J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[J. Alexander]

Delivery

With miminal prepartions having been made, the party sets out back to the Prelate's residence. The streets are becoming more and more desereted with entire sections being silent. Wind can be felt blowing in from the north bringing with it a hint of moisture and the promise of a rainstrom. Roll a spot check for me please

Back to the Church

Perhaps preoccuipied with thoughts of the light and other such matters, angelo observes nothing of interest to him at the moment

Perhaps preoccuipied with thoughts of the light and other such matters, angelo observes nothing of interest to him at the moment

OOC: Given that his heart and mind are focused on the light just now, nothing bad could happen to him right?

 

[J. Alexander]

Deep in his thoughts of the Light and how he needs to rededicate his life to the service of others and forgoe worldy wealth and pleasures, Angelo turns the corner only to find himself face to face with a Type 12 demon. "Ahh" the demon says.."i have been in need of such a pure soul for my work".....care to roll initative..


OCC: Sure nothing will happen

Ambush

The party is moving along the street back to the prelats palace when crossbow bolts begin to fly from the roof tops and figurs rush the party...As if planned with great forthought, two bolts strike each party member, Brother LUcien takes 8 points, Tetsu takes 6 points, and Angelo takes 5 points from the bolts. Several more perhaps two apice strike the ground at your feet. As the party is hit it realizes that next round the figures will be upon them...

Actions gentlemen

Angelo

Riding shotgun in the cart, Angelo lets fly with his own crossbow (1d20+11=22) at the lead attacker. "Blast that Fraken and all his ilk!"

OOC: Damage (1d10+1=11) My rolls are based on the presumption that the foes are within 30'. Subtract one if not. You didn't ask, but just in case Initiative (1d20+3=13)

For the DM [sblock]Angelo also activates the Blurring effect of his shield which gives a 20% miss chance to all attacks.[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

Initiative 1d20+7=27

OOC: Todd - Are the bolts coming from the rooftops, and how tall are the buildings?

 

[J. Alexander]

Ambush

The best that Tetsu can determine is that they are popin up on the other side of the roof discharging their bolts then going to ground for cover. The roofs are fairly steep in pitch (think federal style) with the average height being 3 to 3/12 stories.

REacting quickly to the danger, Angelo drops one of the foes closing in.

INitative order is

Tetsu
Badguys (crossbows)
Angelo
Badguys (melee)

Tetsu

Thinking quickly, Tetsu sprints to the nearest building covering the crossbowmen and keeps going right up the wall, roof, and over. His companions hear him shout, "I'll take care of the archers!"

[sblock]Tetsu will use his 'Gecko Step' ability to run up the side of the nearest building covering the crossbowmen, there to confront them before they have a chance to reload (he'll have to use most of his move, so he won't be able to attack but he should be able to get there quickly enough to keep them from reloading).[/sblock]
