J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[J. Alexander]

Ambush

Tetsu makes his move and gets to the crossbowmen just as they pop up and proceed to unleash another volley, Startled perhaps by the sudden appearce of Tetsu in front of them their shots go wild with only two hitting his party below. Angelo for 3 points and Lucienc fof 6.

Angelo Human Mage

Angelo blinks at the dwarf's unexpected mobility and mutters, "Damn Dwarf is part lizard." Angelo says something else, but the words are unintelligeble over the din of battle and the rising storm. He gestures menacingly at his foes and adopts a defensive (1d20+9=13) posture. Suddenly a bolt of lightning (8d6=27) slams down among the attackers. "The storm is getting worse." He shouts to his fellows, "We need to get out of here."

For the DM [sblock]Casting lightning bolt on the defensive. With luck the din of battle and the storm with cover the verbal part of the spell which his defensive moves and rude gestures will cover the somatic. He'll try and hit as many as possible even if only one or two without endangering Lucien. Finally, his draconic presence means that all foes within 10' with less than 9 hit dice/levels will need to make a DC 14 will save or be shaken.[/sblock]

Ambush

As the ground men rush Angelo they are met with a bolt of lighting from the storms which take down 2 of the onrushing attackers. Screams abound from those fighting on the street as heard from above by Tetsu and the sound of fear can clearly be discerned.

Next Round Gentlemen

For Angelo
[sblock]As the onrushing foes get withing 10 feet of angelo their elan starts to disappear and their movements become less sure. Then as the air suddenly gets cold and fog gathers in front of the cart, screams can be heard and four of the onrushing attackers fall leaving only two facing Angelo[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Angelo Human Mage

Using the height of the wagon to his advantage Angelo lays about with his staff (1d20+7=14, 1d20+2=19, 1d20+7=19)

OOC: First blow likely missed by here is damage (2d6+2=9, 2d6+2=10, 2d6+2=7) for all three just in case.
[sblock]Second die is flame damage for the first two attacks and frost for the third.[/sblock]

Lol

Michael gets to go first now

 

[Scotley]

Paging the Big Bad Church Knight...

Michael gets to go first now

OOC: What about Lucien? He should have been able to mop up the rest of these guys before Angelo had to get his staff dirty.

 

[J. Alexander]

Lucien

Stunned by the onset of crossbow bolts and the surge of attackers, Brother Lucien is slow to respond, perhaps due to his tending of the sick man.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

Tetsu will concentrate all of his attacks on one crossbowman, attempting to knock him off the roof as he rains blows from hands, elbows, and head on the unfortunate fellow. He'll use his staff purely for defense (as is his usual tactic).

To Hit (1d20+9=28, 1d20+9=17, 1d20+4=20)

Damage (1d10+1=10, 1d10+1=9, 1d10+1=4)

Assuming all three hit, that's a total of 23 points, no crits.

 

[J. Alexander]

Ambush

Tetus successfully elimnates one opponet who falls from the roof to the alley behind. Two others start moving way from the small figure while the remaing three get of shots with their crossbow. Tetsu sees the bolts fly but is unable to see where they hit. Cries can be heard comgng from below.

The crossbow bolts lauch and with a audiable thunk hit a targe below. Angelo lashes out with his staff strking an approaching opponet twice and laying hm low. Again fog rolls from the front area of the cart causing all to shiver as if from cold. Screams come from the onrushing foes for no apparent reason. Only two m anage to reach Angelo where is sits perched on the cart......Swinging widley they miss.

NEW ROUND gentlemen.

Lucien Montrose

OOC: Sorry, gentlemen, to have been so long between posts. Things have just been more than a little hectic over the last few weeks. I even drove up to Missouri a couple of weekends ago to help friends move a 110 year old organ. I waved towards Mike's house when we went pat while driving through Jonesboro. I hope the goodwill was at least felt on a psychic level. Anyway, I'll try to be of use now until the next insane period hits. /OOC

Initiative (1d20+6=21)

Lucien shakes off his lethargy, draws his sword and moves to close with the nearest foe.
