Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Pebele]

Charles darts past the armored man again and lunges with his spear again, but his shield knocks the blow aside.

The woman presses her attack against Kaelan, her eyes narrowed with barely contained fury. "Valenar raiders killed my family 10 years ago." The darkened end of her blade cuts across Kaelan's right shoulder. "I watched my mother die trying to save me, so don't talk to me about your damn friends." The silvery end of her blade comes across Kaelan's chest scraping against his armor, and cutting a minor wound as it goes. Each time, the crystal on Kaelan's armor flashes briefly before returning to it's normal appearance.

The armored bandit steps forward towards Charles and slashes him easily across the chest. "Stand still! You are like some kind of little mosquito."

Trebuchet's electric attack catches the woman completely off guard, and she drops to the ground her hands still clenching the hilt of her weapon.. As she drops, Kaelan can see her mouthing something that looks like an apology to her mother.

The other bandit's attention shifts towards the group in the main hall as she goes down. "Alicia?! No..." As Charles is the closest to him, he can see easily that the last bandit's resolve is wavering.

The crackling spines whirr back into Trebuchet's arm and he steps forward over the fallen bandit's body to face the last man standing.

"Suggestion. Drop your weapon, or I shall take the welcome opportunity to test some of my newer functions."

There are mechanical clanking noises as his left forearm reconfigures; his hand retracts to leave a large, rather intimidating black hole. The outer plates of his oversized forearm seem to break apart like puzzle pieces, turn, then interlock back together in a different configuration.

From far inside the deep round recess in his arm comes an ominous glow and a deep, throbbing hum.

"What say you?"

(Readying action to spellcast if bandit attacks or moves.)

 

[Rolzup]

Beneath Darrick's still form, the pool of blood grows slowly larger....

[sblock=OOC]
Failed to stabilize again. It's traditional, in our games, to say "I continue to bleed," at this juncture.

[sblock]Is his reach 10'?[/sblock]

[sblock=BRP2]
You noticed him closing in to attack Darrick each time, so it doesn't appear that he does.

[sblock=Shayuri]
What spell are you readying?

[Yeoman]

The flow of blood seems to slow and Catherine's breathing steadies itself. Still shallow, but stable.

Yay for stability!

[Rookseye]

As the electrified spines go suddenly flat on Trebuchet's arm, the comically erect fur on Sepoto's form falls to a more natural position on his body. His breathing is shallow, but regular.

Kaelan 13/36 7 DR remaining 0 hp healed

Kaelan looks dumbly at the dead woman and the black hole through her chest. "Good job Treb," he says simply. Reality then returns and he remembers the heavily armored man nearby. "Treb, Charles keep him busy! I'm going to wake Catherine!" Kaelan pulls out his wand and touches the knight on the back.

[sblock=ooc]4 hp healed [/sblock]

Charles drops his spear and tumbles over Darrick's body, but tripping and stumbling over his body. After he recovers from the failed attempt and moves forward, he pulls out his throwing axe. He stops suddenly and chucks it with great force at the armored bandit aiming for the most vulnerable spot visible.

Tumble (1d20+10=11)

A 1!!! Oh god haha. Hmm, what negative effects could that result in? Either way, I fail the check.

Drop Spear, Draw Throwing Axe.

Move to F-10.

Critical! Well, a 20 right after a 1... hmm... confirmation roll:

Confirmation (1d20+6=19)

Crit Damage (1d6=5) 15 Damage Total if confirms.

I hope I don't get cut down before I can make the attack.
