[LPF] Buyer's Remorse

[Aldern Foxglove]

Iosef thrusts his blade into the Mastiff's side, greviously wounding the burly canine, but failing to down it. Thaddeus makes short work of the dog before him. Once again the creature dissolves before streaking over to Secalli's satchel and disappearing within.

The reamining dog steps forward - over the "dead" Tengu - and goes for Borric. Its teeth close on his wrist leaving a bloody maw print!

OOC: Bran may take an attack of opportunity - but if he does so the dog may switch targets. Borric takes 3 damage. Borric is up!

 

[perrinmiller]

Borric grunts in pain and snarls through gritted teeth, "Aarghh! Get these ruttin' beasts off me." He goes with his turtle defense, doing his best to protect his soft spots as he tries to stand up and back away from the hounds.

[sblock=OOC]Standard Action: Total Defense +4AC
Move Action: Stand Up from Prone, provoking AoOs
Free Action: 5 foot step to G-9

Do the AoOs from standing up from prone go against his AC from Prone or after he stands up? That 4 points to AC can make a huge difference. But the answer won't change my actions.[/sblock]___________________________

Borric Hawkins

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: No thanks on the AoO. I don't think Brân could do enough damage to kill it, and his AC is only 10 right now due to being prone.

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

Borric raises his shield up to cover himself ans scrambles to his feet as both dogs try to take advantage of his distraction to savage him, the mastiff knocking aside his shield. When the canines are finished Borric lies in a spreading pile of his own gore obviously seconds from death!

OOC: Really dice roller? Yikes. Borric takes 9 damage! Borric is dying. Bran is up! Map remains the same.

[sblock=Prone]You do get the -4 to AC from being prone when rising, covered this in another thread recently and did some checking. Its the reason why you can't trip someone rising - because when the ao occurs they are considered prone, etc.[/sblock]

 

[perrinmiller]

Borric, bitten, tries to cry out, "Oh fu...ACK!" His words are choked off as he falls back bleeding to death.

[sblock=OOC]re: Prone. Thanks.

Yeah that dice roller. I think big brother heard me taking bad about it and that's the revenge. [/sblock]___________________________

Borric Hawkins

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: Well, crap.

Brân gathers his will and focuses on the dog atop his prone form. "Dryslyd bodoli!"

[sblock=Action]Cast Lesser Confusion on dog atop Brân, Will save DC 14 or be confused for one round and do 1d8 + STR to self.[/sblock]

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

Distracted by its chomping on Borric's innards the dog is unable to take advantage of Brân's spell casting. For a moment it looks distinctly puzzled, but it grits its teeth and snarls pushing the magics aside.

OOC: Sylvain is up! Map remains the same.

 

[Gerald007]

Seeing the warrior taken down by the attacks of the dogs, Sylvain swallows hard and realizes that he has to attempt to touch the warrior, getting by the dog. He tries to find an opening, reaches down and applies healing magic to Borric.

(I assume there will be an AoO to heal Borric. DM, use the first roll again...this dice roller is not going as smoothly for me as I hoped.)

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

Sylvain's magic stops Borric's bleeding and closes the worst of his injuries. The Bull Mastiff turns upon Brân and goes for his throat! For a horrifying moment it shakes the Tengu in its fangs, before Brân is able to slip free.

OOC: Brân takes 7 damage. Iosef is up!

 

[rb780nm]

Iosef swings at the larger of the remaining dogs with the silver longsword.
