Constables of the 14th Ward Part 3

[Scotley]

OOC: Tau, as Maxwell Smart would say, "Missed it by that much."

 

[Rhun]

Darius?

 

[Leif]

OOC: It's been four days since Scotley actually named Dairus in a post seeking character actions, and he probably waited a day or two before he did that. Hmmm, we gots to have our Darius, but we also gots to keep thangs a-movin' 'round here. (xedr's last post was: 18th April 2009, 09:52 PM.) Tell you what, how about if we give xedr until (to be totally arbitrary) 2:30 pm, cdt on Saturday in which to post. Darius is subject to being npc'd for one round then, if he hasn't aready acted. (Light a fire under our boy, Lou!)

 

[Rhun]

OOC: You know me, I'm a big fan on NPCing the PCs if their lack of posting is slowing up the game.

 

[Leif]

OOC: You know me, I'm a big fan on NPCing the PCs if their lack of posting is slowing up the game.

OOC: Oh, really? Then I'm surprised that you have't done that to Trevor more than, I think, once or twice. And, I can't really say whether xedr's absence is slowing up the game much or not, because what happens next is probably going to come from the mind of The Scotley One, and I don't know how detailed his next plans are. Hmmm, mayhap I sould find out about that juicy info?

 

[xedr]

OOC: You know me, I'm a big fan on NPCing the PCs if their lack of posting is slowing up the game.

Yeah, me too. If Darius doesn't get his ass moving soon, I say somebody else should push him around and let xedr suffer the consequences. :^) (I won't mind - really! It's just a game and we're all here to have some fun.)

[Ahem] Darius decides to burn the barn before proceeding further north. He lights a torch and approaches the huge hole in the wall left by Soulfetter's previous visit. Darius will toss the torch on a pile of hay if one is available, or if not, he will break an oil flask on the wall and light it.

 

[Scotley]

Initiative Order:
Tau 25
Braz 21
Alarion 21
Thea 18
Raul 15
Soulfetter 15
Darius 10
Brae 9
Orcrats 3

Tau fires again, but at the other Orcrat. The horse's movement makes the shot less precise than the first one. It does come close enough to scare the poor blighter though.

Braz keeps flying invisibly towards the barn to try to cut off any escape or attempt to signal other orcrats by these sentries.

Alarion lowers his lance and charges across the pond, thrusting at the bell-ringing orcrat as soon as he comes into view. His lance strikes a deadly blow to the Orcrat in the boat and silences the bell after a final clatter to the floor of the boat.

Thea continued to follow Darius around the other side of the barn, keeping watch for whatever might respond to the alarm bell.

Raul follows Soulfetter and reloads his light crossbow.

SoulFetter continues his relentless advance as he sends another arrow streaking through the air toward the Orcrat, again hitting his target squarely. This Orcrat too is slain and falls to the stonework with a final groan.

Darius decides to burn the barn before proceeding further north. Backtracking, he lights a torch and approaches the huge hole in the wall left by Soulfetter's previous visit.

[sblock=Darius]That's all you've got time for this round. Lighting the fire will have to wait until next time.[/sblock]

Brae jinks around the edge of the barn and runs full out toward the orcrats, but his movement is slowed considerably by his heavy armor. Still, he treads over the water just like it is land, which most certainly is an improvement over how fast he would swim.

Spot checks for Braz, Thea, Alarion (at -2) and Tau please.

 

[KerlanRayne]

Tau is embroiled in analyzing his actions in the recent fight, trying to improve on his abilities and avoid repeating mistakes.

OOC: Spot Check (1d20+0=4)

 

[Fenris]

Spot checks for Braz, Thea, Alarion (at -2) and Tau please.

Braz's keen eyes sweep the surrounding area, not missing anything.

ooc: 1d20+11=30
woot!

OOC: Spot roll for Thea; 1d20+4= 19; roll Roll Lookup
