Midnight: Peril in Arbordale

Darius looked to Thrarn and replied, "I'll cover him . . . call out if I'm needed in here." The implication was plain to Thrarn who had traveled with him for some time, that Darius was referring to his healing abilities.

Darius made his way to the room Alhadrial was in. He moved against the far wall and invoked a simple protection (Mage Armor). If time remained, Darius unslung his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming for the recently repaired window.

No sooner than everyone has taken up positions in the house, the front door is bashed inward violently. The door swings completely open, crashing into the wall where it shudders in it's hinges and then hangs there, ready to fall to the floor at a touch.

A burly man stands in the doorway, partially obscuring the woman behind him. The man is huge, standing six and a half feet tall and his broad arms indicate a life of hard work, maybe at the forge or in the fields. He has dark brown hair, peppered with a bit of gray. His eyes gleam wickedly and a half grin is on his face. He would look completely normal if it wasn't for the numerous ragged wounds on his neck, arms and chest. Some of the wounds on his neck, obviously caused by claws or teeth, are so hideous that it is amazing that his head is still attached to his body. A dark fluid can be seen slowly oozing from his many wounds. His bulk blocks the woman enough that it is impossible to get a good look at her.

Meanwhile at the back of the house, the newly-mended small window into the child's room bursts inward again, sending glass flying through the room. Clambering through the window is a young Dornish man. He appears to be in his teens or early twenties, with scraggly black hair that hangs to his shoulders. He is wearing no shirt and despite his youthful appearance, he is well-muscled. He chest is covered with wounds that appear to have been caused by a jagged cutting instrument, such as claws or teeth. The wounds are so hideous that several of his ribs are showing through his tattered flesh. The left side of his face is also a mess, the skin torn away from the glistening white bones of his skull. Another figure can be seen in the darkness outside the window, but details are impossible to discern.

OOC:
We'll go to initiative now. Assume that you all were able to perform whatever actions you listed in your last posts (i.e. pulling weapons, casting Mage Armor, etc.) prior to going into rounds. Here are the initiative totals:

Alhadrial 20
Thrarn 15
Fell 14
Dane 10
Kuknar 9
Elidur 7
Darius 6

No suprise as both sides were aware and ready. Actions for round 1?
 

OOC

OOC:
Here is the map of the current situation.

J=Jarnath
T=Thrarn
D=Darius
S=Dane Swift
K=Kuknar
A=Alhadrial
E=Elidur
F1-4=Fell

The doors can be assumed to be open, except for the exterior door. The white blocks are windows. The grid is 5 foot squares.

I'll delete the maps from the thread after we are done with them to keep the thread from being too cluttered.

EDIT: Deleted the map from this post in order to update it and post it further down in the thread.

Thrarn takes aim on the large fell that burst through the front door and shoots an arrow at him. Quickly he reloads and shoots again.



OOC: Will use Rapid Shot feat to fire two arrows. Plus have Point Blank shot & weapon focus for my bow (+8 attack bonus). -2 for rapid shot, so +6 attack bonus overall for this round.
I am not sure if it matters, but Jarnath (J) is not on the map.

Oh, and make sure you wash your hands very good before you leave the girls room.

Darius will attack with his bow either F3 or F4 whichever is unengaged with a melee foe. If both are battling, then Darius will drop his bow and pull his longsword, moving to help attack one of the fell.

"Well, this is not a surprise, though I thought it would have been the child," Darius said. He wondered if his curing spells would harm the fell, and whether he should use them when they may be needed later.

OOC: Toric, awesome map, what did you use? Also, has Darius had any experience with fighting fell (does healing harm them, kill them?)
 

OOC: Keia, Fractal Mapper was used to create the map. Thrarn, Jarnath is on the map. He is in the chair in front of the fireplace. Look for a very light white "J". As for experience fighting the Fell, let's assume that everyone has heard of them but none of you have actually fought any of them.

Toric

Alhadrial scrambles up onto the table next to the window, quickdraws two fighting knives, and casts aid on himself.

Let's hope knives and arrows have meaning to these creatures.
