Seeing that so far hisw companions focus on the three opponents south, Brenron follows suit.
-''Just like in a hostile takeover, it doesn't pay to spread yourself too thin. Let's knock them out one at a time!''
A thunderous boom precedes thunderous missles flying towards enemies. The human bum and the crossbow and katar wielding gnome able able to hold fast against the booming attack. The slinky gnome though though doesn't have the fortitude, blood drips from it's ears, and it steals a glance at the dwarf.
"Let's play then." The gnome then disappears.
Tamarand is not happy, not happy at all. The blow meant for his side he instead knocks away, and propels it into the foe near him. He looks over his shoulder at Sheeva
"Well, here you Lyrander, got myself all cut up for ya" he jokes, as he reaches into his inborn gifts and creates a sphere of darkness around himself, the enemies in front of him, and Doggie.
"Ah, that's more like it. Let's play" the drow hisses as he pulls forth his enchanted dagger and channels his anger through the blade. It slams into both enemies brains with a force that sends them flying through the air twenty feet away from him.
Shava ducks under the hail of arrows, but luckily seems sees to avoid the barrage. She looks up at the bridge and know that if nothing's done about them, it's the archers who'll end up killing them all.
I can make that in one jump, but just barely. She looked to her friend Roswyn, but knew that the bridge would provide excellent cover for her but didn't think she could do.
That leaves the drow. . .
"I'll cover those archers. WIND!" Shava's eye's flashed with lightning and a huge gust swept across the bridge picking up the half-elf and gently prodding at Tammarand as well. Shava lifted up and over the gap falling onto the bridge, dagger drawn.
[sblock=R1]Any movement from you?[/sblock]
Tondrek blinks and then exclaims in pain and surprise as violence springs around him, including the sudden pain in his side. He cries out again from other attacks, including the bolt sticking between Doggie's finely tuned parts. However, even without acting, his efforts were at work. The magical checks he had done on Little Big Girl's weapon and Scary Dark Man's armor payed off as arcane power rejuvenated them.
As Talky Gnome and Scary Dark Man vanished in different ways, Tondrek focuses on retaliation. Tondrek and Doggie step back a moment, and then the half-orc quickly taps his staff against the ground. The magic flares, gathering trash and refuse until it coalesces into a burning pile of walking junk behind Tamarand's attackers near the swirling colors. Tondrek's new friend roars in elemental fury, challenging the assailants! The adrenaline from his summoning clears the poison out of Tondrek's system.
[sblock=Actions] still in post order. Let me know if you want your defender in a different spot.[/sblock]
The guard leader swings his glaive at Rohna, and the weapon strikes through the goliath's armored belly, knocking her backward.
"You will not stop us," says the capain and he steps away, patting out the flames that burst upon his form.
[sblock=ooc]Hits Rohna for 8 and she is marked by L. L recharged power(but uses it again). Save success:
L vs ongoing fire damage (1d20+2=19) [/sblock]
The pattern of the wizard entrances the mind of the blade wielder bum. He unwittingly steps closer to the pattern, until his mind breaks free and he charges Tondrek. His legs move like that of a turtle but the the bum still manages to find a gap in the piecemeal armor of the artificer. Finding leadership in the captain's strike, the bum pushes on.
[sblock=ooc]Hits Tondrek for 11.
w vs Tondrek AC (1d20+11=25, 1d8+4=11) Bum uses power to heal.[/sblock]
The sound of small feet upons stone are heard by the flaming defender. It dodges out of the way of a war pick held by the formerlly invisible gnome. Grimacing and covered in blood, the gnome doesn't look in great health.
[sblock=ooc]M fails to recharge power.
M vs F AC charge, CA (1d20+14=21, 1d8+4=8, 1d6=4)[/sblock]
The other gnome, holding crossbow and katar is pulled towards the illusion. Almost immediately, it shakes it's head in confusion and leaps around the combatants, ending flanking with the bum. The numbness it it's legs keep it from striking true with it's blade, and the weapon is easily dodged by the half-orc.
[sblock=ooc]Move; and use shift/attack power. Miss Tondrek:
k vs Tondrek, flanking (1d20+14=16, 1d6+5=6) [/sblock]
The gnomes above move to the edge and train their crossbows on those below. Two fire upon the half orc, the others against their own kind. One missle clatters off the stone near Tondrek's feet. The other sinks into the small of his back. Both bolts strike the gnomish wizard, and they snort in victory. One strikes her in the shoulder, the other in the calf. Roswyn faints from the pain.
[sblock=ooc]Miss/Hit Tondrek(6 damage). Hit/Hit Roswyn.(16 damage)
2 vs Tondrek, 2 vs Roswyn (1d20+10=21, 1d6+4=5, 1d20+10=22, 1d6+4=6, 1d20+10=27, 1d6+4=7, 1d20+10=28, 1d6+4=9) [/sblock]
[sblock=ooc]Also you can easily tell the guard captain(L) is the leader of the bunch, the slick gnome(K) is hesitant to obey, perhaps because he is the most capable of them all.[/sblock]
