Korvash goes to the right to flank the priests
Korvahs gets right up to the second set of doors on teh balcony before they fly open. He grabs them and slams them shut in the face of a half dozen surprised men. Well, large sapient beings, anyway. "Shit."
Play the Song of the Crow, hopefully targeting the chanters if I have any control over who it affects.
You play the song, and an ominous aur settles over the room. The chaners seem slightly fazed byt it. You strike a chord including the string of discord, and the sound drowns out the chanters' voices for a moment. They falter, and the wind dies. And then begin again.
Set my staff to absorb divine magic and hold it close to my body, between myself and the chanters.
Then, using the action figure as focus, cast Direct Control on the casters (all three if possible, one at a time if not) and take control of their tongues, making them swallow and choke on them. That should shut them up nicely.
You cast your spell, but you feel a strong resistance, and the chanters continue as if nothing happened.
If there is cover available, move there and then fire the crossbow at one of the chanters. Else, run to the group of Fiddler, Mongo, and Clunkers and use Obscuring Mist.
You step behind the door to the outside and lean out. You fire a bolt, striking the one on the left in the leg. He grunts, clutches his leg, and then rejoins his fellows in their chant. His robes are bloody now.
((Guys, you might want to take cover from the song of the crow. Y'all are closer to Mongo than the priests, and I'm pretty sure it can't be targeted.
GM, please use [tt] for the maps? It makes it so much easier to read.))
Uh, ok. Go find a corner to rest in.
You hop down and scamper off around the corner, still unable to fly with your funny shaped wings.You huddle there for a few minutes behind some garbage while people mill about out in the street, but are chased off by a handful of angry rats. Or maybe possums. You hop and scurry on down the alley.
I think I have had exactly one map go off successfully, without complaint. I think it was the one I typed in notepad and posted in courier font. I'll try that again next time.
Stay out of the priests' line of fire, continue looting if possible.
Well, there is now the commotion up at the other door too, but you head over to the area below the balcony, and begin sweeping things into a sack.
That wind picks up again, throwing small items around and knocking a few candles and such over.
