Deep Water and Shoals - A Swashbuckling Campaign

[kenjib]

Vemuz creeps forward with axe in hand.

1. If the elf threatens to fire, and he is close enough, he will charge and grapple the elf to the ground.

2. If the elf threatens to fire, and he is not close enough to charge, he will throw his axe.

3. Preferably, if he can get close enough he'll slip the axe blade under the elf's throat and call out quietly "hold still or I'll slit your throat you filthy whoreson beast of an elf."

 

[Reiter]

Gawddamn

Reiter tips his hat over, tilting his head with it, contemplating the impression of movement. He leans away from his earthly recliner, then shrugs. It would have been nice to see something interesting in these stinkin' woods. Of course, his hand was getting pretty interesting also, whoa.

 

[Bob Aberton]

Vemuz,

The elf, after a moment, nocks an arrow, but keeps his bow pointed towards the ground. Still watching Malthas, his back is toward you.

He is only 20, perhaps 25 feet away from you.

(OOC: Move Silently and Hide checks, please...)

Malachi,

You spot a brief flurry of movement among the trees, but hear nothing.

Nicodemus,

You hear a rustle in the underbrush, silenced almost as soon as it began. However, you see nothing.

 

[kenjib]

hide: 18 + 2 = 20
move silently: 16 + 2 = 18

lucky rolls!

Vemuz creeps forward, in an unusually stealthy manner for such a large man. As he tries to close the distance he watches for the bow to raise and aim. If it does, he will charge and grapple. Otherwise, he will continue with plan #3.

 

[Tonguez]

Snarling at the movement in the bushes Malachi's muscles become tense and he grips his half spear close. Casting about for a better look at what might be there.

He checks to see where the others are in relation to himself and steps forward towards the movement ready to call Calypsos Bane down upon any hidden foe

 

[Uriel]

Nico sends his thoughts to his familiar, and high overhead, a little howler Monkey scampers unseen amongst branches (after depositing his hat and vesy in the bough of a branch), to get a better look at whatever made the noise in the brush...

 

[Bob Aberton]

Vemuz,

The elf, still intent on watching Malthas and Malachi, fails to notice you.

That is, until he feels the edge of your blade at his throat. He stiffens and rolls his eyes fearfully in your direction.

Nicodemus,

As Artimus disappears out of sight amongst the branches, you hear a chattering in your mind;

...pointy-ears, number one paw and one finger...six paws-worth of man-feet from you...

Malachi,

(OOC: Does this mean you cast Bane now, or you have a readied action to cast it?)

 

[dead_radish]

OOC: sorry - been busy.

Spot of 3+0 (woo) and listen of 18+2=20 (woo!).

 

[kenjib]

Vemuz,

The elf, still intent on watching Malthas and Malachi, fails to notice you.

That is, until he feels the edge of your blade at his throat. He stiffens and rolls his eyes fearfully in your direction.

Vemuz hisses forcefully, but quietly: "Quiet you, or I slit your throat! How many of you?" Vemuz grabs him by the collar to provide a nice counter-pressure to the axe blade pressing against his throat on the other side of his neck.

 

[Uriel]

OoC:Er, I think that meant that he saw elves, the Captain (Number One paw?) and one finger= a crewman..or I'm wrong.

IC: Nico prepares to cast Magic Missile if he spots any enemies, moving forward slowly towards the disturbance.
