Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Rolzup]

Darrick grabs his fallen foe, and drags him unceremoniously off to one side. "Have to remember to bring manacles next time," he comments, as he retrieves his shield and helmet, "Just in case."

He pauses for a second, giving the entrance a look. "I can think of worse places to make a stand," he says quietly. "We've a natural choke point here, and they'll only be able to come at us two at a time. So long as we keep an eye to the rear, we should be...."

Darrick stops, looking up. "We should be fine," he continues in a stronger voice. "Doesn't look as though they'll be able to drop anything on us from above."

Or so I'm guessing, based on the description earlier. If I'm wrong, just let me know and I'll amend things.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC] You are correct. As far as anyone can tell, there is no opening on the top of the ruin, and the entire thing is quite overgrown.[/sblock]

Catherine drops the bandit in a heap off to the left of the entrance. "If you so much as move, I swear by the goddess Dol Arrah, I will be your judge, jury and executioner. Understand?"

Catherine looks around, "Do we have time to bind them with rope, or not? I think they've got reinforcements coming soon."

Sepoto leans back against the wall, remaining well out of sight of the rapidly approaching bandits. He fixes the conscious bandit in his gaze, his face contorting in a bestial grimace as he begins to shift. In a deeper, more guttural voice, he whispers across to the panicked man.

"Should you so much as flinch you will suffer. I will hang you alive from the tallest tree in this jungle by a vine upon your leg and let you starve until you will be begging the many-legged things that lair in the darkest canopies above to eat you alive. Do not test me."

[SBLOCK] Just before the bandit's reinforcements draw near, Sepoto will shift and climb up the rocky wall of the ruins exterior, Climb Check = 26 freeing up the flanking position he held at the door for one of his companions. Once above the doorway, provided there is enough room, he will remove the three flasks of alchemists fire from his belt pouch and place them in easy reach to hurl down and into the corridor. If this is not possible, Pebele, the shifter will move aside for one of his more martial companions, back away toward the conscious bandit and draw his bow while maintaining a close watch upon the man.[/SBLOCK]

[sblock=OOC] It looks to me as if the party is preparing to face the bandit reinforcements. Is this correct? If so, I will have that started tomorrow morning.[/sblock]

Kaelan Hp: 36/36 DR remaining for day: 10

Kaelan looks at the sorry state of their captives, and then inside the ruin as he steps outside the entrance and to the side where had hidden earlier. He then approaches their prisoner who was conscious. "This Janus, what sort of fighter is he? A warrior like yourself or something else, somebody who commands magic perhaps? A good answer will let you keep the rest of your blood inside you...a bad answer... I don't want to get into that with the lady listening." Kaelan rests one end of his scimitar on the mans shoulder, with the edge of the blade towards the mans neck. My Valenar instincts tell me to run in there at beat them down, I am a much better warrior than these men could ever hope to be. I can hear Kaelan though, he is telling me to hide, and catch them off guard. Before the reinforcements are visible, Kaelan drinks a potion that will help to protect him and then hides near the entrance, close enough for him to charge an opponent when they appear.

[sblock=ooc]Drink a potion of shield of faith +2, when they can be heard, then hide in P3(from the previous map), readied action to charge. I'm assuming shadowy illumination on the hide check.HIde/ms: 16/31 [/sblock]

 

[Pebele]

The man looks up at Kaelan, his eyes wide. "I never seen him use magic. But I only seen him a few times. He tells us what to do, he don't go out and do things with us."

 

[Shayuri]

Trebuchet marches forward to keep safely close to Catherine and Darrick.

"I too will inflict purposeless horrors upon you should you display further signs of resistance!" he declares good-naturedly, as if offering a piece of candy. "It is important for you to tell us all available tactical information on your fellows!"

 

[Pebele]

The sound of running feet seems to stop down the temple hallway where the first group came from. A voice in the distance calls out in a language Catherine recognizes as halfling, Squad 1 report your status! Dusty reported a battle being fought here.
