[Rhun]

"Come on," grunts the half-orc, grabbing Barbarossa by the arm, and pulling him down the stairs and after the others.

"Ach, ye daft --" Barbarossa says, protesting the jerking motion as he is pulled along. "I'm na a porcelain dolly, but... mind the limbs, man!"

Barbarossa follows down the stairs.

 

[Shayuri]

Astra nocks another arrow and follows the group, taking the rear so she can peg punks planning pursuit.

 

[Walking Dad]

Adam follows and tries to keep near Barbarossa to defend him if needed.

ESCAPE FROM THE COMPOUND
The heroes attempt to whisk Rory Barbarossa out of the Veiled Society compound.

*** Technically, this is the rest of Round 6 ***

OOC: Initiative Order 20: Adam - COMPLETED 18: Skaros - COMPLETED 17: Astra - COMPLETED 16: Geirgrim - COMPLETED 11: Vrashek - COMPLETED 11: Guards - INCOMING 7: Questor - COMPLETED 6: Rory Barbarossa - COMPLETED

ASTRA

Astra nocks another arrow and follows the group, taking the rear so she can peg punks planning pursuit.

OOC: Move action for Astra.

GEIRGRIM

"Let's get away from this tower as quickly as possible. This will no doubt be the focus of whatever guards have been roused." He motions the others to follow toward the exit. He holds his weapon ready eager to redeem himself for the poor showing against the Ogre.

OOC: Move action for Geigrim.

VRASHEK

"Come on," grunts the half-orc, grabbing Barbarossa by the arm, and pulling him down the stairs and after the others.

OOC: Move action for Vrashek.

QUESTOR

Questor, standing just outside the door, motions Geigrim to follow him, and slinks behind a woodpile to hide until the rest of his allies emerge. When they do so, Questor falls in with them, as near to the middle of the group as he can.

OOC: Questor takes a move action to hide. If any guards get near enough, Questor will need to make a Stealth check - for now, they are still too far away.

RORY BARBAROSSA
Barbarossa follows Vrashek down the stairs.

OOC: Move action for Barbarossa.

***

At this point, this becomes more of a skill challenge than a combat. This assumes, of course, that you are able to get out of the Veiled Society compound before the guards catch up.

EVERYONE -
Please state what your character is doing to get Barbarossa (and your own butts) out of the compound. If you are using a skill, please make the relevant skill check.

 

[Insight]

OOC: For the ease of a starting place for the rest of this scene, all of the PCs and Barbarossa are at the front entrance to the building where the combat took place. Except Questor, who is hiding nearby. Proceed from there.

 

[Scotley]

Geirgrim keeps his keen hunter's senses sharp alert for any sign of guards.

 

[Insight]

Geirgrim keeps his keen hunter's senses sharp alert for any sign of guards.

Geirgrim definitely hears the sounds of guards incoming to the scene. He would imagine that they are 1-2 combat rounds away.

OOC: ONE SUCCESS!

 

[Scotley]

Geirgrim motions the others in a direction away from the approaching guards.

 

[Rhun]

Vrashek moves along as quietly as possible, hoping that they can lose the guards in the darkness.
