I put down the wands and start handing them out to guards and charecters as the need sees fit (I.E. Gate guards getrismatic colours,, wall guards get magic missle/flame arrow/acid arrow, charecters get fireball, etc.
"You do know they wont be able to use those wands right?"

It's point and shoot, simple really, everyone should be able to use it right?

"Right, I don't like suprise, I think we should burn down the perimeter of the forrest, that way we will have more time to know that they are coming, if they attack."

"It is point and shoot for a mage. A sword slinger cant manage it"

"The healer probably can, the seer ran off, and Spark might be able to help."

Grozny's going to go and sit on the battlements, waiting for the kobolds to come.

A single arrow, fired obviously fired from a longbow, streaks out of the forest and lands 20ft outside of the town wall. There is a note attached.

I want Quoth to scoop it up at highest possible speed, but not damage the note. (ala a bird hunting a mouse)

You get the note back.

"Surrender or die."

I borrow a pencil/pen from someone, write "What happens if we surrender?" and shoot it back into the woods.

I also send someone to start ringing the town bell to rally the men to the walls.

"Surrender to stinking rats. I'd rather have my body flayed and displayed to the world on a pole. Its a trap, plain and simple."

"Robgea, I daresay discussing with them is rather pointless. If I were the kobold leader, I'd have started attacking already, without fancy messages..."

"It is best to know all options before we make our final choice. Besides, we now have more time to prepare for battle."

"What happens if we surrender?"

A note is shot back.

"We'll kill you QUICKLY."

"Fun," Keenan snorts. "A pity they haven't send their timetable along."

"Usual rat trash. Send a note saying that we will have his head a stick by nightfall. We must stop this prancing around and get ready for their attack."

"Well, that was pleasent. Time for battle I guess, take these wands, use them well. Do you think it would be frowned apon if we burned the outer rim of the forrest?"

A fireball or two should finish these off pretty quick.

"If we at least could get a clearing, so we're out of immediate point-blank range would be a good idea."

20 kobolds, standing shoulder to shoulder, march out of the forest, standing inside the field just out of arrow range.

How about Magic Range? If so I fire a fireball at them.

Tsaroth activates mage armor, and boots of haste.
Keenan activates mage armor and casts false life on himself (+1d10 +5 HP)

Done.

As you begin to cast......

Kobold: SCATTER!

The kobolds leap in all directions, you manage to kill 3 and severely wound 1. (the kobolds were holding their actions, waiting for you to cast.)

The dead and wounded are dragged away, and the wall of battle is reformed.

Spark: Damn. Their trying to get you to use up all your spells.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-02 05:21pm

Keenan casts Protection from Arrows on himself, Tsaroth casts shield on himself, and ICe Storm on the Kobolds

"I have fireball mastered, I can always cast it. Can you cast any spells for this purpose?"
