The heroes returned from their latest job eager to claim their reward for killing the goblin war party. When they got back they noticed (eventually after some terrible perception rolls) that the town was preparing for a fight. The mayor told them the Black Foot was coming to destroy the town and could they help defend the town. They said yes and manned a wall against the invaders. Goblins assaulted their position, climbing ladders they swarmed the party. Unable to use their area effect spells due to the close proximity to each other it came down to arrows and hand weapons. Ianthe used Shellahly on her quarter staff to deadly effect, Azarok and Downhead fired arrows before engaging with their hand weapons. Ragnum did what Ragnum does best. The walls of the town were battered and one fell to the goblins but eventually the party killed the goblins attacking their wall and the goblin horde retreated. A massive Orc War Chief could be seen in the distance. He had a painted black foot on his chest,he was trying to get the goblins to attack again but they wouldn't. He charged forward determined to take the town himself. He hacked down 3 town guards. Ragnum chraved forward and was hit twice and collapsed. Downhead and Azorak fired arrows, Ianthe changed into a Panther and leapt of the battlements onto the orc. Biting and clawing him, also sending him crashing to the floor. He got back up and tried to hit the panther but missed. Downhead cast fog on the battle so no one could see. Azorak ran over to Ragnum and revived him. He jumped to life and started hitting the orc. Eventually an arrow from Downhead felled the orc and they were victorious. The town came out in celebration. The mayor bestowed magic items onto the heroes and gave them a house in town as a rewared. Then some heavy cavalry arrived and a Paladin called Danse said he came with aid from the King. He also asked the adventurers to head to Fort Black Stone to find out what they know about the Black Skull as they watch the Blackstone pass and many an evil thing comes through there.
Epic battle that!! Well done guys!
