You travel east for a few days following the River Delimbiyr, and can now see the town of Llorkh across the river from you, sitting at the fork of the two streams that comes down of Graypeak Mountain. To maintain a reasonable pace, it's obvious that you should turn either south or north, as a large group of people travelling pass the mountains is simply too inefficient and dangerous.

You turn south to avoid the high mountains, and travel through the small hills. After a day, once again travel on the plain ground southeast, near the Marsh of Chelimber, towards your final destination of Cormyr. Your monotonic travelling experience finally ended on sixthday, secondweek of Ches... and not in a good way. During the evening, as your troops are resting and taking their meal, you hear the screams of some of your men, followed by the shouts of "We are under attack!"

With the starlight and some faint hues from your camp fires, Bedwyn can vaguely make out three groups of darkish creatures rapidly advancing on you, and you already have two or three men down in the eastern site. Malachix with his keen sense can preceive them as well.

<Combat Initiated. We will be using mass combat rule, if you are familiar with it, great, if not, simply describe your actions and your commands. You can also desinate reasonably how many of each type of followers you have in each unit.

B: Bedwyn

Blue Square: Friendly units
Red Square: Hostile units

These creatures contiune to press on, and on the command of the single Shade at the back, each of front line units splits multiple beings, making them look massive in number as well as extremely diffcult to hit. The small group by the single Shade incants and releases darkish beads of fire that explodes among the troop, slaying some of them, but none of the grass below them seem to burn at all.

(Bedwyn)

Seeing your warriors are falling rapidly in number and strength as they start to panic and lose moral, you deploy the instant fortress, turning the opening towards the east to allow your troops to fall in. The archers quickly moves in and proceeds upstairs for range support fire, while your other melee troops fight on as they retreat, although they are causing little to none damage to these Shades. <Moral Modified -1>


Just then, you see Malachix fades into vision again as he breathes down at the Shades, releasing a line of corrisive acid that seems to wound these creatures.

Haraluk shouts, "It's best to attack them with spells that to help the troops, it would be too time consuming and not practical at all!" Then he holds out the symbol of Lathandar as a pillar of white flame comes down from the sky, burning the front portion of the enemy unit, and several of them fall victim to the divine flame.

(Malachix)

You emit your acidic breath, creating a line of corrisive acid on these creatures. They seem to be harmed by it moderately, but none of them fall as a result of this attack. Your invisibility fades away as your employ your attack, and you fly away from the fray.

Blue Square: Friendly units

Green line: Line of acid

The creatures fall one by one as the acid refuse to fade away. Slowly by surely, your troops are recovering from their dread situations, physically and mentally. The contiunal assults from your spells and the dragon's breath together was obviously not expected by your opponents.

Suddenly, the Shade leader that disappeared fades into reality right besides Bedwyn and hacks down with his greatsword, landing a clear cut on Bedwyn's back, causing him to cry out in pain. It was fourtunate that his spell was finished just seconds before the attack, and his units are now protected from the southeastern side of the field.

The Dragon suddenly appears no far behind you, observing the battle. Haraldur incants a different spell and shines bright lights around the Shades, and suddenly their defenses are unlike before, with your men dealing good damage to them. However, multiple Shades in the area quickly waves their hands around, seemingly draws the darkness out of thin air and covers the lights again. Haraldur mutters something like "I knew it" and does not appear to notice the Shade's ambush against Bedwyn
