Romance of the River Kingdoms II

Shayuri · Jul 11, 2010

(OOC - Just to try to kickstart things, we're waiting on Mystal and Brother Gold, in that order, in init right?)

Neurotic · Jul 12, 2010

OOC: Sorry didn't realize I was the one holding things up.

Mystal, still hidden near the ceiling, moves toward two man that went into hiding.

OOC: Move 'east' 20' (just past that first pilar)

OOC: It doesn't matter too much of you post out of initiative order, saves waiting for the person in front. "X" on the map is the "dark spirit", by the way (think wraith-like).

(OOC, it can save waiting...but sometimes people lower on the init chain will do things that events earlier cause to become obsolete. It's nice, therefore, to see what the faster folks want to do. That said, this game has been quiet for a long time.

(ooc: I just wanted to wait until the enemies acted. Their actions will surely affect Ape's course of action.)

Dr Simon · Jul 26, 2010

I think we might safely conclude that we've lost strawhat/Brother Gold, in which case I'll get the game stirring again shortly.

Dr Simon · Jul 27, 2010

OOC: Looking at the tactical map, there's not a lot to do yet, so:

Brother Gold moves forwards quickly and quietly, taking a position behind one of the pillars. Meanwhile, flashes of movement in the campfire light show that some of the other thugs are moving along a far walkway, heading towards the left of your group.

[sblock=OOC]
Single moves from Gold and the bad guys - everyone is playing cautious for now. Next up are Annika and Ape, then the remaining bad guys.

Crackling blue light suddenly illuminates the further reaches of the cistern walkways as Ape's ball lightning flashes into being next to the half-headed leader of the gang. With a yelp, the undead creature leaps to one side, then scurries down the walkways, staff in hand. Off to the right, two of his followers draw closer, flitting between pillars.

The dark spirit glides silently towards you, drifting over the top if the gaps to the lower levels and simply passing through the pillars in its way; it takes a direct route, a fast-moving patch of deeper shadow amongst the shadows trown up by torch, campfire and lightning.

It passes by Mystal, who lurks hidden on the underside of the level above, sending a chill through the salsham'ai's body. It glides up to Annika, reaches out an arm made of pure darkness as if to administer a loving stroke.

There is a flash of fire as Annika's spiritual shield repels the creature's touch, and it recoils slightly.

[sblock=OOC]
Various movements, mainly.

Leader makes Reflex save against Ape's ball lightning.

Darkness spirit attempts touch attack against Annika, fails.

Mystal's Stealth beats its Perception by miles.

Thugs 4,5,6
Ape
Dark Spirit
