[Adventure] Leader of the Pack ( DM: Velmont, Judge: ??? )

[Velmont]

Four lupine change into human forms while the dire wolf dismount the peasant riding it. But Ulmar raise his hand and all the group seems to wait peacefully but ready to attack at anytime. "Inside? You mean my brother is here? Zelgar!" shouts Ulmar.

Zelgar exits by the main door, but stay next to Ghourra, behind the protection of the owlbear.

"Brother, there is only one way to end all these bloodshed. Join us. Join the pack!" Ulmar gestures toward his wolf companions.

Zelgar grasps his holy symbol tightly and replies, "I have come to rid you of your curse, Ulmar, one way or the other! The Flame offer you a choice: repent as the man you once were, or die a monster! Allow me to perform the ritual that will set you on the path of redemption! That offer extend to everyone."

That answer doesn't seems to satisfy Ulmar who lower his arm. At that moment, everyone know what is coming up...

"Sorry, I tried, it's up to you, but keep him alive." tells Zelgar to Ghourra, heading inside for cover.

Having left his horse a moment ago, Khazin was moving through the forest. He had heard noise of the incoming wolves and had decided to approach the farm from the cover of the forest north of it. He overheard the speech and approach with caution. But as the silence fell, his instinct tells him the time of being cautious is finish and dash toward the farm and as he come into sight, he spot Bellegon quickly acting before Ulmar launch his attack.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Initiative: Bellegon; Deimos; Ghourra; Khazin; Mythra; Vander; Zelgar; Enemies (1d20+6=21, 1d20+4=16, 1d20+3=4, 1d20+8=23, 1d20+8=18, 1d20+6=18, 1d20+3=20, 1d20+10=19)

Bellegon, Khazin and Zelgar act before the enemies. Khazin move into the map and Zelgar takes cover, so only Bellegon have his action before Ulmar and the others.
[MENTION=69684]WEContact[/MENTION]: Khazin end his first round of action at Z1. So you'll be able to act after the enemies.[/SBLOCK]

[MetaVoid]

Bellegon appears around the corner surprising the werewolf he can see. Quickly casting his curse, he glares at the beast making it recall the pain of it's tranformation. The dagger in his hand flares to life as it's magic enhances the attack.

Bellegon remains close the the house, but avoids standing directly over the window in case those peasants inside decide to take sides again.

The worg is the first to react and charge on the owlbear and kill the beast in a single bite.

The peasant move around the house except on who move on Deimos and try to attack him through the window without much success.

One man turn into his hybrid form before he charges Bellegon who avoid to get wounded by is sharp claws.

Ulmar and a second man turn into werewolves and charge on Ghourra. Ghourra is unable to contain both opponents and get wounded by the frenzied werewolf while he block all of Ulmar attack.

Strangely, the last werewolf doesn't change into his hybrid form. He simply walk toward the house and stare at Deimos who get fascinated by the man.

[Son of Meepo]

OOC: Deimos should wait until I finish posting. I'm going to give him one or two chances to save against the dominate effect. [MENTION=13739]Velmont[/MENTION], can you post the basic attacks of the enemies, I need to roll an opportunity attack against myself.

 

[Son of Meepo]

Ghourra swings her axe at the werewolf but he is able to dodge. Still the prayer on her blade allows Deimos to shake off the compulsion.

Then he steps back and throws his weapon at Ulmar, but the dire wolf causes him to hesitate for a second.

[sblock=Actions]Standard: Brand of the Sun (1d20+12-1=16, 2d6.minroll(2)+8=15) (MISS F1)
Effect: Deimos makes a saving throw.
Deimos: Save vs Dominate (1d20=14) (SAVED)
Move: Shift to J11.
Action Point: Inspiring Shot (1d20+12-1=23, 6d6.minroll(2)+8=25) (JUST MISSED U) Power is reliable, so retained.
(Ranged attack provokes OA from F1. Not sure if Ghourra has cover from the wall or not.)[/sblock]

OOC: I missed a bunch, but Deimos is no longer dominated.

OOC: Can't post the statblock until I know the results of the OA.

[Velmont]

GM: @Walking Dad: I will rule that you can't use Infernal Wrath on Seledor. A free action is, at my opinion, not an interrupt action or no action. As you trigger is you need to get hit, once hit, you were dominated and you had no more free will to trigger your power. [MENTION=36973]stonegod[/MENTION], what do you think of that?

 

[WEContact]

Khazin can see the fight unfolding on the other side of the farm house, and almost bolts in that direction to help- until he sees the pack's cronies skulking toward the back door, apparently hoping to get at Zelgar and any civilians inside without going through his allies. A smart move, but Khazin wouldn't have any of that. He grins, and darts between the peasants and the back door, felling the first of the three with a quick stroke. He carefully avoids the man's vitals, in case Zelgar would rather they were rehabilitated along with his brother.
