Interrupted Slumber

OOC: Thanks!

[sblock=For Skáth Only]No exterior windows to the dorm room, sorry.

Skáth follows the group into the church, taking care to stay tucked up into the shadows of the ceilings. Once he gets closer, he is able to make out more details of the group he is following.

There are two males, led by a female. The female is small - about 5' tall and very slender. She is wearing bracers and a helmet, along with a cloak. Her visible skin is a light gray and seems almost luminescent, and the hair escaping from under her helmet is an icy blue. From Skáth's position above and behind, no faces are visible. She carries a spiked chain about 5' long in both hands. The males appear to be armored in leather, and carry broadswords unsheathed. Their coloring is similar to the females.

They are moving swiftly, pausing only slightly at each intersection before choosing a direction.

At the second intersection the group comes to they surprise one of the resident acolytes who was apparantly having trouble sleeping and is wandering the halls. With the swiftness of thought, one of the males draws a long knife and slashes the acolyte's throat as they pass. The group has rounded the corner before the unfortunate young man has finished collapsing, his dying breath whistling softly from the gaping wound in his neck.

At their current speed, the group will be at the Críu's door in two phases. You are close enough that a shouted warning would reach Cyr's ears, since he's watching from the hallway outside the door.[/sblock]

Skáth throws a knife at the trailing member of the group and at his head if he has no amour there. He will simultaneously will shout as loud as he can, "TROUBLE!!!"

[Neurotic]

Cyr Escunar

Cyr would prefer bed 101.

Night being his normal element, Cyr has no problem remaining awake, thinking back on his life, on changes of his person, of Gler and The Queen.

When he hears the shout he opens the door of the room with a bang and stands just outside with his staff across the body blocking the corridor until his companions can get ready. He concentrates ready to pacify any and all attackers that come into view.

[sblock=For GM]
Cyr could be shocked out by Gler in combat, you decide whether this happens.

IF there is enough time he will raise his armor, otherwise he concetrates on Granting of Peace.

Would increasing speed of his companions enable them to dress faster? Or is it only movement?

Oh, yes, Gler should also have some kind of night vision

OOC:

I'll resolve Skáth's attack ASAP (hopefully this evening) then we'll get everyone else into the action. Consider yourselves awakened and preparing for action - though each of you is somewhat groggy still and you have no idea how long you have to prepare (NOT LONG).

Cairn MacSidhe

OOC: Cairn jumps up from his bed, leaps into his britches to restrain his ponderous tool, and grabs his axes. Then he tries to keep his eyes open as he waits for something else to happen.

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Gavril leaps out of bed in his silk pajamas. He straps on his swordbelt and pulls his crossbow from under the bed. Dropping a bolt into the weapon he asks, "what news Cyr?"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=For Skáth]The tiny dagger passes harmlessly by the gray skinned man's head, ruffling his hair on its way to a clattering impact with the stone wall beyond. The tiny dart reappears in its bandolier sheathe even as the third invader spins to confront this newly perceived threat. The other two continue around the corner, where'll they'll encounter Cyr and the rest of the Críu.[/sblock]

[sblock=For Críu (not Skáth)]The door to the dorm room crashes open, Cyr standing just outside with his quarterstaff barring entrance. The four Bairdéir inside wake from slumber and leap to their feet at the noise.

Cairn quickly slips into his breeches and picks up his axes from their place beside his bed.

Gavril, in his silks, slips on his swordbelt and arms his crossbow.

Dílis rises quickly and takes up her blades, her jet black hair flowing is disarray.

Béar, on his feet a moment before the rest (OOC: Lightsleep Talent) and dressed smallclothes only, grabs his mighty mace Thanatos and is moving toward the door as . . .

Cyr cries out as he's knocked back through the doorway by the charge of a slender gray skinned man wielding a broadsword. He, the gray skinned one, and a lightly armored female wielding a long spiked chain tumble into the room . . . and the fight begins in earnest.[/sblock]

[sblock=For All]At this point we'll consider both small engagements (Skáth in the hall with one opponent and the rest in the room with two) as one large fight, and resolve actions for all according to SPD and action phases. That puts Skáth first, I think.

Mike, the two males are wearing no head protection, but a head shot is -8 to OCV; that's why Skáth missed. Remember, in HERO armor reduces damage rather than reducing the chance to be hit.[/sblock]

Skáth

to hit (1d6=5, 1d6=6, 1d6=5)

As Skáth sees the man turn, Skáth will again let go with another dagger and prepare to flee.

OOC - Mike, how high is the ceiling and what is this guy weilding?

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Surprised by the speed with which the enemy broke Cyr's defense, Gavil leaps back onto his bed and fires (1d6=2, 1d6=3, 1d6=3) the crossbow at the spiked chain weilding woman. He drops the weapon onto the bed and reaches for his blades.

OOC: athletics check if needed (1d6=4, 1d6=6, 1d6=1)

Carin MacSidhe

Cairn goes to work swinging at the foe immeidately in front of him with his deadly axes, but misses this time. (Evidently he is still groggy from sleep?)
