Surprise Round
The female warforged hops off the ledge and charges at Flawed. "Flesh-loving traitor!" However, her small jump from the ledge onto the bridge causes her to lose her balance, and Flawed easily dodges.
Gannon sheathes his morningstar [No AoO, as Gannon's at a safe distance from the enemy warforged].
Reflexively, Flawed drops his crossbow and throws a massive fist at his attacker [Melee attack, roll of 11 on d20, +1 slam, total 12, miss], which she blocks with her forearm, causing a dull, metallic thud.
Khashana does nothing. Cries of "Murder!" and "Call the Watch!" echo from nearby towers.
After careful observation, Rawhide draws his greataxe, continuing to observe [Ready until the second round, count 9].
Round 1
"How dare you live among humans? After all they've done to us and ours?" The warforged swings her axe at Flawed, but her grip is too loose and the axe flies out of her hands and off the bridge, falling into the city below.
Gannon takes advantage of her momentary confusion to cast
doom, which appears to succeed, and then redraws his morningstar [Duration of
doom: 10 rounds remaining].
Winding up, Flawed throws another punch, catching his adversary in the chin [Melee attack, roll of 17 on d20, +1 slam, total 18, hit; Damage, roll of 2 on 1d4+1, 2 damage]. Although she seems like she ought to be a capable combatant, she's certainly not the most practiced.
Khashana, still unsure of what to do, recalls her experiences at the hands of the quori and lashes out. A low hum is quickly followed by a loud snapping sound, and the female warforged cries out [
Mind thrust; Damage, roll of 9 on 1d10, 9 damage]. She then ducks away from the combat, towards the bushes [3 pp remaining].
Snarling, Rawhide rages and, hefting his greataxe, wades into combat and brings the axe down at the warforged in a heavy, overhand arc [Melee attack, roll of 8 on d20, +5 greataxe, total 13, miss]. The axe hits the stonework of the bridge, tiny sparks flying off of it upon impact.
Plonk, after gathering himself, moves quickly to an advantageous position, opposite to Flawed. As he moves there, he finds himself the focus of a large, round fist, which he ducks under carefully. He then casts
inflict light damage and waits...
Round 2
The female warforged screams (a tinny, grating scream) and launches herself at Flawed, fists out. She connects with a sharp left hook, nearly dropping him [7 damage, Flawed is disabled].
Gannon rushes forward, morningstar out, attempting to reach a spot somewhere on the far side of the raging warforged. Ducking a fist, he slides past Pronk and Rawhide into a space next to the gnome. He then swings his morningstar, bringing its weight into the warforged's side [Melee attack, roll of 15 on d20, +2 morningstar, total 17, hit; Damage, roll of 1 on 1d8+1, total 2]. You can see wood and mental splinter and dent.
Flawed starts to cast a
repair light damage spell on himself, but catches a one of her feet in his midsection [2 damage, Flawed is at -2 and inert]. He falls to the ground. "Traitor!," she screams, "You get what you deserve!"
Khashana, seeing Flawed fall, tries another mental attack, but she can't breach the warforged's defenses.
Rawhide swings his axe again, missing wildly [Melee attack, roll of 2 on d20, +5 greataxe, total 7, miss].
Seeing the opportunity present itself, Plonk reaches forward and grabs ahold of the warforged [Melee touch attack, roll of 13 on d20, -1 touch, total 12, hit; Damage roll of 3 on 1d8+1, 3 damage].
[Duration of
doom: 9 rounds remaining.]
Round 3
Staggered, but still conscious, the warforged reaches behind her head and brings her open hand towards Plonk, swinging wildly. The gnome dodges easily.
Gannon attacks with his morningstar again, missing almost as wildly as she had missed Plonk [Melee attack, roll of 1 on d20, automatic failure; Possible fumble, DC 10 Ref save, roll of 1 on d20, +0 Ref, total 1, failure]. He slips on some blood, falling prone next to the corpse of the old man.
Khashana moves forward, hopeful that she might be able to help someone, or at least move them out of harm's way -- Flawed proves too far, however, and she's forced to wait a bit longer.
Frustrated, Rawhide slashes at the warforged with his axe, cutting open her chest and exposing some the gears inside [Melee attack, roll of 15 on d20, +5 greataxe, total 20, hit; Damage, roll of 15 on 1d12+4, 15 damage]. She falls to the ground, face down, inert...
Cries ring out from some of the nearby towers, "Murder! They've murderered that person!" The shrill whistles of the City Watch can be heard from beyond Delannan Tower. From the sounds of it, they're not far away.
OOC:
Here's the situation: Flawed is inert [-2 hp], there's a dead body on the ground next to Gannon, and the City Watch is a short walk away, more than likely. If you have comments or questions about how I've handled combat, we can chat in the OOC thread.
