Hands of Fate - Chapter 1 - The Orbs of Insight

[Fangor the Fierce]

Kevin, not waiting to see the weasels reaction, strikes quickly at the creature, but as he strikes downward, the weasel moves at the last second, as the chain strikes the ground. The weasel bares its fangs at Kevin, now wanting to taste flesh. (Rolled 8+6 Melee+1 Inspired=15 Miss)

Nyela, in the meanwhile moves into the room, picking out a spot near the center (G4) and lets loose her bullet. Aiming for the larger kobold behind another, and also behind a barrel, it goes wide, striking the bottom of the barrel. Perhaps another target would be best suited for her, as the leader seems to have plenty of cover. (Rolled 9+6 Ranged Sling +1 Inspired-4 Cover=12 Miss)

The weasel sees a chance at Kevins miss to strike back and snaps at him, catching Kevins arm as he tries to swing the chain back into a momentum. Without notice, the creature does not let loose its grip, as it remians attached to your off hand, biting down harder and harder. The blood flows from your open wound, and you can feel its pulse in your body. It doesn't seem to mind, and continues holding on. (rolled 19+6= hit for latching onto your arm. Next round, if still attached, the weasel will roll for Constitution damage to Kevin.)

The rest of the group watches the actions take place, having to decide their course of action before the kobolds retaliate.

[Hesseroph]

The Great Healer, Ghin

Turning towards the man beside Maximo, Ghin beams a bright yet slightly menicing smile as he speaks with a dangious mirth. "Worry not my little friend, three is more than enough under the ever glorious fist of Pelor! Your beast shall be removed with the utmost swiftness!" His hands find his hair, smile fading to a look of fierce pride, as his fingers straighten his short, ruffled mane. With a deep and respectful bow to Maximo and his guest, he departs with the other two.

After gathering up his gear and being escorted to the city gates he turns two his other fellow taskmates. "I have seen you about the training grounds yet I do not know your names good fellows. Allow me to be the first to introduce myself." The sound of smooth metal on metal can be heard shifting as Ghin thrusts a sturdy hand out to those before him, awaiting someone to be the first to grasp it. "I am Ghin Coldstream of the monistary Sharynii dedicated to the Ever Exaulted Pelor, Lord of Sun and destroyer of Darkness!" A wide grin splits his face as his stance shifts expecting. "I will be having the names of my charges for this most blessed journey. And you are?"

Jean Ash, Elven Kensai

Jean grabs Ghin's arm firmly. "Jean Ash of Celene. I have seen you practice too. Glad to have you on my side."
Jean turns towards the third man. "And you are?..."

Darius says "Leaving so soon?" And with a sadistic twinkle in his eye, he moves to A5 to attack the kobold that be.

Attack: +4 (+3 Str, Bard song), 2d6+4 (+3 Str, Bard Song), 19-20 x2.

Darius says "Leaving so soon?" And with a sadistic twinkle in his eye, he moves to A5 to attack the kobold that be.

Attack: +4 (+3 Str, Bard song), 2d6+4 (+3 Str, Bard Song), 19-20 x2.

Darius, intent on taking out these kobolds quickly moves into position, striking downwards at the unsuspecting Kobold. As the Kobold glances upwards, the glint of the steel catches in its eyes, as the sword meets the kobold's collar, easily cleaving at least a foot into the kobold, blood gushing outwards as the kobolds body almost splits in two. (Rolled 20, Crit Confirmed for 15 damage! Beyond DEAD!)

With the Kobold down, Darius' sword is stuck for a second, before he manages to pry it loose.

Meanwhile, Gray Sparrow jumps over the fallen kobold, and advance to the next kobold, kicking at it with her full force, connecting with the Kobolds head, as it falls down, not moving. (Rolled 15+3=18 HIT, 5 damage)

The kobolds, seemingly enraged by the deaths of their fellow warriors begin screaming at what must be the top of their lungs. Brandishing their spears, they fight for their lives, attacking the party. The Leader and the only other Kobold left look at each other, knowing that they are outnumbered and on the verge of their deaths. With a quick glance at each other, the Leader seems to order the smaller one to do something that makes it cower. Then, with a hiss, it runs past the smaller one, around the Dire Weasel attached to Kevins arm, and toward Nedander. As it is reaching Nedander, it does not seem intent on stopping! The smaller kobold follows as well, making a full break for the door. It appears that they are trying to get out of here, trying to Overrun Nedander and make a break for it. Will Nedander block their path, or let them by?

OOC - Nedander goes last, then Initiative order again, with Nyela, Kevin, Dire Weasel, Darius, Gray Sparrow, Kobolds, then Nedander...

 

[Krug]

"We have to stop them! They could alert others!" shouts Nyela. She will use her sling to strike at the nearest Kobold. "Feed the weasel something! It is obviously hungry!" she shouts.

 

[D'Amico Vega]

OOC-I need an update on where everyone is right now-including the kobolds and weasel. Sorry, I'm a little confused.

Darius licks his lips menacingly and yells "Join your fallen friends by falling to my blade!"

OOC-Darius moves to A4 and attacks the kobold.

"Ow! Let go of my arm! Let go, let go, let go, let go."

Kevin obviously doesn't enjoy the feel of weasel teeth in his arm. After shaking his arm around does nothing but cause the teeth to sink in deeper, Kevin grabs his chain and begins whirling it around again. It's difficult to actually make the chain swing with a weasel hanging off of one arm but Jonathan Chainslayers star pupil somehow manages and once again brings the chain swinging down onto the weasel.

OOC:
Attacking the weasel

attack +7
damage 2d4+4

 

[Lefferts]

OOC - Ignore my OOC thread post, went there before checking here. I think the
map answers my question.

Nedander takes a swing at the kobold leader, hoping, but not expecting to take him
down before he can get away.

(attack +2, 1d8+2 damage, 19-20/x2, I'm assuming my bardic music is still in effect)
