Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Rolzup]

Muttering a steady stream of curses, Darrick advances and makes a swift thrust at Janus...only to feel his foot slip in a puddle of blood, and his sword skid harmlessly across his foes armor.

Rapidly recovering hs balance, he shift his weight to his other foot and takes up a defensive stance with a sneer at Janus.

[Sblock=OOC]
This time for SURE.

5' step to 9C, or into contact with Janus, and attack -- with another Action Point, as I have learned my lesson.

But apparently Invisible Castle does not agree. 18 to hit, and that's with a 6 on the AP die. I'm starting to realize that Darrick is a fundamentally unlucky fellow, and shall remember this in the future.

Wait, that's a 19 to hit. Not that it makes any difference, but I need to remember the fighting challenge modifier.[/sblock]

I'm still in D7 right? I think you forgot to put me back on the map.
Also, does standing up from prone count as movement for purposes of taking a 5' step?
I'll post once I hear back from you. Thanks Pebele.

[sblock]Yes you are. I apologize for that. The map should be fixed now.

I'll allow you to stand from prone and take a 5' step. Silly grey areas![/sblock]

Catherine stands up unsteadily with her hand on her halberd, and takes a quick step forward. Watching Kaelan get struck repeatedly by the remaining bandits, Catherine raises her halberd and tries to cleave Janus in two.

[sblock=Alternate Action and OOC]
Attack Roll 17
Attack Roll AP +6
Damage 8

Alternate Action
If Janus is down by the time Catherine's turn comes around...

"Seeing Janus fall, Catherine utters a quick prayer and channels the healing grace of Dol Arrah into Kaelan's battered frame."

Still behind cover, Trebuchet begins applying the magical salve to the worst damaged portions of his body, all the while considering the inefficiency of this action and considering possible improvements to the process for the future.

(I "drink" the "potion." )

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto nocks a replacement arrow before his first even strikes the opposing wall and fires again at the dwarf.

[SBLOCK] Sepoto will attack the dwarf again, this time with a Dragonsbreath arrow.
Shortbow Attack = 20, given that this may be borderline, Sep will use an Action Point as well, resulting in a "4" for a total of 24
Shortbow Damage = 2
I'm not sure what the additional damage is for these types of arrows, feel free to add it on. [/SBLOCK]

hp: 27 Ki Power Remaining: 0 Action Points: 3

Kaelan 3/44 7 DR remaining 1 hp healed 4 str damage

[sblock=ooc]I take it Janus tumbed away to avoid AoO? On another note, this could be the end of Kaelan if they go in for the kill. I've got ideas in mind though if it comes to that.[/sblock]

Kaelan, weak from the wounds and the poison coursing through his veins, makes one last heroic effort at cutting down his foes, much like his brother did. He cuts at the dwarf, his blades spinning around his head like the desert twisters in of his homeland. He jumps and raises his knee spike towards the dwarfs throat. As he lands from that he lunges forward, biting at the dwarf's ear.

[sblock=ooc]Attack rolls: 19, 22, 10, 14 AP on the 19: +2 makes it 21 4 damage and 5 damage for the 21 and 22 to hit. [/sblock]

 

[BRP2]

Charles races around the table to get a better attack at the Dwarf. He sees the severity of Kaelen's punishment and only hopes to make it in time to do some damage to the Dwarf. He does his very best to strike at the Dwarf.

[sblock]

Kaelen, unless somethings prevents my attack, add +1 to all your attack rolls, and that goes for anyone else who attacks the dwarf after me.

That's two AP down... I don't have Ebberon on me... it's level+3 isn't it? So now I'm down 6? Or am I way off?

Move to G-8. (with full 40 feet of movement!) If the Dwarf moves out of range, hmm, well probably won't use an AP if I can't hit him without activating Skirmish.

Attack on Dwarf with spear.

Attack; Action Point (1d20+6=10, 1d6=6)

...bloody hell.

Well damage anyway if I do hit:

Damage; Skirmish (1d8+4=5, 2d6=9) 14 damage total.

Sepoto nocks one of the fiery arrows and looses it. The arrow ignites as it flies through the air and strikes the dwarf in the shoulder and bursts into flames.

The dwarf grunts in pain, but still manages to land a rapid slash against Kaelan's flank. The sword seems to hesitate slightly as the white aura surrounding Kaelan flares briefly, but still manages to strike Kaelan. The aura seems to have prevented some of the damage however.

Janus lunges forward while Kaelan is distracted and connects with both axes. The same aura slows the axes down, but the axes still find their mark. As the first axe bites into Kaelan's flesh, he feels his reflexes dull, and the second axe bites into the same area it struck previously. Kaelan collapses to the ground.

Charles moves as fast as he can, but his spear's blade is knocked aside again by the interlocking plates of the dwarf's armor.

Darrick moves closer to Janus, but his blade is knocked aside again by the halfling's dual axes.

Marcus moves forward and attacks the dwarf, but his attacks are deflected off the dwarf's shield.

Victoria draws a potion from her belt and administers it to Kaelan, but her action leaves her open, and the dwarf lands a thrust that draws a bloody gash across her arm. Kaelan stirs slightly, but his eyes remain closed.

Trebuchet administers his last repair salve, and some of the damage starts to repair itself, but there is a lot of repair work left to do.

Catherine, guided by holy furor or perhaps simply rage at seeing Kaelan drop, delivers a tremendous overhand attack and strikes Janus directly in the skull. The blade penetrates slightly, and Janus drops to the ground bleeding heavily.

Alicia's blades find their mark on the dwarf, and he makes a gurgling sound as she slices his neck. The dwarf drops to the ground.

Tarshana moves forward and touches Kaelan, and the same healing energy she used on Catherine flows into Kaelan. Kaelan stirs and opens his eyes again.

The captain moves down to where Janus's body is, and without a word, rams his crystalline blade into Janus's throat. If Janus was still alive, he most certainly isn't now.

Damage Summary:
Kaelan is at 4 hp, 5 points of dex damage
Trebuchet +4

"Well," Darrick says into the sudden silence, "That was certainly...painful." Limping forward, he looks over the others. "Is everyone more or less all right? And are they likely to be any more of them?" he asks Ducerne, "Or was this the lot of them?"
