RESTARTED - Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

As Trevor reports back on what he has found, you all hear the southeastern door creak open. You whirl toward the sound, to find a bugbear, armored in metal scales, staring at you from the doorway. Immediately recognizing you as a threat, it barks out a short stream of words in some gutteral language.

[sblock=For those that speak Goblin]"INTRUDERS! TO ARMS!"[/sblock]

COMBAT - ROUND 1

Dara quickly casts a protective spell and then moves near the door on the other side, trying to see what lies beyone the open door with the bugbear in it. From her vantage point, she can see past the visible bugbear, and into the chamber beyond.

[sblock=Dara Only]
Dara sees three more bugbears beyond the first one, all leaping up from their seats around a table where it seems they had been playing at dice. They are rushing to grab weapons and shields to arm themselves for combat.
[/sblock]

Trevor quickly fires off a shot with his longbow at the Bugbear. Trev's aim is just off by a bit, so while he strikes the Bugbear, the wound is by no means severe.

With a blood curdling scream, the bugbear yanks its blade from its sheath and charges forward, seeing an easy target in the bow-armed Trevor. Wielding its blade in two hands, the bugbear strikes at the soldier; Trevor dodges the worst of it, but a line of crimson appears along his right arm.

Verdis' crossbow twangs and a bolt goes sailing into the Bugbear. It catches him in the stomach, penetrating his scale armor and going deep.

[NPC] Coraine moves around his companions while drawing his own sword, and aims a savage cute at the foe, but the wiley bugbear dodges out of the way.

Kurt pauses, waiting for a tactical advantage.

Ragnok shoves past his companions to bring Norryjar to bear against the bugbear. The blade comes up in a powerful overhand strike, and descends with the switfness and power of a bolt of lightning! Norryjar cleaves the bugbear from skull to groin, cutting the unfortunate beast in half, and spraying gore across the floor, himself, Trevor and Coraine.



[sblock=Boddy]
I only come up with a +11 attack for Ragnok with Norryjar...am I missing a +1 somewhere?

OOC: He's right at the end of the initiative count but, barring any other developments, Ragnok'll get up close so he can hit the bugbear! :lol:
 

Dara

Dara quickly casts a protective spell and then moves near the door on the other side, trying to see what lies beyone the open door with the bugbear in it.


OOC: Cast Shield and move to S70.
 

Kurt pauses, waiting for a tactical advantage.

ooc: Kurt will delay until there is a nice grouping of bugbear and its allies before dropping a sound burst on the lot.
 



COMBAT - ROUND 2

You can all hear the sounds of bugbear yells in the room from which the first bugbear entered. Only a moment later, another one appears, rushing from the room to engage Ragnok. The goblinoid's blade skitters across the dwarf's plate armor, doing no harm.

“There are two more in the room right now,” Dara says to the others, while moving around the bugbear that has attacked Ragnok. Swinging her sword with deadly precision, she somewhat forgets to put more force into the blow, but it still causes a wound.

[sblock=For Thanee]Not that is would matter this round since you rolled an 18, but how did you get a +9 attack for Dara? Your character sheet shows a -7.[/sblock]

Trevor slinks quickly around Coraine, dropping his bow and drawing steel as he does so, headed to sneak attack the big hairy monster. Sadly, the slippery rogue still fails to connect.

[sblock=For Leif]Not that it mattered since you rolled a miss, but I'm not sure who Trevor was trying to attack. Bugbear #1 was already dead.[/sblock]

The warlock lets his crossbow fall and raises his hands in a now familiar arcane gesture as he tosses a Eldritch blast at the new bugbear menace. While the toss isn't especially accurate, the magic finds its way to the target and engulfs the Bugbear in a shower of sparks, and blasting him backward onto the floor.

Coraine, seeing the bugbear fall, make his way to guard the door, ready for what comes. The bugbears in the room rush the knight, and while Coraine's aim is on, his blade is turned by the goblinoid's scale armor. Still, neither bugbear can connect with the knight either.

Kurt weighs his options, he readies himself to apply The Treatment through the powers of the Invincible one, smiting the enemies with a burst of noise. He sees his chance as the bugbears rush Coraine; the cacophony of sound stuns the creatures, leaving them reeling in its wake.

Ragnok pushed through to the doorway, leading with Norryjar. His target, still reeling from Kurt's spell, stumbles, causing the waraxe to miss by a hair's breadth.

[sblock=OOC]Apologies. I was waiting for the bugbear to go before Coraine's actions (plus, I'm still getting used to posting behind the current post by editing older ones.[/sblock]Coraine laughs at the blood spray, a sportly chuckle, and makes his way around the bugbear, even as it tries to strike. With a swing, he attempts to bring it down.[sblock=Actions]B4 is Shield Block target. Move to flank (provoking AoO). Power Attack: AC 19 (forgot flank), 12hp.[/sblock]
