(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[Vendetta]

"Me says we kilt 'em all! Go off onna each squad one by one!" The dwarf growls with an eerie grin on his face.

"We should just sneak past all of this and get to Enberton..." The halfling begins.

"YE COWARD!" The dwarf roars... too loudly.

All eyes turn to the kobold captain, including Krueger who realizes too late his mistake. The kobold captain turns your direction and draws his sword, eyes wide and looking frantically for an attacker. There is an awkward moment when it is obvious that the captain cannot see you. He calls out and Jaeden translates that he's calling his squads back. At this, the dwarf pulls his axe and charges out toward the Kobold.

"BY THA BEARD O' OBERON, PREPARE TA FACE YER WENCH GOD! YE AGAINST ME, DRIP, ALONE HERE AN' NOW!" He shouts. The much smaller kobold has a moment of fearful recognition but sets himself for the charge.

Ah, the joys of having NPCs running with your party.

From your vantage point at this moment, you cannot see the "field of battle" very well. There are several trees and many shrubs between you and the Kobold captain to get a good lay of the land. You can tell there is a decent amount of space though, some kind of small clearing, to have fit so many kobolds. (Even if they are so small) You are not sure how bit the clearing is but a safe bet is that it is at least 30 feet by 40 feet wide, probably bigger. There are plenty of trees further up where ranged attackers can hide and fire from a distance and you are about 50 feet away through bad terrain. The dwarf will not get to the Kobold captain this round. How far away the kobold squads are is unknown to you. at the outset of the captain's call, you do not hear any return call from the kobolds and you've not yet seen any returning... but that's just been a couple seconds of time that has passed.

Please post your actions for the next six seconds (a combat round, regardless of whether you go into combat)

Sonrik Velrys, Human Paladin 1

"Krueger, NO!!!", yells Sonrik as the dwarf tears off into towards the kobolds. Drawing his sword, the young man turns to his companions and says, "We've got to help him. Cover me!" Sonrik charges in after the dwarf, shield held high in front of him.

 

[Ashy]

OOC: Any chance we can get a map?

 

[hafrogman]

Liam Wester, human warlock

Liam curses under his breath as the dwarf yells and runs off after the kobold. His eyes quickly scan the area even as he starts moving. His long strides carry him toward the kobold, but keep him hidden in the trees.

[ooc - move and fire. Move towards the clearing 30'. I'm not sure where the trees 'further up' are, but if they're in a direction that will get him a clearer shot at the clearing, he'll move towards them. +2 touch attack Eldritch Blast, 1d6 damage, 60' range, precise shot just in case anyone reaches melee range.]

 

[Knight Otu]

"We were supposed to get help with the kobold situation, not solve it by ourselves." Sel'Tarien mutters as he draws his bow. He'll take a shot at the kobold (if possible, moving to a good spot first, but not at the expense of making his attack).

"Stay as close to each other as possible - we have to be ready to retreat quickly!"

 

[Tor L'Tha]

Rak

S**t!

Rak loads his crossbow and will try to shoot the captain if close enough.
If not he will stay close to Sel'Tarien ready to fire and seeking a place to get a good angel to the captain.
If he has the opportunity he will silently hide.



ooc:

crossbow light 1d8 19-20 /x2 80 ft= 35 gp

point blank shot: +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons

Spot (wis +2)+1[race] +1[rank]=4
Hide (dex +1) = 1
Move Silently (dex +1) =1

 

[Korbin of Valenar]

Korbin, Human Fighter 1

"Damn the dwarf!" curses Korbin. He immediately follows Sonrik, drawing his twin swords. He yells back to the others "Cover us from the trees on the high ground!"

 

[Knight Otu]

Sel'Tarien, Elf Swashbuckler 1

The elf, the dwarf... Someone should tell Korbin that we do have names...

 

[Ashy]

Ala, female elven cleric of Thorus Odara

'Fool dwarf', Ala thinks to herself, drawing her longsword and bracing her shield. With a silent prayer and without a word, she rushes into battle alongside him...

OOC: double move, if it brings me into melee range. If not, full move to catch up with the dwarf.

 

[Vendetta]

Krueger races toward the kobold captain, shouting various obscenities at him in the dwarven tongue. His companions give chase after the wayward dwarf. Sel’Tarien quickly stops at a nearby tree, nochs and arrow to his shortbow and fires. The shot is true, hitting the Captain in the shoulder.

Korbin, Sonrik and Ala rush after Krueger, their longer legs easily covering the distance of the stubby legged war machine. He’Rak follows close behind, as does Jaeden. But Rak halts by a moderate sized tree where he begins to load his crossbow. Gemble runs up behind Rak and hides there, just behind Rak’s leg.

Liam veers off from the rest of the group and takes cover behind pine tree. He takes several deep breaths as he builds up his mighty eldritch energy, preparing himself for an attack.

Wincing in pain, the Kobold grabs his shoulder. When he looks up, he sees the onrush of Krueger, Ala, Sonrik, and Korbin and his eyes go wide with fear. He cries out again in his beeping, squeaking language. None of you need Jaeden to translate the meaning of the cry.
