Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (ToEE) - Part II - CLOSED!

[Legildur]

Kurt steps behind Coraine and heals the paladin. "Pull back against the wall!" he calls to the others, worried that they will be surrounded.
ooc: Yeah, still, here, was just waiting to see how things panned out before posting. 5ft step to I22 and spontaneously casts Cure Light Wounds on Coraine to heal 1d8+4 hps.

 

[Rhun]

COMBAT - ROUND 2

Trevor slashes at one of the guards, but his blade misses his mark. Realizing that holding the corridor has become Untenable, he steps back toward his companions.

The commander cries out to his men. "Surround them. Cut them down!" He moves to engage Ragnok, and finds a chink in the dwarf's plate armor, scoring a bloody wound on his flesh. "Surrender, intruders, and I will see that your deaths are swift!"

Steel on steel rings out, echoing within the large stone chamber as the Temple guards attempt to surround you. Dara, Trevor and Coraine all dodge and parry skillfully; Coraine finds himself in a bad position, flanked by a pair of the guards, and a moment later one of their blades opens a wound along his arm. Trevor too finds himself surrounded, and suffers another wound as he fights for his life against one too many foes.

"By the blade of Heironious -- you will NOT prevail!" shouts the paladin before his blade slashes out in a wicked arc at the wounded guard before him, taking the man down. He shouts to Ragnok -- "Stand shoulder to shoulder with me once more, my friend, and let us put down these fools for their corrupt lives and bereft souls!"

Not likly the way this battle is shaping up, Verdis falls back, climbing straight up the wall, before tossing an Eldrich Blast at a guard. The man is staggered and burnt by the blast, but remains on his feet.

Another guard circles around Trevor to strike at Dara, but her mystic protections keep his blade from finding flesh.

Seeing how Trevor will need some help soon enough, Dara tries to remain calm and focus on cutting herself through to him with powerful swings of her falchion, while keeping a defensive stance to hold out longer against these overwhelming odds. The guard before her skillfully avoids her swings, smiling all the while.

With a critical eye, Kurt laments thir current tactical positioning, but nonetheless lends his sword to the battle. He scores a hit upon his target, opening a wound across the guards shoulder.

Guards surge around Ragnok, attacking the dwarf. One seems much more skilled than the others, and his longsword slices another wound across the dour dwarf's body. Despite his wounds, Ragnok manages to slash one of the guards with his axe before stepping back to form up with Coraine.

The last of the guards sheaths his blade and unlimbers the crossbow on his back, his eyes locked on the wall-climbing Verdis.

[s@squ@tch]

Coraine

"By the blade of Heironious -- you will NOT prevail!" shouts the paladin before his blade slashes out in a wicked arc at the wounded guard before him.

He shouts to Ragnok -- "Stand shoulder to shoulder with me once more, my friend, and let us put down these fools for their corrupt lives and bereft souls!"

OOC: Power attack guard "C" for 2 pts -- +7 to hit +1 Longsword, 1d8+6 dmg

 

[Legildur]

ooc: Kurt dropped Comprehend Languages in order to spontaneously cast Cure Light Wounds on Coraine. I'll wait until Kurt's initiative to decide on action, but if you want an action, he will most likely either help fill the line with his sword and shield, or will take on any of the guards that attempt to flank them. Hopefully Trevor and Verdis will pull back.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Rhun, please npc Trevor for the moment. I'm having transient computer difficulties. Computer is working now, but I'm totally confused about what's going on.

 

[Thanee]

Dara

Seeing how Trevor will need some help soon enough, Dara tries to remain calm and focus on cutting herself through to him with powerful swings of her falchion, while keeping a defensive stance to hold out longer against these overwhelming odds.


OOC: Combat Expertise +2; Power Attack +2; Draw Falchion; Atk +1 Dmg 2d4+7 Crit 18+ vs. Guard "2"; if he falls, 5-ft. step into that guard's square. If Verdis has dropped "2" already, 5-ft. step there and attack "4" instead.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Not likly the way this battle is shaping up. Verdis falls back to G24 and then moves 10' up the wall before tossing an Eldrich Blast (1d20+9=16) at a guard (4).

OOC:damage (2d6+1=7)

 

[Rhun]

I'll wait until Kurt's initiative to decide on action, but if you want an action, he will most likely either help fill the line with his sword and shield, or will take on any of the guards that attempt to flank them. Hopefully Trevor and Verdis will pull back.

Leg, you're up!

 

[Legildur]

With a critical eye, Kurt laments thir current tactical positioning, but nonetheless lends his sword to the battle.
ooc: attacks guard a. Longsword +8 for 1d8+3.

COMBAT - ROUND 3

Trevor realizes that he is in a horrible position, wounded and surrounded on all sides. Still, if he and Dara could cut down some of their foes, that might help things out quite a bit. Spinning back and forth warding off attacks, the soldier plunges his blade deep into the chest of one of the guards, instantly dropping the poor soul to the floor.

The commander pursues Ragnok, and again manages to draw the dwarf's blood. The melee continues to swirtl around the party, with Trevor taking another wound, and even Kurt coming under attack from the guard he had wounded.

Coraine continues pressing the wounded guardsman before him, knowing well the benefit of reducing the enemy's numbers as quickly as possible. The guard cries our in pain as the the paladin's blade tears through his chainmail, and a moment later is crumples to the ground.

Verdis is less worried about the crossbow being aimed at him, and more worried about Trevor's situation. The warlock tosses another eldritch blast, injuring another guard, but not taking him out of the fight.

Dara moves to aid Trevor, but between staying on the defensive and her slow, savage strikes, her foes seem to be able to avoid her attacks.

Kurt grimaces as his studied eye watches the battle around them, cursing Trevor's isolation. "Dara! Pull back!" he calls as he attacks the guard sandwhiched between he and Dara. The man is caught off guard by Dara's movement, and his distraction costs him his life as the cleric of the Shining One plunges his blade through the man's spine.

Ragnok growls savagely. "Taste dwarven steel!" he cries, swinging his axe. This time Norryjar strikes true, opening a gash across the commander's thigh.

The guard with the crossbow fires, but Verdis scrambles out of the way just in time and the bolt clatters off the stone wall of the chamber.
