Gabbro attempts to silence the enemy witness with Fenwick's spear.

Rolls

Spear attack, damage - (1d20, 1d6)

1d20 : (20) = 20

1d6 : (6) = 6

Horath, seeing his companions on the attack, also moves into melee.

Rolls

Attack and damage - (1d20-1, 1d6-1)

1d20-1 : (6) - 1 = 5

1d6-1 : (4) - 1 = 3

Pickles calm as ever releases an arrow towards the flickering Ghost Beggar, hoping it is the female herself that is blur and not his eyes . . .
OOC:
Oh not so good! Sorry team the Halfling is slipping (literally)

Battling the Beggar - Round 1
We’ll progress through the round in the prescribed order … movement -> missiles -> spells -> melee

Gabbro and Horath advance to join Ricard in melee with the Ghost Beggar.

Pickles’ arrow, uncharacteristically, is wide of the mark. But where will it land?

1 = Gabbro, 2 = Horath, 3 = Ricard, 4-6 = complete miss …

Phew! Pickles’ arrow soars harmlessly overhead.

Ricard’s sword and Gabbro’s spear both land solid hits. However, rather than falling in the manner you would expect, the Ghost Beggar dissipates into a cloud of grey/black smoke. As the smoke disperses, the only trace left behind is a greasy slick beneath where she was standing.

What is the fate of Pickles’ arrow? - (1d6)

(6) = 6

Something about the flickering Beggar had put the Halfling uncharacteristically off target, lowering his bow he waves nervously at the rest of the band. Those looking at him will notice the smallest trace of sweat sheen and paleness to his complexion.
OOC:
I will count that arrow lost as it would have shot through the gaps in the portcullis.

Ricard looks around uneasily,

"Don't like that, no one but. Where there's magic there's a mage, let's get on with our travels."

You retrace your steps back to the entrance to the Ruined Chapel (where you collect Luther and the litter of kobold goods), and press on towards the westernmost of the small storage rooms to the south.

You make it there without further incident and drag the litter inside. Luther's torch flickers and dies (someone - please cross off another from their inventory).

Now what?

Luther will go into his backpack and light another torch.

"Well, shit." Gabbro says after the few minutes it takes to move the goods to their hiding place in silence. "That may have been a remote image. I didn't imagine that the Beggars had any magic users in their group. This may mean we get a harsh welcome from the Ghost Beggars when we return to Kobold Kaverns." He shrugs. "I can't see that there's anything we can do about it now. Can any of you?"

"Well, if it comes to that, then we will deal with them as efficiently as with their illusion." He hopes that he sounds more confident than he looks.

"That could be possible but do you really think they have someone the talented?
