A Spot Of Biffo

[calair.livejournal.com]

When last my readers heard from me, we had been ambushed by more of BOTHO's goons, who escaped with Cheleth as a prisoner after earlier capturing Morris, Leirel, and Maria. We wiped out those who didn't teleport away, but - knowing reinforcements would arrive soon - thought it most prudent to shapechange into sparrows and fly to nearby Codala under cover of darkness. Not Criptown, as I mistakenly wrote last time - hard to understand these orcs some time.

We spied out the town and then holed up in a disused barn, resting for the night while making plans for a raid on the jail tomorrow. Had worked up a particularly cunning scheme involving a pigeon, three gold pieces, and a piece of wood, but as usual the first casualty of battle is the plan.

( Mostly blow-by-blow account of a fight, which I realise isn't so interesting unless you were there. )
