The War of Three Kings — IC

[Scratcherclaw]

Wes smirks at the mention of using fire to drawn out the bandits, conjuring a minor flame with his fingers. "A fire will do well to catch them off-guard, and maybe even thin out some of their numbers," Wes says as he begins collecting twigs and sticks from the ground. Let's just hope this plan works.

[Fialova]

"Ah yes, I'd almost forgotten your fire magic," Adrian muses in response to Wes' display. "Good, with Chloë's wind magic the two of you should be able to get an inferno raging in no time." He follows the others' example and begins gathering sticks and dry leaves, and whatever else nearby could be used to start a good base fire.

[Namelessjake]

The group spreads out, gathering wood for the fire and after around twenty minutes or so a large bonfire is constructed. Wes sets the bonfire alight and Chloe stirs up the surrounding winds, causing the fire to spread to the surrounding bushes and grass.

"I suppose we should find somewhere to lie in wait now," Kass says once the fire and its smoke is big enough to be seen from far away.

[ratwizard]

"I have some will over earthen magic, from my time in Menora," Brannik adds to Adrian's comment before they gather one.

As the bonfire is lit, the dwarf watches with interest as his companions combine usages of the arcane. "Let's have a scout or two, then the rest of tens of yards back," he suggests, not wanting to cluster together.

[Scratcherclaw]

"Perhaps your earthen abilities will be helpful for snuffing out this fire when we're through," Wes responds to Brannik as the dwarf mentions his arcane abilities.

At the suggestion of forward scouts, Wes says, "I could be one if no one else volunteers. The heat's not gonna bother me anyways."

[Fialova]

"Someone else who can attack from a distance would be preferably for the other scout," Adrian replies, facing Owin in particular. "That is not one of my skills, so I will stick towards the back."

[ratwizard]

"Chloe and Owin, would one of you mind?" Brannik asks, uneasily. "It's not an easy thing to volunteer for, and I wouldn't blame you for declining, y'know. But having eyes above would give us a great edge against our foe."

[Namelessjake]

"Happily," Owin says with a nod. "There's probably some boulders we can hide behind somewhere," he says to Wes, surveying the area.

"We should try too find a better hiding spot," Ser Rardan says to the others. "If the Red Whispers spot two people they might not think too much of it, but all of us would be a different story. Perhaps we should take cover in one of the wooded areas?"

[Scratcherclaw]

At Owin's words, Wes scans the terrain to locate a spot for the duo to lie in wait for the Red Whispers.

Mechanics

[SHOW]

Perception check to find a good place to lie in wait: 20(1d20) +10 = 30 Oh.

[Fialova]

"Yes, that does sound best," Adrian responds, looking around for the nearest patch of trees they could hid behind. "Something to disguise ourselves might be a good idea, too. Some mud on our skin, perhaps. Or shrubs to cover ourselves in to not stand out amongst the trees."

OOC

[SHOW]

What wooded areas are there nearby? And are any too close to the fire to be safe to hide in?

[Namelessjake]

Wes

[SHOW]

About 50 feet East of the fire, you spot a large rock which leans in such a way over a small hole that it would provide a good hiding spot.

You also spot a patch of thick bushes 40 feet South of the fire which could hide you quite well.

Adrian

[SHOW]

There is a small patch of woodland about 200 feet to the North. You can see others in the distance, however they are too far away to be of use. The rest of the area in your proximity is mostly covered with rocky brush.

[Scratcherclaw]

Turning to Owin, Wes says "There's a hole well-concealed by a rock that way," gesturing toward it with his hands. "There's also some thick bushes, but that hardly seem like the place I'd like to wait in a fire." With this, he begins leading Owin to the hiding spot.

[Fialova]

"There," Adrian says, pointing towards the only seemingly-suitable wooded area to hide in. "That seems the only place thick enough to lay in wait. Hopefully it is not too far to come to their aid if they're ambushed." We will see how smart these raiders are. He begins to walk towards the area, motioning for the rest to follow.

[ratwizard]

"Good find," Brannik says to the Gleiosian, noticing a spot within the wood that would be feasible. "I have some control over the terrain," he admits. "I may be able to help obscure us with my abilities," the dwarf explains as he keeps stride with Adrian.

[Fialova]

"That would definitely be useful," Adrian responds. Certainly better than mud. "How much control, if you don't mind me asking? Seems like a skill that could come in useful in the future as well." So much magic in this land. You'd think there'd be less barbarism with so many gifted with such abilities.

[ratwizard]

"Not much," the dwarf admits. "I spent a few years' time studying in Menora -- you know, big tower, academies, snobby humans -- but I wasn't a natural," he explains. "Though I may be able to bring up from the ground a bit of foliage cover around us to obscure our position from the Red Whispers." Brannik shrugs, with an unashamed grin. "To be fair, the kind of magic I studied was the kind to help me when facing someone trying to kill me. And by that, I don't mean hiding."

[Namelessjake]

As you lay in wait, the fire rages on, slowly spreading across the grassy brush as it dries out the area surrounding it. After a few minutes of waiting a group of men appear, walking towards the fire. As they grow near, they spread out and draw weapons.

They approach slowly and cautiously, but eventually they near Wes and Owin's hiding spot.

Wes and Owin

[SHOW]

As the men appear, you hide yourselves as fully as possible. You hear their footsteps and the sound of their voices grow louder as they near the fire.

"Keep your eyes open lads. This fire didn't light itself."

Mechanics

[SHOW]

Everyone roll Stealth for both of your characters.

[ratwizard]

While he waits, Brannik takes the time to employ some of his earthen magic. He carefully uses his maul, guiding foliage up from the underbrush. Thorny brush and a few vines crawl into a thick cover, aiding he and his allies' hiding. "That should do it," he whispers with a grin.

Gemma -- Stealth: 12(1d20) +1 = 13

[Scratcherclaw]

As the assumed Whispers draw closer, Wes tries his best to remain quiet within his hiding hole. Guess our little fire did the trick. But how many of these brutes are still hidden away?

Your hiding places seem to do their job and the bandits pass right by Wes and Owin without noticing them. The bandits near the fire and fan out, you count ten of them. They pause for a moment talking in hushed voices, possibly planning their next move.

Wes

Owin silently knocks an arrow, however he keeps his bow low and to the ground.
"What's our move?" He whispers.

Everyone Else

[SHOW]

"We could let them lead us back to their hideout, but I imagine they'll want to search the area some more first," Ser Rardan says a hand on the hilt of his sword.

"I say we take this lot out, less to fight in their hideout then. Ten here, there's not going to be many more of them," Gemma chimes in.

"Well if that's the plan we'll need to either let one go running home or capture and question one, or we'll never find the rest of them," Chloe adds.

Mechanics

[SHOW]

As you are not yet noticed by the enemy you can ambush them, attacking before rolling initiative and formally starting combat.

Any another actions you choose to take will require a stealth roll if you wish to remain undetected.

"While tempting, there is no guarantee we catch one who is willing to talk," Adrian says to Gemma and Chloë. "The point of this was to lure them out to follow them to their hideout, I say we stick to that plan unless we are discovered."

[ratwizard]

"I'm unsure how long we can track this lot before they find us shadowing them," Brannik admits. "But we can get headed in the right direction at least. Let's wait a bit before we jump out and knock their heads in."

Hmph, they are smarter than they look, Adrian thinks, as the bandits begin searching for a source of the fire. "We may just have to fight them if they get too close," he whispers to the others, doing his best to stay as quiet as possible. It may just be best to get this over with. If they find us, we lose the element of surprise.

As the bandits search one of them seems to get bored quickly, after a short while he shouts to the others. "You guys finish searching," he says, pointing to half of the bandits. "We'll report back to Artin."

Those not selected to stay quickly join him.
"Our stores may be low but Farryn can always brew up more, and it's not really worth the risk," he says pulling out a small vial. The others follow suit and all five men drink the contents.

After a few moments they begin to shimmer before starting to disappear before your eyes. However from your relatively close vantage point, and knowing where the men were stood, you can make out the faint outlines where the men stand and can track the odd shimmers in the air as the men leave.

Everyone Else

After searching the vicinity of the fire, one of the bandits gathers half of the others around him.

You make out them fumbling with their belongings before they vanish into thin air, leaving the remaining bandits still searching the area.

Hm, that is not something you see everyday. "Chloë, do you have any idea what sort of magic they are using?" Adrian asks. His companion racks her brain, trying to remember if she's encountered anything similar before.

You cannot detect the presence of any spells in the area. You recall that it would be possible to achieve such an effect with the use of a potion however the intricacies of this escape you.

[Fialova]

"All I know is it must be a potion or something. I didn't see them cast any spells," Chloë responds, quietly. She keeps her eyes glued to the remaining men, watching to see if they do anything similar.

"Damn, well hopefully the rest don't do the same. Can't tail someone you can't see," he says, frustrated at the turn of events.

[ratwizard]

Confused, Brannik squints through the brush at the mob of bandits. "I don't understand," he admits to the others. "Do you suppose they are still here, but unseeable? Or perhaps... they have somehow returned to their outpost? No, such magic would not be possible by normal means."

[Fialova]

"My guess was the former, but I suppose the latter could be possible to. But as you say, it would be much more difficult to accomplish. If these bandits have that power in the form of a potion then I think we may be dealing with something a lot more formidable than we initially thought." I do not believe for a second that these men have such capabilities, but it would be unwise to rule it out. "We should take the rest of these men out and try their potions out for ourselves. Assuming they also carry some, that is."

[Scratcherclaw]

"They're using some kind of invisibility potion, I figure," Wes responds to Owin as he watches the bandits vanish into thin air. "This'll make our task a bit more difficult." From his hiding place, he looks over to his allies, looking to see if they plan to make a move.

At Adrian's guidance, Brannik nods his head. "Take them out, sounds good," he repeats, looking toward Gemma. "Pincer formation, rookie. We're gonna blindside that first bandit so hard, he won't know who he's fighting." She gives a smile at the idea and points her spear forward. "Ready?"

With practiced coordination and speed, the human and the dwarf tear through the brush, breaking into the clearing. Gemma swings wide around her left, coming toward the bandit who has hardly time to face her. He brings his weapon up quick enough to parry her blow, but at the same time Brannik is flanking behind him, mid-swing. The massive hammer catches the bandit square in the back with painful force. "Red Whispers! It's about time your destiny catches up with you," the Bull cries, a field of earthen energy forming around him, ready to deflect any blows he might take. Gemma whistles, signalling the others to engage as well.

"Don't hog all the fun," Adrian says as he rushes into the fray. Taking a detour through the trees, he rushes at the man who'd hit Gemma from a different angle, catching the man off guard and landing a solid blow that knocks him to the ground.

Turning his attention to another foe Adrian rushes forward again, once more circling around his prey somewhat to catch him off guard. The tactic works a second time, and the man is shoved forward, getting dangerously close to the raging inferno. "Why don't you just make it easy on yourself and jump in," he says, eyeing the flames behind the man.

Not wasting any time, Kass emerges from the brush as well, and rushes at one of the bandits. Unfortunately, her blade fails to hit the downed foe.

Seeing the rest of his companions entering the fray, Wes says to Owin, "Well, I guess there's your answer." With his blood boiling for a fight, Wes charges out of the hole and towards the nearest ruffian, landing a harsh blow to the man. "How do you like the fire?" he mocks with a fiendish smile. "It's my own creation. With a little help from a friend, that is."

As Gemma engages the bandit, Theun and Rarden charge forward from the trees. Theun, not weighed down by armour, reaches the bandit first and strikes the man in the arm with his axe.

Rarden soon follows, bringing down his bastard sword with two hands, into the bandits neck. The blade embeds itself deep in between the bandit's shoulder and neck. Rarden pulls it free, using a foot to push against the bandit, who quickly begins to fade from this world, dropping to the floor dead.

As usual, Chloë moves forward and summons her gust of wind, centered around the men fighting her lover. While one is able to resist the pull, the other is not so lucky and finds it difficult to move around. Adrian takes this opportunity to slip away, moving into a flanking position with Kass against one of the other men.

Seeing one of the bandits plagued by Chloë's strange wind magic, Brannik takes it upon himself to follow up. In a signature charge, the Bull surges forward through the battle, his heavy hammer swinging ahead of him. Brannik's weapon manages to catch the bandit off-guard, and he is sent to the ground in a painful mess. "Regroup on me!" he calls out to the pack of close-quarter companions near him.
