Hastos glances quickly around the dragon army soldiers to see if he recognizes anything that might be of use. Their position makes it difficult to see.
Hastos raises a hand up, and in a gruff voice he calls back to the soldiers with a common Dragon Army response “Stay your weapons! Under what rank and authority do you claim this land?”
Merkas pulls the reigns on Barkly to stop them in place. Glancing over to Hastos as he addresses the soldiers he turns the strider to look on the other ridge, making no move to run. He shifts in his saddle as he thinks through how he could talk to his friends without alerting the soldiers. After a moment he realizes the message spells are already waiting for the words to be sent without him doing anything. (Cast Message using subtle spell, Arcana Nat 20+1 for warcaster feat) His voice is heard as a whisper as he thinks through the spell. “Guys, I can make it all dark again like the cults sewer, I will hold the spell for your signal. Also think I can get behind the commander in a flash, seems my sister helped with quick moves”
(holding Darkness spell to be cast on a rock nearby their feet, this is to be cast as soon as the conversation doesn’t seem to be going to well or his friends give him a signal to do so)
Sera look at the dragonarmy soldiers. And feeling her armor tighten around her. Mike it wants to protect her.
-why you want to stand next to the most likely strongest fighter Merkas? Is it wise. The darkness on the officer seems smart. Then we go around the cliff , climb it up and face the soldiers- she reply mentally to Merkas.
She do worry that Orr and Buckeran might get hurt and decide to try a bluff and at least draw fire at herself. She pull out her blade...not to toss it down. She ignites it. It flares to life with a crackling buzz. And shield ready.
She starts to slowly walk north where it seems to be a way up. Waiting for the offiser to answer Hastos. " Answer the question!" She barks out appearing all badass.

The officer furrows his brow at Hastos. "I am an officer of the Green Dragon Army and you are in no position to tell me or my soldiers what to do." He raises his hands to indicate that he's about to give the order for his soldiers to fire.

On her lips a Shield of faith gets prepared.
( Sera walk north 30 feet and draw attention )
The moment Sera's sword bursts into holy flame, the officer signals to fire!
Dragon Army Soldiers Teal, Green, and Red hurl their javelins at Sera!
Teal Attacks (with Advantage): 22 (miss) Green Attacks (with Advantage): 14 (miss) Red Attacks (with Advante): 19 (miss)
Sera's armor responds to the task with suprising effectiveness, anticipating where the strikes land and hardening accordingly. The first strike pounds into Sera's shoulder with bruising force, enough to make you step back and brace yourself, but otherwise, the javelin bounces off your living armor and thuds into the sand! The second javelin collides into your hip, but again the living armor remains steadfast! The javelin rebounds off your hip and impales itself into the sand behind you! The third attack pings against your shield with the sound of a tuning fork, and flips end over end high into the air before plopping uselessly against a stone!
Dragon Army Soldiers Blue and Black, undeterred, launch their javelins at Hastos!
Blue Attacks (with Advantage): 8 (miss) Black Attacks (with Advantage): 11 (miss)
Dragon Soldier Blue's javelin is slow and clumsy, and easily swiped away by Hastos's mighty greataxe! The javelin shatters in two and splinters spray into the air! The second attack comes in an arcing lob and manages to sweep over the swinging axe, but only glances off Hastos's adamantine clad armor.
But the officer's eyes are trained on Hastos, and he fires decisively towards Hastos's chest!
The bolt from the heavy crossbow ignites midair and finds purchase between the barely perceptible slits in your mighty armor, shearing and searing into Hastos' gut! Though the damage is manageable, the burning sensation of the fiery assault scorches the wound and the smelly of burnt flesh assaults your nostrils! Without hesitation, the Officer whips out another bolt and begins to load it while the soldiers draw their longswords and charge down the slippery dunes, cutting off your advance through the pass and surrounding Merkas, Buckeran, and Barkly!
Orr the Unseen wastes little time to launch their own attacks! The veins in their hands crackle with arcane energy, and evanescent blue light launches from their fingertips!
Orr Attacks Red (Arcane Burst): 21 (Hits) Damage: 19 (Force, DAS Red is Bloodied) Orr Attacks Blue (Arcane Burst): 16 (Miss) Orr Attacks Blue (Arcane Burst): 7 (Miss)
The first mystic bullet slams into Dragon Army Soldier Red's scale mail, shattering several of the links and drops the soldier to his knees! Gasping hard from the rib-crunching eruption, he rises back up on shaky knees, and grits his sand-worn teeth. Orr switches targets, attempting to protect Buckeran. The soldier sees the devastation caused by the unexpectedly formidable mage, and he raises his shield as two shimmering bullets fly towards him! Both leave ominous rounded welts in his shield before dissipating into glittering light! Orr's face remains calm and emotionless as they reach for their Lightning Javelin.
Buckeran, not nervous, but defintely agitated, reaches for a strange, looking jug that he bares towards Merkas! Around its middle are several crystal buttons, and he presses a dull green one. "Expose your knife tips, my boy! I can coat them in poison!" With that, he pops the cork, ready to douse your blades.
Buckeran readies to pour Basic Poison. Dawnbound is up!
Hastos reaches down and snaps the end of the bolt extruding from his stomach off and throws it to the ground, never breaking eye contact with the Dragon Army officer. “Fuego” he says and his great axe erupts into flames. He sweeps the axe around at the red soldier (ToHit: 18, Dam:12 + 5 Flame damage). He then throws a hand out in the direction of the officer and a bolt of fire erupts from his hand. (ToHit: 11, Damage: 7).
Hastos's axe rips through Dragon Army Soldier Red, searing flesh and armor as it cuts, and the soldier falls dead!
The Officer whips out his shield just in time as torrid flame blasts against the dunes shielding him! As the embers settle, he watches you with keen interest.

Loyalty Begets Honour
The corner of Hastos’ mouth creeps up slightly and he gives Merkas a knowing look.
