[IC] The Protectors of Greensfen (Part II)

[nerdytenor]

Blay is up

Rellek continues his assault, managing to do some additional damage to the wall. Kraegyn lashes out ineffectually at the warforged leader as he lays down his challenge from Kord. Karis tries to sneak over to the other opening from the nearby room, but makes a bit too much noise in the process. Nevertheless, her dagger manages to hit the leader, drawing what looks like string or wire dangling from its arm.

[Bramble]

They appeared to be at a standoff with the soldiers across the bar, keeping most of the party pinned while they exchanged fire, and leaving Kraegyn and Karis alone with the intimidating looking Warforged. It looked bleak, but what use is a bard if not to keep spirits high in the face of bad odds?

Keeping his head low as he brushed by Joshua and Rellek, Blay moved closer to Kraegyn, until he close enough to call out to him.

"Don't worry about us, Kraegyn! These scoundrels are on their last legs I think!" Encouraged Blay. Now he turned to face the soldiers he had referenced, searching for the one he had insulted before. Finding him, he points an accusatory finger and releases his vicious invective, more deadly than any arrow!

"Looking at your face, I feel very sorry for you. But I feel even worse for everyone in this building. After all, they have to look at it!"

[nerdytenor]

Blay's silvery tongue bolsters the mighty Kraegyn (OOC: heals sv +13 = 16 to full, adds 3 tmp hp from feat), but the harsh words he has for one of the soliders fails to have the desired effect (OOC: 13 = miss)
OOC: Next update late this evening - the bad guys are up

"Someone kill that blasted dagger thrower", the leader yells mechanically. One of the soldiers gets up from behind the bar and just manages to dodge a magic missile from Joshua as he does so. He leaps over the table, halberd in hand. The other soldiers bring their crossbows to bear against Blay, but both of them miss.

Meanwhile, the warforged continue their attack against Kraegyn, the leader answering the divine challenge with a challenge of his own, penetrating the dragonborn's defenses (OOC 12 damage). The other forged scores a powerful blow as well, easily slashing through armor. (OOC 12 damage)

[sblock=Mechanical Details]
h3 rolls athletics check +2 = 13, clearing both squares of table with a running start.

h2 and h1 attack blay: +8 vs AC (-2 from cover, +1 leader)
16 = MISS
13 = MISS

Leader attacks Kraegyn
+12 vs AC (+1 from ally adjacent to target) = 22, just enough (again) - 2d4+5 = 12 damage. Marked

Soldier shifts, 5h3n attacks Kraegyn
+10 vs AC (+1 from leader) = 28 HIT. 1d8+4 = 12 damage.

[Arbanax]

Rellek took a moment to steady his aim, clearly he was more rattled than he might care to admit since he had only suceeded in missing so far.

[Sblock=crunch]

Ok I a m going to do careful attack against my quarry - emphasis on quality of quantity here...

Roll 1= 19 (at last) Damage = 12

[/sblock]

As the arrow struck true Rellek, breathed a quick prayer of thanks.

Ab

 

[The Digger]

"Those soldiers are becoming tiresome" Joshua sounded more bored than worried as he gestured with his staff and made a faint zzzzzzzz'ing sound.

"Ecce Somnose!" A slight 'puff' was heard and an ethereal sort of cloud expanded from between the soldiers.

[sblock=OOC]Sleep vs Will of h1, h2, h3. 11, 22, 9
Roll Lookup [/sblock]

 

[nerdytenor]

Rellek's sense of relief is short lived as the solider plucks the arrow from his armor, no blood apparent on the tip. (OOC: Your attack bonus is +5 (base with bow), +2 bonus from careful attack, +1 for prime shot, and -2 for cover, or +6 altogether, which makes it a 16, a miss. ).

Joshua's spell takes hold almost immediately, injecting lugubriosness into the soldiers movements as if they were fighting in a pool of taffy. One of the soldiers seems particularly wearied by its effects (OOC: miss h1 and h3, hit h2)

OOC: Soldiers were not prone after last round, my bad - no changes required, though.

[covaithe]

Karis ducks out of sight for a moment. She waits a heartbeat, then steps back to the window and hurls her dagger again.

[sblock=actions]Move to O7. Not sure if you want a stealth check or not since she has total concealment from WL at this point, but here's one anyway: 26.
Standard: Deft strike vs. WL, moving back to N7 first. Hits AC 25 for 19 damage, assuming that the stealth + window is good enough to give her CA.

"Ok, the gloves are coming off for real this time!" Proclaims Blay loudly, after wincing from the two bolts that had just narrowly missed him. He locks his previous target with a steely glare, and hisses forth the the most vile vituperation he can think of.

"I know you're not as stupid as you look. Nobody could be! But then, what is MY opinion compared to thousands of others to the contrary?"

Vicious invective delivered, Blay decides to not to tempt any more crossbow bolts and hits the floor. Glancing over at Kraegyn he see's the big dragonborn still struggling with the warforged. He knew Kraegyn couldn't stand alone for long against them. They needed to take care of these soldiers quick.

"Keep up the good work, Kraegyn! We're almost done here!"

[sblock=occ]Standard = Vicious Mockery against soldier 1, +5 vs. Will, 1d6+4 damage
minor = going prone
minor = 2nd and last majestic word to Kraegyn, he gets hs+3 health back, shifts to O4[/sblock]
