IndyPendant's Sunless Citadel

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Lehko smiles fiercely but the darkness doesn't leave his eyes as his wave of magical force finds it's target. He remains in position and maintains his focus on the bandit. He claps his hands sharply, and a brillant explosion of multicoloured light scintillatingly flashes for a fraction of a second in front of the mugger.

[[Casting Flare on the same mugger as was targetted by Forcewave, dc 13 fort save.]]

Heirmund moves past Lehko, dangerously close to the melee centered around Ren and Dengar, and blows a tiny amount of multicoloured sand into a swirl of bright colours that engulfs the two muggers attacking Ydyr. Both of them glance his way, startled--and the eyes of one of them roll up into the back of his head, as he suddenly collapses limply. The other blinks a few times, but manages to shake off the spell's effect. Meanwhile, Jair attacks the wounded mugger on him with his spear, ripping a deep hole in the man's side. The man staggers, very badly wounded, but manages to avoid Terek's attack.

((Mugger's saves: 16 and 8. Jair's attack: 14+0=14. Damage: 5+0=5. Terek's attack: 3+3=6.))

Ren actually laughs. "Big mistake, fool." He then simply grabs Ydyr by the throat with his off hand, and squeezes. Ydyr sees spots swim before his eyes, and then...darkness. Dengar takes advantage of Ren's momentary distraction, and swings his flail again, this time managing to strike Ren in the side of the head with a satisfying crunching noise. Ren drops like a stone, almost beating Ydyr to the ground.

((Ren's grapple check: 25. Ydyr's: 11. Subdual damage to Ydyr: 6. Dengar's attack: 11+5=16. Damage: 5+4=9.))

Lehko causes a bright light to burst in front of Jair's wounded attacker, who blinks rapidly at the pinpoint lights suddenly dazzling his vision. Then Lehko feels an explosion of agony, and looks down to see the head of a crossbow bolt protruding from his right lung! He collapses into a red-hot haze, not even knowing where his attacker came from... The remaining mugger that attacked Ydyr last round, seeing both his target and the man he was trying to protect have fallen, takes a quick look around the battlefield. Licking his lips as he assesses the situation, he calls out a little desperately, "Webster! Help us! We can still win this!" He then takes a step and stabs at Heirmund with his shortsword! Heirmund can't avoid the blow, but manages to throw an arm in the way so that the sword carves into it laying open the bone, instead of gutting him. Meanwhile, the muggers facing Jair attack him, but miss completely. Jerek, seeing Heirmund's desperate situation, quickly moves into a flanking position to attack. The mugger doesn't even notice Jerek, which allows him to plunge his dagger directly into the man's back, just barely missing his heart. The mugger calls out in pain, his own blood quickly drenching his armour, but manages to remain standing despite the blow. The final mugger against the wall continues puking up the inn's meal and drinks.

((Fort save: 10. Crossbow shot: 14. Damage: 7. Mugger's attacks: 18, 4, and 8 respectively. Damage to Heirmund: 3. Jerek's attack: 19+2=21, confirm 12+2=14. Damage: 3+4+1=8.))

Jerek smiles grimly. "I wouldn't Webster!" he calls. "Things aren't looking so good here."

He dances around his foes, his dagger snaking out to strike again. "Give it up, you idiots!"

[OOC: Looking to flank someone again and trying to spot the crossbowman.]

 

[Voadam]

Jair, seeing Lehko's danger will nimbly take a five foot step back out of the threatened range of the muggers and end up next to the sorcerer. Dropping his spear he will invoke Mielikki to cast a cure light wound spell on his gravely wounded comrade. Terek meanwhile will continue to engage Jair's attackers as a snarling blur of snapping jaws that attempt to drag down the enemy nearest to Jair.

ooc, let me know if I misunderstood the positioning and cannot do this. If so I will strike an opponent and make a five foot step towards the nearest dying ally I need to rescue.

Ydyr: ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

[Two-Gun Kid]

As Ren fell to the ground with the side of his head caved inwards, Dengar looked down quickly to make sure the young follower of Ilmater was still breathing. Once he saw the rise and fall of his chest, Dengar immediately turned and saw Heirmund's attacker drawing back for another stab at him. Whipping his flail up and across quickly, Dengar tried to catch the man unaware and protect his friend as best he could.

'Why did he have to step into the fight? Has his drink muddled his mind?'

[sblock]Attack on the mugger in front of Heirmund. If I get flanking bonus great, if not, still want to get him away from the gnome and focused on me.[/sblock]

Heirmund (illusionist)

Heirmund steps back pulls out a small piece of leather and chants once more then crosses his arms across his chest.

((OOC: mage armor))

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Lehko jerks back as the whistling bolt strikes true. He eyes whip around to whomever shot him, and falls to his knees, hands wrapped aroud it's shaft. And he laughs. He lets out a long maniacal laugh staring directly into the eyes of the crossbow wielder. He laughs still as he falls completely over, but is rendered silent by unconciousness, still gripping the bolt, his Death's Grin static on his quickly paling face.

Spoiler

Go Picard!

Lehko looks back where the crossbow bolt came from, and finds himself looking at the corner Heirmund just ran around--but he sees no one there, even as darkness closes around his laughter. Heirmund takes a step backwards, quickly casting a spell, causing the mugger in front of him to wince and involuntarily close his eyes for a moment. When nothing happens to the mugger, he grins in relief. Jair attacks the wounded mugger on him one final time and finally manages to take him down. As he then steps closer to Lehko, Terek attacks the remaining mugger on Jair and chews on the arm the mugger throws in the way for a long few seconds. Meanwhile, Dengar moves for the wounded mugger that attacked Heirmund, and swings his flail at the man, but misses him.

((Jair's attack: 16+0=16. Damage: 3+0=3. Terek: 10+3=14. Damage: 4+3=7. Dengar's attack: 7+5=12.))

That mugger, finding himself now facing three on one, hesitates, drops his sword, and curses, calling out loudly 'There's only two of us left fighting! I...surrender, damn you.' The surviving mugger attacking Jair glances over to him, nods once, says 'Good luck Edgar. Rot in hell, Webster.'--and withdraws out of the torchlight into the darkness, so that only Dengar can still see him--and even then just barely, at the edge of his darkvision. The final mugger turns around, gazing with horror down at the carnage surrounding him, and covers his face, smearing his own vomit as he slides down the wall mumbling over and over again, "Oh gods...oh...gods...oh gods..."

A moment later, Lehko's torch gutters out in the wet mud, plunging you all into near-total darkness.

((You can continue the combat by trying to chase down the fleeing muggers. Or we can switch back to normal actions, whichever you prefer.))

 

[JimAde]

Jerek rounds on the mumbling man (presumably Webster) with his dagger at the ready and through gritted teeth says, "You will come with us once our wounded are tended to." He grabs the man by the collar and hauls him roughly to his feet. "I want answers."

[sblock]Again with the no skills. Intimidate +1 (for CHA)[/sblock]
