Insight's "The Isle of Dread" - Chapter One

[Shayuri]

Astra lets her readied arrow fly at the guard as he comes up the stairs at her, then immediately turns to send another pair of arrows at the ogre, eager to put the immense brute on the ground before it really hurt someone. The press of the battle takes it toll though, and her first shot is too hurried, too distracted to find its way past its thick hide. Her second arrow follows the first but finds its mark.

(Spitting Cobra Stance allows RBA on any foe that approaches, rolled 17 to hit and 18 damage. If that doesn't hit, Astra shifts 1 before attacking ogre with Twin Strike.)

Astra

Astra lets her readied arrow fly at the guard as he comes up the stairs at her, then immediately turns to send another pair of arrows at the ogre, eager to put the immense brute on the ground before it really hurt someone. The press of the battle takes it toll though, and her first shot is too hurried, too distracted to find its way past its thick hide. Her second arrow follows the first but finds its mark.

(Spitting Cobra Stance allows RBA on any foe that approaches, rolled 17 to hit and 18 damage. If that doesn't hit, Astra shifts 1 before attacking ogre with Twin Strike.)

OOC: All right. So, to retcon a tiny bit, Astra drops the last guard (who didn't hit her anyway). All of the current guards are now down. Astra's first attack misses, but the second shot hits for 10 damage.

Adam

Adam of Brightcastle

Adam engages valiantly this much bigger enemy, his faith both weapon and shield... but he also uses an actual sword and a shield, just to be on the save side.

[sblock=OOC]
I posted up-right, but you moved Adam up-left. his current position should be two squares to the right, just below the ogre. If I made an error (again, move action to shift one square right.

standard: valiant strike vs the ogre
- Hits AC 26, 13 damage on a hit
free: holy smite
- The target takes 5 radiant damage. If the triggering attack hits, the target is also dazed until the end of Adam's next turn.[/sblock]

OOC: Adam hits the ogre for a total of 18 damage and the ogre is now dazed.

[sblock=WD]I'll fix the map shortly.[/sblock]

OOC: [MENTION=36973]stonegod[/MENTION] - Skaros is next.

 

[Insight]

New map showing Adam's proper position.

 

[Insight]

[MENTION=36973]stonegod[/MENTION] - we are still awaiting Skaros' action
[MENTION=11520]Scotley[/MENTION] - Geirgrim is up next

If we do not have anything from stonegod in the next few days, we will move along.

 

[Scotley]

Cursing the poor aim of his last couple of attacks, Geirgrim spits on his palm and adjusts his grip on the Tratnyr before hurling it at the Ogre once more.

OOC: Have i missed yet again?

 

[stonegod]

Now that the doorway is free, Skaros was able to approach the true foe. He stepped forward and sliced at the ogre twice.

OOC: Move adjacent to ogre. Soul Eater first: Hit AC 24 (forgot dazed) for 18 fire and +2 to next attack. AP and then use Blazing Doom of the Void: 21 fort (19 if first attacked missed), 24 fire & necrotic dmg and +5 to next dmg.

COMBAT WITH THE GUARDS
The heroes attempt to whisk Rory Barbarossa out of the Veiled Society compound.

*** The fifth round of combat continues ***

OOC: Initiative Order 23: Astra - COMPLETED 20: Adam - prone - COMPLETED 18: Skaros - COMPLETED 17: Ogre - dazed - COMPLETED 16: Geirgrim - COMPLETED 11: Vrashek - NEXT 11: Guards - ALL DEFEATED 7: Questor - NEXT 6: Rory Barbarossa -

Skaros

Now that the doorway is free, Skaros was able to approach the true foe. He stepped forward and sliced at the ogre twice.

OOC: Move adjacent to ogre. Soul Eater first: Hit AC 24 (forgot dazed) for 18 fire and +2 to next attack. AP and then use Blazing Doom of the Void: 21 fort (19 if first attacked missed), 24 fire & necrotic dmg and +5 to next dmg.

OOC: Soul Eater hits, but Blazing Doom of the Void misses. The Ogre's Fort is higher than his AC! Ogre takes 18 fire damage.

Ogre
The ogre, besieged by many foes, leverages his mighty size and mass. He turns his attention to the one who has harmed him the most of late, which is Adam. The flail connects, dropping the knight to the floor with authority.

OOC: Ghetto crit for 16 damage! Adam is knocked prone.

Geirgrim

Cursing the poor aim of his last couple of attacks, Geirgrim spits on his palm and adjusts his grip on the Tratnyr before hurling it at the Ogre once more.

OOC: Have i missed yet again?

OOC: Just barely! Missed by 1.

[MENTION=29098]Rhun[/MENTION] [MENTION=48762]Leif[/MENTION] - Vrashek and Questor are next!

 

[Leif]

Questor, Halfling Chaos Sorcerer 6

Questor belches so loudly that the stones tremble and a vile green cloud billows from his lips and streams directly into the ogre's face. The Ogre's eyebrows and prodigious nose hairs are singed off as the cloud washes over the ogre.

OOC: Questor's power used this round -- Poisonous Exhalation [+9 att, cha vs. fort, 2d8+9[+4(cha)+2(dagger)+3(chaos power)] poison dam + target is -2
fort until end of my next turn]

Move: Two squares north, one square west -- or a 'knight move' to the north and west -- in position to 'peek around' the west edge of the door and sling spells inside.

 

[Insight]

OOC: Need [MENTION=29098]Rhun[/MENTION] to complete this round.

 

[Rhun]

Still stuck back behind his companions, where he can guard Barbarossa should any additional forces appear, Vrashek sticks with the same tactic and hurls another shuriken at the massive brute before him.

OOC: Glad I'm not doing anything creative or special, because my dice rolls have SUCKED!
