Last Stand of the Dorinthians (Chapter 2 - Illusions)

Satisfied by the power show before the gnolls and kobolds, Alexander now separates his hands to be free to attack with both, slashing and stabbing with fury, scimitar and dagger.

Dartis will fire a pair of arrows at the closest (unobstructed) gnoll.

OOC: [sblock] PBS still, if the gnolls are in melee, Dartis will take a shot at the kobold with the robes, if he can't be seen or with a clean shot, dartis will fire at the other kobolds.[/sblock]
 


Silas is somewhat taken aback by Kel's charge (though he has come to expect that sort of thing from Alexander). Crazy Huntress-worshippers! Though not so precipitously, Silas will move forward in an attempt to position himself where he can cast Burning Hands on a group of either kobolds or gnolls without catching any of his companions in its effect.
 

The four kobolds move ahead of their robed master, and each fire a shot at Dartis. The agile fighter avoids being hit by all but one attack (-3 hp).

Alexander attacks one of the gnolls before him, slicing a gash into the creature's chest, then ducking in close to finish his opponent with a knife to the lung.

Silas attacks next, moving towards the kobolds and casting his spell. With his staff raised above him, the abjurer completes his words of magic, causing flame to bellow forth from the palm of his hand. He spreads his fingers, causing the thin column of fire to become fan-like. Three of the kobolds are enveloped, their screams shrill as they attempt to douse themselves in the polluted fountain. They only make a few steps, as they fall dead and still aflame.

The kobold in front of Silas snarls and casts a familiar spell. His fingers spread outwards as a column of flame issues forth from his own hand and covers Silas (-6 hps).

Rix fires a shot from his crossbow at the remaining croney of the kobold. It hits, severely injuring the creature, but not killing it.

Dartis fires his shots, injuring a gnoll before it swings at Alexander and throwing off its aim. A second arrow misses, but distracts the other gnoll, who also misses the half-orc. It snarls at Dartis and turns to attack Alexander again.

Kel moves forward and barely misses the robed kobold, who yells in fear and shock as a slice takes a piece out of his garments.

OOC: Two gnolls (one injured), 1 injured kobold, and 1 totally fine kobold leader left.

"More than one way to deal with a sorcerer," murmurs Silas as he brings his staff down to grip it in both hands. Stepping towards the kobold leader Silas swings...
 


Alexander keeps the dance on, dodging, putting the gnolls between himself and the arrows, slashing, stabbing, and growling by the low only yell loud a bark-like cry every time he launches his steel towards enemy flesh.
 

The injured kobold moves first, backing away from the group and firing a bolt at Rix, which takes some flesh off his left arm (-3 hp to Rix).

Alexander moves next, driving his scimitar and dagger deep into the stomach of the gnoll in front of him. As the blades are removed, the creature gasps, tries unsuccessfully to hold its intestines in, and falls dead.

Silas attacks the robed kobold, dealing it a glancing blow off the side of its head and eliciting a curse from the creature. Rix fires angrily at the kobold that struck him, killing it with a bolt.

Dartis fires two more shots at the injured gnoll, both hitting him in the chest with such force that the creature is lifted from the ground and falls dead.

The robed kobold is the lone survivor and attempts to run, Kel and Silas both missing at their attempts to strike it in the back. He gets about halfway to the northern exit. Kel chases him, but misses again.
 

Kel continues to give chase hoping to, at the least, keep up with the small creature if not drive his sword through it and end its miserable life.
