Chapter Seven: The Stalemate At Loton's Cove

Leth takes a few more steps back, trying to keep some distance between himself and the oncoming enemies, before letting loose another volley of arrows at the wolf directly in front of him.

Leth paces backwards and fires two methodical shots into the wolf before him. The second arrow proves fatal.

The remaining active wolf springs up at Annganne while the four slingers wind up and hurl their bullets at the party, ignoring the roc. Four others get to work reviving the rest of the entranced orcs.

Edit: Three bullets miss, but one bounces off Felor's shoulder.

That 1 point of damage goes to you, Felor.

The roc distorts and vanishes in a fading mess of colors, shapes, and patterns as the wolf collides with Annganne standing on the back of her donkey.

Please make a Strength saving throw, Annganne! All other party members can take an action now.

The wolf knocks Annganne right off her donkey, taking her down to the ground below with one savage, arcing leap. But Zangua is upon them immediately, plunging his sword into the wolf and kicking it away even as the gnome hollers about some esoteric theory.

All the wolves are dead except for the two still sleeping and the charmed one. Domarc, Felor, Leth, and Mordred can take actions now.

Seeing that the wolves are not a threat for the time being, and that Felor has effectively put up a barrier between him and the Orcs, Leth drops to one knee and aims high. He doesn't fire yet, however, but rather waits for any of the orcs to pass in front of the wind wall, where they are vulnerable.

Mordred's arrow flies wide.

Edit: BTW since you guys do not have war horses, I'm assuming you'd dismount for any travel combat encounters you can see coming. Annganne and her donkey are a different story.

Dirt, grit, and detritus rise into the air as Felor raises a wall of wind between the party and the orcs, a two-layered barrier that blows past the two orc slingers in the front before whipping back around to slice through the two behind them, both of whom are slammed to the ground by the force of the gale.

Edit 2: The charmed wolf keeps running, past his sleeping packmates, only to stop at the wall of wind. Three of the orcs caught within the wall move out of the buffeting winds into the calm space between the two layers, but one of them pushes forward, winding up his sling with one hand while drawing a jagged hand axe from his back with the other. He walks purposely in a straight line toward the party and fires off a sling bullet with great force, aimed right at Felor's head.

Five more orcs rush up to the wall while three stay behind to tend to the last three hypnotized orcs.

Edit 3: Felor raises his shield and deflects the bullet. At the same time, Leth looses his readied arrow and immediately fires another one. The first arrow skewers the orc's chest and brings him to his knees; the second buries itself deep between his neck and shoulder and fells him.

All party members can take an action now.

Felor's bolt pierces the wind wall and strikes the orc, limning him in a golden glow that draws the eye.

Edit: As a result of Annganne's phantasmal force, two of the orcs behind the rear curve of the wind wall briefly tousle and exchange expletives, but nothing more seems to come of it.

Leth, you're up! Moving ahead with combat tomorrow.
