Adventures in Cormyr - The Doorway from Everywhere.

[stonegod]

"Damn it!" A wand in both hands, Vardrin rushes forward, surprisingly sure footed in the dark for a human. Both wands in hand, he closes in quickly but carefully.

OOC: mage armor has already been cast; he'll use the area attack wand (snowball swarm) if he can see targets and not hit our friend, otherwise magic missile on the most wounded/leader like.

Also moved this down here.

Nira Cydatell

“Oh this can't be good.” She states in her usual worried tone. With her hand crafted war drum in hand she quickly begins to pound out a familiar dwarven war chant while moving in to support her fellow friends.

Leonara

Dashing towards the ruins at full speed now, Leonara is easily outpaced by Stalker who runs just ahead of her.


OOC: Double Move.

Though bloodied and obviously on his last leg Three Eyes gathers his strength for a final assault, swinging his great club with all his might he slams it once more past Goran's defenses and into his side(16 pts).

With a grunt of pain, Goran Growls loudly in his bloodfury, and Smashes the Hammer into Three-Eyes face. With a resounding crack Goran's hammers shatters Three Eyes face (27 damage) and turns it into pulp and he watches in satisfaction as his foe fall down at his feet.

"It's a pity you choose to work against me Goran." Goran then feels two lightning quick blow from Lord Gargdol, one bounced harmlessly off of Goran's chain shirt while the other struck home (15 pts) bringing Goran to the very cusp of death. (0/57)

Goran looks around desperately as he sees his only chance of escape is cut off by the two hulking forms of Deadbiter and Redface. Redface pulls a horn from his belt and blows on it. And to your surprise thick billowing smoke swiftly spews out of it and begins to cover the entrance to the ramp.

As Deadbiter pick up the great club from his fallen companion he smiles viciously at Goran, as moves forward to finish him off.

Lord Gargdol holds up his hand and stops Deadbiter dead in his tracks. "This is your last chance Goran, surrender and you will get to live another day. Refuse and you'll die like Three Eyes."

"I really don't want to have to kill you as it will be much easier to convince your friends to let us go if you're alive."

[/sblock]

As the group sprints forward to rescue Goran you hear the sounds of battle as well as the sound of a horn being blown. When you reach the top of the ruins you're surprise to find it covered in billowing white fog.

OOC: I'll assume everyone made a double move so that you can reach the ruins in one round.

Hmm, not sure how you handle Grappling, LR... realistically, my idea would be to grab the guy and use him as a 'human shield' (Goran =good grappler). By the RAW, however, not only would they take no penalties to hitting me, but I would loose my dex mod to AC.
Is there a Middle gorund somewhere, or is the classic "grab the boss and use him for cover" tactic unavailable in D&D?

[stonegod]

Vardin's face snarled and he cursed as the fog. Effectively blind, he prepares to blast anything that comes out of it.

OOC: Ready magic missile (wand) against any hostiles that emerge.

Thodan pulls up short, and takes a moment to withdraw his everburning torch and thong it securely to his wide leather belt. That, at least, would give them some light to see their adversaries by.

Seeing the mist obscuring the way below, the cleric of Tempus takes a moment to prepare for the coming battle.

Nira Cydatell

She stops short of the mist and attempts to peer through it. After several seconds pass by she shrugs her shoulders and then looks back towards the group. “Do we go through?” She asks in muffled tones.

[sblock=Jemal] I'm all up for thematic tension and I'm always ready to make things as realistic as possible, but be aware that Goran is disabled (zero hit points) so if he takes a standard action he will drop down to -1 [/sblock]
OOC: Currently there is a 10 foot patch of fog covering the entrance to the tunnel below. And everything is deathly silent.

 

[Legildur]

Dowkan doesn't hesitate and immediately enters the fog.
