Die!

Aerda once agains sights down the arrow, backing up slowly as he does so (5' adjustment). When the wolf seems to be most open, he will release. Same action as last.
 

Fendric will swing at the wolf right in front of him:

[Attack: 14 (roll) +1 (str) +1 (bless) = 16; Damage: 2 + 1 = 3]
 


Victus: You connect fully with your greatsword, and the wolf falls at your feet, bleeding profusely from your heavy wound.

Aerda: This arrow sails over the back of the wolf, and glides to a stop across the grassy ground.

Fendric: Your flail finds the wolf's shoulder, knocking it off balance momentarily. It lunges back at you, but once more tastes only Pelor's breath.

(Assuming the obvious actions, to finish things up:)

As another arrow skips past the wolf, Fendric brings down his flail once more -- this time ending the beast. The stench of blood is strong in the air, but Aerda has the feeling that things are safe for the time being.

(Experience! For this encounter and cumulative rp/storyness:

Aerda: 500
Fendric: 500
Merrim: 400
Niccolo: 400
Draven/Victus: 1000*


Since Draven and in a sense Victus are later additions, just use this as your current XP total...
Also, I'd appreciate it if everyone would read and respond to the latest post in the OOC Thread... Regarding how you want combats to be handled, mainly.)


As you check each other for wounds -- and realize you've suffered none -- Draven walks from wolf to wolf, mercifully ending the wounded. After his task is done, he speaks up:

"This isn't right. Predators don't fight like this... Not to the death. Not against larger numbers. And not dispersed like that... Not against a group."

He shakes his head. "This just isn't right..."

Fendric falls to his knees after the last wolf has been dispatched, and with a hand on his holy symbol, casts his eyes skyward:

"Most Holy Shining One, I thank you for your protection in this most recent time of need.

I thank you for bringing us Draven, who helps us with his vast knowledge of the outdoors, and for Aerda and his companion, Victus - two of the staunchest fighters I've ever known.

I thank you for Niccolo and Merrim, who lighten our emotional burdens and wield magic with great skill.

But mostly, I thank you that none of my dear companions has been hurt. In the name of the Sacred Light, that warms our hearts and our bodies, I offer you my humility and gratitude - as it was, so shall it ever be.

I humbly ask, therefore, that you bring the souls of the beasts recently departed to your Righteous Warmth, that they may not rise again for purposes of evil. They know not whom they attack, and their minds *cannot* have been their own.

May the Gods have mercy on them, and on us all."

Fendric rises after his prayer. He seems to glow, ever so slightly, even though the Blessing he cast has long since worn off.

[OOC: Fendric has leveled!]
 

Aerda smiles, looking over at the softly radiant fendric. "It seems your god is pleased." He eaves away the invisible cover in front of himself, and leans up against the tree he was at earlier. He really had the urge to study, he had just then thought of something!

[Aerda leveled. Low level wizards suck :rolleyes: ]
 

"Wow, I hadn't realized travelling between civilized areas was so dangerous. The stories told about heroes and adventurers never seems to mention this sort of stuff." Merrim has a rather large frown on her face.

OOC: Merrim has leveled, 1,200xp cumulative.
 

Victus examined the body of one of the wolves. "If I had held my blade so... and pulled here... Hmm, never thought my instructor would be a dead wolf."

(OOC: Leveled, and picked up the cleave feat. I only mention this because I'll be posting a second set of rolls when I'm attacking for that very reason.)

Victus turns to Fendric, and says "Thank you for your kind words, Fendric."

He then turns to Aerda, and asks, "You're sure the ring warned you? How do we know that it didn't also draw the wolves to us? I'm not saying to be rid of it, just I wish we knew better what it is that we're dealing with."
