4759 Lamashan 15th Solvania, in the Greenbelt, in the Stolen Lands, in the Riverlands (Eric armor day 38/100)

The pcs capture a barbarian for intelligence. They learn about a powerful sword sought by the Kellid barbarian warlord Armag Twiceborn. The barbarian insists on a fight and is dispatched by Gregor. The pcs just walk up to the gates and Gregor just tells the truth. Fortunately Baron Drelev fancied himself a great swordsman and was easily coaxed into single combat. Gregor tears him apart and wins the duel. Gregor is then taunted into another single combat by the Cyclops Vordacai. The battle is very close but Gregor is knocked unconscious and would have been slain save for Eric. Eric launched a blast of fire that slew the giant at a great distance. The wizard seneschal had his archers follow the Kellid Tigerlords. Then he ordered the archers to shoot the barbarians in the back.

4759 Lamashan 8th Solvania, in the Greenbelt, in the Stolen Lands, in the Riverlands (Eric armor day 31/100)

The pcs arrived in Taztlford early in the morning. The PCs met with the Mayor Tanner Rezbin and explained the danger of the oncoming "army". As they were talking a young woman by the name of Kisandra Numesti rushed in and told the mayor the same story. Kisandra also added that her older sister, along with the oldest female of every family, is being held hostage by the Kellid Tigerlord Barbarians.

 

A few hours later the army arrived. It was less than 100 men but included a hill giant. The men of Tatzlford were out numbered 3 to 1. Captain General Gregor deployed his forces wisely by putting his small force of infantry behind the larger force of archers. The bandit archers, with a giant as a living catapult, moved forward and engaged in ranged fire dual. The Tatztlford archers decimated the bandits and pincushioned the giant until he was forced to retreat. The barbarians then rushed Gregor who held the bridge. A spikegrowth spell placed by Glade in front the bridge cut the barbarians' feet to shreds and ended their charge. Gregor then teleported off to the barbarian right and they charged him. Between the arrows and the spikegrowth spell only the barbarian leader made it to Gregor. The Tigerlord barbarian fought bravely but wounded he was no match for Gregor. At this point the mercenary heavy infantry gave up. The pcs told the mercenaries to put down their weapons and that they could then leave in peace. The mercenaries happily agreed as they had no hope of victory.
