Planetouched Peril

[Rhia]

Azure, Radiance Genasi Bard 1

*Another arrow hits Azure in the back. It hits so hard, she can't even let out a scream of pain. Slumping in her saddle, she takes note of the three archers in the trees, then frantically looks for a spot amongst the trees she can get out of their line of site. Finding it, she urges Cherry Blossom quickly forward, stopping as soon as she sees a trunk blocking her. Grimaces of pain and tears of anguish contort her face as she calms her breath. Forcing her arm to reach into her bag, she fumbles about for a familiar feeling vial. She draws it forth, uncorks it with her teeth, and pours it down her throat. Disgarding the vial to the forest floor, she pauses as the healing magic begins to take hold.*

[ooc: If she can't move, withdraw the vial, and drink it in one move, she'll just have to drink it next round, if she still lives. Potion of CLW 1d8+1 She's currently at 3/14 hp)

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

As Ashlie is now hidden from her enemy, she begins calculating her actions. Shilo, watching her moves with great concern, waits for her next action. He doesn't have to wait for long, as he sees her peer through her brush that is hiding her whereabouts, and try to aim at the next available bandit, either on the ground or the last one in the tree on her side. She will try not to move yet, as her position is well guarded for the moment.She lets loose another arrow, aimed at the bandit, and once she does, she knows he will be aware of her location. She follows this with a "Your turn Shilo! Get 'em" in Halfling. She orders Shilo to attack the bandit, hopefully on the ground if he was in the tree and tries to go back into hiding.(Hide +12)


Attack Bonus +7, Dmg 1D6+2

OOC - Can we hear what they are saying and who seems to be giving the orders?

 

[Ghostknight]

ooc Umm, just where am I located in all this chaos- I don't know where I am situated relative to the others and thus have no idea what actions are available (am I behind the bandits, the characters or somewhere in between?)

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Heliad is on the road, and he will be coming up to the battle from the direction of the town next round. So he will have an equal opportunity to go after bandits on either side of the road once he gets there.*

 

[Ghostknight]

*Heliad is on the road, and he will be coming up to the battle from the direction of the town next round. So he will have an equal opportunity to go after bandits on either side of the road once he gets there.*

*Heliad continues running for the valley. From the sounds of it, there is a battle in progress, people will be needing help.....

 

[Verbatim]

*Watching in terror as another arrow slams into Azure's body, Jabin dropped his crossbow and tried to reach her as quickly as he could.*

"Hold on Azure, help is on the way..."

*As the arrows fly by him as he moves, Jabin reaches into his pouch and pulls a healing draught out, preparing to hope down from the mule and give it to Azure.*

Please let me be in time...

 

[Cannibal_Kender]

*Zaphira will continue to snipe at the bandits from cover, specifically targeting those who are firing on pilgrims, if there are any left.*

 

[Jolmo]

*Kani surveys the battle, taking in what's going on*

ooc: If we get involved in the battle, through actions of Fianna, a bandit or an animal, Kani will throw his MW shortspear at any enemy within reasonable range and draw his MW spear. (Or just attack in melee with the MW shortspear if they are too close.)

If we do not, Kani will delay his action until just after Fianna's next one.

Rockhoof will act as by the 'defend me' command.

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Taking in the scene before her Fianna is bombarded with so much action. She doesn't hear Kani approach, or feel Dorenna at her side. *

What happened here? Oh my... that Horse!

[ooc: If a clear shot is available Fianna will pull out her sling and shoot for the bandit in the tree shooting at Viper. She will continue to stay hidden unless someone comes upon her and Kani. Dorenna will range out and keep Amarine out of bandits sights.]

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Zaphira targets one of the bandits on the ground, sighting carefully over her thumb and releasing. The arrow strikes hard into the man's thigh wounding him. The bandits have mostly been fairly quiet during this battle aside from shouts of pain, but this man howls loudly, startling everyone.*

*Azure signals Cherry Blossom down the road and behind the cover of trees, pulling out one of the crystal bottles of Pelor's healing elixir as she does. Hurridly she drinks it down, and her battered body begins to pull itself together, though it still hurts like demonfire.*

*Heliad rounds the bend in the road and can now see the battle. A group of travelers, religious pilgrims by the looks of it, have been set upon by bandits. Their guards are making a good accounting for themselves, but you can see some have been wounded.*

*Viper gives another tremendous squeal and lashes his hooves at the man below him, using his strong teeth to rip at his flesh. The man is quickly pounded into pulp with little time to scream. Fianna whirls her sling and lets it fly, but it goes over the head of the treed archer.*

*Jabin and Honeybee gallop over to Azure and practically force another healing potion into her hands. Azure drinks and relaxes as her pain starts to ebb into pleasent warmth. The three grounded bandits on Zaphira's side of the road have clearly had enough, and you all hear calls to retreat. The one remaining in the tree tries to put another arrow in Zaphira, but fails miserably. The treed bandits on the other side of the road also call for a retreat and start scrambling through the canopy.*

*The pilgrams begin tending their own wounded as they see the bandits retreat. However, Kani can see that the bandits are coming his way and will practically go on top of him When one catches sight of him, Kani throws his shortspear, but it goes just to the left of the man's head, and he gives a gasp of shock.*

*Ashlie sights the remaining wounded bandit in the tree and fires, this one striking just above his heart. The man gives a strangled gasp that ends in a gout of blood as he falls. With the command given to Shilo, the dog runs after the escaping bandits. Targeting the slower wounded one, Shilo leaps on him and grabs him by the throat, crushing it.*

[OOC - Zaphira hits one bandit with a 20 for 5 points of damage, wounding him. Azure pulls out her potion while moving to cover and drinks, regaining 8 hit points. Heliad arrives and is 30 ft. away from the battle. Viper hits a 14, 20, and 28 for a total of 24 points of damage, pulverizing the wounded bandit that he injured last time. Fianna hits a 12 and misses with her sling. Jabin moves over to cover with Azure and feeds her a potion for 6 points of healing. The three uninjured bandits on the ground on Zaphira's side of the road run away. The wounded guy tries to hit Zaphira and fails. The three unwounded bandits in the tree on the other side of the road start trying to escape through the canopy. The pilgrams tend their wounded. Kani sees the bandits coming closer, throws and misses with his shortspear on a 10. Ashlie hits the treed wounded bandit with a 20 for 8 points of damage, dropping him. Shilo runs after the retreating bandits, hits one with a 17 for 11 points of damage, dropping him.]
