Uriel · 23rd December 2003, 09:34 PM

Map...please excuse erase marks...things changed a bit when the bad guys all rolled super Inits.

Keia · 23rd December 2003, 10:01 PM

Thurgan dropped his crossbow, partly because he planned to do that anyway, partly because he was astonished by the speed of these buggers.

"Eager ta meet me axe, are yea?" Thurgan rumbled as he drew his dwarven waraxe and swung. As many of the feral creatures moved to the other side of the room, Thurgan thought, Hmm, we may yet get through this. . .

OOC: Drop Weapon (free action), draw axe (Move Equivalent), and Swing! +1d6 Sneak if for some reason he gets flanked before I act.

Rurik's mood quickly brightened as he watched (to his eyes) Sir Ishmael assume command. (And a hobbit shall lead them, but this was no ordinary hobbit,) he thought in his native tongue. As the group fell into step behind the monks and Sir Ishmael, Rurik arranged his pack for comfort and performed the ritual pre-battle check of his weapons in the right places for easy access that he saved for when there was time to perform such a check. (Crowbar, check. Waraxe, check. Poncy little shortbow, check. Mining pick, check.)

As the scene opened up to them, Rurik's battle senses kicked in, and he placed himself on the line next to Sturm, standing against a hideous orc. "From the forges of my ancestors!" he shouted as he put his back into a swing.

[Rurik will attack the feral orc in front of him, using 1 point of Power Attack for +2 additional damage. If this drops the orc, Rurik will take his Cleave swing (again, Power Attacking for 1) at the feral monk attacking Whitefang.]

WizWrm · 23rd December 2003, 11:06 PM

Velbrik's expression improves at the appearance of allies. "Well, Troi, it looks as though we may get out of this alive yet."

He breathes in deeply, then calls out in a manner that projects all the way to the far corners of the room, "Friends, fear not, for fate has seen fit to fuse our faithful force! Now, listen, and hear how Navos the Great, warrior of renown, single-handedly crushed an entire orcish warband!"

Having said this, Velbrik begins chanting rhythmically, his musical voice adding flavor to the otherwise constant intonation.

After beginning the song, he takes a short step south and then feints at the orc, hoping to catch it off-guard for his next attack.

Inspire courage +1 (standard action), five-foot step to the space beneath the orc as according to the map (free action), improved feint with Bluff +8 (move action)

Arken · 24th December 2003, 12:25 AM

ooc/ Hmmm not quite as I saw it

, I thought I'd be in my usual cowardly position of being behind the others

/ooc

Felix for a moment looks triumphant at the blast hitting the lead priest and then distressed as the creatures thunder towards him.
He mutters an elven prayer as he withdraws slightly from the creatures and grapples with the clasp of the spell book given to him by Delmon, he tears from it one of the pages and holds it before him as the runes and symbols on it begin to glow.

Felix takes a 5 foot step to escape threatened spaces (back onto the stairs perhaps?) and then uses the page detailing Colour Spray in the spellbook as a scroll (is that allowed? I'm sorry I don't know...), He aims the spell to catch the two orcs and the monk that were infront of him.

"Thurgan my friend move out of the way!!"

ooc/ Again I hope this is possible, if not just say so Uriel and I'll think of something else

/ooc

nimisgod · 24th December 2003, 04:46 AM

"Tunk Slarek Din K'rass!!!"* Sir Ishmael's war cry briefly pierces the din as he swung Violet madly about. Though it came from his own lips, the deep voice seemed alien to those who had long traveled with the warsledge-wielding knight. T'was as if the halfling was possessed by some spirit of war that he fought with much violence and ferocity. Any that looked into the shadows of his leather coif would see reptilian slits where his irises once were.

A quiet growl escaped Sir Ishmael's lips (and disappeared into the noise of combat) as he parried a set of blood-crusted talons. He reared back with Violet and let fly with bone-crushing force.

<Power Attack (-2): "Violet" +3, 1d6+4>

*Draconic: "A Death of Talons upon my Foes!!!"

Ankh-Morpork Guard · 24th December 2003, 05:47 AM

Surprised for only a moment, Telerin quickly gathered himself up again. There was work to be done...a lot of it. Drawing one of the arrows given to him, Telerin aimed at a lone Orc and let loose an arrow.

((Telerin's shooting his (last I think) of the magical arrows he was given at the Orc two squares ahead of him. Its right near William.))

Uriel · 24th December 2003, 06:38 AM

Telerin fires at the closest Orc, hitting the brute <7HP>, though he fails to drop it.

Aranel 18 fires her hand crossbow at the same orc, finishing it off.

Thurgan 17 swings at his Orc, though he fais to connect.

Rurik 12 hacks into the closest orc, killing it, his swing carrying into the next nearest feral (a Monk) <6HP>.

Velbrik 12 begins his Song, moving slightly and preparing to draw off his opponents next attack <The Orc or the Monk, as they may Both now attack you...>.

Kirin 11 slings a bullet down with deadly accuracy, finishing off the Monk attacking Whitefang.

Felix 10 tears a page from his book in desperation,calling forth the Illusion, causing both the Orc and the Monk closest to him to fall back,stunned and roaring in despair,clutching at their eyes...The other Orc and Thurgan both avoided the effects.

Troi 9 Is Up...

Sturm 7
Ishmael 6

Velbrik
"Well, Troi, it looks as though we may get out of this alive yet."

"Damn good thing, too!" Troi calls back. "Deal with th' ones on our end!"

He then nods to the newfound allies in the other end of the room. "You all deal with th' ones on yer end! I'll get th' ones in th' middle!"

He then turns to fully face his foes. "It is not my fate to die here." He says quickly to himself, attempting to move himself into action. "I will not fall!"

He slashes out at the feral orc nearest him with his shortsword, then takes a quick step back and lashes at the feral leader, or at the orc, if it remained standing.

As he attacks, Troi tries to make a quick assessment of what kind of armor his three opponents in the center of the room are wearing.

Attacking feral orc with shortsword, 5-foot step south, then attacking feral leader (or orc if it lived) with whip.

Also, if anything provokes an AoO within 5 feet, Troi will attack it with his shortsword.

Uriel · 25th December 2003, 02:24 AM

OoC:Sorry GW, rolled a '4' and a '3' for you, ugh...
I somehow forgot to insert the Good Monks into the initiative Order...
Tara 6
Gunter 21
William 18
Hmm...

IC
Gunter smashes the head of the Orc that telerin had shot <5 HP>, though the Orc still stands.

William slashes at one of the Orcs with his Kama, hitting it twice <6HP>, failing to drop it.

Troi slashes and lashes at the orc, missing in his haste to avoid the beasts claws.

Sturm is up...

Uriel · 25th December 2003, 04:15 AM

Map...

WizWrm · 25th December 2003, 04:25 AM

Continuing to chant, Velbrik whirls his longsword back and slashes at the orc he'd previously feinted at. He takes a five-foot step to the right, and, upon hearing Sir Ishmael's call, interrupts himself during an appropriate pause in the rhythm to shout, "Jassa, die rakke un!" encouraging him onward in Draconic before resuming his chant.

Longsword +4 (1d8+3, 19-20/x2) (standard action), five-foot step (free action), continuing inspire courage: +1 morale bonus [not factored in] to attack, damage, and saves vs. charm and fear for all who can hear (free action). Are any of the enemies holding weapons?

Uriel · 25th December 2003, 11:40 AM

OoC:Sturm on Auto, though I think i know what he'd do...

Sturm hacks mightily at the Orc in front of him, though he fails to hit.

Ishmael, likewise misses with Violet...

Round two

Orcs Nat 20
The Orc caught between Velbrik and Thurgan swings at Thurgan, missing him.

The unhurt Orc nearest Gunter swings as well, missing.
The second Orc, the one with an arrow and a crossbow bolt in him, swings his massively muscled arms at the Monk. Telerin watches in horror, as the Monk (who must way 220 pounds, at least) is lifted bodily and thrown back, unmoving,blood pouring from his abdomen.

Sturm's and ishmael's opponants fail to connect.

William, facing two foes is caught first by a clawed blw to the head,sending his head lolling back,blood flying from his mouth. His pain is short,however, as the second feral literally tears his left arm from it's socket, killing him <The poor guy took 13 and 14 HP...he had 13HP>.

Gunter 21
<Dead or dying on the ground>

Feral Leader 20 <Casting Defensively>
Intoning to his Dark God, the Feral Priest Summons a massive beast, a Dire Wolf appearing next to him and rushing to the area where the Ferals seem to be faring the worst, running right at Thale.As it moved past,roi makes a quick stab at it <hit it for 7 HP on an AofOp>

The Massive Lupine beast misses taking off the Elf's head by a fraction of an inch...

OoC:Yikes!

Telerin 19 We are Here
Feral Monks 19
Aranel 18
William 18
Thurgan 17
Rurik 12
Velbrik 12
Kirin 11
Felix 10

OoC:You have no idea how horrified I was when I rolled 17 (modded to 20) for the Leader, a nat 20 for the orcs and 18 (mdded to 19 for the Monks

OoC: None are currently using Weapons. the Monks are using unarmed strikes or talons, the Orcs their talons. They were in the middle of some Ritual, so they weren't expecting to be using their weapons (there are many axes and falchions against one wall, however).

GnomeWorks · 26th December 2003, 02:29 AM

"We're not gonna live if we keep messin' up like this!" Troi calls. "Somebody's gotta do somethin' ta even th' playin' field!"

He slashes at the orc again, takes a quick step back, and lashes out at it with his whip, or the feral leader if the orc falls.

Attack orc with shortsword, 5-foot step south, attack orc (or feral leader if orc is down) with whip.

nimisgod · 26th December 2003, 05:46 AM

The sound of an answer snapped Sir Ishmael from his battle madness. He had heard his own cry in Draconic and felt rage surge through his mind, but he had no idea from whence these came from. At best, he had a hazy idea... one better explored when a Feral Orc was not trying to make him a head shorter.

He stoppered the power from his strikes, trying for accuracy over power this time. The answer in Draconic piqued his curiosity, but such thoughts were shrugged aside as well.

"For honor!" he struck at an exposed kneecap.

<"Violet" +5 1d6+2>

Keia · 26th December 2003, 03:08 PM

"Ugly bugger!" Thurgan commented as he swung his war axe at the orc between him and Velbrik. As he completed his follow through, Thurgan noted the hulking wolf loping toward the exposed side of his group. With a sigh, Thurgan moved to intercept the wolf, readying his shield against the impact of the large creature.

OOC: +2 for flanking is not factored in above, +1 to hit and Damage for morale not factored in above either, +1d6 sneak vs. orc which is flanked. Thurgan will either move to be ten foot in front of the group (between them and the wolf) if the orc is down. If not he will adjust 5' in that direction.

dpdx · 26th December 2003, 09:03 PM

[Are there any feral monks left to go on count 19?]

"Vexin' 'ell, I thought the monks c'd fight! Look alive, boys, thar comin' o'er 'ere!"

Rurik will Power Attack Sturm's orc (as before, 1 pt., but he's Inspired, right?), if it drops from his swing, he'll take 5 ft. step and attempt to Cleave Ishmael's orc with the same Power Attack.

Ankh-Morpork Guard · 26th December 2003, 09:35 PM

Telerin cursed to himself as he saw the Orc's attack. This wasn't looking great...switching the bow to his off hand, he extended his other, quietly going through an old spell. When the flame appeared in his hand, he hurled it at the second Orc.

((Casting Produce Flame and throwing it at the Orc that Telerin watched...should be able to do the same next round too.))
