Black Spine: Adventures under a Dark Sun

[Paxus Asclepius]

OOC: To clarify, Garak is still mounted on Kejo.

I was a bit hesitant before posting that last action - I didn't want to jump ahead of Tailspinner and WW. Tailspinner was online just two days ago, Wynter Wolf today, but neither seem to have posted. How long should we give them to make an action, before we just go ahead without them?

I'm going to give them until I wake up tomorrow morning, roughly 8:30-10:30 Pacific Time. That's probably longer than I ought, two and a half days since the first post indicating combat, but it's early in the game yet. If they haven't posted, I'll NPC them until they show up.

Arriha: Aarakocra Air Cleric 1 / Nomad 9 PP's:60

Arriha was upset that her prey was starting to distance her. She keep an eye out for approaching trouble and chased after the gith. As she neared him she took a shot with her bow.

OOC: Fly 120' with move action. Fire bow, +14 to hit (1d8 +1d6 Cold +1d4 Psionic +1) using psionic shot.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Arriha's arrow flies straight into the gith's back in midjump; he staggers, but does not fall.

Seven gith charge Garak on his inix mount, and the earth cleric countercharges. Garak is struck by two hurled javelins, another pair missing him widely. Kejo is stabbed once, while biting most of the offender's arm off.

One of the gith goes flying wildly as Uden appears behind them. The flung gith does not rise, and appears to have been twisted rather out of shape by the impacts.

OOC: Garak takes 13 damage. Kejo took 10. Grykee has not acted yet this turn, nor have Ristu or Ursus.

 

[humble minion]

OOC: Garak will make a Ride check to attempt to negate the hit on Kejo (Mounted Combat feat). Did Garak hit with his lance, and is Kejo's opponent down? And do any of the gith appear to be affected by Garak's fear aura (from his armour)?

Grykee AC:13 PP:82

Grykee advances, following Garak. Upon spotting the Gith she manifests Fate Link and Greater Dominate. She is surrounded by the smell of incense and the mental buzz of an angry crowd.

She shout a command in Gith:

Spoiler

Surrender! Your lives will be spared!

OCC: The Fate Link (DC +14) is targeted on two 'uninjured' Gith in melee with Garak, the GDominate (DC + 16) at the one with the horn (using Schism). If I can't see the horn blower, then another 'uninjured' Gith.

Arriha: Aarakocra Air Cleric 1 / Nomad 9 PP's:57

Arriha was pleased that her archery skills had not diminished. She frowned slightly that the gith continued to run. The others may need her, she had no more time to waste on the straggler.

OOC: If the gith is within two range increments, Arriha will full attack, Fire bow (3 times rapid shot and acceleration), +12 to hit (1d8 +1d6 Cold +1d4 Psionic +1) using psionic shot (spent the 3 points). Otherwise she will close and fire once again.

Garak is unable to prevent the arrow from striking, nor does his lance find its target. While badly mauled, Kejo's opponent still stands, and while shaken by his attack, the gith do not flee.

Grykee notes that her Fate Link has failed, but the Dominate is successful.

Ursus run up, closing swiftly on the gith; Gree-lok and Ristu close, but stay out of melee.

Arriha's next arrow easily drops her target, and she returns to close the range with the other gith.

 

[humble minion]

Beset by gith at close quarters, Garak drops his lance, and snatches up his flail. Swinging its heavy spiked iron head around once to gain momentum, he roars in fury, stands up in the saddle, and aims a mighty downward blow at one of the unhurt gith.

OOC: Garak rages, drops his lance as a free action, uses a move action to pick up his flail, and makes a single attack using 2 points of Power Attack. Attack bonus +15 (13 +3 divine favour, +1 mounted bonus, -2 Power Attack) for 1d10+6 +3 (divine favour) +4 (Power Attack) points of damage. Kejo continues to attack the wounded gith, regardless of whether he successfully used Improved Grab on it last round.

Lifehearth Ristu : Female Pterran Druid 11

Ristu moves her hands in odd motions while speaking words of power (Righteous Might). As she completes the action she grows to double her normal size. Her armor and possessions follow suit. Standing a full nine and a half feet tall, she draws her now large size scimitar and prepares to advance on the nearest gith.

OOC: Sorry for the delay in posting.

Arriha: Aarakocra Air Cleric 1 / Nomad 9 PP's:59

Arriha watched the arrow pierce the gith with a satisfying thunk, then turned to assist her comrades. She kept her eyes open for any other dangers or any other gith stragglers as she approached.

OOC: Arriha will continue to close. If, after a single move action she is within range to again attack with her bow she will assist Garak with a well-placed shot [Fire bow, +14 to hit (1d8 +1d6 Cold +1) NO psionic shot].
