Forest of Doom - IC Thread

[S'mon]

there are some people who enjoy no existence except to act as some sort of puppet in a make-believe world for those wanting to escape the drudgery of their real life.

OOC: That made me laugh.

Keena did not voice her opinion, but by her subtle expression it was clear she supported Paaq's argument. *Well except for one thing# Keena thinks to herself *all slavers and slave owners need to be killed on the spot like rabid dogs* Keena keeps this thought to herself instead of sharing it with the others. Instead, she takes a deep breath and prepares herself for what must be done. Knotching an arrow into her bow, Keena quickly rises up from where she is kneeling beneath the window and fires (She will be using Point Blank Shot)

OOC: sorry boys, but zero tolerance is zero tolerance

Keena's surprise attack strikes the man in the left flank, badly wounding him (OOC: but 8 dmg not 10, you don't have a Mighty bow so you don't add your STR to the damage). He yells in shock and anger, grasping the arrow as it protrudes from his body, looks to the window and grabs up a hand axe...

As the man raises the axe to throw, like lightning, Keena gets off a second shot...

 

[S'mon]

Keena's shot misses as the man ducks, the arrow lodges in the wooden wall behind him. He steps to the window and throws his axe at her.

 

[S'mon]

The deadly axe strikes Keena in the head, she falls poleaxed at -6 hp/7.

Looking out the window the man sees the rest of Keena's party, and blinks in surprise.

All other PCs can now act (no need to roll init) in posting order, whether to attack or do something else. The man is AC 10 but has cover from the window, so effectively AC 14. He's at 4/12 hp.

Kip watches the two arrows fly, and is a bit taken aback when the axe swings from the window and nearly cleaves Keena in two. He considers for a half second what to do. With a sigh he turns and moves around the small hut to the front door. He takes the knob in hand and attempts to open the door.

Jonath Cailan:

As Keena collapses bonelessly to the ground, Jonath mutters to himself, "I hope the gods won't call this murder," and he steps into view of the window, draws an arrow of his own, and sends it into the building.

Unfortunately, his aim is slightly off, and the arrow impacts on the windowsill with a loud "chunk."

Thinking quickly, Jonath calls out to the man. "Come out peacefully and unarmed by the order of King Pindar; you are under arrest for illegal traffickin' in slaves!"

OOC: Sounds like the guy is just inside the window, so proceding with the idea that a melee attack is feasible through cover.

"Keena! Someone help her!"

Paaq briefly considers the potion in his belt pouch, but decides he can do more good confronting the musclebound slave-owner. His legs coil beneath him, and then explode, driving him across the remaining distance to the window, the tip of his sword aiming for the man's throat...

And the blade slips in, almost too easily for Paaq's taste. The muscled man falls back, feebly clutching at the blood spurting from his neck. Unaccustomed to such meager defenses, Paaq barely stops before slamming his shoulder into the window frame, and his swordtip hangs in the air dripping blood for a moment, before Paaq realises the full extent of what he did.

After a moment, he shakes his head to refocus, abd turns back to the group.

"Keena? Is she alive?"

GM: The door opens - Kip hears a *thunk* to his right and turns to see the big man's body hit the ground in a spray of blood. He's clearly dead. A large two-handed woodsman's axe leans against the doorframe. Over by the bed, the nude auburn-haired woman with the slave collar regards Kip fearfully.

OOC: CR 1 - 50 XP.
