The Battle of Telero
An army of four thousand
kobolds stand ready to over run the little town of
Telero, but the party organizes defenses. They organize able-bodied men, ready the militia and recruit local nobles and Occopannac braves. There are several footmen from the
Brotherhood of Defenders along with some Pergaeli swordsmen. The women, children and infirmed are herded into
the church for their own protection when the attack looks imminent.
Before the battle begins the party foils a kobold plot to sap the tower and
the church. Faelon,
Telero, and Massaquoit decide to leave the city. Riding horses far from sight and beyond the view of the kobold army, they swing around behind the weakest point in the kobold line. Meanwhile the kobold army launches the assault. Siege weapons destroy an Inn and
Telero's mansion. Under fire from many arrows, the
kobolds advance.
A few
kobolds are routed early on, but the kobold position looks strong. Only a handful of stout footmen hold the wall. A succubus detonates a fireball inside the townwall. Many peasants are killed and the survivors flee in terror. Meanwhile the enemy war engines breach the wall and ultrakobolds charge toward the breach. There is a desperate battle at every point along the wall. The Occopannac braves lose many warriors fending off a bloody uberkobold attack. But suddenly, the enemy war engines grow silent.
Prince Faelon, Baron Robert and his allies have returned. They wreck the war machines and then flank attackers who are breaching the wall. Meanwhile,
Llaun uses his wand to reply to the enemy fireballs with a fireball of his own. The demoness is scorched, and charges in anger. She is met by whithering bow fire by
Jason Hawksclaw and several of his
Order of the Arrow orc companions. Before she can find cover,
Llaun finishes her off by casting magic missile.
The rout is on.
The remants of the kobold army exits the field with the defenders of
Telero in hot pursuit.
