B6: The Veiled Society - IC

As she sees her companions moving to engage the man, Celythia delays. She didn't want to catch a bolt, so instead she would wait for her companions to melee with the assailant.


OOC: Delay or do nothing this round.

Seeing Barek and Caridoc heading his way, the hooded crossbow shooter withdraws around the corner (to the west).

ooc: PCs to act
 

[sblock=OOC] Hey that's where Rezak is. Can I set an ambush or if he is headed in the opposite direction can I reach him this round. Will run if Rezak has to. [/sblock]
 

Caridoc has no choice but to continue to run toward the corner where the attacker disappeared.

[sblock=OOC]Double move: 4*20' = 80'

This should get him to the corner and 10' down the road.[/sblock]

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek's song falls away as he sighs. "Fine. It's a chase, then. So I'll get a little faster than I ought to be," the half-orc says. He pulls a bit of fleece from his belt pouch and blows it off his palm. As if caught by a heavy gust of wind, the fleece flies forward, spreading into a spiderlike web in a roughly humanoid shape, then finally filling in to take on the appearance of Barek himself (only now bearing the greataxe Barek himself still has bound) as it lands just ahead of the corner the assassin ran round. As Barek moves forward, his double clears the corner, 'looking' down the alley.

[sblock=OOC]Ending bardic performance, casting Silent Image. Trying to place it such that the assassin won't see it forming but rather have it look like Barek managed to a surge of speed to round the corner. Mostly hoping to goad him into firing again so he either has to stop to reload or go without ranged weaponry.

The spell's a standard action, so go ahead and take his move action to get 30' closer to where the assassin's retreating.[/sblock]

Peering around the corner, and seeing the crossbowman withdraw before her companions' charge, Celythia quickly follows after the rest of the group.
 

OOC: As I should have noted, it's best not to post IC after a placeholder post until the update. The placeholder is there because my update could change the situation for you.


As Caridoc passes the corner, three arrows whistle in quick succession, as the hooded men with shortbows have been waiting for this. One arrow gets past the gnome's chainmail, causing a minor wound. (ooc: 6 damage)

The original crossbowman has begun fleeing to the north.

Meanwhile, Rezak is sneaking around the block. The building near the shooters is wider than the rest of the buildings on the street he's taking, and he can't see what's going on yet.

ooc: Barek and Celythia see Caridoc get shot, and may change thier posted actions for the round.
 

Celythia moves down the alley toward Caridoc, keeping up against the side of the building and making the best use of cover that she can.
