[LPF] Precious Cargo

[Qik]

[sblock=OOC]Yeah, sorry about that. The reason for the handwaving in the last encounter had been because you were getting jumped in the midst of boarding the cart, it felt as though I was penalizing you all if I had you a) all get in the cart and then have to jump out, or b) I arbitrarily chose who was or was not in the cart. Sorry for the inconsistency on that, though.

Everyone but Eanos still to act.[/sblock]

 

[IronWolf]

Fulgrim jumps down from the cart and moves up against the wall of the alley and moves as quickly as he can towards the intersection ahead.

[sblock=OOC]

Move action to exit the cart. 30' move to F7 (I think I can reach there).

Maui reaches down from the cart and touches Taniwha's tail. "Te ra!" It begins to give off a bright glow. "Ka mate Taniwha! Attack!"

The cheetah becomes a blur of action as it closes ground quickly on their invisible foe, jaws snapping at the crouching figures neck. Meanwhile Maui gets down from the cart and draws his scimitar shouting:

"There is no escape Dog Master! Te cat has you in its paws!"

[sblock=OOC]The way I read this entry, when you use a potion, it heals the same amount of nonlethal damage as it does lethal damage. So if you roll a 6 for a CLW potion, it heals 6 nonlethal damage in addition to 6 lethal damage. So Maui should be good to go.

Tamarel/Sauvressa to act to end the round.[/sblock]

 

[Tark]

Sauvressa calls out a terrible and beautiful warsong as she bounds foward off the cart with her glaive pointing forward almsot before Temarel can throw another protective ward over her. As others try to rush the caster Temreal calls out. "Don't get too far away! We still must protect the cargo!"

[sblock=OOC][MENTION=72304]Tark[/MENTION]: As per this post and the subsequent confirmation, Sauvressa's mage armor from before is still running. I'm going to give you a bit of time to retcon while I down some lunch, then I'm going to push ahead and let you retcon as desired after the fact.[/sblock]

Even in the midst of springing into action, the group manages to cherish the shocked expression on the summoner's face as he realizes he's visible to them. Standing flat-footed, surprised, he makes an easy target for Taniwha, who lands a solid bite on the halfling. Stepping back, the spellcaster wipes the blood from his face, and recites the now-familiar incantation of summoning.

A trio of dogs appear, each attacking the first party member they see: one lands a viscous bite on Taniwha, another a similarly-lethal bite on Eanos, and the third charges ahead at Fulgrim. Sauvressa is quick to deal the creature a mighty blow, but it continues on, near death, and manages to bite Fulgrim in spite of the grievous wound, sending the dwarf down onto the road.

Unfortunately for the group, there's more: the summoner's eidolon emerges from the darkness of the alleyway and lands another bite on Taniwha, once again sending the cat to the ground.

[sblock=OOC]Whew - I never would have thought how emotionally taxing it is to be on the GM's side of the screen, especially when things go your way. Out of the four attack rolls I made that round, three were confirmed criticals. My lord.

Eanos takes 17 damage, Taniwha takes 12 and 13 respectively for a total of 25 (placing her at -2 and dying), and Fulgrim takes 11 damage and is tripped (in spite of his dwarfy bonus). On the plus side, Sauvressa landed her AoO against the dog which charged Fulgrim, dealing 16 damage, including Power Attack (1 shy of downing the creature, unfortunately).

Sorry guys - I'm really not trying to kill you, I swear.

PCs up.[/sblock][sblock=Map]

Maui rushes forward. His silence speaks far greater volumes of the suffering their foe is about to go through if Maui reaches him than any scream of rage could convey.

OOC: Using real dice as opposed to digital dice is a big advantage IMHO. But in any case we were dumb to attack him from so far away. We should have played dumb and got closer.

Fulgrim strikes at the dog near him from the ground with his axe as he tries to take its legs out from under it. After the dog falls, Fulgrim stands and prepares to move himself closer to the battle.

[sblock=ooc]

Using real dice as opposed to digital dice is a big advantage IMHO.

Especially when the summoning dice are apparently only capable of rolling max.

But in any case we were dumb to attack him from so far away. We should have played dumb and got closer.

My assumption from the 'no surprise, both sides are ready' line was that our not acting = summoner goes first, so all we'd be doing is losing a round of actions. It's entirely possible I misinterpreted that, though, and mea culpa for leading the charge in that case. My rolls this round aren't helping me or Eanos win any further favor, I'm afraid.[/sblock]

Eanos curses himself for giving in to instinct instead of planning when the dogs appear, and tries to course-correct.

"Maui! Tamerel! Start peppering the field with .... aaaah!"

The archer cries out in pain as the dog's jaws tear into his shoulder, nearly managing to hit the vital arteries of his neck. He lifts his cestus as if to bash the dog in retaliation, then he takes a step back, fighting down the pain to focus.

"We can see you now, little man, remember?" He says, voice cold and even despite the blood running down his arm. "And we know your secret: kill you, kill all of them. Say hello to Issolatha for me when she casts you down to a hell realm for smearing her name, will you?"

Eanos fires, though his injured shoulder makes aiming difficult.

[sblock=actions]Move: 5' step to D1
Standard: Longbow attack. I believe dogs being on all fours means they don't count as soft cover (at least, that's how it worked in Roaming Dead), so I rolled without. Pretty sure it missed, since I can't imagine he doesn't have mage armor active, but I can always hope for overconfidence in his invisibility spell...
