both energy from the nexus and from<br>>> whatever lies beyond the rift. The lack of response from the tree<br>>> makes it seem likely that the pyramid is somehow suppressing the<br>>> tree's powers or its command of the ley line.

Vesper fumed most definitely keeping to the shadows<br>> but needing to help protect the men who had risked coming up here with him.<br>> He pops off some clouds of smoke to cover the area and make it harder to<br>> target his allies. He looks around for the one who shot at the enemy.<br>> [/Vesper]<br><br>[GM]<br>The cloud does seem to work. The Splugorth minions are firing, but<br>it's pretty random.<br><br>One of the scouts points out Alex to Vesper. He wouldn't have seen her<br>on his own.<br>[/GM]<br><br><br>> [Vesper]<br>> Vesper
tries and protect her from that artillery and other attacks by putting an energy<br>> field between her and the Splugorth's position [180MD protection near nexus].<br>> [/Vesper]<br><br>[GM]<br>Vesper raises that energy field in the nick of time as a high<br>explosive mortar round hits within thirty feet of Alex's position<br>[Damage: 60 MD from High Explosive Mortar rounds, courtesy of<br>Kitsune's website!].<br>[/GM]<br><br>> [Vesper]<br>> Activating his Naruni FF knowing he might need it as he retreats.<br>> [/Vesper]<br><br>[GM]<br>The scouts waste no time getting back down the hill, though one<br>remains hidden at the top to act as point man.<br><br>They arrive at the bottom of the hill just in time to see the first<br>Kydians cresting the hill.
