Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[tiornys]

OOC: Turn complete

Ah-shahran shakes his head, looking at the pit. I hope the spirits are kind to these old bones, he says to Freggo, before running up and attempting to leap the pit. He gets a good takeoff--for him--and swirls of spiritual energy seem to add extra lift as he soars, giving him just enough clearance to land on the edge of the other side.

As he moves up next to Viator, spotting Velani, he mutters Damnation, that girl's in hurry to meet Dol Arrah in person. Gorm, watch her back! He snaps his fingers and Gorm materializes behind Velani, granting her a measure of comfort and protection.

Turning to Freggo, Ah-shahran calls out, Best hurry, son! Yon lady's bitten off more than she can chew again!

[sblock=Mechanics]Minor: Speak with Spirits to add 4 to Athletics
Move: attempting to jump the pit with a running start, heading to O7
*phew* exact roll!
Standard --> Minor: Call Spirit Companion at I16, granting 4 temp HP to Velani (and blocking the easy flank)
I was going to action point: Direct the Strike for Kyalia to gun down the last minion, but thanks to the corners, I can't reach a square where I can see the darned thing--not even from Viator's square. So I guess I'll live with my 2 minors and a move turn....[/sblock]

Ah-shahran's mumbles turn to grumbles as he leaps the pit, moments later Gorm appears and brings comfort and solace to Velani, while Ah-shahran contemplates a quieter life.

Hobgoblin #2.

Trillum hears Deadeye screaming...

"Block them off! Block them off!"

Instead of rescuing his master he rushes over to pay a visit, and do some harm, to Kali- swinging his Longsword with all his might- alas Kali is too fast and to clever, the attack sails harmlessly wide.

[Goken100]

Freggo starts to direct his allies... who are gone

"Okay, so what we'll want to do is... hmmm let's see... I think if we quietly insert pitons along the wall here, we might be able to sneak up on them... what do you think guys? Guys?"

Freggo is surprised to find that while he was musing over a careful crossing of the second pit, his allies have somehow all decided to get the party started on the other side without him. "Hmmm... I guess that works... charge!"

Freggo backs up, then throws himself over the gap and charges around the corner, bringing his sword to bear on the first enemy he lays eyes on.

Freggo leaps over the pit and charges in to action- Trillum, the last of the Hobgoblin defenders left standing, save for Deadeye himself, looks terrified as the hollering human bursts out and chops him down.

Save for Deadeye and the Drake your enemies have been vanquished, and both the aforementioned are wounded. Clearly Spizz has earned your trust...

The Drake

The frazzled creature rumbles closer, unsure at first which target to aim for, it finally settles upon the closest- the damn dog!

The Drake snaps its jaws shut on Gorm, who nimbly steps aside at the last instant.

The Drake is frustrated...

Kali

Ever one to take revenge Kali sets his 'evil eye' on the Hobgob Boss before moving in, alighting atop the tomb in front of him, to take a swipe in retaliation.

OOC: Minor: Shroud onto Hobgob boss. Move: to H15 Standard: Basic melee using shroud, and if hits, dual attack

Kali then dances away from the fray, but still isn't finished as he goes in for the boss' pet.

OOC: Shift 2 from cunning fox to J16 AP: Melee basic using shroud, if hit, power strike, and then dual attack

OOC: Ooops. Would liked to have moved away againg using cunning fox (to K15), but I guess I might not get that option now.

 

[hairychin]

Kali

OOC: Re-do due to miscalculation of movement across initial diagonal

Kali moves in on the boss' little pet and slices in at the drake with both axes, before dancing out of the way.

OOC: Move to J16 Standard: Same combo of melee basic with shroud and dual attack, but on the drake. Cunning Fox: move back out to I14

Kali is straight at the Drake, dropping another Shroud on the beast en route, up close the wild man is a furious frenzy of blades- the Drake suffers, kali's battleaxe bloodies the beast. His hand axe which follows shortly after wrecks, almost, one side of the creatures body- the Drake is honking and making a hell of a racket- it's started its death throes early.

Kali dances back- out of the way.

Hobgoblin #6- Gathra

The sound of footsteps on the spiral staircase, and shouts from the chamber above, and Gathra appears- a six foot five mountain of muscled flesh- a Hobgoblin. This specimien wears well-maintained Chainmail, a Heavy Shiled in one hand and a wicked looking Flail in the other.

Gathra doesn't hesitate, the Hobgoblin screams its delight-

"For the Hand!"

And charges straight at Kali, the wild man dodges the blow- the Flail slams in to the stone floor, cracking the tiles...

Gathra means business, certainly he's a capable Warrior by the look of him.
