The Charming Warden

Rae ArdGaoth · Oct 22, 2010

Jonah approaches the suddenly docile wolves to try to assist the wounded one. The arrow proves harder to remove than he imagined, and rather than allow Jonah to help it, the wounded wolf bolts off.

And suddenly, other combatants enter the scene.

Jamilee (who readied an action) lets an arrow loose, and...

..whispers something like "paranoia rewarded" as it flies straight and true at the first wolf she sees bursting through the underbrush - let's say #5. attack, damage (1d20+6=18, 1d8+1=7)

Tibard Mountainbore, dwarven cleric of Hyrag

Prepared for a fight, Tibard calls on Hyrag to bless the party after seeing Jamilee shoot an arrow. "We cannot choose the hour of our struggles, Hyrag. Though it's night we know You still hear us. Bless us in the coming fight, Radiant Hyrag."

[sblock=readied action]Tibard readied to cast bless in response to a fight starting, which I figure Jamilee shooting an arrow counts as. If that's incorrect let me know and I'll edit this post.[/sblock][sblock=effects]Everyone is blessed. So:

+1 Morale bonus to attack rolls
+1 Morale bonus to saves vs. fear

Jamilee's arrow strikes true. (7 damage to Wolf 5)

Tibard's spell showers light upon the party.

Three new wolves emerge, all from the brush across the road. One gets behind Jamilee and growls, grabbing her attention while its wounded pack mate approaches from the other side. Both creatures lunge at once, and Jamilee cannot hope to defend herself. They attempt to rip her feet from beneath her, but she manages to escape their jaws in time to keep her balance.

(4 moves NW of Jamilee, readies action to attack upon 5 getting in flanking position. 5 moves SE of Jamilee, flanking with 4, and attacks. 4's readied action triggers, and 4 attacks.)

(Wolf 4 hits 20 AC, deals 6 damage. Wolf 5 hits 24 AC, deals 7 damage. Total of 13 damage to Jamilee. With +4 Dex, she can't lose against a trip attempt of 5.)

The third new wolf engages Christopher. It wraps its teeth around his Katara paws and attempts to yank him to the ground.

(Wolf 3 hits AC 23 deals 2 damage to Christopher. Christopher must make an opposed Str/Dex check to avoid being tripped (16 or higher and he stays on his feet))

Christopher Greeneyes, Katara Sorcerer 1

Christopher screams in pain as the wolf's attack connects and he is dragged to the ground. Counter the trip - +2 Dex bonus, -4 size penalty (1d20-2=1)

Cringing in fear, Christopher tries to cast color spray at the attacking wolves. He holds his paws close to his body so as not present a target to the wolf. Unfortunately he is not able to cast the spell correctly.

Jonah human male

"Blue! Sick'em!" Jonah yells pointing to the wolf trying to eat Christopher. The big dog moves over to obey and Jonah follows quickly behind. The wolf proves to fast as it moves out of the way of both attacks with ease.

Christopher flails on the ground ineffectually.

Jonah and Blue go on the offensive, but accomplish little more than aggravating the wolves.

The first wolf, no longer being paid any attention, simply lays on the ground, docile as a lap dog.

Reis...

Jamilee...

Tibard...

Reis drops his pack immediately as more wolves break into the clearing. Seeing Jamilee flanked and Christopher pulled to the ground, he mutters a curse under his breath and glances around for an opening into the melee. Quickly making a decision, he sinks into combat form and, stepping around Jamilee, aims a thrust at the wounded wolf, hoping to drive it away from its flanking position.

Jamilee groans as her vision swims and narrows. Not good. Free of the wolves' jaws for the moment, she dance-steps to the side, drops her bow, and quickly casts a spell. Casting while in armour is difficult, but she pulls it off without too much trouble.

As the Shield spell comes up and the magical barrier summoned by it briefly makes the air in front of her shimmer, she drops her bow, draws her swords, and takes stock of the situation. Badly wounded, separated from the party, surrounded by hungry wolves, and turtled up instead of pressing the enemy. I sure hope this bet pays off..

Tibard steps around Jonah and swings at the nearest wolf. "Hyrag take you!" His heavy mace hits the wolf in the side with a bone-breaking crunch.

[sblock=actions]Five-foot step to E5. Attack and hit wolf 1 for 5 damage.[/sblock]
