Academy of Drell, Part IV

[novyet]

Having no other choice, Ellie will draw her dagger and close to attack the orcish sniper.

OOC ---> Attack Roll 14 + 2 (BAB) +1 (Masterwork), Damage Roll 3

The Grove

The grove is surrounded by a low stone wall. It is artificial, but designed to look natural. A series of overgrown hedges sit atop and around the stone wall. Only one footpath leads into the grove, although one could conceivably climb through the shrubbery.

A few pine trees are scattered about the grove. On the far eastern side of the grove is the pool which leads to the pool. The grove is basically round, about sixty feet across, with the pool taking up most of the eastern third.

The northenrmost side of the grove is butted right up against a strong cliff face.

Rallyn scans the area quickly then makes a dash for the nearest pine. He throws his back up against it and winces as the arrow shifts.

He quickly reloads and cocks his crossbow, keeping an ear out for which way to move around the tree should the orc charge.

Victor walks along the road till he can't see no more the light of the candle, watching around curiously and stepping beside the footprints he finds.

Victor

Victor travels a short way up the road until the candle is a dim light in the distance. The road begins to zig and zag, more from some erosion than the designers original intent it appears.

Dimly in the poor light, he can make out a cairn of stones a few yards off the roadway....

"Rallyn, fall back!" Charlotte calls out.

She then drives hard into the sniper with her rapier.

Attack: 13 + 4 = 17

Damage: 2

Charlotte, Ellie, & Rallyn

Initiatives
Charlotte 16 <
Rallyn 14
Orc 10... 15/? points damage
Ellie 5

Once again, Charlotte wounds the orc lightly and Rallyn dashes away to seek cover, reloading his crossbow.

It watches Rallyn leaving and turns his sights on Charlotte, stepping back and double-shooting once again.

The first arrow skims by, missing by a narrow margin, but by jinking out of the way, Charlotte has exposed herself to the second arrow, which drives in viciously.

7 points! The archer shoots, he scores! While I'd like to claim that was intentionally putting Charlotte at 0 hit points, it was a random roll.

Ellie steps up as Charlotte winces and stabs the beast deeply. It seems as if the only thing keeping it alive is it's ferocity and rage.

Current HP: 0/16

Not... good...

Must strike again... must kill... the orc...

With her last strength, Charlotte slashes wildly at the orc as she falls over...

Attack: 18, which is a threat...
Attack: 11 + 4 = 15.

Damage: If critical not confirmed, 5.
If it is confirmed, 6.

After her attack, Charlotte falls over, unconscious.

HP at end of round: -1/16

 

[Zhure]

Charlotte, Ellie, & Rallyn

Charlotte falls over in a heap and begins to bleed as the orc collapses on top of her, stone dead....

edit- Base 267 Experience points each, adjusted upwards to 300 because I like round numbers and the little meanie was lucky.
