Scotley's 4e Swashbuckler

"Not much going on in there, methinks," Colin says as he advances towards the open door.

Manous Artouche, Human Protecting Paldin

Manous moves up stride for stride with Lucien. (No 'lesser' man is going to beat this Paldin to a fight!) When Lucien opens the door with his boot, Manous calls out, "Ho Inkeeper! You have thirsty guests on your stoop and hellspawn in your inn!"

[sblock=Lucien and Manous only]The doors are cast open wide. Just inside a hulking Orc, his eyes mad with berserk rage, awaits and swings his axe. The sudden opening of the door must have startled him as his aim is off though the axe does tear a chunk from the door. A fusillade of arrows follows. Each man is hit by three arrows. A flying hand axe also strikes Lucien (damage 37 Manous and 36 Lucien. Through the hail of arrows you see a large band of Orcs. The interior is mostly one large room on the first floor. The front half of of the room extends high up while the back half is lower. A few archers stand on the balcony 15' up. ONe is back by the bar at the far side of the room.[/sblock]

Map for Lucien and Manous only.

As Tabitha reaches the back door, Lucien and Manous take the front door. They are greeted by an axe wielding Orc and a hail of arrows and hurled axes. Both are bloodied by the missile fire.

Round 1

As the pair of 'brave' swashbucklers are peppered with arrows and axes, the shardmind shakes his head in exasperation. He moves lightly around his horse up behind Colin to continue using the small amount of cover available.

Well that was a great plan...

The mage reaches into the empty holster and draws out an impossibly thin crystal rocket, pointing it at the doorway and pulls a string out of the back of it with his staff wielding hand. The projectile lances strait out, threading its way between the two pin cushions and strikes the raging orc squarely in his heaving green chest.

Then a little swarthy-skinned girl steps out from behind Thayoon, wielding a pair of identical daggers with wicked intent toward anyone that would dare attack the canny, crystalline man.[sblock=Actions]Free: Using Telepathy (5), Speaking

"T'would appear that the ole Cock n' Dog is occupied after all!" Colin swings his magical blade in the general direction of the door. As he does, white, pink, red, and purple colored musical notes float in the air past the sword's wake. The weapon hums a tune to inspire Colin's allies. "Thar be enemies, me friends. Let us have at 'em!"

Ali Rd 1

Ali moves forward, looking for a ranged target.

OOC: Move to L20. If a target appears from K20/L20 to K10/L10, throw sword, which will automatically return to Ali's hand. Since the attack roll was a natural 20 critical hit, Ali needs a target in his initiative....
