Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[Goonalan]

Hobgoblin #6- Gathra.

The bulky Hobgoblin shuffles in to place, flanking Velani with his trusted comrade in arms Deadeye- he brings his great Flail up and over to crunch in to the Cavalier, leaving Velani some what addled.

GM: Slowed & Marked by Gathra.

Viator's eyes widen at the amazing display of skill from the swordmage.

With that, he moves to give himself a wider view of the action and reaches inside to shape his power around his allies.

The air charges around Kali and Velani and they watch as the large hobgoblin's body warps and twists. The static builds around him and discharges.

Viator feels his intrinsic fey abilities return to him. The training worked well.

Spizz looks at Viator, unsure as to what he's going to do to help, he's certainly not going to get involved with the fight... that's Gathra and Deadeye in there.

Spizz so wants to get this right.

Slowly at first Spizz claps his hands together, the noise mostly lost in the sounds and screams of battle.

Spizz speeds up his effort, takes to dancing from foot to foot, then to spinning on the spot- still clapping up a storm, there follows some feral animal like noises, in the midst of which Viator recognises the following phrases-

"Come on Magic-Head."

"Zap them with your googly-eyes"

Alas it gets no better than this.

GM: DMs note, the moment Spizz gets in to combat properly- your XP gets divided by 7, if you want that to happen then that's okay- however so far Spizz is impressed, he's a long way off the point where he throws himself in front of a charging Bulette to save you, a long, long way...

Viator moves in, Spizz follows- still doing... whatever it is he's doing.

Maybe it's Spizz's help but... whatever it is Gathra clutches at his head- blood pours from the Hobgoblin's ears and nose, he looks- bloodied.

Kyalia's arrow strikes just below Gathra's right ear, the Hobgoblin stops what it's doing instantly, turns around, the arrow head is sticking out the other side.

Gathra collapses straight forward, dead before he hits the floor.

Deadeye

Runs! Although his skin burns as he attempts to get away from Velani, who also lashes out, but almost spills her blade, Deadeye is off and running.

GM: Should I have taken the Radiant damage? It says Shift or attack that does not include you- so I guess not.

Deadeye leaps on top of one of the tombs en route and flings himself at the pair of metal doors to the south, which reverberate as he crashes in to them.

GM: Easy Athletics Check to burst through the doors (as a Minor Action).

He slams through the door and disappears in to a poorly lit chamber...

Deadeye is yelling furiously as he barrels down the corridor, strange- it sounds like... "Derek!"

Good luck with that.

 

[larryfinnjr]

Velani

"Oh no he di'in't..."

Sprinting to catch up to him, Velani takes chase and makes it to the doors. Hearing his yell and seeing he's about to run around the corner, she shouts out to him, "What makes you think anyone else can help you? All of your allies lie bleeding about. Run, and face the same fate! STAND DOWN!"

OOC: Move: Run to N14 on map 83 Standard: Intimidate check (attempting to force a bloodied monster to surrender)

OOC: No radiant dmg - you got it right... except for the lousy '1' you rolled for my OA!

 

[tiornys]

OOC: It's choose your own adventure time with Ah-shahran!

Ah-shahran moves a few feet down the hallway as Gorm transmutes into an streak of spiritual energy that empowers Kyalia to launch an arrow at the fleeing Hobgoblin.

[sblock=If Kyalia's RBA drops Deadeye]As Deadeye collapses with an arrow through the back of his skull, Gorm materializes in front of Ah-shahran in a guard position. Looking back at the others, Ah-shahran quietly asks, Anyone want to check if he managed to draw more of the infestation?[/sblock]

[sblock=If Deadeye is still standing]As Deadeye stumbles from the force of Kyalia's arrow, Ah-shahran raises his hands, manifesting two shadowy copies of Gorm that lunge forward and sink their teeth into their faltering prey before combining into Gorm's normal, semi-solid appearance.
[sblock=If he's STILL standing]As Gorm moves to block off Deadeye's escape, Ah-shahran calls out, Kali, get down there and cut him off![/sblock]

[Thanee]

OOC: Nice rolls! I'm reasonably sure, that the arrow should drop him.

 

[Goonalan]

Velani

"Oh no he di'in't..."

Sprinting to catch up to him, Velani takes chase and makes it to the doors. Hearing his yell and seeing he's about to run around the corner, she shouts out to him, "What makes you think anyone else can help you? All of your allies lie bleeding about. Run, and face the same fate! STAND DOWN!"

OOC: Move: Run to N14 on map 83 Standard: Intimidate check (attempting to force a bloodied monster to surrender)

OOC: No radiant dmg - you got it right... except for the lousy '1' you rolled for my OA!

GM: Without the Radiant damage Deadeye in not bloodied, but hey ho... let's play it out.

Deadeye skids to a halt- peers ahead (to the east) and then turns to Velani. The Hobgoblin drops his Longsword, then his shield- his bow he left behind in the previous chamber.

"Derrekk!" Deadeye hisses again to the east, a half-hearted whisper.

At this point Deadeye has spotted Ah-shahran and particularly Kyalia peering around the corner with her bow locked on him...

"DErrrEK!" Deadeye tries again, now no longer whispering- and more frantic than ever.

There's no reply, although Kyalia starts to pick up a few sounds- squeaking and scurrying, the sounds of vermin at work and at play.

Deadeye peers once more to the east and then slowly shuffles back down the corridor towards you...

He doesn't get far.

"Stop!" A voice from the east, a reedy child-like voice, not threatening at all- and yet...

Deadeye looks east again- peers, a few rats have gathered around the Hobgoblins feet, he kicks them away.

"Derek?" Deadeye tries again- like it's his mantra.

"What do you want?" Comes the reedy reply.

"There's..." Deadeye begins.

"Not you- you want to survive, I understand that. You at the door way- what do you want in this place?" The reedy-voiced one asks.

In the silence Kyalia picks out another voice, a faint human voice that is full of despair and fear, a whisper, but in the silence a shout.

"Help me... please, hel..." The rest is cut off.

A woman's voice, the voice of a prisoner.

Ahead of Kyalia is a dank and dirty corridor, more so than the others she has traversed in this place, it's clearly less visited, and it smells- of sweat and fear... and rot.

It reminds Kyalia, like so much of this place of a crypt, the corridor turns east- opens out at the end, there's a dull furze of light in that direction- not much light, but enough to see by, a shadowy place.

GM: We seem to have bumped in to a place between encounters, technically with the surrender of Deadeye the encounter is over, however Deadeye- and now you, have just strayed in to another encounter. I've moved you all on to a new map- just for convenience, you all start this encounter outside of the chamber (-A2 & -A3). You cannot take a Short Rest- that requires five minutes, therefore no healing or recovery of Encounter powers etc. However you can have a chat here, which if you spin it out will enable you to take a Short Rest, and therefore recover powers etc. You can instead jump straight in to it of course- but what, in this instance, is it? You're not quite sure. You can complete your turn- Ah-shahran if you wish (with the Radiant damage removed from Deadeye then be reassured that Kyalia's arrow is not enough to drop Deadeye, your additional Panther/Gorms are however). What is certain is there's a prisoner in here, and someone called 'Derek' is playing jailer perhaps. 'Derek' is clearly in the mood for a chat. And so in any order begin (unless you wish to continue the encounter then stick to initiative), what do you wish to do?
