[QUOTE="Starman, post: 4252403, member: 7663"] Craig lobs the tools at Gunter. They land about an arm's length away. Seeing the contents of the supply wagon scattered over the ground, the halfling's armor isn't hard to spot and he quickly uncovers it and grabs it. The fiery giant roars. "[color=darkred]IZRADOR![/color]" It moves closer to the wagons and a goblin and a human slave fall beneath the flailing of its mighty claws. The orc who attacked Craig fumbles around looking for his weapon. He finally sees it and picks it up, looking around trying to gain a sense of what is going on. Taellis strains against severl parts of the wagon, but is unable to find a weak part. Gunter picks up the thieves tools and attempts to pick the lock on the cage, but is unsuccessful. The elfling easily finds his gear. One vial of ink is broken and one flask of oil has spilled however. The goblins scatter chaotically in several directions, crying out in fear of the "[color=darkred]fiery death from above[/color]." Haris connects to the ancient energies of Aryth to call forth vines from the ground. Three goblins closest to the slaves and the wagons become caught up in the plants, and despite his attempts to avoid it, two prisoners become caught in the growth, as well. Kryt strains against the bars again, now somewhat weakened by the violent upheaval of the entire cage. With a roar, he bends them enough that a larger creature could now squeeze through, though it will be a tight squeeze for his large girth. The other remaining orc takes a look at the towering inferno killing all in its path and runs down the road in the direction the caravan came from. [sblock=OOC] [list][*] Taellis Strength check - 4+1 = 5 [*] Gunter Open Lock check - 3+6 = 9 [*] Sangrin Search check - 11+10 = 21 [*] Kryt Strength check - 15+6 = 21 [/list] [/sblock] Craig, trying to keep the orc away from the prisoners, charges the beast who attacked him and slashes at it with his cutlass. The orc easily avoids the sword, however, and just becomes angrier. The fire creature stomps toward the wagons and the slaves. It kills two slave and one wagon ignites from the thing's touch. You all feel an intense heat radiating from the creature. Taellis squeezes through the opening made by the orc. He picks up a wheel spoke and attacks the orc fighting Craig. His swing is clumsy and the orc warrior dodges the blow handily. Gunter runs back to the scattered contents of the supply wagon and begins searching for his things. Sangrin, now in possession of most of his goods, runs over to the cage he was in to see if he can assist Kryt or the woman. The goblins that can continue to flee. Haris, not wanting to trap any more slaves with his magic, runs to the wagon in front of Kryt's to see what he can do to open it. He finds a rock and smashes at the lock but it doesn't budge. It takes Kryt nearly as much effort to get out of the wagon as it did to bend the bars, but he finally manages to squeeze out and roll onto the ground. [sblock=OOC] [list][*] Craig attack roll - 5+4 = 9 [*] Taellis attack roll - 6+2 = 8 [/list] [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
