Academy of Drell, Part 7

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique Runs to his partents hugging them both and crying in Joy. "Mother! Father! You're all right!" What has been keeping you here? Well it doesn't matter. we're here to get you out." He says all at once and with out taking a breath.

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn reaches out and grabs one of the non-golden shining, non-flaming burning orcs and tries to wrap his limbs up in flows of air. Concentrating, Rallyn attempts to employ the pig-lover's weapon against the nearest godless swine.

Rallyn manifests Control Body with no visible displays and continues to take cover vs. missile fire. Display is tangible hard air wrapped around target's limbs.

 

[Dalamar]

Sildarin nods silently at the succesful shot and then takes to the air, flying in a upwardly angle towards the orcs, and lets loose another arrow (rewording of what was in previous post, same numbers).
Attack: 12 + 8 -(range) = 20, Damage: 3 + 2 = 5

 

[Zhure]

:cough:

Waiting on Travellios I believe... I think the editing the post format isn't working.

 

[Dalamar]

Ups, hand't noticed you asking for a spot check. Here it comes: Spot: 10(roll) + 2 = 12

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Edited my post above!

 

[Velenne]

Oh...sorry then.

Still spying the rear orcs and fearing their escape, Travellios draws a wand from his belt and lets fly with a dazzling spell designed to negate their advantage of distance versus his poor archery skills. A small bead of fire arcs skyward from the wand's tip, expanding greatly as it goes until it comes to rest far above the furthest orcs. The ball hovers for the briefest of moments, allowing them to comprehend their imminent doom before descending in a maelstrom among the boats.

OOC: Aiming for boats 11 & 12. Damage is 19, Reflex DC 14 for half. 20 charges remain.

EDIT: Jeremy was kind enough to point out a major flaw in my strategy. It appears that the months have not been as kind to my memory as his. Magic Missles...PHAH!

 

[Calim]

Paendaerig readies an action to shot the first orc that comes within 30 feet.

ac hit = 22

dam = 5

Re: Round 1

Round 1

Charlotte 21
Mortimer 20
Sildarin 19
Rallyn 19
Keith 16
Lyrique 10
Boromin 10
Paenderig 8 < --
Travellios 7
Orcs 6 (they're gonna die...)

I'm trying to simplify things and keep each round as a single post. I'll edit and add in actions as they occur.

Charlotte unleashes another burning ray, lighting the oiled sails easily.

Mortimer quickly cranks and looses another bolt, dropping the second orc marauder in the lead boat.

Sildarin flies up at an angle, loosing another shaft into another one of the orcs, which falls over from his uncanny accuracy. Free Action: Spot check from Sildarin please

Keith takes cover, trying to conceal his prescence, but isn't able to see any targets on shore. Listen check from Keith please.

Rallyn uses his telekinetic abilities against one of the orcs. It struggles briefly, then draws an axe and chops down his companion (boat #12) .

Lyrique runs down into the crowd of people, desperately looking for his parents. As he runs headlong into the throng, the surrounding villagers stare at him in shock and disbelief. Some of them are looking toward the now flaming hulks of the longboats that brought them there with a mixture of glee and fear. Lyrique's father is standing staring at the first burning boat with a satisfied smile on his face. At his feet is Lyrique's mother, sitting on a makeshift bundle of coats.

Boromin, panting in his steel armor, is racing straight toward Lyrique, following him through the pack of citizens.

Paendaerig readies....

(Sildarin notices nothing from his spot check)


Travellios launches forth a fireball, placing it craftily in the rear of the orcish fleet, decimating those orcs, leaving nothing but flinders and corpses. Travellios could more effectively place it to get boats 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12.

The orcs appear to be fully in rout. The one survivor in one of the two lead boats fumbles briefly for his axe, realizes he is completely outclassed and leaps - suicidally most probably, from the water temperature - into the ocean, swimming away.

The two blinded orcs in the rear of the small fleet are unable to see, but are calling out to their companions, with arrows nocked and half drawn.

they appear to have readied actions, but are also quite blind.
Casualties: Six orcs set afire in the middle, they're not doing well. (In boats # 3,4,5). All two orcs in the lead boat (#1) are dead; it is on fire. One orc in boat number two is dead; boat #2 is on fire. The remaining orc in boat #2 has a greased weapon.
Three of the four orcs in the southeastern two boats (#9, 10) appear to be blinded; Sildarin kills the unblinded one in Round 1.

Crude Boat diagram (should've numbered them in advance)
2+*...1++*
5++*...4++*...3++*
8++...7++...6++
12++...11++...10++...9bb
* = on fire
+= dead orc
b = blind



edited to clarify boat 8 being in the initial fireball blast.

Round 2


Charlotte 21 < --
Mortimer 20
Sildarin 19
Rallyn 19
Keith 16
Lyrique 10
Boromin 10
Paenderig 8 (held action)
Travellios 7
Orcs 6 (they're gonna die...)

I'm dropping the editing-a-single-post idea. It seems to be causing undue delays and confusion.
