Saturday's session began with the purchase of a few items from Glorn & Maglenth's in the old part of Rotalia. Although the battle at Shady Cliffs revealed a connection between the Moon Elves and the Drow, and an entrance to the underdark, the party decided that Moonmist would be a better destination. Moonmist is the wooded coastal city about halfway down the western border of Anciena, and is the central location for the Purple Order. And why not go after the evil elves themselves, at their source?
Before long, the party found themselves battling elves at a coastal settlement just north of Moonmist. In their immediate area were three towers and a dock. More than two dozen elves seemed ready for attack, among them several of the mounted "harrier" lancers, a few Elderitch Moon Knights, a couple mages, and plenty of archers. Three purple-sailed ships were approaching the docks, probably loaded with a lot more troops.
Taito took a preparatory swig before joining the battle, then began jumping and punching his way through the bad guys. Revan charged right in and soon became a magnet for enemies, outnumbered but prevailing as usual with his battle cry, "I'm not afraid." "The Clubmaster" (Lance's fighter/rogue) snuck up invisibly on a few of elven archers, taking them by surprise. Gendar the Magic dropped his usual supply of fireballs and magic missiles into the battle, really helping even the numbers. St. Joseph provided much needed healing, prayers, a couple of flame strikes that helped clear out two small towers of elven archers and mages. Socrates fought well, though with a dubious collection of new magic rings, some of which turned out not to be what he thought.
