Head of the class (stonegod judging)[Concluded]

IcyCool said:
Shiv raises his blade to point at your group, and with a mixture of disbelief and rage he roars, "YOU! I will see to your deaths personally!"
Shoot doubted the man. He'd run from them once before, and he was outnumbered now. Whatever he had in mind, Shoot and Fang were ready.

OoC: Initiative is d20-1=13.

Combat, Round 1

Blood pumping from their run down the hall, Shiv and the cultists react quickly. Each of the two human cultist wields a longsword and heavy wooden shield which they take a moment to ready. As they move, it is relatively easy to spot their scale mail beneath their bulky robes. Shiv is decked out in his ornate breastplate armor, heavy steel shield, and longsword. A crossbow hangs at his left hip.

Blades drawn and shields readied, they advance into the room, their steady movements and hard look showing they are no strangers to combat. Shiv advances to L11, and the cultists advance to M9 & M10. Shiv watches Raven's movements intently, with Cultist #1 watching Anvuss and Cultist #2 watching Shoot.

OOC: Anvuss' weapon enchantment still has plenty of time left. Shiv assigns his dodge to Raven. Cultist #1 assigns his dodge to Anvuss, and Cultist #2 assigns his dodge to Shoot.

Seat is up next in Round 1.


Initiative Order:
Cultists = 21
Shiv = 17

ooc: Anvuss is last, but in case I fall off the edge of the Earth again, Anvuss's general intention is to get as close to Shiv as he can with an eye towards flanking. His double move of 40' can put him in range of Shiv if K12 is available, otherwise he'll settle for getting as close as he can.
 


Since apparently the big man is decided to attack Raven, Shoot decides that some magic would help tip the balance there. The dwarf recites an obscure protective prayer to the elven Eternal Court and Raven suddendly feels a bit safer.

ooc: Casting Shield of faith, Raven gets +2 Defelction bonus. No movement.

Spells remaining:

1st level: Cure light wounds x2, Bless, Shield of Faith.
Orisons: Cure minor wounds, Guidance, Resistance, Light.
 


Words of power pour from Seat's mouth and a protective shield wards Raven. Raven and Tali move to I10 and H9, respectively, and ready to box in and attack any foes that come within reach. Anvuss, resolute in his desire to cause bodily harm to Shiv, maneuvers closer to him, positioning himself at K12 for an attack next round.

OOC: El Jefe, what do Shoot and Fang do?
 

It was time for that bad man to taste some of Shoot's magic! He stepped past Anvuss, Fang at his side. "T-try this!", he exclaimed as he released some of his magical energy at the man. A blinding burst of light appeared in front of Shiv's face, startling some of the others. Shoot fumbled for his sling as he turned his lidless eyes from the flash.[sblock=OoC: ]Shoot will advance to G11, Fang beside him (move action), and cast Flare right in front of Shiv's face (standard action). He will most likely take out his sling next round, but we'll see.[/sblock]
 

Combat, Round 2

In the previous round, Shoot and Fang move forward, and Shoot casts his spell, but Shiv manages to shake off it's effects.

The cultists advance on the party, shifting their targets. Cultist #1 moves up and takes a swing at Tali, landing what could have been a killing blow, had Tali not turned at the last moment (Crit not confirmed, Tali takes 6 points of damage). Cultist #2 moves up in support, looking as though he is ready to strike should Raven or Tali come in range. Shiv starts to slowly circle Anvuss (5' step to L12), and lashes out with a brutal, but inaccurate strike which clangs harmlessly off of Anvuss' metal body.

OOC: I'm a bit under the weather, but I'll try to keep an eye on this thread.

Cultist #1 assigns his dodge to Tali
Cultist #2 assigns his dodge to Raven
Shive assigns his dodge to Anvuss

Seat is up next in Round 2.

Seeing Tali seriously wounded, Seat advances behind him and intones a healing prayer rescued from a Xen'drik stele. The ancoent prayer proves to be quite effective, as Tali's wounds close almost completely.

ooc: Move to G-10 and cast Cure light wounds, healing 10 damage.

Spells remaining:

1st level: Cure light wounds x2, Bless, Shield of Faith.
Orisons: Cure minor wounds, Guidance, Resistance, Light.
