pneumatik's WotBS 1 - The Scouring of Gate Pass

Hollister holds his hand ready, flames flickering along his fingers, just in case the men were unfriendly and needed to feel some warmth this cold winter day.

One of the men hiding up the cliff takes out a horn and blows. The note echoes down the road. Everyone roll initiative.


OOC: Enemies rolled a 13 on initative. Everyone who rolls higher than 13 on init should also post their first round action.

Attached is a map. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Korrin shrugs as he looks to the others, "Well, I guess they know who we are. Pepper them with arrows or fire until they're upon us" he says, drawing his newfound blade and preparing for his foes.

[sblock=ooc]
init (1d20 2=21)

Minor: Draw Blade
Move: East two squares
Standard: Ready an attack - vs ac; dmg (1d20 7=9, 2d4 3=9) nope. (incl +1 from sword, assuming its magic)
[/sblock]
 

When Korrin draws his new falchion he feels a warm breeze that's energizing in the mountain cold. As he readies to attack the blade starts to give off heat and glow with a dull red color.
 

Liiros Tivaniel, slow as ever

Liiros mutters "Guess we know they aren't friendly, then. And that they've got backup. Why do we just have the worst luck ever?" He gives a weary sigh. Louder, he says "ATTACK!" However, the elf is slow to draw his weapons.....

[sblock=ooc]Well, InvisibleCastle shuuuuuure loves Liiros. :mad: Yep. Feel like I haven't ever gotten a good roll for him.....

Initiative: 2
1d20+1=2

IMPORTANT QUESTION: What's our general condition here? Fatigued? Exhausted? Kinda affects our actions and rolls.[/sblock]
 

Lytha

Lytha moves ahead and to the side to seak protection between the bushes that grow there, all the while concentrating, but it is not obvious what the telepath is concentrating on.


OOC: 13? Ha! Easily beaten... Initiative 14

Move: 30 ft. SE, E, E, E, SE (between the bushes)
Standard: Vigor (3 PP, no display)

Q: Since the two up there are at the edge of the cliffs, would it be possible to grant them a rough trip down to us by materializing Grease underneath their position? Could be worth a try next round (this round they are out of range still).

status update

OOC: Right now now one is so tired as to have mechanical penalties. You think that if you start fighting you might quickly get fatigued or exhausted, though, depending on your physical fortitude.

Lytha, if you put the grease under the men and they fail their save it looks to you like they'd start sliding down the cliff. They might be able to catch themselves in the last few feet to keep from hitting the ground because the grease is only 10' x 10'.

Finally, I made another printout of the map, this time with the spreadsheet row and column numbers visible. It's attached.

Hollister chants the words to bring a protective field of force into play around his body even as he moves nearer the brigands.


AC16, Hit Points 16/16

Initiative: 14
Cast Mage Armor, move N15

[sblock=Spells Prepared]
- Level 0: Detect Magic x2, Light x2 + (d) Flare
- Level 1: Mage Armor x2, Magic Missile + (d) Burning Hands
- Level 2: Web, Resist Energy, Flaming Sphere + (d) Scorching Ray[/sblock]
 

Rae was somewhat taken aback by the situation, having not anticipated a battle at all, being somewhat not a fighter. Once he recovered, he'd look for a place to slip out of sight, so as to get into a proper position to attack with maximum efficiency.

[sblock=Initiative]
1d20+3=10[/sblock]
 

Korrin advances and readies to strike anyone who comes within reach.

Lytha advances and edges towards the side of the road. She finds the bushes difficult to move through, holding her back.

Hollister wards himself and advances.

A man{T1} hustles out from the around the bend up ahead. He's armored and armed with a crossbow. Seeing Korrin ready to strike, he shoots at him. The quarrel strikes him for five damage.

A man on horseback {R1} comes out into the road from a small path up ahead The rider wears black studded leather, and a black helmet decorated with a silver horse’s head. A cap billows behind him as he rides, and all you can see of his skin is his toothy smile. Seeing Liiros, he takes aim with a longbow and fires twice. One arrow hits for eight damage

Two more men{C1, C2} on horseback follow the first man out. Both have saps out. They ride past the first man up to Korrin and swing their saps at him. One whiffs but the other catches him right on the back of the head for 14 points of subdual damage. Korrins swings in return, but misses.

The two scouts scoot around the corner of the cliff and drop down to the path where the horsemen were waiting.

Finally, Torrent asks Osprem to bless the party to help with the fight at hand.


Now everyone goes again.

OOC: Everyone has a +1 morale bonus to hit, as per being blessed

New map attached.
