 The gather crowd goes silent as the great sword morphs into Malik's hand. "Amyria of Bahamut has awakened," Captain Derrius states with amazement. "She said she would return when the Vale once again had great need," Baron Jario states."The goblin attack has awakened her." "This is your last chance to leave the side of this false Baron and return to the side of law and order. I have protected this city for longer than most standing here have been alive. Who are you to believe some adventures and thieves who showed up on our doorstep exactly at the same time the goblins attacked or the man who has protected you?" He points his bastard sword toward your team."I will not matter when you are buried in the fields of Grithstane." roll for initiative |

"Baron, you know these folks better than us. If we take the Warden out, who's gonna keep fighting?"
[Any results on my Insight check when the other crew was setting up? That was a 21. Just looking for how they're feeling about this and about each other, and how well they're working together.]
Izzy init: 16
Fargrim init: 17

Fargrim throws up a Bless on Izzy, Malik, and Hraken; plus 1d4 to attacks and saves for the next minute, or until he loses concentration.

Blackarrow remarks to Chetum "They moved closer to the graveyard. I'm sure we can assume exactly what those Grithsane lackeys plan to do with that advantage, so perhaps we'll need to move to offset them. Ned, shall you join me in the graveyard to strike down the undead as they still rise?"
After he gets his response, BA will make his way to a set of rooftops right next to the graveyard and ready his bow, waiting for the summons to begin.
Initiative (if you need it): 21.

Malik Initiative: 11
Oloric Initiative (only in that he will likely cheat and use subtle spels): 24
Oloric will move through the crowd towards that circle so he is closer to the fight. He needs a shorter range for his spells than his current position.
Malik marks the Warden as his target and begins waving his sword to warm up as the first round of combat begins, "Amyria speaks to me of your death Lord Warden."

The Lord Warden is trained to inspire and direct soldiers. Even though they do not like the situation they are following his direction. Red left along the way and returned in an ancient looking platemail (though very well kept). The squires of Derrius and the Lord Warden come forward and ready their platemail before the battle.
Scouting the crowd Paelius and Oloric find Wordwise and Fiery. From his perch on the ruins of the Hall of Valor BlackArrow and Chetum see in the crowd are apprentices of Rowan and the Grave Diggers of Grithstane are in the crowd. The Diggers have been working on cleanup of the hall and there wagon normally used for funerals is being used for cleanup. Other Golden Lions create a fence of soldiers to keep the crowd away from the battle.

Blackarrow and Chetum move to the end of the hall closest to the graveyards.

Malik will move forward some so that he can join in melee quickly but otherwise is ready.
Oloric will be moving as mentioned so he's at a spot in the crowd closest to the middle (needs to be within 60' is all actually). On Round 1 he'll either be doing this or nothing. He won't start anything until he sees how it goes that first round since he has limited use of subtle spell and limited spells that aren't obvious attacks hehe. Likely he will be readying an action to hold person whoever Izzy attacks so that he gets crit sneak attack damage unless it seems more useful on someone else as the battle starts.
OOC: Our asses are going to be handed to us. Everyone has platemail and high AC's heh. Even with +3 sword Malik has less than 50% chance to hit. I'm hoping some hold person's from Oloric help take down one or two of them if their saves fail..Ready on this end

As he looks on at the crowd, Blackarrow has a sudden realization. "It doesn't matter if they're near the graveyard, they already brought their corpses here with the wagons."
BA then says "Ned, do you mind doing your magic on Rowan's apprentices so they can't do theirs? I'm going to head down and see if I can seal up or, if needed, burn down those wagons carrying the priests' reinforcements."

"On the tactical advice front, then, we should focus on taking the Warden down first. Baron, Fargrim, and Mal on the Warden, Red, and Leia; Derrius and Hraken on the priests; I'll run tag-and-release between the two fights. Derrius and Hraken, focus on interference; keep the casters from running support. Baron and crew, take the Warden down fast as you can. Sound good?"
Izzy moves off to the side of the statue, towards the temple of Magnus. Fargrim's gonna focus on helping Mal attack the Warden on his action, so Mal will have advantage on his attack this round.

OOC: Malik won't need Fargrim's help to gain advantage. He will use his once/short rest power for that. Help someone else with that, etc.

OOC: Ok then. Given the way my combat rolls tend to go, I figure doing the combat help with Fargrim is probably the best way to run it for now. I'll have him help the Baron, then.

Oloric reserves his action,
Jario rushes forward covering the 30 feet quickly he slashes down with a massive blow that clangs off the Lord Warden's armor.
Blackarrow see the grave diggers are by the wagon they are opening large sacks and look like they are getting ready to pour the contents out.

OOC: Blackarrow isn't actually in the battle so i'm assuming he'll only respond to things like summoning undead? Just in case he's busy to respond?
