CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Legildur]

Kurt sees the shaggy creature and curses quietly to himself, knowing that it can't be friendly. "Got more trouble over here!" he calls out to the others as he once again releases a burst of Sacred Purification to try and keep the others alive. Kurt then adjusts his position (5ft step to AA22) away from the elemental and casts Protection from Evil in anticipation of the impending reinforcements.

"Got more trouble over here!"

Coraine sighs heavily as he pulls himself to his feet again. Knowing that he can't withstand another blow from the earthen brute, he casts around for some other way of defeating it. He remembers the healing potion he carries and pulls it from the pocket of his cloak. Thankfully it's unbroken. Flipping the lid with one hand, he quickly drains the draught. It's blessing brings cool relief to his wounds.

 

[Leif]

A newcomer enters the great Temple of Earth from the northeast; his garb does not seem to indicate that he is a member of the Earth Cult. Dara, now a bit farther away from the thing, and now having felt its powerful fists all by herself - an experience, she didn't quite consider necessary, but that's how things go sometimes - withdraws herself from the threat and looks to get some distance between herself and the earthen juggernaut.

OOC: The newcomer: human, 5'11" tall, fairly lean and muscular (but perhaps slightly thick around the middle) black hair and beard, wearing a mithril shirt and carrying a light steel shield.

When he sees the withdrawing form of Dara approaching his position, he is happy to see someone who looks like she does not belong here. Not fully understanding just what is going on, he says, "May I help? Your friends seem to be able to use another blade..." The newcomer loosens his sword in its sheath as he says this.

 

[Thanee]

Dara

Instinctively, Dara spins around, holding her falchion between herself and the newcomer. For the moment, he seems to be on their side, though. The warrior woman nods to him, saying: “Wherever you came from... but if you can help, we'll gladly accept. Careful, though, this beast delivers quite a punch.”

For now, she remains in position, torn between charging back in or retreating further, though the feeling of her wounds lessening some slowly convinces her to get back into the fight.


OOC: Position is fine, thanks.

[SBLOCK=Dara's description]Dara stands 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 138 pounds. She is 19 years old, has long, honey blonde hair and beautiful grey eyes. Her athletic body is well-trained and in perfect shape, and her skin bears a light tan. Despite her martial training, Dara looks all the woman she is; between her feminine curves, lissom moves and a striking self-confidence she appears very attractive. Dara usually wears only a short fur-trimmed skirt with a light ochre tone and matching soft-leather boots, with a short linen tunic underneath her chain shirt. Most of her arms and legs are left bare, but her lower arms are protected by leather bracers. On her back, she wears a small backpack and the scabbard for her mighty falchion.[/SBLOCK]

Trevor Champlaign, Rogue 2/Fighter 2, AC20, hp30

Being especially careful not to turn his back on the crazy lady with the falchion, Trevor draws his sword and will attempt to fade into the shadows (hide + 11, move silently +11) for a moment before engaging the earthen monster, so that he can start things off with a sneak attack(+1d6 dam). (Normal combat adjustments: +8 to hit, +3 dam)

Round 5 - Complete

Coraine sighs heavily as he pulls himself to his feet again. Knowing that he can't withstand another blow from the earthen brute, he casts around for some other way of defeating it. He remembers the healing potion he carries and pulls it from the pocket of his cloak. Thankfully it's unbroken. Flipping the lid with one hand, he quickly drains the draught. It's blessing brings cool relief to his wounds.


Ragnok bounces back to his feet, as resilient as the stone his people mine. He again pulls a hammer from his bandoleer, and hurls the thing toward the elemental with all his might. The small hammer strikes hard, shattering a stoney formation near the brute's knee.


Being especially careful not to turn his back on the crazy lady with the falchion, Trevor draws his sword and fades into the shadows for a moment, moving toward the earthen monster so that he can start things off with a sneak attack.


For now Dara remains in position, torn between charging back in or retreating further, though the feeling of her wounds lessening some slowly convinces her to get back into the fight.


Verdis stretches out his hand and another bolt of glowing energy flashes through the air, striking the elemental full in the chest. Rock and dirt explode from the beast's form, and it tumbles into pieces, slowly dissolving back into the ground from whence it came.


Kurt sees the shaggy creature and curses quietly to himself, knowing that it can't be friendly. "Got more trouble over here!" he calls out to the others as he once again releases a burst of Sacred Purification to try and keep the others alive.

Combat Map:

 

[Thanee]

Dara

With the earth elemental out of the way, and her wounds miraculously closed, there is nothing holding Dara back now and she charges around the corner in order to see what trouble Kurt is speaking of.


OOC: Move to AB24. Full Defense, since there is little else to do with the action.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Unable to contain the grin on his face at his success against the elemental, Verdis raises his crossbow and moves in the direction of the new threat.

 

[Leif]

Trevor Champlaign

Trevor will slink up to the door (doing his best to move silently) in the northeast corner of the room where the elemental was defeated (in spite of him ), Trevor will ease through it (still hoping to move silently), heading to the west, and try to catch a glimpse of the new threat, sword in hand.

 

[Legildur]

"Might have been a bugbear," says Kurt, pointing with his bearded chin in the direction of where he say the shaggy creature. "I bet he has gone to get reinforcements."

Not that he has necessarily noticed the newcomer yet, but he would see a solid set man, with a shaved head, square goatee beard, and prominent brow, wearing banded mail and carrying a red-painted round shield that bears the symbol of a winged sword. In his right hand is held a longsword, and a holy symbol of Heironeous hangs around his neck.

"That earth elemental was tougher than what I would expected," he mutters to anyone near enough to hear him. "Must be something to do with this place," he hypothesizes.

"Poor Otto, he never stood a chance against that beast."

ooc: Used 8/9 turn undead attempts to power Sacred Purification: 3 vrs the ghouls, 1 to try and help Otto, and 4 while fighting the earth elemental.
