BLACK CRATER

[Mahiro Satsu]

Roll in to H5, strike the ogre.

Artemus, check the wounded! Mage's mine!

Declare dodge verse Mage, Activate wings.

 

[Tom Cashel]

Loudripper slides between the ogre's ribs--it lets out a keening whine and is visibly staggered...but still standing!

The leathery wings flap overhead, and a light streaks down into your midst--WHOOMMPH!! Flames erupt around Bear, Dalabrac, and both ogres.

The wounded ogre collapses, dead and smoking. The other shrieks "Wizard!! Traitor!!!" but is still standing.

[Bear and Dalabrac, send me Reflex saves.]

 

[Van Dyksun]

OOC: Maybe I'm not following things quite right here, Matt, but did Faraquar go at the end of the first round and then once again right after Dalabrac went? Did he mount the leathery wings thing as well? How'd he do all that? Or is the heat of battle just getting to me?

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

OOC: I would just like to point out that because of you people, I walk around all day, everyday with a copy of my character sheet in my back pocket. I hope you are happy.

It's the "heat" of battle. Faraugar goes right after Dalabrac. First he told you all to surrender (move-equivalent action) and then readied an action (burn the prisoners if you keep attacking). As soon as you attacked...BLAM! Then a free action to call his mount (which had a readied action to come if called).

Then a new round.

After Dalabrac, Faraugar flies overhead (move) and blasts you all.

 

[Tom Cashel]

Flames erupt around the both of you. Dalabrac, you dance with the shadows and avoid all ill effects. Bear, you feel the flames scorch you terribly...which vexes you terribly (19 pts. dmg.). Above you hear Faraugar shout "Surrender Enthandas!" The air is filled with the scent of burning flesh and hair.

Your turn, Bear.

 

[Van Dyksun]

"You want this, wad?" I hold up the claw with Enthandas and cast an area dispell magic spell centered on Faraugar.

 

[Tom Cashel]

There is no dramatic, or even visible, effect, Bear...but you can hope. Faraugar is still up there in the dark on his winged black horse (You can't actually see him within the range of Darkvision, but you can see him silhouetted against the pale moonlight).

[Technically, it is now Artemus' turn. If he came back last round, he arrives now and can act. If not, he's...elsewhere.]

The ogre (K-8) disengages from melee and moves away, still bellowing "Faraugaaarrrr!!! Traito-o-o-o-rrrr!!!"

 

[Van Dyksun]

for Artemus

OOC: Got a voice mail from Keith, who tried to post but wasn't sure if it worked (and obviously didn't). So I called him back and talked with him and got his move.

Artemus wonders briefly what Dalabrac and Van will be when he reincarnates them.

He casts Protection from Elements on himself, then moves down, stealithly, towards the front wagon containing the prisoners (to within 50 feet).

 

[Tom Cashel]

Thanks for doing the legwork, Van. I'll assume it's FIRE he's protected from.

New round. Dalabrac, back to you.
