[LPF] Distant Relations

[sblock=Second Floor]
GM: You may already be aware, but since I had to double check it, myself:

Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the spell

So Quioan can smash the window and still stay invisible. Darnit. :p [/sblock]

OOC: Yeah, it was seeing that Quioan could still stay invisible that made this start to seem a viable course of action.

Edit: realized that I had mentioned buying blunt arrows way back. That makes the rolls a lot easier. I'd been planning on chucking a chair. ;)
As much as he'd like to tell Garthia off, Quioan wisely opts to keep his retorts to himself for the time being. Instead, the elf steps back into the western chamber. Positioning himself out of Garthia's line of sight, Quioan reaches for a blunt arrow, experiencing the calm certainty that accompanies routine as he nocks, aims, and fires at the western window in a single, streamlined action. He lets two arrows fly, for good measure.
OOC: 5' step to F4, fire two blunt arrows with rapid shot. That should take care of the window.

My hope is that, if Quioan fires straight west from his position, Garthia won't see the arrows; because of this, he won't know whether Quioan jumped out of the window, or what.

[sblock=Second Floor]The pair of arrows shatter the glass, their weight pulling the heavy curtains with them to dangle from the broken shards at the base of the sill. Garthia rushes into the chamber, surveying the courtyard below.

"Master Herald!" calls a voice from below "The alarm! What's--?"

"Spies in the temple! They've defiled our Lady's bedchamber! Join your brothers in the worship hall to kill them! Two of them are female, the other will be set upon by my hell hounds! One of them is still up here, invisible!"

"I'm not a fool," the herald says, his voice lower now, looking back over his shoulder to the room. "There's no imprint on the dirt of the courtyard. That means you're still here. I'm going to find you, and I'm going to char your flesh from your bones for what you've done,"

[sblock=First Floor]"Ow! That hurt!" the acolyte cries as he takes Audra's blow. He lashes out with his own blade in pain and rage, finally drawing blood.

The priest, meanwhile, continues to focus on Elenka, but the extra speed of her spell gives her the wherewithal to dodge his thrust this time.

Yoshiki, separated from the others, continues to suffer the fiery attention of the hounds. The one further up the stairs barrels at him, but he spins quickly out of way of its snapping jaws. The dodge, unfortunately, sends him into the maw of the other beast, where he discovers that the animals' bites bring not just the danger of teeth, but of fire, as well. The bite draws blood and sears it at the same time.

Thon, from his position on the wall, watches it all with the panicked back-and-forth turning of his head.

"Gods, I can't … I can't…" Thon mutters, then barrels for the door, rushing, panicked, between priest and elemental, heedless of the fact that one or both might take his head off as he shoves the doors open to flee. The doors swing open, then closed again as his feet clatter across the marble.

GM: Elemental has an AoO on Thon if he wants to take it

OOC: Sorry to keep with the questions...

Would the doors to the room happen to have these kinds of handles? If so, I was considering having Quioan try the following:

5' Step back to G5, drop bow (free), draw rapier (move), close and bar door with rapier (standard).

I'll admit that that last one might be a bit too much to crunch into a standard action. Just let me know what you think.

[sblock=First Floor]Audra tries to feint back, but catches her calf, and robe, on a bench, throwing her off of her stride long enough for the acolyte's swipe to catch her from side to side across her stomach. She gives a short yelp and stops her back pedal. She looks up at the Acolyte, clenches her fists and launches a counter attack. The first strike, a straight right, finds it's mark square on the jaw, knocking the Acolyte's head back. Her second swing of a left gets again caught up in the robe, causing her to miss and throwing her third blow, another right, off timing, allowing the Acolyte to avoid the swing.[/sblock]

[sblock=Second Floor]Normal doorknob doors, I'm afraid. What you're talking about would be at the entrance of the temple itself and the worship hall, not any bedrooms.

FYI, while it's creative, I'd be inclined to require a Disable Device check (with improvised tools) for something like that, since "sabotaging doors" is part of the explicit description for that skill. Looks like the fastest action for that is a full round rather than a move.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=First Floor]"Leave Thon be!" commands Elenka.

The elemental ignores the fleeting figure of Thon sweeping past him and instead surges forward and swipes at the priest. His mallet-like fist misses but the creature brings it around for another attack that is much more successful...

Elenka in mirrored action chops into the priest's side on her first strike but she yanks the terbutje back and tries to muscle it around for a second strike unsuccessfully. Blood drips from the jagged blades and she sends up a near-silent prayer to Lesovic, "Let it be enough!"

[sblock=First Floor]Audra's fist leaves the Acolyte reeling, but still standing. Likewise, while bloodied and breathing heavily, the priest remains standing after the assault he takes from elemental and summoner combined.

Yoshiki's opponent isn't so lucky. The fiery hound yelps as first one attack, then a second connects. As Yoshiki unleases his elemental assault, the hound whimpers. Its flame and smoke are snuffed; its form frosts over. Then it shatters into a million tiny shards of ice which almost as quickly melt and evaporate into a mist.

GM: I realize all PCs on this floor have acted, but I'm going to hold off updating enemy actions until after Qik posts for upstairs. You're currently synched up time-wise. Between masks and invisibility effects and two locations, I think I might go a bit mad if I let one floor get ahead of the other on top of all that and had to try to keep track of who was 'when.' Hopefully you understand. :)

[sblock=ooc]Makes sense. Last thing we want is to drive you insane. Or make you have to have another of us leave our post to show you where the bathroom is. :D[/sblock]
