Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

[Maidhc O Casain]

Rook in the Spotlight

OK, Marienna's alright for now, and I need to move. That young lady seems in trouble - I'll take that one, then see how Marienna's faring. If she's OK, I'll be back to the lad facing two.

Rook tumbles out of reach of his current foe (1d20+12=28) and across the stage to the undead draining the lass. He attacks with dagger and belaying pin (1d20+4=17, 1d20+3=10), driving the dagger home where the foul creatures kidney should be for 1d4+4+1d6=11 damage.

The battle for the Ampetheater

OOC: Rook is off the stage at this point. His previous foe was near the stage, but now he has moved further out.

Rook rolls up and his blade sinks easily into the putried flesh of the undead. It turns to face him hissing and lashing out with a clawed hand, but does not manage to hit acrobatic Rook. The serving woman falls to the floor her eyes rolled back in her head, but apparently still alive.

Rook

Continuing his methodical butchery, Rook dives and rolls (1d20+12=23) back to the stage and the fellow facing two undead. As he strikes (1d20+4=23, 1d20+3=22) savagely at the singing creature with Drochthuarach and belaying pin in quick succession, he spares a glance for Marienna to make certain she's handling her foe as well.

Crit Check for Drochthuarach(1d20+4=18)

Damage ((1d4+4)+(1d4+4)+(1d4+2)+(1d6)=20)

The Battle

OOC: Unfortunately, undead are not subject to critical hits. It doesn't matter as you have managed to slay the wounded fellow without the extra damage. Marienna is holding her own, I expect that one round of help from Radoon when Mike gets caught up at work will do for that one.

Rook takes off in a blur of motion avoiding the attack by his most recent foe. He arrives back at the edge of the stage to put one of the undead singers to rest. The man fighting with knife and platter manages to sidestep his own foe and give Rook a positively courtly bow. He quickly returns to his own foe with a well placed stab that staggers, but does not slay.

Rook - Back to Work

Launching himself into the air and landing with a slide that would do a baserunner (a what?) proud, Rook again tumbles (1d20+12=28) across and off the stage. He rises swiftly and smoothly to his feet behind Platter's foe and thumps the foul creature on the noggin with his belaying pin.

To Hit (1d20+4=8, 1d20+3=18)

Damage (1d4+2=3)

The battle

Rook's blow is true and he is rewarded with a spray of rotting brain matter, yet the undead horror seems relatively unhindered by the loss of his occipital lobe. From the look of him, this one likely had pickled his brain with cheap alcohol long ago. Rook's fellow combatant strikes again giving the undead a glancing shoulder blow. He takes a clawed hand to the chest for his trouble, but he continues to fight as well.

OOC: [sblock]Perhaps the baserunner should have used a Louisville Slugger instead? [/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Just so he's not doing what everyone expects, Rook decided to stay with this opponent another round. He strikes with Dagger and Belaying Pin, scoring a weak hit with the dagger.

To Hit (1d20+4=15, 1d20+3=8)

Damage (1d4+4=5)

The battle in the ampetheater

Rook's blow finishes the undead and it crumples to its knees and pitches forward at his feet. The greatful warrior introduces himself, "Brindo Blackwater, a pleasure to meet you sir." He makes an expansive gesture with his blade, "What next?" An ogre guard, the one that accompanied Michael Storm approaches, and seeing that you have dispatched your foes, turns to burst the spine of an undead that was charming a patron with his greatclub.

Radoon

There are in fact still three undead about the room singing. One is now facing Marienna at the door and is most likely the one having an effect on Rodney. Another is the one Rook tried unsuccessfully to hit that is facing the lone warrior. Another is near the middle of the ampetheater, currently not being opposed thought he is embracing a young serving woman as he sings.

Radoon gathers a stout looking chair and a couple of sandbags at the door where Marienna has just jabbed her foe in the door way with the spear.

OOC: The ogres are out in the ampetheater while the door is at the left of the stage. Keep in mind that Rook had to leave the stage to make that last attack. If Radoon blocks the door Rook will be trapped outside.

Since Rook has decided to leave the room, Radoon will abandon blocking the door and instead try to finish off the Britney Spears.


Radoon will move deftly and quickly for a man of his age. Watching him smoothly draw a dagger with each hand is a thing of beauty. When he finally gets near M., she swears she sees him wink at her before he cuts the singing zombie to bits

Raddon's attack (1d20+7=20, 1d20+7=12)

Raddon's attack (1d20+2=18, 1d20+2=12)

Radoon's damage (1d4+3=7, 1d4+3=7, 1d4+3=5, 1d4+3=7)

OCC - Scott, don't know his AC, so just match up the rolls. Do I only get that 4th attack if I throw my weapon, I was wondering since it came from the master thrower proficiency.

Back stage

OOC: Two attacks with the primary hand and one with the off hand unless you took improved two weapon fighting. The fourth attack is when throwing. Three will be more than adequate as Marienna and Rook have already had a piece of Britany.

The wiley sailor smoothly cuts down the undead harlot at the door. For the moment the stage is free of battle though there is still excitement out in the ampetheater. Only one of the undead is still singing their charming song, but Sir Rodney remains entranced. Marienna puts an arm around Radoon for a brief hug. "Nice moves for an old guy," she adds with a smile. Her face is flushed from the excitement of battle and she has managed to lose the hat that was part of her costume letting her hair fly free.
