Dead Nightmares

@everyone The sound that cuts the silence makes everyone's blood curl. A familiar sound if anyone has hunted or if they have been in the wild is the sound of a hungry pack on the hunt and the sound of a symphony of howls is very close by. It even seems to be...growing in volume as the sounds start to get closer.


@everyone except lich, All of see nothing at first until the moonlight shines brightly downwards as it reveals several canine like forms moving in the shadows at s high pace. They number in a dozen at least and the yellow wolf eyes seem to provide the darkness as they seem to run with the carriage and start to try and jump and nip at the horses
 
At the sight of the large shapes in the semi-darkness around them, Andarra immediately acts. "Great Sarenrae, guide our blows! Bless!"

Bless fills your allies with courage. Each ally gains a +1 morale


bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.


Lasts for one minute/level.

Hedric's blood curled as he heard the orchestra of howls getting closer and closer. He gives Andarra an appreciative look as courage surged up deep inside of him, allowing to keep him at ease. That shadow-druid wasn't lying when he said that here would be other things in this forest out for our necks, he thought as the tension around the carriage rose.


 
Suddenly, the silhouettes of several creatures emerged into view behind them as the moonlight illuminated them. Hedric quickly took out his wand readied for whatever was to come next. Fight or flight, which one... he thought as he slowly contemplated this. Or both? They could certainly have Aiden drive the carriage as they fought the creatures, that might be better than just fleeing or fighting where they were. He yelled towards the driver, "Hey Aiden! How about we move while we fight those things? We'd be covering distance and fending off these annoyances!" He slowly turned back around to the creatures nipping at the horses, causing quite a panic.

"I'll do my part, you do yours, toss something out the back if you think it'll stop em." I shout back as I whipped the horses to go faster, no time for sneaking about now... bastard had to shine a light here, in his defence I didn't warn him about it either, but any learned man with a mind would figure that a light would draw everything in a 3 mile radius to them.


Regardless, it was time to run. If that fails... well... I have my earthbreaker.

Boomhiltcha giggled. "Oh nice, I've been meaning to get into a good cart chase fight... if only the wolves were pulling a toboggan with an archer." She mused, prepping her weapons.

I glared at he round sitting in the back of the cart and envied the Goblin that had taken a seat on the carts roof. The priestess and Aiden occupied the only proper seats of the carriage, up front, steering the horses, while the rest had re-assumed their seats in the back. The unlucky fool who had tried to sit down next to me had received a kick and was now sitting in the back of the cart, cramped together with someone else. I felt the unpleasant stares on me as I as hungrily devouring the rest of the soldiers' soup, not sharing, neither caring.


It got annoying . . . "What do you want? Unlike these four- " A slight nood towards Hedric and the rest made it clear who i ment "- you guys did nothing. By the looks of it you are nothing but commoners and idiots." I starred at the fanatic old man. "Thus, your life is now over. Forfeit, you should have died back there and the only reason you are still alive is because we let you. Actually. . . "


I raise my head, thinking intensively . . . "Well by the math of it, everybody should get one of you guys to serve them. But I guess our little sunshine (pun intended) will refuse such actions. . . so one of you may be lucky . . . you on the other hand . . . ." I stare at the old fanatic and the guard "you are already dead!"


It got silent, the people looked at each other trying to figure out whether I was joking or not, or better said, they tried to find a clue to affirm their hopes. They didn't.


It should be obvious for everyone who could see my eyes that I did not intend to leave any of the useless survivors without paying the price of surviving.


I was just about to say something when suddenly, everyone turned pale, looking around hastily. Something was wrong, but I didn't know what . . . I had been busy scolding my prey, so I never noticed the wolves that had crept up to us, when I looked out of through the carriages' iron bars thou, I saw the shadows of multiple beings creep through the woods.


"MONSTERS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT! MORE THAN SIX! AIDEN STOP THE CARRIAGE! ITS TO DARK TO GIVE CHASE, IF WE CRASH WE ARE ALL DEAD!" I scream, whirling around.


I head straight for the door on the opposite site of the carriage, the others hurried out of my way and I opened the door. I almost fell out myself as my ride hit a hole and was shaken violently, but I managed to regrain my posture.


It was then that the wolves emerged from the woods, taking positions next to our ride. I counted twelve wolves and cursed. Aiden didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. If only we had taken the fallen guards corpse along . . . it could have come into handy at this point (sorry guys, but we neither tried to loot the corpse, nor did we take the corpse along, let's handle situations fairly and not give ourselves unnecessary advantages).


"WHY ARE YOU STILL SITTING?" I shout at Hedric "UP! AND START KILLING THE WOLVES THAT GO FOR OUR HORSES." I was shouting as loud as I could (which was quite loud, I was trained to use my voice after all), I knew no one seemed to acknowledge me any authority, but I didn't mean to die due to them not reacting in time. "If our horses die we are all dead! AIDEN STOP THE FRIKING CARRIAGE!"


I ran up front, taking position at the iron bars. "GET OUT OF MY WAY OR WE WILL THROW YOU OUT AS BAIT!" I screamed at the former prisoners who obscured my movement, if I would have the strength I would have already rid myself of some of them, the carriage was to cramped and they were utterly useless, as food they would have served at least as distraction.


I got my wands out and readied my instrument, trying to find proper footing on the shaky ground. I saw the first wolf engaging . . . .*fuck, we will all die at this rate.*


______________________________________


[dice]10569[/dice] +1 = 13. Guess i failed to intimidate the other prisoners to get out of my way (I rolled just in case)


I didn't mention anything about the light due to it not having been cleared up (for me at least) therefore i will just ignore it
 
"God's damn it their quick, the light drew em like moths, to late for remedyin that now keep it up or we won't see em!" Aiden yelled backwards to the lot of them, getting the few yells back in return it seems... Bah what does h have that could fi this? Hell what could he do? He was driving, stopping commits the horse to death, running gives t possibility of it... Damn it, what did he do to deserve thi-


A momentary flashback to when he was a child stealing from the cookie jar, of course he wasn't exactly the most dexterous thing in the world so it came tumbling down and became firmly latched on his head... Just due for an injust crime...


"...Does getting eaten by wolves fit th crime of stealing from a cookie jar?!" I ask myself, and the goddess that is no doubt laughing her ass off at us... Bloody wasp. "We stop and the wolves swarm the horses! We run and we have a chance to keep em of them, we have to much baggage to hoof it so damn well lighten the load or something!" As the words left my mouth I thought about what I just said... Lighten the load... my mind meant that trunk in the cart... however the skeleton-man may just... oh...boy...
 
alright so, The first wolf nips at the horse and rolls for attack.


[dice]10584[/dice]


And the wolf misses by 1


The horse see's the wolfs attack in time and lifts up its hooves to avoid the wolfs bite. There are currently six wolves up front 3 on each side and six in the back making sure you are surrounded.


It is vinoms turn to attack then lich.

"FUCK!" As I saw a wolf just barely miss a horses leg I couldn't hold it anymore. The warrior I had praised highly so far was utterly insane. Didn't he see that he was going to get us all killed at this rate? To make matters worse, the others seemed to share his opinion of running. Just one horse had to fall and we would all go crashing into our demise. Even if we were to survive a crash into a tree at this speed, the wolves would be upon us instantly and murder every single one of us before we could even get back on our feet . . . and I was stuck right in the middle of this mess.


I saw the next wolf going for the horse and reacted instantly. Just as before with the guard, I pointed my wand, the one without gem, at my throat and as I screamed, not actually releasing any sound, directed it at the wolf that was going for the kill. And, just as before, its head would be filled with a brain-shattering scream, inaudible to all but the animal, but loud enough to kill a grown man on the spot.


"PROTECT THE HORSES!" I shouted.

Yea...but they still have to make the fortitude save


[dice]10877[/dice]


so the wolf makes it by one


The wolf you launch your spell at seems to shake off what ever the strange sound it heard and looks at you growling viciously
 
"What the- . . . that thing didn't even twitch." I stared at it for a second, speechless. There could be only one way: "THESE GUYS SEEM RESISTANT AGAINST MAGIC." I make sure to declare this loud enough for everybody present to hear.
 
Alright so the 5 wolves remaining on the sides of the horse attack


[dice]10887[/dice]


Wolf 2=10, wolf 3=17, wolf 4=18, wolf 5=7, wolf 6=22


So wolves 2 and 5 miss the horses but wolves 3, 4, 6 hit. now wolf 3 attack the left horse and wolves 4 and 6 attack the right horse now it's time for them to role damage


[dice]10889[/dice]


Wolf 3 does 8 damage and wolves 4 and 6 deal 6 damage together on the right horse


The left horse is at 11 health and the right horse is at 13 health


The two wolves in the back attack


[dice]10890[/dice]


So wolf 7 attack getting a 18 bites one of the prisoners and wolf 8 misses by a lot and doesn't hit anything.


in order it's orikanyo then techno then Sherwood next


time to roll for wolf 7's damage


[dice]10891[/dice]


This wolf deals 3 damage to prisoner 1, the prisoner is at 7 health


Alright in order of who's next is orikanyo, techno, and Sherwood in that order

"this ain't good dman it... One more like that and their dead, we stop and they over whelm us... damn it." This was bad... to be able to escape only to be eaten by bloody wolves, of course they had to get in the way, of course they just had to suddenly appear. Of course they attack the horses, of course their had to be so F***ing many of the F**ing god damn blighted shits that'd it more or less look like the harem of a Lamashtan priestess.


"Damn it all, they want a fight, I'll shove my hammer down their throats!" With a strong yank I reel the horses back, bringing them into a reeling halt. "Grab your blades, kill all you can or die trying!" I yell as my arms went directly for my earthbreaker and klar, can't trust horses, can't trust wolves, but you can always trust steel.


I jump from my perch atop the wagon's seat and attempt to crush one of them underneath it, these things dared to come in our way... as such, they will pay the price all who cross me do.


ROllin the attack suckah. -2 god if you don't consider jumping and crashing down on the nearest wolf a charge, some do, some don't.

Being thrown into the wall to my right, as the carriage suddenly stopped, I gasped for air. "NEXT TIME YOU LISTEN TO ME FROM THE START!" I shout at Aiden through the iron bars, staring at the wolf pack that now tore away at the legs of the remaining prisoners that had become more or less my meat shields. I knew there was a way to utilize that garbage usefully. . .


Anyways, the situation was dire . . .especially for Aiden who would soon find himself surrounded . . . "PRIESTES, GET ON THE ROOF, YOU ESPECIALLY NEED TO LIFE IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE THIS. FOCUS ON HEALING AIDEN, WE TRY TO HOLD POSITION IN HERE!"
 
Boomhiltcha waited for them all to get close to the wolves, to bunch up like eager beasts at the edge of a goblin swarm for a scrap. She smirked, and aimed carefully, tossing a bomb so that she could engulf as many as possible in it's grand firey inferno.


[dice]10896[/dice]


[dice]10897[/dice]


surrounding the one I hit, 5 fire damage, Ref save DC 14 half
 
Andarra yells, "Alright! Bomb those bad doggies! That'll teach 'em to eat our horses!"
 
Andarra lifts herself up to be able to see around the wagon. "Sarenrae, protect your humble servant! Bane!"

Bane gives a -1 to all rolls to targets within a 50 foot radius. Do I need to make a roll for Spell Resistance?


0 = Light, Read Magic, Resistance
