<strong>Ada Stonewrought (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=584077)<br/>Front Door<br/>Abandoned Inn</strong><br/><br/>The fight was over, that much was clear.  The riders were dead or dying, and his allies would finish off any resistance that remained.  It had been a one-sided bloodbath, and Ada suspected it was because his companions had ambushed them.  What had Ebirc and Mark and the others been planning while Ada, Nalin, and Tavah had been investigating the inn proper?  Surely Analise wouldn't have condoned an ambush, unless she had known the riders to be dangerous criminals.  They were riding military horses with tampered brands.  That would have done them no favors in a paladin's eyes.<br/><br/>Ada picked up his Bow and renocked the arrow he had dropped, aiming directly at Taika.  He slowly stepped out of the inn, maintaining a safe distance from the half-orc, but leaving no doubt he could kill her if she tried anything.  It was then that he saw Tha'ael step out from the trees, and he<em>knew</em>.  The rogue had fired the first arrow -- the second had come from the stables, not the trees -- and it had been a woman's voice that had cried ambush.  Why?  They were never in serious danger, sure, but they knew nothing of the riders.  They could have been brigands who'd murdered and raped up and down the Telman Forest, or weary travelers looking for a soft bed.<br/><br/>"Tha'ael!" he shouted to get her attention as he came to a rest twenty feet from Taika.  He looked past the half-orc at the elf, keeping both in the same line of sight.  He had no intention of harming her and made no pretense of it, but if Tha'ael thought he could adjust his aim slightly and hit her with the arrow, all the better.  "Who were those riders?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Stats</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Ada Stonewrought<br/>Level 5 Human Sorcerer</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=584077)<br/><em>Talking with Tha'ael.</em><br/>HP: 29/29<br/>Subdual: 29/29<br/>Hit Dice: 5d6<br/>Init: +5<br/><br/><strong>Saves</strong><br/>Fort: +1<br/>Reflex: +4<br/>Will: +6<br/><br/><strong>Defense</strong><br/>AC: 14<br/>Touch: 13<br/>Flat: 11<br/>CMD: 15<br/><br/><strong>Offense</strong><br/>Melee: +2<br/>Ranged: +5<br/>Bow of Alister: 1d8+1 (x3), 100 ft.  Magical.  Point-Blank Shot, Arcane Strike, Gravity Bow (2d6+1)<br/>Claws (x2): 1d4 (x2).  Magical.  Uses left: 8/8 rounds<br/><br/><strong>Spell Slots</strong><br/>Cantrips- ∞<br/>1st - 6/8<br/>2nd - 5/5<br/><br/><strong>Recent Rolls (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?u=1360)</strong></div></div>
