Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Shayuri]

"Target locked," Trebuchet announces as he lifts an arm. A cowling on the underside, small with a flat opening, begins to hiss and vent steam. "Ice conjuration, stage two. Ice Knife."

A livid blue light shines from the slitted aparture, then something whooshes out, a blue-white crystal shaped like a dagger's blade. It follows the course of the red beam from the device on his head precisely, so close to Catherine that she can feel the wind from it tickle her ear, to lance at the female bandit.

(Ice Knife! To hit: 27 (glad I used True Strike ) http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1193953 , which negates cover and concealment, doing 7 damage http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1193955 , and she must roll Fort Save DC 15 or suffer 2 Dex damage)

[SBLOCK] I'm sorry Pebele, I made a bit of a blunder on that last round. I foolishly assumed Darrick was the blue tile on the map (he is the yellow), although I did note the correct coordinate in my last post, and was hoping you could reset Sepoto in square B10.

My action will be predicated on where he ends up, I guess. [/SBLOCK]

[sblock]Unfortunately, B10 is occupied by Kaelan, and he didn't move last round, so I cannot put Sepoto in that square. I did notice that you put those coordinates in, but since Kaelan didn't move I figured that you may have confused the coordinates. I should have asked you, so I apologize for that.[/sblock]

 

[Rookseye]

[SBLOCK] Nope, entirely my fault, just wanted to sort out the confusion I managed to create for myself. [/SBLOCK]
"Heeee-arrrhhhhhh!"

Sepoto snarls with pain as the woman, far faster than the shifter presumed, flashes one end of her blade in his face before slashing him with the other. After fading from view and loosing his arrow from nearly point blank range, the shifter reappears, nearly tripping over Darrick's ankles as the knight charges into the corridor. Regaining his footing, the shifter tumbles backward again, seems to blur with the shadows, and fires another dragonsbreath arrow from where he ends up just before Trebuchet.

[SBLOCK] Sepoto will backpedal, 5' step to square B8 before using Ghost Step again and firing another dragonsbreath arrow at Bandit #9 before Kaelan closes ranks with the woman.

Charles makes a swift jump away back and shouts loudly as he attempts to plunge his spear into human bandit before him, but it's admittedly a poor shot.

Kaelan steps forward his spinning blades awash in flame, like the Talenta fire jugglers, only much more deadly. His blades arc towards the beast-faced man, seeking to find openings in his armor.

Charles steps back towards Darrick and makes a clumsy lunge towards the female bandit. The thrust is so off the mark she doesn't even seem to notice she was attacked.

The female bandit continues her attack on Sepoto, striking rapidly with both ends of her sword, and connecting with both. Sepoto wavers unsteadily after the rapid strikes land.

Darrick moves to guard his injured side, but he must have overcompensated as his opponent knocks his attack aside again.

Sepoto manages to steady himself enough to tumble back and fire another shot at the bandit, but this time she knocks the arrow right out of the air using one of the ends of her sword. "Is that all? These kids routed the others?"

Kaelan steps forward with his sword blazing. Both strikes land on the bestial man, but again he shows little acknowledgment of the attacks.

Darrick's opponent evades Darrick's defensive maneuvers and slashes him across the opposite arm. "Give it up kid, you're out of your damn league here!"

The beast of a man brings his axe around again and this time, Catherine can't evade it. The blade strikes her across the ribs, knocking the wind out of her, even as she feels bone cracking.

Trebuchet's icy projectile finds it mark this time in the female bandit, and she shakes as cold spreads across her body.

Catherine's blade (guided by luck or skill) strikes home again on the beast man, and finally the attack seems to register.

Kaelan 36/36 hp 10 DR remaining 0 hp healed

Seeing the grevious inflicted upon Catherine by the beast man, Kaelan decides now is the time to attack without holding back. He raises his scimitar for a large over head blow at the skull of the beast man, the blade covered in crackling electricity, chilling frost, and burning fire.

[sblock=ooc]Attack the beast man full power attack, use swift action to activate all 3 weapon capsules. 22 to hit, 23 damage total Has the woman avoided catching fire from the dragonsbreath arrows?[/sblock]

 

[BRP2]

"They actually know how to put up a fight!" Charles shouted as he tumbles back. He positions himself as quickly as he can behind Darrick's opponent and again attempts to spear him through.

"I beg to differ," Darrick snarls at his foe, anger lending strength to his arm. Twisting to the side, he moves to stand next to Charles, flashing his companion a strained grin as he does. "Time to stop playing with him, eh?"

[sblock]
Better! 25 to hit, but a mere 5 for damage. Follow this with a 5' step to G10.[/sblock]
