The Key to Victory

HolyMan · Mar 28, 2011

Haden walks slowly around he lake as Ernestine continues to move forward. The Reaver is joined by three men from the treeline as he gets near the spot where the lake turns south. He stops and folding his arms listens as a man in dark robes leans forward to whisper something to him.

With a shocked expression on his face he looks past Ernestine to Aver. "What's the meaning of this! Are you working with the elves now?" his voices grows steadily more loud and angry as he continues.

"What you think they will spare you in your part of this? Did they offer you a reward for helping them? You led them here to find The Crown of Isillis? Why have you betrayed me!?" he almost shouts the last.

Before Ernestine can respond the enraged Hade cries out. "Kill them! Kill them all!"

Mal can only look in dismay as Aver unknowingly causes his bad luck to overwhelm them all yet again. Elves really were nuisances at times...

[sblock=Actions]Guess I will move forward, 30', full defense, AC should be 21 now. Aura is Protection, DR1/Magic[/sblock]

Aver sighs, "Oh for fuc... goodness sake. I suppose you are going to try to blame this on me to? I'd have been perfectly happy staying with the treasure chests you know."

To Haden he calls, "She only wants to work with me because she was tired of you and that shrimp you call a talliwacker! Now where's my flaming crown you bunch of slack jawed boy bummers? You know there's a pretty decent chance I've slept with at least one of your mothers, I've gotten around these past few decades and I've been known to drop any pretense of standards after enough alcohol." They are already trying to kill him after all, its like having a free pass.

Jareth sighs and shakes his head. No plan survives first contact with the enemy.

The fire-haired young man grips his chain tightly as he cautiously advances, watching for incoming arrows, bolts and magic.

Move 5 North, 1 diagonally North-East. Total Defense as a Standard Action, gaining +6 Dodge to AC.

Anger flooded her veins, as the ruined plan was the least of her problems. "You know why more than any one else. It was you who ordered me to kill that child. No one else. But you couldn't let it go. You were nervous that the village knew already that we were there, so you burned it down to the ground that night. One innocent child wasn't enough. An entire village of innocents was not enough. You took your anger out on me. And you wonder why I betrayed you?! DO YOU EVEN THINK?!"

Arcane power coursed though her, and right then she knew. Knew what she had to do.

"I should have put a bolt in your head that night. Now, the gods have given me another chance. It ends right here, Haden. COME! I shall send you to the depths of underworld!!"

EDIT: Wow. Crit on the init. Also, Know checks on The Crown of Isillis would be?

As the ambush started to unravel, Moggins starts to run up the slope, meowing

"Its too dangerous here. I'm off"

To which Trinham replied "Don't go far and watch out for the traps in the chest room"

Turning his attention back to the fight, Trinham notes that he is well outside his spell and effective crossbow range. So sets off running towards the Haden until he can magic missile him.

"COME! From the heavens above, I summon you till finish this!"

Once again, a dog appears running as Ern speaks in a sweet voice, and while she turns to retreat, the dog growls at Haden. It chargers forward and tries to bite at Haden's feet.

Round 1.5

Haden confidently lays into the celestial mastiff with his green enameled gauntlet. The dog yelps and before it can attack once more a thug comes up from behind and cracks it with a club. Shimmering the beast disappears back to it's golden realm.

The two crossbowman on the ground take aim across the lake and although the distance may seem great their bolts manage to barely catch Ern and Trinham before shattering on the wall behind them.
