(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom [IC]

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla, warlock 5; HP 30/30; AC 19

Tyrla had been distracted by something- perhaps too long a lingering glance at the nearly ruined shack outside the keep. The first sounds of combat reached her ears, dragging her back to more important matters- like the battle that lay ahead. She tried to make some sense of what was going on, then began to move, ready to unleash an arcane bolt at anything that might threaten them...

OOC: [sblock]If nothing else has shown up by her turn, she'll move into the keep through the main entrance, following Larian to N 14. If something else has presented itself, or if the manticore has managed to get in the air, she single move to P 12 (just beside the door) and unleash an eldritch blast at the visible target. Priority list is: enemy caster-types, manticore, enemy archers, enemy melee types. 3d6 damage (+1 inside 30 feet), ranged touch +7 (+8 total at 30 feet or less)[/sblock]

Initiatives
Warren 17
Larian 16
Manticore 12
Avril 9
Tyrla 7
Siobhan 5
Gurguannin 4

Warren: Warren strikes against he Manticore a second time dealing another 12 points of damage.

Larian:

Manticore: The manticore finally acts, taking a 5 foot step away from Warren. The creature lets out a visceral howl and whips its tail of spikes at Warren, launching 6 jagged spikes. Most of them are poorly aimed (1, 1, 2, 4, 5 rolled) but one stikes its mark dealing 8 points of damag.e

Avril: Avril moves and fires, dealing 9 fire damage. (I adjusted your move slightly since the manticore moved.) Scarlets attack, however, fails to hit.

Tyrla: You move into position.

I'll stop there for now. Next update will be at midnight tomorrow. I'm hoping Gurg and Siobhan can give me thier actions before then.

Gurguannin finally loses the battle to withhold his rage and succumbs to the battlemadness. With a bloodcurling howl he charges.

 

[Creamsteak]

Siobhan will move to N13. Gurgannan makes his raging charge from above on the manticore. He lands a hit for 10 points of damage.

The sounds of loud wolves barking comes from the northern building, then everyone hears some curses spoken in goblin coming from the same area.

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 22/33, AC 23, Island of Blades stance

Warren moves closer after the manticore backs away, approaching to stab at its face with his blade...... With the aid of his menacing shadows, he attempts to pierce the monster's eyes or nostrils and strike at the brain. He tries to hit hard while focusing his mind for a moment on the sturdy ground and rocks beneath him. "Let's take this overgrown pincushion down! Then we can deal with whatever's making those other noises!"

[sblock=Attack]Taking a 5-foot step to P-17, and attacking with his Stone Bones maneuver. Thanks to Island of Blades and his allies threatening the manticore, he gets the benefits of flanking and sneak attack.

Warren's strike with the short sword is made at a total bonus of +12, for 1d4+5+1d6 damage. If he hits, Warren also gains Damage Reduction 5/adamantine for 1 round from Stone Bones.

Remaining maneuvers ready are Cloak of Deception and Mighty Throw.[/sblock]

 

[Creamsteak]

Warrens attack hits, droping the manticore.

 

[Redclaw]

Well done, my friends, but our battle is not yet completed. Something stirs in the northern building! Larain hisses toward the Manticore's building. Tyrla, take cover. Something's going to burst out of there any second. Larian heeds his own advice and takes moves behind one of the rocks between him and the noises.
[sblock=ooc] Move to N:12, still holding wand of magic missile.[/sblock]

"The loudest sounds may not be our only foes," Tyrla replied as Larian made his move. Once the elven wizard had stepped up Tyrla moved to the space he had vacated, her own gaze fixed on the opening in the wall to the southwest- she trusted her other companions would help attend to whatever was making all that noise.

OOC: Once Larian has moved, Tyrla will take a 5-foot step to M 14, keeping an eye on the opening at J 16-17. If anything appears before her turn, fire an eldritch blast when her initiative comes up, +7 ranged touch, 3d6 damage (both +1 under 30 feet). If nothing has appeared, ready action to attack anything that shows up later.

 

[DrZombie]

Through the red mists Gurguannin hears sounds. Wolves. Goblins. Enemies.
He moves towards the sounds and attacks

 

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 20 - hp 36/36 - Spot +11 - Listen +11
Scarlet - Riding Dog - AC 26 - hp 30/30 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

The manticore fell and before the great beast had even stopped breathing, Avril sprinted back towards the door. "Let's regroup outside and quickly," she said, conscious of the sounds coming from the courtyard. What awaited them there was still to be seen, but the knot of nerves in her stomach kept her adrenaline high. "Come, Scarlet!" she commanded, bringing the dog towards her.

She stopped just outside the doorway that had led to the manticore and surveyed the scene around her, hoping to spot some enemies. Bringing Scarlet to the front of her, she commanded the dog to defend her while she hurled balls of flame at any creature that came close to her.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Avril moves to P12, and hurls a flame from her hand at any enemies she can see when she gets there (Produce Flame +7 ranged touch, Damage: 1d6+5). Scarlet moves to O12, and defends Avril (Handle Animal +12 vs DC 10).
