B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[kinem]

Luck is finally with the wounded Rezak as his morningstar clips the giant guard, and knocks him out, bleeding.

ooc: Will anyone attempt to stabilize the big man?

 

[Rhun]

Celythia ignores the unconscious giant. "Perhaps we should be on our way, before the Watch arrives?"

 

[jkason]

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"Thank goodness," Barek sighs as the guard falls. He sheathes his dagger and bends down to the bound Cartha.

"Now re-bind that thing or drop it before the guard get here," the half-orc says to Rezak with a grunt as he hoists their prisoner back into place on his shoulder. "And just in case, Caridoc, maybe you could make sure the bruiser doesn't meet the gods today? I suspect assault with a forbidden weapon carries a far smaller punishment than murder with one. I'd use the wand to do it, but with our luck he'd wake right back up and finish Rezak off."

 

[ghostcat]

Cursing himself for having wasted a spell, Caridoc cancels the Ghost Sounds and starts to stabilises the giant. Meanwhile he addresses the others, "Barek, can you keep an eye on Cartha. I have a feeling he is trying to escape. Rezak, if you move down the alley a about 10 yards, I will try to heal you. I don't want the magic to effect these enemy."

[HolyMan]

Rezak tosses the bloody mace away from him and moves down the alley. "I need checks it anyway."

 

[Rhun]

Celythia moves downs to the end of the alley, to scout out what lies ahead of the group.

 

[kinem]

As Celythia scans the building across the street, which is about 20' high, she notices some odd shapes on the roof.

The shapes shift as six small lizard-men throw off blankets and aim crossbows at the elf!

Because she noticed them in time, she can react before they act.

[Rhun]

Celythia backs quickly down the alley, using whatever is available to seek cover from the crossbows. As she moves back closer to her companions, she calls out a warning. "Archers on the roof across the way..."


OOC: Double move, 35' north, 5' west

 

[kinem]

A few of the kobolds let loose at Barek, and scratch him with their bolts.

ooc: total of 8 damage; PCs to act

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek swears as the bolts draw blood. Then he pulls a bit of fleece from his spell pouch.

"You know, the most frustrating thing about navigating a thriving metropolis is how quickly new construction springs up, yes?" he says, flicking the fleece into the wind. It wafts through the air until it lands in the street, where it takes on the appearance of brick, then expands quickly, until it builds itself into a full-fledged wall that blocks the kobolds' line of fire.

"Now, let's get the bloody hells out of here. And no more out of you!" he says to Cartha, shoving a rag in the mouth of the bound man on his shoulder.

OOC: Using his last 1st level spell to cast Silent Image. At 3rd level, he should be able to create 6 10-foot squares, more than enough to create a figment of a wall, I think? Kobolds get a save if they interact, which I assume would have to entail them either firing at it or one of them being foolish enough to jump on it and take falling damage.
