Turmoil in the Golden Ring--A Slavic-themed game in the cold (IC Thread)

[johnsemlak]

The party does successfully surprise the two orcs.

Initiative:

Cholodny
Ivan
Burian
Misha
Stanislava
Brata
Orcs (surprised)

Cholodny screams and charges, managing to get within a Glaive's reach of both orcs. She swings at one (5+9=14 hit; dmg 2+7=9), and slices deep inside it's flesh. It staggers, but doesn't fall.

Ivan moves agains't the second orc, swings, and decapitates it!!

Burian fires and arrow but it flies well overhead.

Misha moves into the clearing, and raises his scythe

Stanislava runs, draws her sword, and goes into a screaming frenzied attack, slicing the remaining standing foe into chopped orc (Attack: 13+4=17; Damage=easily enough)


If the sound of the battle was not enough, the screams of CHolodny and Slanislava have surely awaken those within the tents.

There are three tents, eahc of which have creature(s) stirring inside. Each tent is a bit bigger than 5'x5'. each is about 10 feet from the site of the battle just fought.

Brata Scythor, "Slavic" Druid2 / Sorcerer 1

Being unable to fire, Brata reconsiders his course of action. He moves off from the party to get a better view of the camp, and seeing that there are tents now, he begins to prepare a spell, waiting for the right moment to cast it.

(OOC-Brata should be in medium range. We will move to get the best line of sight on the camp, staying out of close/charge range. He will ready an action to cast a Sleep spell. Since this is out first complex group combat, please assist me in casting a range-of-affect spell (10ft. burst) on the most opponents, without affecting my own party members. Thanks!)

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Ivan readies an action to partial charge the first orc to emerge from his tent, holding his longsword two handed for a more powerful swing.

OOC: Rolls of 11+7+2(charging) for 20 to hit, damage is 4+5 or 9 total damage on a successful hit.

 

[Nantonaku]

Stanislava

Runs to the closest tent and (if there are no orcs outside yet) attempts to hack any rope or pole that is supporting the tent). If an Orc is present she will attack at once...

 

[Micar Sin]

Burian Slavochka

Cursing, Burian slings his bow and streches out his hand towards the tents. He snarls a phrase in an unknown tongue and the grass and shrugs around the tents begin to writh and twist like serpents, grasping for the orcs.

OOC: Entangle, targeted so as not to cath the party if possible

 

[Yair]

Misha, outpaced by the rest of the party, steps towards the nearest tent to look for more orcs. (Should he find any, he'll attack.)

 

[johnsemlak]

OOC: Still waiting for one more responce; I'm off on a trip to Bombey and will probably be offline till friday. Will attempt to update then, if it doesn't take me too long. Resolving combat takes much more time. Remember, I'm back full steam on Sunday. THanks for everyone's patience

Initiative:

Cholodny
Ivan
Burian
Misha
Stanislava
Creature in central tent
Brata
Other Humanoid in right tent
Orcs


Sounds of stirring continue from the three tents. Burian casts is magic and all three tents are engulfed in a dense web of roots and weeds, causing a few shouts from the tents.

Misha, Stanislava, and Cholodny all move to the tents Misha and Stanislava to the left and Cholodny to the right one. The center tent is engulfed in entagled weeds. So long as the PCs do not enter the tents, they are able to stay clear of the entaglements.

Stanislava cuts a supporting pole for the middle tent and it collapses, revealing one humanoid figure.

Brata says a few soothing lullibies in the sylvan tongue, and casts a spell that focuses on the tent on the right. Whatever stirring is happneing in this tent seems to be quieter, but there is still some movement (sounding like a creature struggling to move) coming from the tent.

The humanoid in the left tent cuts the tent to shreads, revealing himself. The creature, dressed in studded leather armor and wielding a longsword, appears to be a human of some sort, or perhaps an orc, and an incredibly filthy, and beastly sort. His face seems rather warped (like a result of some hideous experiment).

Some faint incomprehensible mumbling is heard from the middle tent.

The left and the right tents are both parallel to each other, and there is about 20 feet of ground between them. The middle tent is furhter back, and completely surrounded by the entagle spell. All but a tiny corner of the left and right tents are covered by the entagle spell.

On the left, one PC may move to a square adjacent to the humanoid in the left tent and not be affected by the entagle spell. Others will have to attack from 10 feet away. The middle tent is at least 15 feet away from the edge of the entagle spell. The right tent is covered similarly to the left tent, and Cholodny is standing next to the corner unaffected by the spell. The right and center tents are both still intact, and no creature has yet emerged from them.

Actions?

 

[Nantonaku]

Stanislava

Will approach the humanoid near her without getting close enuf to the Entangle zone. If the creature is within range she will attack with her Bastard Sword(which is already drawn).

Cholodny, Viking Fighter/Barbarian

Cholodny will continue to adopt the aggressive manoeuvres possible, taking advantage of reach, but not raging. He will immediately rage if an ally is in danger of falling. Attack attack attack!
