Dragon Mountain - Twin Forks

[Snowtiger]

Argon: "Man, I'm getting too old for this sh*t." He hides in plain sight (ooc: 19 roll + 64 hide) and goes out the back way, moving silently (ooc: 14 roll + 34 MS) as he does. Argon plans to hit them from behind as soon as he circles around. He looks for a nice tree to climb (posessing good field of fire on the backs of the miscreants).

 

[Calim]

"Come brothers, have a drink, no need for hostility." Jeff has that gleam in his eye that he is expecting to do his lords work here shortly.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Vanger Thwakiron

"It's a shame really, we just wanted to talk to the fellow. Now we're going to have to brutally cruch his network of lackies then beat the info out of him." Vanger lets out a mornful sigh as he steps up to smash the nearest human with his Warhammmer.

 

[Uriel]

Confused at this sudden turn of events, nonetheless Naglfar smiles ruefully and stands atop the chair, eyeing the Speaking Man. < Suggestion> 'Friends, are we not all here to relax and unwind? Let not the doings and misunderstandings of these young ladies cause us to ruin an otherwise fine time. Here, let me buy the House a round.' <Diplomacy is +18 as well>

Naglfar digs into his pockets pullinh out a small bag of Gold, tossing it to the barkeep. <18GP should buy a lot of beer, I would think>. To Maeghane Naglfar says emphatically 'M'Luv, let that girl be, if you please, I was just about to tell you a story...'

 

[GoldenEagle]

In the bar there is a tension that hangs in the air. No one has drawn weapons yet it can be felt by everyone. Argent flashes a toothy grin and musters charisma that few have ever seen (natural 20+23 diplomacy) while asking his new friend to have a drink. In most normal cases anyone would have submitted to that smile…but this isn’t any normal man. He moves to eye the pixie and you can see the holy symbol of St. Cuthbert on his chest underneath the dirty cloak. He backs down only after Meaghane dusts the bar maid’s lapels and quietly apologizes. A man from behind the holy warrior speaks softly, "Perhaps Sir Ovulous, this group is not to be.."

"SHUSH Yokum, I will decide who needs new manors!"

At this point Naglfar chimes in with promise of Entertainment and Ale seem to lighten the mood.

"Yes" Ovulous says, seeing the coin fly to the barkeep. " A round for my men and I’ll keep my eye on the fey…and the gnome." He seems to consciously make no reference to Jeffery…It comes across as a minor slight!


At Lothar’s Place…

Rino comments that he see’s no reason to put down his weapons as The Goon Squad moves slowly to surround the party outside the front of Lothar’s house. Without words, Vangar lays into the nearest oppressor (15+/7+ ) and Pandemonium reigns. It seems as if the group was moving in concert and they knew what to expect. Two people lunge at each of the party (with the exception being totem). A couple of them seem to be looking around a bit confused just as a lightning bolt tears from between two people right at Vanger! (Successful save for 15 points) Brigand 1 Grabs for Vanger

The Brigand Leader looks to Vanger as he swats at Totem (AT Hits, Dam 18) and moves to engage Vanger. "Now I gottsa to kill ya’s."

Vanger swings (full attack action) at brigand 1 and stikes 3 wicked blows for crit, reg, reg.

[Someone]

Telustiel pronounces two arcane sillabes and dissapears from under the brigands holding him. The surprised men look around but see no traces of the warrior we had so firmly held...

[Cast Dimension Door while grappled. Since it has only a V component, it can be cast while grappled or even pinned with a Concentration roll of 24: skill 19+roll of 12=31, no problem. I appear at about 100 feet, behind one of the village´s houses. Since I was grappled, this action replaces the previous casting of Haste and Polymorph.

In the next turn, still hidden, Telustiel casts Haste, Improved Invisibility, and moves towards the melee while bracing shield(now at 70 feet of the melee, give or take)

Stats:
AC: 27
HP: 94
Saves: Fort +15 Ref +11 Will +16]

Edit: Added stats]

 

[DM_Matt]

In human form i cast Stoneskin myself (DR 10/+5, 150mins or 150dmg) and Master Air (L2, Fly 90 (good, 15 rounds), turning into an Ironmaw as a wildshape, followed by Transport Via Plants to get right near the battle, and on that same round a move action to fly into combat. When I arrive (the third round), I set myself up in the air, too high for the baddies to reach, but in such a place where any step forward towards the rest of the party provokes an AoO from me with my 60 feet reach, and high enough in the air that I can dangle opponents helplessly from my tendrils.

Description: Rimathil, having just sprouted bat wings, grows taller and his body bulges out and hardens. His legs are replaced with a tangle of roots, his arms divide into four enormous tendrils, and his hair grows into branches with greenish-red leaves. His wings grow proportionally. Soon, he resemble a giant oak tree with a face on the trunk and bat wings. I sneer with my huge toothy maw, then taunt "I am but the first of the reenforcements. Surrender now or we will crush you!" (free action to talk)

(Stats w/buffs: Huge Plant, Str 34, Dex 10, AC: 32, hp 142, DR 10/+5, Attacks: 4 tendrils+Bite, reach 60' @ +22/+22/+22/+22/+20, DMG: Tendrils: 2d6+11+Sicken (-1d6 Con, DC 22) + Attaches (DC 28 to break free, otherwise dmg and can be brought 10 feet closer as a free action) + Wounding 3 cumulative. Bite: 1d8+5. Also: Engulf: fits 2 medium creatures, AOO OR save, once inside, they must hold their breath or suffocate, and take tendril 2d6+11/round)


OOC: I keep an eye out for spellcasters. They are my highest priority to use AOOs on.

 

[Rino]

Rino tries to slip from the grip of his attacker (escape artist: 25), if succesfull he tumbles away (tumble:+25, to 12-10 on the map)

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Argent Says to his friends, There is some sort of trouble at Lothar's. Totem is sending panic signals. I have to go. He grabs Naglfar and jumps on the carpet and if off like a shot.

 

[Uriel]

Naglfar yells to Meaghane 'Come on, Luv, there's trouble afoot!' even as he plays a little run on his Violin <Roll 13+32= 45 Perform>.
The Pixie turns Invisible and holds onto Naglfar's waist as the Carpet takes off.
