J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

Tetsu will scan the area with his darkvision, as well as listening closely to the sounds.

(Apparently the thunder of the last few days has him deaf as a post). Trusting the horses to know their business, he'll quietly wake Angelo and Lucien even if his darkvision picks up nothing.

Angelo

Angelo stuggles to gather his wits and his staff. "There were some wild dogs about this morning, but surely they haven't dogged us all day." He grins at his weak attempt at wit. Clearly, he isn't fully awake you.

For the DM [sblock]To the cat he thinks, "can you see anything out there with your cat's eyes?"[/sblock]

 

[SirCaith]

Lucien Montrose

Coming to his senses quietly, Lucien responds to Angelo in a low whisper. "Even so, dogs and wolves put horses on edge very easily. Something about the yapping at the heels thing, I've been told. But, losing our horses would not be a good thing, right now." Getting up as silently as he can, Lucien moves to the picket line, trying to calm the horses with his off hand. He has his longsword drawn in his right hand, held low, but at the ready.

For Angelo
[sblock]In response to his question, cat replies "Just a big bear"[/sblock]

Preparing for action, the party readies itself only to have a deafening roar come from the shadows followed by the sound of a very large creatrue rushing towards the camp....the horses begin to panic and go wild in fear.

Tetsu

For GM Only:

[sblock]Not to be ticky, but shouldn't I have been able to see the bear, since I can see in the dark?[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

"I think its a bear. I know a bardic trick that just might scare it away." Moving quickly, Angelo humms a brief tune followed by a handful of arcane words and makes a few guestures ending in a pantomime of playing a violin sharply. Then he gestures at the approaching creature with his imaginary violin bow and an orb of sonic energy hisses and rumbles at the bear (1d20+11=26) and it bursts with a painfully loud concophany of noise (5d6+1=17)(+ a d6 if I got initiative) (1d6=1) .

For the DM [sblock]Orb of Sound, Lesser, doing 17 damage if the 26 hits. Its a wizard spell, but Angelo is doing his best to cover it with a little bardic BS. His intention is run the creature off if it just a normal bear or get in a nice first shot if it isn't.[/sblock]

Actions

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Angelo's action stands.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

Tetsu spent his first action waking Lucien and Angelo. He'll watch in awe as Angelo goes through his bardic 'trick,' while readying his staff and looking for an opening.

The Commission

Waking the party and preparing to address the threat, Tetsu complets his actions at which point Angelo makes some gestue and a loud noise occurs startling both beast and horses. Brother Lucien begins to struggle in order to retain the horses from running (Lucien needs to roll a oppose strenght check or handle animal check DC 20). The beast itself is startled but does not run...however it does delay long enough for the party to regroup and prepare for the next round.
