Message: <blockquote data-quote="doghead" data-source="post: 3891997" data-attributes="member: 8243">ic - UnderdogsUrthe considers Assaq's question for a moment.[sblock=Speak Trader]"We know little of the grell. Their lands are not near our lands. They are brave warriors. Like us, they prefer actions to ...[/sblock]The gnoll behind Urthe's left shoulder growls, interrupting Urthe. He begins to speak, rasing his arm as if to point. An arrow sprouts from his throat. He grunts in surprise. Blood sprays the ground in front of him. An second arrow flashes past.Urthe snarls something in her native tongue. A bolt sprouts from the leg of the other gnoll, followed shortly by an arrow which clips his shoulder.From the forest behind Adokul, Assaq, Ershe and Mogro emerge four grell bearing bows and a crossbow - Washi, Kornah, Wormis and Borthi. They are from Horak krel. They are all part of Urshak's circle of supporters. Washi is one of Urshak's lieutenants. She is not a front line fighter, she prefers to put the blade in the back. Wormis is a big hulking grell. He can both dish out and take fair amounts of damage. His younger brother Kornah is of a similar mould, only not quite so massive. Borthi is more a hunter, favouring the bow. He has something of a talent for laying down a barrage of arrows, although at the expense of accuracy. Three of them run forwards, drawing melee weapons as they move. Washi moves forward more slowly, reaching for another arrow as he goes."Adokul! Grab the witch!" bellows Washi.[sblock=ooc]Gnoll 1 is critically wounded, -4 to rolls, std action only.Gnoll 2 is severely wounded -2 to rolls, acts normally.The four new arrivals are about 80-90 feet from where the characters are currently sitting. At full move, they will spend one turn (round 1) closing the gap. The will be with charging range in the next turn (round 2).For the sake of simplicity, anyone may grab cover (a tree, a log - you can choose what) by spending a move action. Once in cover, the character doesn't need to spend a move action to keep it, unless the character actually moves.The four new arrivals are all fairly capable. Perhaps not quite the level of your characters, but on a good day, with a little luck ... Some Notes on CombatYou post, then I post the round summary. I will aim for a 48 hour turn around. It may take a bit longer if I can't post the same day I check the thread. If a stated action become impossible as a result of events, and you have indicated your character's intentions, I will adjust your character's actions accordingly. If I don't know your character's intentions, I won't.You can make your own rolls. Use invisible castle. Note any bonus or penalties included other than the normal ones listed on your sheet (bab, str or dex, weapon bonuses). Include one Defence roll per round.As always, make sure each post to this thread has some IC content.That's about it I think. Initiative please.[/sblock][sblock=Adokul Only]Before leaving the fall, Urshak said to Adokul, "Stay alert Adokul. Be ready act. Opportunity can come at any time. You must be ready to grab it. Don't let me down." Urshak never mentioned anything about sending some of his supporters to follow the party. But this is undoubtedly what he had in mind, even if he could not know exactly how it would play out. Obviously, Urshak will be execting Adokul to support his play.[/sblock]</blockquote>
