Mass Carnage, Part Deux

• The battle continues as reinforcements arive - 2 women and 3 men.
• Moth hits the spell-user with a throwing knife but gets blasted by fire from his wand.
• Raen gets attacked by a man with a scimitar just as he casts a spell…it misfires but hits one of the other men with a crossbow and ties up his legs. Raen shortly drops due to an attack by the demon.
• Moth closes with the caster and knocks him down with a hard hit with his dagger. He follows up with a punch and sends him reeling. Emmet joins the fray and knocks out the caster. Moth slits his throat - no coming back for him.
• Meanwhile Tasher attacks one of the warriors and knocks him down, then goes through the electric field in the doorway and attacks one of the new combatants - a women with a scimitar.
• Dag goes through the electric field and cuts down the demon.
• A large gap-toothed Shay with a huge sword hits Jerig and knocks him to the floor then exchanges blows with Dag.
• Cricket in the meantime fights a women with a scimitar and leather armor.
• Emmet joins the fray and tosses around the large Shay and one of the women.
• The large Shay, now very upset, starts frothing out the mouth and going nuts! Everyone attacks him - Cricket knocks him down with a well-timed punch, Moth stabs him in the arm and Dag hacks at his leg.
• The last man standing, the one with the crossbow, finally goes down to Dag.
• Raen asseses the situation and heals the Nightwings.
• A brief exploration of the castle finds several treasures and an old Healer who had been chained in a tower.

Back to Sel-kai

• After being told that Bat was no longer in the castle, the Nightwings are not quite sure how to proceed so they return to Sel-kai. They consult with Fargil at the Temple of Eissa and inform him of the Moralis Priest they fought at the Castle and show him a statue of Moralis they found. He suggests they destroy the thing.
• Cricket and Moth do some snooping and hear that the Red Dragons want to meet the Nightwings at the Prince’s Park at the Night Quintar if they want to see Bat again. The whole ordeal turns out the be a setup and the Red Dragons are all over the Park. Of course they don’t have Bat either. Jerig, Emmet and Dag escape the Park by jumping into the sewage filled canals.
• The Nightwings return to their homes and sleep.

What about Bat?

• The next morning, with little options left, the Nightwings decide to contact Bat again with Raen’s herb that allows communication with a friend. Moth takes the herb and contacts Bat, learning that he is not yet at the Moralis Sanctity temple, but rather en route…perhaps only a few hours. The night before he had sabatoged one of the horses to slow them down and they were forced to spend the night. His captors were attacked by Night Hounds and one of them was killed. There are now 2 captors and one other prisoner.
