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

[renau1g]

Pender will follow the advice of the halfling, this time, and allow him to attempt his melee attacks unfettered by the presence of allies.

The human warrior draws his bow in the blink of an eye, and despite its lack of recent use, Pender fires off two shots in rapid succession. With a resounding *Twang* the arrows fly towards their target at the back of the room.

Tyrla eyed the creatures with distaste- even if they had slain agents of the horde, she knew these beasts were evil and unnatural. There could be no alliance with such creatures. "Don't let them bite you, lest you fall victim to their curse," she warned. Then she hurled a bolt of arcane energy at the nearest were-beast...

OOC: Staying near the back (G 13); eldritch blast at nearest creature, +10 touch for 5d6 damage.

 

[SelcSilverhand]

Moving to one side out of the line of fire, Siobhan pulls the bow from her back along with an arrow. Sighting down the shaft she pulls and releases. The arrow glows with a bright golden light as it arcs across the dark cavern. She whispers a prayer to Kord to guide her shot.

They find those that Avril believes are responsible. Wolf-creature or were-creatures. Also known as werewolves. She heeds Warren's call, leaving the powerful halfling to deal with the wolves on his own, while she keeps Mandla beside her to defend her. She then calls forth the destructive fire from nature, pulling a ball of flame into her hands. "Surrender!" she calls to the wolves. "Or you will all die at our hand!"

[SBLOCK=OOC]OOC: Avril commands Mandla to defend her, and the casts Produce Flame, sharing it with Mandla.

Seeing Warren taking care of business, and the others springing into action around him, Larian remains at the back of the party, preparing to use one of his fiery spells should the beast break into the open.

Tyrla 19

Werewolves 18

Warren moves quickly up and releases a powerful flaming assault against the creature doing a great deal of damage and severely singing its flesh. After the blast, the creature is horribly mutilated and for a second seems to look like it's stopped in it's tracks, but beyond the charred fur and singed flesh and open wounds it howls back in a rage at the halfling - still standing and quite angry.

Avril begins to conjure an offensive fire spell, sharing it with Mandla.

Pender draws the bow and fires it into the distance after the rear werewolf, his first arrow connecting with the creatures flesh, but the second missing by a fair bit.

Larian readies his fiery bolts for the werewolves next move.

Tyrla fires a blast over Warren's head, connecting with the powerful creature dealing 14 points of damage. The creature still stands though, even with it's previous wounds and those incurred by Warren.

Siobhan fires her bow into the more distant opponent, also landing a blow for 16 points of damage, the white light of the arrow sparking as it hits its mark.

The werewolf nearest Warren steps closer, apparently unnaffected by the noxious fumes and the barrage unleashed against him. He scores two hits against the halfling, a claw and a bite. They deal 17 and 12 damage.

Larian's readied action triggers against the charging wolf, and he blasts both rays into the wolf that approached. They deal 19 and 14 damage respectively, heavily damaging the wolf.

The more distant monster charges Pender striking hard with his claw and dealing 16 points of damage even through the fighter's armor. It cackles with delight.

Larian's readied action triggers, and he blasts both rays into the wolf that approached. They deal 19 and 14 damage respectively, heavily damaging the wolf.

(I used red to mark the werewolves differently from Warren. The one by Warren looks terrible, about to drop, though it regenerated slightly from it's earlier wounds now. The other werewolf regenerated from pender's arrow and part of Siobhan's arrow, but still has its initially taken damage and the full damage from Larian's scorching ray.)

Warren the halfling, HP 18/47, AC 26, Assassin's Stance

Warren blinks. "Yer STILL ALIVE!?!" he mutters in surprise, as the werewolf, face horribly burnt, rips into the shocked halfling before he recovers. Then Warren snarls "Well ya AIN'T ANYMORE!", sweeping his blade upward once to bring shadows swirling about him, and he disappears as the shadows disperse.

A moment later, his blade pierces the werewolf's belly, and a red-hot sigil burns across the werewolf's chest, exploding in a fireball as Warren, still invisible, rushes over to the other werewolf, reappearring just behind it, flanking with Pender. "Let's finish this one!"

[sblock=ooc]Initiate Cloak of Deception, then Death Mark for an invisible sneak attack with Discipline Focus. Then taking a move action to get behind the other werewolf, flanking with Pender.

29 to hit flat-footed AC. 26 piercing damage and 24 fire damage. Reflex DC 16 halves the fire damage.[/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

Pender smiles as the werewolf enters melee with him, although he grimaces at the terrible slash from the foe.

"You've made a big mistake coming next to me big guy" Pender says, drawing the greatsword with a flourish and swinging it quickly in a defensive swat to try and turn the attention of the wolf to the large weapon, and then follows it up with a viscious downward slash across the midsection of the beast.

Avril - Human Druid - AC 18 - hp 55/55 - Spot +15 - Listen +15
Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 25 - hp 45/45 - Spot +5 - Listen +5


The werewolves closed fast, but the many weeks of battle had hardened this group of warriors and spellcasters so they appeared prepared for most. Warren was devastating, and Avril could only smile as she reminded herself about the halfling's prowess of months back and what he was like now. Larian, too, one of her erstwhile companions was also strong and powerful in his magic these days.

Taking a step past the werewolf, she hurled balls of flame at the beast, even as Mandla tore into the creature with his powerful flaming bite. Fur burned as the two companions aided Pender in bringing down this creature. Part of her wanted to save it, if only so they could get information on what had transpired in the village above.

[SBLOCK=OOC]OOC: Avril takes a 5 ft. step to G10 and hurls two balls of flame at the werewolf. Avril Ranged Touch: +4/-1 (including penalty for ranged attack into melee). Damage: 1d6+5/1d6+5. Avril commands Mandla to attack the same werewolf. Mandla Bite Attack: +10. Damage: 1d6+6+1d6+5. Mandla moves to F10 with a 5 ft. step.

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla smiled grimly as she watched the two werewolves face the devastating attacks from her companions- it looked like her allies were doing far better than the horde's agents. Still, it wouldn't do to get overconfident. With her allies well in control of the main combat, Tyrla turned to watch the passage behind them.

OOC: Keeping watch on the hall behind us, to prevent any unpleasant surprises...
