Last Stand of the Dorinthians (Chapter 3 - The Imperials)

[Ilium]

Cursing himself for an amateur, Chalik dashes off to the side, trying to find some cover to prevent the riders from simply trampling over him while not leading them toward the Dorinthians.

OOC: entended Mage Armor takes up a 2nd level slot instead of a 1st, and lasts 2 hours per level instead of 1 hour per level. Normal adjustment to AC of +4 giving Silas (currently) AC 13.

"Aiiiaiiiaiii!" Yelling and wildly waving his quarterstaff in large arcs over his head, Silas dashes forward to interpose himself in between the fleeing soldier and the bear. He'll take a swing at the bear to distract it from the soldier. (Staff: +4 melee, 1d6+3)

Danica's first bolt connected, and though she has not yet begun to breathe again, she is proud of herself for holding her ground. The bear is beside her now, pursuing the man with the sword. She fires again as the bear passes, taking another step to the side to give it just that little bit more room. She reaches to reload again, assuming that the bear does not turn on her due to the masterful precision of her shot, in which case she will not reload but do something else.

Hoping to distract the other bear, Dartis fires a pair of arrows at the bear threatening the two spearmen.

"Well Alex, we can't let Chalik take them all by himself. Let's go" Kel says as he makes his way as cautiously as he can as quickly as he can towards the dwarf and the soldiers.

OOC: Trying to get as close as possible without being seen but doing so as quickly as he can.

Chalik, Alexander, Kel
[sblock]
The horsemen stop in front of Chalik with weapons ready, but then one of them gives a shout as he sees Kel and Alexander crouching low and heading towards them from the tall grass. Kel and Alexander are now 30 feet from the horsemen, which are in a semicircle and only a few feet from Chalik.

Despite their numbers, the captain of the cavalry licks his lips nervously and lifts his weapon high above his head and yells, "You three! Surrender and drop your weapons in the name of the Emperor, or else meet steel!"

Silas, Dartis, Danica
[sblock]
Danica misses her shot, though Silas' staff cracks the bear against the side of its head. The beast looks to be in bad shape, and makes a pitiful swipe at Silas that bounces off his magical armor.

The second bear cuts down the second spearman, both claws slamming down on top of the poor man, and its jaws crunching down upon the man's neck with a sickly spray of blood. The bear yells in anger, however, as Dartis rides by the creature and plucks two arrows deep into its side.

"And I suggest you ride back to your flea ridden misbegotten bastard of a master before you meet your death" Kel says cooly as he tests the balance of his long sword with his right hand "The Huntress knows this is a lonely place to die" the elf growls with a sweep of his hand, his eyes locked on the leader of the soldiers and his left hand grasping the holy symbol of his Goddess.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Danica curses herself for missing a point blank shot, but exhales, inhales, and fires a third bolt at the wounded creature. Then reloads.

 

[Ilium]

Chalik stops and surveys the situation for a moment before adding, "You never know what might come out of the grass next..."

 

[GlassEye]

Silas will whack the bear again.
