[3.5] Answering the Call

[Neurotic]

OOC: Well, no. but we beat them in init and could hide behind you two. You are right, altough the fact that you're there doesn't preclude dwarf charging at Menno. I didn't expect setup to be so...linear. If we had a say, maybe you two fighters would be in front, maybe one hex free and then squeeshies

Mark, did Menno have enough of advance warning to cast shield before the battle? And didn't curate say that we need to field same number of people? Shouldn't they loose one before we started?

Trial by Combat (Round 1)

OOC: As usual, to account for the chaos of battle, I've modified a bit here and there.

Menno raises his crossbow and seems like he's targeting the elf with the bolt. Slight twinge and fiery bolt streaks across the field striking with unerring accuracy blossoming into bright ball of flame. The androgynous elf takes the full brunt of the blast. He bounces off the ropes behind him and then hits the ground, his light crossbow clattering nearby.

Tiax readies an arrow and after a moment, fires at the human. "Well, lets get started." he mutter as he lets go. The arrow flies true. The human's leather armor provides some defense, but the arrow's tip opens a wound in his shoulder.

Once the Curate declares the trial's start, Lars charges straight at the nearest human enemy on Korax's team, brandishing his battleaxe. "Heironeous smite thee, sinner!" Lars swings his battleaxe deftly and solidly into the human's shoulder, silver eyes shining for a moment with holy fervor. The human grits his teeth and curses under the weight of the blow, tightening his grip on his short sword. The bloodied human shifts closer to the chainmail-shirt-clad, longsword-wielding half-elf.

Orinar flexes his might thews and shrugs his mighty shoulders as he holds his massive blade easily in hand...

Trial by Combat (Round 2)

Orinar flexes his mighty thews and shrugs his mighty shoulders as he holds his massive blade easily in hand as the curate declares combat started. Then, the half-giant rushes forward. The human fighting with Lars grins wickedly.

"Your doom is sealed," he says loudly.

Orinar and Lars feel a bottomless well of despair open within their hearts. Orinar shakes off the powerful emotion as he continues his charge, changing up his grip on his sword, and slashing it at the dwarf in a powerful, savage attack! Orinar's blade hews into Korax's chainmail.

The dwarf growls savagely and slashes at the half-giant with a dwarven waraxe. The blade glances off Orinar's hip and lower ribs. Orinar feels the familiar warm sting of blood in a fresh wound. The half-elf ducks and rolls, kicking up a cloud of dust as he tumbles to Lars's flank. He stabs with his sword, but Lars's armor harmlessly shunts the blow.

"See that the elf doesn't die," Curate Anselm says to one of the cleric, who nods and makes ready to move.

OOC: End of round 1. Next actions, please!

[sblock=Lars]
Don't forget that Will save (DC 15). If Lars fails, he's affected by crushing despair.

OOC: No problemo. On that note, there's no reason why everyone just can't post their desired actions without regard to initiative order, et cetera. Provide an sblocked alternative plan if you'd like.

Lars Crichton

Lars sidesteps the half-elf's attack and steels his mind against the evil human's threat. He glares at the human as he steps away just enough for the half-elf to stop threatening his backside for a moment, while he hefts the cold iron axe in his right hand and brings it down again with significant force on the human's left shoulder this time!

"Forget it, knave. Heironeous willing, I won't have to bear your evil stench much longer and you'll meet your just end," the silver-eyed, platinum-haired man says with cold seriousness. Lightening up for just a second, he adds with a short smirk before returning to seriousness, "Then I'll have myself a beer so I can forget your ugly mug."

[sblock=OOC]I haven't been able to post or reply for much of this week because EN World's stupid googleads keep freezing up my browser.

Lars takes a 5-foot step to the right, getting out of the enemy flanking setup, and takes another swipe at the human enemy that apparently just cast something without any noticeable spell......

Finally got InvisibleCastle to come up and roll for me.....20 on my Will save against Crushing Despair, by sheer luck since I typically wouldn't have passed with my measely +3 Will.
1d20+3=20

Lars' attack roll is a 17 to hit, for 7 damage. A surprising bit of good luck that can't possibly last. InvCas hates me too much for that.
1d20+5=17, 1d8+2=7

Status: Lars Crichton, Aasimar Paladin 2 of Heironeous
HP 22 / 22, Nonlethal 0, Armored Nonlethal Conversion 5
AC 15, touch 13, flat-footed 12, Speed 20 ft.

For reference, Lars only speaks Common and Celestial.[/sblock]

 

[Neurotic]

Menno steps forward and spits out another bolt of fire at the closes enemy carefuly aiming it not to envelop Lars.

"Lars, move away from them!"

He waits for the opportunity to catch more then one in color spray or grease without catching any of his melee compaions.

OOC: I'm not sure if I can move more then 5' before using fire bolt...I think it's same as spell so no, but I'm not sure...

[sblock=Actions]
Move one square forward
Toss firebolt at half elf on his front, opposite side from that Lars took. (I'm guessing Lars stepped right so fire bolt goes in front of the half elf on Orinar's side)
IC is down, please roll 2d6 fire damage.
EDIT: it works: Fire bolt (2d6=6)

OOC: Mark it would be great if you could write coordinates on the map
