Remnants of the Horde-Flight from Aruth

[Capellan]

A clear path opens between Wekerak and the Knight and the goblin smiles. At last a chance to gnaw on his bones.

Wekerak spurs Frosbite forward, rushing past the elves to slam into the Knight from behind. As the wolf races forward, it turns its head enough to breathe a gout of frost into the pack of elves.

OOC: cold breath from Frostbite on the elves, then charge the Knight, flanking him with Kurg. If you don't like the splitting of targets, then assume he uses the frost breath on the knight.

 

[Mickerus]

As Midnight Fang stands and gathers the loot from the fallen wizard, she plainly hears the bellows and screams nearby from the efforts of one of the oafs and decides to change tactics.

Instead of attempting to delay the incoming group of elves, she decides to let them charge head-first into their deaths, and quickly turns and makes haste to rejoin the main group, using the woods for cover (when she becomes visible again) as long as possible.

 

[Set Harth]

Valrack awaits his mount before descending out of the trees to land on her back. He takes the elf wizards satchel from the worgs mouth. "Ah, the spoils of war." grins Valrack. He takes a momment to summon a dark aura around himself and Kithcor (casts protection from good) before moving to rejoin Varn.

OOC: My Actions for this round.

 

[Jeremy]

Bargo shoulder slams into the pack of elves, leaving himself open, and allowing an elf to drive his elegant elven blade straight into his liver. The raging ogre has been battered around so often though, and so much harder, that in his insane furor, he finds it comical and roars with laughter as he launches the elf into the air before slamming Elf Splitter into him in midair and crunching his pathetic corpse into the soon-to-be corpses of his brethren.

After slaying this small group he thunders off to the beautiful bloodfest just north of him, plunging headlong into the midst of it.

Wekerak:17
Knight of the Moon:15
Urfgak the Shaman & Elemental:14
Legionarres:12
Hobgoblins:11
Durgo :11
Bargo:10
Kurg:6

Midnight Fang skulks off through the forest heading North, her Invisibility lasting just a few precious rounds.

Ferulen Deathwind swings in a flurry of blows, Varn deflecting many of them, though one scores a deep gash in his arm.

Varn replies in kind,hitting the Elf no less than 3 times

<Varn just did 67 HP to the Elf's 16>
Ferulen falls back a bit, spitting blood and curses
'You have much skill for an animal. I will proudly display your head above my mantle when I have slain you.'

Valrack casts Protection From Good' and spurs Hex off, she trotting into a run, heading north.

Wekerak charges the Knight from behind, Frostbite spitting deadly cold upon the elves as he goes
< 15HP:3 sorely wounded, but not killed>
Wekerak rides right up and plunges Weeping Blade into the Elven Knight < 13HP, sneak and acid included>

The Knight continues to attack Kurg , the gleaming longsword hitting him twice < 33HP, Ouch>.
The Boar, smelling the Winter Wolf behind him,and despite the Knight's attempts to keep him facing Kurg <failed Ride check>, turns in rage and tries to Gore Frostbite, missing him, as Wekerak swerved his Mount out of harm's way with a sneer.
Frostbite leers with cold eyes and proclaims ;I do think it will be Pig for dinner...' in his disturbingly low Common, almost a growl
.
Leaving the Knight's back deliciously open to Krug...

Urfgak the Shaman, free for a moment from attack, takes the opportunity to Cure Moderate Wounds himself.

The Elemental, smashing into the Elves again, smashing one into a bloody pulp and missing a second.

The 2 Legionarres left near the Elemental try and run, the one closest gets away <Elemental's AoOp failed>, while the other takes a hit from the nearest Hobgoblin before escaping.

The 3 Legionarres attacking Bargo stab ferociously at him, 2 managing to hit, though doing no significant damage.

The 2 Leginarres attacking Durgo swing again, missing him.

The Legionarres east of Durgo fire their composite bows at the Ogre, headless of ther comrades.
No arrows succeed in piercing Durgo's armor, though one arrow does wound a Legionarre.

The Legionarres to the NorthWest grow closer, though they have stopped firing their bows.

The Legionarres to the East grow audibly close, their Hounds barking up a cacaphonous storm.

The Legionarres to the West reach the edge of the woods...
At their head is a Centurion wearing brilliantly bedecked Full Plate Armor. At the sight of Bargo, the Centurion laughs
'And I thought that I would get a decent fight today...'

TheLegionarres around Wekerak close in, 2 hitting him
<8HP>
while 2 hit Frostbite
<11HP>
Wekerak attacks one of the foolish elves, killing him
<AoOp, he was down from the Frostbreath already>
Frostbite does likewise, killing a second one.

The 3 Hobgoblins nearest Urfgak fall in aroundhim defensively, one retrieving the fallen Company Standard.

The Elves and Hobgoblins in the Web struggle, none freeing themselves as of yet.

Durgo smashes one Elf, cleaving through and tearing the second Elf's head clean off, shooting it up and away like some child's toy ball
<and people say that Cleave isnt useful at higher levels...>
Then, the Ogre lumbers another 20 feet closer to the Captain Varn need help! Gnoll and Goblin looking hard pressed too.


Bargo swings, chopping one Elf in half, then skewering the second,giving true meaning to the Blade's name, as he splits the Legionarre like cordwood.

The Centurion Captain pauses and says quietly Well, that WAS rather impressive.'

Kurg, grinning maliciously at his good fortune, smacks the Uppity Priest of a false God in thr back with his Flail
<15 HP, including Unholy>



Round Eight

*actions?*

 

[Uriel]

Round Eight

 

[Jeremy]

Bargo grins through the splattered entrails of the two elves hanging from his face and hair. OOC: Intimidate +12 +xx Circumstance bonus. But he pauses in his rampage with all the beautiful walking corpses in front of him. Too crazed to see the danger he manages to process the taunt and stops to outright laugh at the foolish elf.

OOC: Action--Bargo will delay. Any AofO the Centurion will offer due to reach, Bargo will gladly take. Then after the Centurion has his chance, he will come out of delay and five foot step back out of the Centurion's reach. With his extra partial action he will attempt to sunder the Centurion's weapon at +22 (4d8+21), then full attack action on him at +22/+17 (4d8+28, 12-20/x2) hoping for a crit as Bargo is down to 36 hp (18 after the rage runs out). AC is 27 still.

 

[Orochi]

Kurg snarls under the impact of the priest's blade, dark blood welling up from a pair of long slashes the foul Knight had given him before his beast decided to set the priorities of the battle, turning to strike at the wolf rider who had enraged it so. He had delivered a vicious blow but it did not have the bone crushing power of the first. What was worse was the feeling of weakness he was experiencing. If that damnable priest turned to him again, he may very well succeed in striking him dead. And so Kurg steps back, his growls more supplicating as he asked Yeenoghu to heal his wounds, though they are laced with threats against the Demon God's foes as well.

OOC: Moving back and casting Cure Critical Wounds on myself.

 

[Mickerus]

Midnight Fang continues to stealthily advance to the edge of the clearing, and upon seeing the incoming unit of elves from the northwest climbs one of the trees to settle in a decently hidden position to snipe with her dart.

 

[Capellan]

Wekerak curses the puny elves, licking his lips at the thought of dining on their hearts. He slashes with both blades at the Knight, taking advantage of the distraction presented by Kurg to target his opponent's most vulnerable spots, then almost dances Frosbite to the side, opening a small space between himself and his enemies.

OOC: full attack while the Knight is still flanked (thank darkness Kurg moves after Wekerak!) then a 5' step away from the Knight, forcing him to choose between pursuing Wekerak and turning on the Gnoll. Wekerak will use his both his Mounted Combat feat and Deflect Attack abilities (the latter of which I'd clean forgotten until now!) to prevent damage to Frostbite.
