Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III - Page 7

Kurt dashes the glass aside as Ragnok and Dara trade threats suddenly. Now the use of the foreign tongue makes sense to him, not as a show of education, but as to discuss something they thought to require some secrecy - obviously Ragnok's behaviour.

Leaping from his seat, he awaits the next move.

Rhun · 2nd April 2009, 04:49 PM

"Damnations!" swears Burne as the situation takes a major turn for the worse. The wizard obviously didn't expect a brawl to occur in his audience chamber. As the party leaps into action, the wizard begins to chant, and a pair of his guards rush in from the corridor outside!

Initiative, please? (Or I'll roll them as soon as I get a chance; I know some of you like to make your own rolls, though.

Leif · 2nd April 2009, 10:26 PM

Trevor looks increasingly nervous as the conversation deteriorates into violence, he hefts his shiny new enchanted warhammer.

"Come on Mr. Crusher," he says to his enchanted warhammer, "let's look alive here, and, hopefully, STAY alive, too!" Trevor is on Full Defense and is making no threatening moves.

init. 24 Trev's initiative, asked for in Post 122 (1d20+8=24)

Ah, a Trekker from way back. Just working my way through TNG for the umpteenth time!

Leif · 3rd April 2009, 02:06 PM

OOC: And I, also! I put much of TNG on video tape, but I have never watched the tapes, alas, and I fear that they probably wouldn't work now. (If I could even find them, that is...)

The warlock curses under his breath and fumbles for a scroll. Hoping he isn't too late to avoid a deadly confrontation among his friends, he reads in a rapid, but carefully enunciated voice. As the stream of arcane words ends a greasy film begins to form on the gem in Ragnok's hand.

OOC: initiative (1d20+4=11) Grease spell on the gem. DC15 reflex save to hang onto or use it.

Rhun · 9th April 2009, 06:12 AM

Sorry for the delays...I'll get a new post up tomorrow, I promise.

ROUND 1

All hell breaks loose within Lord Burne's audience chamber:

Ragnok pulls the gemstone from his pouch and raises his fist high overhead, flames dripping from it like blood, even as Dara begins to cast her spell. Kurt, Trevor, Coraine and Burne all leap from their respective seats, Verdis pulls out a scroll, and two guards rush into the chamber.

Trevor, reacting quickly, brings his warhammer into a guard position, whispering sweet nothings to the weapon.

Dara draws her falchion as she approaches Ragnok, saying: “I hope we will come to the point where you can thank us for this...” Then she slams her mighty weapon down against the dwarf, but she does not aim for his body, but for his hand. The dwarf is unable to react in the face of Dara's speed, and her blade strikes the gem, sending it bouncing across the heavily carpeted floor of the chamber!

Kurt rushes forward and dives to the ground, grabbing hold of the gem. As his hand closes around the gem, you can see him grimace, and a bead of sweat breaks across the cleric's forehead as he struggles with the forces within the stone.

For Legildur

Unfortunately for Kurt, he is now lying defenseless at Ragnok's feet, before a dwarf that wants nothing more than to reclaim the gem and strike his foe's down with fire!

For Boddy

Wailing, the dwarf flings himself at Kurt. He aims a vicious kick at the cleric's head before stooping to wrest the gem from him. He then stands, exultant, and turns back to Dara with a snarl on his face, ready to blast her from existence. Distracted by his struggle with the gem, Kurt can't do much to avoid Ragnok's attack except cringe in expectation. Despite the dwarf's greater strength and ferocity, somehow (through sheer determination and luck) Kurt manages to maintain his hold on the gem.

Burne chants the words to a spell, and points his hands at Ragnok. As the arcane words are spoken, Ragnok finds himself frozen in place, unable to move.

Between Coraine and Burne's two guards, the dwarf is soon in custody, disarmed and bound.

COMBAT IS EFFECTIVELY OVER

Guys, please repost your actions, or simply make a post confirming your above actions. With things moving into combat round, I want to make sure that those that stated actions still want the same actions...

(FYI, I don't normally like Player vrs Player combat in my game, but this is sort of special circumstances.)

Initiative
24 Trevor - Full Defense
20 Dara - 5' step + draw falchion, disarm attempt Dara 30 (natural 20) vrs Ragnok 6 (natural 1)...lol. Well, that got him! (SUCCESS)
14 Kurt - [NPC] move, grab gem
12 Ragnok - disarm attempt vrs Kurt: Ragnok 21 vrs Kurt 22 (Natural 20) (FAILURE); Will save vrs DC20 17 (FAILURE)
11 Burne - hold monster vrs Ragnok (DC20)
11 Verdis
07 Coraine
04 Guardsman 1
01 Guardsman 2

Dara has been trying to steal the gem, so she is obviously the greatest threat! Ragnok calls down flame to envelop her, and put an end to her scheming. The rest of them can wait.

Thanee · 10th April 2009, 11:13 AM

OOC: No, if she has a full set of actions available, Dara will actually do now what I had planned next.

Dara draws her falchion as she approaches Ragnok, saying: “I hope we will come to the point where you can thank us for this...”

Then she slams her mighty weapon down against the dwarf, but she does not aim for his body, but for his hand.

OOC: Draw Falchion and move next to Ragnok; Disarm against the gem. Dara +10 (3 BAB 2 STR 1 MW 4 two-handed weapon) vs. Ragnok +5 (5 BAB 4 STR -4 no weapon).

If she succeeds in making Ragnok drop the evil glitter, she continues: “Someone push it away from him! Quick! Don't use you hands!”

Leif · 10th April 2009, 02:32 PM

Trevor looks increasingly nervous as the conversation deteriorates into violence, he hefts his shiny new enchanted warhammer.

OOC: Link to initiative roll previously posted below. (post #123)

Rhun · 10th April 2009, 04:48 PM

OOC: Boddy, please see above and post a new action for Ragnok, as he has been relieved of the gem!

Leif · 10th April 2009, 05:43 PM

Woe is me!

I'm not trying to be a rat basatard or anything here, but I've got to have some rules regarding this or everyone would always want to change their actions based on the things that happen after their initiative. Sorry.
