Niobe's Dilemma (Manzanita Judging)

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian

OOC: No, if it provokes AoO, the space behind Wil. Next round he'll move in the room and attack.

 

[Bront]

OOC: Technicaly, Wil is up next, my bad, but I have you ready to run up to the spot behind Wil, and I assume if Wil moves back, you want to go to where Wil is instead? It would only provoke 1 AoO.

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian

OOC: Well, if Wil goes before me, he should stay in front, otherwise he'll just have to move past Razh next round. On the other hand, Razh is unharmed and has HP to spare. I'll leave it up to Nim.

Razh scrambles up the stairs. From behind Wil he shouts, "Oi, front er back?"

 

[Bront]

OOC: Wil is staggered at 0 HP, which limits his options. I'd think he'd like to take a 5' step back if he can. Looks like Nimis is out for a bit. Anyone have a better action for Will? He can't Withdraw while staggered.

(OOC: Wil is staggered--retreating like that and letting Razh block his way is definitely a good plan)

Wil hears Razh barreling up the stairs. Thankfully, he stumbles backwards behind the protection of the short but mighty dwarf. Razh gladly takes the point for his companion, and as soon as he is in a position to see the room he uses his dwarven darkvision to assess the situation.

 

[Bront]

OOC: That works

Raz squeezes in front of Wil as he steps back, the lone opponent able to attack him while he moves misses.

Lasair leads the guards into the building.

... (more to come)

 

[Bront]

The man who can still reach Wil strikes at the cleric, but can't get a good angle.

One of the men by the door strikes at Raz, and misses.

Another man by the door strikes with both his weapons, barely missing Raz.

The two armed warriors attack Raz, but neither can connect..

Will moves further down the stairs, avoiding the strike of the only one who could try.

Raz...

*Lasair leads the guards up the stairs. It's time to bust this little crime party.*

OOC: Do I get bonus GM credits if I TPK AND kill NPCs?
