Niobe's Dilemma (Manzanita Judging)

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: How many did he drop? Lasair is going to come out of her delay for a Suggestion when there's only one left)

 

[Bront]

OOC: he droped #4, I'm just not sure if he wants to step into where #4 was, as that seems rather unbarbarian like, nor what he was realy trying to do.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: It looks like he probably meant to go in the opposite direction, towards Ogrin and still threatening both 3 and 1, while opening space for more guards)

 

[Bront]

OOC: that's what I would have thought too. I'm just making sure.

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

OOC: No, I wasn't aware. I adjusted my post, 5' step north.

 

[Bront]

OOC: Cool, that makes more sense. You probably missed much earlier where #4 took the place of #1 when #1 was badly injured.

#1 thrusts at Raz, striking him hard with his rapier.

Lasair waits

The guard behind Raz steps into Raz's spot and swings at #3, striking himhard.

The Captain steps forward and attacks #3, but misses him

The guard behind the captain steps up and attacks #3, but misses.

The last guard gets ready behind the others.

#2 misses a guard with a poor thrust of his blade

Ogrin continues to bleed.

#3 swings at Raz, striking him with a glancing blow.

Raz...

OOC: FYI, don't expect much from me the next few days, as I have some vacation, and will be busy hopefully celebrating a Chicago Bears Superbowl victory!

(OOC: Didn't Raz already drop #4? Does that mean the guard dropped a third enemy?)

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian (HP: 12/59, AC: 17)

Razh barely feels the rapier slide deep into his body, in and out. He just feels the anger explode inside of him, and he focuses it on the men who may have killed his friend, especially the man who's sword just injured a very dangerous dwarf. "Nah ye've gone an' done it!" Rasereit roars as his waraxe comes down on the hapless man. It busts (1d20+9=18, 1d10+6=13) through his armor and his defensive parry easily. The man, already wounded, falls to the ground unconscious and possibly dead. Razh angrily shouts, "Leave me alone, bloody 'ell!" His handaxe lashes out at the other man who hurt him, giving him a nasty cut (1d20+8=16, 1d6+2=7). Razh moves away from the combat, directly in front of Ogrin.

OOC: Rage round 5/8. Waraxe attack on #1, Handaxe on #3. 5' move NE.

Bront: How did #2 attack me, by the way?

 

[Bront]

OOC: Fixed both errors (I fixed one a lot earlier). No biggie

Lasair continues to wait

The guard nicks #3 as he steps around to flank him

The Captain holds his position and swings at #2, striking him hard and almost knocking the man backwards.

The guard follows his comrade, attacking #3

The guard follows his comrade, attacking #3

#2 strikes the captain weakly

Ogrin stabilizes

#3 steps back and swings at Raz, striking him hard and knocking the barbarian down.

Raz bleeds

Wil runs back up behind Lasair and steps just past her, looking in much better shape than he was earier.

The guard misses #3 as he steps around him.

The captain strikes down #2.

Lasair? I think you wanted to act now...

*Lasair reaches out mentally, the final man's ziivash hers to manipulate:*

"We have you outnumbered four to one--if you wish to live, take this pen to paper and write down every last detail you know of this dirty business in which you are involved--names, plans, full descriptions, places, meetings, and who knows more for each piece of information you don't know."

(OOC: DC 15 (or more--the Suggestion spell gives a penalty to the save for a reasonable request, and seeing as he is likely to die soon otherwise, I'd say it's reasonable), and ready to do it again if he makes the save. He should be writing for 3 hours,)
