[LPF] Kaedyn's Quest

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

"Bah, I should have thought of this," Ru whispers. His lips thin, then he tells Damaris, "Have him make a shushing gesture, then point back to the wood as if he's found something close by that might hear them if they don't shut their traps. Then have him start moving out of sight toward it, as if he doesn't have time to wait for them to figure him out. If he stands there too long, they'll just gather more; if he runs off quickly enough, maybe they'll give chase."

[sblock=ooc]There's no way Ru can be the primary on a Bluff with an illusion he's not casting, but I figure he might reasonably give 'bluff advice' for Damaris?

Bluff (aid another) (1d20+10=14)

Should give a +2 to her roll. And even if it doesn't work as a bluff, I figure the 'running off' bit might reasonably draw someone out. Ru's still holding off on vanishing until someone moves.[/sblock]

Damaris will try her best with a bluff through the illusion to follow Ru's instructions to try to get them out of the fort. If she's able to do both, she will also cast Ghost Sound of gnolls laughing and cheering a little far back, as if the rest of his group was behind him in the forest.

Bluff 1d20+10=27

~ Day 15, 13:43 - Miles North of Thornbury ~

The two gnolls exchange a few words gesturing towards the gnoll scout that started retreating into the undergrowth. Together they moved the barricade a little so one of them could easily slip past.

With one gnoll guard remaining at the gateway watching, the other moved towards you.

Rhas draws a bead on the gnoll at the gate and waits patiently.

Ru suppresses a sigh, then shrugs, vanishing from view.

"Keep drawing this one to you. I'm going for the gate. Hopefully we can still time this out," comes the soft whisper from thin air.

It's unclear if the southerner waits for a response, though. Was it a soft breeze that shifted the brush, or Ru making good on his whispered plan?

[sblock=ooc]

Swift: Vanishing Trick
Full round Move: to AA22. No penalty to Stealth check for moving full speed due to Ninja Trick.

Invisible moving Stealth (1d20+32=37)

Wow. Hooray for the Invisiblity bonus to Stealth, since that roll was baaaad.

Umthrim moves quietly on an intercept course, hoping that he can charge the creature and stun it with a quick hit if he needs to. Acid starts to drop from his hands again, causing a slight hissing sound.

~ Day 15, 13:43 - Miles North of Thornbury ~

The pair of dwarves proved to not be the most stealthy and the gnoll yelled at the image of the withdrawing archer and pointed right at Umthirn. He was quite animated about it and confused why the gnoll scout did not appear to see the dwarf.

The gnoll at the gate yelled as well, but more questioning in his tone.

The gnoll outside the fort drew his javelin and chucked it ineffectually at the dwarf he saw. The one inside drew his battle axe as he moved to cover the opening and was yelling what was probably an alarm.

[jackslate45]

Noticing the creature is just out of reach of him, Umthirm watches him with a close eye as he approaches, hoping the 2 longer ranged characters can get the ones in the back. Once close enough to hopefully entice the gnoll to attack, he takes up a defensive stance, ready to dodge the attack at it gets close. "Comon ugly, javalins are nothing compared to what I got comming for ya."

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

Ru bites his invisible tongue as things quickly go to pot. Hoping to silence the gnoll at the gate before it can raise enough alarm or actually re-secure the gate, he calls on his inner reserves to dart across the grass and get into position to attack. While his blade manages to cut a nasty gash in the dog-man's side, it fails to drop the creature as the ninja blurs back into view.

"Well, this is awkward, isn't it?" he whispers to the wounded gnoll.

[sblock=ooc]Swift: ki point to increase speed by 20' for one round

Move (50'): to U17

Attack: 1d20+9, +2 invisible (vs. AC 16), 1d6 damage, +2d6 sneak attack

Wakizashi (+9 base, +2 invisible) attack vs. Gnoll 2; Damage; Sneak Attack Damage (1d20+11=18, 1d6=2, 2d6=6)

Oh for the love of ... seriously? 8 damage, so gnoll-at-the-gate is still up. On the upside, he's in a position where Rhas couldn't hit him, anyway, so Ru's not ruining more by turning into soft cover. Still, I can't manage 11 bloody damage with three damage dice? Lame. Sneak attack, you and I are feuding now. [/sblock]
