[IC] A Stolen Land

[DM Dougfan]

Nexendia listens to Eran's readied spells then adds, "I should also mention my specialty is Conjuration.  Which means I may also summon a creature for a very short time [Because Summon monster is practically useless at 1st level] but if used cleverly it might useful.  I was thinking my silent image might be able to produce some illusionary guards hiding on the walls which might make them think twice about attacking for a short time."

[OoC:  I have Summoner's Charm which adds half my wizard's level to my summoning duration.  The minimum is 1rnd so my summoned critters will stick around for 2 rounds instead of the normal 1 round. ]

Oleg and Svetlana look at each other with a puzzled, hesitant look.   "Well...we could do that.  It would give us some more time to prepare things.  And who knows?  Maybe Restov will finally send us their promised guardsmen."  A look at Svetlana's face shows just how willing she is to trust that line of thought.  "I'm honestly worried that, if we use that tactic, they'll come back with their whole group tomorrow."

She glances at Valdi as he puts forth a plan that protects her from melee combat. and shrugs. "I have no shame in not being a frontline warrior, or preferring that things aren't hitting me. While I could engage in melee, I prefer to do so with an advantage over my opponent, which seems unlikely in these circumstances." Looking at the fort caretakers, she adds, "The two of you should remain out of sight, in your house. And expect that we will likely need to stay a day or two after to rest."

Oleg pipes up before Svetlana can say anything. "I will absolutely not allow Svetlana to be present when those...those scumbags arrive."  "Touching, sweetie, but I can make my own decisions."  "You can, but I will protect you from any barbs they can offer."
