Adventure: Just Before Nightfall (DM:johnmeier1, Judge:Ozymandias79)

[renau1g]

[sblock=Charge]
Half-orcs get +2 speed when charging[/sblock]

 

[johnmeier1]

[sblock=OOC] Waiting for any movement or words by Dextyr or Larinza. Then (or now) KenHood can get a surprise round if he wants (just realized that would be the mechanic) or he can move and maybe get surprise later[/sblock]

 

[DMDanW]

Dextyr holds his position at the back waiting to see if the current situation will break out into a fight of if the chance for diplomacy will arise.

 

[johnmeier1]

[sblock=DMDanW] it may not be obvious, but you are still in the corridor, along with some. That is why I gave this opportunity now. You can't see anywhere right now since the rocky texture on the map is collapsed rubble floor to ceiling.[/sblock]

 

[DMDanW]

[SBLOCK=Johnmeier1]
Yes Dextyr cannot see into the cathedral, but he has adventured with Tonk long enough to know what to expect. He's guessing that if there is something to smack with his mace, Tonk will, and then a fight will ensure very shortly. Dex is just waiting for the screams...

[Moon_Goddess]

Larinza simply delays and waits back to see what the others do.

[sblock="OOC"] Let Tonk have his surprise round.[/sblock]

 

[johnmeier1]

[sblock=DMDanW] I figured that Dextyr might be the only one to act during the surprise round, because Tonk charging would be expected [/sblock]

[sblock=KenHood] Just waiting for you to decide on Tonk's action. Since he doesn't get a full turn, Tonk won't be able to reach his target this round, so if you want to post stealth movement or walking movement go ahead (or start the charge?)
[/sblock]

 

[KenHood]

Tonk's gonna wait.

 

[johnmeier1]

Tonk moves forward in the shadows and the rest of the party take a few steps or hold their positions. The man behind the altar reaches his hand back and holds it over the woman.

Now, shall I kill her in front of you or you in front of her? he says before turning slowing with a smile on his face with red eyes gleaming faintly in the dim light.

[sblock=Low Light Vision]He appears very pale and has fangs visible in his smile. She appears to be tied down using rope to the stone altar but she is only struggling weakly.[/sblock]

When he turns completely his smile turns to open mouthed shock, then anger. He lifts his hand and points towards Shorrin. Who the hell are you four?

[sblock=OOC] Okay, I got Tonk into charging distance and in any case the man himself seems somewhat aggressive. Initiative order is below:

Name Init Pos HP HS AP
Tonk 21 H14 29/29 1/8 1 <- you are up!
Larinza 18 K7 34/34 6/8 2 <- you are up!
Man 12 J23
Janus 11 L9 27/30 3/7 2
Shorrin 9 K10 43/43 6/13 2
Murphy 8 N11 37/37 6/8 1 Hidden from all
Dextyr 8 J6 29/33 6/10 1
[/sblock]

[sblock=Passive Perception 12] This could be everybody, but there are four vampire spawn at the top of each main column - 6 squares up - in the cathedral "hiding", they are at initiative 9 just before Shorrin (higher mod)
They aren't looking at Tonk or Murphy, just the other visible PCs.
Vampire M17
Vampire M21
Vampire G17
Vampire G21

Lainza steps forward from the hall, "Us? Oh we're just bunch of nobodies sent to save that girl there, so you pretty much got two option here. Either you leave and leave this girl alone, or, we're the last people you ever live to see. It's up to you."
