Academy of Drell, Part IV

[GnomeWorks]

Charlotte is wearing a noble's outfit, with an orc's chain shirt over it, and is wielding a rapier. She has nothing else worth nothing.

-----

"I agree with Rallyn," Charlotte says anxiously, "we should find someplace to hide. At least for a few moments, anyway."

 

[Zhure]

Sildarin

Sh'ar agrees that looking into the antimagic fields is a good idea. The two of you walk down the hallway to where the effect was. Sildarin feels fine, but Sh'ar seems to be still very tired or injured.
It is probably the after-effects of the poison, Sildarin thinks to himself.

When they arrive at the spot on the floor where the field was, it doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Charlotte, Ellie, & Rallyn

One orc leaps out of the underbrush almost at the group's feet. With surprise, each one unleashes two arrows, one for Rallyn, and one for Charlotte. The creature is wearing black studded leather armor and wielding a black short composite bow, like his brethren Charlotte spotted earlier.

Rallyn takes 12 points of damage, Charlotte takes 9, both were only hit once. Initiative please

 

[Dalamar]

"Wha... it was... here... right... here..."
Sildarin is getting really confused. He goes over the area, trying see if the field has somehow moved.

!

Current HP: 7/16

Initiative: 14 + 2 = 16

"What the...!" Charlotte cries out in alarm and pain. After taking a split-second to recover, Charlotte lunges at her opponent with her rapier.

Attack: 9 + 4 = 13

Damage: 2

Zhure, how long has it been since the last combat? Two of the powers I manifested earlier had 1 hour durations, so it might matter.

 

[Jeremy]

Current HP: 11 (23 former -12 damage)

Rallyn is clobbered, staggering back two steps from the arrow that seems massive standing out of his chest due to his small stature. "Should have *gurgle* listened the first time..."

Initiative: 14 (14 roll +0 mod)

Rallyn tries to fall and roll into a bush taking as much soft cover as possible while he tries to recover.

He unshoulders his light crossbow and sqints down the sights, trying not to hit Charlotte, but between his awkward position, the brush in between them, and the arrow digging into his chest his shot goes wide of both by more than a few feet.

Attack Roll: 5 (6 roll +3 mod -4 shooting into melee)

Owie! That was more than half my remaining hit points. Another shot like that will have me on my death bed.

Edit: Added attack.
Edit 2: Removed attack, no quick draw.
Edit 3: Re-added attack. Any character with at least +1 base attack may draw a weapon as part of a movement.

Sildarin

Sildarin can still see on the floor the half-footprint that was the deciding clue from before. This is obviously the same place...

Psicraft check please

Charlotte, Ellie, & Rallyn

Initiatives
Charlotte 16
Rallyn 14
Ellie ? <
Orc 10


The group is halfway into cover when the orc leaps out, wounding both Charlotte and Rallyn with his initial shots. Charlotte steps in and pinks the orcish sniper with her rapier.

Rallyn ducks back, stunned by the assault.... then quickly looses a crossbow bolt, but misses the orc.


We need Ellie's action and initiative.

OOC ---> Initiative Roll 4+1=5 (Lousy d20)
OOC ---> Damage 2+3+3=8 Will Save, Half

Ellie will use the last bit of her power to manifest inflict pain on the orc. And then move closer to it, hopefully drawing attacks away from Rallyn and Charlotte.

 

[Zhure]

Initiatives
Charlotte 16 <
Rallyn 14
Orc 10... 8 points damage/?
Ellie 5

The orcish sniper shuffle steps back a few feet and double-shoots at Rallyn again. It looks almost as if he is intentionally choosing what he considers the most injured target.

Dangit, missed twice! Rolled a 5 and a 3! ARGH!

Ellie manifests a power on the creature and it is obviously staggered by the effects.
