IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

[Friadoc]

"Not good," says the half-orc scout softly, as word of the spell usage is made, so Buurt makes to move out and flank the arcane-wielder at a distance, so as to see what he is preparing to attack.

OOC

+14 to both hide and move silent checks, however at moving more than half my speed, but less than full speed, I get a -5 penalty to each check. So, since my move is 40', Buurt will move between 36-38' and move to a flanking position so he can observe the target that the magic user is preparing to attack.

Buurt will be within 30' of the man, if possible, so as to be able to employ his maximum ability, if needed.

His spot is a +6.

(OOC - How far is the wolf? If he's within 40 feet, I can cast Energy Aegis on him as an immediate action. If not I'll have Talashia try to talk the mage down.)

OOC: And a random roll of the dice falls in your favor. Dyspeer is indeed within 40 feet. Please post a description with the spell so I'll know what it does, if you don't mind.

Caerwyn is unsure of what is going on, so mhe mimics the scout on the other side of the street, removing his sword in the process. He knows he cannot be stealthy, but maybe he can dray the attention of the mage away from the direction of Buurt or Talashia...(Hope, Hope, Hope)

OOC: Since Dyspeer is here, I am thinking that Rogash and Uulark cannot be too far behind, but I'm just not feeling where they fit into this tableau. Enlighten moi, s'il vous plait?

[sblock=OOC]Sorry the narrative was unclear. Rogash went running out of the sewers with Dyspeer and Shazi in tow. I made the assumption that they'd keep running for a bit as they headed for the last place they saw their partners.

Since Dyspeer probably doesn't know where you're going, he's following you. Since the mage doesn't know Dyspeer, or you, all he sees is two people running, with a wolf running after them. Being the good citizen that he is, he might feel it's his duty to rid the city of this k9 menace before all the wolves in the area think they can prey on the good people of Irongate.

Nice of him, ain't it?

Again, sorry the narrative was unclear.

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

"Casting a spell on who?" Shai mutters, looking around. He perks up when he sees Dyspeer, but a quick check of the spellcaster's direction of interest has the druid's heart sinking.

"Oi! You! You keep your filthy, spelly paws off Dyspeer!" he calls out, charging forward.

[sblock=OOC]Spot and Listen are both +12, so I sort of made the assumption Shai would be able to see the wolf and tell the spellcaster was looking his way.

I'm not sure about the mechanics here, but Shai's unarmed, and doing his level best to close on the spellcaster and screw up the spell, though I suspect he's probably starting much too late[/sblock]

[sblock=So...]Am I right in thinking that Uulark is still with Rogash, and we are right [in front of?] Dyspeer? We see this mage threatening us then, don't we?[/sblock]

On seeing the mage casting, Talashia responds by throwing out her hand and shouting a single word in the Auran tongue. Lightning spears out at the same time that the other mage completes his Scorching Ray. Talashia's spell creates a crackling blue wall between him and the mage, neatly intercepting the streams of flame!

(Energy Aegis, from Player's Handbook II. Cast as an Immediate Interrupt on a single target within Close Range (25+ 1/2 levelx5'), it lasts for 1 round. It provides the subject with 20 resistance to any of the energy types (fire, cold, lightning, acid or sonic).)

"Bugger," the mage says as his spell is rendered ineffective. He holds his hands up to his face, as if to examine them for defect, when when the thundering druid spears him neatly off of his feet, knocking the breath entirely out of him as they both hit the ground.

After what seems like an eternity, the party is again reunited.
