Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

[funkmamagoat]

Kirio feels immense relief at seeing the final Gargoyle fall, his shoulders aching at the massive effort of firing no less than 10 arrows in so short a time

			By Cyric's massive hairy balls... I put 6 arrows in that bloody thing...

Kirio puts his bow away, then pulls out his flute and begins to play once more...

OOC: Inspire Courage: +2 attack and damage rolls, + 2 on saving throws against fear and charm effects

 

[Gregor]

GM: You're up Bannock. For anyone within the sleet storm, you'll need to make a Perception check vs. DC 13 in order to hear Kirio's song and benefit from it.

 

[Bannock]

Bannock grasps Arnir's outstretched arm with his left hand, and uses his right to plant his glaive in support of his body and move forward. With Arnir's help, he launches himself cleanly out of the edge of the wall of sleet, bursting forth with his glaive threatening Lee Sidoneth, who he sees almost directly in front of him. Immediately after emerging from the wintry column, he hears Kirio's song, bolstering his courage.

Bannock wastes no time before lashing out with his glaive at Lee. He steps with all his weight into a forceful spearman's thrust, the power of which forces Lee backwards 5 feet.

OOC: Activating the Pushing Assault feat, so I forego the extra damage due to power attack in order to force Lee back one space. Bannock stays in place. Bannock also has +1 to AOO attacks, but the next attack will not benefit from the Furious Focus feat, so will take the power attack penalty of -2. If Bannock performs an AOO this turn, the attack bonus will be +13

Lars moves north a little, draws his dagger and tries to hurt the squid.

OOC: Lars takes a 5 foot step and sets himself to fight defensively as a full round action. -4th, +2 ac dodge bonus. I assume that Lars benefits from the effects of Kirio's Inspire Courage (he is 90 feet away).

 

[Gregor]

GM: Right ... since there is no swim check I can only assume you're on the bottom, beneath the surface relying on your currently active water breathing effect. Hence the drawn AOO. Also, 90 feet away and underwater, you do not hear Kirio's music.

 

[Gregor]

Lee takes a long gash along his ribs and is thrown backward by the force of Bannock's blow. "Gah!" he grunts while holding his hand against the wound, "You have some spirit, I'll grant you that, but you are operating on borrowed time."

He suddenly dashes forward, tumbling into a roll which slips underneath Bannock's weapon in the blink of an eye. He stands up at the edge of the roll, his fist rising in an uppercut. His fist collides squarely with an illusory image projected by Kirio's blur spell. Bannock feels the wind and the force of the blow brush next to his face, but is spared the impact. "You're shifty as well!" he grunts with a smirk.

GM: Bannock, Lee is capable of tumbling through your threatened squares without risk of failure, hence the lack of an Acrobatics roll.

Beneath the waves, the struggle between rogue and squid continues without much effect to either party.

Torrent continues to slowly press up the stairs through Lee's conjured sleet storm. "Arnir!, Bannock!, where are you?!" she calls out.

Arnir hears Kirio's flute just as Bannock vaults past him. Though the bard's music inspires him, the force with which Bannock pushed off of him sends him reeling and he is unable tp make his way forward. His ears prick up as he hears Torrent through the sleet and he calls out to her in the hopes she can get a fix on his location "Up the stairs and to the left! Hurry, Bannock is alone with that beast!"

 

[funkmamagoat]

Kirio begins trudging through the water, attempting to get to the stairs and into the thick of things... he is only able to make it to the edge of the sleet storm, but continues to play his flute as he progresses...

OOC: +2 attack and damage, + 2 against fear and charm effects

 

[Bannock]

Bannock can barely follow the blinding speed of Sidoneth's punch. He dodges 5 feet to the left after evading the blow, his body appearing to shift in and out of corporeality. The awesome glow of Arnir's spell is now visible as well, lending a Bannock's armour a beautiful shimmer.

"You shoot lightning and you move like lightning, but you still look like a greased pig, Sidoneth!"

Bannock reels in his glaive to fight at close range, fighting by holding the blunt shaft high and hugging the blade close to his body. He attacks in a twisting slash.
