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

[Legildur]

Kurt groans as Ragnok goes down, but he is loathed to use his special abilities just yet. Instead, he applies the wand of CLW to Coraine.
ooc: Rhun, why on earth wouldn't Ragnok have attacked the leader? He was already severely wounded, and obviously causing grief for Ragnok?

OOC: Is That A Light Up Ahead?? (at the end of the tunnel)

Trevor says, "Be of good courage, Comrades! We're halfway there!"

 

[Rhun]

I'll get an IC post up today...just been a little busy the last couple of days, and combat posts always take the most time.

COMBAT - ROUND 8

"Don't you even think of running away from this fight! I'll let you know when I'm finished with you!" Having said this, Trev again attacks, but only succeeds in a chunk of wood from the guard's heavy shield.

As combat continues, Coraine wards off another sword blow on his shield, and Kurt takes suffers another glancing blow which leads his bleeding from yet another gash. Trevor too takes another wound, and staggers on his feet, ready to fall to the ground.

The scene around the young paladin still moved in slow motion. His blade's momentum on the killing stroke sent him almost doubling over, and he quickly tried to regain his balance and bring the tip of his blade up and off of the stone floor. Blood dripped from the length of the blade, and Coraine said a quick prayer to his Lord for his aid in his darkest hour. Still resolved to the fact that he was to meet up with his Lord sooner, rather than later, Coraine turned to face the guard that had been skewering him all along. Calling once more upon the might of Heironious, he lunges forwards once again, and plunges his sword into the man's side. The guard gasps and groans, but maintains his footing.

Seeing Trevor's need, and quite safe now in his position high up the wall of the chamber, Verdis sends a bolt of mystic energy lancing into one of the guards. The man cries out in pain and slams up against the wall, and then bounces off and crashes to the floor.

Seeing the battle turn around and the cultists slowly drop one after the other, one even by her own blade, despite all her efforts to make it difficult for her own attacks, Dara continues on her course. With her companions heavily wounded (at best), she couldn't dare to let her defenses go down yet and sink into the battle frenzy that surely would make short work of these foes, but also put herself at risk. The guard facing her avoids the latest series of her blows, and though his own counterattack comes close to drawing blood, Dara parries the strike at the last moment.

Kurt, buoyed by their recent success, and confident that Heironeous and his own shield will protect him, the cleric continues to support Coraine. While still wounded, the paladin feels considerably better than he had only moments before.

The warrior engaged with Kurt, now wounded by the paladin's heavy smite, steps back from combat, and then flees through the opening in the stone wall, hanging a right and moving south.



Round 7 complete above.

OOC: I really hope they get enough money for their new server, because all this slowness is killing me...

Coraine

The scene around the young paladin still moved in slow motion.

His blade's momentum on the killing stroke sent him almost doubling over, and he quickly tried to regain his balance and bring the tip of his blade up and off of the stone floor.

Blood dripped from the length of the blade, and Coraine said a quick prayer to his Lord for his aid in his darkest hour.

Still resolved to the fact that he was to meet up with his Lord sooner, rather than later, Coraine turned to face the guard that had been skewering him all along.

Calling once more upon the might of Heironious, he attempted to parry the guards blade with his shield, as he lunged forwards once again.

OOC: Smite Evil on Guard F (last time today), +12 to hit, 1d8+8 damage

 

[Thanee]

Dara

Seeing the battle turn around and the cultists slowly drop one after the other, one even by her own blade, despite all her efforts to make it difficult for her own attacks, Dara continues on her course. With her companions heavily wounded (at best), she couldn't dare to let her defenses go down yet and sink into the battle frenzy that surely would make short work of these foes, but also put herself at risk.


OOC: Dara 5-ft. steps to G19 and attacks Guard 8 (if he doesn't move away from G18 first) or Guard 3 otherwise (as before: PA2; CE2).

 

[Legildur]

Kurt, buoyed by their recent success, and confident that Heironeous and his own shield will protect him, the cleric continues to support Coraine.
ooc: uses Wand of Cure Light Wounds on Coraine.

COMBAT - ROUND 9

"Hold still you scurrilous knave!" Trevor spins into another attack routine, and is rewarded with a gush of bright blood as his blade tears into the guard's chest and drops him to the ground.

There leader having fled, and most of their companions having fallen, the moral of the guards finally begins to break down. Another flees to the north, but as he does his nearby companion manages to drive his blade through Kurt's armor, opening another gash in the cleric's bloody body.

His mind still moving in slow motion, the young paladin throws his shield to the ground and grasps two hands around the hilt of his blade. Here is where he would make his stand, and with the Shining One's blessing, he will bring these villians low. Stepping to face the unwounded guard engaged with Kurt, Coraine raises the sword high into the air and brings it down with all his might upon his foe. The blade tears deeply into the man's chest, cutting flesh and ribs, and sending the man sprawling into a pool of his own blood.

Grinning in spite of himself as the fight turns in favor of his companions, Verdis tosses another Eldritch at the nearest foe. As it misses he curses. Maybe the odd angle of blasting from overhead is screwing up my aim?

As the first guard flees the room, and the one close to her seems to be willing to follow suit, Dara runs past him hoping for her magical shield to protect her enough for the moment she has to let her guard slip and heads out of the room the same way as the first fleeing guard.

[sblock=Fpr Thanee]
Dara runs right up on the man, who is busy running his hand along what looks to the warrior woman as a solid stone wall.

Hearing Dara rush up on his back, and realizing he can't escape, the man turns to face her, and in his anger manages to break her defenses, cutting a wound across her stomach.

Kurt chides himself for a minor tactical error and promises to learn the lesson should he survive his current predicament. But he knows their survival depends on the wand in his possession and it's timely application. Stepping south and using his wand on Ragnok, he sees the dwarf's worst wounds begin to mend, and his breathing becomes more regular. He remains unconscious, however.

The last remaining guard runs off to the north as well, having seen Dara move to the east.
