‘’Today of all days’’ mutter the driver of the minivan, the Guardswoman having to drive slow due to the ash, all 8 cars leaving a trail in the ‘gray snow’, delivering over 2 dozen armed men and women to what is the first gunfight in their lives.
‘’I agree’’ says Quietus, sent in the stead of the Princess ‘’the Princess believes that a small force like this is either bandits or….’’
‘’Or what?’’ Ask Lena behind the wheel.
‘’A diversion for a larger attack’’ worn the half-Ork warrior.
‘’So that’s why both Dan and Cora are still in town’’ says the young Militiamen in the back seat. ‘’So- Quietus, what are battles normally like?’’
‘’Lots of chaos even with good commanders’’ says the Blade ‘’and even without magic users’’
‘’hold on- I see something’’
The convoy slows down as 3 figures comes into view- the driver crank down her window. ‘’you all are ok?’’
‘’Just fine’’ says Jim ‘’just a flesh wound and some twisted ankles- they seem to be more forcus on looting, but there’s something I need to warn You- they got magic.’’
‘’Magic? There’s no magic-‘’
‘’There is’’ says both the 3 defenders and the half Ork at once cutting off the Guardswoman
‘’What did you Americans think we were talking about?’’ Ask the half Ork more than a little insulted before going to the task at hand ‘’what magic did you see?’’
‘’one of them had a bronze rod with a handle- he used it like a wand to cast a fireball’’ says Jim ‘’dam near fried me’’
‘’Was it man sized or fist sized?’’ Ask the half Ork
‘’Both times fist sized- the 2nd time he used it to shoot into the air to single someone’’ respond Jon ‘’then he ran off- leaving he’s comrades to loot the place’’
‘’That likely means that this is part of a bigger attack’’ says the Blade ‘’The barbarians often used fire magic to communicate, tho with this storm- who knows how effective it would be.’’
Lena ‘’Ok-
- You 3 can hop in one of the trucks- you’ll be safe in there’’
- You 3, head to the Walmart, you should be safe with the militia there’’
- Hop in the emptier truck- they’ll drive you back to the Walmart’’ (the number of fighters will go from 25 to 22 for a time)
- Write in.
‘’As for the Convoy’’ she continues
- ‘’We will continue to attack the looters’’
- ‘’We will split up, with some going to attack the looters and the others heading back to the Walmart and Amazon warehouse’’ (Write in how many fighters will go where)
- ‘’I don’t like this- we are withdrawing to the Walmart for further orders, there’s should be no one between the checkpoint and store anyways’’
The -5 modifier was a error on my part
