Keenan looks at Robgea, "I'm not so endowed in the high-powered spells department, but Tsaroth here is better equipped for it."

"Sorry," he chuckled. "Might've been a bit irritated by the horde of kobolds coming our way."

"They won't break through, if were lucky we'll get reinforcements after the refugees tell the next town about the Kobolds."

"I fear that those are just the cannon fodder, to soak up the deadly spells, before the main event begins. If we can kill them without having to use our best spells..."

"Why not use wands?"

"Why not. Have one to spare?"

"Yes, take these"

I give him a magic missle, fireball, acid arrow, flame arrow, and prismatic colour wand."

"THanks, man." He turns toward Tsaroth, and gives him the acid arrow and fireball wand.

To other PCs: "Blasted rat men. Don't even have the courage to face us in a straight up fight."
Sticking his head up over the wall, "Come on you stinking peaces of filth. Have the courage to face us. If you are so confident of victory, come and face us, or are you as weak and pitiful as your masters. You can't even defeat a small town like this. Come and face us, you cowards!". Grozny stays standing for about 5 seconds then crouches down behind the battlements.

After casting their spells (see above...), they use the wands to attack the advancing kobolds.

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-01-02 09:21pm

When I see them about to brandish the wand I stop them.

"Hold fire, we want to suprise them. This way we'll draw them out before they want to come out."

and ICe Storm on the Kobolds

They flee out of your range.

Kobold commander spot check: *rolls dice*

The kobold lowers his spyglass. "Damn. Wands. CHARGE!"

All 4 balistas, hidden in the woods, open fire. The wall shakes, but does not colapse.

Kobolds charge from all directions. They are in a staggerd formation, making it very difficult to hit large groups with fireball.[/quote]

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-01-02 10:28pm

I shout "Balistas!"

And fire a flame arrow wand as many of the balistas as possible in a round, and then I crouch beneath the wall.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-03 08:12am

I use wand to fire fire balls on balistas. Tsaroth uses acid arrow wand on acompanying kobolds

A Big Flying Fish · Post by **A Big Flying Fish** » 2004-01-03 09:05am

I'll throw throwing axes at them when the get into range.

Thunderfire · Post by **Thunderfire** » 2004-01-03 09:17am

I will fire arrow at the kobold as soon as they are in range.
OOC: Is it possible to make fire arrows e.g. add a oil soaked
cloth to an arrow?

Not on-the-spot no.

I use wand to fire fire balls on balistas.

One Balista explodes.

And fire a flame arrow wand as many of the balistas as possible in a round, and then I crouch beneath the wall.

You damage one.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-03 02:04pm

(And what about Tsaroth and his acid arrows from the wand on Kobolds?)

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-01-03 02:46pm

Can I spot the Kobold commander?

If so I shoot him with a fire arrow wand, if not I shoot a fireball wand at another balista before going to where the kobolds are trying to break into the city.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-03 02:50pm

After the balista explodes, Keenan looks for another balista to shoot at with the fireball wand.

Tsaroth keeps shooting Acid Arrows fromt his wand

"Get to the gate, and hold it. We're not going to fall!"

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-01-03 07:15pm

Your acid arrows fly, it takes an average of 1.5 acid arrows to kill 1 kobold. There are just a bit tougher then normal.

--

The remaining 3 balista's fire, moments before the second is distroyed by your fireball, the town gates creak and splinter.

--

A gruop of 8 Kobolds carrying a battering ram run out of the woods.

--

The kobolds, running at a full sprint for the last 2 rounds, are just outside the walls, the arrow fire isn't proving very effective.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-03 07:19pm

Tsaroth uses the fireball wand to fire 2 fireballs on the ram carrying kobolds.

Keenan uses the Prismatic Color Wall wand (it is a prismatic wall, right?) and casts it in front of the kobolds.

"Finally some action. You keep using your spells, I'll go do what I love to do." Grozny runs down to the gate, ready for if it breaches.
