Vindsval Continues down the Right Path towards Lindy.

"And you would save her and let more like her suffer by us not confronting this evil with our full strength? We know the monsters are leaving, we do not if that was this child's shout."

[StickFig]

"But we know it was a child's shout. We don't know much now, but that there is darkness and fear. Who knows? This could be a maze, Master Grunch, and you could be in league with whatever lies ahead, urging us into their trap. We take a risk either way; let them go and let us move on ahead, and quickly."

"Is that an accusation? Careful little one, I have suffered far more than you will ever know and I will not tolerate to suffer that charge as will. We move on, pray to whatever deity you serve that they see us through." The orc moves ahead with the wolf following behind.

QM Note: PM's will be sent out soon.

Matthias shakes his head as he follows the orc. What touchy arrogance, he thinks, to be so stuck up about facts, if he has suffered worse.

Thalion follows the orc, hoping the others will get to Lindy in time.

Thalion can't seem to land any of hits and takes two bad strikes from Krampus. Mux's assailant comes up empty handed as the hound bears no gold. Matthias manages to restore some of his health as more mechanical soldiers begin to arrive. Thankfully Vindsval and Monk Pretzel soon show up, though the sound of more footsteps behind them can be clearly heard.

Thalion uses a stored grand potion on himself and attacks Krampus with darkness spell from back row (twice). Then, he attacks tin soldiers (twice) with darkness spell from back row.

"Dont worry about that Matthias here can heal you and focus on attack, but maybe you should attack Dark Dwarf A  and Mux should focus on Dark Dwarf B."

Same battle order.

Thalion repeats his attack on Krampus (darkness spell, twice, from back row) and then, repeats it again.

"Grunch, you can focus on Dwarf B, while Mux focuses on Dwarf A, and stick to the back; and Matthias should heal whoever is in need of healing. Monk you can try to weaken those toy soldiers."

Thalion unleashes a barrage of darkness spells upon the enemy as Vindval tries to poison the blades of his companions to no avail.

Party Leader, Please determine the battle order.

[Palathadric]

I drink a mead and repeat my attack on the toy soldiers before attacking Dark Dwarf D, also with Heaven and Hell from the Front Row.

[StickFig]

Matthias drinks his Hero`s cocktail, then attacks Krampus.

> Matthias: Hero`s Cocktail vs. self
> Matthias: Extraordinaire v. Krampus

[-obelix-]

Thalion repeats his attack on Krampus, and then repeats it again, both from back row.

"Grunch, you and Mux can both help me with Krampus with the frontal assault."

Same battle order.

[Asphalt]

Thank you Golden Lady.

Vindsval replaces the scroll for another time and turns his attention towards Krampus.

He attacks Krampus TWICE from the Back Row with the Wrath Lance

[Waterbrick Down]

The Party focus fires on Krampus as the Dark Dwarf does his best to avoid the attacks. Thalion unleashes another flurry of arcane swordsmanship as Grunch stabs the monster with his blade, Mux close behind crunching down on the Dark Dwarf's arm. Vindsval tries to stop Krampus as he pops another canister of hexing gas spraying the majority of the party. Monk Pretzel brings down one of the dwarfs but still can't seem to pierce the defenses of the toy soldiers. Matthias drains a Hero's Cocktail and then lets loose a firestorm of bullets and flames severely injuring a good majority of the enemies and finally breaking the bulwarks of the toy soldiers. Things are not all well though as Grunch falls to the blades of one of the dwarves and the eyes of some of the other Party members begin to cloud over as they draw their weapons on their companions.
