Midnight: Peril in Arbordale

Slightly taken aback by the grotesque presence of the man coming through the window, Elidur tightens the grip on his sword and swings forward, saying [norther]"Come on, you poor bastard. I'll help put you to rest."[/norther]
 

Dane Swift

Seeing that nothing is happening in the cobbler's room Dane rushes into the child's room to help out there. When he arives he prepares himself for the fell to strike.

Fell 14

Kuknar 9
Elidur 7
Darius 6

IC:
Alhadrial climbs onto the table near the window in the small bedroom, deftly pulls two fighting knives and casts the Aid spell on himself. (6 temporary hit points from the Aid spell)

Thrarn lets loose two shots from his longbow in rapid succession. The first one is poorly shot, missing widely but the second strikes home, thudding into the large man's chest. He staggers slightly but does not fall. (6 points of damage to F1)

The Fell stream into the house, their state of undeath apparent from both the look of their bodies and the stench emanating from them. None of them are armed. The large man at the front door (F1) jumps up on the counter diagonal to Kuknar and swings a meaty forearm at the dworg. Kuknar manages to duck the attack. The female behind the large man (F2) enters the house and moves around the counter to stand next to Kuknar. She also attacks the dworg, attacking with her fists but he manages to avoid her attack as well. Now that she has moved in where she can be seen, she would appear fairly normal looking if not for the wide slashing wound to her abdomen. The wound leaks dark fluids and is quite disgusting. She wears clothing but the shirt is so ruined that it is easy to see the wound. Back in the bedroom, the young man (F3) steps to the side clearing the way for the last Fell to enter the room. The well-muscled youth attacks Alhadrial who crouches on the table. His fist clubs the elf in the ribs, causing him to emit a gasp of pain (8 points of damage - the 6 points gained from Aid are gone and 2 of Alhadrial's actual hit points as well). The last creature (F4) enters the window and closes with Elidur and Darius but is unable to attack. He appears to have been a farmer in life but is now covered with hideous wounds on his face, neck and exposed arms. He wears peasant clothing, suitable for the weather in the north.

Dane moves quickly back to the smaller bedroom and as he moves into the room, is suprised to see two of the creatures already engaged with Alhadrial, Darius and Elidur. He is nearly face to face with the Fell who was once a farmer. Short sword already in hand, he swings it at the abomination and hits, but it is only a glancing blow causing minimal damage (3 points of damage to F4).

Kuknar swings his axe at the large man on the counter, hitting him hard, so hard in fact that he is knocked off he counter. He lands with a loud crash and doesn't move (14 points of damage to F1).

Elidur swings his short sword at the Fell farmer (F4) but misses him.

Darius drops his bow and pulls his longsword to attack the farmer Fell that he is now facing (F4). Despite the haste to change weapons, his swing hits the creature hard, cutting deeply into his midsection (critical hit doing 8 points of damage to F4). The creature staggers sideways slightly but doesn't fall.

OOC: Actions for next round? I'll update the map tomorrow. No time to do it now. Hopefully everyone understands the situation from my descriptions.
 


OOC: Not sure how close Thrarn is to the remaining fell with him and Kuknar, so will have two different attacks based on that.
Also just want to make sure you are adding my damage bonus from having a Mighty Longbow (+2 STR bonus).

IC:
If the fell is close enough to Thrarn to drop his bow and pull his sword to attack then will do so.

If he will be unable to attack with his sword this round, then he will shoot another arrow at the female fell.

Darius will keep an eye out for anyone getting serious hurt (if so he will move to them cast CLW, defensively). Otherwise, he will continue his attack on the fell he just struck or move to one on Alhadrial if F4 is dead.

Darius doesn't have any witty comments in the face of these abominations of life. Just a feeling of sadness at the original loss of life and the determination to finish the creature's passing into the beyond.
 

Kuknar seems satisfed that the large man has been dealt with. He then turns to the female next to him and swings his axe at her.
