Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

Ah-shahran steps out from behind his table and raises his hands, opening them to reveal a chess piece in each hand. The bishops, glowing and slightly transparent, swiftly grow to the size of small dogs as they launch forward at the goblinoids.

Hands now empty, Ah-shahran shouts Let's clear that door! We'll be needing to leave before this place burns down!

Meanwhile, Freggo is suddenly aware of a ghostly bulldog at his side. A comforting warmth spreads over him as the dog snarls at the hobgoblins.

[sblock=Mechanics]Move: to O37
Standard: Twin Panthers, first attack at Gah. If it hits, second attack at Fiery Pete, otherwise second attack also at Gah. edit: these attacks target Reflex, forgot to put that in my die rolls.
Minor: Call Spirit Companion in square U25, granting 4 temp HP to Freggo.[/sblock]

OOC: If at least one of the Twin Panthers attacks hits then until the end of my next turn, you have combat advantage when making melee attacks against enemies adjacent to my spirit companion. For later turns, both of my at-wills grant basic attacks. Anyone care if I roll their granted attack in the interest of saving time?

Gah! is swiftly savaged, the Hobgoblin staggers backwards and tumbles back down the stairs, lies motionless at the bottom- neck broken.

Fiery Pete suffers too, he's scratched and clawed by the second panther but he's made of hardier stuff- that said he's just seen his Hobgoblin troopers cut to the quick.

Kalimaru is next in to the action...

OOC: DM: I believe you logged the temp HP with Viator when actually Viator gave them to Freggo (thanks!).

Got it.

Kali

Kali grins at the quick reactions of the other patrons, and is at one with the hit them hard and fast option, though there seems only one way he can make his axes count quickly, and he so wants to let them meet Fiery Pete up close and personal.

He draws both axes, centres his darker powers on Pete, an attempts to hurtle across the bannister and table that seperates them.



And finds himself flat out - damn those pies are hard so awkward to avoid!!

But he just has time to get himself upright.

Kyalia-

[/sblock]

Freggo shouts out, "To any able to fight, help me down these monsters while they're distracted by these ghostly animals! Then we can start evacuating everyone before the fire starts to claim lives!"

Kyalia

Nodding approvingly to Viator, as he drops two of the hobgoblins, and then seeing the Deva remove the goblin's bodyguard, Kyalia sees a chance to strike at him. She leaps up the table and balances between the plates and dishes with great agility, all the while taking aim at the goblin holding the torch. Two arrows leave her string in rapid succession, racing towards her quarry.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Move: Jump on the table and move up to P40
Minor: Hunter's Quarry on Fiery Pete
Standard: Twin Strike on Fiery Pete (2x)[/SBLOCK]

Both arrows strike home and Fiery Pete staggers, the blood drains from his face, he seems to be having doubts.

The scene seems to unfreeze, life and motion suspended during the brief seconds of shock, return- the patrons of the Nentir Inn scream and run amok, actually run mostly away.

Dishonourable mentions for the following individuals-

Earl Pye dives under a table and cowers, while Caridol, Jimbo and Gurp the Killer head for the nearest greenery and attempt to hide within.

Honourable (but stupid) mention goes to Wumpus who attacks Smeg the Hobgoblin with a metal plate- Smeg doesn't look to be that bothered by this event, Wumpus you notice is a little drunk...

BOOM!

While behind the bar a liquor cabinet explodes, and the fire spreads- as it does also behind Fiery Pete (ironic really), the Goblin's exit is getting warmer.
