Q'Barra: Facing Truth

Sepoto fires another arrow, which this time flies off in to the trees in front of him instead of at the druid he had aimed at.

Charles ducked and tumbled away from the bear, then expelled a great ball of flame at the remaining wolf. The wolfs fur briefly caught fire, and it yelped in pain.

Kaelan withdraws, limping rather badly, but he is still able to dodge as the wolf snapped its jaws at him. The wolverine, however, was luckier, and caught his bad leg with one of its claws. Kaelan grunted, but kept moving, until he was far from the enemies..

The back-most druid moves forward towards Kaelan's position. "Know this, you will not survive." He says, as he hefts his club.

The black bear rears up and mauls Catherine, each of its claws raking down her shoulders. It then leans forward and its jaws close around her right shoulder. Catherine screams in pain, but remains standing.

The wolverine hisses and gnashes its teeth while it approaches Kaelan.

Catherine moves to Kaelan's side, ignoring her own injuries she mutters a prayer while laying her hands on Kaelan to heal some of his wounds.

Darrick charges forward and slashes his sword at the bear. He connects, laying a neat gash across the bear's stomach. The bear rears back in pain.

The southern-most druid ran towards Charles, waving his club. Charles stabbed his spear forward, skewering the druid in the heart. The druid swings his club feebly as he dies.

The northern-most druid closes on Kaelan wordlessly.

The remaining wolf runs towards Kaelan, but Catherine stops it short by crushing its head with her halberd.

Trebuchet fires at the druid in front of him, two energy balls hitting the druid squarely in the chest. The druid grunted in pain, but remained standing.

Summary:
Kaelan took 6 damage, and was healed for 12 (so he is at 13/36 hp)
Catherine took 15 damage
Black Bear took 8 damage
Child of Winter (Black 9) takes 12 damage
Wolf 1 is dead
Child of Winter (Aqua 8) is dead

Gripping his bow in one thickly-knuckled, long-fingered hand, Sepoto rushes forward on all fours, leaping and bounding through the tangled undergrowth until his orange fur seemingly blurs to the point that it fades from view. Stepping between the violence of the clearing into the spirit realm of I'Katra, he rises invisible to his foes from the thick fronds of the jungle fern beside Kaelan and looses a third arrow at the wolverine as it charges his friend.

[SBLOCK] Sepoto moves forward to square I1, the northern square adjacent to Kaelan. He will then use a swift action to use Ghost Step, becoming invisible once again (1 use remaining for the day), and fire an arrow at the wolverine, in an attempt to defend the 'Valenar' beside him.
Shortbow attack = 20
Shortbow damage = 6

Kaelan

Kaelan grinned, he was in a good mood, battle was fully joined. His plan had worked, charge into the thick of melee and hurt the enemy. Take many blows, many future scars; make the enemy overconfident; withdraw like a wolf with it's tail between it's legs, drawing the enemy right into his companions blades and spears and arrows. That is what he'd tell his companions anyway. ;) Looking back at Catherine as she healed his wounds he said, "I hope you've got more of those, I'll need them." His focus then returned to the wolverine in front of him as an arrow appeared out of the jungle and into it's side. Kaelan charged again, if he didn't finish it here, it would probably rip him apart. He would fall gloriously, and his companions would still prevail in the end. Still Kaelan called upon his brother to aid him here because he felt that the time for him was not yet to come. As he rushed the wolverine, a cool mist appeared around his blade, the cold of the alchemical capsule mixing with the warm jungle air. As his blade arcs downward, he sneers at the Child that spoke to him. "I have other plans actually."

[sblock=ooc]Charge wolverine. AC drops to 15. Power attack for full(4). Activate quickfrost capsule. Darrick's aura included. Here's to not rolling low...21 to hit, 16 damage Edit: That is actually 19 damage, forgot Catherine's aura and an extra pt of str (+8 PA, +2 aura, 4 str)[/sblock]

"Dammit, Charles! That one was mine!" Grinning fiercely, Darrick steps forward, into the midst of the foes. "Suppose you'll have to do," he snarls, swinging towards the man standing in front of him....

[sblock]Five foot step to K3, Knight's challenge CoW 9, 2 Point PA on same. 26 to hit, 7 damage, possible critical., and an 18 to confirm, with 13 damage. If his chosen foe is down before his turn arrives, Darrick will attack the bear or the wolverine, in that order of preference. In either case, his attack roll and damage will be one less.[/sblock]
 


Flickering blue light still shining from the ports into his chest cavity, Trebuchet fires another salvo of force bolts at the Child of Winter, hoping to finish him before he could heal himself.

(magic missile, 2d4+2...plus the Warmage Edge of 2...which I've been forgetting to count...sigh. :) Total of 2d4+4 then.)
 

"Dammit, Charles! That one was mine!"

"I'm not picking targets here! If you liked him so much, you should of warn him not to get in the way my reach!"

Charles moves swiftly, behind his enemies' position. He calls to them, "This is your only chance! Give up now and you will live!"

His next actions depend on how the Druids reply.

If they agree to stop the fight, Charles asks his teammates to stop as well.

If they don't agree to stop the fight, Charles curses and yells to them "Fine! But I hope you know that it was your judgment that killed you, not us!". He sucks up another breath of air and fires it at one of his opponents, preferably the Druid who spoke last to him.

[sblock]

I move from L-7 to O-6.

Talk. If the fight continues, then I spit fire at the target who talked to me, or (first more than talked) the one who talked last. If for whatever reason, no one talks, then I aim for the Wolverine.

I use Dodge on the Wolverine.

AC=AC 19. (20 vs Wolverine)

Fire Breath (4d6=16)

Sepoto loosed an arrow and finally he connected with his target. The arrow struck the wolverine, sticking out of its back.

Charles makes his statement to the druids, the druid to the South (10) laughs and replies "You have no idea what you are up against. We will never surrender to the likes of you." Charles shrugs and takes a deep breath, he exhales with force and spits another ball of fire at the druid who spoke to him. The druid flails momentarily to put out the flames on himself.

Kaelan charges and slashes heavily into the wolverine, the wolverine screeches but still clings to life.

The black bear rears up and attacks Darrick. Darrick dodges the bears bite and its left claw, but its right claw connects savagely, laying open the inside of Darrick's arm as he tries to block the attack.

The druid to the South (10) steps behind the fighting and lays his hands on the wolverine, chanting softly.

The wolverine savages Kaelan, connecting with one of its claws to his still injured leg and its teeth to the same leg.

Catherine moves forward and strikes the wolverine with her halberd, separating its head from its body.

Druid 9 strikes Kaelan with its club, there is a sickening crunch as it connects with Kaelan's head, and Kaelan collapses into a heap. He is still breathing, but shallowly.

Darrick steps forward, and with an enraged scream strikes the druid (9) with his sword. He lays open the druid's chest, and he collapses to the ground.

Trebuchet adjusts his targeting to the bear, and lets fly his spell. The bear is hit by two glowing projectiles, with a final growl the bear shimmers out of existence.

Summary:
Kaelan took 21, unconscious at -8/26
Darrick took 14
Wolverine is dead
Black bear is dead
Druid (black 9) is dead

"Enough!" Darrick screams, as he moves to put himself between Kaelan and the last druid. He slashes wildly at his foe, ignoring the blood flowing from his sword arm....

[sblock]If the remaining Child of Winter is still standing on his turn, Darrick will more to engage -- either with a 5' step to L2, or with a charge if he druid's tried to flee. 16 to hit, 11 damage, with a +2 to both hit and damge if he did have to charge. If the last foe is already down, he'll attempt a Heal check on Kaelan to stabilize him, for a respectable 15.[/sblock]
 

Kaelan

It was a good blow, but not nearly enough... The wolverine still stood, Kaelan could hardly see the club as it decended towards his skull, his brother just had barely failed to warn him in time of the advancing blow.


Brother I can see you. Is that The Silver Flame behind you?

Go back, it is not time yet.

No I don't want to go back yet, I want to stay here. They have everything under control there.

Your destiny is not yet finished, you must return...

[sblock=ooc]Were any of those hit's I took crits? I got pounded on in that battle, but I did my share of pounding as well. :D No stabilization: 79 [/sblock]
