Against the Storm: Luskan (Summoning shaff)

[Calim]

Alexandrahar moves into the way of the orc who is closest to Ravin and try and disrupt any attacks until Ravin can get up.

ooc: Alex is total defensive

Ravin takes in his surroundings and glances about to see that there is someone there to aid him or so it appears.

Ravin is at 5, not negavites. He can get up as a move equiv. A man wearing a mask and mitheril armor under traveling clothes brandishes two swords at the orcs, and the three fight...

With a regretful glance at those fighting the guards, Mechothli follows Rannos.

Mecholithi, Rannos, and Jonathan move in closer to the guards.

The other elf in front pulls on a small wooden nub in the carriage, brining out a hidden stilletto dripping with a green poison. He drives it deep into the back of the Ogre-Mage, then jumps backwards onto the top of the wagon, rolls, and winds up sprawled on his stomach on top of the round covering. He pulls from under his jacket a folded bow, which he expertly unfolds and locks into place. he draws an arrow from a quiver on his thigh.

Four others fan out evenly around the back of the wagon, each weilding two swords, one long and one short. Although they seem adept at remaining in their "zones" and working in tandem, they fight in a mobile, fluid, almost dance-like fighting style. Mecholithi recognizes it as thildrar, taught widely to elven rangers in northern communities, particularly those in elite military units. At least two others are firing bows from inside the wagon.

Each elf is challenged by a large orcish guard with a greatclub, with two humans with glaives behind them

Ravin stands and looks around again. "Thank you stranger" with that said he will ready his invisibilty wand and defensively casts magic missle at the orc that the stranger has not directly engaged.

The guy who got stabbed is behind the healthy one, so Ravin blasts him, knocking him down. He starts getting back up, though.

The other orc lets out a war cry and charges. The masked man holds his ground, then briefly raises his smaller sword, to deflect the club slightly, then lunging forward with his larger sword, driving his blade through the Orc's gut (AoO v Headlong Rush Feat, crit. The Orc pulls away in pain, and the masked man slices a hole in his throat with his smaller sword. As the orc doubles over gasping, the masked man slashes his blade accross the Orc's neck, sending blood spurting everywhere, and in one fluid circular motion he raises the blade above the Orc's head and brings the blade down, cracking the Orc's skull open. The Orc falls to the ground, but moves to rise.

You hear more coming. At least two are coming from each of the two sides of the house.

The masked man says "Looks like a good time to get out of here..."

 

[shaff]

OOC: would Rannos be able to bypass the combat outside the wagon and jump into the wagon to fight the 2 with bows?

 

[Tanstaafl]

Mechothli draws her bastard sword and her short sword. She stays near Jon but will attack the nearest enemy if he joins the fray.


ooc: if possible she will make a full attack utilizing Imp2WF; if not she will make the fullest attack she can.

 

[Calim]

"Right behind you," Ravin will magic missle the previous recipient if the masked man finishs his off if not he will follow the man.

 

[shaff]

this is what Rannos looks like, although the face isnt pale like the drawing....

 

[DM_Matt]

"Right behind you," Ravin will magic missle the previous recipient if the masked man finishs his off if not he will follow the man.

The Orc that Ravin magic missiled stands back up, and Ravin blasts him again, blowing a huge bloody hole in his chest and putting him back down for good.

The four orcs round the corner, and appear well-burned. They must be among the same ones you blasted before.

"The masked man says. These are wounded...Whadda-ya-say we finish this?"

He engages one set of orcs. As they move in with their clubs, he parrys the outside orc with his offhand blade, and swings around to drive his other blade through the orc's flank, and then he spins rapidly to drive it again deep into his back. As the orc cries in pain, the masked man slits his throat with his other sword.

The other orc meanwhile lets loose a war cry and jumps at the masked man, smashing his club into his head, throwing him down on top of his dead adversary.
