Hunters Needed in the Western Heartlands (IC Thread)

[hippocrachus]

Albion stared at the dead wolf in front of him, a little surprised at his unusual percision.
That's a first... He looked around at the others in battle and decided Shadowleaf needed immediate relief the most, he circled around the wolf facing the albino and attempted a shot on the beast's flank.

[sblock=OOC]Hand Crossbow - 2 (1d4) 19x2
Sneak Attack +1d6 if he can pull off a flank[/sblock]

Recovering quickly from the poor swin, Khondar swings his hammer again, growling at the wolf when it growls at him.

Rd 2

Bringing his blade down once more against the wolf that nearly hobbled him, Shadowleaf's blade bit deeply into the wounded beast's neck killing the beast. 18 to hit vs AC?? = hit for 6 damage. Wolf dying.

Launching a dart of eldritch energy at the wolf's flank, Riley saw the impact and watched as the wolf yelped in surprise from the unexpected injury. Magic Missle cast. 4 pts of damage to the wolf.

As the wolf fell before him, Albion quickly reloaded the small crossbow and advanced towards the dwarf and the struggling woodsman. Not risking his luck a second time with being so close to the raging wolves, he positioned himself and fired the bolt at the wolf and cursed almost immediately as the wolf lunged forward as the bolt was released causing it to sink into the ground behind it. 9 total vs AC?? = miss

Bringing his hammer up once more, Khondar set his feet and as the wolf lunged forward, the dwarven priest was ready for him. The weapon impacted heavily against the wolf's skull and while the blow did not kill the beast, it did not seem to be supporting itself well. 17 total to hit vs AC?? = hit for 8 damage

Using the wolf's injury against it, Sven tried to stab down once more with his sword, but his mount seemed far more interested in getting away from the wolf than near it. Aborting his swing in mid stroke, the woodsman fought to keep control of his mount and barely succeeded. Success at Ride check, failure at hitting the wolf.

Joining his hands together, Ulrich swung them towards the wolf in front of him in a motion very similar to Khondar's strike a few feet from him. As his fists slammed home, the wolf's spine shattered from the blow and the creature fell quickly to the ground in front of him. 17 total to hit = 13 damage to the wolf. Wolf is dying.

~Rd 3~

Staggering in front of Khondar, the wolf pressed the attack once more on its unsteady legs, lunging forward weakly once more towards the dwarf. Pushing the beast away with his hammer, Khondar watched it stagger backwards for a moment and then simply collapse in front of him.

Actions? All wolves are currently dying as Khondar's wolf attacked at 0 hps and then slid into the negatives.

Albion gritted his teeth momentarily after the last wolf fell to the ground.
I thought we were supposed to be the hunters, he thought bitterly. Hunting was supposed to be about waking up early, trudging around the woods for a few futile hours, and coming back to a nice warm fire and a strong drink - not being attacked before the hunt even begins!
Albion stared at the bloodied snow by Shadowleaf's foot and considered himself lucky. The rogue stepped over to Riley and directed the young man's attention to the albino elf.
"Your friend is in need," he whispered. Riley may be a wizard, but he carried the regalia of a priest too. Maybe he was stronger than Albion gave him credit for.

"Your friend is in need," he whispered. Riley may be a wizard, but he carried the regalia of a priest too. Maybe he was stronger than Albion gave him credit for.

"I..." Riley stammered over the words. "I'm not healer; Mystra has not blessed me with those gifts." He seems honestly regretful, and a little embarrassed that there is nothing he can do for the injured elf.

 

[hippocrachus]

Maybe not.
Albion patted Riley on the shoulder to comfort him and show he didn't hold it against him.
"A good thing too. I would feel very inadequate indeed if I traveled with someone so much more powerful," he said to the young wizard quietly. "Did you all see the blast young Riley cast?" Albion said to the group in an impressed tone. Perhaps making him feel good about what he could do would let him forget Albion ever mentioned what he couldn't.
Albion left the wizard to take the compliment as he would, with humility or pride, and walked over to the albino.
"Will you survive?" Albion offered the elf his waterskin to help calm his nerves. Once the adrenalin from battle wore off, the elf was in for a shock.

"I am no healer but I will see if I can help."

OOC: Untrained Heal +2

 

[xmanii]

Glancing around, Khondar notes no more wolves are around, and then takes stock of the injuries. "Be ye needing healing, elf?" Khondar asks gruffly.

 

[Verbatim]

Looking at the bite wound on the albino's leg, Ulrich can tell that while deep it is not enough to hobble him if it was left to heal on its on. Heal check 16 vs DC 10= success

Looking down at the wound, Khondar sees that while it might fester if left to heal on its own, the elf would not be permanently lame if it was forced to heal on its on naturally.

[sblock=ooc]I have spoken with Majin offline and I know he should be coming back on the boards soon, so we will hopefully be resuming a faster pace once he returns. I will be posting XP on the OOC thread soon for you all to update your sheets with.[/sblock]

 

[Majin]

Sheathing his weapons silently as the last wolf falls Shadowleaf squints down at his wound, biting away the stinging pain. Flinching as Khondar offers aid, Shadowleaf turns sharply from the man and mutters "No," with a shudder as he moves to tend to his horse, ignoring the man from that point on.
