Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter Two

[jkason]

[sblock=Nonlethal]Let's keep Byn shrouded for now, trying to draw fire with the dancing light spell, and hold off attacking until next round.[/sblock]

 

[unleashed]

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric (HP 27/30; AC 18)

“Indeed,” Keryth responds softly, as he shuffles cautiously out into the fog he’s created, trying to be as quiet as possible as he moves towards the men.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Byntrou, Keryth:

With a mighty surge Bahruul rushes forward out of the cloud as has at the archer before he can load another shot. In a single swipe of the sword the archer finds himself badly cut and lying upon the ground in an unconscious state.

Both of the guards, who learned from the archer's mistake at firing at Byntrou's bluff, draw their weapons and approach Bahruul's position. Bahruul is able to fend off one of the mighty swings but the other catches him off-guard and hits him solidly.

Destiny steps out of the mist at a safe distance and unleashes a burst of energy immediately behind both of the guards. Each of the guards succomb to the mild shock of cold air from behind them. One of them (#1) looks as if he has been stunned by the energetic assault.

Keryth moves up behind Bahruul and heals him with a cure light wounds spell.

Byntrou, roguishly sorcerous barbarian

Both of the guards, who learned from the archer's mistake at firing at Byntrou's bluff, draw their weapons and approach Bahruul's position. Bahruul is able to fend off one of the mighty swings but the other catches him off-guard and hits him solidly.

Destiny steps out of the mist at a safe distance and unleashes a burst of energy immediately behind both of the guards. Each of the guards succomb to the mild shock of cold air from behind them. One of them (#1) looks as if he has been stunned by the energetic assault.

Though he knows the bluff is over, Byntrou sets the glowing figure to randomly dart about in the mist, hoping that any reinforcements might be drawn to it rather than his flesh and blood group.

Stepping around Bahruul, Byn slashes out with his scimitar, looking for a tender spot but finding none currently exposed.

[sblock=OOC]Move to the square just below Bahruul and attack Guard 2 with scimitar.[/sblock]

Eion turn to Varius well, we are not going to play bodygaurd anymore, so we have to find some other means to stay busy and possible get some money in our pockets. we could steal from people but I dont like that at all or we can seek out some grand adventure. personaly I'm going for the second option.

Eion and Varius:

[Sblock=OOC]Assuming that neither of you guys responded to the waiter, a bit more OOC chatter and your lunch will be ready.[/Sblock]

Keryth, Byntrou:

[Sblock=OOC jkason]If by below you mean downscreen from Bahruul, than space is unoccupiable - if that's even a word! The dashes in a diagram represent walls or other immvable objects - in this case the side of the mountain. Instead, I had Byntrou move up to the spot above Bahruul. If this is not acceptable, let me know and I'll rewrite.[/Sblock]

Byntrou slides up and swipes at the fighter, but his scimitar bounces off of the fighter's armor without doing any damage. In spite of the miss, the fighter is certainly capable of being hit.

Keryth is able to step up behind Bahruul and heal his wounds a bit.

[Sblock=Keryth]Keryth heals for 13 if I did the math right. 7 + 4 (Caster Level) + 2 (Augmented Healing)[/Sblock]

Bahruul attempts to return the strike, but the fighter parries his blow quite effectively. The guard who isn't stuned strikes out against Bahruul and hits for a solid blow, reopening many of the wounds that Keryth had just healed.

Destiny focuses on the fighter who is not stunned and says, "Have a glimpse of your own death!" The fighter winces, but does not go down.

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric (HP 27/30; AC 18)

Keryth skirts around the combat as he brings his morningstar to hand, before stepping in to strike.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Keryth will move two squares straight up, one up and left, one left, and one down and left (30 feet, which is his current movement) and strike at #1 (flanking with Bahruul). Unless someone takes #1 out, in which case he’ll cut the first movement (two squares straight up) to one square straight up and strike #2.

Yes, your calculations for the healing were right, but I did post (spontaneous cure light wounds 1d8+6) with my previous post, so calculations weren’t exactly required. [/SBLOCK]

"Eion, stealing is a terrible thing. However, the spoils of war on the other hand......." begins Varius with a mischievious grin.

"So, you remember that group of orcs that attacked us by the forest and the ogres that assaulted us at the ford? We beat them off. As you and I both know, not all caravans come back. The goods in those lost caravans are somewhere. I say we backtrack the caravan trail and then strike out to find where these beasts store their ill-goten-goods."

[sblock=OOC]Sorry about misreading the map. The move Byn took is fine.[/sblock]

Byn swears under his breath at his miss, but carries on. Realizing he might be open to both guards attacking in their current position, he shifts slightly as he swings his scimitar.

[sblock=OOC]5' adjust upscreen, then scimitar attack again.[/sblock]
