Tiko? You with us?

 

[Lou]

OOC: Sorry, been at a bar leadership conference. There's a picture on FB of me with Nolan Richardson. I'll post tomorrow morning.

IC: Tiko asks, "Doesn't anyone have a torch or something? We need light down this way to see if we can go this way." She sees no opponent, so she keeps looking for a light source.

 

[mleibrock]

Liath,

You're up.

Silent now, Liath fires off another shot, but she rushes it and the arrow clatters as it strikes the wall beside the lead HellKnight. Quickly taking stock of the situation, she stands her ground and throws out a taunt, hoping to draw them in to Anundr and Dru's ambush.

[sblock=OOC]Mike, I missed few things last round - Liath is +2 TH/Damage/Survival/Sense Motive/etc. against these fellas if they're Human. Doesn't make a damn bit of difference this round as her attack roll was a 9 even with the +2 but she could have done 2 points more damage last round.

Also, they had a 50% miss chance against her last round because (I think) the lighting was dim where she's standing. I can't remember if either of the folks standing next to her now has a light source or not, so I'm not sure this round.

Interesting that the character in the group best at sneaking and attacking from the flanks has become the lighted target, while the two big, bad-assed fighters are hiding around the corner like little girls . . . [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC] Thanks for letting me know Mike, I missed that too. I'll give you the 2 extra points of damage but I'm going to let the past hit stand. Moving forward, I'll roll the miss chance

All, if your character has any special abilities like mike has mentioned, please mention them as we begin fighting so I can keep them fresh in my mind. I know you've worked hard on these characters and I don't want to short change you of any benefits you have. [/sblock]

Cesspit fight

Liath hears two more crossbow bolts fire, though she only sees one approach her. She sees the metallic tip glean as it zooms in and wonders how it missed her. The Fetchling strains to see down the hallway and she makes out 3 figures.


[sblock=OOC] Good thing you told me about the miss chance. FYI, the natural one roll caused this crossbow's bow to break. Lucky for you.

Dru is up.

Drulox ("Dru") Xorik, Human, Order of the Dragon Cavalier1

Du is going to stay right where he is now until the Hellknights approach closer to his position. His intent is to move out from his cover and engage the lead Hellknight in melee, thus blocking the other Hellknightsa from moving forward and bottling-up all the bad guys. Dru is not overanxious to battle the Hellknights, but thinks he can buy more time for his friends to escape by making his stand here. He motions to his companions, although they may not be able to see his gesture due to the dim light, and indicates that they should continue their flight without him.

[MENTION=29548]mleibrock[/MENTION]: Dru Prepares an action to step out in front of the lead Hellknight as he approaches Dru's position, thus keeping the rest of the hellknights bottled-up behind him.

[Rhun]

Anundr stands his ground, somewhat incredulous that companions that had been so interested in fleeing the hellknights at first suddenly now seemed bent on engaging them.

 

[mleibrock]

That leaves Suzume and Trevor and then we move to the top of round 2 and Anundr.
