A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [02]

[Scott DeWar]

Tsadok plops his butt down right on the newly unearthed metal box.

"Very well, it isn't magical, I'm sure of it" the abhac declares confidently (foolishly?) and unlatches the box, opening the lid.

OOC: I have re-adjusted my post to reflect the realization there of.

Aodhán walks to Tsadok, "You're in the way of whatever it is Keeland drew us to. I have had visions in the past sent from my god and I won't allow you to get in the way of his." the abhac declares, shoving the newcomer off his pedestal, calling for Keeland to open it.

CMB (+1 from bless, +1 from Hatred) (1d20+5=21) to bull rush Tsadok off the case[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=OOC]Well, this should be interesting . . .

Tsadok is allowed an Attack of Opportunity against Aodhán - the Abhác's target number for his Bull Rush attempt will be increased by the amount of damage done. As he didn't have his sap drawn, the attack will have to be empty handed (1d3 plus STR Mod damage).[/sblock]

Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou makes a move to restrain his overanxious friend, but hesitates when the violence begins. "HOLD, friends! Let us not shed each other's blood over some minor misunderstanding. Can't we all just get along?"

"Now, Keeland! Open the box!" Aodhán shouts as he lunges at Tsadok. The muscular young man tries to slip the Abhác's attack but is only partially successful and both of them tumble across the overgrown area until they fetch up against a large cactus, locked in a tight embrace.

[sblock=Combat Block]Tsadok initiates a Grapple (1d20+4=22) as his AoO. He further tries to Pin (1d20+4=8) Aodhán but this is not successful. Both Tsadok and Aodhán have the Grappled condition; as the intiatior Tsadok can end this at any time, but Aodhán must make a roll.

[sblock=OOC]This one was difficult to adjudicate - I wasn't sure if Tsadok actually got an AoO since he's unarmed, but then Aodhán is unarmed as well . . . Also, there's nothing in the Core Rules about whether or not AoO's can provoke their own AoO's. Hope everyone's happy with this ruling - if not we can discuss it OOC and maybe hash it out so if the situation comes up again (either with PCs or opponents) we'll have a standard.[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=OOC] did they have to hit a cactus!?[/sblock]

OOC, My Two Wolvish Cents: I don't think that AoOs can provoke AoOs, because if they did, then the two combatants could just trade AoOs until one of them fell, and that's a ludicrous result, imho.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: That was my take as well, Wolfman!

ya know, that makes for a very halarious mental picture.

Keeland

Not wasting the chance, Keeland makes a grab for the box and flips it open.
