D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[gargoyleking]

Dandin had crossbow duty at the moment, they'd decided to take turns as it was a hot seat, in more ways than one. Titus being the obvious exception as he preferred to ride his new mount. For Dandin's part, he realized that he should be more aware, but it was such a nice day out he couldn't really help but enjoy the scenery. He was leaning back munching on an apple, the normal kind, he'd had yet another barrel brought along as was his custom. In fact, he was just about as surprised as the orc was. But that didn't stop him from leaning forward to wind up the draw string and loading the 'bolt' into place where the orc could see just how large it was. Titus was too close by then for him to aim at the orc, so he simply moved it into a ready position, in case there were more about.

Orcs were said to respond notoriously badly to threats, and this one was no exception: He shouted a warning in orcish, suggesting that others were probably not far away, and he went for his axe with a mind to cut Titus off his horse.

“Bleedin’ idiot,” Angis said from his position by one of the arrow slits built into the war wagon. He cast a quick spell, stuck out his heavy crossbow and fired at the orc.

Lionel was driving, and he turned the wagon at an angle on the narrow road, so that Angis's arrow-port had good sight-lines toward the enemy. Angis poked his crossbow out and fired, and the orc spun sideways as it brought its axe down on Titus' shield. The young nobleman controlled his new warhorse with his legs, as he had been trained to do. From his height on horseback, Titus could see two more orcs running toward him from up the road. From the orcish shouts it seemed that there were probably more where those came from.

As the orcs came into view Dandin lowered the crossbow and fired off a shot at the first one. He hasn't had a lot of practice though, and the oversized bolt buried itself in the dirt at the orc's feet.

With the wagon stopped, Angis wasn’t going to leave Titus out there alone. He kicked open the door and hopped out (assuming half movement, 15’?) and marched toward the orc, leveling his crossbow again and firing at the monster, but he had to pull the shot when Titus’ horse got in the way.

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi had been quiet since the wagon had begun its journey towards Floshin. Sitting in the wagon, his back to the front of the hold, the sun rested on his face and he lazily sat with his eyes closed.

He was thinking of her, of course. And of their time together. She hadn't let her guard down at first, but there was no doubt in his mind his time since the Rescue at Julkoun had been well spent. Sherlen had her responsibilities, of course, but he wasn't one of them. Well, not a professional responsibility, at least. It was all a bit of a haze when he thought about her, not quite seeing how he had got into the position he was in, and pretty certain it could end at a moment's hesitation from her.

But for now it was real, and the two of them had had breakfast with his mom early before heading out, eggs that Tommi himself had scrambled, and served with toast and hot sauce, which only he had added.

"Won't be long," he promised as he kissed his mom, but they both knew he was lying. Sherlen knew it as well. It was that look, on her face, as the wagon had driven away, that he kept in his mind then, and it was still then in his imagination now, as he heard Titus address an unseen foe.

Tommi rolled over the edge of the cart, and sprinted, his wrist making small semicircles as the sling wrapped around his forearm unwound.

OOC: Move/Action/Bonus: I think I can make it to S19. Reaction (if enemy ends w/in 5'): ove another 15' (to S16?)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Dandin fired the wagon's mounted crossbow and burried the quarrel into the ground as Titus spun his horse, trying to defend himself as another orc charged toward him, hacking into his thigh with a nasty-looking axe. Angis burst from inside the wagon and fired his crossbow, missing the first orc as it ducked behind Titus' war horse, Blaze. Tommi ran past Angis, and he met a third charging orc under the rise of rocks. As the orc moved toward him, Tommi ducked to one side, and quickly darted past the orc, who failed to arrest his momentum in time to keep up to the nimble young man.

Blaze reared, and Titus barely managed to keep on the horse. He took the hit to his side, grunting the pain away. He glared at the offending Orc, feeling his power well within. His right eye glowed, and he could see energy seeping in to the Orc. Dark energy, sapping at its strength.

Titus' sword began to glow green, and he swung.

OOC: Bonus Action: Hex on the Orc that hit him, dealing an extra 1d6 and he is cursing Strength Checks.
