[IC] Rivals (Group 1)

[Mysticsage]

Kryas could hear it a sound ccoming from beyond the houses to the southeast. Now with the immediate threat dispatched he could freely plan his next move . Vlad said that there were archers coming their way that was again another problem. This horde seemed far to well organzied for regular undead. Someone was behind all this they had to be.
But for now a plan.

Spoiler

Kryas goes through all his knowledge pertaining to the city, skeletons, magic and lore for anything useful

Specifically what kind of magic and at what level would someone need to be to command so many undead?

Where in the city could someone like that hide?

Any special weakpoints to this kind of magic

Who in the area would cause something like this

Vladimir then gets an idea. He knows they'll eventually see him, it's an ambush after all. So why not ambush THEM!

Vladimir then began to climb up the building nearest them, hoping to get above the skeletons, and maybe find something to drop down on them.

Spoiler

Vladimir climbs the building closest to the single skeleton, still trying to remain unseen in possible.

Jumping on top of the various different outdoor furnishes, and grabbing hold of window ledges, the rogue was able to make his way up the roof, reaching the very top 20 ft high, and making his way towards the skeleton he planned to ambush.

Spoiler

Round 9 ended, round 10 begins.

The sounds of commotion reached up and down the streets as Jorn approached. He took the time to move slowly studying the structures as he went. He noticed several guild members struggling with undead in the streets. A small group appeared to be laying in ambush waiting to spring a trap. The elf drew his blade, cast a protection spell over him and slowly crept towards the ambushers. When the targets are in sight, using a building or structure for some partial cover, he readies the first barrage.

As Jorn's magic missile flew and hit one of the skeletons, blasting it apart into smaller peices, the remaining skeleton beside it retailiated. But as the arrow acme flying in, Jornathel stepped out of the way as it clashed harmlessly on the wall behind him.

Spoiler

...Six, seven...

Eight. Lyolf counted out the number of unnatural disturbances that appeared in his arcane radar. No... seven, he corrected as one of the most powerful of those disturbances faded almost as soon as he had sensed it.

A feeling of relief washed over him from his familiar then, and Lyolf seriously wondered what was going on beyond his line of sight. No doubt there were others fighting against the undead currently plaguing the city, and as if to prove his words another disturbance disappeared from his radar. But did they need his help, or did he need theirs? Either way, it was best to report his findings to the other members of Galas'nor in the current vicinity-so he did just that.

"Six more of the undead lie nearby," the mage said bluntly, not willing to mince words in the current situation.

"Remain on guard, however, one among them is more powerful than our previous opponents," the elf added.

Spoiler

Lyolf will keep on concentrating on the spell, while moving east. Uli will continue scouting as normal (unless it has already scouted the current area, in which case it will report back to its master).

Kryas armed with his knowledge begins searching the energy waves for an object of enough power and feeling of necromancy that would allow someone to control these things

Spoiler

Kryas uses detect magic searching for such an object.

Vladimir got right over the archer below. Now what am I going to crush him with? Vladimir paused at the thought. What COULD he throw? He had no bludgeoning items, and the roof didn't seem to yield much in the way of throw-able materials. Regardless he spent the time to search for SOMETHING. Worst case, I jump down on it.

Spoiler

Is going to search for something to throw down on the roof. If there's nothing, and the height is less than 15, Vladimir is going to jump down and pound the pommel of his sword into the skeleton.

Looking around the top of the house, you notice what looks to be a couple of crates stacked upon each other. The top of the house also included what looked to be an openable roof-door leading inside the house.

Going forward, Zurgug moves, keeping his ears alert for any sight of danger. However, just as Zurgug passes Lyolf, he hears a set of arrows whistling towards him; they were skeletal archers, hiding behind the houses.

Though Zurgug managed to deflect one of the arrows with his club, one of the arrows managed to bury itself into his shoulder.

Vladimir seized the opportunity, knowing he didn't have much time. He heard the twang of the skeletons' bows, knowing they were aiming at his allies. He jogged over to the crates, checking the contents to know he wasn't wasting anything important.
