Scotley's 4e Swashbuckler

[Scotley]

Malkyr spots a nearly invisible wall of webs blocking the road just in front of the group. He motions for the group to stop. There are a lot of confused tracks here. It appears people have been wandering about in circles on the road and nearby slope. None are particularly fresh.

OOC: I took the liberty of having Malkyr warn the others since WD is having connection issues. If you don't like the marching order as posted on the map let me know.

Manous Artouche, Human Protecting Paladin 4

At Malkyr's signal, Manous stops short and draws steel. The Paladin seems to be more at ease and able to think more clearly when there is a blade nestled comfortably in his hand. Quietly, his voice scarcely more than a whisper, Manous says, "Merci beaucoup, Malkyr, mon ami! I wonder how far the webs extend out to the west here? And stay on your guard my friends," the Paladin whispers, "for it is just at moments like this when we are most vulnerable."

Manous keeps a careful watch to the group's front and left, knowing that it is at times like this when ambushers favor making a sudden, devastating attack. Manous, at least will be ready.

Malkyr Tsul

"No surprise I was the one who saw the map. If this should be an ambush, more than one can play this game." Malkyr whispers and moves to the side of the way to hide..

[sblock=OOC]

move to D20. Use stealth to hide, taking 10.

Special: If an enemy has 10 or less HP left after hit by me, he is dead.

[Rhun]

Lucien draws his blades and steps to the right, wary of an ambush. He scans the right side of the road for any signs of danger.

 

[Shayuri]

Tabitha draws her rapier and dueling dagger in a blur and whirls around, looking suspiciously left and right. When she doesn't see anything immediately, she immediately goes for the first cover or concealment she can find...a tree or bush to the side of the road to vanish behind, perhaps.

 

[Lou]

Alejandro (Ali) Arroyo

As the other draw their weapons and take defensive stances, Ali shrugs and gracefully slides his blade into his hand as he slows his pace and then stops, looking around.

OOC: Ali stops in the middle of the road and stand there.

 

[Shayuri]

(bump!)

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Post coming tonight!

 

[Scotley]

Lucien boldly places his back to the steep drop while Tabitha and Malkyr vanish into the underbrush. As the others ready weapons three Spiders break cover moving quickly in your direction. It seems they were napping as you have the drop on them.

Manous Artouche, Human Protecting Paladin 4

Manous first uses a [Minor Action] to Bless his warhammer, giving +1 to attack rolls and +1d6 Radiant damage until the end of the encounter. Then he maneuvers deftly around the edge of the web across their path, moving in this fashion: F18, E17, D16, E15, F14 [Move Action], from whence he attacks Spider 3 using his Righteous Smite ENC Power [Standard Action, Cha vs. AC]. If by some freak chance Manous hits with a 12, his blessed warhammer inflicts 8 hp damage to the spider. NOTE: This assumes that the Low Scrub is not hindering terrain. If it is hindering terrain for the party, Manous will instead take a 5-foot step to G17 and prepare to receive the oncoming foes, giving particular attention to Spider 3, but also remaining alert to any other threat that comes within range of his weapon.

Manous considers using his Human Racial Encounter Power, Heroic Effort, but decides that he would be better off to conserve that power for use later in the encounter.
