mleibrock's in-game thread for Council of Thieves

[mleibrock]

OOC - Mike, I think you mean to state Liath's iniative in your stat block (you said Janiven) and right now...no, no one is manning the crossbow on top of the wagon.

 

[mleibrock]

During the surprise round, Janiven looses an arrow right into the head of HK1 atop the horseback and it is a deadly shot. The men also fell 3 more of the hellknights (8, 10 and 11 are down). Red boxes indicate less than 0 HP. The wagon has stopped just past the bridge and those knights who have not gone out to attack the forward group have surrounded the wagon to protect it.


Liath and Dru are up.

Attached is an updated map and here is the initiative order:

Liath - 19
Dru - 18
HK6 - 17
HK2 - 15
HK9 - 13
Suzume - 12
Anundr - 10
Man 6 - 9
Man 1 - 9
HK12 - 8
Man 2 - 8
Tiko - 8
Man 4 - 7
Janiven - 7
HK5 - 6
HK7 - 6
Man 5 - 5
HK4 - 5
Man 3 - 3
HK3 - 3

OOC: Still waiting on Liath and Dru?

Dru, having no good missile attack (they're not in hand axe range yet), and much preferring up-close-and-personal melee work anyway, remains where he is and as still as he can be for now.

Liath stands just long enough to loose an arrow of her own, which flies off into the wind without coming close to a foe, then crouches once more in hopes that she won't be noticed just yet.
​

[/section]

[sblock=Actions/Rolls]Longbow Attack, Damage (1d20+5=12, 1d8=7) Pretty sure that misses, but lemme know if I need to retcon the post for some damage.[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Suzume tries to stay hidden waiting for just the right moment to pop up and loose a bolt before charging to the attack.

[sblock=ooc] Just waiting for the Hellknights. [/sblock]

 

[mleibrock]

Mike, 12 does indeed miss, 1d20+2=11 (perception roll for Hellknight noticing your arrow) - Let's say your miss was bad enough that the Hellknight did not even notice you shot at him. Dru stays put.

Hellknight #6 perception roll(1d20+2=4), is oblivious to the rest of your group.

Hellknight #2 on horseback swings his Masterwork Longsword at Man 3 (1d20+6=23) and hits decisively, doing maximum damage (1d8+2=10). The wounded man stumbles from the impact and falls to his knees. He's not dead yet but he is certainly injured badly.

Knight 9 chooses attacks Man 1 and hits (1d20+6=19) for (1d8+2=5) 5 pts of damage.


Suzume and Anundr are up.

 

[Scotley]

Suzume raises the crossbow taken from a dead Hellknight in the sewers. Perhaps the dead man's spirit haunts the weapon for the bolt flies well wide of the mark (Hellknight #5H). With a squawk of dismay he abandons the cursed thing and moves toward the wagon (to say L16) pulling his blade.

 

[Leif]

Drulox "Dru" Xorik, human Order of the Dragon Cavalier L2

Dru falls in with Suzume, headed for, say, K16.

 

[mleibrock]

Suzume and Dru move out into the open and the trailing two hellknights atop horses (5 and 6) clearly take notice. We'll wait a little longer for Anundr.
