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

[Insight]

INSIDE THE ROOM UPSTAIRS

Adam stealth check.

Unfortunately, Adam's clumsiness wakes the sleeping guards.

OOC: Adam, Astra, and Vrashek need to roll for initiative.

OUTSIDE & DOWNSTAIRS
Geigrim, Questor, and Skaros are in hiding. So far, they see no evidence that anyone is closing in on the central building. Perhaps the ruse was enough to confuse the existing guards!

 

[Walking Dad]

Adam initiative.

 

[Insight]

OOC: Guys, I am still waiting on Initiative checks for Astra and Vrashek. If I do not see any rolls by this weekend, I will roll them myself.

 

[Shayuri]

Astra grimaces and her hand drops to her quiver to bring an arrow to nock!

 

[Insight]

OOC: Initiative Check for Vrashek.

 

[Insight]

OOC: Initiative Order Vrashek [27] Adam [24] 4 Guards [20] Astra [18]

The Situation
Vrashek, Astra, and Adam are against the exterior wall of a small 10x15 room. There won't be a map at this time because none of the characters have much room to maneuver. On the flip side, moving around in this tight space will NOT provoke opportunity attacks.

There are two doors in this room - one opposite the window and one to the right of the window (as you enter via the window). The door to the right is stout and iron-bound. A heavy lock is located beneath the handle. There is a "slide-window" set center near the top of the door.

The parrot, Mr. Feathers, still sits on a bookshelf near the window.

Of note: One of the guards (#3) has a bell, probably to alert the other guards in the area.

OOC: Waiting on Vrashek's action. If no action is posted by 11/30, Vrashek will be NPC'ed for this turn. WD, feel free to post actions and rolls for Adam. Shayuri, please wait for the guards to act before posting actions and rolls.

 

[Scotley]

Geirgrim grins from his hiding place, pleased at how smoothly things are going...

Adam of Brightcastle

Adam prepares quickly for for battle and invokes his deities power to keep one of the guards occupied as he strikes him.

[sblock=OOC]

standard: Valiant Strike vs Guard 3 (attack roll assumes gurad 3 is the only adjacent enemy)

UPSTAIRS

With a blur of lightning-quick motion, Vrashek sends a barrage of shuriken streaking toward the eyes of the four guards in the room.

Before anyone else can act, Vrashek's shurikens fly all over the room. The first guard catches a metal shard in the throat, sending the fat man stumbling against the far door. He slides to the floor in a bloody mess. The second guard, who had nearly drawn his sword, caught a pair of shuriken, one in the forehead and one in the sword-arm. He also fell to the floor in a fairly ignoble manner. The third and fourth guards caught multiple shurikens in their un-armored and ample midsections, dropping them summarily in their tracks.

No enemies remain and none of them was able to raise an alarm.

Mr. Feathers squawks and lifts a wing, pointing in the direction of the iron-bound door.

OOC: Combat was over quick -- they were all minions!
