B9 Castle Caldwell and Beyond
This will focus on the beyond.
Alzar has finished taking some goods back the wagon and Estaish is left behind to load and get the steeds ready, because after another trip, they plan to move off.
As Alzar returns to Athaly. Antonito Radu, the new leader of House Radu in Exile, and twenty hired thugs ambush Alzar and Megala. Arrows fly out and the horse is hit many times. At the same time, Antonito’s cleric casts Hold Person on Alzar. Alzar makes the save and looks around. There are about 20 bandits charging him. Three magic missiles fly into Alzar for 9 damage. 42/51.
Alzar’s steed is dead, and he orders Megala to fly into the air far away for now. He quickly does a check. 20 bandits, a cleric and a mage. He has sleep, which may put anywhere from 2 -6 of them down, and charm and such. There’s no chance of making it through, so he surrenders.
Antonito swings down and punches Alzar hard. All of his items, gold, and such are taken. He is stripped down to robes, bound, and then knocked unconscious.
