Marked By Destiny, Marked by Tragedy Part 2 (No Judge Yet)

(OOC: Indeed--but if we haven't seen the baddies yet, I guess they get surprise on us unless we make spot or listen)

ooc: It's worse than that. They're in place for an ambush, and thus not moving... no listen check. They also have total concealment (and in fact only Silvanon even has line of effect) so no spot check. In the surprise round, they readied actions on various conditions.[/sblock]

Round 1 Begins
As Silvanon climbs down the knotted rope, there is a cry in the darkness. If any can speak Kobold, they recognize the command as "Fire!" The twang of several crossbow bolts volleying in unison can be heard.

Kobold 1 (1d20+3=21, 1d8=7)
Kobolds 2, 3 and 4 (1d20+3=10, 1d8=6, 1d20+3=9, 1d8=1, 1d20+3=17, 1d8=8)

Silvanon is hit twice and crumples to the gound, in desperate need of aid!

[Arvan is up]

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Uh...heh! Just a quickie--are those heavy crossbows, the ones with super-long reload times? If not, kobolds are size small, so that should be 1d6 each (important since there were two rolls of 7 on 1d8)

Ah, good point!

Damage rerolls, size small (1d6=2, 1d6=6)

(OOC: Score! Not quite dead )

 

[Patlin]

(To clarify, Silvanon is still down, but isn't as desperate.)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Right. Rogues really need 14 Con at 1st level or they're in big trouble since they often have to scout ahead or go into melee for a SA. Especially when it's a level 1 Rogue in a mixed 1/2 group)

ooc: And while it didn't effect any of those rolls, since none of them were middle of the road, being attacked while climbing is bad for any Dex based character! (Unless you have a climb speed... can't think of any other exceptions.)

Silvanon, Rogue 1, Hp: -1/7

As he climbs down the final portion of the shaft, he hears some strange tongue from up ahead. Then hears several 'twangs' that he quickly realizes are crossbow strings. He feels two of the bolts pierce his armor and the last thing he thinks before he falls to the ground is, "#!$%!%^, just my luck...."

With that, he lays splayed out on the ground, bleeding from two rather nasty bolts that are sticking out of his chest.

OOC: MEDIC!

 

[stonegod]

Weapon hears the bolts and feels the rope go tight. "Use the rope or let me jump," he says quickly. He waits to see if any will be using his rope before committing to an action.

OOC: Delay until after Alys if folks want to climb down. Otherwise, he'll Jump down on purpose; he succeeds with a 16, allowing him to ignore the first 10 feat, treat the second 10 as nonlethal, and the rest as normal. And lets not forget the DR 3. He's going to jump eventually, the question is the timing.

OOC: A few classes (Windwright Captain, Dread Pirate, maybe Swashbuckler) give you that feature.
