[IC] Halfling Quest - Rooting Around
- Thread starter Ferrix
- Start date
Kiylea's sharp ears train on something moving directly ahead and to the left, although she can't make anything out, she is sure something is almost ontop of them and then it happens. A dark shape slips out through the light and heads straight for Alton, before he even notices the creature a wicked-looking sickle-like weapon slips between the bands of his armor and gauges a deep wound across his side. He can feel his side warm with the flow of blood and he hears a horrible sneer of pleasure from the black-hooded figure.
Whatever the creature is, it wears a hooded-black cloak and stands only as tall as Alton, but it moves with a frightening grace.

Alton groans as the creature's blade sinks into his side. He is sickened both by the shock of the wound and by the sneering evil of his assailant. Then anger burns within him and he cries out, "Foul fiend - feel the Goddess' wrath!" He swings his longsword in an arc at his assailant's head.

Kiylea gasps. She'd expected another demonic beast to leap out of the darkness at them, not a... a.... person?! Her bow comes up but she can't help hesitating briefly. She's a huntress, not a warrior - never have her weapons been used against anything other than forest creatures. Hopefully her hand won't be too shaky the first time.

Bubbles leaps into the fray with a yell. "Be careful! Alton's hit!" She raises both swords over her head and brings them crashing down onto the attacker.
ooc: Two attacks, +5/+4, 1d4+1 damage, Crit 19-20x2. I think that's right. BAB +1, Dex +4, Size +1, one attack w/ Masterwork sword +1, -2/-2 two weapon fighting.

Kiylea's arrow flies free from the bow and the hooded creature contorts itself unnaturally to avoid being skewered by the shaft, as if by a sixth sense the arrow tears through the robe and perhaps some flesh but continues on into the darkness where it clatters against the wall.
The snarl that escapes its lips however is no mistake, realizing it is outnumbered and outmatched the hooded figure flings something down upon the ground amongst you and a burst of light flashes, and it is gone into the darkness. Although most of you in the front ranks manage to avert your gaze, Bubbles is not so lucky and her sight takes a moment to return.
Whatever it is that is out there, it knows you are here, and you wounded it.

Cursing as an opportunity missed, Jerran quickly reverses the grip on his dagger, but holds back from the melee. He watches the fight, trying to avoid getting in the way of the trained warriors, but ready to step in should either need to retreat. Then when the creature suddenly vanished, he blinks in the sudden light.
"Where'd it go?"

Bubbles crunches up her face in anger. "Where'd you go!?! Come back and fight like a warrior!" She takes a few careful steps into the darkeness, careful to stay in the light. "Alton, are you okay? That looked like a wicked blow." The concern in her voice is obvious, but her words still tremble with anger at the creature.

Hey what was that - Hey you! come back here. Alton are you okay? erm.. He must be able to see in the dark -
Eddie will listen closely and fire at any sound from the darkness, other than a voice.

"What... what was it?" Kiylea shudders, remembering how the thing twisted out of her arrow's path. "Did anyone get a good look? It fought with a weapon - like a halfling." She moves forward and quickly checks Alton's wound. "You okay to go on? Do we follow it?"
