Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 2, Flight

Valurel launches one last arrow at the nearest goblin and then slings his bow back across his shoulders, readying himself for the arrival of the enemy. He will resort to attacking with his claws as soon as he is engaged by a worg or goblin. He positions himself in what he hopes will keep the goblins and worgs from charging past him. He doesn't want Aislinn and Kaela endangered any more than they already are.

Micar fired a single bolt from his crossbow at the lead worg, then drew his sepi from beneath his cloak. Knowing worgs prefer to torment small prey he stepped forward and to the side, attempting to draw some of the worgs away and into the heavy brush. "Get Aislinn and Fallax into the forest. If you have to escape you stand a better chance there than on open!" Morns lips were drawn back in a feral grin as he faced the charging worgs. No quarter...

OOC: Sorry this post took so long. I had to look up everyone's attack bonuses, feats, etc. Remember, please post in an OOC tag attack bonus, weapon, damage, what feats you will attempt to use, skills, etc. so I can run combat smoothly. :)

Starhl slings his javelin with as much force as his mighty thews allow. The projectile strikes the shoulder of the lead worg, the evil wolf yelping in pain, blood matting his gray hide. Turning, it heads straight for Starhl on the hill. The massive wolf slams into Starhl, its jaws snapping in vain. Starhl pushes the worg away and swings with his mighty sword, slashing hide and bone. The bloodied worg backs away, eyeing Starhl with more respect before it begins it next charge.

Morn's bolt speeds toward one of the goblin riders, slamming into its shoulder. Letting out a howling cry of pain, the rider and worg bear down on the diminutive elfkin. Jaws snapping, the worg tries to pin the smaller Morn to the ground, but Morn's lithe body avoids the massive beast and its rider with its thrusting spear. Morn strikes out with his sepi wildly, missing both rider and worg.

Valurel meets worg and goblin rider head on, a collision of flesh and bone. His arm momentarily trapped in the beast's heavy jaws, Valurel is carried backward several yards by the worg's charge. Dazed, but not defeated, Valurel deftly avoids the clumsy stab of the goblin spear and rips the throat from the goblin rider, its lungs exhaling its last breath in a gurgle of blood. (OOC: Morn suffers 7 points of damage from the worg's jaws).

OOC: Reznik? Kaela?

Stepping through the trees, Herger spies a rag-tag band of men and women beset by the deadly trackers of the Shadow. Already blood has been spilt on both sides, but it seems only a matter of time before the massive worgs overrun their smaller opponents.

Herger sighs at the site before him. He had been told by the blacksmith not to get involved in others affairs. This was somehow different though. There were women being attacked by the shadows forces. This was something that he couldn't stand by idle and watch happen. The giant Dorn began running towards the fray, readying his axe midway there.

OOC:
Approximately how far does Herger have to run?

Slings and Arrows

Reznik
"Kaela, Aislinn, Stay close!", the Erenlander screamed as the worg riders closed in. Reznik could only watch helplessly as the beasts and their riders approached. He had no bow, no sling, not a even a common spear to break their advance. But, there was Starhl, and he was mighty a wall enough to slow an advance for a dagger to slip between ribs.

As a shadow to a body, Reznik paces Starhl, always within a few steps ready to lash out at their foes. He only prayed, to whatever being would listen, that Micar, Morn and Valurel could hold long enough against their foes for aid.

OOC: My backstab isn't exactly king (or my BAB), so I am going to assist Starhl by "Aiding Another". I'll attack against AC 10 and grant Starhl a +2 bonus to hit agains the Worg.

Rreznik has a Shortsword and Dagger in hand (2 weapon fighting, though only using the short sword atm). If anything gets near Kaela/Aislinn a dagger will be flying expeditiously at that body.

Attack Bonus: +1 BAB +3 Str = +4 (Melee)
+1 BAB +4 Dex = +5 (Ranged)

Admiring the weight of the blade, Starhl swings it again, trying to slice the worg apart. He looks around, moving towards Aislinn to protect her. "Die beast. Taste the bite of the blade again!"


Takes a 5' step towards Aislinn.
Attack bonus: +2 BAB +4 Str + 1 using weapon 2-handed + any additional bonus Bjorn's faith might have = +7 + ?
Damage bonus: 2d6 +6 Str (2H) - 19-20/x2 Crit

Claws and Jaws

Morn twisted and weaved desperately, grimacing at the worgs fetid breath as its jaws snapped shut above his head. Batting the goblins spear aside Morn lashed out at the outstreched arm, hoping to cripple the rider. And I always thought I'd die fighting orcs...

OOC: maddmic, Herger can get there next round. Will he charge or advance more cautiously?

The worg facing Starhl springs with lightning speed, landing on the Dorn's chest, teeth snapping, ripping into flesh. Pushing the beast off of him, blood matting his chest and beard, Starhl swings Bjorn's Faith in a wide arc, cleaving the massive wolf's skull and spewing its brains. Despite the damage, the worg fights on until Reznik's blade buries itself in its chest. The worg drops with a thud, crimson spreading in the wet grass. OOC: Starhl takes 8 points of damage from the worg.

Morn rolls as the worg rears over him, its teeth grazing his shoulder. Above, the goblin rider strikes with his spear, the dirty blade slicing along the elfkin's side. Grimacing in pain, Morn swings his fist upward, the curved blade of his sepi striking the goblin's midsection, spilling entrails as the goblin screams. Trying the stuff its guts back into its midsection, it rolls off the back of its worg mount. OOC: Morn takes 9 points of damage from the worg bite and goblin spear.

The worg fighting Valurel slams the Erunsil into the ground, mauling the elf. Screaming in pain, covered in blood, Valurel rips and tears with his claws. Blood, flesh, and worg hair cover Valurel's claws, the worg screaming in pain at the damage done to its face and shoulders. OOC: Valurel takes 6 points of damage from the worg.

drip drip drip goes the blood

Blood choked off morns howl of pain as the worgs jaws snapped shut about his midsection and shook him like a rag doll. Striking the ground hard morn rolled over and struggled to his feet, barely able to hold onto his blade....


ooc: at exactly 0 hit points now

Herger begins to move faster towards the combat. He eyes his target and increases his speed to a full run, hoping to catch his target off guard.

OOC:
Herger will charge. What's the difference between a 10AC and a 12AC? :) What's the foe count? He'll move to the warg closest to the females and Morn if that's possible.

Weapon: Large Greataxe +9 to hit (+7, +2 for charging) 3d6+6 damage x3 crit
