Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Helfdan]

Alarion: Hp 53/53 (65), constitution 11/14

"Thank you once more, good Brae, for Holy Meda's blessing." Alarion's wounds heal, and he recovers most of his former vitality. He cleanses his blade of the greenish-black troll blood before resheathing it, then nods sagely at Raoul's words. "Your open-hand attacks tenderized our foes most effectively, my good friend. Alas, it was the lady Amalthea's cooking that did not do them justice." He offers a courtly bow to Thea, mostly to hide a huge grin.

He then turns serious. "The brigands ahead must have heard this skirmish. We should move onwards quickly."

 

[Leif]

Just as Alarion says this, an arrow comes streaking from the direction of Harcourt's Mill, proper (just about 150 yards away from where the constables are now), and strikes him in the leg for 2 hp of damage. Longbow shot at Alarion from orc archer watching the constables from the Mill. (1d20+8=23, 1d8=2)

And Raul notes some rude "steps" affixed to a tree here. Presumably, this is where the Forest Trolls were when they began flinging javelins?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

SoulFetter (AC: 19; HP 50/50)

"A Constable's work is never done, it seems. I thank you for your prayers, Brae.

We need to return to this spot and search the bodies, but for now if no one objects I think I'll see if this axe is as useful to me as it was to its late owner."

The Urgant moves toward the mill, stooping quickly and taking up the axe so recently wielded by Frick.

 

[Rhun]

Brae sighs and moves after Soulfetter, taking care to rush from tree to tree, using cover to avoid getting shot.

 

[Scotley]

[sblock=Mowgli]The axe feels good in your hands. This isn't something made by an orc or a troll. It is obviously of fine craftsmanship and magical to boot.

OOC: You can add +2 on to hit and damage rolls though further exploration may reveal an additional power as well. It is a size large great axe.[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=Scotley/Leif]Thank you, kind sirs! SoulFetter will keep his senses tuned to the axe as he uses it in an effort to determine other 'powers' (though he doesn't really have any special senses, of course).[/sblock]

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion: Hp 51/53 (65), constitution 11/14

Alarion raises his shield, readies a javelin of his own, and moves forward behind Soulfetter, seeking the closest target.

 

[Lou]

Ederaul Mamier AC 19 HP 31/35 (41) 10/12 CON

Just as Alarion says this, an arrow comes streaking from the direction of Harcourt's Mill, proper (just about 150 yards away from where the constables are now), and strikes him in the leg for 2 hp of damage. Longbow shot at Alarion from orc archer watching the constables from the Mill. (1d20+8=23, 1d8=2)

And Raul notes some rude "steps" affixed to a tree here. Presumably, this is where the Forest Trolls were when they began flinging javelins?

Raul stops to carefully study the the location of the steps in relation to the burned bodies, so he can climb the trees and look around up top later, before moving on after the others. Since all movement is hampered by the muck, Raul will reload his crossbow as he moves, looking for the bowman.

OOC: Raul's base move is 50, he should have no trouble catching up to Soulfetter.

OOC: So noted. Raul's glance up the tree does reveal some sort of cloth object near a fork in the trunk of the tree that seems to have formed a natural kind of lookout spot. | Moving on and reloading, Raul does not immediately see a bowman, but he judges that the arrow came from a fair height in the direction of the mill, and he sees a large window there that has an excellent view of the constables' chosen course to the mill.

[sblock= OOC for Scotley]You're up anytime now, dude! Please?[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: Raul's base move is 50, he should have no trouble catching up to Soulfetter.

[sblock=Raul]He should be able to catch up, but SoulFetter's move is 40 so he's actually a bit faster than anyone but Raul.[/sblock]
