AU: Northlands

[FaenFriend]

Tenkar and Kai-Moash are led into a ring. The steward sets his staff between the two, waiting until both combatants are ready before raising his staff and shouting "Begin!"

(Initiatives, guys. If you both state a willingness to accept each other's die rolls, you can cut me out as the middleman; it's entirely up to you.)

Kai-Moash smiles broadly at Tenkar.

"Go easy on me, my friend." He raises his maul, holding it in both hands before him and nods to the steward that he is ready.

Initiative = 13. I am willing for Tenkar and I to roll on our own, but if he prefers Paxus to roll, I won't be offended in the least.

 

[tenkar]

Tenkar looks his friend in the eyes, a wary smilie on his face. "Easy on you, lad? Take it easy on me! My noggin will only take so much pounding." Tenkar gives the steward a nod that he is ready.

I'll let the DM roll for me... this way the scene can proceed even if i miss one of the early day posts

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

(Working from the statistics on the OOC thread, since there's no character sheet in the Rogue's Gallery; Tenkar got an 8 initiative, so it's to Kai-Moash first. Target AC is 15 this round, 16 once he's no longer flat-footed.)

 

[FaenFriend]

The moment the steward raises his staff, Kai-Moash leaps forward, his maul sweeping in a downward arc toward Tenkar's head. The blow connects.

Attack roll = 10 +8 (melee bonus) = 18. Damage rolls = 2 and 5, two-handed strength bonus = +9, so 16 damage. I am assuming that the padded weapons do subdual damage and that we do not have to take -4 to do subdual damage. If this is not the case, I missed.

 

[tenkar]

Tenkar sees stars, lights, and little wiggly things after the blow to his head. I never saw that coming... hell, I can't see much of anything right now...think I know where Kai is... gonna look like a fool if I miss

Roll them dice for Tenkar Paxus me lad... I expect to eat dirt, but hope to do it in style

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Spinning from the force of the blow, Tenkar returns with a double-handed swing in sixte, hammering into the giant's abdomen and driving the breath from him.

(That's 11 subdual, FaenFriend. Incidentally, all damage is healed after each fight; this isn't even deep bruising, just buffets.)

 

[FaenFriend]

Hmmph ... little fellow packs a wallop.

Kai-Moash heaves his maul back upward toward Tenkar's body, but he seems to have lost his momentum and the maul wooshes somewhat slowly through empty air as Tenkar nimbly steps out of the way.

Attack roll = 6 + 8 (melee) = 14. Miss!

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Tenkar lunges forth, seking to take advantage of the giant's miss, but slips slightly on the slick ground, missing in turn.

 

[tenkar]

I look like a fool... cant keep my footing and I see two of Kai... thankfully I dodged one of the two I just saw swing at me

 

[FaenFriend]

Taking advantage of Tenkar's slip, Kai-Moash lunges forward and swings his maul straight into Tenkar's chest with a heavy thud.

Attack Roll = 18 + 8 (melee) = 26. Damage (2d8) = 2 + 2 + 9 (two-handed strength bonus) = 13 damage.
