[12:52:24 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [Boarding the ships and sailing south, the members of the Wayward decide to split up between the different fronts of attack: crossing overland to enter the town, Hanne, Lilaa, and Rodyon will land first; Sindr and Meadow will be on the boats to board the anchored enemy ships; while Glanari, Tade, and Marjolaine stays aboard the Coalition vessels to treat returning wounded. Under the light of a crescent moon, the boats of the landing party silently bump up 
[12:52:24 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> against the sands of Sarahaa and unload their fighters. The forward runners sprint up the barren hillside to subdue any sentries behind the crest. In the sea behind you, the fleet deploys its boarding craft, the bay too tight to risk taking up direct ship-to-ship action.]
[12:53:25 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa takes a knife in each hand, taking position behind Hanne.
[12:55:55 PM CDT] * [110]_Hanne moves up, following the runners path towards the crest.

[1:04:52 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Multi]_Lilaa rolled: {3}=> 3 + {4}=> 4 + 5 + 5 = 17 "[INT WLL] Looking in the dark"
[1:07:02 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [There's word that a Sveltland mage is supporting this attack, allegedly providing some sort of blessing for their soldiers. You don't feel any different so you can't tell if it's true or if the protection does not extend to you. The runners disappear over the top of the hill and for a moment there is calm, but shouting breaks out quickly after. Everyone picks up their pace and you reach the summit in a few seconds more, seeing for the first time the target of 
[1:07:03 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> your attack. Intelligence on this port had always been limited, but the town is far more built up than what had been described. Thankfully, the extra construction are not specifically defensive, and the development has added bridges and pathways down the cliffs and across the water, but the number of fighters you may face has gone up. Lilaa notices that a pair of structures are at either side of the entrance to the bay, structures that were not mentioned in 
[1:07:03 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> the briefing. More immediate however, is that there is a guard hut here on the ridge that had just lit a bonfire.]
[1:08:24 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Discobered. Nyot inbisable anymyore.
[1:16:19 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Stay and pight guards here, or go through to guard towers in bay?
[1:25:53 PM CDT] * [110]_Hanne turns to check what their allies are doing.
[1:30:38 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [The Coalition forces are overrunning the guardhouse, and many of them have continued onwards to the east, making for the paths down to the town. Ahead of them are two more of the regularly spaced guardhouses, the nearer of which has lit their fire as well. The streets of the town below are illuminated by stationary torches and lanterns, but an increasing number of moving flames are appearing from buildings.]
[1:31:49 PM CDT] <[110]_Hanne> We're cutting our way in. Let's go.
[1:32:08 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa nods. She begins to hurry down towards the town.
[1:33:58 PM CDT] * [110]_Hanne leads the party towards the town; scanning for enemies near their approach.
[1:37:26 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [With the glut of fighters already ahead of you, your pace is moderated. However, only the vanguard stays to engage them while the rest of the attackers go around, and soon enough you find yourselves near the front of the pack at the first pathway down to the town. There are three more paths down further along the rim of the bay, and now that you are closer, you can also see a contraption where a large box hangs from several ropes that run down from the top of 
[1:37:26 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> the ridge to the town below.]
[1:51:33 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa spends a few seconds looking at the large box, then tears her attention away and refocuses it in front of herself. She steps off the path, into the night, and follows abreast the procession down to the town.
[1:55:53 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [The path is narrow, only three persons wide, and the soldiers nearest the town has raised their shields as the arrows have started to land. Because you are still uphill of the enemy archers, the arrows do little, but it slows the advance considerably. Over the heads before you, you can see that the defenders have raised barricades on the bridges and paths from the base of the cliffs into the town.] 
[2:10:27 PM CDT] * [110]_Hanne continues to advance towards the barricade with the other soldiers; waiting for the fighting to turn into a melee.
[2:13:01 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa 's eyes dart around, huddled in the midst of the advancing crowd, searching for some way she might be able to dip out of sight and take up a hidden emplacement.
[2:13:23 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Lilaa> !roll 1d6 + 1d8 + 5 + 5 [INT WLL] Looking in the dark
[2:13:25 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Multi]_Lilaa rolled: {2}=> 2 + {2}=> 2 + 5 + 5 = 14 "[INT WLL] Looking in the dark"
[2:17:00 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [Reaching the bottom, the safety afforded by height is no more, and the defenders steal some shots out between Coalition arrows raining down at them from above. The defense of the town was well planned, however, and archers are secure in roofed huts providing them with much cover, though from the fires starting to break out, the order had been given by someone to start using burning arrows. Lilaa's searching only reveals the underside of the bridges exposed by 
[2:17:00 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> low tide, but it will be slow going picking through the pilings and supports, one misstep and she'll have to swim.] 
[2:40:00 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [By the time the attackers press against the barricade and attempt to overcome it under arrows and spears, the vanguard has taken many losses. Some of the lighter fighters instead swam across the water to outflank the defenders. The thinning numbers ahead of her allows Hanne to reach the enemy just after the barricade is broken through, the defenders retreating several yards to a gap between two stone buildings.]
[2:42:19 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa scans the buildings for any openings in its facade: open doors, windows, or skylights.
[2:44:15 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [Lilaa can only see small windows built into the stone and earth buildings, no doors face the open water at the exterior of this part of town.]
[2:44:33 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> !shuffle
[2:44:34 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> 54 fresh cards waiting to be drawn.
[2:45:47 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa checks the number of rooftops she'd have to cross to get to the nearest archers' emplacement.
[2:46:40 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [The nearest hut is on the roof immediately above the gap that the Coalition vanguard is facing. There is at least two men up there.]
[2:49:06 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa springs to the face of the building and begins to clamber up its face.
[2:50:43 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> !draw 1

[2:58:43 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [In the rain of arrows, one bounces off Hanne's armour. Meanwhile, Lilaa has thrown herself up to the archer nest on the left building.]
[3:04:39 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa darts towards the archer's hut. She takes the straightest path she can, leaping into the air to pounce on the first archer she sees, knives outstretched.
[3:08:06 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Lilaa> !roll 1d20 + 1 + 1d12 + 1 + 3 + 10 [DEX STR] Knife attack on unaware target

[3:10:28 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [Lilaa puts her knives through the spine of one of the archers whose body goes limp and crumples into a pile.]

[3:16:38 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa leans back, letting the bow pass right in front of her nose. she uses the motion to sink down, and then burst forward to drive her knife into the remaining archer.
[3:16:51 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Lilaa> !roll 1d20 + 1 + 1d12 + 1 + 3 + 10 [DEX STR] Knife attack on aware target (Critical+)

[3:16:59 PM CDT] * [110]_Hanne surges forwards as the attackers charge the enemies in front. Singling out a enemy fighter in front of her, she lunges at them with her greatsword.

[3:18:49 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Cy2] drew: A♠ 9♦
[3:22:21 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [Wide open, Lilaa's knife finds its way through the archer's neck, just about decapitating him a bloody slice. Down below, Hanne makes her charge while the archer shooting at her earlier releases another arrow.]

[3:26:28 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Cy2] rolled: {7,2,3}=> 12 = 12 "ABRO"
[3:32:05 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [The fighter is completely gutted, failing to evade or deflect the blow. Although the rest of the Coalition are just a breath behind, for the moment, Hanne finds herself in the midst of all the defenders. On the roof, Lilaa can see that these archer huts are mainly arrayed around the edge of town, the ones nearest the direction of the Coalition advance have their roofs on fire due to flaming arrows that the attackers shot. Coalition forces are coming down the 
[3:32:06 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> other cliff paths now.]

[4:36:42 PM CDT] * [110]_Hanne senses the danger she's in and immediately retreats; quickly withdrawing back behind her allies and out of view.
[4:38:28 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [The Coalition forces eagerly rush ahead past Hanne, having followed her charge, and meet the axes of rebellion with shields raised. By that time, Hanne is several men behind the front and safely out of the way.]
[4:42:14 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Lilaa looks out over the archers' opening at the mêlée below. Seeing another bowman there on the ground, she lifts one of her bloodied knives and whips her hand forward, sending it sailing through the air until it finds itself buried in the archer's skull.
[4:47:39 PM CDT] <[Cy2]> [The archer's head is broken to pieces in a gory mess, and while the initial strikes of the axemen in front were highly successful, the push of the shielded attackers breaks them in minutes, with the survivors fleeing further into town. The coalition forces clear the surrounding buildings, regrouping and reassessing their strength before the next push.]
