B6: The Veiled Society - IC

- Start date
Celythia casts a spell, and a nearby part of the street is suddenly covered with grease. Of the two veiled men in the area, one slips to the ground.
Kynar draws his curved sword; apparently the 'binding' was not so tight. He steps forward and swings at a veiled man, but misses.
Simion Torenescu draws his own dagger and stabs at the stabs at the man who slipped in the grease, causing a minor wound. The good news is that the veiled men, like the beggars, don't seem to be wearing armor.
The beggars' leader draws his rapier, and also stabs at the man who slipped in the grease; he draws blood but it's not enough to render the man unconscious.
The southernmost 'beggar ' draws his rapier and, taking advantage of the nearby veiled man's attention being on Celythia, runs the man through. That veiled man goes down.
The 'beggar' near the western building draws his own rapier and stabs at a veiled man, who doesn't quite go down.
The one across from him also draws and stabs, leaving a veiled man wounded.
The northernmost beggar draws his rapier, but instead of attacking the closest veiled man, he heads away from the main action, passes Rezak, and slips past a swing of the spellcaster's mace to arrive on the opposite side of the spellcaster from Rezak, providing a distraction to the veiled leader that surely makes Rezak's threat that much more dangerous.
The veiled spellcaster doesn't call off his men; he starts to do something that looks like it could be concentating to cast a spell, so Rezak lets him have it. Rezak scores a slash to the man's neck, but it's not quite enough to bring him down as he managed to bend away from the blow a bit.
Suddenly there are two of the veiled spellcaster where before there had been one. Both images swing a mace for Rezak, but miss.
The veiled men move and attack, mostly missing but bringing down another 'beggar'. Two of them charge after Rezak, and one hits with his longsword. (ooc: 7 damage, Rezak hp 8/15).
The 'gamblers' move in, and one stabs his dagger at a 'beggar', but misses.

Thy wounds are healed!
Rezak swipes at the leader once more before sliping away from the vieled thugs.
[sblock=OOC]
So to be sure the caster failed his attempt to cast defensivly correct. And not because Rezak did damage.
This rounds actions:
Attack - 1d20+5 = 12, dmg = 10 that is a flank attack with sneak attack added.
Move - 5' step NW to the leaders left.

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard
"Take heart, men!" the half-orc calls out, holding his dagger aloft. It gleams with more than moonlight as Barek begins to sing of the strength of the man of the street to defend his home from masked invaders. The melody seems to send a charge through his allies.
[sblock=OOC]Swift action to use Arcane Strike to give his dagger a +1 for the round, then starting bardic performance: inspire courage. All allies +1 attack and damage[/sblock]

[/sblock]Having failed to hit the thug on his first attempt, Caridoc adjusts his aim and attempts to bludgeon the thug somewhere very painful. This time he connects but unfortunately the thug manages to move his leg in the way of the attack, so that although painful, the attack isn't life-threatening.

[sblock=ooc]HM: The caster didn't try and fail to cast a spell. He did something that produced a weak mirror image effect (1 image, so there appeared to be 2 of him) and also attacked (and missed) with his mace in the same round.
gc: I didn't mention Caridoc's action because there was nothing I needed to add to your description of the miss.[/sblock]
Rezak's slash strikes one of the images before him, and it vanishes, leaving only the real veiled spellcaster standing there.
Caridoc strikes a veiled man in the leg, and though hurting, the man stays up.
ooc: Celythia to act

Celythia draws her dagger, so as to better defend herself...but she calls upon her inherent abilities to strike, sending an orb of sizzling acid streaking from her fingers toward one of the veiled men.
Move action to draw dagger, standard action to use Acid Dart (Ranged TOUCH) +4 (1d6+1/x2) vrs Veiled Man 15' to the west/left of her.
Also, with dagger drawn, Celythia should get an attack of opportunity if the prone veiled man attempts to stand (Dagger +1 (1d4/19-20))

The dark cloak proves to be little protection from Celythia's blob of acid, as the man dances in pain.
Kynar strikes swiftly with his curved blade, this time bringing down a veiled man with a slash. It's a solid hit and it looks like that man might never get up again.
The veiled spellcaster casts a spell and ... vanishes. "Throw and go!" the order is in his voice, and Rezak can hear the sound of retreating footsteps to his east.
The 'gamblers' throw their daggers at Torenescu, and three of them puncture him. The old man goes down in a pool of blood.
The 'gamblers' and veiled men retreat as best they can. Three of the now unarmed 'gamblers' leave themselves open to risk of attack as they retreat north, but that gamble pays off as the attacks miss. A couple of the veiled men can only stagger off, including the one Celythia burned with acid. The one in the grease begins trying to crawl away.
ooc: Will anyone attempt to pursue (and if so vs. who / which direction)?
Will there be any stabilization attempts?
