Q'Barra: Into the Emerald Forest

[Harvey]

Erin

Round 3:

Erin, wielding her morningstar, comes rushing to the wounded Paladin's aide. "Hold the line, my friends, I am coming to help!" She moves to the fore of Kolbek's Pride, and brings her morningstar to bear on the archer immediately to the left of Sanae. Noticing the depths of Sanae wounds, she calls back to Borden. "We need some medical help up here soon, Old Borden!"

OOC: I'm not sure if Erin can pull this off, but I would like her to move to the fore of Kolbek's Pride, (I guess position J10? if possible) and attack the Archer at I9. Attack 1d20 + 6 + 1 (bless) + 2 (bane humans) = 15. If that hits, she does 1d8 + 2 + 1 (courage) + 2d6 (bane) = 16 points.

 

[Yeoman]

Xavier swings at the closest archer to him, trying to buy time for the rest of the group to arrive on deck. Looking over to the sailors Xavier yells "Don't even think of joining in, or you'll be swimming back to Newthrone!"

Xavier attacks the archer in square L9.Attack Roll 9

Background:
Devian is a neutral good cleric of the Sovereign host.
When he was younger he served in the war, fighting against the Karranthi
(that's why he hates undead) but he was always in support,
healing the wounded -a thing he's always had a knack for.

For 30 years he's been content with being a small town cleric,
helping refugees and people fleeing from the fronts.
He never wanted profit and will heal anyone who needs it.

Now that the war is finally over, he intends to fullfill a
promise made to a halfling friend who died in his care, to
find out what happened to his family, a young dragonmarked
halfling of house Jorasco with a wife and infant son who
dissapeared in one of their travels 20 years ago.

For the last two years Devian has been joining bands of adventurers
and honing up his skills, he discovered that he enjoys life on the
road and adventure makes him feel younger.

Appearance:
Tall and thin, Old borden has weathered olive skin. He is completely bald, but keeps a short and thick white beard he usually strokes while thinking.
His green eyes look intelligent and happy.

He wears loose priest robes, tied by a sash on the waist from which the silver holy symbol of the Sovereign host hangs. Underneath the robes a fine chain shirt can be seen.
Borden uses a quarterstaff bound with mithril and with an embedded holy symbol as a focus for his power, walking aid and ocassional weapon. When he travels he hangs his crossbow and a small backpack on his back.

Personality:
Old borden is wise and kind. He has seen a lot of good and bad in the world, and since the days of the war he dedicated himself to selflessly help those in need. He is a positive fellow, always in a good mood. He preaches the Host's teachings but is no fanatic, he accepts that many are faithless or neglect their worship, Borden hopes that by his acts of good he will set an example and win them over.

He doesnt tolerate liers and is a very good judge of character.

You can always find with him a small pocket knife that he uses to carve wood when he has time, and candles for a nightly prayer.

He prays for spells and guidance at night before sleeping or first thing in the morning. He prefers praying at night for spells of a more agressive nature.

Borden watches as Kajalaketh casts some kind of magic to slow his companion's attack. He is not sure of its nature, seems like arcane castings.. What he is sure about is about the magic that backs HIM up.

Borden shouts with all his power: "By the will of the Gods! Stand still where you are!! " as he prays the Host for the power to paralyze the enemy leader. After that he moves closer to the edge, to reach and cure a wounded friend or to climb aboard.

clarification

OOC: I'm not sure if Erin can pull this off, but I would like her to move to the fore of Kolbek's Pride, (I guess position J10? if possible) and attack the Archer at I9.

That's more or less where she is already. The only problem is that the deck of the patrol boat is about 7' above her - to attack anyone up there she would need to climb up the rope ladder like Sanae and Xavier did. Xavier is currently standing where the ladder terminates. Erin would need to squeeze past him and/or Sanae to get at the guy in I9. Full move to do it safely, move action that provokes AoO to get an attack this round (at -2 due to cramped conditions until she can move to her "own" space).

 

[Pebele]

Sanae Round Three

Realizing her plight, Sanae does not move from her position. Her mind is reeling from the damage she has sustained, she had not expected a battle so soon in to their journey. She clenched her jaw against crying out, instead making her face a mask of stone as she glares over the heads of the soldiers at Kajalaketh.

"My fury shall not be held in check, you will pay for all your lies! Silver Flame, guide my blade!"

Clenching her teeth again she raised her sword once more and sought to bring justice to the soldiers standing before her.

Sanae is attacking the soldier at I8.
Attack Roll: 20
Damage: 13
If I8 is killed, Cleave Attack Roll: 19
Cleave Damage: 14

OOC: OK, then she will full move into that position this round, and attack the next available opponent next round (which will probably change, given another set of Sanae's and Xavier's attacks...)

 

[doghead]

'he has no name', warforged warrior.

'he has no name' turns and considers Eff Flat for a moment. The effect of the music is otherworldly, and 'he has no name' is slightly disconcerted by the fact that it is coming from one like himself.

Snapping out of it, glances over his shoulder to see how things stand behind him. The others have made a bridgehead on the barge, and seem to be gaining the upper hand. Sanae seems to encounted something, but the warforged has no idea what it is does. There is nothing he can do to help her there. The warforged considers joining the fight on the barge, but then that would leave the four soldiers unattended except for Eff Flat, and she is busy with the music.

Killing the soldiers would be the most convenient solution. But the warforged can't bring himself to it at this point.

'he has no name' indicates for the soldier to lie facedown down on the deck. The warforged steps forwards, careful not to disturb the unconscious soldiers, and pushes their weapons out of reach.

"Guard them, and if they move, you may chew on them," the warforged says to the hound. The hound growls encouragingly.

Propping his spear nearby, he takes the discarded bow and some arrows.

ooc: That should cover a round or so. Kind of wait and see mode at the moment. hhnn will keep watch on the soldiers, as well as the fight on the boat. He will take a shot at Kajalaketh or any of the soldiers not engaged in melee (don't want to end up shooting one of our own) if he gets the chance.

Conflict on the river, round three

Eff Flat continues to play his dagger flutes, moving in closer to the soldier who has surrendered. He makes it clear that the knives can be employed as cutting implements with but a moment’s notice should the soldier attempt to move.

Sanae continues to cut a swath of death around her. Two more soldiers fall before her furious onslaught. Kajalaketh looks genuinely frightened now. Attempting to control his fear, he glares intently at her. His malice radiates from him like a corona. Sanae feels the power of his mind overwhelming hers, forcing an incoherent jumble of images and sensations on her that destroys her ability to act normally. The energy ring surrounding her continues to fire arcs of electricity, but in her current state, she barely feels the burning.

The patrol boat crew seems cowed and withdraws further, but it is difficult to say if Xavier’s words or Sanae’s fury are the cause. Xavier’s thrust against one of the soldiers is deftly parried, but the soldier’s riposte is no more effective. The soldier’s companion takes advantage of Xavier’s momentary distraction to get a blow in under his defenses, leaving a long gash down Xavier’s side.

The third soldier, spotting Erin’s approach and wanting to get out of reach of Sanae’s deadly blade, backs up and waits to engage the artificer. Erin gingerly makes her way between the crackling ring of electricity and Xavier. Before she can raise her flail for a strike, the soldier swings his scimitar, cutting into her arm deeply.

‘He has no name’ recovers the surrendered soldier’s weapons. Between dog and Eff Flat, the prisoner seems singularly disinclined to object. Unfotunately, the canopy obscures the warforged's view of the battle. He will either need to move forward or lean out over one side or the other to get a better view. From his current position, he can make out Sanae and Kajalaketh if he leans out the port side or Xavier and Erin if he goes to the starboard side.

Old Borden once again calls on the gods to aid him and it appears that this time they answer his prayers. Kajalaketh stands rigid, frozen in place.

Initiative Order
Eff Flat 16
Sanae 16
Kajalaketh 12
Xavier 10 (higher DEX)
Soldiers 10
‘he has no name’ 8
Borden 3
Erin 1

FYI – in interest of speeding things along, I have been rolling all saving throws for PCs in this combat.

Sanae takes 4 hp damage from the electrical ring and is confused – she will be unable to do anything but babble incoherently next round. Xavier takes 10 hp damage (critical hit!) from the soldier at L9. Erin takes 7 hp damage (threat, but unconfirmed) from the soldier at K7.

[Pebele]

Just before her mind was overwhelmed with a jumble of thoughts and images, Sanae had turned her eyes toward Kajalaketh and held her sword at ready, an obvious sign that she would be coming for him next.

However, before she could make good on her threat she was overcome with the urge to babble on about lions, dragons, kittens, birds and their relation to one another.

 

[Yeoman]

Xavier knows that he can do nothing to assist Sanae with either her rambling or her wounds, so he decides to clear a path for Borden and to assist Erin with the remaining soldiers. He moves quickly through the fray, taking care to stay on guard the entire way. Once in position opposite Erin, he takes a swing at the soldier they are flanking.

"Spear! We really could use your help here!"

Xavier is using tumble to go from K9 to J8, J7 and finally ending at K6, where he will attack the soldier at K7. Because of Xavier's skirmish ability he gains a +1 competance bonus to his AC this round.
first tumble against opponent in L9: 19
second tumble against opponent at L8: 21
third tumble against opponent at K7: 16
attack roll: 17 (forgot to add +2 for flanking. my apologies)
damage: 14 (8 plus skirmish 6)
