Redbadge's Crypt of the Everflame (IC)

[Redbadge]

GM: He reloaded at the end of his last turn, before you got there. I was just describing it a bit more cinematically and a bit less rigidly. He hasn't actually taken his current turn yet, as I'm giving Lissa and Snaggle a chance to respond.

 

[Isklexi]

"We're not undead you babbling fool." Snaggle growls as he slips next to the deranged man.

OOC: I updated my status, and I guess I didn't internalize the room's dimensions very well; it's not large enough to flank in.

[Redbadge]

GM: You cast mage armor at 08:11:12, so about 371 rounds have expired, leaving you with 229 rounds remaining. Also, don't forget to note that you have accumulated 5 nonlethal damage, the first point of which will heal at 9:14. Finally, you should have a makeshift club in your possession, I believe. Also, feel free to add an Intimidate or Diplomacy check when speaking with him. As far as flanking him, Joseph is in front of the man, between him and the door, so you are not actually flanking unless Joseph slides into the corner on his next turn (see the Storage Room map, in the post above).

 

[Etharia]

Lissa and Nyra rounded the corner after they heard the first shot go off and then hesitated. At Joseph's call for aid they move into action shoving past both Joseph and Gamble to pounce on the crossbow wielding idiot.

OOC: I basically want Nyra to pin him what kind of check would that be?

 

[Redbadge]

As the man dismisses Snaggle's assertion with cries of "Lies... more lies from the Dead One that speaks!", Lissa's lion bounds into the room, careening past her allies and slamming him into the wall. Nyra almost pins him, but the man slips aside and steps into the corner, the crossbow now aimed at the fearsome blood-spattered white cat. "DEMON!" he moans as his eyes grow ever wider.

[Courage]

Gamble moves into the room to see if he can talk the madman down. "Roldare! We're from the town. We are here to help you!"

 

[Redbadge]

Hearing you mention his name, Roldare pauses, before crying out, "Ahhh... now you are in my head!" Seeing that he is now surrounded, he no longer aims the crossbow at your party, instead placing the weapon up under his chin, the tip of the bolt pressing up into his scruffy jowls.

 

[Isklexi]

"Put down the crossbow Roldare; how many kobold zombies have you seen today?"

 

[BudroThePious]

"Look Roldare, you know all of us. Look at us; I'm the town guard, he's the bard's apprentice, she lives with the druid, and he is training with the Vargidan family."[sblock=Current Status]Joseph Gault (Male human fighter 1)

[Redbadge]

Roldare hesitates once more, then drops to his knees, his crossbow going limp at his side. The man simply starts sobbing.
