In which our heroes ...

We head to Votania to destroy the enemy fleet before it leaves our island to join the battle at our city.

Sadly, when we get there, we find them in the middle of sacrificing piles of stuff to Neela (and Shaal) for safe passage across the water. Oathar is stunned, but after considering it decides he probably can't take them out after they've given so much stuff to Neela. Kyrik notices that the stuff they are giving to Neela is *our stuff*. Gah! We almost go get them, but Oathar won't have it.

In the end we decide to leave them alone. Oathar prays to his Goddess and tells her that he was about to fall on them in dread fury due to insults they had delivered to him previously, but because they paid tribute to Her, he will stay his hand, and she may consider them well rewarded for their homage. Neela tells Oathar that she will give them fair waters as they cross the sea, but once they arrive, they are his. Neela is most generous.

We head to the other fleet that's following the army along the coast to Orian. These are not so protected (or at least no one has mentioned it to Oathar), so Oathar starts sinking ships. The army sends up four wyvern riders to see what's going on. Kyrik dives out of the sun and kills a wyvern. Oathar manages to destroy 5/6 of the ships, and departs.

Kyrik and Oathar report back to base. Our troops arrive in Orian.

Kyrik and Oathar uncover a set of four wyverns invisible over Orian. they wound one, but too much support to actually finish it. They do drive them off. We fret about what to do about the Wyvern. That night, the Nameless One arrives. He tells the populace how doomed they are. Then he vanishes. We think he's an imposter. Haeraan manages to calm the crowd with his 178 public speaking.

We fight some more with Wyvern. Imre goes in and kills a bunch of their lungs.

We see them on the horizon, both land and sea. Oathar fogs up the city so they don't know as much about what's going on. They start crosssing the upper bridge and station guards at their end of both bridges.

The city is surrounded. They send a little group up to parley. We go out with Citizen Trask. Parley. "I am Lord General Terell." "I am Haeraan Andorel" "I am Citizen Trask. He is here at the invitation of the leading citizens of Orian."

After some sparring, Haeraan asks him to state his terms. "Quit Orian and you troops will be allowed to leave unmolested." Trask gets a little wobbly. But Haeraan holds form and demands the assualt. "Very well, have it your way."

D-day. Instead of attacking, they start building siege engines.

Oathar pushes them back to 700 feet with some fire mojo, but that's about it.

Imre declares himself a Loremaster and infiltrate the enemy army looking for information. They seem to be building a dozen siege engines. He finds the big command tent. He listens in on the general. "Start collecting and send foraging parties out, we need more supplies." "The men inside are lying low waiting for the signal."

The wyvern area is all fenced off and can't be seen into from the ground. He studies all the guards.
