Academy of Drell, Part 6

[Tokiwong]

Damn it... how are we going to open this thing? Keith thinks and follows Sildarin's voice outside, and looks for the bear, and seeing the bear he will rush towards it. Using his awesome tumbling skills towards the end of the charge he will use his abilities to flip and vault onto the back of the beast, and stab his rapier into its back, trying to strike at its vitals!

[color=light blue]Tumble Check is 5+13=18 total, Jump if needed is a total check of 13+10=23. His attack roll for a charge is a roll of 12+8=20, +2 for the Charge and +2 for being invisible, for a total strike roll of 24, current AC is 16. Damage if successful is a roll of 5+1=6, plus Sneak Attack roll of 5, is an 11.[/color]

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique will cast Summon monster II and call up 1d3+1=4 Celestial Hawks to attack the bear. These will appear on his next round.

 

[Jarval]

Mortimer moves back into the fight with the bear, making sure he's in a flanking position with one of his companions. He stabs with his rapier, hoping to hit something vital.

"Come on lads, let's finish the damned creature!"

(To Hit: 11 + 5 = 16, Damage: 2 + 1 = 3, Sneak Attack: 4)

 

[Calim]

Paendaerig will try and hit the bear again.

Bluff = (9 rolled + 5) = 14

Attack = (14 rolled + 8) = 22 AC

Damage = (4 + 7 sneak attack if bluff worked)

 

[Zhure]

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

Initiatives:
Keith 23 (atop the bear)
Mortimer 17 (adjacent to the bear)
Lyrique 17 (casting a summon monster spell)
Dire Bear 17 [down 80 hit points], AC 17
Paenderig 15
Sildarin 15 (at the cave entrance, bow out) <- up next
Travellios 14 (trapped in the larder)
Charlote 4 (trapped in the larder)
Rallyn 1
Boromin 1 (down in negatives, 17 hits)

Sildarin races outside, skirting the edge of the obvious grease effect, drawing his bow and knocking an arrow. full move, ready at the cave mouth next round.

Travellios and Charlotte can no longer hear Keith outside as he ghosts away, but they can hear the roar of combat and the constant wounded growling of the bear outside.

Rallyn's next crossbow quarrel thunks meatily into the bear's flesh, only the fletching sticking out. It turns and snaps at the shaft briefly then glares menacingly at Rallyn, obviously intent on stopping the small gnome.

Having leapt over the grease effect, Keith fades into view atop the bear, with his rapier shoved into the beast's back.

Taking advantage of Keith's appearance, Mortimer's follows suit, using his rapier to slash along the flank of the bear.

Lyrique begins chanting a spell....

The bear lunges forward at Rallyn, snapping with his jaws. Roll 7+13 = AC 20, hit, 2d8+5 = 7+1+5= 13 points damage to Rallyn.

Paendaerig looses another arrow, it's fletching sticking out next to the bolt Rallyn's crossbow left behind in the monster's hide.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

When the Celestial Hawks begin thier attacks Lyrique will cast Cure light wounds on himself.
Cure 1d8+1=3pts. bringing him to 10/24

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith stays focused, despite the precariousness of his situation, nd stabs the beast once more, with his rapier, right into the vitals!

Strike is a 7+8=15, Flank if applicable raises that to a 17. Damage is 5+1=6, plus 6 points of sneak attack damage, for a total of 12.

 

[Jeremy]

"AAaagh!" Rallyn screams as his chest and stomach are ripped open and blood gushes onto the snow. Great Mother... I may be joining you sooner than I thought...

Rallyn withdraws defensively, clutching his clothes to his wounds.

 

[Dalamar]

Sildarin draws back the arrow, aiming and then releasing it at the roaring animal. As he lets the arrow fly, his body becomes visible.

Attack: 3 (roll) + 8 + 2 (invisible) - 4 (firing into melee) = 9, Damage: 3 (roll) + 2 = 5

 

[GnomeWorks]

"It sounds like it's quite a fight out there..." Charlotte observes quietly, resting against the boulder.

"Hmm... maybe we should try to push it out of the way?" She asks, standing up straight. "If we can move the boulder at least a little, maybe get a crack open on either side, we could use something as a lever and open it up the rest of the way, and help the others."

Charlotte tries to move the boulder, in any direction that it will move.
