Phaeton's Falcons

[Craw Hammerfist]

As Ickle slips into the spaces between crates, his movement catches the eye of the 4th man sitting at the table. He looks up just in time to see Vyleya's Halberd emerge through the spine of his compatriot. The blow is so violent, the man is lifted completely off his feet. Vyleya's blade snaps back in a perfect withdraw and the man is still airborne, blood only beginning to well from the sudden rent through his entire torso. He hits the ground with a dull splat, issuing no scream, as his diapham is no longer connected to his lungs. His shocked and blinking eyes are a few seconds slow to recognize what the rest of his body has already discovered; he is dead.

The man at the end of the table reacts swiftly, shouting "ATTACK!" as he pushes away from the table, knocking over the bench on which he was seated. He whirls behind him and retrieves a round shield from the ground in a fluid motion. He straightens and reaches for the sword at his belt as his fellows are still turning to see what is happening.

OOC: Surprise round. Vyleya took her readied action and DESTROYED the would-be pisser. Bandit 4 was not surprised and used a move action to don his shield. Roland, Deric, Gurv, Ickle and Livingston have one standard action and then the first round begins in this order:

Bandit 4
Vyleya
Roland
Bandit 3
Deric
Gurv
Bandit 2
Ickle
Livingston

You need not wait to post until your turn, but be aware that the situation may change.

Roland struggles to keep his dinner down as the bandit's life is violently ended. He moves forward, between Vyleya and the crates on his right, and situates himself just in front and to the right of Vyleya, his mace and shield at the ready.

[sblock=OOC]Roland uses his action to move to 2J on the map.[/sblock]

Livingston looks at the carnage with a face of awe. He has seen death before...many times, but never so violently. He patiently steps forward and kneels at the dead man's corpse.

"May Kelemvor take your soul," he whispers as he gently kisses the man's forehead.

When appropriate, he will have the words of a spell on his lips, his fingers waiting to finish the motions that would complete it to fruition.

[sblock]Livingston will delay until there is only one enemy left before moving into his 30ft range to cast Cause Fear. Will Save of 13[/sblock]

Vyleya Argnon, Human Fighter 2 - 22/22 HP

A single motion and a life is snuffed, with no more effort than splitting a log. Vyleya's gaze lingers on the crumpled man, observing his quick, surprising death. She registers his shock at the terrific carnage she issued upon his abdomen, and his uncertain blinking as he comes to grip with the end of his life. She swallows and the form of her back swing is arrested ungracefully, a brief moment of vulnerability.

She forces her eyes up, one of the men has sounded the alarm. She forces her attention on his actions, he has grabbed his shield, is reaching for his sword. He is going to attack. She sees Gurv run by her, and Deric around her, moving to attack the remaining bandits.

She twists her halberd around in front of her and looks at the unsurprised bandit. If he moves up to attack Deric, she will move to attack him. If he attacks Gurv instead, she will move to attack one of the still surprised bandits if she can do so while avoiding an attack of opportunity, otherwise she will still attack the unsurprised bandit. In any eventually, she will strike low with her halberd, attempting to trip whichever opponent she faces.

OOC:
Trip Attempt (Touch Attack): (1d20+7=12)
Trip Attempt (Opposed Check): (1d20+6=18)
Attack (On a successful trip): (1d20+11=23)
Damage: (1d10+3=6)

If she fails the opposed check to trip, her roll to avoid a counter-trip:
Opposed Trip: (1d20+6=7)

Ickle

Seeing that this is obviously not going to end peacefully, Ickle looks for an opportunity to fire his crossbow at someone not yet in melee. He will climb atop one of the crates to get higher ground, and fire at one of the enemy. (He will hold his action till he has a clear shot, even if it means refocusing at the beginning of the next round)

918199 Icklebad 1 1d20+6 [16,6] = (22) Crossbow with point blank shot. 2007-03-13 22:04:29

918202 Icklebad 1 1d6+1 [2,1] = (3) Crossbow with point blank shot. 2007-03-13 22:05:27

"COVER ME!", Deric shouts, as he moves past the front line personnel, on his way to get in position behind a large sack. In the back of his mind, he hopes that this is the right thing to do.

[sblock=OOC] Deric moves to I3 behind the sack during his surprise round. He is hoping to set up a Color Spray to hopefully take one of the bandits alive [/sblock]

 

[Lot]

Gurv will press the attack, taking advantage of their surprise and Vyleya's horrific slaying to maintain the momentum of the fight. He steps forward slashing and stabbing with his swords at the closest enemy.

[sblock=OOC]
Attack (longsword): 4 (roll) + 3 (mod) = 7
Attack (shortsword): 7 (roll) + 2 (mod) = 9
Damage (longsword): 8
Damage (shortsword): 8[/sblock]

After the surprise round, the map looks like this:

 

[s@squ@tch]

[sblock=OOC] Since Bandit #4 and #3 act before Deric, I am going to assume that they will move in towards Gurv. If that is the case, then Deric will move to be about 6 feet away from them and cast Color Spray, aiming the cone to not hit Gurv, but to hit as many of the bandits as possible.

Color Spray - 15 ft Cone-shaped burst DC14 (Will) - Each creature within the cone is affected according to its Hit Dice.

2 HD or less
The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)

3 or 4 HD
The creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.

5 or more HD
The creature is stunned for 1 round. [/sblock]
