[LPF] Faith and Good Works

[Maidhc O Casain]

When he hears the man speaking to Fury and giving the command to the Wrathspawn to attack, Bren immediately begins calling out observations and advice to his friends.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera calls over her shoulder, "Bren, can you bring my glaive. I might need it."

She whistles to Carak to come and protect her. The husky comes hustling along to resume guarding his mistress.

With her greatsword in hand she steps up beside Fury and draws a chakram, cocking her arm in preparation to send the whirling blade spinning into the first wrathspawn that comes close.

"After all those tests on tactics, maybe we should let them come to us and fight within the doorway."

Rattegift grabs hold of a rope that hangs over a pulley near the ceiling, and then triggers a small explosion at the top of the second set of stairs. The stairs come crashing to the ground, the rope pulls the doctor into the maze of catwalks where he immediately disappears from view. While there are multiple tubes that run from floor to ceiling, none looks strong enough to support a person's weight, and the pillars and walls are smooth marble. With both sets of stairs down, there's no readily apparent way to follow him up.

"I zuppose I should introduce myself," the doctor's voice comes from somewhere out of sight. "Doktor Viktor Vieraugen von Rattegift, the greatest alchemist of this generation, and perhaps any other."

The wrathspawn advance, ripping the doors open. The large crystals continue to whine, sending pulses of crackling greenish energy down the pipes toward the tanks that line the walls. Inside the tanks, the some of the wrathsawn begin to twitch and scrabble at the inside of the glass.

.. Doktor Rattegift ...


[sblock=GM]Wrathspawn are AC 18/14 FF. Aside from the two that opened the doors, all the others took single moves and have readied attacks.

Map is retconned slightly, as I had one of the pillars out of place it is was bugging me.[/sblock][sblock=Tomb Map]

"Got it!" (5ft step to J11 to pick up Glaive in J12 of previous map with his remaining actions for the round.)

Orlando Furioso, Venzan bravo

Fury curses himself soundly for having alerted the room's occupants when the door is roughly jerked from his grasp by the wrathspawn.

"What is it about mad alchemists?" he mutters after catching a glimpse of the strangeness within the tomb chamber. With a wink and an aside to Cythera he says, "Fast devils, aren't they? So how 'bout just this side of the doorway?"

Fury grins and sweeps his rapier up in a move designed to draw the eye of his opponent and distract then drops the point in a simple thrust maneuver.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

[sblock=OOC stuff]A few things for you, Systole.
1. Cythera should be at A12 and beside Fury, and her readied attack should have triggered as well.
2. What square was Rattegift last seen in? Why can we not see him, is it cover or darkness? Can we see the rope he was hanging on, or did he get off of it and is lost from view for another reason?
3. I think you are going to need to extend the map southward. It is to our advantage to step back and keep the wrathspawn bottlenecked at the doorway and fight there instead of entering the chamber.[/sblock]Cythera continues her intricate footwork and her sword flashes with the arcane sigils outlined in glowing magical etchings. Gripping the weapon in both hands, she slashes out at the wounded wrathspawn, laying into him the large sword scores on deep slash.

She comments wryly, "Great, we have found a megalomaniac."

"Yes, let's step back and let them just inside the doorway where we have numerical advantage."

She makes some space to let the first of the wrathspawn come to her and enter the doorway.

[sblock=OOC]1. Missed your readied attack, sorry. It will hit, and that and Fury's attack will drop one of the the two in the doorway. Cythera's regular attack will drop the other one.
2. Rattegift was last seen in O17, about 20 or 25 feet above the floor. The rope that went over the pulley was attached to the stairway on the other end. He used the momentum of the falling stairway to pull himself into the catwalks, where he immediately disappeared into cover. The rope continued to go over the pulley and is now lying in a heap on top of the second stairwell.
3. I will extend the map southward if you'd like.

Fury shouldn't worry too much -- they were coming anyway. Trust me. And yes, Rattegift is a fast devil. And a megalomaniac. And he has all kinds of mad scientist contingency plans. I like him immensely.

Bren is left for this round.[/sblock]

Oops - thought my grabbing of the pole-arm had done for me. I'll get a post up this evening.

Nope, that was left over actions from the round before, mate.

Thanks, Systole.[/sblock]
