(Adventure) The Haunted Halls of Stonepike

[Guilt Puppy]

Rage, charge. Scream, foam the whole way. Doesn't matter who or what's in the way, he's gettin' to that thing as quick as he can, and slamming his scythe in as deep as he can.

(Edit: That's Owlbear B, unless A moves closer. I was originally in a bit of a hurry when I posted, and didn't catch from the description that there were two of them.)

Rurik awoke, and looked around from his prone position. As nothing was immediately upon him, and he was unarmored (having been asleep), he reached for his shortbow.

"Remine me ta get me a c'mpozit one a' these things," he said to himself as he nocked an arrow.

Now raising to his knees, he let fly at Owlbear B.

Thurgan - Init: 10; AC: 18; HP: 29/29; Weapon: War axe +6, 1d10+2+1d6 sneak

Thurgan groaned inwardly as he approached the creature to attack. He had thought the creature was closer . . . the further he rushed to it, the larger it got. 'Should'a stayed at the smithy,' Thurgan thought as he buried his war axe in the creature. The finely crafted weapon bit into the creature, but didn't do as much as Thurgan had hoped. The screech brought him back to attention.

'I heard tales from one of the adventurers at the smithy 'bout this creature - an owlbear,' Thurgan thought.

"I gots no plans ta be ya dinn'r, ya bugger!" Thurgan roared back at the creature, swinging his waraxe again. He stepped to the side, under some of the branches of the tree, hoping against hope that the boughs would get in the way of the large creature's attacks.

OOC: Attack, adjust 5' to D9

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Telerin will stand up and get out his shortbow, letting off an arrow when he can at Owlbear B, calling out to Whitefang to help Thurgan out.

 

[Aranel]

Aranel, safely hidden, caught her first glimpse of it and made a small whimpering noise.
Hideous beasts....like something from a fever-induced nightmare. She shivered and took careful aim, watching it a moment before pulling the trigger carefully.

((Aiming for OB2))

OoC:Ack...I didn't see nimisgod's post, and I have been waiting on him to...er...post. Sorry,all.

Ishmael wakes and stands, gripping Violet and ready for action.

<I changed your Owlbear, since B is dead>

Thurgan burris his Waraxe int the Owlbear's chest <10HP>, though it remains standing.

Whitefang, needing no incentive from Telerin to attack this Beast, rushes in, latching onto the Owlbear's leg <5HP> and Tripping it.

The massive thing roars and goes down,the wolf tearing at it's tendons...
<Whitefang kicked it's butt on the Str/Str test,who wouldhae thought.I've seen footage f Wolves taking down elk like tha...ugly>.

Urgan rushes up and around, fighting to get to the melee to the North, though making it only part of the way <F-9>.


OoC: Waiting to see what Aranel wants to do...

Round Two

 

[dpdx]

Rurik, on his next action, will take the occasion to drop his bow, grab his waraxe, and move to make sure Owlbear A doesn't kill Thurgan.

 

[Uriel]

<The Owlbear is currently Prone, -4 AC to melee, +4 Ac to missile attacks>

 

[Keia]

Thurgan - Init: 10; AC: 18; HP: 09/29; Weapon: War axe +6, 1d10+2+1d6 sneak

The bugger was faster than Thurgan thought . . . as the owlbear grabbed Thurgan in both paws, crushing him. Several links popped on his chain shirt as Thurgan avoided the owlbear's embrace. 'I'm not givin' as good as I'm gettin', Thurgan mused through the pain of a cracked rib or two.

Thurgan was relieved when he saw Whitegang through his tearing eyes . . 'I'm glad the boy's on my side,' Thurgan thought.

Thurgan gave it his all and swung at the owlbear, hoping the creature would stay down.

OOC: 5' adjust again (if possible to get in a flanking situation with the owlbear), power attack (-2 to hit, +2 damage).

 

[nimisgod]

AC 15; +7; 1d6+3

Gathering his courage in his heart, Sir Ishmael charged the remaining Owlbear, Violet held high to strike.
