[QUOTE="H.M.Gimlord, post: 5929852, member: 79440"] The crackling fire, and thud of falling timbers from what is left of the burning apothecary interrupt an eerie pause as a red flush of red passes over Vythdar Astrix's face, [FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=3][COLOR=gray][I]"I did not come here to parlay as if I had a losing hand in the matter!"[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] The man in gray is livid, and his voice softens, menacingly accentuating each syllable as a a mother scolding a disobedient child, [FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=3][COLOR=gray][I]"I made a demand. And you will comply."[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Vythdar Astrix raises a hand signaling to the archer on the roof. A crossbow bolt sails through the air, but falls just short of Max's foot. As the bolt strikes the ground, Seraphine screams as a second bolt finds its mark in her shoulder, sending her spinning. When Max reverts his gaze toward Vythdar Astrix, he finds the gray-coated 'gentleman' directly in front of him. Max doubles over as Vythdar's sword exploits a chink in Max's armor. With the force of a hammer, two more blows from the same sword send Max to the pavers, crumpling in a pool of his own blood. A bodyguard moves in to finish the job, and Max goes silent, breathing, but only barely. The second bodyguard surges ahead to interpose himself between Vythdar and Seraphine. A threatening, but effective strike with a greatsword serves as warning against any furher encroachment. Seraphine is bleeding profusely, but the pain of the blow is only exascerbated by the sudden fall of her compainion. The two thugs from the Apothacary move forward, but they manage only to distract Virgil and Seraphine with threats. Vythdar, breathing heavily with rage, but nowhere near exhaustion towers over Max's fallen form, [FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=3][COLOR=gray][I]"It seems such a shame to waste such talent, but I can accommodate anyone who would like to be next?"[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [sblock=Enemy Actions] [B][U]Archer 1:[/U][/B] [B]Standard:[/B] Bullseye Bolt Target: Max Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543302/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+21-2(Range)=25[/COLOR][/URL] Miss Bullseye Bolt recharges on Archer's next turn ([URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543302/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d6=6[/COLOR][/URL]) [B][U]Archer 2:[/U][/B] [B]Standard:[/B] Bullseye Bolt Target: Seraphine Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543303/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+21+2(Hidden)=37 vs. AC for 1d8+18=23 damage[/COLOR][/URL] and Seraphine is dazed Bullseye Bolt does not recharge on Archer's next turn ([URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543303/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d6=2[/COLOR][/URL]) [B][U]Vythdar Astrix:[/U][/B] [B]Move:[/B] Dimension Step to Q6 [B]Standard:[/B] Double Attack Target 1: Max Attack 1: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543305/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+23=30 vs. AC for 3d8+12=28 damage[/COLOR][/URL] + 15 Ongoing Force damage Granted push: None, but Max is knocked prone Target 2: Max Attack 2: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543305/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+23+2(prone)=38 vs. AC for 3d8+12=25 damage[/COLOR][/URL] Granted push: None [B]AP:[/B] Forceful Strike Target: Max Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543311/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+23+2(prone)=31 vs. AC for 3d8+12=27 damage[/COLOR][/URL] Granted push: None [B][U]Bodyguard 1:[/U][/B] [B]Move:[/B] to P11 [B]Standard:[/B] Charge to P6 Target: Seraphine Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543306/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+23=37 vs. AC for 2d10+13=30 damage[/COLOR][/URL] [B][U]Bodyguard 2:[/U][/B] [B]Move:[/B] to R11 [B]Standard:[/B] Charge to R6 Target: Max Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543307/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+23=36 vs. AC for 2d10+13=16 damage[/COLOR][/URL] [B][U]Blademaster 2:[/U][/B] [B]Move:[/B] O11 [B]Standard:[/B] Charge to O6 Target: Seraphine Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543308/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+18=28+2(dazed)=30 vs. AC[/COLOR][/URL] Miss [B][U]Blademaster 3:[/U][/B] [B]Move:[/B] to N11 [B]Standard:[/B] Charge to N6 Target: Seraphine Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3543309/"][COLOR=#0066cc]1d20+18+2(dazed)=27 vs. AC[/COLOR][/URL] Miss [/sblock][sblock=Status]Gloom:[COLOR=sienna] N4 [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]70/81HP[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkorchid]11/11HS[/COLOR] 1AP, Grants CA TSNT Haruka: [COLOR=#a0522d]L2 [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]82/82HP[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkorchid]8/8HP[/COLOR] 1AP Max: [COLOR=#a0522d]Q5 [/COLOR][COLOR=gray]-11(-26)/85HP[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkorchid]9/9HS[/COLOR] 0AP, [COLOR=gray]Unconscious[/COLOR], Ongoing 15 Force damage (save ends) Draglin: [COLOR=#a0522d]M4 [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]93/93HP[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkorchid]10/10HS[/COLOR] 1AP Seraphine: [COLOR=#a0522d]O5 [/COLOR][COLOR=red]35/97HP[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkorchid]13/13HS[/COLOR] 1AP, +1 Defenses, +2 Saves, [COLOR=red]Bloodied[/COLOR], Dazed (save ends) Virgil: [COLOR=sienna]M5[/COLOR] [COLOR=lime]46/46HP [/COLOR] Serras: [COLOR=sienna]N5 [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]48/48HP[/COLOR] Blademaster 2: [COLOR=sienna]N6 [/COLOR][COLOR=red]37(-Draglin's Crit Damage)/256HP Bloodied,[/COLOR] Grants CA to Serras, Grants +2 attack & damage TENT Haruka Blademaster 3: [COLOR=sienna]O6 [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]250/256HP[/COLOR], Grants CA Archer 1: [COLOR=sienna]M23 [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]108/108HP[/COLOR] Archer 2: [COLOR=sienna]X20[/COLOR] [COLOR=lime]108/108HP[/COLOR] Bodyguard 1: [COLOR=sienna]P6[/COLOR] [COLOR=lime]156/156HP[/COLOR] BodyGuard 2: [COLOR=sienna]R6[/COLOR] [COLOR=lime]156/156HP[/COLOR] Vythdar Astrix: [COLOR=sienna]Q6 [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]346/346HP [/COLOR]0AP [/sblock][sblock=Map][IMG]http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/ApothecaryRound5.png[/IMG][/sblock][sblock=Enemy Stats][IMG]http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/HumanBlademaster-1.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/Bodyguard.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/Archer.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/VythdarAstrixH.png[/IMG][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
