Shackled City - Chapter II

[Majin]

Zeric's curse hits the half-dwarf, slightly disorienting him for a moment as he feels the detrimental effects weighing down on him. Orpheus unsheathes his shortsword quickly, slashing through its throat with unusual precision (7 damage), dropping the guard, which makes him feel quite proud of himself. Kazmojoen tosses the chain holding the boy down and prepares himself for battle.

Elyas releases his remaining magic missle at the half-dwarf, hitting him squarely with his magical bolt (4 damage). Althron manages to take the other hobgoblin out with a well-placed shot from his mace (8 damage), smashing the deep into the creature's ribcage. The howler behind moves in front of Kazmojen, protecting its master with its life. (OoC: Raven's action here. Manz, just post two actions for your next combat and I'll have Raven's happen before the beginning of the next round.) The durzagon, Pyllrak, steps back from the ensuing combat, seemingly not wanting to get involved. Alinis runs up to meet the howler blocking the half-dwarf. Slashing at it with her sword she misses, as the creature dextrously dodges her attack.

Alinis' curses fill the room as she misses the swing and then gamely swings at the critter again. "You mothering son of a...." she trails off into elvish, grimly attacking it.

Before pride becomes his downfall, Orpheus smartly sheaths his sword and draws his bow, preparing to fire at the howler.

Freshly out of options and arcane powers, Elyas grabs hold of his short spear and makes a pitiful attempt at combating the Howler.

(+1Melee, Short Spear, 1d6)

Raven

Raven curses as Althorn strikes the first blow. This looks like a very dangerous battle, and Raven is not inclined to charge right in like some crazy barbarian. She pauses, eyes sharp, looking for a chance to flank attack. Seeing the guard drop, she circles, preparing to attack Kazmojen from behind if other engage him, trying not to let Pyllrak out of her sight.

[sblock]OOC: Feel free to drop her in the initiative order. She doens't want to engage the baddies alone, so may end up losing an action.[/sblock]

 

[Mimic]

Seeing the hobgoblins fall, Althron smiles slightly to himself but it passes after a moment, Kazmojen was the leader which meant he will be a tough opponent and that didn't even include what ever that dog like thing was.

He closed his eyes for a moment as the words to the spell come to his mind for a moment he considers casting it on Zeric but ultimately casts it on himself instead

ooc:enlarge person on himself (domain spell)

[sblock] +2 strength, -2 dex, -1 ac and attack, heavy mace does 2d6+3 instead of 1d8+2, 10 foot reach[/sblock]

 

[Verbatim]

Zeric saw the lead slaver take a step backward as the curse slammed into him, but when Kazmojen quickly recovered, Zeric knew the fiend was no simple foe to take lightly.

Moving quickly across the floor, Zeric gripped his morningstar tightly and as the large canine creature approached him, Zeric struck quickly hoping to take the monstrous creature out of the fight.

[sblock]OOC: I didn't know if Zeric could get to Kazmojen through the the puppy or not, so I assumed he couldn't. If I am wrong, let me know, and I will edit my post accordingly..[/sblock]

Zeric swings at the hound, but its quills manage to just barely deflect the blow. Meanwhile Orpheus makes ready with his bow. Kazmojen grunts as he tosses a throwing axe towards Zeric, the weapon whizzing by the hexblade's head, missing his ear by a hair's-width. The slaver growls in frustration and readies his urgrosh.

The scribe, his wits obviously not about him but not knowing how else to help stabs at the howler with his spear, missing, and earning him a growl from the creature and a snapping of jaws in his direction. Althron begins murmering the encantations of a spell as the howler bites at Elyas' wrist, grazing it as the mage pulls his hand away sharply in pain (7 damage).

Those keeping an eye on Pyllrak are surprised when he disappears out of thin air. Alinis swings at the howler, making contact this time, clipping the creature with a thin slice at its side (4 damage). Surprised by the sudden burst of violence around her Raven stares for a moment before reacting. Seeing no other choice now, she sidles off stealthily to the side of the room, trying to not to draw attention to herself, eyeing the slaver warily.

Zeric - 16

[hippocrachus]

Orpheus will fire at the howler.

Alinis brightens as she manages to do some damage to the narsty critter and continues to attack it with renewed enthusiasm.
