[QUOTE="mhd, post: 3637334, member: 16805"] In a concerted effort, Team Dragon prepares to take the Ogre down. Baraka pulls the bowstring taut agains his cheek and lets fly, staggering the Ogre with a solid hit to its solid ribcage [COLOR=Sienna](19+5, 3+2 dmg)[/COLOR]. With a practised stroke Lt. Tensen strikes, but misses [COLOR=Sienna](3+4)[/COLOR] the suddenly very defensive giantkin. Meanwhile, Novhilion aims and [COLOR=Sienna](17+2, dmg 8-1)[/COLOR] manages to hit the Ogre right between the eyes. He's going down fast and hard, hitting the floor of the warehouse with a resounding thump. Oakheart steps forward, looks down and around. The Ogre has hit the bottom. He points his crossbow towards the gnoll, ready to let a bolt fly if things get too dire for poor skinny Harper. Kuro Bron straightens his clothes and picks up his last magical stone, ready to let go in an instant. The kneeling gnoll, survey the situation, grimaces as his compatriot is going down -- and makes for the skycart! He runs along the ledge [COLOR=Sienna](18+4)[/COLOR] and leaps on the cart[COLOR=Sienna] (8+6)[/COLOR], reaching for the controls. Abe tries to grab him as he passes, but with his shield he's just to slow[COLOR=Sienna] (6-3)[/COLOR]. He drops what he's holding in his hands and jumps towards the skycart, landing on the hard roof [COLOR=Sienna](4-3)[/COLOR]. Baraka climbs the wall [COLOR=Sienna](10+6)[/COLOR] and looks down. Truly, the commotion has caused the guard to stir. Tying his belt, he runs towards the door to the warehouse. Nocking another arrow, Baraka continues to watch the street, trying to avoid being seen by someone down below. Lt. Tensen drops his shield and grabs the skycart's edge, trying to pull himself up, although his time of chin-ups as a recruit have been long ago [COLOR=Sienna](4-5)[/COLOR] Novhilion moves towards the top of the roof, trying to get a better angle to shoot or cast from. He moves carefully and improves his position. Oakheart tries to give the Lieutenant a lift up, his artificial construction succeeding where the human's flesh failed [COLOR=Sienna](20+0 !)[/COLOR] Kuro moves down the roof, to where Baraka is standing now. The gnoll reaches the steering, trying to get things going [COLOR=Sienna](4+3)[/COLOR], but has to make some adjustments from the way Harper screwed with the controls before. Speaking of the ensign, Abe quickly stands up, trying to make for the cart a second time, this time succeeding with aplomb! [COLOR=Sienna](19-3)[/COLOR] Baraka is looking down and is able to watch the guardsman fastening his buckle with his left and slashing the rope surrounding the door with a knife in his right. "Bring me my halberd, brazen strumpet!" The shifter curses under his breath, moves along the ledge and tries to end the trouble on the skycart quickly. With innate ease, he runs on the narrow parapet, jumping on the cart [COLOR=Sienna](taking 10 both times)[/COLOR]. Meanwhile Lt. Tensen gets, regaining the grip on his sword and strides towards the gnoll. Elf, warforged and dwarf await what's happening, holding mismatched missiles ready. Finally the gnoll resets the switches and throws a lever, sending the skycart hurling upwards at maximum speed! [COLOR=Sienna](17+3)[/COLOR]. The wobbling platform sends its passengers reeling. The gnoll holds on to the control panel, crouching in an animalistic stance [COLOR=Sienna](20+4)[/COLOR]. Lt. Tensen [COLOR=Sienna](20-3)[/COLOR] and Baraka [COLOR=Sienna](20+3)[/COLOR] are too occupied by their zeal to get to the gnoll to even consider falling down. But fate isn't on Abe Harpers side [COLOR=Sienna](Balance 1+0)[/COLOR]. The twisting motion of the magical platform catapults the dead halfling over its side, crashing right into Abe Harper. As he falls over board, his arm stretches forth in desperation and manages to get a hold of the very edge [COLOR=Sienna](Ref 20+2)[/COLOR] [sblock] Yes, I really rolled 20-20-20-1-20 there... (In general, what I rolled against should be pretty obvious, so I mostly just noted the results and not the skill used) The ogre went down (literally) rather fast, so I had to come up with some strategies for most of you. As taking down the gnoll was the general consensus, I decided that most of you would follow him on the cart. If you'd have behaved differently, please clarify this on the OOC thread and the next time I probably won't play you as hot-headed. On the other hand, you _are_ adventurers ;) No pictures this time. Tensen, Baraka and Harper are on the skycart with the coach. Novhilion, Oakheart, Kuro and Swifttooth are on the roof, while down below the guard is entering the warehouse... [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
