Velani and Freggo

"Freggo! Let's bring the beast to us."

Preparing herself for the beast's inevitable move, Velani readies herself and motions Freggo into position.

OOC:
Velalni
Minor: Defender's Aura
Standard: readied action - when drake comes into melee range after Freggo's attack, Valiant Strike
Free: Heroic Effort if needed to hit

Freggo
Move: F9
Standard: readied action - when drake (hopefully! likely?) comes into melee range, Luring Strike, utilizing the before and after shifts as needed to get the drake into flank w/ Velani
Free: Heroic Effort if needed to hit

Since it's unlikely even a 16 w/ Heroic Effort will hit (or even 17 w/ Brawling Warrior), the whole thing likely goes to pot (darn!) (although this whole thing is based on an assumption the drake would come after the closest target - Freggo).

Next up the Drake.
 

Drake #1- there's a clue.

The Drake looks confused for a moment, and then spots the pair of lunks that have invaded its lair... it swallows, gargles briefly and then-

<HAKKKKPHUTT>

Spits a dull green globule of gunk at Freggo... the ball of phlegm splats on to the stone floor by Freggo's side- and begins to eat away at the patina of dirt on the stone flags.

Close call.

The Drake stays exactly where it is... the other Drake however...

Drake #2

The second Drake slinks out of the chamber to the south west, settles itself, and follows suit- another green globule arcs out aimed for Velani this time...

The icky missile hits- and burns... the pain!

Velani's armour is scarred and pitted- the acid burns through her undergarments and to the skin... Velani does all she can not to scream, the acid burn however takes her breath away.

From the chamber from which the Drake just emerged, a scream- then a cry; "Help M-". Cut Off!

A womans voice, a young woman- terrified, and yet presented with a sliver of hope...

Hearing the cries, Viator slides past his nearest companions and stays close to the wall. He sizes his target up and concentrates.

His concern for the person calling from the other room disrupts his thoughts and his power fails him, unable to teleport the drake closer to his team mates.

His eyes narrow.

Kali! There's someone in that room!

Viator moves in to the chamber- focuses on the Drake blocking the doorway to the south. Alas his power fizzles and fades before it has chance to take hold... the creature is unharmed.

Kali into action

Kali's head snaps up and he rapidly looks from one drake to the other. On it! he says to Viator as he raises his bow and fires an arrow at the drake he has marked for death. Discarding his bow as he slips into the room, he pulls out his axes and lets out a battle cry as he charges the other drake. As he puts extra bite behind his first strike, he slips around the creature, peering into the room beyond as he lashes out with his offhand.

[sblock=mechanics]Free: Assassin's Shroud on drake#1
Standard: RBA on drake#1, invoking shrouds
Free: drop bow
Free: shift to I:12 with AotCF
Minor: draw battleaxe
Move-->minor: draw handaxe
Action Point: charge to L:6 attacking drake #2 (18 damage after reroll)
No Action: Power Attack added to that hit
Free: shift to L:4 with AotCF
Free: Dual Weapon Attack on drake#2

I have another 2 square shift after Dual Weapon Attack. Where I go depends on what I see in the room--if just the girl and a hobgoblin, I'll try to get closer to the girl/threatening the hobgoblin. If a couple of hobgoblins, I'll hold position. If numerous hobgoblins, I'll hold position unless some/all have obvious ranged weapons (more drakes?), in which case I'll retreat to J:4[/sblock]

Kali is all action- his bow shot staggers the first Drake, the wound tears open and is engulfed, momentarily, in darkness- his assassin's shrouds rip through the beast.

Next up the Shifter flings up his bow aside- graps out his axes and charges the first Drake- slicing and cutting the beast as he circles it to reveal the room beyond.

The Drake is left bloodied and battered, and in the room- a single Hobgoblin menacing a stunningly beautiful woman wearing ripped and bloodied this azure robes- Jelissa...

Kali moves closer to her... screaming at the Hobgoblin- "Face me!"

At that moment the western set of doors slam open with such force that one of them is left barely hanging on by one hinge- standing in the doorway is Sinruth...

Sinruth

The huge Goblin, it's head scraping against the dirty ceiling, clad in shimmering plate and dragging a great chain behind it lumbers forward.

And speaks with a voice like thunder, peppered with lightning...

"I am Sinruth... Lord of this Domain, General of the Red Hand, the Destroyer, the Great, the Magnificent, the Terrible..."

The last words send a shiver up the adventurer's collective spines- they gasp in awe and shock.

"Kneel before me puny manlings or else feel my WRATH!"

The huge Goblin yanks at the chain, which flies in to the air- he swirls the monstrous weapon above it's head...

"KNEEL OR DIE!"
