[Adventure] The Race of the Five Horns (DM: stonegod, Judge: THB)

[pathfinderq1]

It was obvious that words were not going to win this fight- and Rikka had no problem with that. She drew her longbow and aimed carefully at the angry woman- and these were not the blunted arrows she had used during the contests. Even as the arrow was in flight, Rikka scampered back up onto the stage, trying for a clearer shot...


[sblock= OOC]
>Minor: (once per encounter MC) Quarry Twinrose
>Standard: RBA with longbow against Twinrose; +9 vs. AC= 25 (probably a hit- if so, deals 14 base +3 quarry= 17 damage); rolls Roll Lookup

>Move: back up onto the stage at A2

[MetaVoid]

Bellegon moves between the lord and would-be assassins.
"You're an amateur and idiot. If you really wanted to kill him and not just make the show, you would do it at the end when everyone was too drunk and a bit more separated. And definitely not while the strongest group was in the middle of attention. How would it look if we allow you to spoil our ceremony?"

He motions toward the hound and it's shadow deepens. Increasing cold around him finally puts down the fiery reminder there was a mage here.

NOTE: Darkfire lasts until TR goes again, you have CA

[pacdidj]

OOC: Delaying my turn so that Ryk and Spring can take advantage of CA and +2 damage vs. Twinrose. Rikka's attack should also have received these bonuses.

 

[On Puget Sound]

Seeing the rebel woman beset on all sides, Ryk gains a bit of confidence and moves closer, Spring following protectively. The halfling hurls his boomerang and grins as the enchanted weapon bites deeply and returns to his hand.

Despite his success, he's careful to keep a pillar between himself and his enemies.

MOVE: Ryk to J11, Spring to J10
MINOR: quarry Twinrose (drops quarry from metal dog)
STANDARD: twin strike Twinrose with boomerang, hits once for 12 (unlikely 2nd hit for 8 more)

[stonegod]

OOC: TENT effects benefit any player only once. Darkfire is until ENT Bellegon, not Twinrose. So only Rikka & Vok could benefit from Darkfire (the rest having gone after Bellegon last round); only Rik doesn't benefit from Inspired Belligerence (since he benefited last round going after Crush). This is the same as it would be if we had rolled init (as everyone would have gone once before someone's turn came up again; delaying does not delay end of turn effects).

 

[pacdidj]

OOC: Missed that he acted after Crush last time, but judging by his rolls, it looks like OPS didn't factor in the Inspired Belligerence bonuses last round. And Rikka should receive the damage and CA bonuses at any rate.

 

[stonegod]

OOC: I'll adjust the totals. Crush is still up.

 

[renau1g]

Vok continues to draw the woman's attention while stepping around her to hopefully give Crush an opening, his head swimming from both the blood loss and the magic effect of Twinrose.

[pacdidj]

Ignoring the threat of the construct at his flank, Crush assumes the most menacing stance possible, leveling the tip of his blade at Twinrose's collarbone. The warforged hisses in a whisper that nonetheless carries above the noise of battle, "Enough of this woman! What is your grievance against Lord ir'Haran? Have out with it, or decide now how you'd like to spend your final moments among the living."

[stonegod]

OOC: Intimidate is a standard action in combat, and thus Crush cannot make it this turn. Of course, he can still yell at her anyway without being so scary as a free action.
