Kulan: Knightfall's Heroes of Carnell Game [IC]
bad luck

To the party's surprise, the metallic, "clip-clop" of a shod horse can be heard nearby, as well as a man's voice, mumbling something, just before a loud, crashing noise is heard!
Unknown man grumbles in Dhaoninean: "Aeron, Lady M love ye, but ye're gunta owe ma one after this one! Look at these pitiful, little doors! Are these cultists all wee folk? A' naiver seen tha like! A' hope a kin fine this Caerth quickly, these tight confines 'r makin' ma testy. Damn it all, these tinae doors! ... A' be hearin' the ring o' steel ahaid... time for a wee song, thain.."
The crashing sounds are coming from around the corner, where the summoned boar had previously broken down the door. There is a loud, angry grunt, and suddenly, everyone in the hallway sees the broken door (which had been still barely clinging to its hinges) FLY into the northernmost east wall, smashing into FLINDERS, as if thrown by a great force! Somehow, you can tell that the "grunt" had a Dhaoninean inflection to it... but how? And why? What in the Nine Hells was a Dhaoninean Clansman doing HERE?
After the raucus settles, the clip-clopping becomes evenly-paced, and a loud, clear, barritone, Dhaoninean voice can be heard, SINGING! The Clansman has yet to come into view, but that is about to change, momentarily...
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid...

For a moment,, Caerth thinks he hears singing. but he shakes his head and concentrates on putting down the prelate. He steps next to Maur and strikes out twice with his spear. He nearly skewers the man with the first strike but the cultist blocks the strike with his shield. The half-orc druid's second strike is ruined by the spear's butt end grazing the statue of the demonic goddess.
"Malotoch protects me," the prelate says, emboldened.
OOC: 5-foot step and then full attack.
Caerth - Full Attack with +1 spear: 1D20+11 = [9]+11 = 20 (miss)
1D20+6 = [8]+6 = 14 (miss)
1D8+7 = [3]+7 = 10
1D8+7 = [8]+7 = 15

Quinn clearly hears a voice singing from somewhere behind him, but with Angus in peril, he moves forward with his spiked chain to fight alongside the young half-ogre. He moves to the edge of the shadowy light and lashes out at the figure standing in front of Brutus. The spiked weapon slips past the cultist's defense and raze his chest and right shouder.
"Wieland, move forward with at light!" Quinn orders. "And someone figure out where that singing is coming from!"
The young guard of Carnell instinctively follows Quinn's orders and moves forward just far enough for the torch light to bathe both Brutus and Quinn in illumination. Beyond them, he can see two cultists in the shadowy light beyond.
In the brazier room, the prelate strikes back at the half-orc druid with his heavy mace, but the blow is awkward and misses Caerth.
OOC: Prelate - Attack Caerth with Heavy Mace (fighting defensively): 1D20+4 = [7]+4 = 11; 1D8+4 = [2]+4 = 6 (miss)
Brutus's eyes gleam in the light. His eyes allow him to clearly see the cultist in front of him. The young warrior stabs out with his punching dagger, but the cultist manages to block the strike with his shield and counterstrikes. Brutus avoids the powerful swing.
In the brazier room, Aureus quickly picks herself off the floor and moves towards her bow. She scoops up the weapon and checks it over to make sure it is still sound. The bowstring is wet. She'll have to let it dry before using it again. She curses her bad luck.
Timmins listens to the song coming from behind him. He turns to face what might come, although he's not sure what is coming towards them. "Ho there! Be ye friend or foe? Mark my words, we have the numbers to stand against ye!" He yells out to the singer. He motions for Meridith to back him up.
She moves next to the old fighter and keep her bow ready to fire at anything coming out of the shadows near the broken door the dire boar burst through.

OOC: @Tellerian Hawke sent his post to me through Facebook so that when I was ready to post, I could just add it in in the right place.
Angus muses inwardly, his thoughts on strategy: ~They doona ken a'am comin'. A' naed tae announce meself. Laet 'em know a'am a fraend. Maybe a laence chaerge es nae tha thin ta laed wit. Whare'd a' put ma bow?~
As Angus comes around the corner, he ends his song abruptly, and says in a loud, clear, commanding voice, as he drops his lance and shield, and knocks an arrow into his bow: "A'am Angus MacKillan, adoopted sen of tha chaef of Clan MacKillan, close fraend an' ally of tha haedge wizard, Aeron! A'am haer ta serve his pupil, Caerth, and ta put doon ever' blasted crow cultist an' theese cursed place! Look sharp, lad! Aencoming!"
Everyone in the hallway is shocked to see a Harqualian Centaur, holding a massive, compound bow, aiming it at the long end of the hallway!
Brutus spares a glance backward, for a mere moment, and sees Angus aiming his bow in his general direction. In an effort to heed the Centaur's warning, Brutus ducks his head momentarily, the way a boxer would to duck a haymaker!
The arrow finds its way over the heads of Timmins, Meridith, Wieland, Brutus, and Quinn. At this distance, Angus cannot see the look of shock on the cultist's face. Brutus laughs.
"Nice shot Meridith," Quinn calls out, his mind clearly on the foes in front of him.
"That wasn't me," she says with her eyes wide in both wonder and fear. Her hands are shaking as she isn't sure whether to fire or not.
Timmins puts a hand on her bow and tells her to lower it. He says to Angus, "We will need proof of what ye say, but after the fight is won. Agreed?"

Angus smiles back at Timmins, not understanding his exact words, but gathering the general meaning, nonetheless. His reply is in thick Dhaoninean: "Agraed."
Neurotic
I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Maurs armor locks in place again as he takes his position next to the prelate.
"Malotoch protects up to a point."
thud down comes the hammer
"After which you are crow food. Maybe it is time to consider that other gods offer mercy when asked for?"
thud back comes the hammer with another dent in prelates bones.

Phar nocks an arrow and lets fly at the prelate with a well placed shot. Then he speaks loudly enough to carry over the battle in the language of Centaurs, "Well met Clansman, I am Phar and I know of your people. You are far from home as well. Help us win this battle and we will talk."
OOC:
Bow shot and damage: 1D20+9 = [14]+9 = 23

The arrow catches the edge of the prelate's shield and then slices across the man's neck. The wound isn't deep but blood trickles.
The first hammer strike cracks the man's shield bearing shoulder, which causes his arm to slump down to his waist. Unable to lift it up to block the second hammer strike, the prelate is thudded to the floor. The hammer hits directly on the man's breastbone and Maur hears a loud crack. The prelate tries to cry out in pain but can't get any air. He drops his mace and clutches at his chest before falling to his knees then sideways to slump against the wall.
He smiles wickedly at Maur and shakes his head, 'no'.

The newest foes move towards Quinn and Brutus. One strikes out with his mace at Quinn, but the ex-gladiator easily avoids the blow. The other stops 15 ft. from the young warrior and mumbles divine words to Malotoch. He directs a fearful gaze at the half-ogre and tries to sap Brutus's will. The half-ogre easily shrugs off the magic. He growls at the man but keeps his focus on the other foe in front of him.
