Classic 3.0

[Mithreander]

The paladin and fighter stay with the princess, who though odviously frightened, holds her chin high as the attack occurs around her.

The orcs hurl themselves at the elf, and manage a nasty scratch to one of her thighs. The ogre (for it becomes appearant that this is exactly what the creature is) finishes the hole it had started in the back wall of the barn and steps into the lighted interior, right past the roguish dwarf, who takes the opertunity to place his steel in the creatures bulk causing it to scream in pain.

Behind the ogre, two small cat like creatures also cream into the lighted area, but imediately head to the more welcoming shadows (though the characters can still see them as long as they keep their eyes on them).

 

[Verbatim]

As his blade sank deep into the ogre's flesh, Veitus wasted no time, pulling the blade out and trying to strike again before the creature could turn to face him.

OOC: OMG!!! My first backstab!!!..

 

[kirinke]

"Now, that's not nice!" Aenilan growls as she slashes the orc with her sword and at the same time, attacks it with her dagger.

 

[Mithreander]

Aenilan's blades find their mark and bring one of the orcs down! She quickly jumps back froma nasty swing from the remaining orc.

Veitus, seeing the giant turn towards him, smiles as the clumsy creature telivises his attack, and the dwarf calmly rolls between it's legs, carving a gash into the ogres hamstring as he passed, causing the creature to stumble and calapse to one knee.

Mean while, the fighter and paladin, keeping the Princess behind them, keep an eye on the small cats as the move in their direction, tenticles waving menicingly in front of them as they advance.

 

[Jemal]

(What happened with my Sling bullet attack on the Orc?)

 

[deadestdai]

Once the walls caved in and the ogre clambered through, Brechin stood ready next to Jonathan, his shield on his arm and sword ready to hack at the displacer beasts.
Stay near the Princess, If you see an opening, run. These two ugly kit's are mine. He told the older man, and advanced to meet the nearest cat, stance widened so he could hopefully draw them both toward his person and away from the girl.

 

[kirinke]

OOC *Whoa, she survived! Yay favored enemy!

Aenilan turns her attention to the remaining orc, with a fairly grumpy look on her face as she begins to attack it with her sword and dagger....

(OOC: i read in another thread, that one DM was giving the players the option of buying, being rewarded with or finding a masterwork weapon, then having it magicked in various ways once they earn enough money, like first permanently blessing it, thereby recieving a +1 bonus etc. That way, the weapons would mean more to the character etc, though finding magical weapons or lifting them off your enemies corpse is fun too )

 

[Verbatim]

Not wishing to slow his advantage any, Veitus seeks any openings he can find on the ogre, as he knows that with one solid hit from the brute's club, he could be done for.

OOC: Remind me to pray at the dice alter later tonight...please don't let me get turned into paste now, as my new clan name may be Veitus Ogrebane..

 

[Mithreander]

Veitus dodges another blow from the ogre, do to the training he had fighting giant-kin that worked in his favor once more. He retaliated with a swing that drew blood, but did not even faze the ogre.

Meanwhile, the elven ranger finishes off the orc, who was still distracted from the sling stone that nearly hit him from the previous round. Aenilan's sword finds its mark and allows for her dagger to find the creatures heart. She turns to the rest of the combatants to see where she can help the most.

THe fighter and paladin both take turns swipping at the small cats as they came at them with tenticles leading. Unfortunately, like the paladin had suspected, they where not exactly where they should be, and their attacks miss their mark.

Tha cats retaliate, but fail to do more then rip the paladins tunic.

 

[kirinke]

Aenilan decides that the best course of action is to help the dwarf, who seems to be a bit overwhelmed, being careful of the great-club the giant is weilding.
