Freeport- Part 1: the Problem with Crematoriums

[Karl Green]

Quickly signing, ~hold till they almost reach the first barrier~

OOC: i was hoping we had set up at least two barriers, one to slow the enemy (i.e. they need to climb over it) and another for the ranged fighters to fire from behind a bit farther back. I'd imagine Zoraster would be up closer to the first barrier and Kitsch and Black Jack would be farther back to keep out of range. If that's not the case and there's only the one barrier at stairs, Kitsch would probably be concealed in the rafters above the hallway to the bell tower, since he's not so great in melee combat.

[OCC -Kitsch could be up in the rafters if he wanted to, such that he could easy move around up there and have some cover. Zoraster is down at the bottom of the stairs behind the first set of barricades, while Black Jack is at the top behind the second set. There is a small ramp, or something such that Zoraster can easily climb over the barricade at the top of the stairs, and than can be knocked over such that no one else can climb over it after him. I will wait to see a couple more peoples actions and then will post surprise round!!!]

Torren nods. Leaving one stone on the floor he quietly draws his blade and hefts the other thunderstone.

[OOC: When the trouble starts, Torren will drop the stone over the railing, hopefully causing some confusion. Since he doesn't know what's happening on the beach, he'll assume the big group is all coming. He'll make sure to drop the stone far enough to the right and out not to catch Zoroaster or himself in its effects.]

Kitsch will then be up in the rafters with a readied action to snipe a leader figure.

"Don't know, might be, By any chance would you have any clue I assume cleric have some basic knowledge of religion and cults practices" I tell Fenrith about the spoiler so that he can read it. [OCC I ask for Fenrith if he has any knowledge of what we see]

Fenrith spoiler

Spoiler

When you look down at what Villard is trying to point out you can barely make out the figures, all you can tell is that there are some bigger ones and some small ones, but they are just black forms. You can see the greasy smoke though. You are thinking "darm his night vision is as good as an elf's"

[OCC I am assuming that everyone waits...]

Inside

The lead creature makes it to the barricade, it sniff it a bit and looks around...
Spot roll total 12; the other get totals of 7 and 18
...but does not seem to see Zoraster or any of the rest of the party. The creature reaches out to climb over the barricade...

Kitsch notices two more creatures come in through the door; they split up, one going north after that lone one and the other moving towards the barricade...Black Jack sees one additional one coming toward the barricade (for a total of 3)
Kitsch spot roll 15 +5 =20; Black Jack 10 +4 =14; Zoraster 9 -1 =8

[Actions? Right now Zoraster would not be able to reach it with his rapier; he could hold until it got within reach if he wanted.]

up in the Bell Tower

Villard and Fentrith continue to watch the ritual down at the beach. The creatures are moaning an almost hypnotic tone. The greasy smoke seems to be swilling around some of the smaller ones right now.
Spot rolls, Villard 1 +10 =11, Fentrith 20 +3 =23 (ACK what the heck?!?!)
Both can see that one of the creatures down there is a bit more animated then the rest, swing his arms and stomping his feet.

[Actions in the bell tower?]

 

[DarkMaster]

Villard rogue/ranger

Villard has seen enough, he takes his bow and shoot twice(OCC rapid shot don't know if this is considered a surprise round if it is then only 1 arrow ) with normal arrow the creature that seems the most agitated. [OCC I hope everybody down there make their surprise attack this round]

 

[JimAde]

Torren creeps forward and tries to spot a group to drop the thunderstone on.

[OOC: One other thing I forgot to mention! I'd like my bag of tricks (the leather bag with my extra equipment in it) up here with Torren. Is that OK? I'll probably be wanting a sunrod before long.]

Black Jack Elf Rogue/Fighter

*As the creature climbs over the barricade, Black Jack attacks.

OOC:+10 to hit 1-8+2 +2d6 sneak attack. Ac 18+ cover.

 

[JimAde]

Torren mutters, "I have a bad feeling about this," and lobs the first thunderstone over the railing, trying to get several of the creatures in its effect.

 

[Kangaxx]

Zoraster Surefoot, Halfling Swashbuckler

Zoraster will ready an action for when one of the fishmen tries to go up the stairs: Take a 5' step to block the fishman's path up the stairs if necessary, [OOC: not sure if he's already blocking the stairs or not] then uncover the sunrod and make with the stabby.

[OOC:
speed 25'
AC 21, 22 vs lead fish
rapier +11, 1d4+4 dmg
