Tending to their Wounded

Firsthand Account: Abizu
Abizu, Bram, Yin, Feral, Elvanshalee, and Evangelina set out on a mission to either secure or destroy the hospital with the help of Bram's large gray ((hippo man)) friend Bombadier Brogh. We decided to make our assault with the cover of nightfall to make use of our vision advantage over the dragonborn. Since we had some time to spare, we went door to door west of the southernmost bridge to convince commoners to take refuge in the marketplace and plan their evacuation from there. All told we were able to convince 16 souls out of their homes and back to relative safety. Many others remain scared or plain stubborn in their homes.

We killed one bridge guard on the way in to our infiltration, and skirted a half dozen patrols on our way to the hospital. We kept Brogh invisible throughout most of this mission, and the large man was unusually light on his feet. Once we were there, we ran into a patrol that appeared responsible for the streets near the hospital itself but with Elvanshalee and Bram disguised as dragonborn managed to talk our way past them. They gave us a wide berth after that for some reason.

Finding cover to hide in a line of bushes outside the hospital, we sent Bram and Elvanshalee inside to investigate the interior and help discern what our best course of action was. They killed one guard on duty and reported several human clerics inside as well as at least 30 injured dragonborn soldiers. Using their illusions, we decided to have Bram and Elvanshalee order the fearful clerics to gather supplies and head out of the hospital to aid with a fictional front line battle where we claimed their assistance was needed. This prompted the attention of a dragonborn commander and 2 skyhold clerics which ultimately led to a fight. We killed them and managed to save 7 clerics bearing the standard of Grimhallow as well as several healing potions and healing kits.

We decided the dragonborn presence in the area was too heavy and once the human clerics and our group had evacuated, Brogh set his charge and we blew up the hospital to help draw the attention of surrounding patrols and ensure our escape with the much larger party.
