[FR][PBP] Against the Storm Game Thread

[Paragon Badger]

OOC: Can I get a quick accounting of the forest battle? What foes are left standing?

 

[Donatello]

Everett nods and takes two steps away from Calain before stopping...

"Wait a second... I don't think it's such a good idea to split up. You look among the corpses... I got your back while you look. I'll make sure and hollar nice and loud if something comes our way. That thing you said about 'someone' controlling this lollapalooza has given me the creeps."

He then moves in to step behind Calain, staying as close as possible without actually breathing Calain's air.

Everett is keeping his eyes peeled for movement, ambush, or even subtle changes in the sky/horizon while Calain searches. He has his rapier and shield ready, and is readying an action to begin singing a sustained (increase duration by 50%) Swift Song (Perform Check DC 18 to Sustain a spellchord, which I automatically succeed at)

Ubaar sees the big slash from the Ogre Mage heal some, and thanks Alcar, saying "Ubaar can heal, too - but not when fighting.

Now let's get those last butchers."

Standing behind the cover, Ubaar gets out his Strong-Bow (Mighty Composite) and looks for a target, using a normal arrow.

 

[dead_radish]

If there are not any immediately obvious targets, Elone stashes her mighty bow in the Quiver of Mielikki, and withdraws the Bow of True Striking. She whispers the command word, and advances slowly, keeping her ears open.

Just as the standoff is about to become a shootout, the air around Alcar, Elone, and Ubaar becomes full of bone-numbing frozen mist, and a sheet of ice covers the grouns. No one can see, and movement is difficult. They can hear the goblins and worgs riding away, though.

(at last count, there were two worgs and four goblins, with three other goblins possibly at large.)

 

[Paragon Badger]

Alcar looks around for Elone. He won't call out, not wanting to give away his position, but will walk toward where he last saw her, careful to not fall on the ice. He'll also put away his maul and withdraw his longbow. He nocks an arrow ready to fire, but will be very careful to avoid shooting an ally.

Put away maul, draw longbow. Move toward Elone at slower speed to avoid slipping on the ice.

 

[dead_radish]

Elone curses. "Foul sorceries!" She takes careful aim at the retreat Worgs and fires off several arrows at their backs.

 

[reapersaurus]

"Hey!
Who made it cold like back home?
Tho this is cool, it not good for fighting.

Ubaar only saw goblins left standing - who use magic?"

Ubaar casts CLW on himself (swapping out Divine Favor)

 

[DM_Matt]

It seems that you opponents are running away. You cannot see at all within the sleet, nor can you see beyond it. Going slowly, you manage get out of it, but by then, you can only faintly hear them running, and they seem to be pretty far away.

 

[dead_radish]

"Praise to Solonor, who guides our arrows, and guides our path. We thank you for your aid and our victory."

She turns towards the newcomer.

"You are truly blessed, tribesman" she says, noting his obvious strength. "How came you to the forests under Solonor's eye?"
