[FR][PBP] Against the Storm Game Thread

[Paragon Badger]

Alcar will struggle to his feet after the worg's attacks.

"I'm wounded, but I'm still standing.", Alcar shouts in reply to Elone.

Alcar knows he needs some distraction that will hold the beasts off to allow him to heal again. He takes a quick step away from the beasts and begins an invocation. He speaks to the will of the Treefather, "The battle is long, the battle is hard, and yet again I turn to you. Smite the foul beasts and their masters with the Great Mallet you wield. Spiritual Weapon"

Alcar uses a move-equivalent to stand from prone. He then takes a 5' step and casts Spiritual Weapon directing it to attack worgs then goblins.

He will attempt to swap Meld into Stone for Serious Wounds next turn, taking a 5' step and casting defensively if required

OOC: Since this may be important next round I wanted to point out the Renewal granted power heals me 1d8+1 hp once a day when I drop below 0 hp.

Ahkaros: as you begin to approach, the man sees you and begins walking away, trying to blend into the crowd.

Akharos turns and continues on his way to his rendezvous point, keeping a sharp eye out for the hooded man.

 

[DM_Matt]

Alcar summons up a Maul to aid him as he retreats. The maul bashes the same worg that Alcar injured earlier, killing it.

Elone, realizing that she and Alcar are being overrun and outnumbered, calls down heavenly fire to smite her attackers. Once she can see through the smoke and flaming crcasses, she sees four of the five wolves and two of the goblins dead, and the other three goblins badly wounded.

Garyh: You walk into the tavern, and you notice the hooded man in one of the boothes.

Frian/Alexander: UHEFA says: My real name is not important. I go by Rana. (Both of you have heard of an adventurer by that name in the North, one known to have worked for Laeral Silverhand (who apparently was killed at Silverymoon). Rana is something of a minor Waterhavian socialite who is known for her mercurial temper (and a tendency towards excesses in general), but also as a brave warrior willing to sacrifice herself for her companions at a moments notice, as well as a skilled mage and likely an assassin.) Since the deaths of those who I perviously worked for, I've been freelancing for Irusyl. I think you'll be perfect for the job we have for you.

DreamWorld Types: Nothing unusual seems to be happening. (maybe take another approach than surveying wreckage).

Ubarr: See above

 

[reapersaurus]

Ubaar will advance towards the sounds of battle closest to him, drawing his greatsword and clanging his Gauntlets of Rage together to cast Rage.

edit: if it looks like there are goblinoid forces attacking anyone, Ubaar would wade into combat with his greatsword slashing, after using a Feat of Strength to call upon the Strength of the Thunderbeast to infuse his limbs.

(hard to guess what Ubaar saw, but hopefully he can help out as needed)

 

[Paragon Badger]

After the devestation wrought by the Flame Strike Alcar shouts, "Thanks for the backup, Elone."

Taking the chance to capitalize on the attack, Alcar will dance back to a safe position and begin to chant, "Prayer of earth leave me mind and seek my wounds and them do bind. Cure Serious Wounds"

Alcar will then direct the Spiritual Weapon to attack a worg (if any are left) -> the kobold -> the goblins for as long as the weapon lasts.

He'll also shout out to Elone, " Have you seen the fiend that lead this party?"

Alcar takes a 5' step away from any enemy. Then he swaps Meld into Stone for Cure Serious Wounds. The maul is directed to attack any remaining worgs then the kobold then the goblins.

OOC: Nice shot Dead_Radish!

 

[garyh]

Garyh: You walk into the tavern, and you notice the hooded man in one of the boothes.

Akharos moves toward an unoccupied booth and takes a seat.

He stays alert, and begins to wonder if the hooded man is his contact scouting him out, an enemy of some sort, or an unrelatd miscreant.

 

[dead_radish]

"Praise to Solonor, and death to those that oppose him."

Elone searches the remaining opponents, seeking the Magi, as well as the other sorcerer, or any archers as targets for her attack. She calls out to Alcar, trying to track his position by sound. "I hope we find him soon, or he's fled. I'm quickly running out of gifts!" She then attempts to link up with Alcar to join forces.

Elone attempts to move to join Alcar - failing that, at least approach him. Taking a single shot at sorcerer, magi, archers, worg, goblins (in that order).

OOC: Mmm. Flame strike GOOD! Love those domain spells.

 

[Donatello]

Everett waits, backing up Calain. For all he can tell, this is Calain's dream... until the dreamer acts, he's nothing but supporting cast. Of course, he's still ready for the worst...

 

[Elric]

(while running, so a little strained for lack of breath)

"Thanks for your assistance, milady. Since you saved us from Bron, certain imprisonment and possible death, I am in your debt. If you take us to this Irusyl and the mission is what you say it is, I have no doubt that I will accept. I am Alexander and my gifted companion’s name is Frian."

 

[DM_Matt]

Fenrir/Don: No attempts to interact with non-PC entities have been made. You don't see anything in the ruins that you don't expect.

Forest Battle: Elone manages to reach Alcar, and fires a shot at the Ogre-Mage who has now arrived with two worg riders in tow. Elone fires an arrow into his chest (18dmg), wounding him, but not weakening him much.

Now, six worgs, four goblins, and the ogre-mage are attacking them. Ubaar storms onto the scene in a battlerage, and swings at the Orge-Mage with his greatsword. (23 dmg) The OM is forced back by the blow, and seems to be somewhat weakened.

Alcar heals himself (+28), and his spiritual weapon clubs the ogre-mage (14 dmg crit)

The ogre-mage swings wildly at Ubaar with a greatsword of his own, slashing deeply into his torso twice. (44 dmg). The goblinoids rally around their leader against the newcomer. All of the worgs (except one, burnt by the flame strike, that stays back, growling and grumbling) tackle him, biting into him and wrestling him to the ground (34 dmg....hp-->-5)

Suddenly, flame and dark energy rains from the sky upon Elone and Alcar (23 dmg for Alcar and Elone)

The goblins continue firing arrows, and one hits Elone in the stomach (crit, 17 dmg) The arrow knocks her against a nearby tree, and she is barely able to remain standing (hp = natural, 9 from a spell of 74). She is forced to grab onto it to keep form falling and steady herself.

Alcar's hammer bashes the OM in the side of the head, crushing his skull. He falls. Elone fires three arrows, killing two worgs.

Their leaders killed. The remaining for goblins mount the remaining four worgs and assess the situation. You are no sure where the other three goblins went.

Seeing Ubaar down, Alcar being forced onto the defensive, and Elone nearly don, they draw their spears and two charge each of them.

(Alcar has an extra set of moves, btw)
