Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lobo Lurker" data-source="post: 2653923" data-attributes="member: 25172">The curvy woman crosses her arms, tosses her mane of silky black hair, and looks imperiously at you as her wild men rush fulfill her command.The two wild men with white spears quickly quaff potions and begin growing before your eyes. Now roughly 10 feet tall, they move forward, the tips of thier white spears looking quite menacing.Marcus draws his greatsword and meets the threat head on. Pointing a finger at the dark-haired woman he shouts, "Fiend! Today you will feel the righteous fury of the Arcane Shield!" A blue bolt of lightning <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=166491" target="_blank">Flashes</a> from his outstretched hand to the woman and <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=166492" target="_blank">staggers</a> her before splitting into smaller bolts and arcing to the men around her. As the smell of ozone fills the air, you see that many of the wild-men are <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=166493" target="_blank">burnt</a>. Despite the initial surprise of the attack, the curvy woman seems to shrug off the attack and seems unaffected.(OOC: most of the raiders took 6 damage and one, who failed his save, took 11).The big men flanking the woman surge forward, sprinting toward you. The axes they wield are hard to see as they are dark colored, but the nearby fires reflect off of a polished surface.Arvad shouts to the woman, "From here you appear to be the interloper. This is our party and you'll be going home hungry."  Nocking his bow, he <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=166497" target="_blank">looses</a> a pair of arrows at the curvy woman. The first buries itself in the side of the wagon behind her; And while the other strikes her solidly she calmly pulls out the arrow and examines the tip before tossing it away."Is that the best you can do?" she taunts him as the two savage men hiding behind white wooden shields come rushing from around the bonfires.Scavatch utters a feral snarl and complains sourly. "I was sleeping." His hands blur as he <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=166501" target="_blank">fills the air</a> with a rain of arrows at the two enlarged spearmen. This, unfortunately <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=166504" target="_blank">draws</a> an attack of opportunity from the spearman nearest him, who stabs the tough little gnome. All six arrows land solidly, however, and the spearmen already burned by Marcus's lightning falls to the ground, his life's-blood seeping into the dirt around him.(OOC: Scavatch takes 10 damage, but knocks R2 to -1 hit points and leaves R1 struggling to stand)."C'mere so I can show you what's comin' to ya!" shouts Mardin as he moves forward, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=166506" target="_blank">avoiding a hit</a>. He readys himself to receive the axe men's charge. "You woke me up, now you pay the price!"(OOC: You weren't clear on where you wanted to move so I just tried to position you to interrupt the charges of the axe guys against the bowmen & conjurer).Threednle meanwhile, waves his arms in mystical patterns while speaking the arcane words of power as a field of thick, black, 10 foot long, rubbery tentacles erupts from the ground begin <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=166507" target="_blank">lashing</a> out at all within reach. The tentacles wrap themselves around the curvy woman (who giggles and seems to be enjoying this). As they begin crushing her she manages to wiggle out of the tentacle's grasp.(OOC: I actually did all the opposed grapple checks for most of the thugs before I realized that I'd forgotten to move them on the map, that's why I didn't provide a link to the rolls... didn't want to confuse you).</blockquote>
