and looks to the party. "I know that you have many questions. Please, let them wait until we have had a chance for this service." He is about to leave and then turns back.
"Do you wish to include your companion Uriel in the service? While he did not fall in the battle tonight, he did die defending you from .... ahh, from what you say ... servants of Gargul. You would be welcome if you feel that it would be appropriate."
After Domi and Alemi leave, the party has a chance to discuss events before going to the service.
Oni Borzzone AC 19 38/47 hp(mage armor 9 hours, Tongues 3hours, I Tuesday February 14th, 2006 12:26:25 AM
Oni waves his hand and becomes visible again. Walking with his staff he follows the man to where the ceremony will take place. When he arrives, he remmebers his new comrades, and looks back to see if they were coming. He chastises himself, not used to travelling with others.
Garrett Tuesday February 14th, 2006 8:01:06 AM
Garrett gladly accepts their offer to join in the services, and thinks it would be wonderful for Uriel to be included. "I think Uriel would be honored. I shall go and retrieve his remains."
Garrett moves off to retrieve Uriels body, surveying the damage to Oshirr House as he goes.
Garrett would have already healed the party members at this point should any be wounded. He should have enough 1st and 2nd level spells to complete the job.
Toros Tuesday February 14th, 2006 8:45:10 AM
Toros sends his Boar back to his bag, and then joins his comrades to see if he could be of some help.
Xenia (HP49/55) Tuesday February 14th, 2006 10:12:21 AM
For the first time since the end of the battle a smile tips up the ends of Xenia's dark lips.
"We did all survive. Didn't we?" Heh. "Even all you student guys. Good job, Bert!" The dark girl flashes a thumbs up to her catapult-mate up in the tower.
"Survived." She gives a small sigh as Garrett goes off to retrieve the body of Uriel. "Yeah. Sure."
The spiked chain is covered in gore. Xenia's eye is drawn to a fleck of ripped flesh on the back of her glove, her damp, blood soaked glove.
"Hey, Syr," she catches up along side her fellow Crimson Shield, "I think ... after this Service, I think I'm gonna try and find my way back. I mean, like, we stopped the Red Cloaks from coming back here and changing things. Right? We even helped save Domi and Alemi at Oshirr House. But, I mean, if we know that Ebyron's causing all this grief here, and we figure he's messing with things back home, then shouldn't home be where we should be? I mean, you know, everything that's happened here has already happened. Right?"
"'Sides ... I miss Wynn." Xenia walks for a while in silence.
"I could sure use a bath, you know, too."

Appolo follows the others to the services.He catches up to Xenia and the rest"I'm sorry Xenia,but I don't think we're done here and we all all could use a bath."
DM JohnP - Apology Wednesday February 15th, 2006 2:35:33 PM
I missed the DM post last night due to it being both Valentine's Day and my 2-year-old being sick. I'll resume posting tonight.
Syr Wednesday February 15th, 2006 4:41:59 PM
The elf nods at Xenia, "I miss Wynn too, although NOT in the same way." He grins at the rogue, "I can agree with the bath. Ya know, I don't think I've ever seen you be so effective with a weapon, you should do that more often." He nods to the spiked chain. Joining the others for the service, he pays his respects to those that have fallen.
In Memento Mori (DM JohnP) Wednesday February 15th, 2006 8:55:58 PM Garrett goes off to retrieve Uriel's body and bring it to the main hall. He didn't spend much time with the paladin but he feels that he should do the best that he can for his onetime companion.
The other members of the party banter back and forth as they join the quiet procession of students and teachers into the largest building within the Oshirr House compound. After each member of the party enters the simple hall, they are impressed by the quiet. Glancing around, nearly everyone is in attendance and there is little more sound than the rustling of clothing and the shuffle of feet on the polished floor.
A quiet hush soon falls over the assembled crowd. At one end of the room, six forms wrapped in sheets lie on the floor. The blood staining the white fabric is evidence that each of these people died through violence. The more observant members of the party can pick out Uriel's still body beside the fallen students.
A hush soon falls over the crowd. Looking over the heads of the people in front of them, Domi and Alemi can be seen walking to the front of the room beside the bodies of the fallen defenders of Oshirr House. At a nod from Alemi, Domi steps forward.
"We are gathered to bear witness to the passing of these people who died defending Oshirr House and what all of us believe in. I am sure that all of you know the fallen, but let me speak of them.
"Miriam was not the fastest, nor the strongest nor even the most determined. But she was stolid, dependable and finally gave her life to protect her companions."
"Ulfgar was friend to many of you. He perhaps journeyed the farthest of any of you in his search to overcome the blood feuds and rages of his people. He fell today blocking the advance of a fey ogre, using the rage of his fathers to accomplish that."
"Beneditti was newly arrived but was already a member of our community. His wit and charm was known to all."
"Cain was among the first who sought out our master. He labored long and hard to establish this place and tonight fell defending it."
"Zacharias was small of stature but gifted in many other ways. His love for learning was an inspiration for any who studied with him. I know that many of you attended classes with him."
The primal monk stops and several students can be heard crying in the sudden silence.
"The final defender was not known to any of you. He came with some companions who assisted in the defense tonight, bearing messages of great portent. He died earlier today in battle with other servants of Gargul. It is fitting and proper that he lie here with our fellows."
"Alemi will now conduct the service."
Domi steps aside and Alemi comes to stand before the students and teachers of Oshirr House.
"Domi has spoken of those who fell. Each of us will mourn them in our own way. I ask of you that you keep the larger purpose in mind. We will have a larger, more fitting service when the danger is past."
Alemi then begins a religious service. The names of the deities invoked are foreign to every member of the party, even to Garrett. Alemi finishes with an invocation.
"Gods above and below, within and without, hear our requests and fairly judge those who fell tonight. In the names of all deities, we request this. Everyone, go in peace and remembrance."
As people gradually file out, Alemi and Domi will approach the party. Alemi extends his hands to them.
"Again, thank you for the defense of the north wall. If you wish, students are preparing some food for those who are hungry in the next hall. I will summon you in the morning and we can discuss what has occurred."

Oni staysat the burial site, or the funeral site. So many died fighting what they believed in. Sad this life.
Garrett Thursday February 16th, 2006 8:30:27 AM
"It was our pleasure to be of help. Is there a good spot that we may all clean up before eating and sleep? I think the morning would be an excellent time to discuss things. That, and it would give myself and my friends a chance to talk amongst ourselves."
Garrett waits for the direction to be given, and then goes to get cleaned up, followed by a bite to eat, and then a return to our rooms.
Assuming everyone goes back to the rooms, Garrett thinks we should take this opportunity to discuss what has occurred amongst ourselves.
"I guess I'll start. Excellent battle guys. Taking out that many foes without a single casualty on our side was most impressive. I'll fight alongside any of you any time."
"But i think it also showed us why we are here. Eberyon is turning Gargalus's monsters into fey. He's making them even more powerful and tougher to kill. We will have to stop him. If we have to stop him, then we will likely have to kill him, which would end his threat in the future."
"If like Alemi and Domi, Eberyon is not yet a god, then maybe this our chance. If you can't kill a god, i guess you go back in time and take him out before he becomes a god. Just my thoughts on the possibilities."
Xenia Thursday February 16th, 2006 12:04:20 PM
Xenia mutters a reply to Syrdeth. Something about it being due to Garrett's spell. That, and being able to 'hide real good.'
At the Service, her silence continues. When thanks are conferred upon them by the once and future god, the rogue drops her eyes to the ground, and dips in a quick and shallow curtsey.
As the gathering breaks apart, she wanders off alone. To find water. To let free her cascade of fire-red hair. Water washes her slim dark body. It cleans the blood from her hands. Blood wrings from her clothing to soak the ground of Oshirr House.
++++++++++++++++
"But, Garrett," Xenia counters later on in the discussion after food and rest bring a greater sense of relaxation, "if what we got in the future has already happened, what you wanna go changing it for? I mean, we're here trying to keep quiet about Domi and Alemi being gods cause we don't wanna mess anything up. Right? So why do you wanna mess with other stuff for?"
"Sounds real good attacking Ebyron here so that he won't make trouble for us in the future. But if we do, what other stuff will that change in the future? Maybe that won't just effect all the things he does after he wakes up. Maybe it affects lots of other stuff in between. What if all the Fey and Nature stuff dies off? Who knows what that could do. Maybe we go back and the place is overrun by undead. What if taking out Ebyron takes away the reason for Alemi and the Golden Dragons to go after the old gods and the New Gods never become gods at all?"
Syr Thursday February 16th, 2006 3:17:18 PM
Looking around to make sure that none of this time are present he whispers to the party, "Hmmm maybe I'm missing something but in OUR time, Ebyron is 'asleep'. I thought I heard that the 'Fey King has awoken?' If we are the ones to dictate the future, wouldn't we just bind him somewhere?" The elf has a pined expression on his face, trying to figure things out.
Oni Borzzone Thursday February 16th, 2006 6:15:46 PM
Following the rest of the party he cleans and washes the battle away. After eating some, he listens to those around him.
"I was hoping one of you would know wht we are hear. Since I was late in joining all of you, well, I just expected you to know. Somehow, i couldnt make the right decisions in that temple." He shakes his head in frustration. "Now as you have seen i have the ability to call others from the other planes to help in fighting. I have studied much on the subject. They are often governed by many different things than we are.
"Which brings met to the point. In this time, in this place, we need to know all we can about the inhabitants here. Also, Alemi, spoke of the elves helping us. Since elves are known for their longevity in years, I think it vastly important to talk to them as well. Mostly though, we need to froget what we know in our own present. We have learned the tales of histories, and legends from the people who survived the years from now until our lifetime. What i mean to say, is how much knowledge has been lost because someone may have died, or been on the losing side of a battle?
"Decision making, like what we are faced with now, has consequences that are so farreaching, we could not even fathom. Careful we must be."
Garrett Friday February 17th, 2006 8:47:36 AM
"You are all right. But how can we do nothing. By helping in the battle that just took place, we may have already changed much of the future. People may have lived that should have died. Alemi and Domi may have had to do something different or new or desperate should the battle have been much closer."
"For that matter, how do we know we haven't done this before in time. Perhaps we are in a big circle in time, constantly going back and changing things that set the future as it is. Perhaps our wold is as it is because of what we do back here. Perhaps if not for us, Oshirr house would have fallen this night, and Domi and Alemi died, never to take their place in our future."
"We don't know enough about the why and how to make proper decisions. But someone or something does. My spells are being granted. If Domi is not yet a god, can he grant them to me? Can he bestow my spells and hear my prayers from the future, or is some other deity doing it? If so, why? I will meditate and pray upon these things tonight, and I will pray for some divination spells in the morning perhaps asking a few good questions would go a long way. It would be a good idea for each of us to try and think of good yes or no questions that might help steer our course of action."
"Aside from that, hopefully Alemi will have some good advice or insight, or perhaps even the elves, should we speak to them."
Appolo Friday February 17th, 2006 2:47:04 PM
Appolo goes to the service remains quiet.He then follows the others back to thier quarters.He listens a bit"Guys don't sweat it.Whatever will be will be.Your thinking to much about this.We are here to put a beat down on this Fey King guy.Obviosly this is what we are supposed to be doing.Just keep our mouths shut about the future.That's all.Now let's get cleaned up,something to eat then some sleep."
Oni Borzzone Friday February 17th, 2006 7:09:17 PM
"With all due respect to your authority and ability to lead in combat, Appolo, we are only discussing options. I do not like being told to shut up, when i have been asked my opinion." The elf raises his eyebrow at Appolo as he says this.
Xenia Saturday February 18th, 2006 7:49:35 PM
"Don't mind him," Xenia's says quietly to Oni the Magic Guy. Her green eyes are off somewhere else though. Thinking things. "He didn't mean nothing by that." Her apology for what is most likely no more than a misunderstanding drifts out on the breeze of her distraction. Her mind is somewhere else entirely. "Some guys, they're just better with action than with words, you know."
She drifts off into silence for a moment. And when she returns, it is along a completely different path.
"I think that would be a good idea, Garrett. I mean the Divination thing. Be nice to hear from someone who's got an idea of what they got here. Haven't heard from anyone like that since that Ussel, Priest of Gargul guy."
The Day After (DM JohnP) Sunday February 19th, 2006 2:31:22 PM DM Apology - the stomach virus returned with a vengeance on Thursday evening. I wasn't able to spend enough time at the computer to post on Thursday and too wiped on Friday or Saturday to get a post in.
The next morning dawns cool and fresh. Each member of the party awakens to the sound of a bell ringing from the cookhouse where they were served meal after the battle.
The battle ... each person remembers what happened the night before. The masses of fey-touched kobolds and orcs compelled to attack the Oshirr House. Futilely, it turns out but there were times when the battle was in real doubt.
Before they had turned in the previous night, everyone discusses temporal causality. It's bad enough that they are expected to sit down over a meal with the future Gods of the Wold, Alemi and Domi, but Gargul is obviously active too. And instead of being asleep, Eberyon seems to be active. Maybe their questions will be answered during the meal that Alemi and Domi have invited them too.
Everyone make their morning preparations. For Garrett, Toros and Oni that includes preparing their day's spell allotments. Everyone else bathes, prepares their gear, or whatever starts their day.
In a very short time, there is a polite knock at the door. When someone opens it, a student stands there. His tunic is the same white as everyone else wore, no different than the day before, but now he has a bandage wrapped around one hand.
"Masters Alemi and Domi ask you to break fast with them. Are you prepared to join them?"
The student waits for the party and then leads them to Alemi's cottage. Nodding to the two students guarding the door, he taps politely. When Alemi opens the door, the future God dismisses both the guards and the guide.
"Come in, come in. I have a simple meal prepared, please seat yourself and eat. We don't stand on ceremony here."
Domi is already in the room, seated at a table. When the party enters, he stands and moves over to a serving table where several covered dishes wait. The smells of freshly baked muffins, cereal and other foods rush out when he removes the covers.
"Sit and eat," Alemi continues. Looking to Toros, he continues, "I apologize sir, we have never had one of your kind here before. In fact, in this day and time, your kind are not civilized at all and are dangers to all and sundry. I apologize for I do not believe that all the food here will be to your liking."
When the first party member moves to the serving table, they cannot see any meat or eggs there. Apparently Alemi has already started to be concerned for all life.
After everyone has had a chance to eat, Alemi will address them.
"Thank you again for your assistance last night. Gargalus has been sending his minions to attack us repeatedly for the last several nights. Perhaps, with last night's effort, we might have some respite."
"You were sent back here to investigate the parchment. The story is long, complex and ... since you are here ... likely to be very significant. The struggle involves not just ourselves here at Oshirr House, but Gargalus, Eberyon and Maab."
The future god looks around at the party. Seeing their expressions, he elaborates.
"You thought that some of those names were myth? Or you did not realize that we are contemporaries? Well, I will admit, Eberyon and Maab are far, far older than Gargalus and I but we're all here together."
"I can give directions to any of the others, if you wish to investigate there. Or, you could even start here, with what I know and believe."
DM Addendum - Garrett, if you choose to use your divination spells, please inform me in your post and I will provide the results.
Garrett Monday February 20th, 2006 7:53:51 AM
(I would like to use my divinations after speaking with Alemi, he may be able to provide insight to help steer my questions in the right direction.)
Garrett sits and eats with Alemi and Domi, and listens as Alemi begins the discussions. "I think it would be best to start with what you know and believe. Your insight into what is happening may be invaluable."
"In our time, we assembled because Eberyon had awoken from a very long slumber. In doing so, he more or less set nature to run amok. Much damage was and is being done to the Wold, and many were and possibly are being killed. We began looking for clues to learn more of Eberyon and ways to stop what he was doing. That led us to the parchment, and brought us here. From last nights battle, it is obvious that Eberyon is, shall we say, enhancing Gargalus' troops. But why? any insight you can give into this and anything else could be most useful."
"To be honest, we are not exactly sure of what we need to do, or how we need to do it. We just know that something needs to be done. We were sent to this time for a reason, we just do not know what it is yet."

Appolo awakes bath,dresses and jions the others for breakfast.He takes a seat and looks at the fruit.Looking around"Ah could I possibly get some steak and eggs.Man I'm hungry."
He then sits quietly listening to Garrett"Yes.We are here to find out how to kill this Fet King."he adds witha rather cheerful smile.
Xenia Monday February 20th, 2006 11:15:20 AM Mmmmm ... Muffins!
"Um, I don't think they eat meat here, 'Ppolo," Xenia whispers as her eyes rove the basket of muffins for ones with berries baked into them. She takes one. Then she takes two more and adds some breakfast fruit on the side.
The rogue nibbles at her meal in silence, listening to Garrett as he lays their side of things down for the two future god guys. While she listens, Xenia takes a bit of her drink and spills it out on the table. Pulling a glove off with her teeth, she begins to diagram things out on the table with the tip of a dark finger.
In the spill of drink, she draws out an A and a D for Alemi and Domi. Then, above that, she draws a G for Gargulus. From Gargulus, she draws arrows pointing toward Alemi and Domi, showing Gargulus attacking Alemi and Domi. That's pretty clear. And that's stuff they already knew before they left their own time.
Then, up in the corner, she draws an E and an M for Ebyron and Maab. From Ebyron to Gargulus, she draws an arrow with one head at each end, to show Ebyron and Gargulus working together. That's pretty clear too, from the parchment, and from everything they've seen since they've been here.
Next to the M for Maab, the rogue draws a question mark.
"Hey, er ... Alemi," still not used to talking to gods like regular they're guys, "since you know these guys, like, um, personal and all, what's this Maab like? Maab's a woman, right?"
"I mean, the way I see it, you got you and Domi here, and you're just trying to defend yourselves and go on living. Right? And you got Gargulus, who doesn't like that for some reason and he's attacking you. He's conspiritorizing with Ebyron to get this done by making creatures that can beat you. I mean, whatever the reason they're attacking and all, I think they're pretty set on what they're doing. It's gonna be hard to change their minds short of killing them, if you know what I mean."
"But Maab, we don't know nothing about yet. And she's a woman. Women got sense. Maybe we can talk to her. Maybe we can get her to help us out. Tell us about her. What's she like?"

Oni listens to the conversations. He intently watches and listens when Xenia is talking, she intrigues him. He raises an eyebrow at the comment that women have sense. But otherwise keeps to himself.
