synopis of round two

Anundr doesn't move, he seems to be simply waiting for the hellknights to approach.

Janiven comes racing sown the hall but stops short when she reaches Anundr seemingly unsure of how to proceed since the wooden planks they used before are no longer in place

A crossbow bolt again comes racing toward Liath but it is off the mark and sails right on by her.

Tiko comes from the NW hallway screaming she needs a light and stops in the center area near Liath.

Liath again draws back her bow and an audible thud followed by a grunt is heard as her arrow must have hit it's target.

Trevor moves quickly down the hall and around Anundr. Rather than jumping the sewage stream where the planks used to be (and risk failing a dex check), he runs right through it. He finally halts his progression at E16 and fires twice at the Hellknight in front. (#3). Both bolts fly just wide right, bouncing off the wall of the hallway. (Todd, your dex check's are at -2 for the next 2 runs as your feet are very slippery from the muck)

Hellkight 1 pushes down the one in front of him so he can get a clear shot at the new target (Trevor). As he fires, the hellknight in front loses his balance and the shooter loses his balance as well and the shot goes into the others arm. Both end up in a heap on the ground.

Suzume comes pounding back down the passage his wings extended slightly in excitement. He stops behind Janiven and mutters a quick spell in his native tongue. While the 'words' are more like squawks, clicks and whistles the rhythm of a prayer can still be discerned. He switches awkwardly to the local language. "We must move that way before more Hellknights arrive." He gestures West with his blade. OOC: Cast Guidance on Janiven granting her a +1 competence bonus on an attack rolls, save or skill check in the next minute.

Dru heads south from his present position and heads to C,13

[Rhun]

Anundr knows if they continue to give battle here that the group will be surrounded and taken. So while it goes against every fiber of his being, the barbarian turns to leads the way down the unexplored passage that Suzume is indicating.

"Come," he says simply.

 

[mleibrock]

Janiven

Janiven follows Anundr as he heads across the muck and over to the NW hallway.

Janiven deftly jumps the sewage pit and can't help herself when she sees the hellknights down the eastern hallway and lets an arrow loose, solidly hitting hellknight 3.

Hellknight 3 will stand up on his turn and fire at Trevor but misses badly.

OOC: Matthew - I need a dex roll to jump the muck (target 8). Scotley, I am not sure if you want Suzume to cross over to where the rest of the party is, if so I need a dex check to jump the muck (target 8). Of if he will jump where the boards used to be (dex check) and take a shot at the hellknights before jumping the muck again (another dex check). We can tack this onto the last round either way.

[mleibrock]

Tiko is up

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Anundr's Dex Check, which he kinda sucks at.

 

[Scotley]

Suzume shows no inclination to attack the Hellknights and instead focuses on getting away. He leaps the muck and lands poorly almost falling backward into the muck, but a flap of his wings pushes him forward again and he continues to retreat.

 

[mleibrock]

Anundr

OOC: Anundr's Dex Check, which he kinda sucks at.

Wow, that roll is tempting to have fun with, but I'll be nice:
Anundr is at -4 for the next four rounds for any dex checks as both his feet landed in the muck and he is kinda covered and dripping muck at he moves - very slippery.

Tiko

Tiko mutters in frustration and follows Suzume.
