The goblin mutters and waves his hand in arcane passes, as shadows gather around him, and then he points at Galen, causing the shadows to flow around the armoured warrior and then vanish. (Dekiran:
You made the spellcraft check, the spell is Protection from Good
)
The ring of steel fills the air as Garen swings his halberd at Aerick (Total: 12 vs Flatfooted AC 17), who blocks the blow with his heavy steel shield, which is only just able to withstand the momentum of the blow. Throughout this exchange Garen utters not a single word.
Argus,Dekiran and the Orc all stand watching, ready to intervene at a moments notice.
Aerick then manages to recover from the blows momentum and strikes out himself with is great axe (17 total vs AC Something) which throws sparks at it collides with the full plate of his opponent, after having battered its way past Garens shield.
And new round. 24 hour timer starts again, as of this post.
(ooc: Aeriks alignment is not mentioned in the Rogues Gallery thread, so the Protection from Good might not be useful against him. The Goblin wouldn't know that off course. What's Dekiran's assessment on Aerik's alignment?)
OOC- Taleasan Royal Halberd, its an exotic weapon, thats basically a medium-size halberd that has reach. (Yeah its kinda funky but its the hallmark of the King's guard).
Realising that outside aid is permitted in the duel Haragaos bows his head in whispered supplication to the King of the Dead. A gathering darkness and chill settle on the guardsman along with the certain knowledge that death overlooks him.
OOC - Apology for the extra 24 hours wait, I got hit with some extra assessment I had to deal with (bleah).
Once more the goblin mutters and waves his hands, but this time as the shadows pull around him, they wrap and he seems to grow taller and more fearsome even as he gestures dramatically. Aerick:
You feel a shadowy compulsion come over you but you shake it off. Will Save Result 20 vs Some DC (Success)
Dekiran
This time working out the spell takes a good deal of thought but you deduce its a Charm Person spell (Spellcraft Result 16 vs DC 16)
Garen backs away from Aerick defensively keeping his shield in position and backing away 40'.
Once more Dekiran, Argus and the Orc standby.
(I assume that Aerick will close again since I can't see a ranged weapon on his sheet)
Aerick closes the gap between himself and Garen, which invites an attack from the long halberd of his foe, but Aerick's chainshirt absorbs the force of the blow only its magical reinforcement enables it to deflect the heavy blow (Attack 18 vs AC 19) . Aerick manages to close and swings his axe at Garen, but the platemail clad warrior catches the blow on his shield turning it harmlessly aside (Attack 13 vs AC something).
Haragaos casts his spell but the Guardsman seems to shake off his certainty and fight on (Will Save 22 vs DC 16 Success).
(Since its getting very late for me from this updates the timer will be only 18 hours this time, but after that it will return to 24 (the adjustment will move it to early night instead of almost midnight for me)
