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

[Creamsteak]

Initiatives - Round 1
Siobhan 21
Tyrla 16
Pender 15
Worg Riders & Worgs 15
Avril 13
Larian 11
Hellhound 7
Warren 7

Siobhan attacks the nearby worg, dealing 10 damage.

Tyrla fires a blast at visible rider at R6, but surprisingly misses.

Pender fires his longbow at the farther off rider, but misses twice. The arrow that lands deals 11 damage.

The rider in melee with Siobhan forces his mount to withdraw, attempting to get some range.

The rider at R6 fires on Larian twice, hitting both times. The damage dealt is 2 and 1. Larian passes one saving throw, but fails the other. The venom deals 11 points of hit point damage to the Wizard. The worg does not move.

The Worg in melee with Warren makes a bite attack, but misses.

Larian's fireball deals 41 damage on his previous action. Both the rider and worg fail their saves and are dropped. He retrieves his potion.

Avril's heal helps Larian for 8. Mandla moves as noted.

Warren makes his surprise attack against the worg, confirming two critical strikes in addition to all of the modifiers. It dies. A lot.

The Hellhound breaks cover and moves a bit closer.

Warren the halfling, HP 35/39, AC 24, Child of Shadow, Haste

Turning around from the blood-fountaining corpse of the worg and its rider, Warren quickly notices that a worg is running away, and he shouts "Shoot the runner! Don't let them report back!" As he's shouting, Warren sprints over to one of the other worgs, within reach, ready to attack in a moment. And as he moves, the halfling twists shadows about him in a concealing cloak, hiding some of his features.


(ooc: double-move with Haste to space S-7, but with the terrain I don't think Warren can charge and attack it this round instead. Stance change to Child of Shadow for 20% miss chance. Also, Warren would've informed the group previously that he carries some alchemical antitoxin for emergencies, should Larian want to get it from him.)

[sblock=OoC]How does being held affected a rider? If Siobhan casts hold person on the escaping worg rider, does the rider stay on mounted or fall down?[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Larain groans in pain as the arrow's poison burns into his system. He grimaces as he sees a worg and its rider making an escape, knowing that he has to stop them before he worries about his pain. Larian hurls a small pinch of sulphur and bat guano, igniting it into a rolling ball of fire with the word Incendio! The fireball flies unerringly toward the fleeing creatures and explodes right on top of them.

He then quickly reaches into his pack and removes a small metal vial.

[sblock=ooc] Okay, Larian won't cast Bull's Strength on Pender. Instead he'll cast fireball (8d6 damage, reflex save DC 17 for half) centered on D1, then use his move action to retrieve a potion of CMW. He'll also take a 5' step to J14.[/sblock]

Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 23 - hp 57/57 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

Goblin arrows fly around, some of them unfortunately hitting Larian standing behind her. She briefly glanced back to see how hurt he is, and sees her friend struggling. She scans the battlefield quickly once more before commanding Mandla to intercept the arriving hellhound. With her faithful new companion raging into battle, she turns her attention to Larian. "Let me heal those a little for you," she says in terse and anxious voice, before letting Nature's healing power flow into Larian.

[SBLOCK=OOC]

Avril commands Mandla to attack the hellhound. Mandla double moves to N3. Handle Animal +13 vs. DC 10. Avril stops concentrating on her spell, readies her shield and casts Cure Light Wounds on Larian, healing 1d8+5 hp.

[sblock=OOC]I think that if the rider is held, he can't act, but the worg can carry him wherever he goes (albeit that he will fail any ride checks that come up).[/sblock]

 

[Creamsteak]

Larian's fireball deals 41 damage on his previous action. Both the rider and worg fail their saves and are dropped. He retrieves his potion.

Avril's heal helps Larian for 8. Mandla moves as noted.

I'll update momentarily.



Updated, but not the map.

 

[Dalamar]

"Fight, you coward! Your back is an easier target!"
Siobhan drops her hammer and makes a mental note to pick it up as soon as the fighting is over. Wading through the undergrowth, she moves after escaping rider. In one smooth motion she draws the holy bow and fires an arrow at the goblin.
[sblock=OoC]Move to H-6, drawing the bow at the same time, and then shoot at the worg rider in D-1

Slightly better possibility of managing to shoot the rider instead of holding it and waiting for the need to a ride check[/sblock]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 18 - hp 39/42 - Spot +12 - Listen +12
Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 23 - hp 57/57 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

Mandla moves as commanded, closing in with the hellhound to the north. No sooner had the dog reached the fiery hound and started the viscious and savage battle of species, did Avril use her hasted speed to move towards her companion's side. Larian, for now, seemed healed and well, and together she was sure she and Mandla could take care of the hellhound. She reached a position to the side of the hellhound, and raised the spear she'd retrieved just seconds earlier. She stabbed out with a powerful thrust, her spear fighting in conjunction with Mandla's raging maw.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Avril commands Mandla to attack the hellhound at N2. Handle Animal +13 vs. DC 10. Mandla Bite Attack: +10. Damage: 1d6+7. Avril draws her short spear as part of her move, and moves to M2. She attacks the hellhound with her spear at N2. Avril spear attack: +8. Damage: 1d6+2.

Actually Larian nuked the rider and worg in D1 during the previous round. I didn't update the map for it yet. For the current round only the hellhound and the rider on the far east end of the map are still standing.
