Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

OOC: I forgot to post the results of the confusion roll for the next round.

ROLL - Danth attacks nearest foe (same cultist as before that he did 10hp damage to), Kael attempts to flee the elf, causing him to attack the man in his way (same cultist that he already did 2hp damage to)

The man gasps and staggers back to his previous position facing Jovik. His left has moves to the wound, coming away thick with blood. He smiles then, his eyes settling upon Jovik.

"You are good, kid. It is an honour to finally fight someone with some skill. Now, let us finish this!"

He speaks calmly, with no sarcasm or irony in his voice, as if he is actually pleased to get a decent fight.

Jovik frowns a moment as he sees the elf fade from sight out of the corner of his eye. Still, he had more pressing concerns now. He wished for a moment for Jokad to be here trading blows with this guy while he slunk around the edges getting in a sly stab here and there. But here he ws, though Jovik as always had a few tricks up his sleeve, and he wasn't about to lose to this twit.

Jovik smled back at the man "Well, I have no skill really, I am no trained warrior like yourself. " says Jovik making a futile stab back at the man.

Init order: Justice Ironbriar (26), Cultists (22), Kael (22), Jovik (20), Danth (19), Bodyguard (9), Jokad (running to catch up - next round he is back). Initiative rolls for the baddies.

Justice Ironbriar, still invisible, appears to have well and truly disappeared.

The two cultists facing Danth and Kael both slash and block, but their attacks are ineffective, and despite the effects of the confusion spells, both of our heroes manage to easily turn the blows of the war razors away.

Under the sway of a fearful magic, Kael swings his quarterstaff wildly at one of the cultists in his attempts to flee the now invisible elf, but he misses.

Danth too finds his attack blocked, his flaming scimitar turned away, sending sparks dancing as it strikes against the handrail on the stairs.

Down below you finally see Jokad turning the corner as he comes up the stairs. He still has some distance to cover, but the two cultists behind the two who are attacking you hear the barbarian coming and turn to face him.

OOC: Jokad still needs to make a move next turn to reach them, so only a standard attack will be possible - not a full attack!

Off to one side, Jovik and the body guard are locked in combat. Jovik hears the approach of Jokad and smiles. The tide of the battle may be turning, although the young rogue is concerned about just where the elf has gone. He doubts the man has fled, since the tide of battle just moments ago seemed to be with the enemies.

Jovik doesn't have much time for thought though, and tries to feint and dive in with a wicked blow, but the bearded man before him turns the attack easily away, and then using the momentum he has gained slashes his longsword along the side of Jovik, causing a thick gash to open up on his left side. Jovik felt the sword grate against his ribs as it sliced into him, and he grunts in primal pain.

The man swings again, but despite the pain Jovik manages to turn the blade away, before regaining his poise and fronting up to the man again. They face each other for a few seconds.

"Perhaps you are right" the man offers.

OOC: 9hp damage to Jovik

Suddenly Mal growls. It senses something close!!! The elf is near.

OOC: Initiatives and actions for next round please! Jokad too please, but remember the comment above.
 

Jokad charges up the stairs like an enraged bull; shield leading and Whitefire arched back over his right shoulder for a devasting downward chop. The blow never has a chance to land however as the rash shoanti youth underestimated the height of the overhang above. A splinters of wood and sawdust explode upon his targets but the momentum of the blow is stolen.


OOC: Grrr.... back to my stone cold dice, another '1' on my attack. INIT 14
Roll Lookup

AC 19, HPs: 47/55
 

Jovik smiles "Yes, but there is one fact you haven't factored in. I am not your main threat." says Jovik listening to the havoc of Jokad makin his way up the stairs. With that Jovik rolls away from the swordman.

Init
1d20+4=15

Tumble
1d20+15=29

Tumble at full speed = 30 ft OUT of his threatened squares so DC 25 and get away from him, in his armor he shoudl only move 20 ft.

Then for my standard action, I will activate the key using the False Life property for 10+ caster level of temp HP. I am not sure how many it will grant in that case.

Init order: Danth (21), Kael (20), Jovik (15), Cultists (14), Jokad (14), Justice Ironbriar (7), Bodyguard (4)

Danth follows up his prior, savage attack on the same man who blocks his path to freedom. His scimitar swipes a deep gash across the man's neck, and he falls heavily to the floor. (OOC: dead)

With a panicked zeal, Kael tries to fight his way through the cultist before him, knowing that he must flee the elf, and it shows in the ferocity of his staff attack. The man he faces reels back, clutching his damaged gut with his free hand (OOC: -6hp to the mildly damaged cultist, -8hp in total)

OOC: FOR FENRIS: I thought you could only tumble half speed through and occupied square. Am I wrong? Tumble :: d20srd.org
That would sort of invalidate what you are trying to do, right? If I am right, then feel free to alter and post a new action with new rolls (init stays the same). If I am wrong - let me know and I will update this post.

Rest to follow after Fenris responds.
