Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[Goonalan]

Sinruth

"Typical... Bloody typical!"

Sinruth remarks as he fails to make his chain-weapon obey his commands- his heart's not in it.

The Goblin loops his chain around and attempts to swipe at Velani's legs, to bring her down... a hit, the disheartened and dazed Goblin mutters to himself, and then grins slightly. Velani meanwhile thumps hard on to the ground- bloodied (again) and battered.

A crumb of comfort for the Goblin- violence seems to set Sinruth at ease...

He swings again at the downed Paladin- perhaps killing her will lift his mood.

"MAGLUBIYET'S BLESSED TROUSERS!"

Sinruth hollers as the ex-Fallcrest Guard shimmies and evades his attack.

GM: Should have been +8 to hit instead of +10.

"Not fair..."

He adds, and sulks a little.

[Thanee]

Kyalia

Having no other targets, Kyalia now points her bow towards the mighty (or not so mighty) Sinruth. As so often, she fires two arrows at the goblin with the oversized hat.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Hunter's Quarry, then Twin Strike.[/SBLOCK]

 

[tiornys]

OOC: [MENTION=16069]Goonalan[/MENTION] you have Sinruth listed as being under Freggo's Aegis of Ensnarement, but attacking Velani. If that's right, then he was at an additional -2 to hit from the mark, and thus missed both attacks. I need to know whether that's right before healing--or not--on my turn.

 

[Thanee]

OOC: First attack is against Reflex.

 

[Goonalan]

OOC: [MENTION=16069]Goonalan[/MENTION] you have Sinruth listed as being under Freggo's Aegis of Ensnarement, but attacking Velani. If that's right, then he was at an additional -2 to hit from the mark, and thus missed both attacks. I need to know whether that's right before healing--or not--on my turn.

GM: I took the Aegis in to consideration for both attacks- he hit with the first, remember he has +2 as well, so overall both attacks +2 then -4 = -2 overall, result stands.

 

[tiornys]

OOC: Indeed, and I missed that the first attack was vs. Reflex anyway. But in that case, Freggo has the ability to reposition Sinruth as an immediate reaction, which I'd have expected you to mention, especially since that ability could have pulled Sinruth away from Velani before his second attack. For simplicities sake, I'll go with the current map positioning.

Ah-shahran another wave of healing energy to Velani even as Gorm flickers beside her, allowing her to lash out at Sinruth and giving her a minor shield against further attacks. As he watches Sinruth's antics, Ah-shahran cackles, I think he's even crazier than I am!

GM: Yep missed the Aegis of Ensnarement, but here's the thing, and I'm not saying this to be rude or churlish... I don't know all the rules, and I miss stuff- all the time. I'm actually surprised how few retcons (is that the right word) there have been. In my real game I have a Simon, I compared Simon to you (tiornys) on Thursday night at the end of our game. He came here and read some of your stuff I believe, and had a giggle- again no offence, this is a compliment. Simon knows all the rules, and I mean all of them- even the stuff that contradicts some of the other stuff. He's fantastic, and without him our Thursday night game would certainly be much less fun. And god bless you the same goes for you here... That said when you wrote 'which I'd have expected you to mention', well... that made me laugh- I figure the rules are the perview of all of us- I'm going to miss stuff, and I'm going to not know stuff. Blimey I had to look up Dazed- I couldn't remember what it was. The chances of me remembering that Aegis of Ensnarement... etc. Now I don't think this makes me a bad DM, it just demonstrates my general ignorance, which while I try to limit is in fact a sprawling thing. So- sorry I didn't mention the Aegis thing, however I am unbelievably flattered that I have managed to convince you thus far that I know what I am doing- rules-wise. I take that as a compliment. Lastly- thanks again for spotting it, next time my friend I will be ready. You sir, are a rules-machine, and I for one salute your prowess.

Ah-shahran is his mumbling genius self- Velani suddenly feels invigorated, to celebrate the fact she lashes out and creates a brand new streak of red blood across Sinruth's brow. Just below the brim of his monstrous helmet- the Goblin looks a little put out and touches the spot...

Gorm blinks in and out while this is happening, and again Velani is fortified.

Having no other targets, Kyalia now points her bow towards the mighty (or not so mighty) Sinruth. As so often, she fires two arrows at the goblin with the oversized hat.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Hunter's Quarry, then Twin Strike.[/SBLOCK]

And then Sinruth sprouts two arrows- both fired with such force that they slam through the breast plate of his armour. The Goblin looks down at his two new appendages, smirks a little, and then snaps them off.

"Do that again, and you're in trouble!"

He warns.

"Right, where were we."

But for now he goes back to twirling his chain- getting enough momentum for his next big hit...

Next up Freggo and Velani, then Viator and Kali.

 

[larryfinnjr]

Freggo

With a snap of his fingers, Freggo's blade catches fire with an eerie green flicker. "Sinruth, we gave you a chance to realize the folly of resistance. What a shame you now have to live, er, well die I suppose with your choice." Lashing out with his blade, Freggo takes advantage of Velani's efforts to keep Sinruth hemmed in.

OOC: Standard: Greenflame Blade w/ CA

 

[larryfinnjr]

Velani

Looking more like Freggo and Velani are sparring due to Sinruth's diminished stature, Velani returns the swing from directly opposite her. Afterward, she skirts around Sinruth to be closer to Freggo and take advantage of her newfound guardian capabilities.

OOC: Standard: Valiant Strike w/ CA Move: shift to F9 Prepared immediate interrupt: Guardian's Counter - if Sinruth make attack against Freggo that does not include Velani, Freggo and Velani swap positions, Velani becomes target of attack, and Velani follows up w/ MBA (pre-rolled if it is needed)
