Thanks for that. It was exactly the kind of brilliance I would have required to make a move towards incognito once more.

Subject: The Jig is up!
Wonderful! Nice aim there, she thought to herself snidely, as her stone winged by the bearded man's face. Like it was was a homing beacon, his eyes followed the angles and then their eyes were locked. His rage was oozing from his mouth in the form of angry spittled screaming, and his dog was coming to play fetch with her. Calopee booked it upfield, hoping to lose herself once more, but alas the reach of the doggy man's legs were nearly double her own. A small perk for being human, she supposed.
In any case, this was an unpleasant circumstance, and her mind began to whir about some form of solution that would get her out of this mess. As luck would have it though, her comrade already provided her with distraction she would need. Whilst he whirled and twirled his singing sword, and cast out a sword that was a shining replica of Discq's most favored tool of war, she would quietly slink away, into the field without so much as a peep, and while he was distracted by the dancing blade, she'd try her luck with yet another stone thrown.
(A bluff check to attempt to hide from the distracted bandit. Move 10ft east into the field, and then throw a regular stone at the bandit now fighting a dancing blade.

Just thought it would have been two turns ago. Now for something completely different! Not really. Just time to get lost!

Another stone thrown. Another mad dash into the safety of the standing grain. Calopee let the wheat be her shield, the night her cloak. To the edge of the wheat wall then, to assess the field of battle. Malachi, had taken one down... For a moment she was shocked! Perhaps he could put his mouth to rest upon the blades arm after all. This was good to know. The fierce screaming of the bandit leader let her know her stones had left their mark. Three down, six to go.
What to do, what to do. One of the Beards lackeys just tossed a curve ball out into left field, coming very near her prior safe haven, and the dry stalks lot up like tinder. Through the brush she noted Tristan moving towards te flame. If he was to care for the field, perhaps she had little worry for the time being. So now the question was, should she strike out at the leader? It was a tempting thought. Perhaps... If the angles added up. She prepared her assault, looking to the left, then over towards the sheds. Decisions, decisions.
(Calopee will wait and see if bandit seven moves adjacent to the bandit leader. If so she will target the both of them with a skip rock extraordinaire. If they do not close rank, she will vie for a long shot against the two men before Malachi. Either way, after her throw she will duck back into cover and head north as far as is sneakily possible. )

I'm hoping to get one done tonight. I've been pulling double shifts so time is short. But if not tonight, tomorrow morning.

My next move may have a lot to do with what the enemies do before me... And also the success of Tristan's spell. It makes for a difficult post! :p

Topic: Fortune's Favoured: Revenge of the Revenge of the Game
Subject: There nothing hiding in the field, I promise!
Moments only, the time between a pendulum's swing, before shouts of pain erupted from the thugs just beyond her. War broke out in the distance, where Mal had been laying in wait. Calopee's slightly pointed ears tingled in the faint din of the night. It was the tension in the air, the tension in her. Had they spotted her in the dark? No. That doesn't make sense. Between Tristan's mercurial strike, and Seha's pulsing arcana, nobody would be mindful of a less than three feet tall halfling throwing soundless stones. Even had they known the direction of the assault, or knew what had hit them in the first place, she already moved on.
It was time for a second strike. The same method as before, a silent shot out into the night, she recalculated her angles, her form becoming poised; deadly. A wicked flick of the wrist, and she let loose halfling war. After the shot was flung, she disengaged once more. Moving towards the edge of the wheat field, nearer to the farmer's shack. Maybe she could get a shot of on a couple more unsuspecting bandits before this battle got out of hand.
(Takes another shot at the two bandits, and attempts another duck into the fields, moving as far to the left as she can without breaching the line of concealment. )

Bow to the might of stone throwing little people! Seriously, I'm way down here... I have to say, regardless of how fleeting this success was. It felt damn good. Let's try again. Haha.

Subject: That's one small stone for Calopee, One wicked skip to two cronies.
In the dim light of twilight, Calopee often regretted her lineage. Normally, her tiny personage was more than enough for her, and held great potential for guile and nimbleness, however she saw no better in the dark than the merest of men. To her chagrin, the shine of Seha's elven eyes provided her with the reminder that the darkness was both her biggest boon, and yet a rotten curse. As she crouched quietly, waiting for her eyes to come to terms with the new surrounding contrasts, riders began to fall upon the farmer's cottage. They came in numbers, as she had feared from the tellings of the trail that led hither. When their numbers, and obvious hostility went from probable consideration, to intrinsic knowledge, the little halfling knew she'd made the right call. Any attempt to negotiate would have ended terribly. You don't try and talk down nine horse riding thugs on a mission from an even bigger miscreant. They'd have no choice but to bite when their master raised the alarm.
Two lackeys fast approached the trio hidden in the golden stalks of wheat. They were polite enough to provide them with beacons for which to attack. How unfortunate for them, she mused, as she rummaged through her bag of stone holding for a beautifully polished masterpiece. Combat poured into the void of the night as Tristan struck out at the bandit before him. Calopee craned her neck to the side slightly, bringing her left eye to a slit while she considered the angles at play between the two thugs not five paces away.
Rubbing the stone gently between her thumb and index finger, she flexed her wrist up in front of her face, as though it were a cobra waiting to strike. Then, with a vicious flick of her wrist, let fly the stones of war. Well, one stone truly, but it would be like hitting two birds with one stone, a little trick she'd mastered quite readily, and a much harder shot than smacking two buffoons playing lookout on the lawn.
After the shot, she wasted no time awaiting the results of her assault. Instead, she faded back into the field. Perhaps she could maneuver around the side and come in for another shot in the dark.
(Calopee attempts a sneak attack on both of the bandits near the wheat field, using a precious skiprock, and takes a five foot step northeast diagonally. She will try to vanish into the field undetected.)

This sounds like an awfully good plan.It may be disheartening to the bandits to find their numbers in shambles with such rapidity.

Subject: On The Matter of Stone Throwing
Well... I could feasibly attack the leader, but with the way his lackeys are lined up, I could hit both with one throw, which would likely be the best bet. So I shall help you take down the goons...

Subject: Let she who is free from sin throw the first stone.
I'm all for giving them a fair chance to surrender, but, as far as I've seen they have proven their evil intent, and they outnumber us. A pack of dogs will always attack when they feel they have the numbers. This will end one way. I'm hoping Tristan and Sele keep our position secreted, but either way, with a surprise round at hand, I'm throwing stones.

Well. Calopee has a signal whistle, though that may be a bit abrupt. How about our signal is when the enemies scream, "What the hell, did I just get hit by a rock?"

Subject: First.
Guess I lied about last night. Too many things going on. I posted a question that's been on Calopee's mind. I know some of us didn't want to risk just letting them pass. But it's certainly what she'd do. The marauders going after a useless lot makes very little sense. If there's something on the land however, they could lead us there. Maybe...

Topic: Fortune's Favoured: Revenge of the Revenge of the Game
Subject: A line of thought.
After watching Isaiah and his kids walking down the mud path towards town, Calopee turned around to face the rest of her troupe. She hadn't thought of asking them to leave, but all in all it was likely for the best. If they failed this mission, it would be that much easier to abandon it, knowing that their charges were safe. Even a paladin wouldn't give his life for stuff alone!
Now however, seeing as the farmer had technically given in to the demands of the desert marauders, she wondered what would happen if the bandits came to find that the farm was empty.
Focusing her eyes on Relos while she spoke, she began to make such an inquiry aloud. "I know that some of us would like to confront this situation head on, but I can't help but wonder what would happen if the horsemen found this place unoccupied as demanded. This place has very little merit that we've seen, and I can't help wondering what would motivate such a threat."

Subject: Pull the trigger.
I can post my intentions later tonight, but it will be brief. I'll want to find a place that is hidden enough to stay concealed, but fortuitous enough as to be able to attack, if necessary. The house would be a thought for me, but if Relos is meeting them head on from outside, I'd rather be near his position, off to the side, ready to strike.

I feel like I need some sort of time advancement before trodding on. It would be good to know what Isaiah is doing before continuing on. I guess I'll be waiting for Gruggles.
