The one hob getting through was already irritating enough, but now a second one wanted to do it, too!? And the clown lady was having an issue with a gob. And still nothing was lit with holy fire! Qitris directed the smashing weapon and holy fire towards any enemy that was left standing.

OOC: Move to G17
Action: Cast Sacred Flame on e1 if still standing - DEX DC 13
Bonus: Move Spiritual Weapon to G16

Round 12

Finally. With only one enemy escaping it wasn't a complete victory, but it still helped the effort. Looking around the field, Qitris spoke up, "This place is looking a little corpse-y. We should check the bodies and consider joining the rest if there's no others coming."

OOC: Maintaining concentration on Bless until it runs out or is used up.

Azucondie will skip along merrily behind Qitris.

"I agree, but ... how will we know if there are more coming or not?"

"I'm going with the amount of noise coming from over the wall versus how quiet it now is out here. We can certainly leave a guard behind, but it sounds like they may be in need inside, too."

Off to Combined Assault

Donella nodded, but looked back and forth between the 'needy' fortress, and the dark woods.
She wasn't entirely sure which she felt more obligated to.

Just then a horn, easily recognizable as one from Smith's Gambit, could be heard coming from the other side of the wall where the fighting was going on. The party knew what this sound meant, it meant those in the inside were calling to finish this fight. It meant they had broken through and were calling for aid for the final battle. Not seeing any further enemies coming from the outside the adventurers were free to choose, stay and join the final fight or go and meet everyone back at Smith's Gambit.

At this time, if you have not already done so, you may join the 'Combined Assault Force' if that is what you want to do. Please do not forget to post your new initiative roll in that thread so Conspirator knows when to bring you in. If you want to head back to Smith's Gambit then you could do that as well instead of joining the final assault force. You will still get a share of loot from the main assault force whether you go to join them or not so feel free to choose what you really want to do. If you choose to head back to Smith's Gambit then please do not forget to post in whatever thread you return to. Either way thank you for participating in the Assault and for bearing with us as this wasn't quite as fun as we thought it'd be.

Hearing the horn, Donella swiftly joined those headed  --> into 'Combined Assault Force'

Sovok charges towards the fray, the gleam of the joy of battle in his eyes.

Sovok, go ahead an roll initiative here, and we'll add you into the combined assault thread. You'll enter anywhere in row 50, with half your movement spent getting there. Post an action in that thread as well, I'll fit you into the round.

Divok follows the others, climbing over the walls instead of going through the tiny doors.

Just to clarify, Narrator was mistaken in her description of the area. The nearest gate is the drawbridge of the castle a short ways down the road, and its plenty wide for a giant spider. I'm stretching time a bit to get you all into the fray without having to wait, since you've had to wait enough during this quest.

Divok, you can post initiative here too, if you want to join the rest of the assault.

09:48, Today: Divok Gezaha rolled 10 using 1d20+1.  Init. – [roll=1650332926.39568.356698]

Quick query. Where would I be entering from?

Anywhere in row 50 in the Combined Assault thread. If you were in spider form you would still be in spider form if you want.

08:14, Today: Sovok rolled 4 using 1d20+1 with rolls of 3.  Initiative.

Hey guys sorry I completely missed this. If you did NOT continue into the combined assault thread you get 700xp, 200gp, and 5 downtime units. This already includes the XP from combat.

Please, if we DID join the main assault, do we instead use that GP/XP reward?

If you did join the main assault thread then you get the rewards stated by Conspirator in the combined assault force thread. This includes the XP.
