[AU] Butterfly Cage

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

OOC - Please tell me any preparations or tactics you guys are doing before you enter.

 

[Erekose13]

"Those of us with ranged weapons should fire first then let the melee types charge forward. Perhaps we should concentrate our fire on the mohj first so he cant slip through our fingers again." Scinathar offers.

 

[WizWrm]

Sanje draws his sword and unslings his shield, placing them in his right and left hands, respectively. He nods and says, "When we come into sight of them, Grathis, Connor, Galen, and Scinathar will open with the first volley, while Mochor and I charge in immediately after. Those four of you who are in possession of ranged weapons, seek to position yourselves in front of any exits after your first attack. Cast preparation magic and select your targets now; we will enter immediately after. Stay on the outside of any turns in the path on our way there; they may hear the noise of us moving and try to quickly set an ambush. Is there anything else that is needing of thought?"

 

[Keia]

Connor listened diligently, nodding his head as he did. When he reached for a weapon, he realized that he had no missile weapon on him. Connor added, "Only Mudballs for me, probably three of them."

OOC: Spells remaining 0th: 5, 1st: 3

 

[Dalamar]

"For those with magical skill, I can hand out a sack of sand that duplicates the effects of a mudball spell when infused with a little magic. I can also command them to lay on the floor, which might be useful."
Galen incantates his Rune of Armor on himself.

 

[Rybaer]

Grathis nods at Sanje's suggested tactics. He hooks his morningstar on his belt and draws a javelin from the sling across his back.

"Perhaps we should focus the physical attacks on the mojh and the spells on the others," Grathis suggests. "At least initially."

 

[Jaik]

"The human male appears extremel;y bland, but his large assortment of weapons shows that he is either fickle and foolish or very dangerous. nevertheless, the naked competence of the female seems paramount to me. I shall engage her at the start." Mochor tilts his head side to side, rolling his shoulders and slightly shaking his arms, loosening his joints in preparation for the melee to come.

*Prepared, the party dashes around the corner. The three look very startled, and then angry as the party unleashes their assualts. Lornae fires one of her annoying little bolts, and this time it actually hits someone who is not in the party. It pierces the cracks between the mojh's arcane armor and lodges in his shoulder.*

*Galen takes out a small handfull of sand, that quickly becomes a ball of mud as he hurls it through the air. It plasters itself against the face of the man, and you can see blood tricking down behind the mud. Connor tries to throw an identical spell at the woman, but she adroitly dodges it.*

*Scinathar tries to put his crossbow bolt through the mojh, but it scraps off his armor. On the other hand Grathis takes out one of his javelins, pulls his arm back, and lets it go with a mighty heave. It sails through the air like a bird, and suddenly slams right into the stomach of the mojh. It gasps for air, and quickly wrenches the weapon out of it. The woman begins to move in front of the mojh, as the man begins to scrape the mud away from his eyes.*

[Initiative:
Lornae - 24
Connor and Galen - 13
Bad Guys - 12* (next round)
Sanje - 11
Scinathar - 10
Mochor - 6
Grathis - 4
Lornae hits the mojh for 1 point of damage, Connor rolls a 3 (natural 1) and misses, Galen his the man with 16, does 4 points of damage, and blinds him, Sanje waits, Scinathar hits an 8 and misses, Mochor waits, Grathis hits a 21 and does 8 points of damage, wounding the mojh badly. Surprise round now over.]

 

[Keia]

Connor - Init: 13; AC: 13; HP: 7/7; Wpn: Staff +0, 1d6-1 20(x2)

'Don't aim - throw,' Connor reminded himself. 'Need to relax and throw, not think this is a life and death situation.'

OOC: Same spell, hopefully better effect.

 

[WizWrm]

Sanje - Init: 11; AC: 17; HP: 12/12; +4 bastard sword (1d10+4, 19-20/x2)

Sanje charges the mojh, his sword held high, slashing at it with a powerful overhead blow.

Not factored into above stats: +2 attack, -2 AC for charge. If the woman moves in the way, Sanje will attempt to overrun her.
