The town of Greenest was founded by the halfling Dharva Scatterheart, a rogue who fancied herself the queen of the Greenfields. Scatterheart passed away without ever achieving that level of eminence, but her town grew into a thriving community. Its success isn't surprising, since Greenest is the only town of any size astride the Uldoon Trail, the most direct road between the eastern cities of the Dragon Coast, Cormyr, and Sembia with the Coast Way running south to the great cities of Amn, Tethyr, and far Calimshan. The trade caravans that pass through Greenest bring gold to the town's merchants and craftsfolk, and Governor Nighthill runs the town at the behest of the inhabitants.

Each of you is travelling with a caravan north towards the Trade Way that links all the great cities of the Sword Coast.

There are about 100 people in this caravan, but most are traders on their standard route. A rag tag band of entertainers and a few couriers with official proclamations to deliver. A wagon laden with Chultan brandy has kept everyone's spirits high, as the brandy merchant sets up his wagon like a little pub each night.

A few members of the caravan obviously aren't traders or performers. You of course. Try to think of a good reason to be travelling, as you approach the small town of Greenest. And give us a sentence or two about yourself.

How you look.
How you're travelling (on foot, horseback, paid carriage ticket, etc.)
What you want others to know about you.

Ty settled back against the sideboard of the wagon he had slipped into and wondered what the hells he had been thinking. Life had not been great in Waterdeep, but being on the open road was for the birds! Ty liked things fast. He liked to feel his pulse pounding in his veins and the twitch of his fingers anticipating a score. On the streets, you always had to look over your shoulder whether it be for the Watch or another worker trying to use you to get ahead. Open skies and easy travel bored him; bored was not a good look on him.

He looked down at the clothes he'd chosen. At the time, he thought the gray stained leather had looked fine. Gray and muted browns were good colors. Black made you stand out almost as much as wearing peacock feathers, but gray was a good color. People forgot about it right after they looked at it. His friend Mot the Beggar told him to buy some armor if Ty was dead set on this fool's escapade of his. Mot had found him when he was just a kid on the streets and brought him into the guild. It wasn't that Mot was kind or anything, but he was exactly what a five year old kid who's mother had just succumbed to the fruits of her own vices needed. Even as Ty had grown up in the guild, he still felt like he owed the old man something.

The leather armor he'd bought(bought?! The indecency!) still felt strange. Ty was used to more supple fabrics. Movement was a necessity in his trade. All in all, the armor wasn't that bad; it would just take some getting used to. He tightened the straps on the vam brace on his left forearm and made sure the knife he'd laced on to the strap was secure. You always needed a back door. Sure, some ruffian watchman or alley basher might find his short sword on his hip or even the daggers; one on his right thigh and the other angled left on his belt at the small of his back, but a knife on the wrist might be passed over and that was an edge that could save your life.

Ty sighed and ran a hand through his mouse brown hair. He adjusted the gray kerchief around the bottom half of his face. It wasn't particularly dusty, but the air was way too clean for his taste. It needed some back alley seasoning or it just was not right. If this was what the world outside the city looked like, smelled like, then they could keep it.

One of the caravan guards rode up and kicked the back of the wagon.

"Oi" ,he said, looking down at Ty distastefully, "what did I tell you about riding in the wagons?! If you ain't paid, you walk! Now, get out of there before I run you off."

Ty smirked at the man. He gave him a mock salute and vaulted out of the wagon in a single fluid motion. He glided between the horses and carts, every now and then looking over his shoulder. The guard watched him for a long moment before continuing on with his circuit. Ty shook his head and made a rude gesture in the guard's direction. The nerve! Like a person should have to pay for the privilege of taking a load off. He dropped his pace to match that of the wagons. No reason he should exert himself any more than he had to.

It has been a couple of years since he had left the minstrel life for the church. After two years as an acolyte, the church has sent him out in the world, to bring the light of Lathander wherever evil hid in the darkness.

It all sounded very dramatic and important at the time. Now, a month later, it seems like endless travelling. At least he doesn't have to walk, the entertainers were glad to let him ride with them in exchange for some singing and lute playing...plus I think they are comforted to have someone in armour traveling with them.

It was good to perform again, he loved the crowds. His green cloak over his scale mail was getting dusty, he needed to keep up appearances. One of the knife jugglers also cut hair on the side, so his red hair and beard were cut nice and short.

He has talked to a few people in the caravan about Lathander, but only if they approached him first, he didn't want to raise tensions. Caravans worked better when everyone got along.

Keeping pace with big people has never been easy for the gnome. Luckily there had been enough to see and study along this trip that Clarice didn’t really mind; and as a bonus her friend, a fellow gnome by the name of Uriza, was waiting in Greenest for her arrival.

Walking along side one of the many wagons in the caravan, Clarice had passed her time conversing with others, collecting interesting flora, and entertaining small groups whenever they camped for the evening. A gift that runs in her family, she developed her story telling skills early in life, and later combined those skills with the magic she studied. Nothing sets the mood like a well timed prestidigitation to awe the audience!

Now, however, she was watching another’s story unfold as an apparent stowaway was being booted from his ride. Watching the man gracefully dismount she looked up to the wagon next her. For the first time during the trip her legs were starting to ache.

"Not a bad idea, that. I bet I could sneak on and no one would be the wiser."

A sly smile crossed her face and she schemed on how to get aboard...

Elceran trailed behind the caravan. Preferring the grass to the well traveled road, he walked to the side and observed the various comings and goings. Noting the mischief makers, the wealthier that wouldn't miss a coin or two, and the ones like him with not much but what they carry. Walking this far back also had the benefits of keeping out of notice of the guards while he ate a recently acquired apple. To him, it wasn't really stealing if people had more than they could use anyway.

That fellow is getting scolded yet again. If he was more careful, he wouldn't get caught so much. he thinks idly to himself. I see the little one has a similar idea. Best of luck to you.

After tossing his finished snack to the side, he picks up his pace to filter through the crowd and find something else to snack on.

Grim was never fond of people or crowds for the most part, and usually kept to himself. He's been this way since he could remember, but when traveling in the open long distances, its usually a good idea to be in a group. Strength in numbers and all that. Standing barely 6' tall in his dark traveling clothes, he follows the group near the back of the group, not too close, and yet not too far that someone might get an idea to pick him off.

Its been a while since he's been to a town, but being a bit low on supplies he's figured it be best to restock. You can only go on for so long eating berries and whatever wild game you can find to eat. Besides, he has gear that he's not too fond off and is thinking of selling. The longbow on his back is ok if he needs to attack something off in the distance, but he much prefers to use the whip nested on his waist. The hand axes in his backpack on the other hand seem useless to him and doesn't quite like the feel of using them.

For the past several days, you have been traveling a road that winds lazily across the rolling grasslands of the Greenfields. Sundown is approaching when you top a rise and see the town of Greenest just a few short miles away. But instead of the pleasant, welcoming town you expected, you see columns of black smoke rising from burning buildings, running figures that are little more than dots at this distance, and a dark, winged shape wheeling low over the keep that rises above the center of the town. Greenest is being attacked by a dragon!

Members of the caravan start to scream. Horses rear. Oxen try to turn themselves around.

Merchants don't have a habit of heading towards dragons, but a few members of the group step forward, size each other up, and decide they're prepared to lend their arms today....

Her thoughts clearly centered on her friend's well-being, Clarice rushes forward, weaving through the flow of those in retreat. "Move!" she yells, just barely dodging what would have been a face full of knee, "My friend needs my help!"

After a few more close calls, and a fair share of bruises, Clarice manages to work her way forward and is awe-struck at the site before her. "Hang on Uriza, and be safe.".

As others step forward her confidence increases. "I might not be able to knock heads, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve."

Elceran starts forward along the side of the road upon seeing the dragon. Reaching the front quicker than most, he makes note of his seeming companions as they arrive.

It was the smell that hit his nose first. Something was burning. Ty slid through the crowd of the caravanners to get a better look. His eyes bugged out of his head. Was that...a dragon?! Ty took a step back, bumping into one of the other caravan travelers. He didn't see who the individual was, but they pushed him forward.

Before he could see who pushed him, a small form brushed past him yelling. He looked down as the gnome passed him. What was she doing? Was she touched in the head? He was about to turn around when a thought occurred to him. If he followed her and they did not die, perhaps she or someone in the village would be grateful. Gratitude was good for profits. He could probably find somewhere to hide until the dragon went away. If he played his cards right, he could do nothing and get paid. That was the best outcome anyone could hope for. He checked his bow and other weapons started off after the gnome.

"I don't mean to pry",he said, catching up to her,"but are you actually serious about this? I mean, that is a dragon up there."

"I am." Clarice responds, her eyes not leaving the scene in front of her. "My friend is somewhere down there, I can't just turn away when there's a chance I can help her."

She looks up at the stranger, "You had your chance to flee but here you are standing with others who chose not to. Seems to me we might be able to do a little good down there."

With a subtle shrug of her shoulders she heads off behind those who have started their way into town.

I might as well help too Grim says as he joins the group Looks like you could use some help with that and I know my way around a fight. That, and if he doesn't help and the villagers die, then his whole travel he will be for nothing he thinks to himself besides, how many can say they've slayed a dragon and with a whip no less Grim excitedly begin to smile a bit at the thought.

Ty got a sour look on his face.

"Chose to?! I was pushed! And, well, I couldn't see letting you face that thing all by yourself. If we actually found a way scare that great abomination off, I'm sure the village would be very grateful, so it is a practical matter, you see."

He looked at the others who seemed to have been drawn to the front of the pack like moths to a candle flame. He sighed. There was no backing out of this now. He really needed to get back to the city. All of this country air was putting strange ideas in his head.

"Well",he said, turning again to the gnome,"at least we won't die alone."

a brave few choose to aid the town, running towards the smoke and fire. As they approach, they begin to see kobolds, and humans in masks looting buildings, starting fires.

Citizens of the town hide in corners, or dash towards the keep, the centre of the towns defences.

Approaching from the south, the river turns out to be shallow and slow, running across it is no problem, and the group finds itself at the edge of the chaos...

Clarice stands perfectly still, closing her eyes momentarily and muttering something under her breath. A small white cat appears directly in front of her.

"Zsa, do your best to find Uriza and keep her safe." The cat looks up at its master, blinks slowly, and then starts to scurry off using any cover it can find along the way.

Removing her sling from her belt Clarice loads a bullet into the pouch. "Where do we even start?"

Without warning, five humans dash out from between two buildings on your left. A limping man and three young children race across the street into more shadows, and a woman carrying a round shield and a broken spear turns and faces back in the direction from which they came. Eight kobolds stream out of the alley on the family's heels and fan out around the woman, who looks determined to delay the creatures for as long as possible.

A crossbow bolt streams through the air and into the back of one of the Kobolds who is knocked prone in a spray of blood.

Having somehow fallen into a deep sleep and being awoken, a very groggy tiefling briskly walks up from behind and wipes at his eyes. The smoke made him thought there was food. But no, there is only chaos and death.
Seeing the group, he wanders up behind, ready to tap a shoulder to inquire about what in the hells is going on. Though, seeing the situation ahead, he comes to his own conclusion.

Coming around to the side, he brings his lute up, tunes it, and clears his throat. After a few mi mo miiiii's, he strums a soothing tune and sings along.

"Kobolds, O Kobolds, please go to sleep! You've rudely awakes this bard with the chaos you wreak!"

of the five kobolds standing, four suddenly begin to slouch and wobble. The fifth wide eyed watches his remaining four comrades collapse around him.

In complete terror the last standing kobold flees into the smoky night.

The woman with the spear is in tears, dropping everything to clutch her children. "you, you...must help me get to the keep..... we can be safe there!" she points across the grassy town green at the tallest building in town.

Ty saw the kobolds appear from behind the frightened humans. The humans did not look particularly wealthy, but I guess you have to start somewhere, right? He pulled his shortbow from his back and nocked an arrow. All at once, the others around him sprang into motion. Before he knew it, four of the kobolds dropped like stones and the fifth ran in terror. Ty sighed. He put up his bow and replaced the arrow in the quiver at his hip. He ambled up to the group of humans.

"You need an escort or something",he said to the refugees before turning to the others from the caravan,"I think we can oblige them unless the rest of you want to go chasing after that...whatever it was that ran off. I'd much prefer to have some walls between me and that dragon as I'm sure these folks would as well."

Without waiting for an answer, he started helping to herd the refugees toward the keep; drawing his short sword, just in case.

moving across the green, with the light from fires letting you see through the gloom, more towns folk are running from their hiding spots to join your dash to the keep.

You move quickly, and avoid any raider encounters as they seem preoccupied with collecting loot.

The great oak gate to the keep is open just enough for people to enter one at a time, guards on either side urge you to move faster. As you reach they gate, they pull you and the towns folk inside, then slam it shut. A guard shouts above the chaotic din "that's it! all doors are secure!! Every man to his battle station!"

Healers come to the wounded man's aid, while the women and children are escorted by other towns folk to the safest parts of the keep, the men are handed bows, and told where to take up positions.

An old halfling man shouts "YOU LOT!" pointing straight at your newly formed little group "more than just farmers yeah? Follow me, the guv'nor will wants ta see ya"

Ty kept his eyes moving as they moved toward the keep. He was smart enough to know that they had gotten lucky with the first batch of opposition. It was unlikely their luck would hold out. He flexed his fingers on the short sword and tried to ignore the sweat that had broken out on his palm.

They made it to the keep without incident thankfully. Ty was in no hurry to get in the thick of a fight. He preferred an easy score, but he was not afraid to work for it if he had to. He watched the older halfling take the refugees out of their hands before turning his attention to the man on the parapet.

"These fine folk were more than equal to the task",he said, cutting a half-smile to the man,"as long as you are willing to keep these walls between me and that dragon, I'll help you hold them."

What a grandiose guy this one is; wonder how gullible he is, he thinks to himself, the sleep fully removed from his system. Dragon, eh? No wonder people were all in a huff. Might make for a good table next time I'm looking for some "company."

"This lot didn't have much time TO be injured. I put most of the little things to sleep. But if I'm going to help, I'd like access to a hand crossbow. Hells, even a shortbow will do - I'm not up close and personal in battle unless I need to be."

Ty turned to the tiefling who had spoken. So, this posh blighter was the spell slinger. Best to keep him at arm's length. Ty had no issue with tieflings or any of the other races. Waterdeep had all types, but magic? That was something he did not trust; sure, it was useful, but even the alleys whispered stories of spells going awry.

"Maybe our new friend has something for dragons in his conjure bag or whatever it is you presdidigia-whats-its have that makes your magic work. Just let me know before you do it so I can get behind something, savvy?"

"The dragon appears to have withdrawn for the moment" the Governor explains eyeing the smoke filled sky nervously "it seems the bastard's plan is working perfectly, the damned dragon got the entire city guard into the keep's defensive positions, and the ground forces have now trapped us in here, while they loot freely"

over the edges of the parapet, you can see masked humans, kobolds and drakes surrounding the keep, just out of an archer's range, while others fill wagons with anything they can carry.

"we still have people out there! And not enough forces to help them all....."

the Governor is clearly a sincere and caring leader. A bit of a dandy, and snooty in a 'private boarding school' kinda way, but good at the core.

"WILL you help our people?" the governor emplores

Realizing that while her trusty sling may have been of use back in the forest at home, if she is being called on to help rescue people from the roaming hordes outside of the keep she’ll need something with a little more punch.

She decides that a light crossbow would be nice upgrade. A weapon she’s not fond of using, but at least has some familiarity with.

She looks up to the governor and asks a favor. "If you could have some of your people check to see if Uriza Tongle is somewhere in the keep I’d be in your debt."

Accepting the Halfling’s handout, she stuffs the vials into her robe.

"Where should we start?"

"Yeah, I'll help. Not likely I'd take to sitting around doing nothing while things are going on," he replies, accepting some of the potions. Afterwards, he glances over to Ty.
With a sly grin, he snaps his fingers and casts prestidigitation, as he so aptly put it. Sparks fly from his snapped fingers as he opens his hand and wills the sparks into a miniature sparkly dragon.

"Boo! I don't know many spells, but they're not the things you should worry about, mate."

After dispelling his little sprite, he returns his attention to the governor.
"Ready, willing, and waiting, sir."

"we are in dire straights here my friends, our forces aren't enough to deal with all these foe." the Governor is practically feint at this point "the only safe way out of the castle is a sly port, designed to allow us to counter attack anyone battering the front gate. But the sally port is under attack this minute! I have forces there defending, but we must win that fight before any rescue missions can be attempted."

He points out the tunnel to the sally port

"once it's clear, dozens of townsfolk have barricaded themselves inside the temple to Chauntea, but raiders have it surrounded. The attackers tried setting fire to the stout structure but had little success. Now they've deployed an improvised battering ram. It's only a matter of time, possibly minutes, before the temple's main doors crumple under the assault, leaving the villagers inside helpless."

At that moment Castellan Escobert the Red rushes up to the governors side. Escobert is a shield dwarf with knotted, tangled, bright red hair. As master of the keep, he carries an enormous ring of iron and brass keys to the many locks in the keep.

https://assets.mycast.io/characters/ontharr-frume-765043-normal.jpg?1592887632

addressing your group, he says:
"The guards have spotted a new threat. Raiders are trying to set fire to the town's mill. If it burns, we'll lose our stockpile of flour and we won't be able to grind more for months. I'm trying to assemble enough defenders from here in the keep to defend it through the rest of the night, but that will take time. You'd do us a great service if you could get to the mill quickly and drive away the raiders before they can set it aflame. You'll need to defend it until our force arrives to take over, but it shouldn't be more than fifteen minutes behind you. There's an old tunnel, I can get you out of the keep without being spotted....."

A narrow tunnel runs from the cellar beneath the keep to the bank of the stream. The tunnel is wide enough to allow you to pass through it in single file. In the keep, the tunnel is sealed with a locked ironbound door, and the stream exit is covered with a locked iron grate made to look like a sewer outlet. The tunnel's main function was as a secret means of collecting water from the stream during a siege, but it can double as a sally port. Since the keep has never been besieged, the old tunnel has never been used. Barrels and crates are piled in front of the door. The keys for the locks are on the ring that Escobert carries with him everywhere.

Once in the tunnel, it's a straight shot to the exit, but you quickly find the lock is too corroded to fit the key Escobert gave you. The gate is iron, rusty but secure. A grid of one inch thick square bars, with two large hinges to the left, and a large lock to the right.

sorry, I can't mark the map with the computer I'm at right now, but the mill is the building on the river in the bottom left corner of the map. You guys have emerged at the edge of the river south of the keep.

The stream that flows past Greenest is shallow (seldom more than 3 feet deep) with a gravel bottom, so you can move along it without difficulty.

Where the banks are clear, the stream is easy to get into or out of. Brush by the stream is dense, and the banks are steep where brush grows. You can move only 5 feet per turn through the brush.

Or you can choose to go by the road.

The mill is about 1000 feet away.

Seeing the roasted carnage brought to the kobold skirmish party, the tiefling cracks a small smile. He thinks to himself, Serves you right.
He pulls up his newly acquired hand crossbow and loads a bolt into it. He takes aim, but realized something: a comrade was felled. Taking his aim again at the cultist that got his face cracked with a whip, he speaks to Clarice in a soothing voice befitting a scoundrel.

"You shan't be dying today, little lady. Rise and shine!"

Quickly looking around, the group notices Ty is nowhere to be seen. Are you going to deal with the two cultists, or dash off to the mill?

The mill is now less than a hundred yards down the path to the west. The cultists are using the house to your north for cover.

it stops dead in it's tracks, looks the group up and down, flashes what passes for a smile on a creature with no lips, then runs off screaming towards the mill.

The last kobold falls with a screetch, Linston struggles to his feet, and for a brief moment it's quiet. You stand together in this road looking toward the mill, feel your heart beat a few times, before the smoke the noise and the chaos surrounding you explodes back into your mind.

It's quite dark now. You're about 100' from the mill, the doors are closed, and smoke is starting to seep out of a second story window.

"Maybe..." she thinks and reaches into her ammunition pouch to grab a sling bullet. Enclosing it her hand she recites a quick series of words and casts light on the object. She quickly throws it in front of her hoping that the combination of the sound of the bullet hitting something and the bright light will give her some bearing into the situation.

Clarice feels the life force pour into her, she feels, GREAT in fact.

Her light pebble is still glowing brightly, and Linston's guiding bolt is popping and sparking in a roof rafter it landed on,

combined with the smoke, it all gives the effect of a high school dance. If the dance committee's budget was $1.85.

Elceran has no trouble slipping in the back door, and the second entry opening starts to generate a cross breeze through the mill, the smoke begins to shift.

Like a 50/50 chance of survival kind of serious. So he asked her, if there was anything she wanted to do first. Like 'make-a-wish' and she said, that he took her trucking once when he was young, and it was the most fun she'd ever had. So, he called a guy he knew looking for a truck, and the guy said "sure, I have a load going to Montreal (about 6 hours) and I don't need the truck back until monday, make sure the load get's there and you bring it back full of gas and it's yours for the weekend"

So he filled it up with pillows and blankets, and snacks and drinks, and he burned every cheesy 70's trucker movie there is onto DVD's and took his old mum out on the road for a last hoorah.

(she survived by the way, tough old bird)

seeing the bows aimed straight at him, Elceran doesn't have the strength to pull himself out of the firing line. As the arrows loose, he lets go of the beam, and in a remarkable feat of acrobatics, grabs one of the arrows that was going to hit him, and smacks the other out of the air with it.

Even he is awed by the move.... luck? karma? For a flash, he feels like he's living in a simulation. Like this was 'made' to happen.....

No time for that now, he'll meditate on it later.

Not eager to get back into the line of fire Clarice notices that the loft is being held up by several wooden posts.

I may not be able to fight them directly, but maybe I can rattle their nerves a bit.

She stands next to one of the posts and yells as loudly as she can "Take this one out first!". With a wicked little smile on her face she closes her eyes and recites a few quick words while touching the post. The sounds of splintering and cracking wood fills the air as she runs to the next post.

"Now! This one next!"

The staff moves in short, precise arcs. First, the leading end comes down on the cultist's nose, smashing it to a bloody mass. Then the other end swings sharply 180 degrees, to catch the poor bastard on the bottom of the chin.

A loud CRACK of the staff, followed by a small crack of his neck. He collapses into an awkward heap.

A little disappointed that her trick didn't work out as well as she thought it might, Clarice is still determined to press on. Moving over to the next support, she once again closes her eyes and recites a few words. The sounds of splintering woods fills the lower level of the mill.

arrows clatter across the stone floor, not one of them managing to strike anything, let alone anything they were aimed at.

the sound is suddenly drowned out by the real crashing and splintering of wood as the large doors are suddenly ripped down from their hinges. A throng of dwarves, at least 15 of them with axes and hammers are pouring into the mill.

with surprising nimbleness they are streaming past you, climbing into the loft, weapons swinging.

they all wear green tunics with a grand oak tree emblazoned on it. and a red bearded soldier addresses you as the others dispatch of the cultists.

"good job keepin'em busy friends... but we've got this now" he enthusiastically waves his comrades in arms into the mill "the Gun'nor says you lot are needed at the chapel.... there's innocents trapped in there, and bad guys trying to break in!"

just outside of the mill, the air is fresh and cool. It would be a beautiful night, if the town in front of you wasn't in flames. And if your ears weren't being assaulted by the sounds of dwarves exacting vengeance....

The chapel is on the other side of the village. But the streets seem eerily clear and quiet. The looting must be completed, and the raiders seem to be converging on the keep. The keep can certainly defend itself, a lot better than the chapel....

The night is almost eerily still. You have no trouble moving quickly through the smoke and shadows in the town. You encounter no raiders or villagers on your way, although sadly, you do pass several corpses of innocent towns folk.

As you reach the west side of the village, the keep and temple both come into view. The keep is surrounded, it seems like an entire army has come to loot this little village. But there is no siege. The army seems to be waiting for something.....

A few hundred yards further west, the temple is a large building made of fieldstone, with a peaked slate roof, and square in shape. The dark gives you the opportunity to get relatively close without being detected.

At the front, a group of a dragon claw cult priest, two cultists and six kobolds are attempting to batter the doors down. The cultists operating the ram, while the kobolds stand guard and the dragon claw barks orders.

At the back, two cultists and six kobolds huddle tightly against the door, trying to burn through it. But their fire, so far, is meagre and produces little flame. Instead producing prodigious clouds of black smoke that are beginning to envelope the entire area behind the temple.

Meanwhile, a third group, three cultists, ten kobolds, and two lizard like creatures the size of ponies are strung out in a mob about 50' long. This procession with leaping and whirling kobolds is slowly circling the temple, trying to keep watch on all sides.

AMBUSH!!!!!

as the patrol coms into range, it passes uneventfully, but just as the front of the 'train' rounds the corner, an all out assault is unleashed against the back half.

surprise round:

Linston is first to fire, his bolt lands squarely in a kobold's chest, but bounces off a scale leaving a small scratch.

Damaceus launches a bolt of his own, it sinks deep into a kobold's belly, dropping him.... permanently.

Clarice's bolt slams into the side of a kobold's head, and passes clear through, striking the kobold next to it.

Elceran takes advantage of the confusion and leaps into the group, his staff snapping a kobold spine, while his fist breaks the neck of another.

and Grim follows the volley up with an ear piercing crack of the whip, literally knocking the hide off a poor little bugger.

Ducking to her left as the blades swing above her, Clarice tries to time her attack when one of the men extends his arm far enough over the wall for her to get a grasp on it.

Once her attack is complete, she'll duck down once again and run along the wall as fast as she can, hoping to make the two men at least work for their next attack.

OOC:

EDIT: I somehow screwed up the rolls I entered initially, so I added a damage roll.

I know her running opens her up to AoO, but it feels right for her to try and run away.

But the cultist is chopping away at the magic barrier. It's glow is dimming, as is the light in Uriza's eyes, as she weakens.

But it's too late...

the weight of his swing has cut the little gnome down where she stood. The magic in the doorway evaporates, as does the light in her eyes.

With no cultists to lead them, and no drakes to embolden them, the kobolds scatter. Screaming cowardly screams, they run into the night as the rooftop archers try to pick them off. A group of raiders is still trying to knock down the main doors at the front of the temple. The BOOM of the battering ram rattling the windows. But the rooftop archers are singling to you that the coast is clear to sneak the civilians in the temple back to the secret sallyport of the keep.

The rush of the villagers fleeing the temple shock Clarice back into the reality of the situation. Taking a deep breath she wipes the tears from her eyes and grabs the necklace that Uriza had worn since the two met. The onyx amulet in the shape of a cat skull never really looked right on the happy-go-lucky gnome, but it’s what helped Uriza focus when weaving her magic; and from now on it would serve the same purpose for Clarice.

if you had killed the cultist at the door, she may have dropped her barrier in time for you to save her. But by the time you were able to enter the temple she was beyond saving.

How about, the coast is so clear, and travel so easy, two of you dash over there to fetch him, and all meet at the sally port to the keep unscathed?

the two groups muster at the opening to the sally port, the night is eerily quiet even as smoke billows from every direction. Clarice leads the towns folk through the tunnel, Elceran shepherding them from the rear. Linston and Grim drag the prisoner behind them.

The end of the tunnel is bright and noisy as healers and guards rush here an there doing whatever they can. The towns folk with you rush forward when they see friends and family taking shelter here, and druids and healers rush towards you, healing balms at the ready.

A human guards-man shouts "you lot, with me! The Governor wants to see you on the roof"

Even as you race forward, healers chase after you, rubbing suture moss into your wounds. Older children, not yet old enough to fight, chase after you with food, and water and ale. You pass a badly injured guardsman, who's handing out arrows and bolts from the armoury to anyone who needs them. His veteran eye spys Linton's gear, and he says "here, try these mate" as he hands him a bundle of high quality, military grade bolts.

The governor's wife, an older, stately looking elf, is at the bottom of the stairs to the roof. "if there's ANYTHING at all you need..." she manages to get out as you rush past her up the stairs.

At the top, you step out into the cool night. It's almost beautiful. But the faces of those already there, are filled with dread as they all look over the wall, at the green in front of the keep.

OOC:

you are all healed, and re-equiped. Anything you want or need (that a keep of this size would have) is yours, let me know if there's anything else before the next scene.

Linston climbs to the edge of the keep's wall, to see what everyone else is looking down at.

[ +- ] Linston sees

"Defenders of Greenest! This has been a successful night, and I am feeling generous. Do you see these four pitiful, useless prisoners? We have no need for them, so I will trade them back to you.

Send out your best warrior to fight me, and you can have these four, in exchange."

The Governor is listening in to your discussion.

"oh my, if one of you would agree to step up here, the entire town would be eternally grateful.....

not that' we aren't in your debt already...

But...... will one of you face this beast? Save this family? None of my soldiers are up to this task, but one of them will surely volunteer if I ask......."

Thee portcullis chains drop slowly, and the gate rises.

Grim steps out into the cool night, surrounded by hundreds of cultists and kobolds. The half dragon monstrosity in the centre. He grins, pleased to see a champion step forward.

"I place value on honour, above all other things" he says to the crowd, as much as to Grim. And he motions to the kobolds, who release the three children. They hesitate for a moment, looking languishingly toward their mother. But she urges them to run, and they do, guards at the keep door grabbing them and pulling them in, to safety.

"a gesture" the beast says, "but the woman....will die. If ANYONE interferes with our contest"

Kobolds push the sobbing woman to her knees, spears at her neck.

"win or lose.... she will be released at the end of this. You have my word."

with that he steps forward, his spear in his left hand, and a toothy grin on his face.

"good.....good...." the beast remarks, nodding solemnly. He produces a gold coin in his left hand,
"when the coin hits the ground..... we shall begin."

he flips the coin high into the dark night, it glints and gleams as it reflects the fires burning around the town. Grim has his eyes locked on it as it comes down.......

and.....

the beast loses sight of the coin for just a second, but it's enough!!

instead of locking his eyes on Grim, they are lost for a moment, a moment long enough for Grim to strike!!

natural 1 on initiative roll, Grim gets a free attack, and then his normal initiative attack!

Not hesitating for a second, Grim begins his assult as soon as the coin lands. He closes the distance until he is sure is opponent is within his reach and unleashes his whip upon him.

the whip slices the air and CRACKS at the end of each strike, but the half dragon steps to the left and then the right, letting the tip do nothing but make noise.

"fast" he chuckles as his spear tip swings upwards towards Grim's mid section, then down again towards his neck.

The blade hasn't even finished splattering blood into the sky, before it's raining more down into the dirt. Grim, well uh, grimaces with pain. Caught twice in the blink of an eye.

He crumples to the ground. Soaking the earth in his blood.

the whip CRACKS just over the half dragon's ear, but he ducks just enough to dodge it. His lowered centre of gravity rises sharply, the blunt end of the spear aimed at Grim's chin.

Grim, even though groggy, slips his head just enough to avoid the butt, even as the blade end swings around towards his head.

It bites down HARD into Grim's cheekbone. Blood is every where, as the lights go out.
