[Game Thread] Chapter One - Midsummer Eve

[ricktur63]

The elven woman offered the young woman her own sword when she came to retrieve the hobgoblin's sword. "Here! Take yours with my thanks! I'll take the longsword of the overgrown goblin. I wish I had my own with me. If we can get this poor fellow over closer to Starchild I may be able to stabilize them both at the very least." Darshee took the longsword and moved over toward the back of the bar and Starchild. Once every one was near the back of the tavern Darshee faced the two injured folks. She started to chant and gesture with her free hand. The woman directed her magic toward Starchild and everyone who survived the fight. Flames flowed from her hand but this time the flames were blue and cool with healing flames.

Consumed in a burst of healing fire a touch of color returns to Starchild's cheeks and her eyes begin to focus. Though her wounds are grievous, blood no longer pours through El's fingers like a fountain. The silence in the inn is punctuated with the sounds of battle in the distance, pouring in through the open window and door.

OOC Starchild: 3 hp Stunned Citizen 3: -8 hp Unconscious Bleeding 1 Rick, we'll say half minimum one. Starchild takes 1 point of healing and the magic healing stops the bleeding. She's stunned for one more round. Instead of running "rounds" anyone who wants to try to stabilize the remaining citizen roll two heal checks or use some sort of healing magic on him. The kitchen has knives in it, (the F area) which will function as daggers. Bottles, trenchers, plates, tankards, etc. can be used as improvised bludgeons doing d4 damage. Chairs can be used as improvised clubs doing d6 damage. After a successful hit they receive the broken condition. We are no longer in rounds, but it is clear the safety of the tavern is temporary, and outside is a warzone.

Ulfar Arjax   "Thanks for comin' back, Starchild. Ye may have returned from heaven to face a livin' hell, but we need ya." Ulfar looks around at his companions. "We can't stay 'ere for long. Those hobgobs are wartrained. They'll easily slaughter any sort of defense this town can rally." Ulfar heads towards the window of the tavern, making sure to keep his profile low. He takes a quick peak out the window, trying to assess the situation. "I've some things at my place that I ought to pick up. Relics from my past. Then I reckon we ought to evacuate as many as possible as soon as possible."

Darshee was worried for her orphan children. Most of them would not stay with her but she tried to look out for them anyway. They all seemed to have really good hiding places so she hoped that they would stay hidden during this flagrant attack of the city. "I won't leave my sword behind. I'll have to go and retrieve it but I will meet up with you near the great oak east of the main road. It's a family relic, use to belong to my great-grandmother. " The elven woman slouched as she moved closer to the window to get a better look at what was happening outside. Not happy with what she saw out the front the woman slouched her way back to the rear of the tavern where she found a window in the kitchen area. Perhaps there was less a chance of an attack out the back alleys of Bridgetown.

A small wave of relief passed over the deputy seeing Starchild become slightly less pale. The knot in her stomach only released a tiny bit knowing all of them were still not safe. The shouts and screams from outside kept her on edge. She sheathed her sword as Ulfar and Darshee scouted out the windows.

“Get what you need. We can’t stay in Bridgetown I don’t think they plan on letting anything be salvageable. Alright the old oak on the east side it is. El help me get Starchild out of here. We’ll meet you two there as soon as possible,” Lily said starting to put one of the bard’s arms arounds around her shoulders.

"The real question is," Starchild pipes up, gaining her senses despite her injuries. “How did they come without being seen by anyone? These damn plains are so flat you can see an elk from two days off, let alone an army! No alert, no hue and cry?” She winces and presses her hands against the bloody hole in her chest as she's brought to her feet by Lily. “I'm scared to split up. What if we find another patrol? You can't carry me and fight. I know a spot in the woods, we just have to get across the bridge with anyone and any supplies we can gather. Ulfar, I heard you helped maintain the bridge. Do you think you could destroy it?"

[dalarangreen]

Ulfar Arjax   Ulfar's heart clenched when Starchild mentioned destroying the bridge. The years he had spent maintaining with the other folks of the Brigade... Of course, if nothing was done, there wouldn't be much of Bridgetown left. "I am sure I can manage something," Ulfar muttered, "But these hobgoblins are military. They ain't gonna leave the bridge unguarded."

 

Actions and OOC Quick question, Draco: are we going to be able to reclaim our items easily while the town is undersiege?

When the elven woman heard the voice of Starchild she let out a pip of surprise. She smiled when she saw that some color had returned to the bard's skin. Her smile quickly faded when she heard the woman's suggestion to bring down the bridge. Darshee didn't like the sound of that at all. How many would die from the failing of the bridge structure? Her own home was just a couple of streets over where she had some provisions and her grandmother's sword. They would need the provisions and she wasn't going to leave the sword of her ancestors behind. "I have some provisions and gear we'll need just a street or two over. And I won't leave my family sword behind."

 

None at the moment.

“Then we go to the woods, over the bridge. Could we use the net that was put up to cross? No maybe not,” the deputy thought better of it remembering that Starchild was injured. using the net to cross would be too risky and Starchild wouldn't be strong enough to manage the ropes. Across on foot would have to suffice.
“Darshee, get what you need from your home. Meet us on the town side of the bridge,’ the younger elf said starting to assist the bard to her feet.

“Ulfer, can we think about the bridge situation when we get there? But we have to get there first,” Lily asked trying to bring some sense of order to the chaotic situation they now found themselves in.

Peeking out the front door is not an uplifting sight. Hobgoblins battle with townsfolk in every direction, and from the sounds of battle, the whole town and tent city is under attack. Bodies lie on the ground everywhere, run through by hobgoblin blades and left where they fell. A wolf howls in the distance, its eerie cry echoed by the screams of the dying.

How do you proceed? Disguises? Sneaking? Boldly down main street? The party's current destination is Darshee's

[dalarangreen]

Ulfar Arjax   "After Darshee's we stop at my place," Ulfar grunted, "If you young'uns intend to bring down the bridge, I'll also need to grab m'self some things." As Ulfar looks out at the chaos, he steels himself. "The shadow of Myketa carries the night. May the fallen find their friends and family with your guidance." Having spoken his prayer, he is ready, "Well we ain't gettin' anywhere whispering here. Take us quick to yer place."

“Let’s just get across the street first.” Lily said adjusting her grip on Starchild. “I think we should try to sneak from house to house to our destinations. Stick to the shadows as best we can. Let the goblins go past and take the best opportunity to move.” The silver haired elf stuck her head part way out the door of the tavern to see what the foot traffic looked like.

Darshee took the lead as she took a tentative step outside then darted for the alley across the way. Once on the other side she stopped to wait for the rest of their little train of folks. It was surely going to be slow going. The last thing they needed was to draw unwanted attention to the little train of tavern patrons. She held onto one of the hobgoblin's sword. It was a crude weapon but it would have to do for now. She watched and motioned for the others to come along when the way was clear of goblinoids.
