Endur's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

[Endur]

Round 7

Alessandra, Lia, and Willow are following Skorl's trail. They realize immediately that Skorl in his panic did not flee Barovia, but instead ran deeper into the village, albeit not in the direction of the battle that the others are heading towards.

Alessandra, Lia, and Willow see Zombies moving on the road ahead. The zombies are moving slowly enough that the party members can outrun the zombies, but outrunning the zombies will make following Skorl's tracks difficult.


Dareios, Nikolai, and Ricven have found the town square. A female warrior in full plate armor is fighting a horde of zombies standing near the well in the middle of the square. Archers on the roofs of several buildings are firing flaming arrows at the slow-moving zombies in the square.

The map below shows the town square. The party is entering from the top of the map. Please ignore the letters on the map.

Skorl yells his battle cries and continues to swing his flail about, pulping zombie after zombie.

Three hairless humanoids with mottled decaying flesh and eyes burning like hot coals come into his sight and stop to observe the battle.

The first humanoid complains, "He's hoarding all the food!"

The second humanoid adds, "That's not fair."

The third humanoid calls out to Skorl, "Are you interested in sharing?"

[Pyrex]

Running shorter on spells than targets, Nikolai changes tack and casts Protection from Evil on Dareios

 

[Rhun]

Skorl truly misses his blade, but continues to swing his flail in deadly arcs, lashing out with the spiked ball whenever a target presents itself. Although he doesn't like the look of the newcomers, any help is better than no help. "Yah, I share," he calls out to them.


OOC:
Switch to 3 pt. power attacks: Attack +7, Heavy Flail (1d10+12/19-20), cleave when possible.
HP: 35/47

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

"Thank you, Nik! Now, let's teach those bastards!"

Dareios posture suddenly changes, and he tries to control his breath... His eyes narrow...

And then, with an infernal cry, the young warrior ravages into the zombie mob!

(Power attack, again.)

(Does Dareios see Skorl and those new hairless friends?)

 

[Dirk]

Rick rushes towards the nearest zombie and attacks.

"M'Lady are you ok?"

ooc: normal attack sequence and is the lady mathilda the lightbringer?

 

[Endur]

Darieos does not see Skorl and the hairless creatures. Skorl and the hairless creatures are not present at the town square above.


Rick does not have a clear enough view to tell whether it is Mathilda or someone else fighitng in the town square. Fog, Smoke (from burning zombies), and Darkness make it difficult to tell.

 

[hafrogman]

Cedric shrugs as he sees everyone split off in two directions. Not quite sure of what to do next and rather worried about the half-orc, he heeds Alessandra's words. Hefting the mighty blade heavily onto one shoulder, he sets off following the trackers, lugging the greatsword along with him.

 

[Dirk]

Rick yells out to the lady in armor and the archers above while he continues to attack.

"Don't fire, we are friends."

ooc: normal attack sequence, roughly how many zombies are we talking?

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

OOC: Alessandra will continue to follow the tracker (whomever is in the lead). She is mounted, but holding her horse to the speed the tracker has set. She will keep a watch in hopes of seeing an ambush before it happens, as well as listening for Skorl.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Dareios will continue to smash down anyone looking like *undead*, until there's no enemy left or until he himself is slain...
