start of round 4
Drezel twists and turns and tries to break free of Gideon's pinning predicament.
ooc: Drezel's Escape Artist check = 13, Gideon should have no problem countering that.
Gideon takes Drezel to the ground and pins the ratman in the dirt facefirst in an effort to prevent him from activating his wand again.
Fimble draws his crossbow, loads it quickly, and lets fly a bolt that strikes the thief in the thigh.
Babette coats the ground around Otto in grease once more...
Devlin steps toward Brigit. "It's nothing personal, Ms. O'Shally. In our business we must suspect everyone until we can clear them. Surely you understand how professionals must act. Here, have a drink to settle yourself. You too, Jobe." Devlin offers both Brigit and Jobe one of the...
ooc: IcyCool, I need clarification. Are you going to try to pin Drezel or deal damage? Your post states you want to do both but you only have one attack/round.
start of round 3
Drezel doesn't seem to fight the grapple by Gideon. Instead, he starts to...change. After a few seconds Gideon finds himself holding on to some sort of half-gnome, half-rat monster.
Metrius moves around to cut off Otto's retreat, swinging his mace at the rogue.
Tor...
Gideon sheathes his sword and rushes up behind Drezel, grabbing the gnome from behind. He gets a firm hold on his opponent, practically lifting the smaller guy off the ground.
Fimble moves up toward Otto and throws a color spray of his own at the man. Otto appears to resist the swirling...
Lucien hears the creature just before it bursts out of the ground. He draws his weapons and moves to flank the creature with Rinya.
ooc: Lucien's Listen check = 21, Initiative = 15. Surprise round: move and draw weapons.
Tor is dazzled by the color spray from Drezel's wand.
Metrius rushes up the road toward Otto.
Otto, finding himself on his rear after the grease appears suddenly underneath his feet, struggles to try to stand once more.
ooc: Tor is blinded & stunned for 4 rounds. Gideon is up.
Drezel, confronted by the large warrior with the chain, raises his left hand and points a heretofore unseen stick at Tor. The gnome utters an arcane word and there's an explosion of color between the two.
ooc: Patlin, make a Will save for Tor please.
ooc: You're right, I counted wrong. :o
Babette moves up next to Fimble & Gideon and throws a spell toward Otto to slow him down. The ground around the fleeing rogue becomes coated in a thick film of grease.
end of round 1
Fimble moves around the carriage and attempts to talk Drezel into stopping, but there is no effect that he can see.
ooc: Heckler, Babette can't quite make it to where you want her, that would take a move of 35'. And even there the area you want to Grease is just out of range.
Lucien takes up with Rinya, scouting out the battlefield for any signs for survivors or monsters.
ooc: Knowledge: Nature +4, Listen +9, Search +8, Spot +9, Survival +7. +2 Favored Enemy bonus vs. undead on Listen, Spot, Survival.
Tor dismounts the wagon and rushes forward to cut off the fleeing gnome with his chain at the ready.
Otto takes one look at Fimble staring in the window and follows his boss out the other side of the wagon, fleeing to the North.
ooc: Are you making a double move like Tor or a regular move...
Lucien watches the party's interactions with a bemused smile on his face. When there's a pause in the talking, he speaks up. "If you are quite finished, I believe it is time we find out what is in that keep."
