[Hanged Man Sidebar]: Rhagast's Row (DM: H.M.Gimlord, Judge! Quick! A judge!)

[FourMonos]

"Hey! Brute, pick on someone your own size!"

Realizing he is no where near the size of the minotaur, Artemis strides up onto the table behind him to make his threat seem more plausible. Artie swings his light and dark blade making threatening humming sounds as he moves toward the minotaur.

*vroom* *vmm*

It is to Artemis's advantage is that the minotaur largely ignores him. As he swings his blade down and across Rhagast's shoulder, light flashes from the contact.

Practically jumping from horizontal to vertical, Gil rushes to Lerrick's side, Thanks, obviously, we need to stay away from him. comments the scholar whilst brushing himself off.

Phoenix, I can turn a large area caustic, where do you want it? asks Gil, Everyone inside wouldn't be able to breath.

[H.M.Gimlord]

Brastrix, having narrowly dodged Rhagast's blow, flourishes and stabs deep into the sinew of the bull-hemoth.

Rhagast staggers back in surprise, inspecting the wound, "Well rip me sails, Thar's fight in ye yet!"

Brastrix, however, is not listening. Before the brute can react, the nimble dragonborn leaps the bar. Blagarm gives startled, "Aaahhh" as Brastrix comes down, nearly on top of him.

"You're too slow for me, sea slug!" Brastrix taunts as he backs away, hoping to lure the minotaur on.

Robin abandons the door, charging up behind Rhagast and taking the minotaur by surprise, "'At's fer th'knife ya stuck'n Sulley's back!" The dwarf gloats as his cutlass finds home.

"Oooooow!" Grum bats at the flames like so many gnats, "Watchum fie-yur girlie!"

Still burning, his attention now on Rhagast, he bellows, "Gittum Grim!" to his brother as he leaves Rhagast's side, scrambling over the bar. Incredibly, the bugbear manages to get his arms around Rhagast's massive trunk, pinning the minotaurs arms, "Gottum Grim!"

"Grim coming Grum!" Grim rounds the crowd engulfing Rhagast and charges forward, his cutlass slicing at the minotaur, but Rhagast brings his horns around and parries the blow. Grim also tries to grab the sea-bull, but between Rhagast's size and his brothers arms, he can't find a hold, "Holdum still Grum!"

Riannah follows robbin, slashing at Rhagast with her cutlass, and finding a bit more luck than her bugbear comrade, "That's how it's done Grim."

Backing up to the wall she notices a knife-throwing board leaned up on a chair, grabs the knife and hurls a cheap shot a the minotaur, but the knife flies wide, nearly taking of Grim's ear.

"Watchum aim!"

Rhagast is having none of this, "Aaaaaaaraaaaah!" The minotaur opens his arms and breaks the bugbear's grip as easily as if he were shrugging off a towel after a morning bath. Following up, he lifts his axe and sends Grum flying back, "Donchie be runnin' 'way from me ye lilly-livered cow-word!"

Rhagast launches himself over the bar, ignoring the crowd around him, focusing solely on the rival pirate. Phoenix takes a tumble under Rhagast's charge and hits the floor hard, but not before making the evil pirate pay for the afront. Fire burns into the minotaur, causing noticeable damage.


Rhagast keeps going until he breathing down at Brastrix. "Ye can't win Brastrix!" The minotaur pants, blowing steam from his nostrils, "Ye'll die a'fore th'night's out."

GM: @Iron Sky : I used Phoenix's Infernal Wrath instead of Shield. I firgured that since Rhagast didn't exactly bloody her, she wouldn't mind doing 34 damage to him. If you'd rather take Shield, I can retcon.

[sblock=Map]

[/sblock][sblock=Terrain!]Furniture is difficult terrain and small furniture can be used as an improvised weapon. Tables offer cover against creatures on the opposite side.

Tables can be flipped with a DC 12 Strength check as a minor action. Flipped tables offer superior cover and total concealement to prone creatures against creatures on the opposite side.

Any single square of furniture has 20 structural hitpoints. Destroyed furniture is no longer difficult terrain.

The bar can be hurdled with a DC 15 athletics check. Even then, it costs 2 squares of movement to traverse the bar.

The bar offers cover to standing creatures and superior cover / total concealment to prone creatures against creatures on the opposite side.[/sblock][sblock=Rhagast's Stats]

I used Phoenix's Infernal Wrath instead of Shield. I firgured that since Rhagast didn't exactly bloody her, she wouldn't mind doing 34 damage to him. If you'd rather take Shield, I can retcon.

OOC: A couple things, I thought Grim and Grum were on Rhagast's side... I suppose I should have clarified to see if they looked like they were planning on attacking Phoenix or Rhagast. If there's any way I can not target them (the spell only targets enemies) I'll do that. As for Shield and Infernal Wrath, I'd rather use Shield. He'll take the 34 damage anyway (from Fire Shield + Hellhound), Infernal Wrath just adds 2d6+9 more.

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: My mistake. So be it. Retconned

 

[Iron Sky]

OOC: Internet has been down at our house for two days, hopefully get it up today, but might not. I'll try to update soon, but don't have long enough breaks during the day to run a turn.

 

[FourMonos]

OOC: I'm just going to wait until IS does his turn. I'll likely get fried to a crisp with one of his fire attacks if I put myself too close to the action too soon

Lerrick, seeing that no one is in any immediate danger, goes on the offense, attempting to weaken the Rhagast's defenses. Mumbling a chant and thrusting her hands foward. The minotaur grunts in discomfort, obviously effected by the Lerrick's action. The half-elf smiles Yess!
