[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

[dpdx]

[Since I moved 15', I'll attack on my own initiative, and not ready an action to swing.]

Kerith stands ready behind Norynth and Gert, alongside Grimbard. As he waits for the centipedes(?) to come forward, he calls behind him:

"Oren? Anyone? Someone bring my lantern up to the doorway, and shine it toward the room!"

 

[Guilt Puppy]

Oren moves next to Michelle, lantern in one hand, quickly drawing a dagger with his primary hand -- a little dramatically, just for show.

"If ever our glorious tales be retold, let none forget that it was I, Oren L'Zar, who heroically bore the lantern which shed light upon our victory against the nefarious scuttling things!" He holds the lantern high in the air, to emphasize his point -- and to improve visibility for the folks on the front line.

 

[dpdx]

Kerith chuckles at Oren's gallows humor, and it relaxes him for the upcoming battle with the bugs.

"Don't worry, my courageous friend, we certainly shall! So tell me, does rear echelon contain one n or two?"

 

[Uriel]

Norynth moves cautiously forward again, ready to shoot any Centipedes that show themselves, as well as wondering at the tiny little voice inside that said to him 'Pity Gert can't talk, you could ask her where they were.
Norynth will pay particular attention to Gert's body language regarding anything near at hand, since they had hunted many times together prior to this.

 

[Jemal]

michelle siles at the little joke and moves forward to keep with the advancing party, her lantern held high as well. "And lets not forget the beautiful lady who assists you in your light-giving task." she spoke softly, still ready with her spell.

Round 3!

Kerith: You ask somebody to bring up your lantern.

Oren: After your dramatic round of Full Defense, you somehow muster the courage to pick up the lantern and move to where you might actually get to glimpse some foes sometime during this battle.

Norynth: You take a cautious step forward. Pity you didn't teach Gert to Point. I assume you ready an action to attack if something rears it's ugly head within reach.

Foran: (autopilot) You step forward again and ready your xbow.

Michelle: As you move forward, some Centipedes(!) come into view! You see several of the same size you fought before, and one that is larger, perhaps as large as you are tall. They seem to have been shrinking back from the light, but are edging forward now that Norynth is in the room. You cast your MM on the larger one, dealing minor damage.

Norynth: Your readied action goes off, and you fire your crossbow at C1 (the large one), pegging it solidly for considerable damage. Your initiative has been changed to 7.

Gertrude: Moves up and readies an action to attack any 'pede that attacks Norynth.

Centipedes: scuttle in to attack those in the room. More become visible, totaling 6 small and 2 medium-sized ones.
c1: attacks Gert, but misses hopelessly
c2: attacks Norynth, but fails to even touch his armor.
c3: attacks Gert, managing to hit her for minor damage. Gert seems unaffected by the poison.
c4: attacks Norynth, missing.
c5: can't get in on the action yet.
c6: ditto.
C1: (badly injured) attacks Norynth, biting him for minor damage. Norynth feels a bit of his strength fading from his leg where he was bitten, but it's not too bad.
C2: can't reach a foe.

Gertrude: (readied action going off) as C1 attacks, Gert attacks it and misses. Her initiative has been changed to 6.

Titus: Guards, just in case you are attacked from behind.

Grimbard: (autopilot) moves up and attacks c2, but misses.

map for end of Round 3:

 

[dpdx]

Kerith changes weapons to crossbow, as the field is a little too crowded to get a clear swing with the rapier. If there's time left in the round, he will actually load a bolt into it and fire on his next turn.

 

[MerakSpielman]

OOC: I'm out of town until Sunday evening. If you haven't posted by then, you're doing default actions.

 

[Uriel]

Norynth swings his Sword down in a single-handed attack at the Centipede, whie he yells 'Titus, attack!' pointing at whichever centipede is closest.

 

[Jemal]

Michelle pulls out a dagger and throws it at a wounded Centipede, holding the lantern up.
