[Eberron] What Lurks Below (IC)

[The Baron]

The ranger methodically fires off two arrows at the creature as he moves to give his injured client cover. The first arrow travels just to the side as the creature dodges. The second arrow finds its mark, sinking deep into the creature's chest cavity. The creature's legs wobble as he looks down at his chest in shock. He turns, trying to get away. He seems barely able to keep himself upright.

Jeth'bar - 1st shot: 10=failure; 2nd shot: 19=success, damage=11

The other injured creature to the north does the same. He spins around and staggers off towards the darkness. However, the rest of the creatures move forward, and as they do so, the light pushes the darkness away from their forms, revealing them as shifters covered in fur-clad armor, wielding daggers in each hand. Their faces are concealed by a fur-lined helmet, the top fasioned to look like a wolf's head.

The one in front of the dog slashes once at its head but misses. However, it follows through with the motion, spinning around before landing the other dagger deep into the dog's skull. Rip the guard dog, yelps, shakes for a brief moment and then collapses into the grass. The shifter chuckles and takes a menacing step towards the mage on the horse.

The other shifters reach the road and begin to charge forward towards the group, two from the east and one from the west.

ooc: waiting for Gedward.

 

[PlotMonster]

Gedward stands next to Jannis as the blood pours from his body. At first, he seems to be unaware of the mayhem surrounding him. Arrows fly, the dog falls, and still Gedward seems unsure of what to do, as his head spins in different directions.

Then, suddenly, he gets a look of determination on his face. Realizing he doesn't have time, he places his hands on Jannis, reciting a prayer to Boldrei.

Gedward casts cure minor wounds on Jannis.

"There is no need for this violence," Gedward shouts, as he draws his longsword and takes a step toward the bandit from the west.

ooc: Now at K15.

 

[The Baron]

Blood ceases gushing from Jannis's wounds, but he remains face down in the increasingly muddy dirt road. Gedward steps towards the approaching bandit, but he stays on his coarse, bearing down on Tykri, daggers at ready.

ooc: updated map below. As a further note, i've decided to only show the roll and the result, so it feels more like a table top game with less information conveyed through the dice rolls. I will also try to post everyone's location on the grid after each move from now on.

2nd Round: Tykri, Kennith, Kort, archer (unseen), Dormon, Jeth'bar, shifters, Gedward, Jannis (incapacitated).

 

[The Baron]

OOC: Sorry about the delay on the map. Should be below. And it's now a readable size! Waiting on Tykri.

 

[Wyrmslayer]

Damn, you!!! You dog-murderer!!!!!!!!howled Kennith as he heard the last cry of Ripper before it went doggone. Angry, Kennith turned towards the shifter that just killed his dog and cast an arcane spell while giving dagger eyes. "Good-night, scum" whispered Kennith as he finished his casting.


(ooc:Standard action:cast sleep spell on B2., If spell look successful, (b2 fall asleep), Kennith moves to l8 to be as near to b2 as possible)(Posting first because going to be busy for two days, sorry )

 

[Krug]

Tykri draws her bow back and unleashes another arrow at another of the bandits methodically.

"Take that you scum!" she says forcefully.

Fire at B5

 

[The Baron]

Tykri launches an arrow at the back of the retreating shifter. It strikes near the spine and the shifter goes limp, tumbling to the ground.

As the last arcane word leaves Kennith's lips, his attacker stops moving, closes his eyes, and sinks into the field grass. The mage, atop his horse, moves towards the sleeping shifter.

ooc:
Tykri - attack: 16=hit (6 dmg)
Kennith - now at L8
B2 is asleep, B5 is incapacitated

waiting for Kort

 

[Krug]

Ok I actually meant B6. The 6 kinda looked like a 5.. but if it's b5 it's ok. The mark on the map isn't too clear.

 

[P0L]

Kort, Halfling BBN1/FTR1

Roaring, rain streaking from his face, Kort charges towards the nearest opponent. His sword readied over his right shoulder swings in a diagonal downward cut.


ooc:
charge B4
2pt power attack: melee +7, for 1d10+7, 19-20/x2

 

[taitzu52]

Jeth'bar looks behind him as the cleric works on their ill fated employer. This is getting too close, he thinks, as he watches Jannis writhe on the ground. Quickly, he refocuses his thoughts, and sends two more arrows to bear upon his foes.

(OOC- Two arrows at B3, 5' step to M14)
