Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[Goonalan]

Gorm leaps over the tomb, snapping at Gathra, whose reflexive blow catches air as Gorm's body puffs apart and reforms atop the tomb. Kali takes advantage of Gathra's distraction to swipe with his axe, strengthened by Gorm's presence.

Now's your chance, son, says Ah-shahran to Freggo from his new position by the near tomb. Divide and conquer. Get in there and stop those two from ganging up on anyone!

Ah-shahran maneuvers, and then Gorm fades in to kali- who swings wildly, frustration beginning to show, Gathra looks formidable before him- a solid chunk of Hobgoblin Warrior.

Gorm reappears in the same instant, renewing the wild man's energy...

There follows the clatter of hobnailed boots upon stone- a stream of Hobgoblins, all dressed in thick leather armour- wielding light shields, with longswords already drawn- they spill down the spiral staircase and in to the fray...

[Goonalan]

Hobgoblin #7

The Hobgoblin Djed clatters down the stairs and takes in the situation, sees his leader in action and charges in to the fray to join him, slicing at Kali with his longsword, at the very last moment Kali turns his hand axe and catches the creatures blow- knocks it aside...

And yet another Hobgoblin follows down the stairs.

[Goken100]

Freggo tries to get simself surrounded

Freggo nods at Ah-shahran, "Right, get in there, got it!"

Then he watches as his not-being-too-many-more theory is disproven by the ceaseless march of hobgoblins. Well, nothing better for a group of villains than jumping into the middle of them and whirling around dramatically! At least, that seems like the sort of thing the hero would do... good thing I've got this new armor, the old stuff was full of holes...

Once again Freggo applies his well-worn magic trick to mesmerize his opponents and slip in to just where he wants to be, delivering a precise slash to the nearest one. When Freggo has the attention of all of the rather confused hobgoblins on all sides, Freggo calls out to their leader. "Deadeye, behold a hero in your midst!" His sword explodes with light, and he rips it around him in a wide arc, blasting into the fiendish creatures and leaving a nimbus of magic on any that fail to deflect the blow.

[sblock=Mechanics]
Move Action: Move to H:11
Standard Action: Luring Strike vs. Hob#7, First Shifting to G:12, then HIT and shift to G:13, drawing Hob#7 to G:12
Minor: Aegis of Ensnarement vs. Deadeye
Action Point: Sword of Sigils in burst 1 - Each target hit is also marked until the end of my next turn. In addition to the normal -2 for attacks not including Freggo, targets marked in this way take 4 force damage when the not-including-Freggo attack is resolved.
Free Action: Tempted to use Heroic Effort to gain +4 to the attack against Hob#6. Depends... how well armored are these hobgoblins? Are they locking their shields together? If he doesn't seem too well defended, Freggo will go for it.
[/sblock]

OOC: By the way, marked enemies are not subject to a defender's aura. This is quite a nice synergy with our two defenders, I think.

Freggo is like a threshing machine, actually a threshing machine crossed with some sort of classical dancing master- it is amazing to see, perhaps for the first time properly, the Swordmage at work.

Djed, the grunting Hobgoblin is stabbed and used as a pivot, Freggo spinning in to a space in the midst of the much larger brutal Goblins, continuing to pivot the young lads sword lances out at opportune moments, and save Gathra, the wily old pro Hobgoblin, all that he aims for he kills.

Freggo is glorious.

The three fresh-faced Hobgoblins that came tripping down th stairs lie dead already...

GM: Note couldn't use Aegis of Ensnarement on Deadeye as he was 3 away and Aegis is Close Burst 2- please advise.

OOC: Woops, I guess he'll just us that on anyone in range. Note that I wasn't quite done in the post above.... will probably use Heroic Effort to take down the last enemy if no heavy armor and/or locked shields are in evidence (IE if 20 is likely to hit). In that case, I guess there wouldn't be anyone left in range to mark... oh well.

 

[hairychin]

Kali

Kali sends a nod of respect towards Freggo "Fancy footwork my young friend. Very fancy."

"Don't you agree?" he asks the chunky Gathra before side stepping to flank his useful looking opponent. Though he doesn't wait for a response, instead leading in with his battleaxe.

OOC: Move: shift to I13 Standard: Melee basic, if hits: add power strike and dual attack

OOC: Attack should have another +2 for flanking, so is 24

OOC: Not even flanking can save the second attack

Kali's second axe goes well wide, an amateurish mistake, Kali, normally one to step away at this point instead sidesteps back to where he started, allowing an oppurtunity for he and Freggo to flank at a later stage.

OOC: Cunning fox: shift back to I14

GM: Not sure you're on the right page, the only Hobgoblins left are not going to be bothered by 6 HP damage- you took out all the Minions. There seem to be two combatants left for the bad guys- Gathra and Deadeye, both look to be experts in their field. I'll leave the Aegis for now- we're moving faster than that.

Kali side-steps, slices and leaves a horrendous gash down the right hand side of Gathra's face and chest- the Hobgoblin grunts its fury but seems unperturbed at this point.

Gathra mutters- "You die..." in its foul tongue, but then concentrates its efforts on Velani.
