Assault on the Castle

We ended last session arriving back at the bandits' castle that Brother Noj had hired us to retake.

We arrive late in the evening and decide to make our assault that night, before they discover in the morning that we had ambushed their patrol.

Using the map Pataki had drawn, we make a plan.

Pataki's map of the ground floor

Our spell casters are all low level and our spell selection is limited. We have 2 Sleep spells, 2 Hold Portals, and a Floating Disk and Invisibility.

Planning this assault was a ton of fun; we had to figure out how to use a limited selection of spells and fighting prowess to handle an overwhelming force of opponents. Let's see how we did.

We make a plan to use Hold Portal to hold off reinforcements so we can take on the ogre alone.

Into the Dark

We enter the keep, seemingly unnoticed in the dark and enter the entrance chamber, a 10' by 30' room.

Once inside, the pale light of the waxing moon no longer shines upon us and Pataki lights a torch to guide our way.

Previously On...

Last week, the party was charged by a strange priest, Brother Noj of Ross to help him retake his swamp castle and the shrine to the Lady therein.

A ragtag, low-level group of would-be adventurers set out on his charge and made it to the castle, where an invisibility spell on a rogue was used to scout out the interior.

After Pataki relayed what she saw inside, including the dreadful Ogre, the party spent an uneventful night staking out the bandit's fortress.

A New Day Dawns

In the morning, adventure calls Pataki and Blanda the Frogling away but two new adventurers catch up to the group, fresh from Nightwick Village, Spruch the Fighter, one of Mayfly's hirelings, sent by him to assist and Euphemia, a ranger.
