"Yes death is something I would rather only experience once. And thanks to the king I have already felt that. Rather sudden, and most unpleasureable, that short drop was. So let us focus on the task at hand and try to stay organized, Id hate to disappoint the king....after all he may not resurect us if we fail" Thanatos says quietly to the other generals, making sure the soldiers hear nothing of defeat.

Darius Flint "I'll admit, death isn't very high on my to-do list today. Maybe we can do something about staving it off?" Lloish darts over to the nearest group of archers behind cover, crouching down with them. He then proceeds to cast create water, playing out the spell over the ranks of elves hidden in the treeline, attempting to drench their bowstrings (12 gallons created at current level.) ranged attack, roll it

((Seeing as how i missed my chance to interogate the sneaky guy.)) Thanis Enters the battlefield seeing the total chaos. He scouts the field looking for the first one to try to take him on.
((Thanis looks like a pauper in tattered rags.))

After casting, Lloish try to scan the treeline from cover with his spyglass. Ne Pah, who is still riding on his shoulders, will do the same. They're both still looking for the elven commander.
(Loish spot + 7 + spyglass that cost 1000 gold)
(Ne Pah spot + 7)

((Spot to check the distance to the water attack, and to see it for that matter
11+12=23 total))
While trying to gauge the distance to the attack Susqueek pulls a flask filled with a whitish-blue liquid from a compartment on his waist. He thinks for a short amount of time.
"Lloysh! Nepah! I must apologize if I mispronounced your names. I would ask some favors of you later, but for now I will only ask this, Would you be able to do that again? Though the weather is not terribly cold, I believe that a sudden drop in temperature might make this endeavor more effective. I have the tools to effect such a change but only to about fifteen feet away. What would you think of such a plan?"
As he says this he raises the flask so that Lloish and Nepah can see it.

"I...will admit that I was somewhat inefficient when I chose my spells for the day. I do not have another casting of Create Water." Lloish says from behind the barricade. "But maybe you could tie that flask onto the end of an arrow and have one of our archers deliver it?"

The water hits a good deal of elves bows and strings. About 10-15 archers are out of commission until they can get new strings or are able to find a target within 10 feet.

(Loish spot + 7 + spyglass that cost 1000 gold) (Ne Pah spot + 7) You rather than your pet spots the commander after a long while, and a good distance off... they seem to be playing it more or less safe. Also on your looking, you notice that several of the front line are criminals...

About 250 yards...

"Well, that's...unexpected." Keeping his head low, Lloish calls over to Susqueek "It looks like not all of our adversary's troops are willing ones. There's a handful of criminals in the front ranks of the elves. Maybe our lord isn't the only one who routinely Shang Hai's foreigners." He pauses for a second, thinking. "Oh, right. I also found their commander. I'll flag him for the rest of the army. Maybe if we take him out, the criminals will surrender."
Following that, Lloish highlights the enemy commander with faerie fire.
(if anyone wants to try taking long-range pot-shots at him, be my guest. Otherwise, we're going to need a way of getting closer to him to take him out. I'm tempted to suggest that someone saddles up, rides as fast as they can 'round the army and drops him fast, but that might be extremely dangerous. Alternately, when I run out of spells I could try to sneak through the trees towards him. Again, it's extremely dangerous but I've got enough poisons on my darts to drop a grown elephant, so I could probably end him pretty quick. Anyone got any other ideas?)

(nice, just waiting on replies not, oh and)
The general is now a faint glimmer at about 750 yards or more. But he is glowing for the moment, and dashing around rather madly. Consequently, the right platoon of archers seem to be moving desperately back and forth.

Lloish begins casting longstrider (base movement total up to 40 for six hours) on himself. He also studies the layout of the elven forces, looking in particular for an unblocked route to their commander.
(spot + 7 + spyglass)
(poor spell choices, aka soften earth, are really hurting my effectiveness right now. I should be able to retool that a bit to get ready for next battle. In the meantime, I'll make do with what I've got.)
(by the way, whatever happened to the poor single group that tried to advance on our position. Our archers diverted all fire to it, but is it still standing?)
