pneumatik's WotBS 1 - The Scouring of Gate Pass

[Arkhandus]

[sblock=ooc]Damnit! That messes up my whole action. I don't know why they were even marked on the map if they've already become a non-threat. I thought it must've been someone else Torrent cut down, but I guess not.

Can Liiros move to J-7 or whatever space it is between Hollister, Plavin, and M-1? He has a speed of 20 feet in his armor, but he takes a hefty penalty to Jump checks in it, and the bar's sort of in the way AFAIK. Rolled a total of 0 for Jump, even.
1d20-5=0

If it costs him too much movement to get there, he won't be able to make his (albeit failed) attack this round.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC: to Liiros]I should not have left M1 on the map. When I ran through NPC actions I did M1-4 first and then Torrent. I moved M1-4 on my copy of the map when I did their actions. Torrent didn't move, so I didn't think to update the map.
Let's do this: Liiros made it to J6 by hopping over the bar, but it took a double move. You missed your attack anyway, so you're not missing out on dealing any damage. Keep the maneuver you expended, too. Edit your post to reflect what happened, if you can (rather than posting a new one).[/sblock]

"Well done, Torrent," says Hollister, moving toward the side door. The mist of flaming oil in the air burned the mage's skin, despite his affinity for fire and heat. The wizard sneers and throws out a hand toward the enemy and summons more fire, taking care not to blast any of his companions.

Fire explodes from the middle of the bar, catching one thug in its radius. He tries to to duck behind the bar for protection, but he's too slow. He's scorched, but still alive.

Caught by surprise by the appearance of fire, Korrin is unable to avoid the deadly projectile. Cursins the minor wounds, the human rushes out of his hiding place and moves towards the bar, intent on cutting down the enemy.

He swings the massive blade with quickness and precision as it draws some of the shadows dancing along the walls in the flames and as the blade strikes true, the shadows cling to his foes eyes.

Plavin attacks

Plavin levels his cross bow at enemy M2, and presses the trigger. As soon as the bolt is in flight he is loading another one.

"We need to get out of here!"

Korrin swings the massive blade with quickness and precision as it draws some of the shadows dancing along the walls in the flames and as the blade strikes true, the shadows cling to his foes eyes.

Korrin's slash separates the thug's head from his head. Shadows swirl around the head as it tumbles to the ground. The body follows a moment later.

Plavin levels his cross bow at enemy M2, and presses the trigger. As soon as the bolt is in flight he is loading another one.

Plavin's shot goes wide, but his target drops anyway thanks to Torrent's battleaxe. While Plavin concentrates on his shot, the thug in his face takes a swing at him with his sap. The sap *chunks* against an unseen field and the thug curses.

Rashelle Flings wide her cloak, drawing her sword and shield fluidly and swiping at the Orc above her. "I've two Orcs over here! We must take care of them before we leave." She calls to the others, ears still ringing somewhat from the explosion.

Rashelle's battleaxe** bites down into the half-orc's {M4} ribs. His studded leather armor blunts the blow, but the battleaxe still breaks bone and forces leather and metal into flesh. A dark red stain in the leather spreads from the point of impact. The half-orc staggers, but stays on his feat.

In response, the half-orc {M4} draws his morningstar and takes a mighty swing at Rashelle.[sblock=attack]21 to hit Rashelle for 10 damage[/sblock]The half-orc at the top of the stairs {M3} ducks around behind the wall (OOC: B18->B17 where you can't see him anymore. He's on the map where Rashelle last saw him going).

Torrent looks over at Rashelle, then at the debris covering the floor. Taking a deep breath, she runs to her. Unable to completely avoid the burning debris, she arrives there badly burned.

OOC: That's the end of NPC actions in round 4. Now everyone goes again.

** In the Rogue's Gallery, Rashelle has a MW battleaxe, so that's what I went with.

Plavin

Do we finish the ones that are upstairs or do we run for it? We should not leave behind witnesses do they can tell any others where we went, but we don't want to stay around for reinforcements either.

Plavin stays alert for any intruders.

Liiros says "Leave the stairs and let me rush them! I'm better armored and I can tend your injury in the process! Trust me!" The elven squire says to the others, "We'll leave once we deal with those upstairs who wish us harm. You can start evacuating now if you wish."
[sblock=OOC]Delaying until just after Rashelle's action. Then I will move into the space she occupied (assuming she moves as Liiros directs) to face her opponent. Then I will change stances to Martial Spirit after moving.

If she doesn't move out of the way, Liiros will just move to space G-5 and take total defense to wait for her to move or something. I will not change stances yet if that is the case.

At the end of my turn, I am granted my fifth maneuver, not that I'm getting the chance to use any yet.[/sblock]
