More D&D!!

Yeah, I know, it seems like my life lacks variety. But that's just cause I only post after games. I do more than work, clean, eat, sleep, and watch tv.... cause I play D&D once a week! And Mage once a week, too. So there. I'm not boring. Really.

Anyway, last night our fearless party encountered a small pack of starving wolves. They overcame the challenge easily. As per normal, the monk was the only one injured. Well, the monk and the horses. But the cleric healed them, so all was well. A few days later, they came to a town. The men outside told them of plague within and refused offers of aid, blaming an uprising in the townspeople's fear of strangers. However, the ranger heard what he thought were cries of help from inside, so while the monk created a diversion, the warlock slipped into the wheat field and went around the town and in by walking over the walls with his mad magic skills. He met some children, who fled, and a woman, who even though she was obviously terrified by the lizard man, pleaded with him to help her town. The bandits outside were keeping them from getting food, and their companions had kidnapped most of the girls between ages 12 and 24. The kobald gave the woman some food, which she passed on to the children, and left to inform his companions of what was going on. He did so, and agreed to lie atop the wall and fire down upon the enemy from on high. He grabbed more food and went back into the town. The woman he'd met introduced herself as Marian and asked him to go before the council of elders. They pleaded with him to save their girls, and he agreed. He also passed around a few days worth of his trail rations. Then he climbed the wall to await his companions attack.

They charged on horseback, attempting to trample two of the bandits. One of them was knocked prone, the other managed to resist. The ranger continued on with the horses while the cleric and the monk jumped off. The monk was severly wounded and retreated, leaving the cleric to fend for himself. The warlock didn't have much luck with his sniping, and the cleric went down, leaving the monk alone. The ranger reentered the combat by firing upon the enemy. The cleric managed to rouse himself (yay action points!) and joined the monk. They managed to mop the bandits up, leaving them all alive for questioning. The cleric questioned them, then branded them as outlaws. When they went into the town, the kobald was swept up onto a group of young men's shoulders, and he was hailed as their hero.

Marian agreed to lead the warlock and the ranger to the caves so that they could get an idea of what they would be facing. While the kobald went and looked, the human ranger stayed with the girl and chatted her up. Then the kobald returned, and they headed back to inform their companions of what they'd learned.

And it was getting late, so we scened there.
