( Ok in that case :) )

Initiative: 8

Seeing that his friend could have problems he uses his magic to whisper some dreadful things into the one that is attacking him ears, fulling it from fears and doubts.

( WIS ST vs 14 or suffer 13. And must use his reaction to move away from me. )

Initiative 5

As I keep an eye watch as the others recruit townsfolk. I keep my hood up and I still feel something up my spine. I see Anduin and cast Healing Word 3

I ready my shield up and look around intently. I yell out, "I have a bad feeling comrades!"

Perception 19

Dm : Xerim see's a glimmer of metal from ontop of a roof but just for a brief moment as you heal Anduin , With felix moving forward to assist his companion's he tell's Shawn wick to keep look out for trouble knowing full well when a cleric is telling you to be wary you better well be!  As felix swings out his shortsword's swinging twice at the thug with the crooked nose 18  dealing 11 with other other swing coming up towards the thug's belly 9 10 bringing him to his knee's as he gasp's with pain . Quickly he command's xerim to fix him up before he bleed's out saying " we may need him Xerim i wanna take him with us so you if you kindly patch this low born scum up for me " as he signal's for everyone to group up .

Anduin nods to the order and begins to run towards the party in order to regroup.  As he comes near he leaps into the air, landing next to Xerim in beast form.  A grey wolf with a streak of black the curls around the back of his left ear and goes all the way down its paw. The wolf looks up, ready for action or another command as it growls and bares it’s teeth.

Dm: As everybody gather's a Violent  whoosh of air passes near by Xerim missing him just barely as Novo's companion cast's a fire ball striking numerous civilians , as you see a hooded figure gesturing slowly with his hands as Novo readies his light crossbow firing at Xerim 16 from his 3/4 cover on the roof down at xerim doing 8 and One hooded figure dropping down into the the marketplace moving toward's the group as the sun catches on his leg causing a shine as he removes his cloak he brandishes his shield and longsword . Banging his longsword on his shield he issue's a challenge  to the group as he tell his companions to hold there fire  "does any dare face  A true champion of the unther people ? " he says with a sneer on his lips as Novo yells in a magically enhanced voice that is heard in 300 feet around everybody " The guard the guard will die when they venture into this private matter no help is coming for you or your godless lizard! " he says in a deep gravelly voice laced with hatred 

"make this quick mi lord the longer you prolong your enjoyment the more likely these people will run like the cowards they are " he says as he eye's each and everyone of you 

The shield wearing champion moves 10 feet forward as he brandishes his longsword gracefully and nods his head at felix " my name is Deckard and i issue you a challange to each and everyone of you . a Duel of honor  if i defeat you another may take your place but if i were to fall my men here will let you go this i swear on my family name " he says with a salute of his blade 

Felix looking around at all the dead civilians in the marketplace a look of anguish on his face as he see's woman and children laying around in charred heap's forcing his  hands down on the bleeding out thug "will you fight with us will you fight for your city ? " he says as the thug nods his head weakly as Felix forces a health potion down on his mouth drinking it in healing him for 7

Dm: Deckard is standing at 6'2 with copper tanned skin covered head and toe in plate armor you can tell this champion of unther is a mighty foe indeed 

with his longsword and shield out you notice he has a battle axe and shortsword on his waist with in each reach as his silver armor gleams in the sunlight waiting for a worthy foe to step forth 

Vane stands near Felix.

"That guy is crazy. We must take him down. "

Anduin growls in agreeance.

A little hesistant on healing the thug, I focus on the approaching man name Deckard. "Why have you done this? I did nothing to you nor did these civilians," I say as I ready my shield. "If you would like a challenge, let's commence sun up tomorrow away from the public." I point to the civilians. "You made your point. I will challenge you and you alone, but I must fulfill my duties as a cleric. If not, WE will stop you right where you stand." I take out my emblem from inside my armor. The Platinum Dragon emblem is on a chain around my neck. It glimmers in the sun.

Dm : Deckard looks at Xerim pointing his sword at him and laugh's before sheathing his sword walking up to him stopping 10 feet away from him and the group " That will be fine tomorrow at the northern gate i expect to see you there  at sun set. " as he pulls a magical stone from his pouch saying something in Draconic that only Xerim can understand(i think if anyone else speaks draconic you can understand too) 

 As he finishes speaking to his magical stone he moves back towards his group as they gather up with novo and his people they teleport magically away . As they vanish you hear several explosions of fire through out the city followed by screaming and you can see smoke rising all over the city followed by chilling screaming of agony and despair covers the city like a ominous blanket . 

Felix " gods dam there souls and there spiteful country!! 

*turning towards xerim with a look of sorrow on his face as he kneel's down next to the thug* 

Felix" your town is dying my friend your people are being drawn into this conflict .. *he says in a quiet whisper * your people shouldnt suffer like this *as he voices raises louder* my charming companions it is the Scions of Infamy that will bring judgement to these despicable fiend's ! 

*As he looks down at the thug * " will you join me young lad will you move with me to have glory fame and even riches to your name? 

The thug stands up face looking deathly pale from his near death experince and bows to felix " yes mi lord i will stand with you i will stand for my people that i abused that i loathed but they are my people aye i will stand with you mi lord "  *he says as he clenches his dagger in his fist tightly * " my name is Kavir " 

DM : Felix hands each and everyone of you 10 gp each and everyone gets 800 xp  the group will venture back to the temple of rouge with your new recruits and as you see the town is devastated with the city guard running all over the city trying to calm t he citizens and retain control but it may be difficult for them . 

Vane spent the next hours tryong to help the wounded with his magic and his music calming down the pain of the wounded and easing the grief of those who had lost dear ones.

Dm : Vane spends the remaineder of his hours healing and tending to the wounded there is some he is able to save and will live with horrible scars and memories and some who are dying in his arms and some whom are already passed on and awaiting the gods to judge them . There is many all over the city of false hope who are in despair but you are one of the few able to bring hope to them as you move around the city helping those in need. 

When the sun starts to rise again in the city, the halfling is sitting at the window of his room at the inn. He had just arrived, only took time to take a bath and clean all the blood and dirt from his body. He had opened the window and lets the cold dawn wind move his hair. He then raise his hands, his violin and arc with him and starts to play, his music filling the morning air as he puts his sorrow feelings into his music. He doesn't play for anyone this time, just for him and his pain. 

Anduin would also join in trying to heal people with magic and his herbalism kit.  Using druidcraft to adorn the deceased with memorials with flowers and handing them out to the widows and children.  After a long day he goes back to the bar to find a bottle of liquor.

As everyone has done all they can to aid the city of False hope , and gather at the tavern with Vane playing a melody that everybody can hear and it soothe's there troubled soul's .

Anduin is sitting in the tavern with everyone else sharing drink's with xerim ,firepaw, felix , shawn , hertha , the recruit's you have all helped aquire for the scion's of infamy are lounging around chatting with themselves as felix make's his rounds before gathering everyone in the center of the tavern of rouge. 

He explains the situation to everyone and nods towards xerim knowing he will be one of the first to face off against deckard the unther champion knowing this will be a uphill battle for everybody but knows we arent going be alone out there . 

Hertha : " the city watch will be up and about out there i reckon and i am sure there is other citizen's and adventure's out there looking for the villain's out there " 

DM : so what is everyone thoughts ? questions before move on ? 

Anduin doesn’t get the sense of pride and one on one approach for duels.

”why can’t we take some guard and surround him?  Why give in to the mad man?  Go in with numbers and all attack at once!”

Dm : 

Felix nods in agreement " we will surround them i will need 3 groups then xerim and i will head down the center and hold Deckard attention while 2 other groups move around the sides if we can get on the walls above the gate we will have a advantage on them when we make our move " 

As Felix looks around " Firepaw and shawnwick with 3 of our recruit's will venture out to the wall's and get onto the higher battlements , while vane and Anduin will try and circle around them with hertha and  kavir . The rest will move up with us . Once we commence the attack try to coordinate  with the City watch and anyone who is willing to fight . " 

With in 3 hours and everyone is in place with xerim and Felix and many of the recruits who are all wearing chain mail with shields and shortsword's in hand while Felix is wearing Green plated armor with a visored helm . 

With firepaw and shawnwick and 3 Green recruit's they come across some unther Soldiers standing in one of the towers observing the gate where deckard is , They haven't noticed you just yet. The tower is 250 feet up with a door on the western side leading stairs up to the very top . As you can see you see 5 soldiers standing to attention observing away from you . 

Vane And Anduin move through a dark alley way coming across some rats that scurry away and some loud dogs are barking near you to the west though you can tell it is moving away 

though with a certain sense of forboding you smell something very musky and you come across some Wolves feasting on several scraps , As you can tell they were vaguely human . 

(Anduin takes his beast shape to become a wolf)

“Here I am, in company of wolves.. “ mutters the halfling as they wait for their moment to act.

Dm: 

The wolves turn around as they sniff the air with there ears fluttering slightly as they look and growl at Vane and Anduin who is already in wolf form 

With wet drops they allow the humanoid meat drop from the maw's . 

What will you do ?  in total there is 7 wolves with white fur stained with the blood of there fresh kill
