pneumatik's WotBS 1 - The Scouring of Gate Pass

Korrin creeps into the kitchen. He sticks to the wall immediately on his left when he enters, skirting the center of the room. Looking carefully about, he sees nothing beyond the obvious mess. The light from the open door provides most of the light in the room, much more than what spills in from the dining room doorway.

Staying close to the wall, Korrin approaches the dining room door. Pausing, he gestures for the others to enter. Torrent is first, followed by Hollister. Plavin remains outside.

Korrin peeks around the doorframe into dining room. The room is actually both a dining room and sitting room. There's a table with chairs closest to the kitchen door, then a sitting area with a couple of chairs and benches, and then the front of the house. The front window and door are both closed tight and barred. In the middle of side wall closest to the kitchen door is a fireplace with a roaring fire in it.

Sitting at head of the table is a hardened soldier in full plate eating a hunk of cheese. On the table are pieces of bread, cheese, root vegetables, smoked meats, and falchion in easy reach. Bunched in the back corner of the room opposite the kitchen door is a family - two girls, mom, and dad. No one seems to react to Korrin or the rest of the party.


OOC: It's getting a little complex, so he's a very crude map:
Code:
front
|--w---D--|
|         |
|sit area |
|         fp
| table   |
|*        |
-------D--|
P h t k   |
|         fp
|-D-------|
 p
back
D's are doors
fp's are fireplaces
P is the pantry
the * is where the family is cowering
the hardened soldier is sitting at the "t" in table.
h, t, k, and p are Hollister, Torrent, Korrin, and Plavin.

Hollister remains quiet as his companion looks through the door into the room beyond, waiting to see Korrin's reaction.

Korrin turns to the others, holds up 1 finger than spreads his arms wide, indicating big, then points to his weapon, hoping the others get the jist of it. He gives a questioning look to make sure everyone is ready.

Korrin nods, then calling upon his Shadow's Blessing, draws his blade and turns the corner, hoping to catch the enemy unawares and get between him and the family.

[sblock=OOC]
So I'd like to try and interpose myself between the man and the family.

Korrin draws his weapon and enters the dining room. He stays low and tries to use the table as cover to hide from the soldier. But with the soldier sitting at one end and Korrin crouching next to an adjacent side he's spotted almost immediately.

Between menacing the family and eating, the soldier's too distracted to react to Korrin before he can position himself between him and the family. The soldier reaches for his falchion as he starts to stand. The fight has begun!

OOC:
Korrin surprises the guard and uses his surprise round to move into position. Everyone except Korrin can take a surprise round action - moving or attacking or casting a spell only, since it's not a full round. Korrin already used his action to move.
Also, everyone needs to roll initiative. If you beat an 8 you go before the soldier, so post your surprise round action and your normal first-round action

Liiros Tivaniel, Iron Guard's Glare stance

Liiros follows the others slowly, sword drawn, knowing full well that his heavy armor clanks with every step and isn't the least bit stealthy. He glances at the corpses and mutters some quiet prayer for their gods, whoever they are, to look after the poor souls.

Then, finally, after the Korrin enters the house, gestures some kind of warning, and rushes in, Liiros rushes into the house himself, heading towards the next room where Korrin went. He calls out "Defend yourself, scoundrel!" as he goes.

[sblock=OOC]Move action, probably starting next to Plavin outside, to go 20 feet into the house towards the dining room. Using Iron Guard's Glare stance for now.

Initiative 12
1d20+1=12

HP 18 / 18
AC 19 (touch 11, flat-footed 18)
Ready Maneuvers: Crusader's Strike (2), Vanguard Strike (5), Charging Minotaur (1), Stone Bones (4), Leading the Attack (3) *numbered alphabetically
Granted Maneuvers: Crusader's Strike, Charging Minotaur, Stone Bones
5d5=9
Got a buncha 2s, needed a 3rd granted maneuver from my feat, so I rolled again:
5d5=15 [/sblock]

OOC: Liiros beat the soldier in initiative, so he should take his first-round action now. He's certainly close enough after his move action during the surprise round to close with the soldier and attack him.

Hollister moves into the doorway, and calmly assessing the situation, the wizard summons a burst of flame to burn the enemy warrior!

Burst of Flame: 2nd level fire spell ready: Fiery Burst has a 5' radius, range of 30', and causes 2d6 damage. Reflex save vrs DC 15 for 1/2 damage.

Korrin weaves his blade in an elaborate pattern and suddenly another falchion appears, glowing white. The white blade attacks from the right, while Korrin swings from the left. The cramped nature of the room left little area for Korrin to wield his blade.

[sblock=OOC]
Use Shadow Blade Technique
attack 1; attack 2; normal damage; cold damage if both hit (1d20+4=15, 1d20+4=16, 2d4+1=6, 1d6=1) I'll use the lower result so if AC 15 hits then the bad guy takes 7 damage *sigh*
