[AU] Siege on Ebonring Keep - Part 2

[Gideon]

They get +4 to hit you in melee (-4 ranged), you get -4 to hit them

 

[rangerjohn]

OOC: Ok, thats fighting from prone. What are the penalties for rising from a prone position?

 

[Erekose13]

ooc: you will be subject to an attack of opportunity if you are in someone's threatened square and it costs a move action to do.

 

[Rybaer]

ooc - apologies if my last post suggested Danwyn was knocked down by the attack...he was not. I'll assume that he'll simply attack the creature that crashed into him.


Danwyn, struggling through the pain of the surprise attack, spins about and lashes out with his sword with the speed of his snake totem. His aim is true and the blade cuts deeply into the creature's neck, eliciting a growl of fury. (Attack roll, nat 20, crit verified with 14+5=19; dmg 15hp)

Ys-Korros rushes to intercept the other creature, slicing its flank with his sword. (Attack roll, 11+7=18, hit; dmg 10hp)

Ritsar darts across the camp, leaping over a sack of gear, and flanks the creature that struck Danwyn. He jabs his spear at the creature, but it glances off its hide at a low angle and fails to penetrate. (Attack roll 9+6=15, miss)

The creature attacking Danwyn bites and claws furiously at the warrior, though it seems now to be fighting more in defense than as the aggressor. It only connects with one claw, creating a small wound. (Attack claw/claw/bite: 14, 20, 10 - miss, hit, miss; dmg 5hp)

The other creature tears into Ys-Korros with utter ruthlessness, sending blood spraying across the camp. (Attack claw/claw/bite: 19, 19, 18 - hit, hit, hit; dmg 5+5+3=13hp)


Pyior and Ys-Baddaden up next. Others may post their next actions.

Initiatives:
Danwyn 21
Ys-Korros 16
Ritsar 15
Creatures 13
Pyior 8
Ys-Baddaden 5

 

[Gideon]

Ritsar, Full Health

Growling out his frustration "Die, beast!". Ritsar stabs out vicously . After his strike he quickly looks around to make sure his companions are surviving if not in the best of shapes.

OOC: Attack again. Are Danwyn and I flanking? If we aren't I'll move to complete flanking for that extra +2 to hit.

 

[rangerjohn]

Danwyn

Danwyn attempts to finish off the beast. Or at the least drive it from the camp.

 

[Erekose13]

Ys-Korros presses the attack, his own survival overriding his instincts to protect the life of his opponent too.

 

[Liminal Syzygy]

Pyior moves to a position behind Danwyn in which he is not threatened by the creature and casts Tranfer Wounds: Lesser on Danwyn.

As a secondary move (if he has time) he will study the creatures and try to identify them.

 

[Rybaer]

Pyior navigates his way around the camp to get close enough to cast his curative spell on Danwyn. While en route, he tries to study the creatures. They are of a species unknown to him, but certain characteristics suggest that these may be dramojh creations rather than natural creatures. If so, they would likely have been bred for aggressive behavior. (Knowledge: Dangerous Beasts roll 12+10=22, partial success; Transfer Lesser Wounds is a full round spell - in position to cast next round.)

Ys-Baddaden (in absentia) notes that Ritsar and Pyior have already come to the aid of Danwyn, so he moves to aid his brother against the other creature. He swings his morningstar, but misses wide. (Attack roll 3+4=7, miss)

Danwyn presses his attack, but his blade is turned aside by the creature's tough hide. (Attack roll 8+5+2=15, miss)

Ys-Korros' sword again strikes the snarling creature, tearing muscle and spraying blood. (Attack roll 18+7=25, hit; dmg 10hp)

Ritsar again jabs the creature with his spear, but this time the tip strikes the mark. It is a shallow blow that only briefly detracts its attention from Danwyn. (Attack roll 15+5=20, hit; dmg 3hp)

The creature attacking Danwyn appears to be increasingly panicked and enraged. It continues to lash out at the totem warrior. Danwyn is able to bat aside its claws, but its jaw tears into his thigh. (Attack claw/claw/bite: 11, 13, 20 - miss, miss, hit; dmg 4hp - putting Danwyn at -1hp...disabled but conscious...further strenuous actions will cause 1hp dmg)

With the taste of blood in its mouth, the other creature continues to tear into Ys-Korros...or tries to. Its attacks are all ineffectual. (Attack claw/claw/bite: 8, 10, 8 - miss, miss, miss)

Pyior sees Danwyn stagger under the creature's latest attack and realizes that his healing magic may have arrived just in time. Careful to avoid Danwyn's backswings, Pyior steps forward and places a hand on the warrior's back. His staff glows momentarily as he draws some of Danwyn's wounds into himself. (Transfer Lesser Wounds - 7+2=9hp healed for Danwyn and 5hp subdual damage done to Pyior)

Ys-Baddaden again swings his morningstar at the creature, but misses. (Attack roll 6+4=10, miss)


Back to the top of the order with Danwyn (who is no longer disabled).

 

[Erekose13]

Ys-Korros continues to press the attack seeing Danwyn stumble. "Unless you say otherwise Pyior, these monsters will have to be put down despite reservations. We cannot afford to grant quarter when they are attacking us so fiercely." he says regretting the way events have unfolded.

[ooc: I think that rangerjohn has unfortunately departed. hopefully he will have the chance to return though. see here]
