[Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

[Mewness]

Sir Flibbertigibbet bows low to Rain, still hanging in midair. "Lady, you are wise, and your fine discernment must be a model for all of us, even for certain pig-headed brutes upon whom it is thoroughly wasted." He floats very close to Rain's ear, and murmurs in passing, "It is unfortunate that the lad was hasty in his oath; but he is not entirely in his right mind, and so may be released, should it come to that--but I yet have hope that, uncertain as my lord Ragnar's temper can be, he will not change his mind about sparing this boy if we can but save him now."

The pixie turns back to Basal. "So then, Basal, what do you say? Has my sudden presence so intimidated you that you wish to back out of this foolish battle? Then do so at once, be off with you! If not, then I will agree to the terms, as this eloquent blue-complected lady has amended them, right gladly; and you should know that my word is good--for I will swear on the fair city of Daunton and my own good sword." (It seems odd that a pixie should make a vow by the city of Daunton, but the tiny man seems quite sincere.) There is a brief pause. "I said, 'my own good sword,'" says the pixie very loudly, causing a ginormous glowing rapier to plummet from the ceiling point first and almost skewer him. When he darts down to the floor to retrieve it, it shrinks to a much more manageable size.

 

[jbear]

"I heard you, Mosquito!" roars Basal, whose cheeks had turned a darker shade of green upon the pixie's appearance. "Your bluster and pomp makes bile rise from my bowels. You have just agreed to let me teach you the painful lesson that Ragnar has never let me impart to you. If indeed your appearance means the devilling and her band speak true, and that I have been sent on a fool's mission, then it is you that will feel the sharp sting of my frustration. That at least will be some small comfort. But enough talk. I would play this game out and have at least some small satisfaction in doing so!"

The giant surges forward and so the duel begins!

GM: Go ahead and roll initiative while I get the map up and ready.

I suppose I should find token pics for Sir F and Daphne? Actually Sir F should probably be a tiny little glowspot or something, given that he can fit in other people's spaces.[/sblock]

Sabynha was amused by the unfolding drama, but didn't expect Basal to fly into a fury so quickly.

The verbeeg hunter becomes a blur of activity. Loping across the room effortlessly towards the group, he spins his spear like a staff. Three ripples of force cut through the air in three different directions. The pixie nips away, and Sabynha steps back in time, but Wat is caught by sudden attack. He feels the shock numb his mind. Blinking, it takes a few moments for the invoker to focus and his will and strength return. "Begin!"

Sir Flibbertigibbet blows another blast on his horn. “Attaaaack!” he shouts, pointing his sword at Basal and flying around the table. The wolf responds sluggishly, trotting behind him with a questioning look. “Oh, hang you, Daphne,” mutters Sir Flibbertigibbet, before putting on a sudden burst of speed and charging at the giant with all his force. There is a sharp cracking sound as his blade strikes home, and tiny shards of ice spray in all directions.

Standard: Sir F charges to E7. icy skewer charge vs basal (+2 CA, +1 charge); damage (+1d8 vanguard)

Sabynha immediately reacted to Basal's sudden attack by launching into her dance of blades. With a gypsy holler she summoned the last of her courage and charged forward against this formidable opponent, hoping to use the distraction of the newcomer to her advantage.

Her timing was spot on. Using the pixie's distraction, she leapt up from the table in a pirouette, and clocked the giant in the ear with the edge of her buckler.

[sblock=actions]Minor Action: Focused Discipline (offence - + 1 to hit with basic attacks)
Minor Action: Song of Serendipity (an ally can claim + 2 to hit if I hit with a basic attack)
Standard Action: Charge from L7 to H7 (flanking position with Sir Flib); basic attack 1d20+8+2+1+1=20, 1d6+6=11 (non-lethal)
If that hits (I will assume it does and edit if it missed), use a Free Action to use Lesser Flash of Distraction to render Basal Dazed until EONT.[/sblock]

OOC: An ally can claim a +2 bonus to an attack roll. Basal is Dazed EONT. When I submitted my first attempt on this post, I got an error message from the forum and lost everything, so I re-did it. :\

 

[jbear]

Basal grimaces as the pixie drives home its icy shard into his body. His response is instantaneous his spear flashing back towards the pixie, but the tiny creature dances out of the way. It seems the verbeeg has underestimated his foes as Sabynha closes in and clouts him around the ears, leaving him momentarily dazed.

GM: Sir Flib's atk triggers an action: Sweeping Riposte 17 vs AC=Miss Basal's AC is 18; He is currently Dazed
