B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[HolyMan]

Rezak moves cautiously around the armored men drawing his dagger from behind him as he moves.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Total def AC is now 22
Move: Into a flanking position with Barek - also trying to block any escape if he can (but flanking is more important)[/sblock]

 

[ghostcat]

Caridoc moves through the curtain and is surprised to find that not only is there a fight going on but also that he is a zone of silence. After quickly reviewing his spells, he decides that he doesn't have anything applicable to the current situation. Instead he unbinds and draws his morningstar and moves in to attack.

[sblock=Actions]Move Action: Move through curtain and up to the melee. If he can identify the cleric who cast the silence ,he will move to attack him.
Standard Action: Draw morningstar[/sblock]

 

[kinem]

Celythia's acid dart strikes the red-haired spellcaster, burning him, but he stays on his feet.

Mario comes through the curtained doorway, and quick as a flash, his dagger is in his hand. He stabs the weapon at the startled red-head, wounding him further.

One of Mario's men comes in right next to him, but he doesn't have his leader's quickness, and only has time to draw his own dagger.

The red-headed man, suddenly in dire straits as a fight he thought would be a two-on-two affair has quickly turned into something very different, somehow creates a single mirror image of himself. They shuffle and it's quickly impossible to say which is the real one. At the same time, he swings his mace at Rezak, but misses. He curses, silently.

The swordsman who struck Rezak before likewise swings at him but misses.

[jkason]

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek realizes that Rezak's zeal to distract their opponents has put him between them, having to guard both flanks. The bard adjusts the grip on his greataxe, it's blade still faintly glowing, then growls silently as he swings past the swordsman's defenses to bury his axe blade deep in the man's belly.

OOC: Unless this guy has an AC of 23, Barek just did 26 damage (even if he does, an 8 isn't too shabby for a bard, either).

 

[kinem]

Barek strikes a mighty blow for bardic respect as his axe strikes a vulnerable spot below the enemy swordman's chain shirt. The man slumps silently to the ground and begins to bleed out.

 

[Rhun]

Celythia maintains her spot in the doorway, hand raised, tracking the red-headed man. Yet, she holds her fire, hoping that he would see the futility of the situation and throw down his weapon.


Ready Action: Acid Dart vrs. Red-head if he should attack or flee. Ranged TOUCH +4 for 1d6+2/x2.

[ghostcat]

Caridoc reluctantly gives up his chance of taking a swipe at Red and moves to stabilise the swordsman. Even if it means that Red get a free hit on him. After what happened to Kynar he certainly doesn't want anyone else to die.

Moving to the prone swordsman, Caridoc applies first aid.

[sblock=Actions]Take 10 on heal (+9) for 10[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

Rezak takes a swipe at the red headed caster. But his depression that it isn't the red haired *astard they have been pursuing makes the swing easy to dodge.

 

[kinem]

The red-haired spellcaster swings at Caridoc as the gnome passes him, but misses.

Caridoc manages to press on the swordman's wound and stem the bleeding.

The red-head tries to smash Rezak with his mace, but fails to get past the rogue's armor.

Cursing silently again, the man drops his mace and holds his hands up.

Mario and his men wait to see what happens next. The ones behind him turn and say something to the sailors.

ooc: Just one more round until the silence ends, as the spell has been nerfed in Pathfinder compared to 3.5. PCs to act.

 

[ghostcat]

Caridoc trusts the others to take care of "Red". So keeps working on the swordsman until the silence dissipates. He then asks Berak for the healing rod and uses it on the swordsman before handing it back to him.
