Pathfinders of Pelligrew's Pinnace [IC 01]

[grufflehead]

OOC: If Leaf is first, then I suspect our 2 more martially inclined members should go next and I'll watch our 6.

OOC: OOC - That marching order sounds fine to me. Mike as we near the area, are there any indications of where the cliff ends, I'm thinking I'd like Lerissa at the bottom of the cliff.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=OOC]Bottom of the cliff is 35 feet down and in the ocean, so there's no practical way for Lerissa to be at the bottom. The clifftop is not accessible any other way than via the switchbacks, which are a pretty extended trail and run right along the shore. It's kind of a bottleneck just before you top out at Torsen's Maw.

You're just below the point where the switchbacks reach the widening ledge when you hear the aforementioned dialogue.[/sblock]

Once the voices are in range, Lerissa will begin watching closely around them so that the party is not surprised.

OOC - Mike, I just realized her stat block does not seem to be accurate. Is this something you want us to do, or do you like to update them?

OOC: Either way is fine - I don't think you had equipment bought when I filled in what's there.

Edit: Got it fixed, I think.

OK, Let's Get It On!

As you round the final switchback, a face pops out briefly from behind the turn. It disappears as quickly as it appeared, and a voice rings out: "Company! Get 'em done!"

The Maw opens up before you, a comparatively roomy ledge in the cliff face. On your left is a sheer 35 foot drop to the pounding waves, on your right the cliff face rises another 20 or 30 feet to the top.

Occupying the ledge, two brash young toughs covered with tattoos of vicious, snarling dogs are prodding four terrified older men off the edge of a cliff into the sea as four others keep watch to the east and west. The prisoners are shackled together in a line with heavy chains, which shall surely drag them to the sea floor in short order should they tumble from the cliff’s edge into the churning waters below.

Just as the impact of the scene registers, one of the toughs kicks the first old man viciously in the small of the back, and he staggers over the edge. The others follow in very short order, but the last man just manages to grab the ledge. He won't be able to hold on for long . . .

"No!!" Leaf cries as the men are pushed over the cliffside. "You murderous vermin!" he shouts charging straight towards one of the ruffians. His massive trident ready to skrewer the villian.

initiative roll (1d20+2=6)

OOC - having a late initiative roll, I'm gonna hold my action post to see what unfolds.

 

[grufflehead]

OOC: Lots of stuff to do, first time so bound to be a mistake somewhere Mustapha initiative 1d20+1=15 Mustapha quickly surveyed the scene and realised the disadvantage he and his companions were at. Swiftly he produced a small vial from inside his robes, flipped off the stopper and consumed the contents - a pale green liquid. Then he began to run. Swerving round the thug which had been engaged by the Goliath, he began to pick up speed as he headed for the lip of the ledge. With a grunt of exertion he threw himself into the air, windmilling his arms as he went, and landed with a crunch in front of the 2 War Hounders who had thrown the prisoners over the edge. [sblock=Actions!] - Drink extract of Expeditious Retreat - standard action, increases land speed by 30' to 60' - Run and jump - move action as Acrobatics (Jump) check is done as part of move (correct me if I'm wrong on that, not something I've done very often) Running past WH04 - here's hoping Leaf has filled him full of holes, if not he gets an AoO against me - to I5. Running jump aiming to land in F5. Total distance moved 55', total Jump distance 15' Acrobatics DC 15 (+ any terrain or environmental modifiers) - +12 temp bonus for speed 60' (+4 for each 10' above 30') 1d20+13=20 OOC: - Hoping that's enough or I'm in for a long drop...[/sblock] [sblock=Stat Block] HP: 19/19 AC: 13 AC(T): 11 AC(FF): 12 Init: +01 * Situational Bonus Saving Throw Total Base Mod Misc Special Fort: +5 2 +3 Ref: +3 2 +1 Will: +4 2 +1 +1 from trait BAB: 00 CMB:+00 CMD: 11 Weapon Attack Damage Critical Special Quarterstaff +0 1d6 20/x2 Scimitar +0 1d6 18-20/x2 Alchemical Bomb +3 1d6+4 20/x2 R Touch, Splash 1 sq for 3HP (standard action to create and throw) Spells Available: * 0 Level (-/- Daily) * 1st Level (2/2 Daily) * Daze * Cause Fear * Read Magic * Sleep * Message * Know Direction Extracts Available: * 1st Level (1/2 Daily) * [COLOR=Red]Expeditious Retreat[/COLOR] * (Expeditious Retreat/Cure Light Wounds/Comprehend Languages/Disguise Self/Shield - 1 minute to prepare Mutagen Available: (1/1 Daily) - +2 natural armour, +4 STR, -2 INT [/sblock]

Abraxis Hellis

Abraxis readies his polearm and prepares for combat as he sees the toughs forcing the old men off of the cliff...


OOC: Just a FYI, but I likely will NOT be posting on weekends, so you may have to NPC my character during those time periods if we are in combat or such.

Abraxis would have cast mage armor when they first heard their quarry, bringing his AC to 16.

Initiative: 03 - due to the low initiative, I'm going to hold off posting until I see what the enemy does.
