Elvish Misconception Part I

[Zarius]

OOC: If I am in a cell with one of the other characters that has gotten free... [IC] Zarius will leave his cell and prepare a ready action for if one of the guards comes with my reach he will throw that guard into the bars of the cell. OOC: If I am still locked up... [IC] Zarius will run up to the bars and say " Throw me the keys so I can get out of here." He will also set a ready action also when a guard comes within reach he will grapple the guard up against the bars so that the others may get free shots apon him.

ooc: Hopefully the last question along these lines- did they leave me my beech-bar scroll of Animal Friendship? If so....

IC:

Nameroc grins at seeing the first natural thing in ages, and pulls out a small square of white beech bark and unrolls it, reading the Druidic words. "Come, friend, and follow me," he speaks simply to the badger.


ooc: If not... (assuming that there's a dagger to be had).

Nameroc grabs a dagger from his "friend's" belt and brandishes it at the guard.

"I want answers, now, or else you'll be facing odds of six against one. What in the name of the Shawm is going on here?"

OOC: Sorry to burst your bubble but even from a scroll, AF takes an HOUR to cast.

Avan's next turn

Avan stands ready to take out another guard. He will hold his action until the enemy is within range. (and hopes someone throws him a short sword.)

OOC: Some clarifications, there is only one guard left, and technically its 2 to 6 (not 1 on 6 like you told him) Another thing is, if they were smart enough to not give you PENS because they were sharp, you think they'd let you have a Scroll? Al'Quien- Since there is only one guard left, im assuming you don't try to hit him with the block

Al'quien: You pick up the large brick and walk into the hallway.
Nameroc: grabs a short sword (closest thing to dagger) from his "friend's" belt and brandishes it at the guard.
Rest: you guys all walk into the hallway and put your fists up as if to fight.

Guard 4: "Uhhmmm," he seems a little flustered, "if you guys don't get back in your cell, I will see to it that you are killed!"

How big IS the badger? Preferably describe in terms of a known animal. (i.e. its the size of a wolf, german shepard, lion, etc)....

 

[Uriel]

OoC:Hmm, I'm jumping right into the middle of this, I guess. I'll cast Random Actin on the remaining guard.

 

[Jemal]

Al'quien shrugs and brings the block down with all his might (2-handed), trying to knock-out the guard.

Re: k

Ah well, worth a try (by the way, Argent, see PHB pg 126, "acticating magic items"- it takes the same time as the spell). Now Nameroc is really wishing he put ranks in Animal Empathy, though (see below).

Ic:

They're like animals thinks Nameroc, not unapprovingly, as his cellmates attack the guards ferociously with whatever means at their disposal. Any animal will fight like mad when caged or cornered.... A thought pops into his head- if the overlarge badger- perhaps a dire animal?- was here and domesticated, he might be able to exert influence over it....

He speaks loudly and clearly in common to the Badger of the sounds of the battle around him, and hope that he gets the words and intonation right. "Heel." The badger seems to hesitate, and he repeats the command, trying not to let desperation edge in to his voice. "Heel!"

Game Stuff: Attempt to use the "Handle a domestic animal" part of the "handle animal" skill, which he has at +5. This makes the assumption that the Badger is domesticated, but oh well.... Another thing to note, could take more than a round. Nameroc'll keep on doing it next round, if needed, and barring the unexpected.

One last thing (is it a problem if the "game stuff" section is longer than the role-playing? ) can Nameroc identify what the badger is with Wilderness Lore or Knowledge: Nature?

edit: If I can, I'll slowly hand the short sword I'm holding to Avan while I talk.

 

[DM_Matt]

I stab the guard.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Avan will hold back and not get in the others way. He will brace if the badger attacks.
