Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 8554458" data-attributes="member: 2012">Gronagon is surprised by Angus's sudden appearance. "The duergar made no mention of you, either, horseman! That damn bastard has used me and my soldiers and will have his head after I have yours!"He swings greatclub a moment before Angus can attack. The weapon smashes into the side of Angus's horse body. It is a vicious blow but Angus brings his clan blade in response and cuts a deep wound through the ogre's chest. Gronagon yells in surprise and anger. "Damn you, horseflesh!"Aries affixes his darkvision goggles and moves towards the fight with his mace at the ready. He seems to be searching. He's here somewhere," he shouts to Maur. "Xander set them upon us!" He moves up the northern trail and looks towards the high hill. "I don't see him. I think he's hiding... or invisible. Come out you coward!"The female guard gets to her feet and moves to stand next to the pond with her bow ready to fire. She isn't sure if she can hit such a foe, but she takes aim and lets loose an arrow. She is forced to adjust for Angus's attack on the ogre and her shot flies high over their head."I see you, Aries Zeidan," a dark raspy voice rings out loudly in the night. "You have acted false before Malotoch's claws, as the duergar did when he betrayed the oath he made to me. An oath the necromancer made him swear before he freed him from his cell.""I MADE NO SUCH OATH!" Aries yells at the sky. "YOU HAVE NO CLAIM OVER MY SOUL!""No, you did not," the voice seems to squawk. "But your betrayal has been seen by her and she has asked me to punish you, as I have punished the duergar. His curse makes him my thrall. While I cannot curse you as well, blood elves and demons will seek you out and punish you with pain and blood. And then, they will bring what is left of you back to me as my plaything.""Is... is that?" Aureus says with a bit of fear."Vok! The demon lord is watching us somehow!" Aries turns to look at her and then Maur. There is fear in his eyes."None of you will survive my wrath!" Vok's voice seems to rising from the top of the pillar. "I will come for you and for all your family, friends, and allies! I will spill the Savage Heart out into the Thunder Lands and my wings will stretch across the Thunder Mountains into the Strandlands." The voice laughs. "But first I will send waves of bloodgoblins to tear apart the lands in between!""This is bad," Aureus says. "I thought we'd have more time." She looks towards the top of the pillar but it is too high for her darkvision to see what is at the top.Gronagon is surprised and fearful at what he hears. "V-vok... Wyrknari Vok..." He looks at Angus and Caerth. "Who are you? Why does the Demon Lord of the Darkened Trees want you?""Kill them and I will reward you," Vok says to the ogre. "Defy me and you will suffer.""Damn duergar, what has he gotten me into?" Gronagon says with fear. Angus can see that the ogre's hands are unsteady on his weapon. He looks at Angus. "If you allow me to retreat, I will never come to the Strandlands again. I swear it in Vaprak's name!""Your god is nothing!" Vok's scream sound likes a bird dying. "Do my bidding or die!"[OOC]Does Angus have reach with his clan sword? Can he hit at 10 ft., right or does he have to get right up and personal. I seem to remember that he doesn't have reach with it... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":unsure:" title="Unsure    :unsure:"  data-smilie="24"data-shortname=":unsure:" />If so, he takes an AoO before he hits...<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=257583" target="_blank">Gronagon the Mankiller - AoO vs. Angus:</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=257583" target="_blank">1D20+14 = [13]+14 = 27 (hit)</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=257583" target="_blank">2D8+12 = [6, 1]+12 = 19</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=257584" target="_blank">Guard (Dannia) - Mwk Shortbow:</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=257584" target="_blank">1D20+2+1 = [15]+2+1 = 18 -4 (firing into melee) = 14 (miss)</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=257584" target="_blank">1D6 = [3] = 3</a>[USER=24380]@Neurotic[/USER], you're up! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😈" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" title="Smiling face with horns    :smiling_imp:" data-shortname=":smiling_imp:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />[/OOC]</blockquote>
