[LPF] Bats in the Belfry

GlassEye · Dec 2, 2010

[sblock=OOC]Hey, I'm currently reviewing this thread and HM's adventure proposal. I hope to have a post/update for you all soon.[/sblock]

Xan's cat-like eidolon tears through cloth, feathers, and flesh. The tengu's yellow eyes widen and its red-stained beak clacks open and closed but he says nothing. He slumps clutching at his bloody wounds and falls to the tiled roof. The body rolls and teeters on the edge of the roof before falling into the courtyard below with a solid thud.

Xan's bolt clips the tengu in front of Aressa and in pain it makes a sound quite like a chirp.

OOC: Leonion is up. Then Heather.

[sblock=ooc]3rd round already? In the 2nd round Leonion threw another javelin and missed [/sblock]

GlassEye · Dec 3, 2010

[sblock=OOC]Yep, third round. Initiative clicked over back on the third page, post 41. Xan's eidolon (does it have a name, by the way?) just killed off tengu1.[/sblock]

[MENTION=75826]Padreigh[/MENTION] You're up.
[MENTION=88443]Antithetist[/MENTION] You can go ahead also.

Battle continues to swirl around Leonion and Heather and they stand momentarily caught off-guard. The tengu facing Aressa gabbles a panicked question to the dazed tengu but gets no response. He takes a step back (to J10) and fires his bow at Aressa. The arrow barely scratches the eidolon but blood seeps from the wound on her shoulder. The tengu crows with momentary elation.

[sblock=OOC]Ok, this may seem a bit harsh but I'm not waiting longer than 24 hours when a character's turn to act comes up. If 24 hours passes then I'll continue to the next combatant and the character passed will be considered to be delaying until the player next posts at which point his initiative count will change. I think this is only fair to everyone who is waiting and will hopefully keep the game moving at a reasonable pace.

Izzik & Aressa are up.[/sblock]

Aressa chuckles throatily, wearing a smile that is entirely too wide and shows entirely toop many teeth. "I'm going to play with your innards birdy." She exults, before her words fade into a purr as she leaps atop the poor bird man and tears him to ribbons!

Izzik, shakes his head giving his party members an apologetic look - eidolons, what are they like? Before calling up to the last lone Tengu in a friendly, if overly cheerful tone,

"Look here Beaky, the way I see it your best bet here is to surrender. I'd rather have a nice chat with you and find out what's going on, and send you on your way to explain how bad an idea it is to attack Izzik Deeks," he pauses, "and company. I mean things look pretty bad is all and I promise you I'm a nice fellow - famous for it. So why not do the sensible thing and hop down here so we can get you on your way?"

[sblock=OOC]I'm all for anything that picks up the pace - PBP needs all the steroids it can get - and waiting has been killing me, lol.[/sblock]

[sblock=Daze and Diplomacy]Ah, that's a good balancing factor for Daze, makes perfect sense. As for the diplomacy I could not find the modifier for using it in a single round, I think it was -10 in 3.5, essentially Izzik spends his action doing it. For the record he's not lying, though I suspect the roll was too low for it to matter.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Izzik would know that a creature, once dazed, is immune to daze for a brief time afterwards. Feel free to edit your action if you wish.[/sblock]

Aressa shreds the Tengu facing her and looks rather smug as a cloud of feathers waft gently down to land in her hair and on the tiled roof surrounding her. The sole remaining Tengu hisses at her and glares at the group. "Think I'm a fool? I'll get what's mine. And I'll remember all of you!" He whirls and with a flourish of his cloak takes off running along the roofline. As he passes loose tiles break free and slide down the roof to topple over the edge and break with a loud crack on the paving stones below.

Begin Round 4: Syldar's action next.
