CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

[Rhun]

Moathouse, Upper Level

”Drat, Deren says we're going to have two more visitors very soon, lets wrap this up quick" pointing his hand at the wounded Bugbear between Thomas and Zirat, a ray of fire bursts from his finger towards the hairy beast. The bugbear roars in pain as its hair begins to flame, and the creature falls to the floor in a smoldering pile.

The closest gnoll slashes his axe at Zirat, but the big warrior (perhaps sensing the presence of the creature behind him) sidesteps the attack.

"Surrender miscreants!" Sir Merrick, seeing the last bugbear fall, slashes his glaive at the next closest target, maneuvering as needed and as he can trying to position himself to be in the way of the oncoming reinforcements where he can intercept them with his polearm. He brings the glaive down on the gnoll attacking Zirat, and splits the beast’s head in twain.

Aeron surveys the scene, and then moves into the fray and stoutly attacks the gnoll before him with his mace. Unfortunately, in his excitement to attack, his fierce swing misses his opponent.

A second gnoll, seeing Merrick drop his companion, moves wide around the knight’s reach to engage Zirat. The gnoll slashes at him with its axe, but the former arena champion easily dodges the clumsy attack.

Thomas steps over the smoldering bugbear corpse to attack the same gnoll as Aeron, his sword slashing a minor wound across its shoulder.

Two more gnolls charge in from the south, their weapons and shield at the ready. They move toward the first target they see: Zirat! One of them moves too near Sir Merrick, though, and receives a frightful wound across the chest for his ignorance. The pair slash their axes at Zirat, and his metal armor once again proves its worth by deflecting both weapons.

Having no shortage of dangerous foes surrounding him, Zirat tries to slam his spiked chain into one creature's torso. ”Take this furry rat out off my back!” he shouts, slashing a serious wound into one of the gnolls’ flesh.

The last two gnolls attack, one against Aeron and the other against Thomas. A quick series of blows and parries are exchanged, and the opponents square off, with neither the cleric or the warrior suffering any harm.

Jinx moves into the entryway, chanting arcane words and making gestures as he moves.

From out of the archway on the northwest side of the room comes a bugbear charging toward you, and on his heels is what can only be an ogre! The brute stands at least two feet taller than his hairy goblinoid companion, and carries a club larger than any of you! The bugbears shouts to you as he nears: ”You will pay for your intrusion. The Master will see that you are sacrificed for your desecration!”

The dice are with you…you guys are making mincemeat of my cunningly laid trap! Also, please note that my description may not take place in your actual initiative order…I kind of describe things as they seem to make best sense.

Moathouse, Dungeon Level

Deren quietly begins to follow his enemies up the stairs, as they do not return at his call.

`

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Heel I say doggie, Heel !!
Zirat taunts the gnoll in front of him (G3) and swings his spiked chain in intention to break the creature's left waist

MW Spiked Chain [attack:+7, Dmg:2d4+3, crit x2, 10 lb., two-handed, piercing]
ooc: you forgot to include my AoO in the last round, spiked chain has 10 ft. reach.

 

[Voadam]

Sir Merrick moves to strike down the wounded gnoll (G4) like an avenging angel "Have at thee then varlets!" and then maneuvers to flank if he can do so without provoking AoOs.

ooc Move if necessary Glaive +5 1d10+6 x3 slashing, combat reflexes and 10' reach.

 

[Dichotomy]

"Perhaps these beasts have had enough," Aeron says loudly over the din of battle. The cleric keeps to his course, either healing if needed, or pressing the attack.

 

[Rhun]

Jebediah directs another ray of flame into the battle, aimed at the gnoll before him. The ray scorches the gnoll badly, but it manages to stay on its feet.

Deren arrives at the top of the stairs, and peeks around the corner to make sure that his path back to his companions is safe.

The bugbear rushes in from the north, dodging under Zirat’s spinning chain, and swinging his deadly morningstar at Aeron. The priest catches the weapon on his shield, and the goblinoid growls in frustration.

Sir Merrick moves to strike down the wounded gnoll like an avenging angel. "Have at thee then varlets!" he shouts, his glaive severing the creature’s weapon arm at the shoulder. The mortally wounded gnoll stumbles away and collapses to the ground, shoulder spewing blood.

"Perhaps these beasts have had enough," Aeron says loudly over the din of battle. The cleric keeps to his course, pressing the attack against his foe. The gnoll misses his block, and Aeron’s mace bludgeons the side of the beast’s head, dropping it in a heap.

The two gnolls closest to Zirat continue to focus their attacks upon the champion, one helping the other to try and break through his defenses. Their efforts are futile, though, as the big warrior dances around their attacks.

Thomas moves to help Aeron against the bugbear, but the brute skillfully avoids his slashing sword.

”Heel, I say doggie, heel!” Zirat taunts the gnoll in front of him and swings his spiked chain. The weapon slashes through the air, striking one gnoll across the chest and then continuing on to hit another in the throat, crushing its windpipe.

Jinx draws a dagger and flings it at the gnoll singed by Jebediah, preferring to keep as far from the combatants as possible. The dagger slashes into the gnoll’s throat, and the beast crumbles to the ground.

Then, the hulking brute moves forward after studying the battle, and directs a crushing blow at Jinx. The small gnome realizes his predicament and tries to dodge, but is too slow. The massive club falls heavily, smashing Jinx into a bloody pulp.

[Dichotomy]

"No!" Aeron shouts. The cleric dives to the ground next to Jinx and mutters a quick prayer. But when the Prophet's healing energies bring no response, Aeron's face becomes ashen. In a whispered echo, the cleric repeats, "No..."

[size=-2]OOC: I'm assuming Aeron can't immediately tell Jinx is totally dead. Spontaneously casting cure minor wounds. If Aeron CAN tell, he still screams and vengefully attacks something.[/size]

 

[Dog Moon]

Cautiously, Deren moves down the hall, hoping that the brute and the other aren't waiting for him, though considering they're going towards the battle, he assumes that is unlikely. Gripping daggers in hand, he peers around the corner and grimaces as he sees Jinx's body lying crumpled on the floor.

Deren stops at M6 and whirls a throwing dagger at the hulking brute.

OOC: Throwing Dagger +5 ranged (1d3+3 damage). [The 2nd range increment and thus the -2 penalty is already added in]

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Zirat - Paladin of Kord

Aeron, behind you
Shouts the champion when he sees the Ogre
Merick help him, I'll take care of them
swings his chain low Zirat tries to slam the gnoll's (G3) knees.

MW Spiked Chain [attack:+7, Dmg:2d4+3, crit x2, 10 lb., two-handed, piercing]

 

[Voadam]

Sir Merrick nods in agreement with Zirat and moves to engage the towering ogre, his glaive dripping with the blood of the humanoids. Despite the terror inducing threat of the brute's life crushing blows Merrick unhestitatingly challenges the giant "Servant of Darkness! Your foulness shall not stand!"

ooc Move then Glaive +5 1d10+6 x3 slashing, combat reflexes and 10' reach.
