Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard (Vol 2)

[Jemal]

"We have no quarrel with you, I thank you for your attempts to help us - at least, I hope that was your purpose in coming here - but we no longer need it. Please, lower your weapons, there's no need to fight." William steps between one of the bee-men and its intended 'target'.

[sblock=ooc] Full Defensive Action.
AC 21, HP 2/10

OOC: This sounds like a job for...a Diplomacy check! Can I get a Diplomacy check for William, please? We'll move to the next initiative count after that.

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

OOC: I'd still like a Diplomacy check from William, but I'm going to move things forward as well.

OOC: Next action - Norali

Norali approaches the edge of Johen's entangle effect and looks the possessed Corath in the eye, "You said you need a body and now you just said you'd let Corath go. So who's body are you going to take next?"

OOC: Orcs are all dead, so next action - Aleera

Aleera gives Valen a grim, satisfied smile as she wipes the orc blood off of her weapons. She is about to put them away when she notices the bee-things and hears William's words to them. She brings her weapons up and ready again, just in case.

OOC: Next action - Aohdan

[sblock=Diplomacy]
Diplomacy (1d20+6=7)
Nat 1, of course. Apparently William sneezes in the bees face in the middle of his speech.

OOC: In Bee language you said "This is a schtick-up, gimme all your honey!"

Aohdan shied away from the edge of the entanglement area, eying it suspiciously. He then readied his longbow, an arrow knocked should the thing-that-is-not-Corath attack again.

OOC: Next action - Bee people

The two bee things advance, one approaching Valen, the other approaching Aleera.

The one approaching Aleera finds William in its way and stops for a moment with its head cocked to the side. Whether William's words had any effect on it or not is difficult to surmise, but it says nothing as it attempts to maneuver around the paladin to get to Aleera.

Meanwhile, the one approaching Valen comes right up to the ranger and moves in, apparently attempting to grab him.

OOC: Valen can make an attack of opportunity, if you wish, as the bee thing attempts to start a grapple.

OOC: Next action - Alaric

 

[Helfdan]

[sblock=OOC]

Valen, remembering the bee-dude's words, will not attack right now... but he keeps a good grip on his sword.

If it succeeds on its touch attack (vs AC 15) , here's my defending grapple check: Grapple check d20+5=8 blehh!!

[/sblock]

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

Touch attack to grab Valen; Grapple check to hold him (1d20+7=24, 1d20+7=23)

Valen is easily grabbed by the humanoid bee thing and Valen realizes that it intends to go skyward with the Tureni ranger in tow.

 

[Arkhandus]

Alaric speaks another short Elven phrase, "Caesphiran moas, sariith" and makes sure his crossbow is loaded, but leaves it pointed at the ground, looking at Corath and pleading with her, "Corath! Free yourself! Don't give up control!" He really doesn't want to have to try damaging the construct, and isn't even sure if it's possible to stop her without destroying her.

(ooc: casting Magic Weapon on the crossbow, and loading a bolt if not already loaded)
