Caravan

[*Selebius]

The Vrocks stare at the now empty space where Charles and the Babau used to crouch their leader, an ugly, large beast with a ring of purple feathers around its neck letting out a frustrated screech.

Bellowing sharp commands the vampiric hobgoblin tries to rally her skeletons in defence but how long they can hold against the demons is more than questionable.

Down in the caldera, close to the ruined caravan Xavara is torn to follow either the vampire, the drow or to advance on the still held Vrock to finish that beast.

Remembering Charles' orders she rushes after Ra'zeth however.

[*Selebius]

The Demon was careless and now it suffers for this mistake-but not for long. Emila's attack wounds it greatly and as it tries to teleport away it shows an opening the vampire can use to end this creature's existance.

However the other two whirl around to face this new threat but seeing how easily their leader was destroyed they are hesitating to attack.
Both wagons are still surrounded by the skeletons in a defensive formation, the Hobgoblin vampire awaiting her mistress' commands.

Both Charles and Vara seem to be safe for now, the undead shielding them from immediate harm but of course mere skeletons might not be able to stop a determined attack by one of the demons.

Xavara reaches Ra'zeth as the remaining Vrock seems to multiply, several illusionary decoys surrounding the creature as it advances at the two mercenaries cackling madly.

[*Midnight]

Knowing driving the demons off will suffice to see the caravan to safety Emila steps over the body of the dead demon bares her fangs at the other two and grins.

"Who's next!?"

She gives no commands to the skeletons she hasn't got any military experience and hasn't the fainest clue what they should do, but she decides protecting the goods is probably important.

Charles remains out of sight. He continues to walk that edge between this plane and the plane of shadow, simply watching the scene unfold. He was paying good money to remain out of combat. He would, however, have to discuss the need of having one of them remain closer to him instead of running out to the battlefield.

[*Tomekk]

The drow was quite furious when the other two vrocks disappeared, his anger driving him into yet another charge... which suddenly halted when the creature he hit turned out to be a mirrored image.

"Iz there nauthing in zhis forsaken place that can stand and fight?!"

He furiously begins cleaving and slicing through the images, determined to cull the cowardly demon to pieces; however, when Ra'zeth spotted Xavara, he stopped to give her a quick order.

"Why did you follow me? I cen handle myzelf... go back to zhe caravan, I'll be on my way when I make sure there's nauthing else left around here."

//As for the fort save... his save is like 29... best give a higher DC. :P//

[*Selebius]

Seeing the demons distraced the soldier skeletons advance, keeting a tight formation, the vampire joining them.

Now being caught between two potentially deadly opponents and the destruction of their leader still fresh in their mind they make the smart choice- and teleport away.

Charles had no problem staying unseen, the demons were too distracted to search for him anyway. In the distance he sees the Vrock that is still held trying to struggle against the spells but its mind seems too weak to break the bonds.

A bit away from them the drow flails wildly at the last demon, one of the images disappearing. The whoe crowd of Vrock's seem to step back and they fluff their feathers, some itching, stinging spores filling the air.

The Tiefling curses and jumps back, letting herself fall onto the ground to roll away from the threat. She is ignoring the Dark Elf's speech- there is a battle going on, there will be time for words later.

As she gets up her eyes widen in horror as something starts to grow on her lower arm, some tendrils burowing through her skin and into her flesh- and Ra'zeth feels how the itching under his armour turns into a stinging pain.



((@ Tomekk: A natural 1 on a saving throw or attack roll is always an automatic miss, a 20 automatic success. There are feats that might change this- does your character have them?

Anyway- I rolled for your this time and he had a 3.

However for the future please remember that when I ask for a roll I do so with a reason.
I am also aware of the rules and also how difficult or easy a DC is for a certain character or the party overall. :P
This is my job as DM- so you as player do not have to worry about this things.))

[*Tomekk]

((Steadfast Determination overwrites the natural 1 failure on fort. saves^ And I meant no offence.))

[*Selebius]

((This is why I asked if your character has this feat. Epic Resilience does the same btw. Anway- lets play on.

And must add: no offence taken. :)))

[*LiquidDreamer]

*now Vara casts herself invisible but remains on the wagon. She then goes for her small bag and takes out a small flask*

[*Midnight]

Seeing the immediate threat is dealt with Emila sheathes her blade and glances around to check for any casualties.

"Everyone still alive? I believe we have another caravan to salvage, and then a digsite of desperate people to sell things to."
