IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part I

[Dichotomy]

Boldak moves forward toward the green light. Just after he leaves the torchlight, the room opens wider. However, the dwarf doesn't get a chance to examine it in any greater detail, as he suddenly finds three wolves growling at him.

The first wolf rushes Boldak, takes a gouge out of the dwarf's leg with a bite, and throws him to the ground.

[sblock=OOC]Wolf 1: partial charge B; attack 16+5=21, hit; 6 damage; trip attempt 12+1=13, resist 2+1=3, trip succeeds

Status & Init
Wolf 1 (20):
Boldak (12; won re-roll over Trenton): 7 damage; tripped
Trenton (12): 1 damage; 1 STR damage; surprised
Alexis (11): 1 damage; surprised
Wolf 2 (9; won re-roll over 3):
Wolf 3 (9):
Breth (8): surprised

After Boldak goes, the other two wolves will get actions in the surprise round, then we'll start at the top of the order.[/sblock]

Boldak growls back at the wolf, "Get off me, you mutt," while attempting to stand and better defend himself.

[sblock=OOC]He'll stand up...[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

As Boldak stands back on his feet, the leading wolf snips at him again, but misses this time.

The other two wolves close with Boldak and take positions on either side fo the dwarf.

The lead wolf again tries to bite Boldak, but the dwarf easily evades.

[sblock=OOC]Boldak: stands up; AoO 5+3=8, miss
Wolves 2 and 3 move to flank
Suprise round over
Wolf 1: attacks B, 7+3=10, miss (that was 1's action for the first real round)

Boldak (12): 7 damage

"Flee ridden mongrels! Get this one off me, fools!" Boldak screams to noone in particular. He dodges away from the wolves, manuevering to find an opening for a sword thrust around their snapping jaws.

[sblock=ooc]5' step NW, ready to attack #2 when it's flanked (or before it goes, if noone flanks it)[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Alexis nearly stumbles at the sounds in the darkness ahead of her. "Boldak.... Hold on."

She draws her morning star and charges in the direction of battle.

As her torchlight reaches the scene shock and horror flash across her face; she shouts back to her companions "He needs our help.... NOW"

[sblock=ooc]Alexis draws her morning star and moves 20ft north.[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Trenton waits a moment until he can see what he's faced with. Once he recognizes the immages he's fought before on the farm, a grin grows across his face. He rushes to the nearest wolf and takes a great swing with his scythe at it.
[sblock=ooc]Trenton delays until he can see what is going on. That would be right after Alexis moves. He then charges wolf #3. +5 2d4 x4. I will also take my dodge bonus against wolf #3[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Calling to the others, Boldak steps to the side of a wolf and waits to strike.

Waiting for the torchlight to show his foes, Trenton pauses momentarily while Alexis draws her morningstar and moves forward. Then Trenton rushes into the fray with his scythe swinging. Unfortunately, his swing goes askew from his momentum and is well wide of the mark.

The wolf near Boldak circles to the side of the dwarf and bits him hard in the side. Unable to handle the loss of blood, Boldak collapses to the floor.

The wolf near Trenton tries to strike at him, but his attempted bite meets nothing but air.

[sblock=OOC]Boldak: 5-foot step NW; ready
Trenton: delays
Alexis: draws morningstar; moves 20 feet north
Trenton: stops delaying; charges 3, 1!, auto miss
Boldak: ready triggers; attack 2, 18+3=21, hit; 3 damage
Wolf 2: 5-foot step NW; attacks B (not smart enough to ready) 14+3=17, hit; 6 damage; B drops
Wolf 3: 5-foot step; attacks T, 4+3=7, miss

Since Breth is last, I figured I'd post now.

Status & Init
Wolf 1:
Alexis: 1 damage
Trenton: 1 damage; 1 STR damage; dodge bonus vs 3
Boldak: 13 damage; unconscious
Wolf 2: 3 damage
Wolf 3:
Breth:[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Breth holds up his hand and bolt of pure force flies from his fingertip and strikes the same wolf that bit Boldak. He then walks closer to the fray.

[sblock=ooc]Magic Missle and then move 30 feet north.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Breth shows his magical prowess again. This time a bolt of forces flies from him an unerringly strikes the wolf that just dropped Boldak.

The lead wolf circles wide to catch Trenton on the opposite side. But, even while dividing his focus between the two wolves, the warrior just barely manages to avoid the gnashing teeth attempting to tear him apart.

[sblock=OOC]Breth: magic missle 2; 3 damage; moves 30 feet north
Wolf 1: moves to flank (stays far enough away to not provoke an AoO); attacks T, 11+5=16, miss (close one)

Wolf 1:
Alexis: 1 damage
Trenton: 1 damage; 1 STR damage; dodge bonus vs 3
Boldak: 13 damage; unconscious
