The rest of the shift, and in fact, the rest of the day goes by smoothly. It becomes quiet after the event with the salesman... a little too quiet. The sun sets once more and then at close to 5 am, as the sun starts to comes up, Alexia and Gurdan are finishing their shift, preparing to hand over duties to Lord Jarot and Garrick.
[sblock=Perception Check] Everyone roll a Perception Check: DC
31!! (And this is why they were able to sneak around the city and steal stuff, ... good luck) [sblock=Success] You can hear the sounds of padded foot-steps on the roof moments before you see the glass from the skylight shatter and two warforged drop from the cieling onto the large table. You are allowed to act during the surprise round[/sblock] [sblock=Failure] (OOC: Unfortunately this will be most if not all of you. IC happens to like these guys. Hopefully IC will like you too!) You are caught off guard and startled when you see Gurdis' skylight shatter, followed swiftly by two warforged. You do not get to act in the surprise round. [/sblock] [sblock=Either (after checking your result above)] The warforged look at the group with menace, drawing their daggers and preparing for a fight. "Give us the Gem or DIE" they yell in unison. [/sblock][/sblock]
[sblock=About...] Combat: I will be rolling Initiative. For this first battle, I am adopting Mal's combat system. I will be rolling init for you all. The bad-guys will have 1 init (average of all the combatants). Whoever rolls BETTER than the BGs can post in whatever order they post in. Then the BGs will take their turns. Then EVERYONE will go in whatever order, HOWEVER. I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if at the top of your posts you would put down which round of combat your actions apply to, so that when I go back through, I can just count 6 posts of actions per round. It'll make my life a LOT easier. Thanks! [/sblock]
[sblock=OOC]
Initiative:
Well... That made things easy... The BGs will go first and then all of you guys will go. I guess that would make it my turn. [/sblock]
[sblock=In Character] The warforged before you scan the room for the gem. Not seeing it, one of the warforged call out to it's allies and you hear a another shattering sound as three more warforged jump into the house from the window, glass covering the floor. They look down at Grryth and over at Alexia, drawing their blades. The front door flies open with a loud BANG and three more stand in the doorway near Lo-Kag.
You seem to be surrounded.
One of the warforged look familiar to you. He has greenish-yellow glass covering his eyes. He points at Alexia from the front door.
"We WILL have the gem! You cannot stop us!" He scans the room, his eyes glowing. Turning to his companions he shouts
"Tear the place apart if you must, but FIND IT!" [sblock=Actions] The warforged spend their turns moving and entering the house, then listening to their leader while searching for the gem. (
I gave you guys a +10 bonus to stealth for the gem for hiding it in a very sneaky place. You guys rolled a nat 20!!! They do NOT see the gem! ) [/sblock] [sblock=Turn Tracker]
