B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[kinem]

Rezak's morningstar heads straight for the big man's bare back ... until it seems to bounce off from an invisible screen, leaving the giant unharmed.

The giant steps away from Rezak, and then he seems to concentrate for a moment.

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"Oh, my," Barek says as the guard gets closer to him. Realizing he's managed to block his own path, the bard sets his jaw. His dagger glows faintly in his grip as he takes a step and lashes out.

OOC: Swift action to invoke Arcane Strike (+1 damage and counts as magic vs. DR), 5' step and attack: Dagger Attack;damage (arcane strike) (1d20+4=14, 1d4+3=6)

Barek's dagger is deflected by an invisible field of force much as Rezak's attack had been.

Caridoc is clutching at straws. He has just seen both his companions' melee attacks bounce off the guard and he doesn't have any spells that can effect him. Caridoc steps behind Barek and, using his body to hide him from the guards sight, casts a spell. Suddenly the sound of a guard patrol can be heard approaching the head of the alley. Meanwhile, Caridoc keeps an eye on Cartha in case he tries to escape.

Celythia swears, and throws another handful of acid at the guard.

Rezak helps surround the half-giant and lifts the morningstar up in both hands. "Nuttin' personal, ye just'n needs tae go ta sleep, is all."

Celythia's acid misses the guard.

Rezak's morningstar finds a path through the shields of force, but the man almost dodges out of the way and is able to sidestep almost all of the impact.

[sblock=ooc]damage to temp hp[/sblock]
Despite the sound of the approaching watchmen, the Veiled Society guard swings his greatsword at Rezak in retaliation, but Rezak's chain shirt stops the blow.

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"Rezak, careful keeping that weapon in your hand as the guard approach," Barek warns, though he's clearly more concerned with the greatsword the half-giant is swinging, and keeps his eyes tightly trained on it so as to avoid the blade as he channels his own power.

"Now, friend, I think this is just one of those stories we'll one day laugh about with our children. Perhaps we could start practicing that now?" The scowl of the half-giant seems to shift for a moment as it feels the effects of Barek's magics.

OOC: Casting Hideous Laughter defensively. Concentration check: Concentration Check (cast defensively) DC 17 (1d20+7=26) Success. Half-giant needs a DC 15 will save, or he falls prone and can't take any actions.

 

[ghostcat]

Trusting the others to take care of the guard, Caridoc draws his dagger and holds it to Cartha's throat. "Go on make my day." he says in a menacing voice.

"Third time is the charm, right," says Celythia, throwing another dart of acid.
