Feint Whispers Chapter #6: A Modest Proposal

[jasamcarl]

As Jericho moves forward, Bhartus takes his shot at the goblin to the left, which goes wide as the creatures fan out to both the left and right and rush down to face Norri, Bhartus, and Whitney, sidestepping Jericho's challenge.

Norri drops his crossbow, quickly withdrawing his dagger to meet his assailant with a stab to its unexposed arm. The goblin screams in rage, before beginning to bear down on the halfling with his shortsword.

The goblin shaman waves her sickle menacingly, "You don't know what you're dealing with, tall ones!!! Power older than the gods makes the land itself my servant!!!" As the obelisk takes on a faint red shimmer, she spreads her arms. Her shape begins to alter, as both armor and weapons dissapeare, replaced with feathers. In a few seconds, where once stood a goblin, a black eagle now hunches. The bird flaps its wings and flys to the top edge of the obelisk. It looking down on the beleagured party.

Tarowyn and Whitney are up. There are now two goblins firing arrows from the trees; they both have cover. That makes four goblins, a brown bear, and the female goblin shaman.

OOC: This is a TOUGH encounter guys. Don't hold back with the spells or any other ability.

OOC: My post is up there :looks up:

 

[Krug]

Hmm okay.. just that I think I used up most of my spells in the earlier encounter.. we haven't rested since that one have we?

OOC: I think we slept the rest of the night. I think. So Krug should be fully recharged. I think.

Whitney sighs as she looks around, taking in the situation and rasing a hand to point at the bear. "Blast and damnation I'm so tired of these type of fights.. I'd like a simple cut and dried battle once, not a fight where we are in the middle and know not who is in the right."

Tarowyn responds to the goblin fire, rapidly unleashing two arrows against the goblin to his left. Both find their mark and the creature falls to the forest floor near the trea trunk with barely a squeek, as one shaft protrudes from its neck.

Arcane light manifests from Whitney's hand, which remains steady despite the distraction of the two marauding goblins to her left and right, flying towards the bear in the form of two luminous balls, searing some of the fur off its coat. The goblin shaman, in eagle form atop the stone block squaks loudly. The bear responds to both pain and squak with a roar and charges Jericho. The D'orite swings at the bear as it nears, but only finds the air over the animal's head. A large claw, the tips of which are strangly glowing, comes in under Jericho's sword arm a pierces his armor, causing immediate discomfort.

Jericho takes 11.

Jericho is up. 3 goblins, their leader, and the shaman remaining.

OOC: I assumed you guys slept in late, so you are fully charged. I would be a real bastard if I gave you through this type of encounter after that ambush.

 

[Mirth]

Watching the bear tear into Jericho, Tarowyn lets two more arrows fly towards the goblin to his left then leaps forward to help the D'orite, aiming another arrow at the bear's head (OOC: which will go off next round, of course).

 

[Krug]

Bhartus casts a Sound Burst, trying to catch the shaman, bear and goblins.

"Shut your ears!" Bhartus shouts to his fellows.

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho returns the favor on the magically enhanced bear, bring his magical bastard sword down into the beast, trying to keep his balance, and show that he is not intimidated by the creature.

Normal strike, not giving ground, time to kill some bear.
