With three of us engaging Invidian in melee, they are now surrounded. They also just failed their luck roll for Dire Attention, making them vulnerable and cursed. As a result, all attacks against the archon now have 2 additional boons. One of those boons also applies to roll against their attributes, which means Tzal should benefit.Last edited June 20, 2025 7:54 pm

After the black ichor is thrown, Wolfram takes advantage of the distraction and tries to sink his enchanted dagger into Invidian, while avoiding touching the black goo with his hand. And then Lauretta's axe fell on the fallen angel.

Lauretta's burning axe slices towards Invidian, and both the archon's steel armor and corrupted flesh parts at its deadly edge! Radiant blood sizzles from the flames, flowing freely from the fallen angel's mortal wounds. Their eyes widen and they gurgle as their mount whinnies and bucks, knocking them from the saddle. As the horse runs away, Invidian groans and releases their sword, staring up at the night sky above. Perhaps, in their last moments, they are seeing a glimpse of the Paradise that they lost. Then Invidian's eyes glaze over, and they see no more.
Agada the Seer shrieks as she sees the leader of the Unbelievers laid low. The other raiders, who were already giving ground to Sir Reginald and your forces, echo her cry as their morale is shaken!

Since Lauretta took down Invidian on her turn, Tzal and Wolfram may change their actions if they wish, using the same rolls if applicable.Jun 24, 2025 3:32 pm

Wolfram switches to his bow as he fires on Agada, scoring a hit. The wild spellcaster is badly hurt now, and she shouts a command to her remaining forces as she flees for safety! The raiders break from the battle and turn to run as well. Some of them are cut down as they leave their backs exposed to Sir Reginald's forces, but a few make it clear and start heading for the hills as well!

Agada moves another 15 yards away, and the rest of the forces are fleeing as well. It's up to you if you want to try to pursue or let them escape.Jun 25, 2025 10:02 pm
OOC:
Could R3N-L3 go on a prolonged pursuit of them? He's not fast enough to catch up to any of them unless they've got their ankles chopped off, but he is untiring and doesn't need to stop to eat or sleep, so I'm thinking he'd simply eventually run down any fleeing marauders.....Or just keep going after them until they leave the valley xPJun 26, 2025 2:52 am
Lauretta's mind is empty, occupied solely by the sight of Invidian's corpse and the sound of her own breathing. As the moment begins to pass, memories of standing over the dead in her youth start to blend with the present. Echoes of the past send forth feelings of emptiness, anger, and spite. She shakes her head, casting out the daze. This wasn't for blood money, but for justice and the innocent. Or at least that's what she would remind herself later when she wasn't watching the battle end with Sir Reginald and the Vale's forces drive the Unbelievers back.
"Victory!"
The Preceptor stood and held her weapon of war aloft, rallying the troops.

Sir Reginald and your other followers take up Lauretta's cheer, raising their weapons as the raiders flee into the night! In the aftermath of the fight, you see that several of the conscripts were injured in the fighting, but none of them died, while they were able to take out about half of the raider forces.
Agada the Seer will no doubt spread word of the death of Invidian. How the raider's chieftain, Magunda the Mighty, will react to this news remains to be seen...

As the raiders retreated, R3N-L3 sheathed his blade and inspected his shield for any dents or nicks, ignoring the half-sealed wound over the armored carapace of his hull. "I would recommend pursuing the routing foe, but the conscripts may not have the stomach for a full rout, nor do I know if you do, friend Lauretta. In my past experience, it is a difficult task to run down and execute a defeated foe."
Jun 26, 2025 8:54 pm
Wolfram, too, picked up the cheers with some of his own, nodding at their fellow fighters in solidarity, raising his bow into the air.
"A fine victory! But we must see to the wounded, now. Who can help? It's not my forte." He addressed the uninjured conscripts and their group.

Tzal watched as the enemy got routed. He turned to others when Wolfram asked about the wounded. Surveying the aftermath of the battlefield, he walked to Lauretta and R3N-L3, "I watched you two getting injured in the fight. How are you all faring? I can see to your wounds."
Jun 27, 2025 10:08 pm
"They'll get back to the rest of the horde before we catch up. They'll outnumber us too greatly to take the offensive then. We should get back to the village and take defensive positions. The loss at the river and the one here will have dealt serious blows to morale and their numbers. If this Magunda can still drag his horde to the village, then he'll have to consider that victory will likely leave him with a quarter of the horde he came here with. I'm willing to bet either he'll retreat or raiders will begin deserting the main force before that happens."
Lauretta clutched at her head for a moment before placing the hand upon R3N-L3. The bleeding wound on her head stitched itself with divine light, closing up. The clockwork's machinery pieced itself back together. With the ache in her head gone, she let out one final cry for the Vale's militia. Her voice washed over the battlefield, and all except for herself that could hear it felt their bodies recover from the injuries they sustained.
"I think that should help take care of the injured. I'm still in rough shape, but it's a start. I can manage one more shout like that if we need it."

R3N-L3 heals half of his damage total with Lauretta from Shared Recovery. Then everyone on the battlefield except Lauretta (including R3N-L3) is healed by Healing Syllable.[ +- ] Shared Recovery
You can use an action to heal half your damage total and enable one other creature within 5 yards to heal half their damage total. Once you use this talent, you lose access to it until after you rest.

With Lauretta's aid, the wound stretching over R3N-L3's breastplate healed cleanly, leaving fresh unmarred steel underneath. The Clockwork nodded briefly towards Lauretta. "They are your people to save and yours to lose, friend Lauretta. I shall obey your directives for the duration of this military operation, although I concur mostly with your objectives."
