Assault On the Tower

It was decided that the centaurs would hand back on the other side of the tower from the door. Jito would stay with them in order to coordinate their attack once the rest of the Mothers can get the cultists out of the security of the tower. Gaspode and Fonesca would use invisibility to get to the front door and hopefully open it. They decided that to combine this with a silence spell would be difficult. Gaspode did not detect any traps on the door, but he could not open it. Fonesca then lobbed a fireball to explode over the higher windows and the roof. This exploded to great effect and soon the door opened and a number of cultists came out, slightly singed. Unfortunately, the singed cultist warriors were not the only ones to emerge. Another fireball exploded, this time amongst the Mothers. They were all still standing and they started attacking the cult warriors. Fonesca痴 missiles struck unerringly; Gaspode痴 sword sang; Levi痴 blade always struck back and Guthranka used her healing touch to ensure that she might last the fight. But these warriors did not give ground easily, they fought back with equal intensity, backed up by the power of a mighty mage. Seven missiles struck Gaspode and he was sorely injured. An invisible creature was summoned and it joined the fray. Fonesca attempted to put up a wall of fire to block off the mage from future attacks, this proved effective for a short time and allowed the Mother痴 to handle a number of the cultists. Levi even shifted one off to a random plane and summoned a horde of insects to bite and swarm over the enemy. But the wall was dispelled, and a human was not present on the other side, bit rather a globe of shimmering light sat there. They realised that the mage was within when another volley of missiles emerged and smashed into Levi. Fonesca concentrated her attacks on the mage, but her missiles did not seem to penetrate the globe. It was a better story with the warrior cultists ュ the Mothers finished these off finally also slaying the invisible stalker. Seeing that his allies had been finished the mage loosed another ball of fire, this one of even more intensity than the last. Gaspode and Guthranka fell. Fonesca managed to dispel the globe surrounding the mage and Levi approached, but the mage teleported away. The battle was finished and the re-enforcement痴 finally arrived when the insect plague dispersed. They dragged off their dead to the centaur camp and rested. Levi prayed for the power to raise his comrades from the dead and in the morning he performed the ceremony. Tyr obviously had no qualms about raising the pious paladin and Guthranka痴 eyes soon opened, and she looked out clearly, though weakly on the scene as Levi moved on to Gaspode. The life force rushed back into his body, but he convulsed and gulped and it seemed for a moment that his body would not accept the life that was being given back to it, but finally, he lay back, still, but breathing.
