Constables of the 14th Ward Part 3

[Rhun]

OOC: If Raul goes down it'll be deja vu all over again!

OOC: A scythe? Bear claws? They are fairly similar!

This is what the withdraw action is for.

Feeling the claws of the bear dig deeply into his flesh, Raul retreats back up the stairs outside the door to be a rear guard and reload his crossbow.

SoulFetter catches a glimpse of his fellow constables' blood misting in the air and knows he has to move quickly. Roaring himself to attract the bear's attention, he strides across the room, shouldering his way between Tau and Brae and drawing his other throwing axe as he closes. The axe whistles as it cleaves the air in a vicious arc just in front of the bear's whiffling nose.

Unable to reach the badly injured Raul, Brae steps forward and touches the back of Alarion, sending Meda's healing warmth into the knight's body. As the man's wounds heal, he looks to Raul and shouts at the monk. "Get out of there! I can't get to you."

Tau casts Cloud of Bewilderment on the lead bear. It roars and places one paw on top of its head and the other over its stomach. Its eyes roll back in its head for an instant and then it leans forward with a groan and an impossibly loud retching sound. Soulfetter, Alarion and Brae and drenched with bear vomit. A disturbing mixture of berries, mushrooms, fish and bile stains them all a bluish purple color and and leaves them in danger of nausea themselves from the vile smell. The roots and lichen continue to wriggle at the other bear, but they are no match for his massive strength.

The alchemist's fire tossed earlier gutters out on the damp floors. Those orcs who can see laugh uproariously at the vomit stained Constables before returning to their attacks. One continues to work the cranks on the ballista, another fires an arrow at Darius but misses. The axe wielding guard holds his position next to the shaman, but only glares at Darius rather than advancing. The shaman uses his wand again, but the blind guard next to him bumps his elbow the magic only leaves a patch of dark ice on the wall next to Darius' head.

OOC: Thea and Alarion are up!

 

[KerlanRayne]

Tau can't suppress the grimace of disgust, nor the snort of derision at the situation.

 

[pathfinderq1]

With a disgusted grimace, Thea scampered even further away from the torrent of bear vomit- even orcrats were preferable to that. She made her way around the machinery, perilously close to the blinded orcrats, then sang out another incantation...

OOC: Move diagonally to F5, G5, H5, diagonal to I6, I7 (30 feet total); cast Whelming Blast (PHB II, pg. 128); 30 foot cone, angling to catch orcs 4, 7, 8, 9 (I think that is all I can get); Will save DC 16, or take 2d6 nonlethal damage. With her Unsettling Enchantment feat, all targets (whether they save or not), take a -2 penalty to attacks and AC for 1 round. It isn't much, but better than I can do against the bears...

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion somehow mantains his dignity whilst covered with ursine vomitus, but wisely keeps his mouth shut. He simply continues attacking the beast with his sword.

With a disgusted grimace, Thea scampered even further away from the torrent of bear vomit- even orcrats were preferable to that. She made her way around the machinery, perilously close to the blinded orcrats, then sang out another incantation. One of the blinded orcs doubles over in pain while the rest just look unsettled.

Alarion somehow mantains his dignity whilst covered with ursine vomitus, but wisely keeps his mouth shut. He simply continues attacking the beast with his sword. He gets in one good blow on the sickened bear.

Braz grunts in pain as the bear tears into his flesh. "Ok bear, the greenies can wait I guess." he says as he backs down the hall a but out of the bears reach and fires two bolts at close range into the bear that bit him, each slamming home. The bear roars in pain and fury and begins thrashing about trying to put out the fires starting in its fur.

Neither bear manages to mount an attack as they are both in distress.

Hearing the bears roaring behind him, Darius flubs two shots at the shaman, but turns and nails bear #2 in the ass. "Yoohoo! Yogi! over here you big sissy!" he taunts.


OOC: Will Saves (1d20=16, 1d20=1, 1d20=18, 1d20+5=17)

SoulFetter

SoulFetter drops his throwing axe behind him and quickly pulls out his massive Great Axe, turning the drawing motion into a two handed swing at the bear in front of him. The axe impacts the bear's side with a meaty thud.


To Hit (1d20+12=19)
Damage (3d6+10=20)

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Is there anyway I can get a status of each PC's health? I really need to know who requires healing.

 

[Leif]

Here are the ones I know of:

Braz = 37/55
Raul = 4/36
Alarion = at least -26 -9 (thanks, Rhun)

That should keep you busy for a round or two.

 

[Rhun]

Here are the ones I know of:

Braz = 37/55
Raul = 4/36
Alarion = at least -26

OOC:Thanks, but Alarion should only be -9; Brae healed him of 17 points last round, per post #399.
