pneumatik's WotBS 2 - The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar

[Arkhandus]

Liiros Tivaniel

Though slow to react, Liiros manages to marshal his wits in time to instinctively charge forward with head lowered and slam into the boar with his shield, attempting to halt the flaming monster's own charge and disorient it with the impact. However, his elven muscles aren't as powerful as those of such a large boar, and Liiros' charge isn't very forceful......

All he says is "To arms!"
[sblock=ooc]Rolled a 1, 3, and 2 for my granted maneuvers, so Charging Minotaur, Mountain Hammer, and Crusader's Strike.....
8d5=22

Liiros charges the dire boar that's charging him, initiating his Charging Minotaur maneuver and switching stances to Martial Spirit as a swift action beforehand, expecting that he'll get burnt.
1d20+2+2=14, 2d6+2=8
Got a mediocre 14 on my Strength check for the charging bull rush. If that somehow succeeds against the boar's check, then the boar suffers 8 damage and is pushed back 5 feet. If it did succeed, then Liiros will heal 2 HP from whatever fire damage he's likely to suffer in the process. :-/

[pneumatik]

Liiros barrels into the massive boar charging him. The surprised beast stumbles and is driven back. The flames of the burning clearing make Liiros' skin blister.

[sblock=OOC]Liiros takes no damage from hitting the burning boar, but he does take one point of fire damage from the clearing.
The boar takes all 8 points of damage.[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

Shaylir holds her dagger at the ready and calls out. "Oh please, please Timbre! We have it is what Gwenvere said you would want! Please come and see!" she says holding the blonde hair as high as she can.

Fritz watches the wild fiery boars and looks for a way to protect his young mistress.

[sblock=Actions] Shaylir - delay (for two rounds this one and the next - if Timbre doesn't show she will help in the fight) Fritz - aid another to increase Shaylir's AC by +2 if needed. [/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Hollister chants the words to a spell, and sends pulses of blue-white light streaking through the air at the boar Liiros has engaged.


OOC: Magic Missile, 2d4+2 damage

 

[pneumatik]

Liiros seizes the initiative, slamming into the burning boar charging him. He pushes it back, hurting it and creating space for the party. Then Hollister shoots bolts of magical energy at the boar, further hurting it.

Shaylir stands as tall as she can and holds up the length of Anyariel's hair. She calls out to Timbre.

Timbre looks up from where she's kneeling at the base of her tree. She looks towards the party, like she's searching for something.

The boars attack! The one Liiros pushed attacks him with its tusks, but it's too off-balance to connect. The second one reaches Arshen gores him brutally for 13 points of damage.

Now everyone goes.

[sblock=ooc]Liiros and his boar are away from the party, so you'll need a move action to engage them. Note that anyone advancing will also start taking damage from the burning clearning.

Shaylir, if you want to get Timbre's attention make a diplomacy or some other roll that you think would reflect your actions.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Hollister backs off a bit, keeping Liiros and Arshen between himself and the boars. He chants the words to a simple cantrip, hoping it to be more effective against these fire beasts, and an ice blue beam of energy lances from the mage's hand.


AC16 (mage armor, 4 hour duration), HP21/21

Cast Ray of Frost at most injured "fire boar." Touch attack roll of "11", frost damage "2" (1d3...had to roll the d6) (but I think it deals double damage against fire-attuned critters).

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

 

[Thanee]

Lytha

Lytha concentrates to create a ray of freezing energy and hurls it at the flaming boar that is attacking Arshen, moving as necessary to have an easier target (and to stay away from its deadly tusks).

 

[HolyMan]

"The hair we have it and Gwenvere said... omphf!" Shaylir starts to speak but all the moving bodies and reckless charging bump the little halfling as she isn't paying attention.

 

[Arkhandus]

Liiros Tivaniel

Liiros smirks when the boar proves too unsteady to do anything more than stumble at him, but then he sets his jaw and gets to work on trying to slay the beast before it has the chance to slay him. The elven warrior sets his feet in a stable position and raises his longsword high while the flaming boar recovers from its own clumsy attack. Then he brings down the hammer, so to speak, with all the force he can draw from the earth beneath him. It's not much at the moment, to Liiros' annoyance. Still, the strike was strong and direct; it should leave a deep gouge.

As Liiros attacks, he calls out "Arshen, form up on me! We'll take these beasts down back-to-back!" The elf sidesteps and takes a few steps back, eyes on the boar in front of him, expecting it to strike back in rage after the two solid blows he's already dealt it. He also calls out "Timbre! Some greeting for those who do you a favor!"

[sblock=Pneumatik and Arshen]Next granted maneuver is #4, Shield Block.
1d5=4, 1d5=3, 1d5=4, 1d5=3, 1d5=4

Liiros initiates his Mountain Hammer strike against the boar he's fighting. Got a 21 to-hit for 11 damage, ignoring any damage reduction. Using the Martial Spirit stance to heal Arshen for 2 HP if this hits successfully.
1d20+7=21, 1d8+2+2d6=11

Then Liiros takes a 5-foot step in the direction of Arshen. Can't heal him with a Crusader's Strike unless I'm within 10 feet, so all I can do for him from here is use Martial Spirit with its 30-foot range. Can't use Shield Block or Iron Guard's Glare to help him, either, without being more or less adjacent to him.

Naturally, I'll delay any damage to myself that I can with Steely Resolve, to make use of Furious Counterstrike later. This round I just wanted to stay at full HP and lend Arshen a bit of healing.

[pneumatik]

Hollister zaps the boar fighting Liiros with a bolt of cold energy, freezing its shoulder. It roars in pain.

Lytha does the same to the other boar, and it roars, too.

Shaylir shouts and waves in an attempt to get Timbre's attention, but dangers of the combat are too distracting.

Liiros hacks into the boar he charged, carving out a chunk of meat. He steps over to Arshen to help protect him. He shouts at Timbre, and she responds by looking directly at him. "A favor? What can you do for me? For this?" She spreads her arms wide. The flames on her tree and her flare up. "Stop!" The boars stop fighting and each take a couple steps back. "You have my attention, mortals. Grant me an interesting diversion before the flames take you."
