[LPF] Kaedyn's Quest

[mfloyd3]

Umthirn nods at the bard's words, but a glance down the hallway gives him pause. His cousin is undaunted as ever, but his clothing is soaked in his own blood. Comrades make war merrier, he thinks, recalling an old Dwarven proverb.

"What say ye', cousin?" he calls. "Push on or regroup?"

[sblock=ooc]
I don't want to abuse the system with too much communication, but perhaps we can briefly talk tactics? I think this might be a case where pushing ahead is unwise. Between the broken terrain and the surviving Tiefling, the dwarves are 2-3 rounds ahead of the other party members at a minimum. The dwarves have also taken a respectable beating -- Neither is at death's door, but they take as much damage in the next room as they did in the current one, they go down.

If we wait 2 rounds before going in, the bad guys get time to prepare, which is obviously bad. On the other hand, the dwarves get time to buff/heal and the other party members can catch up. Damaris can hit the room with Glitterdust and Grease spells, and Ru can slip around invisibly until he gets a chance for a big strike. It's hard to be sure, but I think this is a time where a break in the action might do us more good than the enemy.

Circumstances make this Systole's call (and I'm fine with that), as if Rhas pushes on Umthirn has no choice but to follow. But there's my 2 coppers.

[sblock=OOC] I agree with waiting a little to finish this one up and heal. I wasn't expecting there to be an additional room with people there. BTW, Damaris also has a couple of alchemist fire, x2 oils and pyrotechnics for a smoke cloud... > All within the cloud take –4 penalties to Strength and Dexterity (Fortitude negates). After that she can cast Grease in there to spice things up. We would have to stay by the entrance tho. What do you think of that?[/sblock]

 

[Systole]

Rhas spits an explosive curse. "Fall back! The whoreson got away." He heads back toward the intersection, dropping his axe and drawing his crossbow.

[sblock=OOC]I don't love the idea of letting them have prep time, but the ambush and the trap hosed us.

Double move to S59, unless Damaris is planning on a 5 ft step back, in which case S60 instead. Drop axe as a free action, drop crossbow as part of the move. I don't know where that puts the axe -- preferably as far back as possible.[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]Rhas Ironeyes

Umthirn nods to his cousin as the red-bearded dwarf dashes by. He ducks behind a corner, draws a flask from his pouch and downs it, wincing at the foul taste.

Ru sighs as the tiefling pulls further into the darkness again.

"There, there, I'm sure you're not as unslightly as all that. But if you insist on only crossing swords in the dark, it certainly wouldn't be my first time," Ru quips, then grits his teeth and strides back into the darkness to slash at the creature. His form is good, but he hits nothing but air.

[sblock=ooc]Move to T63, attack.

Wakizashi attack v T1; damage; concealment (high = hit) (1d20+9=23, 1d6=4, 1d100=43)

~ Day 15, 13:52 - Miles North of Thornbury ~

Damaris stepped back and fired another arrow, but it glanced off the tiefling's armor. Ru managed to stick him though.

The lone tiefling showed no sign of surrender, backed into a corner literally. He tried to stab the human male instead of pursuing the female to open himself up to a flanking. It was poor attempt that Ru was able to turn aside with his own blade.

OOC: Combat: Round 4 – Everyone is up

"Looks like it's getting brighter. If you fall down, does the sun finally come back?" Ru asks.

Ru continues slicing, but the shadows give the tiefling enough play to dance out of the way of the southerner's blade.

[sblock=ooc]TWF attack vs. t1; damage; concealment (over 20 = hit) (1d20+7=26, 1d6=2, 1d100=3, 1d20+7=22, 1d6=1, 1d100=18)[/sblock]

"Sweet dreams, love" Damaris will shoot at the tiefling just as she finish her song. She sent both arrows flying at his back while he was still fighting Ru. "That's done. Let's get you quickly patched up guys. We can't be late for our welcome party"

Rhas levels his crossbow at the tiefling. "Step away, lassie." He fires a volley of bolts, all of which strike the wall. Seeing the dead tiefling, the dwarf blinks. "Wellae ... nice work then." He turns toward the door, crossbow ready.

[sblock=OOC]Wait on Damaris to move out of the way. Rapid fire, DA, PBS (1d20+11=14, 1d10+7=14, 1d20+11=28, 1d10+7=11, 1d20+6=14, 1d10+7=16)

[sblock] I believe the tiefling was killed by Damaris during her action. Otherwise, sure, she should be able to clear the path for him. [/sblock]
