[Adventure] The Cannith Caper (Judge: THB)

[EvolutionKB]

Varak continues to press on the bugbear. A shroud settles over the goblinoid, and the half-orc can better see a vulnurable point in the bugbear's defenses.

Varak ducks below the guard of the bugbear, slashing in a frenzy with his blades, not heeding for his own safety. It doesn't matter though, because the bugbear is caught completely off guard and the half-orc cuts ribbons of flesh of it's legs, exposing the white bone underneath. Not finished, the half-orc steps to the side and plunges his blade into the belly of the bugbear, so deep it chips the wall behind him.

Whirling frenzy vs bugbear reflex: whirling frenzy att/dam/my dam if miss/shroud dam vs ref (1d20+11=31, 2d10+9=23, 1d6=6, 2d6=2) CRIT!!: 29(weapon) + 12(shrouds) + 12(furious assault) + crit dice vs bugbear (2d6=9) = 62 damage....That should bloody the bugbear which trigger my whirling slayer ability. Shift to V39(bugbear grants CA and Rampage: rampage vs bugbear (1d20+13=23, 1d10+6=13) for 13 more making the total 75. I don't think there is any way for me reach B3, and do damage so I'll just sit tight.[/sblock]

Hatlor grunts as he is hit the first time. He tries to use his momentum to duck on the first, but the slipperiness of the floor works against him and he is hit... hard. Wiping the dirt from his mouth, he straightens and spits at the hob's feet. I've had worse. He steps away from the two but swipes at the more damaged one. While the attack misses, it becomes clear it was a feint as Haltor calls, Varis, Gark! Get the other while this one's distracted!

As the bugbear stands and attacks, believing himself free of the warden's attention, suddenly a small bolt of lightning shoots out from Gark's glaive and knocks the bugbear back a step, taking the wind out of him and slowing his movement. "Thought I wasn't watching, eh?" Gark taunts as he continues to face the threats behind him. Taking a cue from Haltor, he steps into position and slashes the bloodied bugbear hard across the chest.

Varis sees the option for flanking, but got a better idea in mind. Timing his movement and reach just right, he summons a lightning spray at the two bugbears hobgoblins. "Haltor! Give and you shall receive!". One of them falls under the assault.

Harressh spits a ball of ice towards the bugbear at the other end of the room, but it sails wide.

Varak continues to press on the bugbear. A shroud settles over the goblinoid, and the half-orc can better see a vulnurable point in the bugbear's defenses.

[sblock=Warden's Grasp]Opps - sorry, my mistake - so the bugbear is fine (for now)...[/sblock]
Seeing his companion hurt behind him, Gark barely manages to catch the hobgoblin next to him - but he catches him all the same, and once again flings him into the corner of the room where he lands on his back with a thud. "Pff, boring, I'm going to play with the big kids," he taunts the hobgoblin as he rushes over to join Varak and the bugbear. "Would you mind if I join you?" he asks Varak with a laugh.

"Pff, boring, I'm going to play with the big kids," he taunts the hobgoblin as he rushes over to join Varak and the bugbear. "Would you mind if I join you?" he asks Varak with a laugh.

The hobgoblin stands up and rushes Varis, slashing a wicked wound on the half-elf.

The bugbear drops his garrote and says "The gold ain't worth dying for"

[sblock=Enemy Actions]
B3 - stands and charges Varis - charge on varis (1d20+11=31, 1d8+6=13) (forgot -2 that time, but doesn't matter). Crits for 20 damage

"Hmf, no fun," Gark says as he walks away from the bugbear. Casually strolling back down to the hobgoblin, Gark says, "Again, you never learn when to stay down!" With that he reaches out with the glaive, catching the hobgoblin hard on the back of the neck and dragging him to the ground between Gark and Haltor. "For you, sir: our special today is hobgoblin, freshly diced," he says to Haltor with a smile.

[sblock=ooc]move: move to AB40

standard: Tempest Assault (reach) vs. B3: 27 vs. AC for 11 PLUS TWO = 13 damage, slide to AA40 and is prone.

free: mark B3

stats = exactly the same[/sblock]

 

[evilbob]

[sblock=ooc]Not that it will probably matter but I think Varak got +4 temp HP for blooding the bugbear... I think someone gave that buff out...[/sblock]

 

[Walking Dad]

[sblock=ooc]Varis used Majestic Word on the warlord last round. Does the hobgoblin looks like he wants to continue the fight, or will he surrender, too?[/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

ooc - yeah, I didn't remember it but it very likely won't matter.

re: hobgoblin - well he hasn't thrown down his sword yet

 

[Walking Dad]

Varis d'Lyrandar , Half-Elf Bard 4

Looking at the deep gash, Varis steps back. "You are cofused. I'm no melee combatant." Powerful magic pulls the hobgoblin away toward Hatltor and the others. "Here. Maybe he wil surrender now."
