Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

[Friadoc]

OOC

Sorry, I thought I actually answered this earlier, but I obviously didn't; Kael would definitely be okay with Mal taking his part of the risk, plus Kael and Mal both share a link and the distance is within range of of Magic Missile, if the familiar needed cover on a retreat.

So, OOCly, sure. ICly, it just needs to be raised and gone from there.

"Or.... what if we lure the ghouls to us?"

He kneels down to stroke Mal's ears. "I think these creatures are kinda dumb. They have hunted down and killed every living thing within god knows how far."

"Ol' Mal here could wander up toward the farm like a lost dog returning after few days adventure. When the ghouls see him I expect they'll try and get him. "

"Mal leads them back toward us and WHAM... we hit them with a quick ambush back away from where they can call for help."

"What do you think? Takes a bit of bravery on Mal's part but he should be plenty fast enough to stay out of reach."

Danth nods at Jokad's words. "I like it. What say you Kael?"



OOC: Just an FYI for Hewligan, but Danth would wait until combat was imminent to cast his bless spell so that we could get the most out of the duration...

Listening to his friends, Kael looks toward Mal and, from the body language of his face, you can tell he has silently asked his familiar about his own feelings. It takes a few moments as the sorcerer and familiar communicate silently, it is easy to almost feel as if you can feel or hear the conversation. After a few moments Kael nods and looks back toward the rest of you.

"Mal can do it," says Kael with a shallow smile, it's pride is cut by his worry. "He thinks it's a good idea, so long as we don't screw up."

 

[frostrune]

"... so long as we don't screw up."

"HA!" Jokad playfully rough-houses with the dog. "So long as we don't screw up huh? No more scraps for you."

"Now get going and bring me back a big stupid ghoul to chop."


OOC: Let's each find suitable cover or hiding spot within a signle move of where Mal will lead them and pound them when they get close.

The four of you move back behind the stable, crouching behind the wall and out of sight. Mal, with a final squeeze from Kael, moves forward. Kael can sense his movement, acting nervous, feigning hunger, snuffling forward on weakened legs as if he hasn't fed in days. The dog creeps across the yard towards the house as if seeking food.

You hear a screech, and then a second. There is some language to the voices, but the words are lost. Kael senses the fear in Mal, knows that his dog has been spotted. Mal springs up on suddenly strong legs and starts to bound back towards the stable, followed by the two creatures.

Mal turns the corner beside you, and bounds past, as if wanting to make sure that you are between him and the rapidly approaching ghouls.

Two ghouls come charging round the corner. Their bodies look a bit uncoordinated, as if they are not yet comfortable with the strange warped human forms that they have taken.

OOC: Surprise round - they don't get to act, and you do. Actions please.

 

[Rhun]

Danth leaps from hiding toward the nearest ghoul, Crimson Dawn's fiery blade blazing reddish-gold like the early morning sun! The blade quickly descends on the foul undead beast with all the strength in the cleric's arm, slicing and burning flesh and muscle with terrible ease!



AC: 19, Hit Points: 31/31
(I didn't roll intitiative for surprise round)

OOC for all: Remember the +1 attack from Danth's bless spell.

Attack: 21
Daamge: 15 (9+6 fire) WOO-HOO, MAXIMUM!

Jokad lurches from cover somewhat more slowly than Danth and his swing lacks the usual vigor. His aim is true enough however as Whitefire burns a sizzling line across the startled creature's chest.


OOC: Jokad's AT will be against a different ghoul than Danth.
Init 4, Hit AC 16 for 7 total damage

Without much of a word, Kael interposes himself between the fiendish walking dead and his familiar, a pair of eldritch bolts lancing out from him to the nearest of the two foes.

Jovik steps out and slashes forward with Goblin Hook, hoping to redner at least one ghoul, re-dead before it can attack him
