Academy of Drell, Part 6

[Jeremy]

I wonder if I could... I mean, it's the same right? There's a lot of air around that bear...

Initiative 1 (1 roll + 0 mod)
I guess Rallyn's still debating.

I don't think it will work Rallyn. You could barely hold the orc. That bear is much stronger.

Maybe I'll be able to at least slow it down. Who knows? Maybe it's still groggy...

 

[Calim]

Paendaerig will ready an action to shoot the bear if it looks like it is going to attack one of the party members trying to mount the rescue.

init 12+3=15

 

[Argent Silvermage]

[OOC: Arg! I'm at work and don't have Lyr'as sheet. I have to wait till tonight.] Lyrique keeps singing but readies his staff of fire.

 

[Dalamar]

Initiative 11+4=15, Move Silently 3+4=7
Edit - recovered important statistics. AC 16, HP 20/21, PP 19/20

Sildarin sneaks into the cave, circling around the bear and giant.

 

[Velenne]

Init: 12 + 2 = 14; 4/13 HP's + 3 subdual

Wearily and with much grumbling, Travellios lowers his broken form to the stone floor. It is obvious he is troubled, even knowing the others are near. If they should happen to slay the giant, he and Charlotte would have no means to escape this infernal cave. Even all of them combined may be unable to budge it. Leverage, perhaps? But should the others fail, the giant may take his retribution on the pair of them in ways he did not care to imagine.

Setting his mind to a task, the handsome, blonde elf attempts to distract himself from the pain of the giant's blow and the numerous bruises he recieved upon entering his prison.

 

[Jarval]

Initiative: 18 + 7 = 25

Mortimer aims his crossbow at the bear, ready to shoot the animal should it attack his friends or move in his direction.

To Hit (if needed): 1 + 7 = 8... Damage: 8

 

[Zhure]

Still waiting for a few initiatives. Note: Only the bear is visible (it appears to be the same one seen near the giant's cave earlier); there is no giant obviously around.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Charlotte: Initiative: 4, AC: 20, HP: 5/19, PP 8/11

Initiative: 2+2=4

Travellios:
"My family will owe you a dinner, at the very least, perhaps a gifting as well, for springing forth from the trees and saving my life from the giant. Until then, I give you my own humble thanks for your courage. ..."

Charlotte shakes her head. "Your family doesn't owe me a thing, and you don't, either. If you had been in my position, and I in yours, you would have done the same - or something similar, at least."

Charlotte pauses, concentrating. "I think that Sildarin has found the others... and that they're in the outside part of the cave. With the bear."

Song of Fair Charlotte... think that's a subtle hint?
Oh, shut up, Doyle... just tell me what you're seeing and hearing, and that's all I need from you right now.
As you wish, though you're probably glad you couldn't hear what Lyrique was singing earlier...
...tell me later. Now isn't the time.

"They'll find us, eventually..." Charlotte adds. "Keith won't give up until he's searched every part of this cave for us."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique initiative roll 15+2+17

 

[Zhure]

Rallyn, Sildarin (with Doyle) Paenderig, Keith, Lyrique and Mortimer, accompanied by Boromin, with Charlotte and Travellios in the cave


Initiatives:
Mortimer 25 (readied crossbow)
Keith 23 (snuck past the bear)
Lyrique 17 <- next in rotation, bardic song already going
Dire Bear 17
Sildarin 15 (preparing to sneak past)
Paenderig 15 (going to ready action)
Travellios 14 (trapped in the larder)
Charlote 4 (trapped in the larder)
Rallyn 1 (hesitating)
Boromin 1 (waiting for instructions from Rallyn)


Keith attempts to sneak past the immense bear's form. It sniff's the air in his general direction, but doesn't seem to get a good sense of where Keith is at.

Lyrique's song definitely draws the bear's attention, and it appears as if it's going to attack him.
