Kushnak shrugs to adjust his armor and places himself next to Eskard. As they near the other travelers, he silently salutes them in greeting.
IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part IV
- Thread starter Dichotomy
- Start date
As you get closer to the travelers, they pull their cart off the north side of the road. Not only does it give you room to pass without leaving the road, but it also gives them a reprieve from hauling.
Despite the party's overall wariness, excluding Erdolliel, the trio (though wearing studded leather armor, which is not shocking) seems pleasant enough. They rest against the cart. The human male returns Kushnak's salute, in rather sloppy fashion, and the woman next to him slaps his arm, muttering something about how he's no soldier.
However, while the group appears to be at their ease, Eskard and Erdolliel (despite the elf's complacent attitude) notice the trio each quickly fishing out hand crossbows. Erdolliel reacts quickly to the sudden threat.
[sblock=OOC]Your sense motive checks all failed. Erdolliel and Eskard make their spot checks to notice them Sleight-of-Handing their hand x-bows. So R and S can both act in the surprise round. The rest of you have to wait until the normal round.
1 is the man, 2 is the woman, 3 is the dwarf. The "blob" is the cart, which provides cover as a "low wall."

"DWARVES!" Eskard shouts as he moves to the dwarf.
[sblock=oc]Draw while spring attacking 3; + 11 / 2d6+7. (i think i can do that) End movement 15' east of 2. if not, move to closest square for 3, and draw. In either case, dodge against 3 if he's still standing at the end of my turn, 2 otherwise[/sblock]

"Foolish humans! You just don't know who to leave alone do you?" Erdolliel chides as she attacks the man.[sblock=oc]Draw while spring attacking 1; +7/1d8+3 I would like to move to just south of the cart. Did Neth take my boots? I suppose it's not after the first day yet... Move to 10' S of where 1 is now.[/sblock]
[sblock=OOC]Blast... I talked to Ti via phone about his action... Only afterward did I realize that I think o3 has the same problem.
The rules are explicit, but I THINK that you cannot spring attack during a surprise round. The feat is unclear, but it says "When using the attack action." I don't think it is meant to allow you to move as part of the attack action, rather it simply dictates how you can move if you take the attack action. Yes? In that case, since you are limited to partial actions in a surprise round, I don't think you can spring attack. Ti already told me what he wanted to do, but I figured since it was a multi-problem, might be better to address it this way.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Aha, it is only my subscription page that is broken. Kushnak's gonna kill the dwarves when he gets to go.[/sblock]
Erdolliel closes in toward the enemy, throwing her taunt on the way.
The man responds, "It's YOU who didn't know to leave well-enough alone!" He focuses on Kushnak and fires. Erdolliel takes advantage of the opening to get in a jab. And the man's bolt harmless bounces off of the half-orc cleric's armor.
The woman, without a word, also fires at Kushnak. Her aim is true. She even seems to hit a sensitive spot, and blood begins to flow.
"Yeah," the dwarf taunts, firing as well. "Boss had Diamond Lake locked down 'til you bastards came in!" Apparently the taunting is too distracting for the enemy, as the dwarf's shot also fails to get by Kushnak's armor.
Eskard, shouting, moves next to the dwarf.
[sblock=OOC]Erdolliel: moves while drawing; dodge against 1

Erdolliel: AoO, 13+ hit, 5 damage

3: shoots K, 4+ miss
Eskard: moves while drawing; dodge against 3
I made an assumption regarding Eskard's move. Let me know if that is not what you wanted.
Surprise round over.
