The company surged forward to cut down the first line of defenders outside the southern fort as quickly as possible, but while their blades found marks, the enemy gave as good as they got, and the company's fighters came away nearly as bloody as their foes.

All was not so evenly matched, though, for with her tongue quickened by Azadokht's performance, Sophia incanted twice from her tome, and with two flashes of terrible light, the ballistas atop the fort's walls exploded into clouds of splinters before their archers could even take station.

"Reinforcements, get out there!" the captain of the southern fort shouted, snarling at the fresh troops as they emerged from the garrison and took to the field. Until the enemy seized the fort beneath him, Hodeskall troops would surely continue pouring into their lines with the relentless force of a blizzard.

"Eat my dust!"

Move to G32, Attack Hodeskall 31 with Halberd. Defend as a bonus action.

Edited by DefRevenge24601 on Sep 21st 2018 at 10:03:44 AM

Recommending that Diane moves to K35 and heals Talbot with her Mend Staff.

Azadokht witnesses Sophia's blasts of light and hears the explosion of shattering wood and metal as she dances. She feels a thrill run through her, her motions coming as naturally as walking, and, even with all her time under the desert sun, she barely even feels the cold anymore. Azadokht cannot help but grin. The Radiant has, it seems, found her flow.

The others have moved forward and so she leaves the dance, transitioning smoothly into a forward dash. As she does so she looks over the battlefield ahead, her gaze immediately honing in on the heavily-armoured spearman in amongst the company's line.

Azadokht's axes go back to her belt, her right hand leaving it empty and her left staying, grasping the tome there. She begins muttering the incantations, memorised over months of practice, even as she weaves through her companions and closes with the enemy, feeling the light build within her form. Mages, of course, being attuned to the flow of magical energy and practiced in its use, tend to build up a certain resistance to it.

Not so for the average spear-wielder.

Azadokht plants her feet, skidding across the snow just as she has upon Kambacha's sands, and comes to a halt directly in front of the ironclad soldier. Gazing upon her foe, she extends her free hand and, with a vengeful cry, lets the lightning surge forth.

Azadokht dashes, moving to K32 and attacking Hodeskall 24 with the Lightning Tome.

Talbot shielded Eighty-Six from the brunt of that ice burst spell. Luckily, he was wearing that Angelic Robe. Still, it made the cold climate worse than usual. He was healed back to normal health. With this in mind, Talbot moves in for the kill.

After being healed by Diane, Move to I35 and attack Hodeskall 28 with Killer Lance.

Edited by josh6243 on Sep 21st 2018 at 8:21:27 AM

...That mage looked like trouble (not that this was unusual; enemy casters usually were). The new cavalryman likely couldn't handle him alone, with the cold from the spell he'd been hit with slowing his movements; better give him support.

If Hodeskall 28 is not dead: Move to H34 and attack Hodeskall 28 with Francesca. Otherwise, if one of the other Hodeskall outside the fort is not dead, go attack the closest one with Francesca. If all Hodeskall outside the fort are dead, move adjacent to Diane, trade Elixir for one of her Vulneraries, and use Vulnerary.

If the Gate hasn't been taken down by anyone's action then move to F31 and use Pick Lock on the Gate. If the Gate has been taken down by someone's action then move to E30 and attack Hode-skall 25.

Move to G31 attack gate with Wind Tome.

The enemy's advance did nothing to deter the company, and they broke through the defensive lines like a hot sword through snow. Brendan cut down a horse and its rider together in one fel strike of his axe, while Azadokht and Bette's magics met no resistance from their armored targets. Striding confidently forward between them, Sophia raised one hand, and blades of air smashed against the enemy gate like a hurricane, tearing it apart and allowing Railen to zip forward like a lightning bolt, and end an archer's life just as swiftly.

Talbot and Grendan, however, found themselves vexed by the mage they had cornered. He had taken refuge in a stand of trees, and while Grendan managed to strike true, it wasn't enough to slay the mage, and his icy magic left both men's bodies feeling numb.

  • Grendan is mortally wounded (0/2)!
• Hodeskall 32 appears at C31 and deploys to F30.
• Hodeskall 33 appears at C31 and deploys to F32.

The surviving archer dashed forward, knocking an arrow as she slogged through waist-deep snow, and loosed it against the horrible flying beast that was terrorizing her ally. The arrow pierced scale and sinew, and as Heath shrieked vengefully, the mage took advantage of the distraction, blasting the rider and mount with another burst of arcane frost, sending the duo tumbling to earth, where the blanket of snow provided only cold comfort to their landing.

More reinforcements emerged from the fort garrison.

"Stop 'em here, you layabouts! They'll never reach the second fort!"

The soldier collapses. Whatever injuries might have resulted from Azadokht's shock are hidden by all-encasing armour, a situation which the dancer is perfectly happy with as she launches herself away again, leaving the horrifying smell of charred flesh behind.

And so, the gate utterly obliterated, she sees the fort's commander: a titan of a man showing the rippling muscle of a stallion and wielding a greatsword with all the gravitas of a reed switch.

He will, Azadokht senses, take some bringing down, more than her magic or axes are capable of - certainly neither alone will do the job. Thus she begins her dance again, drawing once more upon the ancient forms of renewal.

Azadokht moves to H31 and performs a Dance of Stamina for Sophia.

Recommending that Diane waits for Talbot to move, moves to I35 and attacks Hodeskall 28 with the Sun Blade Light Sword.

Edited by Existential_Tempest on Sep 25th 2018 at 12:13:10 PM

With his clever foot work and sneaking skill Railen was now positioned behind the swordmaster veteran which allowed him to stick the cursed, dark empowered sword deep into the soldier's back.

As the enemy captain in the southern fort fell to Sophia's attacks, the event was witnessed by more than just the company and the defending army. From atop the cliff to the east of the company's position, a spyglass peered from a cover of brush.

"They just took the first fort, sir," a woman in chain mail said, passing the instrument to a dark-haired man in a longcoat.

"You know, I should really be more surprised by all this," he said to no one in particular, "but I won't argue with it right now. This is the best chance we've had here in weeks. Look alive, people. We've got a job to do."

Azadokht continues her dance, her glorious, harmonious dance. She worries, of course, for her wounded teammates but that is almost subsumed by the joy of beauty in motion; the cold does not even touch her. Besides, that motion will help them, invoking the ancient enchantments of the fallen empire of Kambacha in their service.

She also briefly notes the sound of clashing metal echoing from the cliff above.

Azadokht sends the Dragonshield to the convoy; she then moves to F31, performs a Dance of Stamina for Sophia and continues to G29.

Recommending that Diane moves to H33 and heals Grendan with the Mend Staff.
