Cold Truths (part 1: The Missing Duke)

[Argent Silvermage]

Ignoring the rest of the party Tyler presses his atack. "Beast you have the stink of evil on you. It is my sacred duty to see you vanish from the face of this world."
Sensing Gerard behind him he says "There are more in the stables. Take them out!" This is the first time the companions have ever seen anything close to bodily warmth in Tyer. He has stopped shaking and the determination in his voice is a powerful thing indeed.

In an extreme moment of indecision, Uri reshteathes his swords and draws his bow. He thats a step towards Gerard, trying to get an angle on the stable doors.

Hearing mention of more creatures, Swipe readies himself for a sneak attack, waiting to see who or what comes out of the stables.

===============================

OOC: Swipe is supposed to be on the other side of the creature (north of it, hiding behind the building), on your map you have me on the same side as the rest of the group.

OOC: Oh. I apparently missed the part where you circled 'round the back of the building. Sorry. so more like this map?

 

[Lazlow]

OOC: No prob

OOC: Well, I was hoping to hear from Gerard/Ferrix but I guess not... Here comes Round 2:

Swipe, seeing the creature step back towards him, readies to strike at the thing if needed while, at the same time, keeping a keen eye out towards the stables.

Aleran seems confusd as to what to make of this turn of events and stays where he is.

Uri quickly stores his shortswords in their sheaths and, moving to the near opening of the stable, draws his bow [sblock] There are two creatures at the far end of the stable, they both look similar to the first which Tyler is now facing. Both are wearing the leather armor, one carrying a halfspear and the other a nasty-looking axe. They are standing over a third form that you cannot see well because of the hay on the floor.
One of the two sees you come to the end of the stables, quickly pulls a dagger, reaches down and makes a slashing motion a the third form. The dagger comes back to it's sheath heavy with blood. The other heads out of the Stables towards Gerard and Tyler.[/sblock]

Woden, Still recovering from the shock of the viciousness of Tylers' attack on the creature he now faces, stands slack-jawed. Skaris peers expectantly up at you.

Tyler takes a moment to Direct Gerard to the Stables and then Stabs at the thing in front of him but is not able to get through the now-set defenses. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see another of these things coming out of the Stables towards you.

Gerard seems confused. Help Tyler, help the thing he faces, go off to the stables as directed, or what? What to do?

The creature, now set, Fends off Tylers' jabs and is able to return one of its' own, making a stab towards tylers' less-protected legs an is able to find a crease in the armor, burying the point deep into Tylers' leg, the point coming back dripping with his blood. "You bleed, man-thing. like others. We see if you die like others, too." The thing taunts with an evil-sounding chuckle.

 

[taitzu52]

"Damn it, they've got prisoners!", shouts Uri, as he looses a shot at the creature with the axe. He then runs over to Wooden's side to set up another shot on the creature leaving the stall.

(OOC- Longbow +5 1d8+1 x3/Prc {within 60'} on one of them in the stall, not #2, hopefully the one with the axe)

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"Wounds heal hellbeast. Death does not!" Tyler says trying to bluff past the pain. He slashes again at the monster.

 

[Mimic]

Having Tyler die would probably make this mission harder and that wouldn't be good. Not to mention the fact that if Tyler dies, he and the rest of the group would probably be next to go is definately not a good thing.

Aleran gets his crossbow and prepares to shoot at the second creature coming from the stables.

 

[Lazlow]

Swipe sneaks up and plants his shortsword deep into the back of the creature that hit Tyler (+2 to hit, 1d4+1+1d6 sneak attack dmg). He'll position himself so he's flanking the beast with Tyler.
