Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[Friadoc]

"See," says Friadoc. "It's a completally different foul beast."

Friadoc will quickly light a torch and then fling it toward the area that the growls came from, but only after he shouts a warning to the others.

"Torchlight!" shouts Friadoc.

 

[industrygothica]

Jonas motions for the others to come closer with the light, and to get ready.

As Rogash steps out to loose his arrow, the minotaur begins his charge. The arrow flies strong but skitters off the wall behind the great beast. Rogash narrowly manages to get himself back around the corner before the blade of the huge axe knocks an impressive chunk of stone out of the wall.

Rogash: longbow 5+9=miss

Friadoc can feel a cold chill as the axe smashes into the wall, sending yet more debris down on top of the halfling.

ooc: That'll be the end of the suprise round.

Rogash

Letting his bow clatter to the floor Rogash takes up his axe in haste. "Hammers and picks are better for working stone you stupid cow. Axes are for flesh," he shouts as he swings his own axe at the Minotaur.

 

[Friadoc]

Friadoc will attempt to tumble past the minotaur, so as to come up behind him in a flanking position to give himself and Rogash an edge in fighting the large beast.

Once there, Friadoc will launch a vicious blow to the back of the creatures right knee.

OOC

Basically, a tumble check to bypass an AoO and then attack the beast from behind.

 

[industrygothica]

Friadoc attempts to tumble past the beast but is stopped short and blasted with the thing's axe. Friadoc swears he can feel the cold touch of death creeping upon him.

Details: Tumple attempt: 14+9=fail (DC 25 for tumbling through an occupied space). AoO vs. Friadoc deals 19 damage.

Friadoc is now standing in front of the Minotaur, so any attacks will have to go around him. Let's hear from a few others before Friadoc acts again.

 

[Mista Collins]

Once she spots the beast, Tanith lets fly with a bolt from her crossbow.

 

[jkason]

Shai's tortured wait in silence is met with the crazy sight of the minotaur. Seeing there's no way to get to the beast for melee without encountering his companion, Shai pulls his bow instead and fires.

[sblock=OOC]Attack +7, Damage 1d8+3, x3 crit, 110 ft. range[/sblock]

 

[Friadoc]

Although he almost made it, Friadoc knows that a miss by an inch is the same as a miss by a mile and he launches his nunchaku into a rapid motion to build up speed as he strikes at the minotaur with them.

For the moment, Friadoc will stay in close with the minotaur, since he does not know if he could survive a second hit, en passé, from the beast.

 

[industrygothica]

Friadoc attempts to tumble past the minotaur but is stopped cold. He quickly draws his nanchaku and smacks the creatures knees as Tanith looses a bolt into its shoulder.

Ragash has his waraxe in hand, ready to strike to the first opportunity.

That opportunity comes quickly enough as the huge minotaur ignores the ineffective bolt lodge in his shoulder and brings his own axe down heavy on the halfling. Friadoc smashes against the wall in a lifeless heap.

Rogash quickly moves forward and slices the beast with his waraxe, opening a gory gash in the thing's side.

With a great howl the minotaur raises his axe and brings it down hard, but Rogash shifts and it only glances off his armor. Frustrated, the minotaur lowers his head and tries to impale the dwarf on his horns, but still Rogash thwarts his efforts.

Jonas tries to cast a spell, but nothing happens.

Desperate to help, Shai raises his bow and fires, but the arrow misses as the minotaur continues flailing about.

[sblock=details]

Rogash

Rogash can't believe his diminutive friend is down again. His anger rises and he swings his axe knowing that he must give the fight his all or this fearsome foe could be the end of the whole group.

OOC: +1 Dwarven Waraxe +9 1d10+3 20x3
