Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[Goonalan]

GM: I using Tiornys post in the OOC- So, assuming nothing unexpected happens, I'm planning to wait for Velani to flank the creature and Kali to have his axes in hand, at which point I'll summon Gorm, Spirit Infusion on Kali, and then summon Gorm again, giving 4 temps to Velani and Kali. I'll probably also burn the boon for an extra minor action and give Kyalia +4 damage until the end of my next turn. Hopefully I'll be able to post that in sequence, but if I take too long, feel free to use that info to keep things moving. Which translates as (I think)- Summon Gorm M7- 4 Temp HP Velani. Spirit Infusion Kali Summon Gorm M7- 4 Temp HP Kali. Pelor Bonus- Adaptive Stratagem Kyalia +4 damage till end of Ah-shahran's next turn.

Gorm suddenly appears next to the fracas, Velani is buoyed by the hounds presence, an instant later the hound dissipates and Kali reacts- furiously, swinging wildly with his battleaxe at the beast... and takes another great chunk out of the thing. Kali unleashes his Assassin's Shroud which does a little more hurt.

The Summoned Creature looks forlornly at the Shifter, gulps and gawps, looks down at the wreck of its body- it snarls, half-heartedly, it seems it has met its match.

Gorm flickers back into existance, Kali looks from the dog to the Summoned Creature, and grins.

Ah-shahran whispers a hushed prayer, invoking Pelor, momentarily Kyalia's bow, arrow already set to fire, glows like sunlight...

Rat #2

A strange thing... Kyalia glances down the, the Rat facing off against Freggo just got better, or rather as she watches its wounds seem to fade a little- it's regenerating.

The Elf screams and points at the beast.

At the same moment the oversized rodent attempts to sink its teeth into Freggo ripping through the young hero's legging and sinking its teeth into his flesh.

The rodent then darts away, too fast for Freggo, or Kali for that matter to follow...

Rat #3

It seems the creature isn't done yet, it darts forward to flank Velani with the Summoned Creature. It then launches itself at the back of Velani's legs- biting and gnawing on the guardswoman, thankfully the creature is grabs a mouthful of her leggings- Velani is unhurt.

Next up- Freggo and Kyalia, and then the Beast.

 

[Thanee]

Kyalia

Kyalia raises her bow, aiming for the creature that has been summoned to stop them (or for another purpose, but happens to be in their way now). Encouraged by Ah-shahran's magic, the elf fires two arrows at her new quarry. She only takes a moment to breathe before drawing another two arrows and fire them at the same target as well.

I like the "no names", as they tended to obscur things, even though they are helpful to identify the opponents (but location on the map works for that as well).

I do not really like the health bars (the ones you had previously looked better ).[/SBLOCK]

 

[Blutspitze]

Seeing the creature well under control by his coherts, Freggo turns his attention to the rats, getting them off his friends.

[sblock=Actions]Move to J4; minor to Aegis other rat.
Shift to K3 as part of Luring Strike, attack Rat in L4. Assuming a hit, I shift to L2 and Rat slides to K3.[/sblock]

OOC: Attack Roll with 4 is only a 13; Assuming that misses rat

GM: [MENTION=6680999]Blutspitze[/MENTION] I can't get you to J4 with a move of 6, without taking at least one attack of opportunity. Around the pillars are hard corners, by which I mean you can't move diagonally around them- you can't move N3 to M2. You have to go N3 to N2, then M2... Is this what you wanted or am I not seeing things straight. You do realise that setting your aegis on the other rat cancels it on the rat you have already got marked with your aegis (L4). Get back to me...

Freggo dances forward and applies his Aegis power to the furthest rat, and then slices out with his longsword, a Luring Strike, alas to no effect. The Swordmage dances back the way he came.

Kyalia changes aim, and then unleashes a flurry of arrows, or rather four quick shots in succession, only one of which- the first, does not find the target. It takes all three hits to finally settle the Summoned Creatures cause.

The ferocious looking fiend flops hard onto the cold stone floor, the large Rats left in the room squeak in unison...
