PoPP: Souls For Smuggler's Shiv [01]

[mleibrock]

[sblock=OOC]It's creative, and I hate to be a nay-sayer but I don't think it's gonna work. Fighting Defensively is a standard action that incorporates an attack. Using Intimidate to demoralize an opponent is also a standard action, so it can't be combined with FD.

However, as a consolation I'll allow you to use the natural 20 as an attack roll rather than as the intimidate check if you wish. You'll just need to confirm the crit and roll regular damage - remember I use the Crit Deck rather than multiplying damage.[/sblock]

Grrr...Ok...changing post to reflect action.

OOC: Sorry, buddy.

Lerissa moves in and beats the savages' rusty scimitar aside with a ferocious swipe, then reverses her swing and slices his belly open. The barbarian gapes down stupidly as his entrails begin to spill out of his stomach; his efforts to push them back inside leave him wide open to attack.

GM: Crit Results: 6 points of damage, and savage is vulnerable to Attacks of Opportunity from Taron and Abraxis!

Taron reacts quickly and seizes the opportunity to bring a killing blow upon the remaining savage.

[sblock=OOC]

AoO Attack, Possible Crit -- 1d20+2=20
Crit Confirm -- 1d20+2=11
Damage, No Sneak Attack -- 2d6=8

* Ooops, I forgot Mowgli's crit rules. Either of the above 1d6 rolls should be enough to finish him though.

[Rhun]

Abraxis strikes in concert with Taron, driving the point of his glaive deep into the savage's body.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Geez, guys! Crits galore!

As Lerissa beats the barbarian's rusted scimitar aside, Taron and Abraxis strike in concert and it's almost as though the three of you have been working together for years rather than having just met the night before. Taron's rapier pierces the wretch's tongue on it's way into his brain, and Abraxis' great blade takes both legs off at the knees. Your ambusher turned victim hangs for a moment on the sword piercing his skull, then slides off the steel and slumps to the sand. The sound of the pounding surf washes over you as you contemplate the aftermath of the fight.

Lerissa

Confident this savage is dead, Lerissa puts away her steel and crouches to do a quick search of this body to see if there is anything of value on him

 

[Rhun]

Abraxis kneels to clean his blood-drenched blade in the sand of the beach, his eyes going to the treeline to ensure there are no more savages lurking in wait.

 

[IronWolf]

Taron stands on the beach as the others search, he casts a casual eye towards the treeline in case others are lying in wait. "There must be others on this island then. We best bury these bodies lest their friends find them later and think even more ill of us." Taron says.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Each of the bodies has a wooden shield and rusted scimitar (the scimitars have the "broken" condition). They have fairly intricate but crudely drawn tattoos that mean nothing to any of the three of you, and some wood, bone and shell jewelry that might bring a few silver if sold.

There are no signs of other savages lurking about.

OOC: Happy birthday, Rhun!

 

[IronWolf]

"You look hurt Lerissa. Do you need the blessings of Cayden Cailean? Taron says offhandedly as he examines his own wounds.

"Not sure we want to meet a band of savages today, but perhaps we could follow the tracks these two must have left." Taron adds.
