"You maybe right Xel'Aw, we'll see what we could do, also I think our rescuers are over there at which point he indicates the direction of the others, and then attempts to attack the two halflings that attacked him with his Orc Double Axe.

There is some back and forth over what to do next, but Haemir is unable to drop the mist as quickly as expected. He misses a halfling by a whisker with his trident. Bigby manages to get one blow in on the same creature, but the mists hide it from another attack, so it is still alive, if crying pitifully. 'Lil is unable to charge due to the mists blocking her sight when she begins to move, but still manages to hammer the rightmost halfling, who stubbornly refuses to surrender and is cut down the rest of the way by Caelwyn's spear for resisting. Sol wisely moves to cover behind the tent to the right. They are missed by a few halfling sling bullets that had been readied to strike when the party emerged from the mist.

The halflings near the gate do not seem to have noticed Sol sneaking around to the east. But several more cluster up near ‘Lil, and the regrettably large (for a halfling) Ashurbanipal steps up to Caelwyn literally frothing with rage. His first mighty spear strike slams home, doing 10 points of damage to Caelwyn, but the second strike blessedly misses, thank Domi! The others seem to be watching and waiting.

Over near the cage, Xel'Aw puts a bolt into the halfing near Fand, wounding it, and its opportunity to swing created by the close proximity misses. Grindar lays waste to one of the two halflings who challenged him.

More halflings move up weakly, and attack Grindar even more weakly. They seem to have doubts about this whole endeavor, and one looks like he vomited on himself recently. Ewww. The other lashes out at Xel'Aw, but is similarly pathetic. If they weren't trying to kill you, it would almost be sad.

Fand flies directly south to claw at the the halfling (J16) - (+2 charging - Claw:14 doing 4 dmg).

Meanwhile Haemir ignores the whimpering halfling and moves towards the tent (moving to C17 diagonal up D18 & then to E18) from there his eyes flash blue and Ashurbanipal is buffeted by winds and rain (ranged touch attack:12 for 3 dmg & target takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls for 1 round).

'Lil's so ready to pound Ramona into a nearby halfling that she forgets to actually aim (nat 1).

She does take a 5' step to the right so the tent is flanking her. She doesn't want to get surrounded.

Grindar, feeling a sensation which he could only describe as elation, brought on by the heat of the battle, he lets out a loud whoop, and then presses his attack. If the first attack drops one of the halflings, he will use his off hand on another.

Xel'Aw finishes reloading the crossbow and drops it, using his quarterstaff to smack the creature nearest him, but it is obvious he is no fighter and the blow is easily dodged (5-1=4 to hit) even by the sick and Fand-distracted halfling.

He will pick up the bow again when they're ready to move to the main fray, but for now, he takes a couple swipes as he can, hoping to distract the captors until Grindar can do the real work.

Grindar continues to mow down the halflings like ripe wheat, with two more falling to his deadly blows. Fand flies south to strike another halfling successfully, but not before the halflng he left behind gets in a minor blow (2hp damage to Fand.) Xel‘Aw swats around ineffectually, but at least occupies the attention of some the little fellows.

Sol takes aim and blasts Ashurbanipal with a magic missile, which does get his attention, causing him to bellow in fury. Bigby moves up to heal Caelwyn (7hp) while Wolfgang finally rips out the throat of the halfling on the left in the mist. Haemir unleashes some arcane storminess on Ashurbanipal, which does seem to hamper him a bit. Caelwyn deals Ashurbanipal a mighty blow, for 18hp of damage, which doesn’t seem to faze him much--this guy is tough, maybe too tough for any one of you to take on! ‘Lil stumbles over one of the tent ropes, which spoils her aim, but does manage to avoid being completely surrounded.

Ashurbanipal retaliates by swinging on Caelwn again, hitting only once for 8hp damage. Four halflings hack at 'Lil, but achieve nothing. Others take potshots at Fand, but are laughably off target. A few more take aim at Bigby as he wanders out of the mist, but aim is a relative term and only one hits, for 4hp of damage.

Things seem to be going in your favor, but Ash is looking mighty mighty!

'Lil grunts in frustration. "Oye, make sure someone's helpin' pretty boy over there while I deal with these savages!"

She continues swinging wildly, wondering what the heck is going on with her abilities today.

Xel'Aw takes a step to the second halfling Fand is attacking, presuming he can take more damage than a bird even if he doesn't like the idea of getting hit, he expects Grindar to be able to take out the halflings quickly - but apparently he doesn't learn from the previous attempted strike and goes far too wide again (5-1=4 to hit).

"You're doing great Grindar, your animal friend here could use a hand, I think. Then we should make for the main gate, what say you?"

Caelwyn barely feels the pain in the heat of battle, but knows he is badly wounded. He resolves to do his utmost to kill this foe, and takes another swing with his longsword. Unfortunately, his adversary manages to evade the attack. (Attack role 6...)

Bigby uses his last heal on Caelwyn. 3 hp. "that's the best I can do with heals Caelwyn." Wolfgang will move up Ashurbanipal and take bite at him 9, (think its a miss, but if it hits 5 dmg). Bigby will climb up onto Wolfgang for his move action. "let's focus on taking this big guy down. Maybe the rest will scatter if we do so. It might be bad for their morale."

OCC.. I only have viewing rights to the map

Grindar will try to finish off the Halfling in front of him with the 1st blow, and if successful, will 5ft step to W, 17, and attack the halfling there with his off hand, obviously if his 1st attack is not enough to drop his attacker, he will receive both ends of his ax.

Fand claws and scrapes the same halfling (attacks: miss, 19 & 13 for 3 & 1 dmg). If it's goes down first move she moves up behind the halfling leader (giving Caelwyn flanking). If not she takes her 5' move to J15 (heading towards Ashurbanipal).

Haemir contemplates trying to heal the Paladin but seeing Caelwyn looks fully healed as far as he can tell, he runs towards Ashurbanipal and throws his net at him (ranged touch attack roll:10) entangling him, preparing to step in with his trident... (assuming the attack roll with the net has -4 in to combat?)

Sol watches the chaos unfold, and decides to fling another small ball of acid at Ashurbanipal, hoping to help Caelwyn.

He intones the words of power, and makes the appropriate hand gestures, before thrusting his hand with an open palm, as if signalling "Stop" causing a ball of acid to fly from his hand and it flies off target missing the larger Halfling, causing Sol to mutter under his breath at his bad aim.

Sol hurls a ball of acid into the melee, but misses everyone, friend and foe alike. Haemir is deceived by Caelwyn's stoic mien, and chooses to throw his net at Ash, and it hits, hampering the barbaric creature! Fand cuts down his injured foe and moves up behind Ash. Grindar finishes off two more halfings, racking up a better body count than everyone else all together. gWhofs the savage here?h you might wonder. Bigby clambers up on Wolfgang, who almost manages put put a chomp on the netted halfling. Caelwyn bravely stays in the fight, but swings his sword weakly, even with the flank from Fand. XeleAw tries to hit the remaining halfling near the cage, but cannot match the mighty Grindar. eLil takes another wild swing, and maybe ought to start considering whether Domi is sending her a message of some sort.

Ashurbanipal continues his enraged attacks despite being caught in Haemirfs net, swinging first at Caelwyn and connecting with a sickening thud for 8hp of damage, enough to send Caelwyn to the ground (-3 HP by my count, feel free to double check my math.) He makes his second attack on Fand, by the bird is far too quick for such nonsense. Twof the halfings also move up near Fand, but their dreams of a drumstick apiece are dashed by their clumsiness. Another takes a swipe at Bigby, and misses. Four beleaguer eLil, and one miraculously connects, providing more evidence that Domi must have abandoned her (but only 1hp of damage, so the message isn't too clear.)

Ashurbanipal's blow is so strong it knocks Caelwyn over backwards, where he lies unconscious on the ground. Thankfully his wounds are not bleeding too badly - he manages to stabilize immediately. (Constitution check - 17: +2 from modifiers, -3 from negative HP)

Seeing the Paladin drop Haemir gasps, his initial reaction is to try and heal Caelwyn but he realises stepping in might only earn him a beating as he tries to - and even then his heal may not even effectively bring Caelwyn around. The fight looks to be going in a bad way. Gritting his teeth he steps in (flanking with Fand) and stabs Ashurbanipal (attack:22 - dmg:4).

Fand also claws and bites (attacks: 8 (miss), 16 & 19 for 2 & 2 dmg)

Bigby tries to look over to 'Lil to signal with a yell, "Lil" and with his head movement nodding towards Caelwyn and then a nod backward, that for Bigby atleast seemed to signal "Caelwyn is down and heading back to the mist to regroup." Wolgang grabs onto caelwyn and drags him back with a 5 foot step back to attempt to avoid any aoo and then they retreat into the mist. Bigby thinks to himself, "You have to realistic about these things. And that halfling crazy guy is really crazy at staying up when hit hard. We will have to rethink our strategy. If we live through this that is."

'Lil notes with some satisfaction that the two captives are basically home free. Now, they just have to survive this. She takes a 5' step to the SW, putting herself between one of the savages and Haemir, trying to aid in their exit.

As her swing goes wild again, she wonders if Domi really is trying to tell her something.

Sol begins to look unsure of himself... this fight was not going as well as he had hoped, but hearing the command to get back in the mist, and knowing his tactical skills are not as good as others, he heads back into the Mist, but not before flinging his staff using Hands Of the Apprentice to strike at the leader of the Halflings.

He knows it won't do much damage but he feels that a bit of defiance here isn't a bad idea, though even his staff goes wide, before coming back to his hand just as Sol disappears back into the mist.

Things are getting tense! Caelwyn goes down hard, but at least is not bleeding out. Haemir boldly steps into the breach and surprises no one more than himself by delivering a smart rap across the shins to Ash, who howls in pain. Dear Fand rips his earlobes for some more damage, and Ash finally starts to seem like he is feeling some of this pain. Bigby and Wolfgang team up to drag Caelwyn out of harms way (note that I assumed you used the withdraw action, because you can't 5' step and then move again.) 'Lil covers the party's retreat, while reconsidering her life choices. Sol hurls his staff at Ash, missing, but at least it flies back into his hand—he is truly showing some mad magic skills today. Grindar absolutely crushes the last halfling to the north, felling him in one blow. Xel'Aw congratulates the warrior and then moves south to take up a firing position.

Ashurbanipal splutters in rage at the afront of being attacked on two fronts. He seems distracted, though, and his swipe at Haemir goes wide, as does his backswing against Fand. The other halflings start to mob up, however, with three each attacking Fand, 'Lil, and Haemir. Only 'Lil is hit, for a measly 4hp of damage. Two more halflings disappear into the mist, presumably searching around for Caelwyn to eat.

wolfgang and bigby move into sqare c13 to attack the halfline in square d12. two claws from bigby in the mist. both can hit in the mist if they do hit (50 and 36). 13, 16. 3 and 4 if hit. If halfling is still standing, wolfgang will attack same halfling. 22 for hit. damage 3. Wolfgang goes for a trip. 11. probably a miss. 35 roll for attack in mist. That is a hit.

The Elf's eyes flick to the 'sparrow' "Fand get out of there ... " but the frenzying bird ignores him attacking with beak and claw: (attacks: 11, 20 & 9 for dmg: 3, 2 & 3). Haemir realises Fand is too far gone and the adrenaline rush makes it seem like time slows down for him. He sees Lil's brave act as she covers his retreat but he is reluctant to leave her without at least slowing the leader down first. All reasonable sense says run but he digs deep and finds his nerve. With them swarming her and the leader free he fears the big halfling stepping up and dropping the cleric. Almost on queue he winces as he sees Lil take a second wound, this one even more vicious than the last. Knowing Bigby is wounded and that Caelwyn is already down. He realises that she is their best healer and that if anyone should be covering the retreat it's him. Perhaps they can help cover each other...

Backing up to the edge of the rolling mist (5' diagonally to F15) Haemir's eyes flash like lightning and wind and rain swirls around the halfling leader battering him (ranged touch attack:10 for 6 dmg)

"Aaaaaauughghhhh FINE." 'Lil takes off back into the mist, drawing attacks of opportunity as she does so. When she runs into her friends, she channels positive energy, restoring 5 HP to anyone in range.

Sol, still uninjured and feeling like there is not a lot he can add to this fight, curses his lack of arcane knowledge and comes out of the Mist at E17 to flick his staff at Ash again. He has a look of grim determination on his face.

((Sol attacks at 19, but does 0 damage. Darn negative Str Mod))

After his staff flies back to his hand he stands there, with a look of uncertainty as he realises he is now available to be hit by the nearby halflings.

Xel'Aw's voice rings out in a most inspiring verse, and everyone's nerves are steeled while their blows strike hard.

Bigby and Wolfgang move through the mist like deadly ghosts, striking down the nearest halfling before he can make a snack of Caelwyn's tasty bits.

Fand the berserker sparrow continues to rip at Ash's flesh, striking for a small flesh wound. Haemir summons the storm spirits again, to great effect, while calling on 'Lil to retreat and aid the party members in the mist.

Grindar moves closer to the big battle and continues to throw away javelins like they are candy.

'Lil reluctantly but wisely withdraws into the mist, and sends healing energy towards her comrades. The nearby halflings try to stop her withdrawal, but are too weakened by their dwarf-flesh illness to follow through effectively. All party members south of the halflings heal 5hp of damage—as does Ashurbanipal.

Caelwyn snaps into consciousness as the blessed touch of Domi's power courses through him. (Caelwyn is prone with 2hp)

Sol boldly strides OUT of the mist and sends his staff flying toward Ash again, and manages to do a little bit of damage (1hp minimum.)

Ashurbanipal is looking none too good, with the cumulative affects of your beatings, the net, and the stormwrack all dragging him down. He nevertheless pursues Haemir, drawing an attack of opportunity from Fand. If Fand fails to stop Ash, he strikes Haemir for 7hp with his first swing, but his second sees his axe slip from his bloody grip and fly into the mist.

Three halflings see Xel'Aw coming a turn back to attack him, with two hitting for 6hp of damage. One goes after Sol, but is too busy dodging the returning staff to get in a blow. The three in the mist look for targets, but manage only to get their weapons tangled together and achieve nothing, even against the recumbent Caelwyn. (You are not the only ones to roll "1s" back to back!) The remainder attack Haemir and Fand, but miss completely.

You have survived another round! Can you lay low Ashburipal and win the day? Does it all come down to Fand to save the day?

Caelwyn realizes that he will be made short work of down here if he does not get up at once - he will attempt to rise to his feet (OOC: probably drawing attacks of opportunity from the halflings closest to him, I would assume?)

Fand claws at the cannibal leader (attack of opportunity:16 - damage:5) and follows behind him (moves 5') & continues her frenzied attack (13, 19 & 19 for 3,2, & 4 dmg - if at any point she has any attacks left she will switch to the nearest foe)

Haemir's body barely has time to register the cut as he stabs Ash (or the nearest halfling) gritting his teeth and waiting for the pain (not daring to look at the wound) (attack:17 for 9 dmg)

If he's still alive Wolfgang will attack him, if he is not wolfgang will attack the next halfling. mist roll 27, so that is a hit. attack: 6. miss.

"Oh no! I'm struck! I die!
Fight for nobility -
And for make captors lie."

The performance continues to inspire courage, and fearing death takes a step to K18, Xel'Aw takes a shot with the crossbow at the halflings hitting him. (8+2+1 for performance = 11 to hit, 6+1 = 7 damage - first roll was wrong modifier sorry

Taking strength from Lil's heal, Caelwyn steps forward and stabs at Ashurbanipal with his longsword, determined to end this fight as quickly as possible.

Haemir and Fand team up in a flurry of attacks that not only bring down the mighty Ashurbanipal, but a pair of halflngs as well.
Caelwyn survives the weak attack of opportunity and regains his feet, and makes a weak attack in return.
Bigby and Wolfgang join forces to kill the halfling in D13, doing unto him well before he does to them.
'Lil heals Caelwyn as he rises. It looks like he might survive the day!
Sol seems to be lost in the mist for a moment.
Xel'Aw brings down one last halfling with a sharp wit and and pointy bolt.
Grindar moves closer and switches targets from the fallen Ash to a halfling, but the last minute change throws off his aim.

Ashurbanipal goes down with a final howl. The remaining halflings quail in fear at the sight or sound, and with a last longing look at Ash's succulent, abundant flesh, flee for the north gate. (Withdraw actions, so no AoOs.)

Congrats, you have won the field!

As the obscuring mist dissipates Haemir touches a hand to his chest and winces as he notes the blood.
Meanwhile Fand lands on his shoulder and in a puff the 'swallow' reverts back to being a blue Macaw...

"Fand you're crazy, do you know that"? He says quietly to the bird, but the anger does not last longer than a second or two as he breaks in to a grin. Looking around he sees that everyone is still standing and breathes a sigh of relief as he straightens up, stretching an ache or two away.

"Right everyone injured come over here... that includes you two..." he says gesturing to Grindar and Xel'Aw. Glimpsing at Lil he continues, "Lil do you have anymore channels? I have one heal left".

He watches the halflings scampering away for a few seconds, "Let's dump the dead halflings here, get the injured dwarves in to the cart, heal up, search the place and then get out of here... I could do with a nice drink and I don't know about you lot but I've worked up quite an appetite".

Looking towards the drow and half-orc he continues:"I'm Haemir, you met Fand already" he says gesturing to the bird on his shoulder. "Why don't you come back to our camp, I'm sure we can feed you and you can tell us how you came to be all the way out here..." he says with a warm smile.

"IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY, YOU STUPID oh what's the point. They can't understand me anyway. Everyone gather round and I'll help stitch ya up."

Once everyone huddles around 'Lil, she'll channel positive energy and heal 4 HP of damage. She greats the newcomers. "Hey guys, I'm 'Lil. You two sure are good at killin' halflings, I'll give ya that. How'd they manage to get you in that cage anyway?"

Bigby translates to halfling: "It didn't have to be this way, you stupid oh what's the point..." He then realizes that part wasn't a translation thing. "perhaps introductions are the things people do...ahem...I'm Bigby and this is Wolfgang. Merry to meet you. wait it's nice to meet you. I'm sure someone else better at this can explain what we're doing here and get your story. While that's happening I want to see this big little guy's story is." Bigby then moves on to search for any loot.

Upon seeing Lil, and realizing there is a lady present, and he is wearing not but his under garments, Grindar begins to blush, and I spite of his green skin his cheeks turn red. Quickly He runs back to where his belongings are, and in a few minutes he returns fully clad, and buckeling his breastplate.

“I am Grindar, son of Grindor, well met friends”, says the oversize half-orc, “I appreciate your invite, as well as your healing, and would gladly join you at your camp, do you need me to carry a dwarf or two?”. “Two answer your question malady”, Grindar continues, “In short, I was ambushed in my sleep”.

Xel'Aw reloads the crossbow and continues another round of the bardic performance either unaware the fight has ended, or in celebration of the victory:

"Aloft and without mortal wound,
Adventurers of Sargrass Plain
Did spoil the spoils of spoiled-doomed
And in victory, share refrain."

I'm Xel'Aw, and I thank you all humbly for your rescuing assistance. This rather large fellow with me is Grindar, son of Grindor. I am, apparently, a poet. I honestly wish I could tell you more about myself, but after the knock on the head these halflings gave me to get me in captivity, I remember almost nothing of my earlier life. I believe I'm a member of the Sage's Guild, based on my field training manual found with my belongings..."

Xel'Aw takes the crossbow over toward Haemir, obviously pointed toward the ground and unloading it as he cautiously approaches. "Mr. Bird, I believe this is your crossbow and I owe you a large quantity of seed. I thank you deeply. I also have your scroll here of cure wounds," and to Haemir he says, "I could use a spot of healing aye, if you can."

Xel'Aw will join the hunt for loot after getting healed and suggests to the party, "We should stack the dead in one of the tents in case the others return, they'll have plenty to eat and it won't spoil as fast so they can leave us alone. We should attend to the two remaining dwarves in the cage. Then load up whatever we can, pity we don't have a cart. Then we can continue toward... Actually, I don't really have a destination. Whereabouts are you all going and would you mind a writer join along?"

Haemir accepts back the xbow but holds his hand up when Xel'Aw tries to pass him the scroll. "You know what? Keep the scroll. If you can use it, then its better if the healing is spread out" He pats the drow warmly on the shoulder. "That was some fine poetry you did there..." turning to meet Grindar he grins "You sure now how to fight" he pauses to feed Fand some seeds. He nods a warm 'thanks' to Lil after she heals everyone.

As Haemir wheels in the cart and starts to dump halfling bodies Fand hops down on to the cart and begins cleaning the blood from her claws. In answer to Xel'Aw's question the elf replies: "A writer you say" breaking out an even bigger smile "Of course, you're more than welcome. We were recently hired by a Duke from Hook city to help explore the Plains. We came by ship and there are several more on the way. We aim to make the Sargrass Plains safer and create an outpost so that more people can come. I'm not sure that anyone is going back yet but I know we need all the help we can get, that is if you're interested in work? There's a wage in it for you, shelter, provisions"...

Sol smiles at the two new people, and politely waits his turn.

"I am Elijah Solomon. You may call me Sol. It is a pleasure to meet you both." He smiles broadly as he shakes each of their hands in turn.

"Pray tell, what caused you to run afoul of these terrible halflings? If you do not mind my asking?"

He smiles at them and as he asks he takes out his large book and his quill.

"I am writing of my adventures as I travel, and keeping notes on who I meet and their stories as well. I would be glad to hear both of yours if we can find time to talk about them, and you would be happy with me writing them down. If you are not happy with me writing them down, I would be happy to hear them all the same."

He begins jotting a few notes down in the book, clearly about the battle, when he hears Bigby mention the dwarves, he looks a little embarrassed and puts the book and the quill away, and jogs over to Bigby.

"Can I help with freeing any of the dwarves?"

Caelwyn limps over toward the others, leaning on his spear for support. He is looking much the worse for wear, although better than a few moments ago. He casts an appraising eye at the newcomers, wondering for a moment if he wouldn't rather be fighting the cannibal halflings than be asked to treat with a drow and a half-orc.

"We appreciate your assistance in dealing with these...brutes." Caelwyn glares at the corpse of Ashurbanipal sprawled upon the ground, then turns to his friends. "Let's locate the dwarves right away, and then worry about our own injuries - they may be close to death for all we know. And then", he glances at Grindar and Xel'Aw, "I would be curious to hear your stories." He immediately heads off to find the dwarves.
