[IC] Halfling Quest - Rooting Around

[Boddynock]

Alton steps to the side so that he and Bubbles face one another over the boar's back. Drawing a shuddering breath, he swings his sword aloft and calls on Yondalla. "Goddess, guide my arm. So may all evil perish from your earth!" Then the shining blade descends, flashing in a deadly arc towards the vicious, blood-stained beast.

OOC: 5 foot step to flank boar with Bubbles, followed by Smite evil attack +10 (+1 BAB +1 STR bonus +1 size bonus +1 Weapon focus(longsword) +1 inspire courage bonus +2 flanking bonus +3 CHA bonus from smite evil), longsword, 1d6+2 (1d6 +1 STR bonus +1 smite evil bonus), 19-20/x2, slashing.

Umm Sword, right sword Eddie struggles with pulling his sword and to get to the boar at the same time.
Hold on Kiylea, just a few moments longer…. Hee Ya! back off stupid Piggy !
ooc: draw weapon as move action, then partial charge: +2 w/charge +4 (1d4+1)
If the charge fails he will just wave his sword about threateningly

Bubbles Greenbottle

Jumping to the side Bubbles narrowly avoids the razor sharp tusks of the enraged boar. Gathering her feet beneath her she crouches low with her short swords extended towards the boar, just as her brother Finn had taught her. She waits for her moment to strike and lashes out with both weapons.

(ooc) Attack with both Shortswords, should be +3 to Hit with both. (/ooc)

 

[hafrogman]

Realizing that he has no chance of hitting the boar while it's tussling around with Bubbles and Alton, Jerran prepares to drop down from the tree.

[ooc - not sure what kind of movement that is, and of how far up I am. If it's too far to jump safely, he'll put away his crossbow [move action] and start climbing down. If he can drop safely, he'll do so, drop the crossbow and draw a dagger.]

 

[ender_wiggin]

Ringly bites down on his lip to stop from cursing, seeing that his daze spell is useless on the animal. Thinking quickly, he quickly reaches into his pocket, his lips already beginning the opening incantations of ghost sound.

Perhaps if the animal were distracted enough, it would give the others enough time to get Kiylea out of the way...

[OOC: casting ghost sound about 5 or 10 feet behind the animal.]

Near Midnight

Round 3

Drawing his sword, Eddie moves up cautiously to defend Kiylea, the boar is too distracted however by Kiylea and Alton to react. Jerran drops nimbly from the tree, sets his crossbow upon the ground and draws his dagger in a single smooth motion, directly opposite Eddie. Bubbles brandishes her short swords, thrusting a quickly with one followed by the other. She misjudges the first stab and it just scrapes along the creatures tough hide, but her second one strikes true jabbing a deep wound into the creatures side.

Ringly, despite favoring his ankle, goes through the gestures of a simple spell flawlessly and a burst of raucous noise, like four humans tramping up behind the boar (opposite Bubbles) causes it to leap forward a little bit. Alton takes advantage of the creatures fright, channeling the power of his goddess the sharp smell of Veryl's forge fills the air for a moment, and his blade sinks deep into the boar with a hiss as if the blade was hot.

The boar squeals in pain and anger, it rushes Alton in an desperate attempt to break free from the enclosing ring of halflings and the supposed arrival of a whole slew of larger opponents. In its haste however, it opens itself up and Jerran makes a swift stab at the creature puncturing deep into its ribcage. Despite a blow that would have brought down most grown men, it bullrushes Alton backwards. He stumbles over the sweet potatoes they had laid out as bait, but does not fall. Free from the circle, the boar darts away, hoping to make it to the forest.

[hafrogman]

Nimbly reversing his dagger grip, Jerran steps forward and hurls the blade at the retreating boar.

[close to 10' and throw +6 attack, 1d3 dmg, 19-20/x2 crit. includes inspire courage bonuses.]

 

[Boddynock]

"Damn! Don't let it reach the trees!" Alton regains his balance after the boar's rush pushes him backwards, and moves purposefully towards Kiylea.

"Bubbles, you, Jerran and Eddie kill that thing. Be careful, though - it's not natural. Ringly, take a shot if you can - but then I need you here."

Moving adjacent to Kiylea, Alton drops to his knees, scanning her wounds. Already his hands are busy ripping up bandages from his cloak.

OOC: Move 25 feet (double move), ready to perform a Heal check at +5 next round. ender_wiggin, can you perform an aid another check next round, please?

 

[ender_wiggin]

"Forget the boar! Look at the blood...good lord..."

Getting the sling out would be take much too long. Besides, I haven't used it in ages...

Ringly, recognizing Alton's superior experience in the matter, sets down to help him to the best of his ability.

 

[Evilhalfling]

Eddie takes a deep breath to steady himself, waiting an instant for Jerrans throw, If Jerran kept to the trees, both Bubbles and I should be able to charge it, Eddie to the square directly behind it. If Jerran is in the way then Eddie will stay in the trees, jogging if possible (x3) trying to keep the boar out in the open. Ooc delay until 20. If attacking +5 (1d4+2) (courage and charge bonuses)
