(Adventure) Feral Smackdown Battle Royale

[nimisgod]

Sir Ishmael narrowed his eyes but moved aside to create a path for the Druid should the Druid choose to walk past the Halfling. "Take thyself from this place and prepare thyself for Justice Divine. No crime of thine will go unpunished, villain. On mine own life, I swear this."


<When the Druid leaves Troi, Sir Ishmael will go to him and expend all 4hp of healing he has, dropping his shield for a free hand>

Kirin sees the standoff, makes a comment under her breath and hurls one of her holywater flasks at the feral spellcaster to make room in her hand to ready her sling.

If there is an orc still living Felix will shoot it. as he does so he shouts out to the others.
"Aye, I would not lose a friend no matter the black heart taken, if we must then let him pass!"

edit: Just read what Kirin did . I guess it's all moot now...

Velbrik furrows his brow at the druid's response, frowning. "Whether it is immediate or not, and coming from either foolishness or spite, then, you've chosen your own death over the life that was offered. I'll grant you the brief time you may still have under your bargain, however. Release him, and you'll have a few moments to run, but kill him and you'll die."

If he attacks Troi, Velbrik rushes forward and tries to use the wand. Presuming that fails, he'll do an improved feint (Bluff +8) then attack with the longsword.

[Before Rurik reacts, some brainstorming. Could somebody (Rurik, if need be) possibly Bluff that Kirin was trying to heal Troi with the thrown flask? Failing that, a question: Can Rurik attempt to shoot the flask, skeet-like, BEFORE it hits the Druid? I'll wait for some resolutions before I decide what Rurik does...]

 

[Uriel]

Just like in the Movies...
OoC
I am going with the held/readied action and then the top of a new round, since everyone else is standing around.

Kirin peeks around the corner, hurling a flask of Holy Water at the Druid
<Kirin's Hide 6+roll9=15. Druid's Spot 12+roll6=18>.<To hit roll '20',no crit,breaks upon his face,sending up a gout of smoke and enraging him. The Druid falls back,snarling...

Rurik's arrow punches a hole through his side <another '20',sheesh, no crit 5HP>,Telerin's arrow hits him in the leg <6HP>.
Velbrik leaps forward's, activating the Wand,touching Troi <healed 7HP, brought to +2>.
Tara's bolt hits the Druid in the side <8HP>

The Druid <20> turns towards Telerin,smiling and leaping nto the air,Wildshaping into a great black eagle, flying over the head of Sturm <AofOp hit for 7HP,fails to kill the Druid>,Aranel (AofOp misses) and finally Telerin <AofOp misses>,who hears the Eagle's mocking screach as it wings it's way up and out of the Sacrificial Chamber....

OoC: I assume Telerin would want to get another shot off at the Eagle,so <roll9+2 (or 4 with magic arrow, still a miss) is a miss...>.

IC
Telerin <19> elerin turns and fires, but fails to hit the bird.

Aranel <18> loads and fires her crossbow,but is dismayed when the string snaps in twain <'1', I was just being creative>.

OoC: None of the rest of the Party(either one) is in a position to reach/attack the Druid at this point as I see it. Beyond the short chamber that the Eagle just flew into is a stairway leading up. No mention of closing doors was made, so it looks to be a clean getaway for the Druid at this point. Feel free to scream/correct me/whatever, although let's confine it to this thread...

Thurgan <17>
Rurik <12>
Velbrik <12>
Kirin <11>
Felix <10>
Troi <9>
Sturm <7>

editted out stupidity

OOC: I'll just wait for Sir Ishmael's action to come up

 

[WizWrm]

Are there any open doors ahead of the eagle within sixty feet of where I stand?

 

[Uriel]

Are there any open doors ahead of the eagle within sixty feet of where I stand?

OoC
Not within sixty feet, except for the one that is right behind telerin (and the eagle is already past that point), good thinking with the Open/Close, though.
After the Eagle leaves the room, it moves through the next room (which is about 30X30) ending in a short flight of stairs up and beyond.

 

[WizWrm]

Would've had to be mage hand, actually, since that's what I have on my spell list. But yeah... Too bad I can't just grab the bird ("unattended, nonmagical object"). Here's what I do, presuming no one else has any method of giving chase. There's also some buying/selling I want to do, but I'll hold that off until later. Doing a bardic knowledge (+5) check to see if I know anything about the order of St. Feragon, also.

Velbrik says, "What was your name? Kirin, said the halfling? That was a dangerous decision you made. Despite my words, I never had any intention of letting Troi die - I was merely bluffing for a better position. Hence, why I agreed to the druid's terms at the end. I did hope, however, that I would've had a chance to betray him, but I had a feeling he'd be too smart to allow an opportunity."

He looks at Troi and gives him a brief summary of what happened while he was unconcious. His voice is steady, smooth, and urbane, possessing even a bit of a musical flair to it.

Velbrik turns to the others. "Well, perhaps this engagement did not go quite as well as hoped, but we're all alive and shall soon be no worse for wear. I am Velbrik, bard and historian of the College of Nobius," he says, bowing with a caped flourish. "My colleagues and I did in fact successfully track down the wizard Delmon. We entered his room to discover he'd been knocked unconscious, into a death-like stupor, guarded by a fire elemental. Thale here," he says, nodding to Thale, "Thale healed him, of course. He sent us on our way with thanks and a set of magical steeds, which was how we managed to reach the monastery at what looks to have been roughly the same time you fellows did. Troi is keeping a journal, I believe, and if you'd like a better accounting than I, I'm sure he'd be happy to relate our tale. Did you find anything particularly unusual in your journey to and through the monastery - a bit of knowledge or lore that may help us in fighting these minions of Kroggoth, perhaps?"

"It's too bad that the creature escaped. No tracks, either, but he hopefully will be not too far out of the grasp of magic, eh? First, though, we ought to ransack the monastery for surviving monks - those were the two others who came in with you, yes?" he asks, glancing at their fallen forms. "Are any of you familiar with the religion of St. Feragon? We ought to provide proper funeral rites for them. And I consider, perhaps, that he may allow us to...ah, utilize the monastery as a headquarters of sorts, as we pursue the feral menace, though it may be the Red Dragon Inn will serve just as well for that purpose."

He looks over to the halfling. "Ah, you speak Draconic. How excellent to meet another scholar. But you are a knight of some sort, correct? Is Draconic the usual training among your order? I would be interested in learning about this, for the only order of knight-scholars I can think of immediately would be the Ai-Ashre, and you are quite clearly not one of those esteemed individuals. And, if I may say, you used such an odd battlecry as well."
