J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

Ambush

Switching tactics, Tetsu confuses his opponet and lands a a low blow to the kidneys. With a scream the man crumples and slides from the roof to the alley below. Hearing the cry "We have them now" Tetsu belives that his allies have things well in hand below. Checking the rooftop Tetsu observes that the other crossbowmen are some 20 feet away, scampering down ladders.

Brother Lucien rushes forward and once again swings his sword savagly cutting down his opponet. The remaining footpad tries to disenage only to be met by Angelo's staff. Perhaps due to his opponet disengaing Angleo only lads one blow to his opponets shoulder breaking his collar bone.

Angelo

Having no opponent in reach Angelo, pauses to study the situation.

For the DM [sblock]Checking in with his eyes in the sky, what other problems are nearby?[/sblock]
 

Lucien Montrose

Lucien, seeing the man trying to flee, strikes with the flat of his sword, attempting to knock the running man unconscious (1d20+9=22, 1d8+7=11, 1d20+4=7, 1d8+7=12). "Perhaps His Eminence would care to question those who would attack the officers of the Church. I'm sure Marcus will not object to sharing his carriage with a prisoner. Friend wolf, I will assist in pulling the cart if the weight is too much."

(Attack rolls have the -4 modifier for non-lethal damage. I assume the second attack was a miss, but I rolled them both as one roll.)
 

Ambush

For Angelo
[sblock]Checking in with his flying friend Angelo is met with cries of outrage..."Make me fly in this cold damp weather while that mangy beast is asleep on a werm pillow,,,I tell you favortisism,,,favoritism......" After a few more comments about his noble efforts on behalf of an ungratfull party...the link is opened. Angleo discovers that most of the action and movement is occuring along the river banks. The side alleys are somewhat deserted with no apparent movement within a 5 block area of you.[/sblock]
 

Angelo

"I have reason to believe that most of the trouble is along the river front. We should make haste before they arrrive here in force." He reloads and takes his place on the wagon.
 

As Angelo starts to climb upon the wagon he falls, landing hevily on the ground.

For Angelo
[sblock]As he climbs onto the wagon, a blinding headache stikes giving Angelo a huge sense or vertigo dimly he hears "It locked the widow on me...I tell you if you dont do something about this miserable beast...I wont be held accountable for my actions..It's cold and damp out here, my feathers are wet, and IT locks the window on me"......fume fume fume..[/sblock]
 

Tetsu

As all of his opponents have run away, Tetsu will zip back down the side of the building to the wagon. Seeing his new friend fall to the ground, Tetsu inquires into his health.

"Are you alright, my friend? That lacked your usual measure of grace!"
 

Angelo

Angelo rises cluthing at his forehead. "Sorry, I am prone to bad headaches at times. This one came on rather suddenely. I'll be alright." He retakes his seat in the wagon. "Let's get moving."
 

Lucien Montrose

Lucien snaps the ends off the quarrels sticking through his surcoat. Lifting his prisoner, he lays him in the rear of the cart next to Marcus. "Angelo, if haste is of such essence, perhaps those of us who are conscious should proceed afoot. We would be better prepared if we do face attack, plus there would be less weight for Friend Wolf to pull. Add that if another fainting spell overcomes you, you would have less of a fall to suffer. In this fog, we wouldn't be racing in the cart and or on horseback anyway. As we have just seen, it is so easy to fall into an ambush."

Angelo

"You are quite right Lucien," Angelo says getting down and ready to move out. "What of our friend the dwarf? Does he need aid?"
