(tiger...you can say what you TRY to do....the gm decides what happens and how it worked out)
VArdalain quickly grabs his bow and studies his targets for a mokent before shooting. He already knows it probably won't have any effect. (i assume they have helms as well)
"we have to take them somehow else" he says.
(Um...Tiger? You might need a little help with this thing. For one, this is not an interactive story. There are no shallow holes in the ground that we know of, and you'd probably be killed if you did because the things would come to you and kill you. Things go by our actions and Ush confirms what our actions did.)
Talin- it will take you minutes to put on metal armour. Everyone might be dead by then.
There COULD be a shallow hole, I don't mind people making up little things (you can hide behind a tree I did not specify was there so long as you are not, for example, indoors; common sense stuff like that)
Vardalain, they are very definitely wearing helmets, with full face visors covering them.
Aiwendil, when you look upon these figures in the flashes of lightning you know at once you are directly seeing what has been troubling you- at least in part. You sense a blackness about them, a blackness that directly contrasts to the Elven light that gently radiates from you and your fellows.
Panicked men continue to flee form the camp. One of the assailants moves to pull Aniica from her hole and try and slay her. The other two advance into the centre of the camp to engage anything they see.
Phoe is right, this is VERY bad...
Your arrows fly true, William.
tung! they go as they tbud into the nearest one. It does not seem impressed. You feel like you are trying to kill a tree with arrows for all the good it did.
And now, fog. Fog that was not there a moment ago, but the next blasting of lightning and thunder reveals not your enemy but a rolling bank of fog that has come from nowhere. Now you are almost completely blind. Willian, you cannot see a damn thing to shoot at.
Anglormir, you are closer and can just about make out your target. You charge down into him. There is another resounding clang as your shield hits his armour- and you bounce back and fall to the floor. You feel like you just ran into a stone wall, and are dazed.
The being above you shrieks again, and you can suddenly hear voices and sounds in your head, sounds of battle, battle far from here...
And the figure reaches down and places an armoured hand upon your chest, and you gasp in sudden pain... it... is... cold...
