Hoping for better luck than her first attempt, Kass takes another swipe at the bandit with her sword. But once more, he's able to easily dodge it.

Seeing his foe struggling to keep up, Wes smirks and strikes at him once more with his arcane blade. Trusting Owin's arrows to put the Whisperman down once and for all, Wes vanishes into thin air before rematerializing a ways away. These men are pathetic, hardly putting up a fight.

Meanwhile the flames continue to spread, starting to lick at Wes and his attacker.

Seeing the flames creep ever closer, Adrian leaves his current foe to suffer from the flames and returns to his clustered allies surrounding another man. Rushing forward, he catches the man off-guard, immediately following up with a second, weaker attack to take full advantage of the man's vulnerable state. "You don't have to fight, you know. You could just cooperate and live," he says, not expecting any of the men to take the bait.

Mechanics

[SHOW]

Minor Action: Aegis of Ensnarement on Bandit 2
Effect: Target is marked. If target hits with an attack that doesn't include me as a target, I can TP him next to me and target will grant CA for a turn to all creatures.

Standard Action: Charge -> Overwhelming Strike to (G, 7) on Bandit 4 (I do not provoke OAs while charging).
Attack: 30(+2 from flanking, forgot to include) vs AC = hit
Hit: 16 damage, opt not to do forced movement.

No Action: Iron Wolf Charge
Effect: Bandit 4 takes 4 additional damage, and I make an attack
Attack vs Bandit 4: 29(+2 from flanking, forgot again) vs Will = hit
Hit: target takes -2 to attacks until the end of my next turn.
This is a close burst attack, so if there are any invisible enemies nearby I roll to attack them too. Just let me know if I need to and I will edit them in.

"Cooperate? And be taken back to whatever Lord sent you to be hung? We're good," the bandit Adrian disengaged from replies, as he chases after the Gleosian despite the flames starting to burn him.

Battered and breathing hard, Gemma takes a few seconds to reassess the situation. "This fire's getting worse, and quickly," she notes aloud, but mostly to herself. Snapping to, the trainee bursts forward around the combatants. Slamming the haft of her spear into the dirt with a loud clang, Gemma calls out to Adrian. "I didn't know a few bandits could stop the Wind Dancer, eh?" The woman winks toward the Gleiosian while she helps surround the bandit.

Yards away, Brannik manages to repel the flailing kicks of a proned bandit seeking to down him. "Quit squirming, lille skiderik!" the Bull shouts down to him, having to take a moment to bat the bandit's swings aside with a boot of his own. Irritated, he misses an opportunity to bring his hammer down atop the man's vulnerable frame.

The surrounded bandit manages to block an attack by Theun, however with enemies on all sides he leaves himself vulnerable to attack. Rardan takes advantage of this and with a hefty blow, he lops the man's arm off and buries his blade in the man's torso. As he pulls his blade free, the bandit falls to the ground breathing his last.

"It's been a while since I killed a man, looks like I haven't lost the knack for it though," the aged knight says, making his way towards Brannik.

The fire continues to spread, although intensity of the flames in the epicentre starts to die down as the fire uses up all the available fuel.

"A lucky hit," Adrian responds to Gemma, before spitting a bit of blood on the ground. "It won't happen again." He weaves through the others and slams through the flames into the man who'd hit him, dealing a solid blow that leaves the man barely standing. He gives the man a smirk, then steps back a bit, out of the reach of the flames. May the flames take you.

"Owin!" Brannik calls out, checking the surroundings for any remaining threats and not seeing any. "We need to start looking for tracks. Which way were they coming from exactly? We'll follow what we can." He scans around again, taking a look especially in the distance or behind any cover for possible remaining bandits in an ambush.

As the last man falls, Adrian produces a rag from his belt and begins to wipe the blood from his blade as he walks towards the others gathered nearby. Once he reaches them, he puts his rag back and bends down near one of the bodies. "I bet you one of these corpses will have some more of whatever it is the others drank," he says as bends down to check the bodies of the nearby dead.

Mechanics

[SHOW]

Adrian moves out of the way of the flames, towards Chloë and the others. He checks the body of the corpses left near them, looking for potions or other magical items.

"What I'd like to know is how did a gang of random bandits get their hands on invisibility potions in the first place?" Wes responds to Adrian as he cools down after the fight. Hoping the potions left some sort of residual magic in the air, Wes tries his best to sense it, and its trail.

Mechanics

Arcana to try and detect a magical trail or something left by the invisibility potions please: 5(1d20) +13 = 18

"Well if they're still here, they better get to running. Invisibility isn't going to help if I start swinging my hammer around checking for these chuckleheads," Brannik says in reply about the invisibility potions.

"What if it wasn't invisibility?" Adrian responds, as he continues searching. "I'd have thought invisible bandits would have taken the opportunity to flank us while out of sight, but we didn't encounter anyone we couldn't see."

"I'm pretty certain it was invisibility," Wes responds to the Wind Dancer. "They drank something out of a vial and then vanished, though their outlines were still faintly visible."

Recounting what the bandits had said, Wes adds, "The invisible ones mentioned reporting back to Artin, so I'd imagine they were long gone before our little fight began. They also mentioned brewing more of whatever potion they used."

Owin nods at Brannik's orders and heads over to where the bandits were before they disappeared. He crouches down and begins looking for tracks.

Brannik

[SHOW]

Scanning the horizon you see no sign of any threats or anything out of the ordinary.

Adrian

You search the three corpses near you, finding an identical small glass vial on each man. The vials are corked and contain a clear liquid which shimmers in the light.

Wes

You detect a faint presence, which you attribute to the potions and the escaped bandits, coming from the same direction from which the bandits appeared before you ambushed them.

"Well I've found some of it on the dead," Adrian says, holding up the vials he's recovered from the corpses of the slain bandits. "Think you can discern more about them with a closer look?" he asks, more towards Wes, Kass and Chloë than the others.

"Lemme take a look," Wes says, walking over to Adrian and examining the vial.

Wes

[SHOW]

These potions look very similar to those you have seen before, brewed by the alchemists of the Tower. However you recall those potions having less of a shimmer to them, suggesting that these ones are of a lower quality.

Taking a closer look at them, Wes says, "Hmm... They look similar to potions I've seen brewed by alchemists in Menora. Though those ones were a lot less shimmery. I doubt these ones are anywhere near as good as the Tower makes."

"So they probably have an amateur alchemist or something working with them, or at least under their influence," Adrian thinks aloud. "Or perhaps their leader dabbles in it. A useful skill to have for raiding, I suppose." Turning to Owin, Adrian asks, "hey, think you can figure out where the others were headed? I doubt we will get much out of them," he says, motioning towards the dead bandits at his feet.

"Working on it, tracking invisible people is a first for me," Owin says as he stands and walks a couple of paces over to a patch of grass, before crouching down once more. "Their base of operations must be close, with the speed they responded to that fire," he adds as he examines the ground. "If anyone else knows anything about tracking then now would be a good time to let it be known," he adds with a chuckle.

At Owin's beckoning, Kass steps forward and says, "Allow me." Kneeling down, she examines the area for any remaining tracks from the bandits.

"I don't know anything about tracking, but I will aid the search as best I can," Adrian responds, doing his best to spot any footprints or other signs of disturbance in the grass.

Kass

You quickly spot a few blades of grass bent in the direction the bandits would have left. With a basis to work off, you are able to spot a couple more signs of the bandits further up ahead too.

Adrian

[SHOW]

You search the ground near Owin and Kass, however you can't see any indication of the bandits.

"You don't need to be a tracker to have a keen eye," Kass says with a smirk. Noticing the bent blades of grass and other signs of movement, she points in the direction of the bandits' movement. "They went that way."

"Good eyes," Brannik comments as he notices the signs now that Kass had pointed them out. "Let's see where these weaklings took off to. Maybe we'll run into their entire base." With his hammer at the ready, the dwarf motions for his recruit to follow along.

"We'll have to be careful of a counter-ambush at this point, right, boss?" Gemma asks.

"Right. But we'll shatter any foothold they will be able to set up in the meantime. Literally," comes the reply of Brannik, casually letting the head of his hammer drop to the ground for effect, and the ground seems to bristle at the touch.

"Well now that we know where they went, and that they're no longer near us, I think it'd be best to take a breather for a moment before rushing headlong towards their headquarters," Adrian says. His eagerness is admirable, but could be dangerous.

Stepping away from the flames, enough that their expansion won't catch up with him, Adrian takes a moment to rest on the ground, his sword in his lap and his eyes shut in a brief moment of meditation. Chloë steps over to join him, leaning next to him for a bit of rest as well.

Wes nods to Adrian and plops down on the ground himself. "Agreed. As much as I'd love to take the fight to these amateurs right now, it's better to be at my best when I put those barbarians in the ground." Quickly bandaging his minor wound, he takes a breather and admires his blazing inferno.

You sit and catch your breath for a few minutes, watching the flames of the fire. After a little while Ser Rardan stands.

"If no one has an objection I say we start following those tracks," the aged knight says. "I imagine those men will be expected back at some point and it'd be wise to attack before their comrades' suspicions are raised."

"Yes, let's," Adrian responds to the man, opening his eyes. He grabs Chloë's hand and helps her up, re-sheathing his sword and looking to the others. Once they begin to move as well he moves towards the general direction of the path that had been spotted, hoping some of the more perceptive members of the group will lead the way.

"Agreed," Wes says following Adrian, picking himself up off the ground. "I'm itching for another fight already, especially if it means we can put these lowlifes in the ground."

"I'm always ready," Brannik says with a smirk as they regroup and begin following the tracks. "Let's make haste. Perhaps we can find these Red Whispers before they can mount much of a planned defense," he suggests.

Setting off, Kass and Owin take the lead, following the tracks left by the escaped bandits. The tracks lead you, for about a quarter of an hour, over one hill and up to the next, which is heavily forested. The tracks stop being easy to follow at the edge of the trees, as the thicker undergrowth obscures them.

"It didn't take them too long to show up at the fire. I'd put my money on their camp being somewhere in there," Owin says pointing into the trees. "Unless they were a patrol and already far from home."

"If only we could torch their forest like they did the fields of the folk," Brannik says gruffly. "But we are not like them. If their camp is within these woods, let's find it quickly and snuff it out."

"I can't imagine a patrol venturing too far from camp to begin with. For an army, maybe. But thugs? They don't have much territory to defend," Adrian responds, looking towards the woods. They surely know these woods better than we will. We should aim to stay hidden as long as possible.

"If they do live in those woods, we'd be fools to just stroll through. I suggest, if we do head in, that we keep low and move quietly. The best we can hope for is the element of surprise when fighting on their home turf."

"Yeah, bandits don't seem like the type for patrols, even ones as organized as these. They've gotta be holed up somewhere in the underbrush or something," Wes says, nodding in agreement with Adrian as they approach the forest.

"But we should definitely be careful. No one will know these woods better than they do. And let's not forget their invisibility potions."

"Keep your eyes open everyone," Owin says as he knocks an arrow and steps towards the treeline.

You head into the trees, weapons at the ready, and slowly make your way deeper into the small patch of woodland, trying to be as stealthy as possible.
