Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Healing

Marienna speaks up, "I did leave a weapon in the cloakroom. Even if we decide not to fight our way out we may not have a choice. There are likely to be some sort of guards on the roof." She takes Radoon's hand tenderly and looks him in the eye with a smile before turning to the scroll and beginning to read the symbols there. As the magic takes hold he feels a warmth start at her finger tips and move up his arm filling him with a pleasant glow not unlike the warmth of a shot of brandy. She moves her hand to other wounds in turn and he feels (4d8+8=25) much better. She moves to Rook next and proforms a similar casting on him. He soon feels (4d8+8=28) ready to take on the world. Next, she turns to Captain Morwyn with a third casting (4d8+8=27). "I haven't the tools with me to restore the other losses in strength or will that you've experienced. What of you Finn, would you bid me heal you as well. How serious are your wounds?"

Rook

"My thanks, Lady. I feel much improved!"

Finn Hunter

OOC: Sorry, had to looks back 9 pages to find out how much damage Finn had taken. Current AC is 15; HP, 21 of 29. /OOC

"I am slightly wounded, Marienna, but not so severely to require the expenditure of one of your emergency spells. Save them until later, when perhaps I will truly need the aid. Captain, I managed to retrieve my weapon earlier. At the time, the biggest problem was the press of people fleeing the Masque. The Northerners behind this may have had time to organize some resistance by now, but based upon the description our friends have given us of what they saw on the way here, I think we could get through fairly easily. The roof beckons, but I think our duty calls for us to confront this shaman, and remove him as a threat, before we go in search of the Lorraina Faire."

Rook

Rook checks both of his daggers in their sheaths, and makes a few abortive motions as though beginning to check other weapons but remembering they are not on his person. Appearing somewhat embarassed (though it would be impossible to tell if he were blushing), he shoots a glance toward the Northern Shaman.

"Well, let us be about it, then. I'm ready for the 'Sheet and my hammock - it's been a long evening!"

Alert for any sign the man might be spellcasting, Rook begins an approach to the door.

The Final Confrontation

Rook crosses the threshold followed closely by the others. As Rook scans the room he notes that the Shaman and his people have moved over close to the bar, some 50' away. The crowd has thinned noticably since last you were in this large chamber. As the rest of you begin to enter the main Masque room, the fur clad woman you had so recently questioned in the hallway suddenly bolts past the rear ranks shouting, "Palgarth! They've Slain Frya! They are...oof." Before she can say more, a well placed foot extended by Marienna trips the woman and she lands face down on the floor the wind knocked out of her. However, the damage is done. Palgarth, his ogres and others turn toward you and take up arms. With a stream of explitives that make even the crusty sailor Radoon blush Marienna raises her spear.

OOC: Initiative along with current AC, first round actions and anything else you think I should know please.

OOC: I have included a rough map. If you promise not to laugh at my low tech map you may use it to help you fight the battle. Characters are entering from the north a lilttle west of center labled Rook, Rad for Radoon, Mor for Morwyn, Finn, Mar for Marrienna and DeG for Captain DeGrasse. I choose the marching order to get things moving along I hope no one feels they are too far out of place. The fallen stick figure next to Marienna represents your 'prisoner'. Those circles marked F 1-5 represent Fairy clad women. Pelgarth the Northman Shaman is labled Pel, while the Ogres should be obvious by their size. Other men dressed either in furs or some sort of Masgue related uniform are labled W 1-5. The large rectangle to the West is the pool where the Gondola's come and go. Behind the bar are 3 bartenders and another Ogre. Sorry they didn't make the map. The odd half moons near the table are intended to be chairs. Enjoy!

OOC: The map may not accurately reflect previous descriptions of the room, but should serve nicely for the battle.

Rook

First in, first out . . .

Rook steps lightly up onto the table, uses it as a vault, and hurtles through the air toward the Ogre closest to him.

OOC:

Wielding the northern dagger to attack, Drochthurach as a parrying dagger/shield.

Initiative (1d20+7=11); AC 23

Just out of curiosity, any of these beasties wielding what would be a human sized Bastard Sword? A little extra damage potential would be a HUGE help here (especially since Rook doesn't have access to any of his spells).

Finn Hunter

Finn takes a moment before going through the doorway to tap an Armor and a shield tattoo. (AC 23). He has his rapier in his left hand, and takes a double charge powder bag out of his pouch, and hands it to Radoon. He gets another out and holds it in his right hand. "Here my friend, see if you can put that where it will do the most good. I'll put another beside to start things off." Initiative (1d20+6=20)

OOC: What the heck? Roll a d20. If you break 12 one of the guys has a bastard sword.

As Marienna takes Radoons hand, he closes his eyes, bracing for the flow of warmth he is now anticipating. He takes it in, allowing it to flow through him, almost enjoying the feeling. Once it subsides, he opens his eyes, gives M. a wink and a squeeze with his hand before she looses it and quickly makes way to the fight.

Radoon

initiative (1d20+2=16)[/ur

current AC - 16

Radoon will also charge forward, daggers appearing in each hand has he moves. He will approach Orgre #2, hopefully the same one Rook is attacking and take the side, right or left, Rook is not on. Hopefully we can fall one before it does any damage.

OCC - do we know which one, the girl was speaking to? Scott, Let me know if I can make it to # 2 in the round. Also if I can only attack once, since I closed, is it my best attack(best hand and so forth?)
