(IC) A Hard Time in Harrowdale

[Arkhandus]

End combat

The fight........is already over. Evanar tries to cut down the beast that rattled him, but he's too shaky right now to connect. Abde'ragman, however, moves to get a bead on where the critter is, and invokes a spell before it can strike at Evanar. The beast snarls and tries to shake off the sudden drowsiness that overtakes it, then collapses and falls asleep at Evanar's feet, despite its desire to kill the prey.

Fayne moves in and, hesitating, takes the time to prepare a better strike, Evanar recovering from his momentary fear and helping out. They execute the fallen beast before Abde'ragman's spell might wear off.
[sblock=ooc]I rolled a total of 10 for the krenshar's save against Sleep. So I'm assuming Fayne and Evanar deliver a coup de grace next round instead of Fayne attacking it normally this round.

I considered having it be a small pride of krenshars, but decided that would probably be too much at this point and would take too long. 35 XP for everyone.[/sblock]

"Correlon above us! We.. We should get back to the city. Before more things try to - the Elven lass swallowed uneasily - eat us." She still stood in her place, bow at the side, and fiddle in her hand.

"Dear merciful mother, I am useless aren't i. This is nothing like in the legends!" The girl mumbled as she regarded Evanar with new found respect.

"You, you are really adept ad combat Evanar. When we get to safety and have the time to chat, i should like to hear more of you. Such skill promises a bright future indeed."

Abby smiled slyly, her green eyes gleaming - perhaps this was all she was good at, falunting her beauty and getting under men's skins.

Thoughts of skins reminded her of the horrific creatures that had just attacked them. "Uh yes, why don't we really get on our way then.. Please, someone carry the lad we can't risk waiting for him to regain consciousness."

[sblock]Arakhandus thanks for not paying serious heed to my little rant back there BTW Abby does not have a use of Bardic Music left... She used it when we fought the stirges if i remember correctly [/sblock]

Evenar just shrugs at Abby's kind words, his face still pale from what he just saw. He silently resheaths his sword and picks the lad up and fireman carries him, headed down thepath they arrived from. he doesn't even speak a sigle word the whole trip.

[sblock=A thank you] thanks for the coup de grace. that was exactly what i would have wanted![/sblock]

Fayne cleans the blade of his glaive, and gives the fallen predator at last glance. Then he he moves to rejoin the others as they head out and move back to town.

[sblock=OOC]
Yes, Fayne would have switched to coup de gras on the helpless foe. Thank you.

[Voda Vosa]

The wizard pulls his cloak over himself. "And the beast falls under might and magic." The calishite pass by the krenshar and looks at it with distaste. "Horrible evil creatures, they deserved what they got."

 

[Myth and Legend]

"What are they? They look positively hideous." Abrielle asked as she removed a spider webbing from her precious hair.

 

[Rhun]

"They are simple predators, probably drawn here by the smell of blood," says Fayne. "I doubt there is any more evil to them than there is to a bear or cougar." The warrior shrugs and turns to regard the rest of the group. "Are we quite ready to move out?"

 

[Scott DeWar]

Evenar grunts his response. (his move is 20 if the boy weighs less then 112 lb. and he is med. encumbered)

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Indeed I am ready to get out of this woods. And about the nature of this things, I'm not sure an ordinary bear can take the skin off..." Abderagman says as he stride out of the gnoll camp.

 

[Rhun]

"True enough, Calishite," says Fayne, leaving the camp. He looks at Evanar. "If you can carry the boy, I will take point. Just let me know if you need to rest." With that, the grim warrior leads the group back toward the road.
