Murdoch will use his rod of metamagic quicken and use his flee the scene invocation to dimension door right next to Maggie, touch her, and use his regular action to dimension door right behind Timrin. Please note that there is a major illusion left once he leaves a spot, and the illusion at his original spot will scream "no, don't hurt her, I say we surrender!" for a diversion [Bluff: +16]. (OCC: remember, Murdoch is CG

Barnak will continue casting his summon Monster VII spell, but will have the celestial polar bear materialize behind the guy that had his boot on Maggie's throat. Barnak will also fly upwards so Maggie's attackers won't be able to rush him.

The second major illusion from Murdoch's flee the scene invocation will fake an attack on the guy that was threatening Maggie, to give the conjured polar bear flanking.


OCC: I hope this works!

Murdoch appears behind the half-open doors (the only other possible interpretation of next to Maggie would be in front of one of the thugs, ready to provoke AoOs from both), impossible for the two thugs to see. Everyone takes Murdoch's lead and raises their hands. The thugs are distracted watching them suddender, then the one removes his leg. Murdoch reaches through to get Maggie out. The thug stomps his leg a down moment too late, and nearly loses his balance, expecting Maggie's head to be there. It seems they would have done so after you surrendered no matter what.

The bear shows up, but it looks far different than expected. Bigger, bipedal, and with equiptment as well. Somehow he got a specific were-polar bear. The creature roars begins tearing into them with his claws, striking him repatedly and bashing him to the ground, then positioning his leg on top of him as the thug had done to Maggie (128dmg+stun+knockdown+grapple).

Therea re a number of explosions heard coming fro mvarious parts of the city. It seems this is not the only place the enemy is striking.

The gladiator's Cronos sigils glow momentarily. So does Aleena. His other sigil glows, and Cronos sigils appear on the foreheads of each of his companions. The ones currently held remain, but the others teleport away. Shando's attacker mumbles groggily "I surrender, don't kill me, please," then passes out. The other fails to escape from the grapple of the werebear.

The bear approaches "I am Beor Bron, Ranger of Selune. I have come to claim the Namer for my patron. I was on my way here when one of you cast a sufficiently similar summoning spell that I could latch onto." If Alethia were awake, she could point out that Beor is a legendary servant of Selune, one of the mightiest warriors against the servants of Shar, and perhaps the greatest wrestler in Faerun.

ooc:
Ooo... Aleena looks like she is in big trouble, outside of just being dead (not such a big deal with ressurection and raise dead) and the big bear guy's reaction to Alethia is going to be interesting to say the least

OOC: I am very concerned they just 'stole' Aleena's soul. We'll learn soon enough I'm afraid.


As the Thayans teleport away Timrin does not watch the results of the werebear's assault, he gently sets the lifeless Aleena on the ground and rushes to stauch the flow of blood from Maggie's broken form before she too is lost (Heal +7).

"Murdock, Banak - we are in dire shape here. My healing powers are spent for the day and I am without potions or wands. We need to get Maggie, Alethia, and Dyria some immediate healing or they too may die."

"PLEASE," he says almost sobbing, "teleport them to our base for immediate aid. GO!"

Timrin is still frantically working to stabalize Maggie as the large creature's shadow falls over him. Without looking up, Timrin says through gritted teeth, "Friend Beor, we thank for your timely assistance but if you've got any healing draughts in that pack of yours kindly break them out. My friends are dying and one of Selune's own is crumpled in the street."

Alethia laughs as the multi-coloured birdies sing a rather bawdy song and sits down on the grassy field, not even wondering how on Toril did she get there....

My friends are dying and one of Selune's own is crumpled in the street."

After some frantic trying, he seems to have Maggie stabilized, but she remains entirely unresponsive.

Beor reverts to his human form, a large, handsome, muscular man from the cold, tribalistic mountains of Rasheman. He hands whoemever wants it a potion for Dyria. With his left arm, he gently pulls Alethia halfway towards sitting up. He has a leather bracer on his right arm containing a number of wands. One of them glows, as does his hand, and he waves it over her a number of times. Alethia opens her eyes and becomes somewhat aware of the blurry figure around her. (Cure spells wont entirely negate the stun condition though...heal is required).

 

[frostrune]

"Banak hurry," Timrin admonishes, "Maggie needs expert help NOW."

"How are the others?" he shouts over his shoulder to no one in particular.

OOC: I will be away from a computer for the next 2 weeks. Dm_Matt please put Timrin on autopilot. I will try to check in if I can.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando reaches down, strips his opponet, leaving just undergarments. He then sets the the broken arm. (Heal+12)

He does so successfully. He doesnt expect her to be awake for a couple hours, though.

 

[DM_Matt]

Ok, so the situation...

There are apparently other fights going on in the city. A number of explosions have been heard and there is smoke in the air.

Aleena is dead. Maggie is barely alive, and needs to be gotten to someone with better magic than cures soon. Alethia and Dyria are waking up but still wont be in fighting condition in the imediate term.

Murdoch, Shando, Barnak, and Timrin are OK.

So now what?

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando glances around, seeing the body of Aleena and shakes his head sadly. He takes a slow , deep cleansing breath, centering himself and sending a silent prayer for Ilmater to help protect Aleena's soul in whatever manner he can. He then stands taller, squaring his shoulders and walks over to the distraught paladin. Shando places a reassuring hand on Timrin's shoulder. His Holy radiance aura illuminates the area, hoping it will extend some calm to the chaotic situation. He turns to look at Murdoch and Barnak, speaking forcefully, but calmly "Murdock, Barnak, I know that Timrin is emotional, but please take our wounded to our base. Tell them to button up, in case of an attack. If you can, take Timrin with you. I will stay to watch over the body and report to the Watch and the Lords what happened this night. Please, haste is necessary." Shando looks over to the were-bear and bows at the waist. "I am Shando, humble servant of Ilamter. You assistance is most welcomed at this time. I wish that it could be under happier circumstances. We have much to discuss. Can you please have patience with us in this matter? For some of us, we see this as a failure and is the second time in a matter of weeks. It is a mighty blow against us and the city of Waterdeep. We will need time to recover" It is then that Shando realises he is still bleeding from the attack. He activates his healing ability, stopping the flow of blood and mostly healing the wound. (Wholeness of Body 28 points). Shando then looks for something to cover the body of Lady Aleena and waits for the Watch to arrive.
