Ashy's Oathbound Campaign, IC [ARCHIVED]

[Ferrix]

Wracking her brain for mention of creatures called "gaunts" she attempts to sort out what sort of beast they are, outsider, undead the like [Knowledge the Forge +14].

Not taking her eyes from the murder of gaunts, as they were called, she says to the frey, "my name is Kiera, you can thank me later."

OOC: Initiative +1; How far apart are the four gaunts in the sky? That along with the knowledge check will determine my actions.

 

[deadestdai]

At the lizards' sudden departure, Baja frowns, but does his best to listen for and look about to see what could have made them leave in such a hurry. As he searches, his hand reaches back to the handle of his club in readiness for any unwanted surprises.

(Listen +6, Spot +3 also using Darkvision 60' if it is too dark to see otherwise.)

 

[ferretguy]

Seeing the dark winged shapes above the group, Julian, knowing that these creatures are of definite evil origin, shouts They're definitly readying for an attack! Sticking together would definitly be best!
He quickly shifts into a fighting posture ready to strike.

Init:+7...(rolled 15 total)

Kiera:

Spoiler

Knowledge (the Forge) check:1d20+14: (12) + 14 = 26 - You rack your brain, but recall nothing about creatures called the gaunt. The creatures in the sky are wheeling in a general circle, about 40 feet above your heads. The circle ranges from five feet to fifty as the creatures fly around and around like sharks circling their intended prey.

 

[Ashy]

"Are these gaunts demons, undead, or beasts frey? Close ranks so they can't swarm us, and take heart, it is time for battle!"

Kyron chants out an invocation of power as his life essence flares at the prospect of battle. Each mystical word and precise symbolic gesture made by Kyron taps into a well of divine power and channels it through the cleric bringing divine power to the fore, focused intensley to the luminous' purpose. With the invocation all those around Kyron feel invigorated and more finely attuned for combat as the war blessing infuses them with courage. The luminous' glowing aura brightens fiercely banishing the darkness around him.

The frey glances towards the glowing warrior, his brow furrows for a moment, and then he replies in a voice that seems much deeper than one would expect coming from the small feline. "P.C.! Th' name's P.C., glow-worm...and to answer yar question, these things is nasty little scavenin' bleeders! Watch their claws and especially them jaws - they're bone-crunchers!"

The frey holds up his left forepaw and the metal hums loudly for a breath or two and then explodes into a blur of magical movement, expanding outward and revealing an intricate interlay of strange components, all lit with an eldritch fire. Something whirls up and out of this nest of arcane devices and then, all is as it was before, save a foot long blade, slender, elegant and rimmed with faerie fire sits atop the metal stump. P.C. then begins to whisper a magical incantation...

(Listen +6, Spot +3 also using Darkvision 60' if it is too dark to see otherwise.)

All around you, Baja, (and the others as well) you begin to hear screeching cries, like the hoarse caws of ravens somehow crossed with the final screams of dying men. The sound, here, amongst all of these fallen creatures, sends chills down your collective spines. You then hear the unmistakable sound of the cracking of bones, and you now place the sharp, striking sounds you heard upon first entering this valley. Suddently, a rain of sharp, slippery bone shards begins all around you, those fragments that do not strike you thunking into the carpet of dead flesh around your feet with sounds that would make lesser men and women sick.

Baja:

Spoiler

Spot: 1d20+3: (19) + 3 = 22 - (No need for Darkvision yet, there is still a fair amount of ambient light from the slowly rising blue moon). You see that the skies are beginning to fill with scores of bat-winged, small humaniod creatures - it is they who are dropping (by regurgitation) these bone fragments down upon you.

Xerxes:

Spoiler

Knowledge (the Forge) check: 1d20+14: (12) + 14 = 26 - you search frantically for a clue to what these creatures could be, seeking some sort of advantage. Your mind blanks, however, and you cannot remember anything about these strange creatures which seem to be all around you...

Tristan HP: 64/64 AC: 22

Initiative: 1d20 +1 = (14) + 1 = 15
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 4 = (16) + 4 = 20

Tristan reaches over his right shoulder and draws his bastard sword, gripping it tightly in his hand even as he raises his shield above his head to ward off attacks from above.

Spoiler

His eyes narrow as he awaits the first enemy foolish enough to approach him.

[ooc - draw sword and hold action to swing at the first gaunt to approach him, attack

Spoiler

1d20 + 11 = (12) + 11 = 23
