The Faerie Woods [Knight Otu Judging]

[IcyCool]

OoC: Waiting to see what the redcap manages to do to Rodimus before deciding on an action. Dammit, it'll make kebab out of him again, what with his already low AC and being flat-footed.

OOC: Don't worry, Gorefoot will soon follow you into sweet, sweet oblivion.

 

[Patlin]

Round 1
Ishmael quickly downs a potion and moves to place himself more directly between Persephone and the Redcap. (To where exactly? Or are you staying in place, and that bit was color?)

The redcap howls ferociously as he slashes Rodimus with his Scythe. He deals a grievous wound (15 damage.)

Gwen bolts off, with the loyal Friddley in pursuit.

Persephone recites an enchantment off a scroll, and unleashes a bolt of energy at the Redcap. It strikes him, and he is surrounded by a nimbus of sickly purple light. He looks somewhat weaker. (-4 Penalty to strength, reduces attack roll by 2 and damage roll by 3.)

Rodimus is up!

 

[Dalamar]

Noticing that the redcap is now weakened, and realising that he can't take another swing from the thing's scythe, the half-orc lets his wilder side take over as he tries (11 total) to get a bearhold (total 28) on the fae with a bestial growl.

OoC: I had really hoped Rodimus'd had time to quaff that potion of Bull's Strength, but with the redcap in his face, there really isn't a possibility for that. And that attack roll is suckalicious

 

[IcyCool]

Gorefoot moves to J11, drawing his Cold Iron Kukri along the way. He slashes madly at the Redcap, but to no avail.

 

[Manzanita]

Percy

Percy drops her scroll case and mentally commands Fridly to return to her. "I may need you sweetie." She also raises her fingers in a familiar gesture, sending two purple darts at her foe.

OOC: Cast magic missile #1 8 pt dmg.

 

[SlagMortar]

Seeing Rodimus struck, Nars drops the bottle in his left hand and rushes forward. He bellows, "Get behind him!" His left hand dips down to his boot pulling his cold iron dagger into his off hand. He strikes out at the redcap with Felhunter. I'm going to need a real drink after this is over. says a little voice in his head.

OOC: Nars is at L7. The farthest he can get without a charge is K11. I just know that Rodimus meant to take a 5 foot step to I13 so that he and Nars would be flanking. If not, can he charge to K12 and flank with Rodimus?

 

[Patlin]

Round 1 continued
Rodimus attempts to grab the redcap, but the little thing eludes his grasp.

Gorefoot's attack is similarly avoided.

(Nars goes here, but I'll do a map update first.)

[Patlin]

On review of the updated map, there is no way Nars can charge. Looks like he won't be able to sneak attack this round, but he can get in range to attack.

 

[SlagMortar]

So be it. Nars moves to K11 and stabs
primary attack (1d20+10=15, 3d6+5=16)
And our intrepid heros were laid low by the fearsome Invisible Castle monster.
