Malvoisin's Savage Tide, Act 1 - There Is No Honor

[Malvoisin]

COMBAT ROUND 3

Keoni steps around to the zombie's rear to flank the thing with Anar, but his dagger misses by a mile.

Kalen waits for Chongo to give him some room.

Anar tries to take advantage of Keoni's position behind the dead pirate, but fares no better. The sickle misses its mark.

Col stands with wand at the ready, hopeful that no more charges must be expended.

The mad one's hopes are for naught, as the zombie once again lays into Anar with its toothsome jaws, and the unfortunate rogue falls once more, savagely bitten. Anar's life blood spills out on the cold stone floor.

Col once more strives again to minimize the damage, tapping the fallen Anar with the bone wand. The rogue's wounds close up some once more, but he remains unconscious.

Chongo steps over to the zombie's side, and hacks at it again with his handaxe. This time, the axe's blade cleaves directly into the zombie's chest, and the thing falls with a low moan. It twitches once upon its collapse, then lies still.

Chongo grins wickedly, his white teeth gleaming in the lit chamber. "Chongo think Chongo hit him hard enough for Col."

Breathing heavily from the exertion of the battle, Keoni surveys the room in which they find themselves. He looks over the group and their assorted wounds and haggard looks.

"If we remove our hosts, this room will probably suit us for the night. One check for anything else lurking in the shadows, and then we should rest, prepare for our escape on the morrow."

[sblock=ooc]Aura: Senses (+1 spot, listen, initiative)

If nothing wants to eat us in here, it is probably time to drag the zombies out, barricade the door shut and try and rest.[/sblock]

(Search Check)

Keoni begins checking out the room carefully. There are numerous shelves and barrels which indicate that this room was certainly used for storage long ago. Unfortunately, most of the items that once stocked the room have since decayed, rusted, or spoiled. However, Keoni's efforts turn up several lengths of rope, some dusty sacks, a few barrels of still-potable water, a hammer, and a hooded lantern (although no oil). There seems to nothing else remarkable or threatening about this room.

The old man grins and nods at Chongo's remark, and pats the man on the shoulder. When Anar comes too, he once again taps the rogue with the wand. "You do need ta stop bath'n in whatever ya use, son. Them hungry dead do be like'n yer taste."

Seeing the others prepare for the night, Col paces back and forth a bit, deep in thought. "Mayhap Anar go listen at tha' other door ta make sure nothin' still thar. Then, maybe we can tie them thar ropes near the door ta rig some sort of noise make'n ta help keep guard?"

OOC: Xp and 3 charged noted.

(One more use of the wand raises Anar's hp by 4 to 8/8)

 

[GwydapLlew]

The stocky warrior pats the quiver strapped to his waist. "Chongo can block door with javelins, spears."

 

[Rhun]

This is truly getting ridiculous," says Anar as Col heals him. "No offense meant to any of you, but I would much rather regain consciousness in a nice, comfortable house of ill repute than here with you."

At Col's suggestion, Anar nods and moves to listen at the door.

"Chongo likes whores and ale as much as next man, but Chongo no knows how Anar knows way out. This good place; we sleep here, rest."

 

[Legildur]

Even though he lacks any real firepower until after they rest, Bael accompanies Anar to the doors in the room they originally entered. "I'd love to get out of here tonight," he mutters as the pair make their way to the doors.
