(Adventure) Trek to the Vinyard...

[Thels]

"Hey, seems like we found them." Zoe says to her companions as she walks up the stairs.

 

[WizWrm]

"Indeed," says Velbrik. "Be careful, lest they be surprised and mistake us for more orcs." He follows Zoe up the stairs, bringing Daryn along.

 

[Keia]

Thurgan sets the bag of loot and the mace out by the door, so that he'll remember to take it with him when they head back down (and so he's not loaded with it now). He then sighed, and drew another bolt and readied his crossbow, following Troi.

Upstairs

Troi,Felix and Thurgan all distinctly hear someone coming up the stairs behind them. Troi can hear the sound of armor jingling and the creak of leathers...Zoe..., causing him to relax a bit.

Zoe and Rinaldo appear, then (upon seeing their friends), wave elbrik and the child up as well.

******************************************************
Zoe and Rinaldo advance, ten wave the others up as well.
Standing in a long Hallway are Troi,Felixandyr and Thurgan.
Suddenly, something behind them causes Zoe to gasp.
A door at the far end of the Hallway has opened fully, and two forms are streaking towards the trio from behind...

Zoe calls out and points, allowing Troi,Thurgan and Felix to turn (avoiding being Suprised). The two shapes look lke coal-black Wolves, though their eyes glow a hideous green. Silent in step and with no sound coming from their lips, they charge at you.

Rinaldo can just barely see an other form moving down in the Bedroom where the wolves charged from, a manlike shape outlined bya lightning flash through the windows.

Initiative

Rinaldo 22 (Natural 20, and first)
Troi 21
Felix 20
Zoe 19
Thurgan 17
Daryn 14
Velbrik 3 (I really am sorry )

The Wolves are 60 feet away, the Hallway is 15 feet wide.

<There is a bit of cover between you and them, 2 suits of plate armor stand about halfway down the hall (if that matters in all of this). As well, there is ther open doorway that Thurgan has just re=entered the Hall from>

Each line is aprox 5 feet. Assume that there is adequate light, from lightning flashes and any Sunrods present (I think velbrik was carrying one).

 

[Velmont]

HP: 4/7, AC:14 Att: Range: +2 / 1d4 or 1

Rinaldo move foward, stay befind the line mark by Felix. He is on the opposite side and take a ready action, when the wolves will charge on someone, I'll throw my dagger at them when they will be about 5 or 10 feets away from their target.(if I couldn't take it back after throwing it at the orc, I'll throw a dart).

With that, you can hear Rinaldo: "But when it will all finish!"

 

[Uriel]

Rinaldo moveas forward, ready to attack wheever the Wolves present a viable target.

Troi 21
Felix 20
Zoe 19
Thurgan 17
Daryn 14
Velbrik 3

[Keia]

Thurgan - AC: 15; HP: 6/9; Wpn: Lt xbow +2, 1d8 19-20 (x2) +1d6 sneak

Oh how quickly emotions do turn. . . . from nervousness from those approaching on the stairs to relief that it was his companions to slight fear of the unnatural newcomers. Other than a slight widening of his eyes, those emotions remained buried beneath Thrugan's thick beard.

Thurgan turned and fired his crossbow at the creature on his right. "Well, them don't seem like natural wolves, huh?" Thurgan muttered. Hmmm, nice looking suits of plate mail . . .wonder who made those? he thought as he noticed the armor in a lightning flash.

OOC: Thurgan will drop his crossbow and draw his rapier if approached after he fires. If not approached, he will reload.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Troi - Initiative: 21; AC: 16; HP: 8/8; Weapon: Rapier +4, 1d6+1

"No, Thurgan, they don't look like normal critters." Troi says, crouching slightly.

Making a Knowledge (Arcana) check to see if I know anything about them. Also, if they happen to be magical beasts, then I get a +2 bonus on various checks and damage rolls.

Troi moves up thirty feet, to put himself in the wolves' paths. He then readies himself for their attack, preparing to slash at whichever of the two comes close first.

Taking a move action 30 feet forward, then readying an attack action against either of the wolves if they come within reach.

OoC: Also, as a sidenote, whips still deal normal damage to creatures with natural armor of +3 or lower. Not that it makes much difference in the last encounter (and I don't know how much NA they had anyway), but it might in future ones.

[Edit: Init is 21, not AC...]

 

[WizWrm]

Seeing the wolves charge forward, Velbrik whispers quietly to Daryn, "Don't worry, we won't let them get you. Be brave."

He takes a position in front of Daryn, guarding him against the wolves should they charge. His bow out, he calls, "Friends, fear not! Hear the tale of Admaios the Bold, who faced a similar situation and prevailed against the odds!"

He begins chanting in a rhythmic manner, an epic detailing the exploits of Admaios.

Moving in front of Daryn to guard him, inspire courage +1

 

[Thels]

Zoe yells: "Let's get them!" as she runs forward to take position on the first line, making herself ready for combat.

OOC: If the wolves happen to act first, Zoe will charge at one of them if possible.
