Logan the Stopper

Logan still waits for clear shot and watches the situation warily. When Dogrynn bolts he finaly has something to do.

Logan takes one look at fleeing warrior considering should he let him go. He considers current situation and in the end decides to stop him as it could be bad for all of them if either mage or orc focus on outside influences instead on each other.

Deciding took only an instant and as canine fighter bolts past him he intones:
"Stani-pasji-ratniče-s-velikim-mačem"

Inertial surge reverse on Dogrynn (1d20+4=22)

Golden runes swirl around sibbeccai warrior stopping him in his tracks.

[sblock=OOC]
1: Logan will concetrate on holding the effect for one more round hopefuly allowing the warrior time to recover from his fear.

2: waiting full round for crossbow shot, this is for the round after because effect of the fear will become apparent at Dogrynn init which is 1.

I'll change the post if situation changes

Logan holds his position for the moment, crossbow trained on the cloud mage.

Anton sees Dogrynn move towards the exit and considers whether that is the wisest course or whether he needs to deal with the obviously insane orc.

Justin views the scene:

Scarbelly is fighting two vaguely humanoid smoke clouds.

Anton and the dog-man Dogrynn are barring the exit. Dogrynn is beset by two smoke clouds as well.

Anton fits the description of one of the people Brother Egil sent you to help as did Wilbur. Dogrynn is the easiest match with his sibbecai dog race, cutlass and scale armor jump out at you. You don't see the young woman Egil mentioned though.

One smoke cloud floats over one of the booths. A youth is near this cloud shouting at it and the orc for calm but it looks to be a futile plea.

A man with a crossbow is two booths down trying to get a bead on the lone cloud but the youth blocks his line of fire.

A man in the poisoned booth has slumped down in the booth.

The barkeep is cowering behind his bar.

The barmaid is nowhere to be seen.

Delaying action

[sblock=OOC misunderstanding] What I meant is that Logan waits this round to shoot and stops Dogrynn as he comes next on initiative, not drop his own init to one. Unless it goes back to 14 again next round? I'm not totaly familiar with waiting rules, but I believe once you delay you delay for the rest of the encounter.

Maybe little bit of meta-game thinking, but Logan waits full round. Dogrynn won't come far as he has to go through most of the Inn and through the cloud at the door.

Justin will return to the latrine.

"Okay, friend, either you jump down and swim through the... Woah!... Or we find another way to get you out of here! Things are getting bad!"

The bard will check the walls - if they're out of wood, maybe one can break them.

"I, in you place would swallow... my pride and dive into the :):):):), friend!"
 

"Get yer carcass out here Bindi! Stop playing around in there and let's bump up your kill numbers with Kenzil himself afore he gets away!" roars the orc loudly enough to carry into the latrine.

When her appeal for sanity fails, Arcata directs another surge of colors onto the gaseous form of the mage (Color Spray, DC 14) and breaks off, trying to get to the door. She was almost out of magic.

Inwardly she screams in frustration at the fiasco. They'd had such a good plan! Now it was all ruined, and they were no closer than when they'd...

...well, maybe a LITTLE closer. The conversation between Kenzil and Scarbelly had been interesting.

She clung to that faint hope as she tried to disengage. Maybe something useful could be salvaged.
 

When her appeal for sanity fails, Arcata directs another surge of colors onto the gaseous form of the mage. But when the brilliant burst of colors washes over the dark cloud being and it responds with a sinister hiss directed at her she maneuvers towards the door, holding just back of the two clouds batterin on Dogrynn.

With a great sweeping arc of his wicked axe Scarbelly slices completely through the first wounded cloud and continues on into the second, tearing the "skin" off of both and releasing the noxious smoke clouds to dissipate without cohesive form. "My mama said, cut your way to the heart of your problems son! If your problems still there then hack harder!" His hood thrown back the hulking green-skinned brute has a big grin on his tusked face as he takes a step towards the mage's cloud form.

Meanwhile in the lavatory Justin takes as much of a running start as he can and slams his body shoulder first into the cheap plaster and wood wall to the street. He strikes with more force than he knew he was capable of and breaks through!

Wilbur greatfully stumbles out through the makeshift opening.

Dogrynn turns and runs, the clouds chilling command having terrified him to his bones.

Logan lowers his crossbow and calls out words of power once again. Reality seems to shift around Dogrynn and golden runes spring forth under his feet. As fast as he tries to desperately get away he can make no further progress down the street.

The cloud mage gestures and the two clouds turn from their pursuit of Dogrynn to engage the green-skinned orc. They fly swiftly to pummel him with blasts of smoky substance but his grin grows wider as he takes the blows to his midsection without apparent injury. "They won't stop me long, wizard! You'll be ripped to shreds like a torn sail in a storm in a moment Kenzil! Then its ten thousand devils screaming for your soul in Hell!"

The cloud mage delays no longer and flies like a screaming banshee out the door. Scarbelly whirls his axe and slices a long line in the wizard's form as it passes. Smoke trails out behind the cloud form like a vaporous blood trail as it streaks out the door past Anton and into the night.

Anton[sblock]the cloud form provokes an attack of opportunity from you as it passes, do you take it?[/sblock]

Still confused about who's side he should be on, Anton allows the cloud mage to pass by unmolested. If the mage is a potential ally, then Anton will have gained a small token of gratitude form it. If the Orc is a potential ally, then Anton can claim the mage stunned him to in order to escape.
