Midnight: Peril in Arbordale

[Toric_Arthendain]

OOC:
Initiative:
Dane 26
Darius 14
Sarcosan Man 14 (dead)
Huge Dornish Man 11
Kuknar 10
Elidur 7
Thrarn 7 (at -5 hit points)
Little Girl 6 (gone)

IC:
On the verge of unconciousness, Dane again strikes at the Dorn and finally hits, cutting a deep slash across the midsection of his huge opponent. However, at the end of his swing, Dane falls to the floor unconcious and bleeding. (OOC: 7 points of damage to the Dorn. Dane was at 0 hit points and the attack action takes him to -1 and bleeding.)

Darius moves to Thrarn and casts a quick minor healing spell on him, which stops his bleeding and stabilizes him. (OOC: Thrarn is holding at -5 hit points)

With two of his opponents down around him, the Dorn lets out an ear piercing howl and strikes at Kuknar, hitting the dworg and nearly knocking him off his feet. (OOC: 14 points of damage to Kuknar)

Kuknar steps forward and flanks the giant Dorn, lets out a blood churning scream and attacks. His axe bites deep this time and the Dorn gasps and falls flat on his face. (OOC: 14 points of damage)

OOC:
We are out of combat for the moment. The little girl has disappeared and both the Sarcosan and Dorn are dead. I'll assume that someone binds Dane's wounds or otherwise stabilizes him.
Damage totals:
Dane = 22 points (currently at -1 hit points)
Elidur = 1 point
Kuknar = 28 points
Darius = 7 points
Thrarn = 34 points (currently at -5 hit points)

Dorn = dead
Sarcosan = dead
Little Girl = uninjured and gone
Actions?

 

[Keia]

Darius will use two minor healing cantrips to bring Dane to +1 and will burn a point of Con (will recover after 8 hours rest) to power a CLW for Thrarn to get him up and moving.

"Search the bodies and perhaps the tunnel from which they came. I'm depleted and we all need some rest. Someone see where the girl went? She stabbed me then disappeared while I was helping Elidur," Darius said, clearly exhausted.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

OOC: Thrarn gets 11 points back, bringing him up to 6 hit points. Dane is at 1 hit point.

 

[maddmic]

Kuknar, breathing heavily roars a triumphat cry. Then looking around at the others, his breathing begins to return to normal. "Girl? The girl cowering struck at you? If you can spare a moment, I should like to rest. Just a minute or two to catch my breath, and then we shall be on the hunt again." With that, Kuknar looks around the area with his darkvision to see if he sees the girl anywhere.

 

[Mirth]

OOC: Sorry if I'm holding the game up. A two-day out-of-towner became a four-day all-star event (that's also the most hyphens I think I've ever put in one sentence). I'll try and post tomorrow.

 

[Mirth]

Elidur sinks to his knees as well, exhausted from the brutal fight. "Well done, Dworg. I thought that giant would never fall... Perhaps someone should search the dead and see if they carry any healing salves. The Sarcosan seemed to be familiar with magic."

Looking around, the smaller Dorn tries to spot any evidence of where the girl might have gone. "We shouldn't stay here. Although there were only three open graves, there still might be more enemies about and none of us is prepared to face another challenge like that we just conquered. Best to return to the inn and rest up. The girl should be easy enough to find in the morn."

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Looking around the immediate area, the girl is nowhere in sight. The quiet in the cave is unnerving after the sounds of heated battle. The bodies of the dead turn up nothing of serious interest aside from the gore-spattered greataxe and heavy mace. The Sarcosan is fairly well-dressed, although the clothes are now a mess from the wounds he suffered. Given the fact that both he and the Dorn were not truly living when the battle began, the clothes are somewhat of an oddity. His armor is also quite a nice set of chainmail. With a bit of cleaning, it would be more than serviceable.

OOC: Okay folks, what's the verdict? Are you planning to explore the cave complex further right now? Or heading back to town to rest up?

 

[Keia]

OOC: Okay folks, what's the verdict? Are you planning to explore the cave complex further right now? Or heading back to town to rest up?

OOC: my vote is to strip the bodies, burn them and head back to the inn for some rest . . . it's been a rough night. Also, someone will have to carry Alhadriel back to the inn.

 

[Mirth]

"Well, the armor and weapons should be useful to us, so we'll keep them," Elidur nods at Darius' suggestion. "We can burn the bodies here, I suppose. Then let's head back. I'll help carry Alhadrial..." the last part fades as the Dorn thinks of his fallen companion.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Dane Swift

"I hate to say it, but those guys threw us a major beating. We need to go back to the inn and recover." Dane struggles to his feet and regeftfully looks further into the cave as he staggers his way out.
