(Casual D&D II) The Fellowship of the White Dove

[dpdx]

Fendric decides that healing Raven every time he gets hit is like fighting to stop the tide; flail hand still on his holy symbol, he casts at D this time. After he finishes the spell, he takes 5' step to Y12 and attempts to distract B at X11.

[Hold Person on D; D makes Will save DC 16 or is magically held; maximum 4 rounds; D may attempt to save each round to break the effect.]

 

[Uriel]

OoC: The Hypnotic Pattern lasts until my Initiative, correct.

IC

Niccolo repeats his action, casting(defensively) Cure Light Wounds on Nurthk < 11 HP this time>.

 

[Tonguez]

Darts, Sling shot or Alchemist fire? Orbril stays back behind the action considering what to toss into the combat without causing accidental harm to his companions. He eventually decides to sling some shot at the Orcs still entangled amongst the branches, roots and vines...

This is it. I'm gonna die. I'll see my brother and nephew again. Will they have aged?

Blood streaming over his face, Raven falls on one knee, his eyes unfocused. He draws breath in ragged gasps, as if he's almost drowning.

One more. I'll take one more of them ugly tuskers with me. On your feet.

Then, eyes focusing, he gets up , swinging his twohander upwards in a vicious blow.

"CWDMYR, CWDMYR"

(power attack -2/+2 +18 dmg 13)

(ignore this if the damage doesnt kill the orc)

Using the momentum of his blade, he wirls around, taking the orc behind him by surprise with a horizontal chest-high stroke)

(cleave, power attack +2/-2 +19 dmg 12)

Niccolo: Your magic brings Nurthk back from the edge of trouble, as your last enthralled opponent shakes finally free of the spell's effect.

Orbril: (backtracking for a couple of rounds, estimating attack bonus) You pelt the trapped orcs with your sling, hitting the one with the scythe and the one with the falchion, but missing the husky fellow with the greatsword -- however, your roots, still active, manage to catch his legs just before he steps free of their threat.

Nurthk: Fighting through your wounds with Niccolo's aid, you manage to lay two both ends of your axe into your adversary. He scowls in pain, clearly near death, but the fire in his eyes keeps him standing.

Raven: Likewise, the swing of your sword looks as though it should have dropped your opponent, yet he remains standing afterward, growling wildly.

Fendric: You cast your spell, but the orc seems to take no notice, continuing his assault with seemingly unstoppable vigor.

Nurthk's attacker, appearing to be on his last legs, turns away from the half-orc and steps into one broad downward stroke at Niccolo. (Attack 22, Damage 15) The axeman behind him likewise sends his deep into Shavah's side, wounding Heironeous' soldier severely.

The axeman behind Raven swings a little wildly (Attack 13, Damage 10), but his other opponent turns his attention toward Fendric, stepping in and to the side with two twirls of his double-axe. (Attack 27 Damage 10; Attack 14 Damage 6)

The two heavily-armored orcs in the entanglement fail to break free, but the others are at last successful, moving in toward the field of open battle.

Hiritus takes a moment to consider his options, then steps in behind the orc attacking Niccolo, bringing him down at last with one clean hit. Shavah, wounded and outmatched, backpedals and heads behind the nearby tree.

Oliver stabs into the orc behind Raven: This wound you can bear witness to, for it comes through to the other side, so cleanly that the tip of his sword which protrudes from his enemy's throat still gleams in the morning light.

(Again, back to Niccolo's initiative.)

[Sparky]

A shout. Darkness. Hurried, harried. Lumbering shapes. Flare of spells. Song. Guttural commands. Creaking leather. Clashing blades. Hot. Blood.

Oliver blinks coming out of a fugue as the warm rush flows over his sword hand. Reek. Blood? Hellsfire! Orcs! He snatches his blade free as the battle's cacophony crashes in on him. His eyes go wide and he readies himself for another attack. Raven... A cough threatens at the back of his throat and the old man barks in his throat trying to thwart it as he looks wildly around.

"They're after the healers!" cries Nurthk.

The far orc takes Raven across his chest and the big man staggers dropping to a knee. Fendric mutters something and his words impact the far orc. Raven rallies and swings his massive sword in a wide upwards arc - ragged battle cry sounding dangerously wet. I'd be dead if - Dammit! Oliver backpedals as orc blood sprays across his face and Raven swings again. "Gah!"

With a spinning attack the far orc lays into Fendric and slashes the young man twice, horribly. Wiping his bloodied face across his sleeve, Oliver makes a vicious attack of his own, panting as he yanks the blade free of the slumping orc. Glancing warily at the gleaming greatsword of the orc at the edge of the wriththing undergrowth, Oliver sighs inwardly as the roots and vines grab again.


If you can drop a weapon and draw while moving:
Dropping one of his swords, Oliver tumbles past the double headed axe wielding ... This one's pig biting mad. We gotta get out of here. ... orc and pulls a knife. He sends it flipping and flashing towards the orc's back. He hisses at Fendric, "We gotta get outta here!"

AC: 13

Attack/Damage/Bonus: 17, 1, +10

If not:
Oliver eyes the orcs coming out of the tangle of brush and shakes his head, he moves in next to Fendric and makes feints and stabs at the growling orc who - against everything right in the world - is still standing. Low and urgent he says, "We gotta get outta here!"

AC: 13

Attack: Aid Another - +2 to Fendric's AC.

 

[dpdx]

Fendric: Init 1; HP 23/33; AC 18

[Beat a DC 16 Will save, huh?]

Fendric, more than a little surprised that his spell failed to still the axeman, and still more surprised that the axeman's first blow then penetrated his armor, wheels back around in anger to strike the assailant with his flail. "Back to the Hells with you, miscreant! You have struck your last blow for evil!"

Hp 2/36 Ac 17

With a big hacking cough, Raven musters his strength, lunging with his greatsword.

attack +16, 10 dmg

(if that kills the orc : cleave +15 dmg 12)

 

[Festy_Dog]

Nurthk, injured but intent, and seeing no other live orcs closer, moves to flank Hiritus' opponent.

"Cuthbert take you!" he yells in his gutteral native tongue.

He hefts one end of the double axe over his head with both hands, and brings it down onto the orc's shoulder with bone shattering force.

[ooc: power attack -3]

attack (d20+8) 24, damage 17

 

[Guilt Puppy]

(Note for Fendric and Oliver -- by your initiatives, Raven will have already slain your designated target. If you want to change your actions, go for it; otherwise I'll have Fendric on a readied action to attack the first orc to come near him... Now that Sparky's back -- and welcome back! by the way -- I'll be pausing the action after Shavah, so Oliver can respond based on what the orcs have done during their bit.)
