[LPF] Faith and Good Works

Orlando Furioso

Fury nods thoughtfully, "True. But Serroth is a god of war so it is a logical assumption. I think it best to be prepared just in case. How about you use that long weapon of yours, Cythera? Let Bren and myself stand at your side and guard your flank while you ready yourself and wait for their charge. We'll be ready, too, of course, for when they get closer. As long as we stick together, advance slowly, and are ready for any charges then I think we'll be ok." He taps the book of scriptures for emphasis.

"I won't complain if it isn't a fight, though."

GM: There are junky, rusty shields lying around amongst the junky, rusty assorted weapons and junky, rusty assorted armor. They are essentially worthless, and almost certainly have the fragile quality. I'm not meta-suggesting that you use the crappy shields or not, but your characters would almost certainly notice them during their discussion.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera has an encouraging smile, "Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, a difference in tactics is a good idea. I prefer to start with my glaive. Or even some ranged weapons for an opening exchange."

"Standing and letting them come to us, is also a good tactic while having a blade set and ready to swing when the enemy closes. I just meant that I am mostly adept at two-handed weapons and no shields."

She has no interest in the broken down shield lying around, considering them worthless and not very useful.

OOC: Thanks, Systole.

Bren follows along with the other two, listening to their conversation. "Aye, we'll watch your flanks, m'lady. I have no shield . . . I can use them, but have always found my hands more useful. My hands, my strength of spirit and my faith have always provided all the shield I need.

That said, I can call upon my Gods to provide some protection, and to summon a weapon of faith to harry them from the sides or rear. And as before, I can imbue our limbs with divine favor."

Fury nudges one of the broken shields with the toe of his boot.

"Never much got the hang of using one of those things. Plus, in my neighborhood it tended to mean you were either a professional soldier or a White Cloak wanna-be. Neither were very popular in Planks." He shrugs. "I'll manage without one; I have this far. So, we ready to go?"

GM: I'll advance to Zeyal's room in a day or so, barring objections, since the site seems to be back and everyone has checked in.

 

[Systole]

The party enters rose chamber, which is identical to the gold chamber with the exception of color. As they step through the veils, first two guardians, then another and another shimmer into existence. As before, the constructs are not yet manifesting any sort of armor, shields, or weaponry, although it seems likely that they will as soon as battle is engaged. Like the other guardians, they stand ready but motionless, awaiting your actions.

From the hallway, Carak's nails click on the stone as he paces back and forth.

GM: Once you step across the last veil, the guardians will give the party a surprise round before we get to initiative. The guardians will NOT be flat-footed during this time. If you want to rearrange your locations and/or buff up, let me know.

[Maidhc O Casain]

The cleric once more prays for the blessings of the Gods of Irthos on the party's endeavor (cast Bless).

OOC: Have one copy of Bull's Strength - my suggestion is to cast it on Cytheria as her two-handed weapons will get the most mileage. Don't know if you want it this fight or not. Plan is to cast Spiritual Hammer once we're inside so I can attack with it and concentrate innate skills on defense and buffs.

Fury waits while Breninyr beseeches his god for a blessing. When the man finishes Fury nods his readiness. Even though the constructs are near and likely to hear what he is saying the rogue whispers.

"Ok, let's try this. Step forward and ready for their assault."

[sblock=OOC]When the time comes Fury will take a 5 ft. step, then ready a standard action to attack any construct that comes within his threatened range.
5 ft. step to L9

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera comments, "I wonder if your tactics had to do with being able to do more effective damage, Fury. When you flanked them, did you do more?"

"Hmm, let us dance with them and see if our tactics changes things this time."

She begins dancing and steps through the veil alongside Fury and Bren, Glaive ready for the first construct within range.

[Sblock=Actions & OOC]OOC: I say use the Bull's Strength now, cuz after this fight we should head to the other one before it expires.
