A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [01]

[Maidhc O Casain]

Houwlou flings a second javelin at the pugwampi. H's 2nd javelin at pugwampi (1d20+2=15, 1d6+3=7)

[sblock=Houwlou]Sorry, I should have been more specific in my last 'call for actions post.' We're still in the first round; I need TH rolls for Keeland and actions/rolls for Aodhán. Assuming the PP (Pugnacious Pugwampi) survives all that (and Harnry's caltrops), he'll get another action before the party goes again.[/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

Aodhán will call upon his god for the divine aid for his ranged allies attacks against this most offensive foe, then move as close to it as he can.

[sblock=OOC]
Cast Blessed Aim all allies within 50' get +2 on ranged attack rolls
Move 20' however I can get closest.

[sblock=GM Mowgli]Since my attack roll will now be a 17 thanks to the Blessed Aim, I'll keep this roll for next round if you'll let me? [/sblock]

[sblock=Leif]Surely you may, it was a legit roll. But you'll still have to roll another and take the worse of the two . . .[/sblock]

Round One Wrap, Pugwampi's Action in Round Two

Keeland's arrow is right on target, zipping on a wire at the Pugwampi's tiny little head and causing the obnoxious little beast to shriek in fear. However, just before the bolt strikes home a vulture flies through the battlefield and takes the arrow in the chest. The Pugwampi's shrieks turn to cackles and it capers about madly.

Aodhán's clear voice rings out into the night as he calls on Lonrach to bend fate in the favor of his allies. A feeling of . . . anticipation . . . fills the air and the Abhac Cleric advances menacingly on the Pugwampi's position.

Houwlou hurls a javelin at the little dog man, but his concentration is blown by his amazement at the fate of Keeland's arrow and his own missile flies harmlessly over the edge of the ravine and clatters down into the arms of the huge cactus below.

Kecil stoops quickly and snatches up a rock, but his aim is disrupted as Harnry bumps him in the process of casting his Caltrops cantrip.

The wizard winces at the feel of sharp shards of metal sliding into his leather jerkin but manages to maintain his concentration. At his sharply spoken word and abrupt gesture, a patch of glittering caltrops appears around the Pugwampi's feet.

Still gibbering and yipping, the little dog headed creature drops his bow and draws a rusty dagger when he sees Aodhán approaching. His blow with the dagger slips under the dwarf's shield but is turned on his sturdy scale mail.

[sblock=OOC]To Hit Rolls (Keeland) (1d20+5=10, 1d20+5=16)

Second To Hit Roll (Houwlou) (1d20+2=4)

To Hit (Kecil) (1d20+4=11, 1d20+4=10)

Target Choice (Alphabetical by First Name) (1d5=1) - Aodhán
To Hit (Pugwampi) (1d20+3=17)

Actions? (Please don't forget that any d20 roll - including To Hit rolls, saving throws, initiatives, etc. must be rolled twice and the lesser of the two rolls applied).

Leif, this means I'll need another To Hit roll for Houwlou, and take the lesser of this roll and the 17 from before.[/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

Smiling as his armour turns aside the blade, Aodhán taps his armour with his axe-carrying fist. "This here's dwarven made, yer gonna need something a lot bigger than that to get through it" the dwarf taunts as he brings down his axe on the creature, but his concentration is off as he gloats and the attack is easily sidestepped.

[sblock=OOC]
Attack roll (1d20+3=9, 1d20+3=14) I'm assuming that'll miss, I won't bother with damage.

Keeland Iuthar

Muttering angrily to himself at his poor performance, Keeland quickly knocks another shaft and draws it to the kiss ring. This time his arrow flies true, whistling just under Aodhán's armpit as he raises his axe and slamming into the Pugwampi's dog-ugly face. The tiny creature flies back through the air and smacks into the cactus behind, ending his trajectory hanging from arrow and needles. The Abhác's war axe slams into the dirt and rock in the space the Pugwampi occupied at the start of his swing.

"Good shot, Keeland! Really most excellent," says Houwlou as he proceeds to draw another javelin from his quiver.

End of the Fight

There are no more targets in evidence, and now that the one is (thoroughly) dead that feeling of dread is gone from the air. Also, now that the vicious little creature is no longer whispering to Rombard about all the different ways to prepare goat for eating the poor creature has settled down somewhat.

Kecil gives a sharp "Hssst! Quiet for a moment . . . what's that noise?"

Over the sound of everyone's labored breathing after the fight can be heard a faint groaning sound coming from down in the ravine.
