The Reconquista: Part I (Shadows over Istivin)

Branding Opportunity · Jun 30, 2005

Reivik attempts to grab the bewildered man to keep him from casting any more spells. His opponent, sadly sees the attempt and twists out of the way to avoid his grasp. The mage seems to be protected by some form of magical force field which makes him very difficult to hit (OOC: No AoO provoked as the crazy man does not threaten, Reivik touch attacks 2 + 16 = 18, miss.)

NEW ROUND

OOC: In this round everyone gets to act. All characters begin their round at the door marked on the northern edge of the previous map. None of you can see through the strange fog which is spreading in the alley, although you can hear sounds of combat coming from within or beyond it. The cloud is currently the width as shown above and 20 ft. high, although it is quickly spreading. It will expand on Initiative count 0 of this round. Latalya and Eshanna easily identify it as a Cloudkill spell, and all of you know it's a bad idea to move through it, even when holding your breath. Spellcasters have not prayed or studied for their new spells and have the same as the day before.

Reivik: 20
George: 18
Latalya: 17
Crazed-looking man: 16
Eshanna: 9
Anastasia: 9
Morley: 8
2 Reddogs: 6
2 City Watch: 2

Morley Human Ranger

Morley falls back on instinct and examines the terrian around him. He tries to determine the best way to avoid the cloud wishing he had thought to put on his boots before leaving his room. Hearing the sounds from beyond the cloud he shouts, "Reivik, are you okay?"

OOC: Any easy passage through the surrounding buildings? How tall are they, could he climb up and then down beyond the cloud, or does his best course appear to be going around the block?

His opponent, sadly sees the attempt and strikes out viciously with his leg, catching the dwarf in his midsection and slightly knocking the wind out of him (OOC: AoO brought on by attempt to establish a grapple causing 5 pts of subdual damage; grapple attempt fails.)

OOC: Eek! A wizard who threatens an area while unarmed? That's just sneaky!

They're supposed to spend their feats on Empower Spell, not Improved Unarmed Strike, damn it! /OOC

OOC: I've updated my previous post to give you a better overview of the larger area. The buildings are all have two stories around here.

Morley Human Ranger

Morley heads to the right around the building across from his own. He sprints as fast as he can over the cobbles on his bare feet.

OOC: Just to clarify, since you're going around corners you'll only be able to double move every round (not run), so it'll take a few rounds to make it around the buildings.

Latalya

Seeing the nasty cloud, Latalya knows immediately, that this is not just some ruffian, they have to pass the deadly vapors quickly to help Reivik, who might be in danger just now. “Try to avoid the foul vapors, if you can!”

Seeing Morley turning towards the side, obviously planning to run around the building, the elf calls out: “Morley, wait!” Holding both her still-sheathed sword and her bow in one hand, she utters a few arcane syllables and touches the young ranger on the shoulder, acting so fast, that he barely made the first step, and then they vanish and find themselves suddenly on top of the building opposite of the center of the cloud.

“Much faster this way,” Latalya comments the sudden change.

OOC: On the map... start at the 2 right-most squares of the cloud and go two squares further to the right, that's where Latalya wants to appear, given you can stand up there; otherwise some similar position.

Morley probably needs to change his action, since Latalya acts before him and thus his action did not yet come up.

OOC: Latalya and Morley end up on the roof of the building overlooking the fight. They are currently 25 ft. above street level, with the edge of the roof being 20 ft. above street level. Since this is a fairly steep roof with stone shingles all movement costs double and requires a DC 10 Balance or Climb check to keep from slipping.

Morley Human Ranger

Taking only a stride or two Morley is brought up short by his companion and finds himself transported to the rooftop. "A much better way to travel, I thank you, and I suspect you've saved me from being footsore for a month. Let us see what Reivik has gotten into." With that he moves to the edge of the roof and peers down.

OOC: Morley is +7 on both balance and climb.

Morley carefully makes his way to the edge of the roof (OOC: Balance check 7 + 7 = 14, success) and peers down. Below he sees two guardsmen with bastard swords drawn, but unable to get to a wild-looking man who is locked in combat with the dwarf. They dare not cross the deadly fog.
OOC: Morley still has an action left, I believe.
