  • The french archers start inflicting some damage on the vikings (they have a lot of armor)
  • Devon flies out the back of the keep and sneaks up on Erik

  • When Devon strafes the ship again, he gets hot with a 'Loyalty' spell, and fails his save

  • As Devon approches the Freja, the fog lifts.
  • Devon aims towards the officers in the stern
  • Haddig fails his one chance to immobilize Devon
  • Devon then wipes the rest out pretty easily
  • Bruce and the Irish Elvish Knights leave the keep. Bruce sends the elves head around the bay and then charges across the bay himself (Walk on Water on the horse).
  • Estienne sees Bruce coming and acts shocked. He pulls out a mirror and holds it up to Bruce.
  • Those at the keep see a mounted figure spring forth from the mirror and charge Bruce.
    they look the same.
    They engage and soon noone can tell which is which.
  • one Bruce gets a good hit on the other
  • the injured Bruce gets a hit on the un-injured Bruce. They both fade to a ghost-like appearance.
  • They charge each other again, one gets unhorsed and they both fade from view.
