[D&D 4e] IG's "Those Left Behind, Chapter 4(e)"

Rogash

"We are..." Rogash trails off in mid-sentence and steps forward (to AL25) and smoothly brings out his crossbow and fires. The bolt flies true and strikes the Dire Bear in the chest. "We've gone from seeking breakfast to being breakfast. To arms my friends!"

Rogash's bolt lands true and the bear begins to charge.

OOC: Buurt, go ahead and roll your attack.

Rolls

[Shayuri]

(Ping? Should the rest of us roll too, or wait for these to be resolved? )

 

[industrygothica]

OOC: You can go ahead and roll, but your actions won't take place until after the bear's. It's going to charge Buurt, so assume its in a square adjacent to him. Sorry for the delay again--I've been working tons of overtime, and it's pretty much sucked the motivation right out of me. We'll get there though, I promise.

Buurt moves to put himself between the bear and the old man, and readies a shot.

Rogash steps forward and buts a well-placed bolt into the bear's chest.

The bear howls in pain. As it makes a forward movement, Buurt looses his readied bolt and impales the creature yet again.

Furious, the bear makes toward the closer half-orc. The creature rends at Buurt with both of its massive paws, but the ranger manages to avoid being grabbed completely.

OOC: from the lurker: Go team go!!

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia flings out a hand, and lightning rakes from her fingertips, sluicing over the bear in a popping, sparking frenzy! The bolt strikes with physical force, enough that Buurt can feel a shockwave expanding out from where the unstoppable blast of power met the immovable bear....or tried to. Instead it leapt to the ground, and sprayed sod and grass everywhere!

(Pinning Bolt! Tis versus Reflex. I'm guessing that's not gonna cut it. )

"Well, if he was just sayin' hello, I think he's done now," Shai says with a shake of his head. Realizing there would be no talking the bear down now, he snaps his tongue. Dyspeer rushes forward without hesitation, jaws snapping as Shai surges around the other side. The two act without speaking, each catching the bear's gaze as the other positions himself, and then they strike in concert.
