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

[Insight]

Barbarossa looks at Vrashek. "Ye look at the ready, me boy," he says. "Tis wise. I expect we'll be meeting trouble sooner rather'n later!"

"Then we do this the hard way," grunts Vrashek, daggers dancing in both hands. "Where are the stairs down? Stay behind me, and I'll see us out of this place."

"Would that I had ole Betsy with me," the old sailor replies. "I'm of a mind to give these pieces o' filth what they got commin'."

Barbarossa, unfortunately unarmed and unarmored, watches his rescuers for a cue to move on. Mr. Feathers lands on Barbarossa's broad shoulder and squawks.

The chaos bolt assails the remaining guard, the one wielding a dagger, who struck Skaros. The guard reels from the blow, dropping first to his knees, then prone before the warlock.

OOC: Another dead minion.

Not sure who the "warlock" is you're talking about, but Questor is a Chaos Sorcerer.

[sblock=Leif]Skaros, the one in melee with the late guard, is the warlock to whom I referred. He can't exactly drop before Questor, who is several feet away [/sblock]

[sblock=Insight]Skaros! Boy don't I feel dumb now. Sorry for ever doubting you.

Adam of Brightcastle

"Looks like they are already after us. It will be safer for the captain to use the stairs. Follow me!" Adam demands and begins his way to the staircase..

"Would that I had ole Betsy with me," the old sailor replies. "I'm of a mind to give these pieces o' filth what they got commin'."

Barbarossa, unfortunately unarmed and unarmored, watches his rescuers for a cue to move on. Mr. Feathers lands on Barbarossa's broad shoulder and squawks.

Vrashek twirls a dagger, and hands it to Barbarossa. "Its better than nothing," says the half-orc, who then hurries to follow after Adam.

 

[Shayuri]

Astra nods and goes with Adam to the stair way. She takes position at the top and looks down, arrow still ready at her bow. If she sees no sign of opposition, she begins to descend the stairs, placing her feet carefully to avoid making noise as she goes.

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

*** This begins the second round of combat ***

OOC: Initiative Order 23: Astra 20: Adam 18: Skaros ** Need Action ** 17: (Unknown) 16: Geirgrim 11: Vrashek 11: Guards 7: Questor 6: Rory Barbarossa

ASTRA

Astra nods and goes with Adam to the stair way. She takes position at the top and looks down, arrow still ready at her bow. If she sees no sign of opposition, she begins to descend the stairs, placing her feet carefully to avoid making noise as she goes.

ADAM

"Looks like they are already after us. It will be safer for the captain to use the stairs. Follow me!" Adam demands and begins his way to the staircase.

OOC: Important - Rory Barbarossa does not act until the end of the combat round. I need to know if you are waiting for him or pressing forward, allowing him to follow behind. If you are pressing forward, I see a move action from each of you to get to the stairs. At that point, I need to know if you are attempting Stealth checks or not when you descend the stairs.

[MENTION=36973]stonegod[/MENTION] We need actions for Skaros!

 

[stonegod]

Skaros opens the door wide, waiting for the others.

OOC: No targets, so get everyone together before bunching out.

 

[Walking Dad]

OOC: Adam will stay near of the captain.
