[AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Kelsis the Bright Eyed, female sibeccai akashic

*Kelsis will try to shoot her bow again, then drop her bow, pick up her ranseur and set to receive a charge from the running rhodin.*

 

[DrSpunj]

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 3

Kalythar shoots at the rhodin on the right, then drops his bow and moves up to Kelsis' left side (as much as possible). During the move he draws his Athame. Working both hands around the hilt, he makes sure he has a good double-handed grip on it in the rain. He shakes the rain out of his eyes and mane while growling loudly & laughing. "Come on you scum! Glacial Wind is hungry!"

Round 2

Korwin drew back his bow a second time, launching an arrow at the Rhodin, who was much closer this time. Still it flew wide, missing in the driving rain. He tossed his bow back behind him and drew a longsword readying himself for the charge he knew was coming.

Kelsis too chose to let another fly before swapping weapons. In the dim light and driving rain she saw the rhodin warrior baring down on her stagger and slip in the rain soaked grass as her arrow breached its armor somewhere around its right shoulder. [ooc: hit #2, 1 dmg, failed balance check] Taking no time to congratulate herself, she drew her ranseur setting it against her braced foot ready to accept the charging rhodin.

Kalythar drew back his bow and launched an arrow at the other warrior bearing down on him and Kelsis. Only 20 feet away he saw the arrow fly wide missing by a few inches. Dropping the bow, he reached for his swordaxe and advanced upon the rhodin placing himself beside Kelsis in the pounding rain.

The rhodin who had fallen to Kelsis's arrow picks himself up off the ground to watch as the other four of his fellows crash into the line of defenders. The one heading for Kalythar lets out a loud bark as it swings its battleaxe hard. But the warrior's balance was completely off having charged across wet ground, it's axe swings short sending dirt flying to the side.

The one charing Korwin dodges in low, ducking around his sword and slipping its battleaxe up under the Korwin's shield. The rhodin burries his axe deep into Korwin's side, laughing manically at the blood that flows freely, mingling with the rain. [ooc: hit Korwin, 10 dmg]

One of the two heading for Aadin and Gren pulls up short. In the pounding rain, Gren can see a greenish-blue rune glowing on the Rhodin's left cheek. It shifts its sword to its shield arm and points at Gren. The glow from the rune flows down it's arm joining with the water of the rain. From the tip of its outstretched finger a ball of baleful water gathers and launches at Gren. The roiling, glowing ball of water streaks out towards the wolf totem warrior but passes harmlessly to his left.

How ever the distraction provided by the ball of water allows the other charging Rhodin to sneak his axe past Gren's defenses inflicting a greivious wound to his right leg. [ooc: hit Gren, 7 dmg]

Aadin, seeing the one rhodin weild powerful water magic decides that it would be best to send his animated spear in that direction. It catches the rhodin off guard. Bursting into flame, the runes previously inscribed upon the spear flare to life. The rhodin twists in an attempt to avoid the worst of the fire as it leaps from the point of the spear. Successfully avoiding the worst of the flames the rhodin watches the spear carefully. [ooc: hit #5, successful reflex save vs rune of fire affiliction, 7 dmg + 4 fire dmg]

Gren drops his bow behind him and grabs his swordstaff determined to get back at the rhodin who hit him. Propelling one end of the deadly weapon towards the creature he slams it into the sheild arm of the creature. [ooc: hit #3, 10 dmg]

Rinaldo seeing an opportunity works his way behind the rhodin who is attacking his companion. His jaws find purchase around the creatures leg bitting hard. The creature falls, bleeding profusely from the two wounds inflicted upon it. [ooc: hit #3, 4 dmg, trip attempt failed, rhodin falls unconscious]

[ooc: dmg recap: Korwin 10, Gren 7, #2 1, #5 11, #3 14 (unconscious)]

 

[DrSpunj]

"Nice shot, Kelsis!" Snarling about his own arrow missing, he turns to the rhodin who just attacked him and grins. "I knew I needed some practice. Remind me to thank them all later for offering themselves up as sparring dummies. Hey! Ugly! Here's yours!"

After readying his shield, Kalythar aims a blow at the rhodin who just attacked him.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Kelsis the Bright-Eyed, female sibeccai akashic

Yes! Kelsis thinks to herself, That one is mine

*Growling deep in her throat, Kelsis uses the reach of her ranseur to try to slice the closer rhodin apart, though she tries to keep one eye on the one she wounded.*

"Come to me vermin! You see your own death in my eyes!" she cries into the pounding storm.

Aadin Lofgred, 3rd Level Human Runethane

Aadin grins, a wild, almost manic look coming over his face, still set in concentration. He moves his right hand again, the spear darting forward in response, attacking the same Rhodin. With his other hand, he pulls forth a stone, moving his thumb across the surface of it. A sudden flaring rune, a brilliant, phosphoric white, sends out a flash into the driving rain. A sudden form seems to coalesce around the stone.

(OOC - Aadin is maintaining concentration on his spell. As a move-equivalent action, he's retrieving his inscribed stone, and triggering the Rune of Conjuring to summon a Eagle of Electricity. If he can, he'll flank Rhodin #5 with the spear on one side, and the Eagle on the other.)

Round 3

Korwin, injured but still standing slices at the mean looking rhodin with his longsword. The sword clangs against the rhodin's chainshirt dully, its echo drowned out immediately by the driving rain.

Kelsis swings her ransuer at the rhodin attacking Kalythar, but she is distracted by the other beast and misses. She does keep a close eye on the one that she hit with her arrow and watches as it picks it self up off the ground and looks directly in her direction growling.

Kalythar bashes the axe head of his weapon into the side of the bandit that he and Kelsis are facing knocking it back a step. It staggers from the hit clearly on the brink of loosing conciousness, dropping its weapon. With the blood flowing from the gap in it's side it reaches out to try and grab Kalythar, who is dragged down by the weight of the beast. It's grasp however fails as it slides into unconciousness. [ooc: Kalythar: hit #4, 11 dmg, Rhodin #4: initiated grapple (you both missed AoO) successfully, wins strength check (21 vs. your 9) and pins you. Then falls unconscious at -2 from the exertion.] Kalythar is prone with an unconscious Rhodin on top of him.

The rhodin beast who had just picked himself up of the ground sees an opening and charges at Kelsis. Showing off his amazing ineptitude the beast misses horribly on its swing bringing the axe down well to her right.

The beast facing Korwin dances in sending another well timed slash aimed at his midsection. Korwin manages to avoid the blow at the last second, dodging to his right.

Harried by the dancing spear the rhodin caster brings up his sword pointing it at Aadin. A small glob of mud forms in his other hand which he then tosses in that direction. The mudball hits Aadin squarely in the chest knocking the wind out of him [ooc: cast spell, hit Aadin for 8 dmg.]

Aadin's spear stabs at the rhodin caster but misses. Concentrating on the rune he has created, Aadin conjures an eagle made of electricity. A bright flash of light and crack of thunder echo in the rain as the eagle dives towards the rhodin. Unfortunately it is unable to get past the rhodin's defences as he ducks to avoid it.

Gren seeing the caster engaged takes the opportunity to charge into the fray too. He crashes into it swordstaff point first. The blade of the sword cuts deep brusting from the creatures stomach and tearing outwards as he draws the weapon back out. It staggers from the greivous wound but regains its composure and looks menacingly at the totem warrior. [ooc: critical hit #5, 14 dmg]

Rinaldo follows in his conpanion's footsteps aiming to bring down the caster as easily as it did the other one. But his jaw's fail to find purchase in the slippery rhodin's hide.

[ooc: dmg recap: Aadin 8, Korwin 10, Gren 7, #2 1, #5 25, #3 14 (unconscious), #4 12 (unconscious), Kalythar - Prone.]

Kelsis the Bright-Eyed, female sibeccai akashic

*Kelsis growls back at the one she injured, and turns to bring her ranseur to bear against him the second he enters her reach.*

"Come to me vermin!" she cries.

 

[DrSpunj]

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 3

"Bah! Watch out, Kelsis! Apparently they're out looking for dates! This one has gone and thrown himself at me trying to give me a hug!"

[ooc: Kalythar will shrug the unconscious rhodin off of him and stand up. I'm not sure how much of his turn that costs him, but if he's able to do that in a single Move Action he'll take a 5' step towards Kelsis' opponent and swing at him if he can.

 

[GladiusNP]

Aadin Lofgred, 3rd Level Human Runethane

Aadin cries out in pain as silt and earth spatter into him.
"May the Dramojh take you, and your kin!" he says through clenched teeth, spitting the words at the Rhodin caster. Grimly, he focuses his mind on the runic forms he has scribed, again attempting to spear the Rhodin with his enchanted weapon.

His attention is also drawn to Kalythar, somewhat belatedly, and he asks.
"Kalythar! Are you alright?"
