[IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

[Sparky]

Ranver stabs at the halfling as the small man slips away from Horto, his spear finding improbable purchase.

[sblock=ooc]OA: Attack, damage - 18, 6 [/sblock]

 

[helium3]

Though both Haflings are able to avoid savage ripostes from their target they are not so cunning when it comes to the adjacent Priest of Ioun. Ranver is able to score a blow on the thief to the north but is unable to find purchase on the villain to the south.

Inside the house, perhaps in response to Charlotte's near miss or perhaps simply by mastering the fear of his impending, the beleaguered rogue grips his dagger tightly and takes a vicious stab at the young woman. His strike misses and he nearly screams in frustration between clenched teeth as the full force of terror hits him like a wave.

[sblock=Varilar]It is truly your turn now.[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Varilar moves swiftly down the stairs, short sword at the ready, and lashes out at the nearest halfling.

[Sparky]

Ranver steps up next to Horto, his blood up after having landed a strike. He takes a deep breath and levels the spear at the halfling he scored on and in a low, steady voice, speaks, "The Eye of the..."

He sees something dart in the shadows, Little Tatiana? Is she okay?! As his concentration falters, the words and the power building behind them release. The young cleric shakes his head to regain focus, he squints suspiciously at the halflings.

Move: P27 (next to Horto)
Standard: Lance of Faith, roll and damage, 8 and 7[/sblock]

 

[helium3]

Fate turns against our heroes as both Varilar and Ranver miss with their respective attacks. Fearlessly they close with the wicked thieves. Things look grim indeed for the diminutive duo.

[sblock=Jorje]Your turn.[/sblock]

 

[Walking Dad]

Jorje moves to his friends, but fails to summon the tiny spectres again to hassle one of the halfling thieve's.

[helium3]

The worm turns yet again and Jorje misses the mark.

[helium3]

The hafling makes a bewildered look. It's as if his eyes don't comprehend what the blade in his chest means. His eyes widen and he slumps to the floor.

[sblock=Horto]Your turn. Both of the haflings are concealed by shadows. Thus, -2 penalty to any attacks you make against them.
[/sblock]

 

[nerdytenor]

Horto, eager for action, steps into the fray again, hacking with exceptional speed at the halfling near Varilar. "Varilar," he says, breathing heavily, "if you were looking for an opportunity to get into position, now would be the time!"
