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

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel nimbly skirts next to the mad woman while drawing her sword. The elf waits for an opening.

Kushnak, knowing what's in store, drops his crossbow and picks up his sword.

The raging humanoid takes advantage of the opening and jabs her dagger right into Kushnak's neck. Blood begins to pour out from the nasty wound.

Kushnak, slightly pale, strikes back with his sword. While he hits, he doesn't do nearly as much with his huge sword as she did with her dagger.

As Eskard begins to move, Erdolliel strikes with her sword. The elf connects, and more blood flows.

The half-orc barbarian growls as he moves in. He makes a strong, but wild swing that misses the mark.

Bazrim moves back and fires his wand yet again.

The woman, sensing weakness, or perhaps merely sensing blood, lashes out with both daggers. Her second strike makes it through Kushnak's armor, and the cleric begins to look badly off.

Nethezar does what he can to get next to Kushnak, but it takes too long for him to get there to do anything else.

Erdolliel deftly moves to flank the woman with Kushnak, using the beast's distraction to her own advantage.[sblock=oc]Tumble at full speed N and then E so that I am due N of the woman. Attack with sword +6 1d8+3, my dodge bonus is still on #3 AC for AoO's is 22. 18 otherwise.[/sblock]

"Ah, a worthy opponent it seems. Let's finish her, girl," Kushnak states to the rogue. We waits for Erdolliel to move into position before striking the thing again.

[sblock=ooc]Power attack 2. still +7 with flanking, 2d6+8.[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Bazrim fires his wand again.
[sblock=ooc]MM #3 yet again[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Reseting his feet, Eskard attacks again.

[sblock=oc]Atk 3(PA for 2): +1 Greatsword, +9, 2d6+14[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Kushnak and Erdolliel team up to attack the raging woman.

The elf attempts to tumble around, but loses her footing in the debris. The savage humanoid strikes Erdolliel as she slips.

Still taken aback by the blow, Erdolliel's sword slides off the foe's leather armor.

Kushnak's strike, however, is true. He carves a wound in her to rival the one she gave him.

Eskard, still full of fury, brings his sword to bear again. This time, he cleaves the mad woman's head clear off. Her dead form slumps to the ground.

For the moment, all seems quiet.

Erdolliel gives a quick nod at the corpse before gathering up her rope and trying again to throw it over the bridge.

 

[michael_noah]

Kushnak breaths a sigh of relief before collecting himself. Wiping his sword off on the armor of the fallen foe, he draws his wand to heal the party.

[sblock=ooc]Use as many charges as necessary to get everyone to 3 damage or less.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Kushnak and Nethezar both use their wands to heal the more wounded members of the group.

Meanwhile, Erdolliel throws her rope up to catch the rope bridge above. After a couple of tries, she is able to get it over. After a strong tug, it seems like the bridge will be able to hold the weight, but it may be best to proceed slowly.
[sblock=OOC]We can split the charges evenly.

Status
Kushnak: 2 damage (4 charges)
Erdolliel: 3 damage (1 charge)
Eskard: 3 damage
Bazrim: 3 damage
Nethezar: 2 damage (1 charge)[/sblock]

"You think they would see the trail of.....dead......we are leaving and realize that attacking us leaves them in an unpleasant state." Remarks Bazrim as he looks over the pile of bodies and shakes his head. He then waits, until most of the others are up to make his trip on the rope.
