[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 2813876, member: 2209"] [b]Bear Concluded[/b] Voadam: Round 2 Keep maintains a defensive stance but strikes out with his psionic blade scoring first blood and eliciting a roar of anger from the bear. The lizardman Tur bounds forward drawing his iron axe, the sound of his own beating pulse beginning to fill his ears as he maneuvers to be in position to charge as a true warrior, anticipating the clash of arms with the beast. Noni calmly draws another arrow and sights at the bear now engaged in melee with Keep. The arrow flies through the cover above Keep's shoulder to graze the bear doing only superficial damage that does not pierce the beast's thick hide. The bear roars and lashes out at Keep. The warrior nimbly dodges the bear's swiping claws but is caught as the beast's jaws sink into his shoulder and cause a ripping wound. ooc Keep 18 hit 3 damage to bear. Tur 15' away ready to rage and in position to charge. Noni 16 (cover and firing into melee apply) miss, 75 feet away. Bear 14, 11, miss, natural 20 no crit, 4 damage to Keep. Watus: The smell of fresh blood fills his nostrils, and Tur's vision goes red. Swinging the enormous axe above his head, he charges into the fray. ooc: rage & charge: greataxe +8 melee (1d12+6); AC 12 (next round AC 14); Str 20, Con 18; HP 16. Endovior: Alan curses (without Naming Powers), and continues his tactic. He realises that he is, on the whole, a better combatent then the bear... in this situation, so long as he keeps his defenses up, he can only be hit by luck. Furthermore, aid is forthcoming... so this should not be a problem. Fenris: Noni will move towards the bear, making an arc off to the right so as to have a better shot at the bear as he draws and fires again. Voadam: Round 3 Keep grits against the pain but feels that his current tactics are sound if the ones coming are in fact aid against the beast, he continues to duck and doge and swipe at the bear with his mindblade but the bear pulls back out of the short psionic weapon's reach as Keep strikes. The blood pounding to a crescendo in his ears Tur rages and charges into the fray with the big mammal. With a great overhead swing the iron of the axe bites deep into the beast's neck spraying blood in a fountain as muscle, fat, and bone are severed. A roaring cry from the bear is cut short as it tumbles over and bleeds profusely into the ground, the axe buried deep in flesh and bone. Noni moves forward to get in a shot from an oblique angle, but holds his arrow when he sees the bear fall. ooc Spoiler: Keep 14 miss, Tur natural 20 confirm 25, crit 41 damage! Reminder, Keep does not speak Dover yet. Voadam: Now that Keep is getting his bearings somewhat his senses fill with the world around him. The colors seem crisper than he is used to seeing, the sounds more vibrant, even his senses of smell and touch seem more acute. Breathing heavily after his exertions the air tastes better and feels more invigorating. Keep believes he can even make out the sharp tang of the bear's spilled blood as it lies in a beam of sunlight that makes it through the tall canopy of the thick woods here. Watus: Panting heavily, the large reptilian looms over the fallen bear, giving the newcomer a cold and steady look, his slitted yellow eyes betraying no hint of emotion. He plants his foot on the bear's head and with a grunt, extracts his enormous axe from its steaming carcass. Dropping the outsized weapon, he steps over the bear, toward Keep, and draws an oddly curved knife from his belt. He pauses for a moment, uncomfortably close, testing the knife's sharpness with his scaly thumb and giving Keep what he can only assume is an appraising look. Abruptly, he turns back to the fallen beast and, growling something over his shoulder in an unfamiliar language*, drops to his knees and guts it from stem to stern. * "Welcome to the Forge, warmblood." ooc: 41 damage? Holy smokes! Tur will nonchalantly prepare the carcass to be carried back to the Dover village. Fenris: Noni will calmly walk over and search the area behind the bear for his arrows or arrowheads. They are too precisou to be left if it can be helped. Once he has finished searching he will approach the stranger and gesture for him to follow. [/QUOTE]
