Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[jkason]

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

As Friadoc scales along the wall with all the ease of a spider, he sees a small pair of reptilian eyes round the corner in front of him--and they see Friadoc, too. The eyes open wide as their owner stops midstep in surprise. The kobold instinctively raises his crossbow, but decides instead to turn back around the corner and run out of sight. He yells something incoherent to Friadoc, but Tanith understands the draconic plainly enough:

"Intruders!"

"What the hells is that?" he hisses from the back of the group, craning his neck to try to get a look.

"He is raising the alarm!" Tanith says as she steps forward trying to get line of sight in order to stop the kobold.

[sblock=ooc]Move 30' and fire 3 magic missle bolts at the kobold if Tanith can see it. If she can't see it after moving 30' she will cast Mage Armor on herself. [/sblock]

 

[DrZombie]

"Heironeous, Bless us for this coming battle" Jonas chants. It is as if a faint call to battle can be heard, the shout of a thousand warriors giving the party strength and courage.


(cast bless, +1 to attack and saves vs fear for 6 minutes. CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE )

Rogash

OOC: Rogash would indeed be in the front.

Cursing under his breath and throwing caution to the wind, Rogash sets off in pursuit of the Kobold, axe and shield at the ready. "Let's at them before they can prepare a defense!"

"He is raising the alarm!" Tanith says as she steps forward trying to get line of sight in order to stop the kobold.

[sblock=ooc]Move 30' and fire 3 magic missle bolts at the kobold if Tanith can see it. If she can't see it after moving 30' she will cast Mage Armor on herself. [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]How close was the kobold to begin with? I'm just wondering if Dyspeer could race it to ground in a round or two, or if it had too much of a head start. I'm assuming it would have gone around the corner before Shai could get off a shot, too. If Dys couldn't reasonably catch up with him in a round or two, they'll both stick with the group and follow whatever charge we're making.[/sblock]

The kobold had just rounded the corner when it noticed Friadoc, so only had to backpedal a couple of steps to step out of sight and run away. If Dyspeer went after him, he'd have to round a blind corner first.

Tanith will cast mage armor, as the kobold is out of sight.

Friadoc does not have time to come off the wall and knock the thing down--but plenty of time to come off the wall and nearly get knocked down himself as the dwarf sets off in pursuit.

As Rogash starts to round the corner he is momentarily awestruck by what he sees.

The group sees a volley of crossbow bolts fly past the dwarf and bounce off the wall in a display of sparks.

Four do not, as they hit their mark, and the blood begins to pour from the dwarf's chest.

ooc: Rogash takes 13 damage from four crossbow bolts. There is a swarm of kobold around the corner--at least 20.

 

[Mista Collins]

As soon as it is let known what is down the corridor, Tanith will move as fast as possible and try and cast a fireball down there in the midst of all the kobolds before any of her allies rush forward into melee.

 

[Friadoc]

Friadoc will wait for the big magic to get dropped before he rushes into melee with his foes, however the halfling will make sure that the dwarf is still good on his feet.

Rogash

Momentarily hauled by the rain of bolts Rogash roars out in anger.

OOC: How far away are the Kobolds, as in will he get hit by another volley if he charges.

 

[industrygothica]

Rogash would be able to charge and attack before most of the kobolds were able to reload their crossbows.
