[IC] Stealthy Missions: Prologue

OOC: I haven't written crossbow down on my char sheet, but I do have one right? (an ordinary one) so if Orland doesn't charge, I'll shoot the ogre too (base ranged). After my first Shot, I yell: "Orland: Charge him, you take one side, I'll take the other!"
And get my rapier out and ready an action when he charges.

Orland drops his crossbow and grabs both rapiers from where they're stabbed into the ground as he moves to engage the ogre. Seeing Timothy has the initiative he will try to move into a flanking position when his turn comes.

"Hey ogre, didn't you listen to Jimmy, we're the raven claw clan", Orland chuckles.


OOC: Timothy, you should really be trying to get inside the ogre's reach seeing as you've won initiative, unless of course you enjoy attacks of opportunity and dislike sneak attacks ;)
 

OOC: Stupid me, The ogre is flatfooted now! Disregard my previous post.

IC: Timothy picks up his Rapier and charges the ogre, who is too surprised to act, Timothy tries to stick his rapier into the heart of the ogre, before he acts too. Then Timopthy yells for Orlando to charge too.
 

"You can still surrender!"
If they don't show any signs of surrendering, James delivers a flying kick to the closest orc, jumping over the trunk.
 

Timothy charges from the darkness of the forest and catches the ogre completely by surprise. He tries to hit the ogre's heart but misses by few inches, but still sinks his rapier into the ogre's chest. The ogre stagges back few steps, but even though it is seeminly heavily wounded, it keeps up and roars in pain.

The robe-orc's eyes widen at the sight at Timothy's ogre-bashing, but he seems to recover from the shock and sprints towards the ogre. Chanting something and waving his hands, the robe-orc touches the backing ogres back. The ogre stops in it's tracks, the blood stops pouring from it's chest, and it lowers it's now much clearer gaze to Timothy.

The tail-man runs from the forest, his almost black rapier drawn, passes James and shouts: "Forget the damn diplomacy!" He jumps over the tree trunk while running, charging past the 2-axes-orc, heading towards the orc that was hit by his dagger. The still screaming orc's voice turns to incomprehensible gurgling as the tail-man slits it's throat with one horizontal strike. Electric surges run through the orc, making it twitch unnaturally, and it collapses to it's back.

The other (now grataxe wielding) orc next to the tail-man shouts and swings it's axe in a mighty swim at the tail-man. The orc's attack is interrupted by your guide's swing towards the orc which forces it to interrupt the attack or lose half of it's face.

The ogre seems to be regaining it's strength quickly, and it let's out a tremendous roar. It's eyes seem to lose all that there was left of human-like intelligence, and turn into those of a raving monster. Somehing else seems to be happening to the ogre also, as all of it's muscles swell. The ogre charges at Timothy, roaring manically, and basically jumps at him. Having really no chance of stopping the charging, muscular, at least 500-pound raging mass jumping at him, Timothy gets tacled by the ogre to the ground. The ogre closes it's hand around Timothys rapier-hand and shoulder, pushing him to the ground, still roaring. (OOC: You're grappled :D)

Running after Timothy, Orland notices that something has gone terribly wrong as it seems like Timothy is already in a "slightly" bad position, Orland thrusts his rapier to the ogre's shoulder. The orge reacts like being bitten by a bug and roars again, turning it's raging eyes to Orland. (OOC: Just though that you might want to help Timothy instead of "flanking" the ogre, as it's not possible anymore. Just correct me if you want to do something else.)

Seeing that the fight is already raging fully, James tries to perform the flying kick at the 2-axes-orc. He delivers a devastating hit at the orc's shoulder, as the orc fails to dodge. The orc isn't finished this easily though, and it swings it's axes at James, it's first swing missing his head by mere inches. But distracted by the first swing, James fails to notice the other axe closing at his chest. The axe slices through his clothes and connects the flesh benath, cleaving a nice cut at James's chest. Fortunately for James, he managed to back of so that the axe didn't cleave but the surface, and the wound isn't deep enough to be anywhere near fatal. The orc grins, triumphtantly.

OOC: I changed the HP calculation to max at first level, and 0.75 at levels after that. James just lost 8 HP.

This has to be the longest post I have ever written here. :eek: *Note to self: Sneak attacks do scary amounts of damage.*

Say hello to my "little" friend... :D

OoC: Did you remember that the ogre loses its Dex bonus to AC when grappling?

IC: "Now I need to get somebody to fix my suit! You stupid orc, this was expensive!"
James unleashes a barrage of three punches at the orc's face.
 


Orland wastes no time trying to join the grapple with the obviously stronger ogre but instead unleashes a full attack on it whilst it is focused on grappling Timothy.

Orland calls out to Timothy, "Hang on there lad, did'na noone tell you not to wrestle with folk bigger than yerself?"
 

Paniting haevily and obviously not happy with the situation Timothy Calls Back

"Ah, but a hero's got to do what a hero's got to do."

Only difference is I'd rather be a live Coward then a dead hero!
He thinks.
 

The robe-orc mumbles again, and this time two identical copies of him appear. They then pass through the "real" robe-orc, making it kind of a hard to know which one of them is the real anymore. The three then form a triangular formation, one "orc" watching at a different direction.

The tail-man spins around and slits the other greataxe-orc's throat too, and it also falls to the ground, gurgling.

The ogre, still holding Timothy, raises Timothy up into the air and merrily (or not) tosses him towards Orland. Fortunately for Orland, he manages to dodge the flying Timothy, who falls to the ground behind him. (Note to self: Ogres are not good in ranged combat.)

After dodging Timothy, Orland closes in and delivers three strokes at the ogre. First only scratches it's gigantic hand, second almost pierces it's throat, and the third sinks in it's stomach. The ogre staggers backwards, holding the wound near it's throat, but still doesn't fall. (You almost got 2 criticals, you lucky bastard.)

James's first punch hits the 2-axes-orc in the face, and you can hear a small crunch. The second attack misses because of the orcs movement away from him, and the third punch is stopped by orc's axe's flat side.

The orc spits couple of teeth from it's mouth, and again swings it's axes towards James. The first one, which already stopped James's last blow, changes it's course and scratches James's shoulder. The second aims to the head, but James manages to dodge the sharp end and gets hit by the orc's fist connecting to his temple.


OOC: Timothy takes 4 points of subdual damage. James takes total of 8 points of damage.

And again, sorry about the long delay. I'm probably quite busy this week also.
