Rhun's Weekend Game - Dwellers of the Forbidden City - IC Thread

[Rhun]

Combat, round 4

Seril fires off another pair of arrows at the bugbear fleeing down the alley, striking him in the shoulder with one of the missiles. The bugbear's withdrawal turns into full flight as he runs away, quickly ducking into a side alleyway and out of your line of sight (the alley is about one hundred feet from where you are all standing - about 150' from the Bison).

The blinded bugbear continues swinging about, but there is nobody near enough for his axe to strike.



Round 3 update above.

[Voidrazor]

"Zed no!" Helios chases after the fleeing bugbear while grabbing his crossbow. Once brought to bear, he fires at the retreating creature's furry back. As an after though he calls to the group, "Try to just knock out the blind one."

 

[Falkus]

Seril pursued the bugbear, running after him and trying to get into a position where he could send more arrows after him. He wouldn't run past the mouth of the side alley, however.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Seeing his companions chasing the fleeing bugbear, Sandor turns towards the blinded one stumbling nearby, and attacks with his longspear.

 

[Shayuri]

Careful to stay out of the blind bugbear's way, Talshia tries to get to the alley to see if she can still cast a spell on the fleeing bugbear. She signals the bison to follow her to the alley, just in case she figures the bison can catch it.

 

[Voidrazor]

Careful to stay out of the blind bugbear's way, Talshia tries to get to the alley to see if she can still cast a spell on the fleeing bugbear.

The bison, meanwhile, starts tearing at the blind bugbear...the last target it can see.

(I'll assume that it never charged after Grazzuk, since there was no mention made of that happening)

It did charge. Round 3 was edited to include actions from the last half of initiative.

 

[Rhun]

Guys, there is still BB5 standing in your midst...the one that killed Zedd. Are you all going to ignore him?

 

[Shayuri]

(lol...sorry, I lost track of what beast was where. I'll have Mr. Bison charge BB5 instead of blindy.)

 

[industrygothica]

Seeing the lone foe standing uncovered, Abel raises his mace and charges the creature shouting words of retribution for killing Zeddicus.

End of Combat

The sudden and fierce combat ends as Talshia's summoned bison slams into the bugbear that slew Zeddicus, slamming the beast into the ground and crushing its ribcage. Abel and Sandor turn their attentions to the blinded creature, and quickly add his body to the others lying amid the rubble-strewn alleyway.

Seril and Helios charge down the alley after the lone, fleeing bugbear, stopping as they come to the opening of the side alley. Unfortunately, the goblinoid is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he ducked into a ruined building, or took refuge behind some of the rubble. There are numerous places to hide in this city, after all.
