Re: AHHH... nope

Nope. I dont have either, but considering i hit him before and he was in the black-bally-thiny-mer-bobber, I think I'll manage.

Yeah, except that not being able to see him was just a 50% miss chance, whereas firing into this melee is probably around a -8 penalty to hit. Given that his AC is 20-21 (a 19 missed, a 22 hit), you need to be able to hit at least AC 28 to get him.

That, or roll a lot of 20s! :)

Sweet taste of victory!

Arcanra draws another arrow, and attempts to puncture the man again (3+5=8), but his shot goes far to the left. Sul'Dan invokes his ancestors, and the sprints towards the man, yelling challenges. Tores also attempts another shot at the man (15+5=20), but Tores' arrow shatters against his shield. Alexander charges the man from behind, and with a tremendous swing (19+9=28, 17+9=26) decapitates (9+8+4+4=25) the man in a fountain of gore. The man's body falls in a heap with a clang at Alexanders feet. A second later, his helmeted head clatters to the ground a two yards away.

DM: The MVP of this combat is a tie between Jasper and Alexander, they'll have to split the traveling trophy

DAMN!

" Darned armo---" sentence cut short. "Holy crap," I say in reply to the gory scene. 'I need me one o' dem." I quickly run over to the burning metal and grab the helmet containing a head and look into his dead eyes. "Ewwww." Then I turn to the thrower of the oil, "you're my kinda man!"

After I get done looking at the dripping helmet, I walk over to the Old Man and see if he is alive.

If he's not I'll ask the group about that, and compliment them on their good work.

If he is I'll ask him why in the hell that happened.
 

Old Man

Tores approaches the Old Man, who is obviously about finished. Kneeling over his dying form, Tores' keen hearing is able to pick up the whisper of the Old Man's voice saying "protect....the sceptre...." seconds later, the Old Man's life leaves his body with a shudder.
 

"A mighty blow, Alexander! You would win may wives." I sheathe my sword, and move over to the enemy's body, then glance at my companions, "Arcanra, are you able to help the old man? I will check this one for enchantments."

I'll then cast Detect Magic. If anything is magical, I'll study it for the full 3 rounds in order to determine strength and (maybe) type of magic. The spell lasts 10 rounds, so I will be able to do only a couple of items.
 

EEK!

I'll search the wagon for anything that may resemble a 'sceptre.'


If I find one I'll look for any markings of fire on it (personal thingy) if there is no markings Ill say "hey Guys, Old Man said something about a sceptre, here it is"

if not ill say "hey Guys, Old Man said something about a sceptre,"
 

When Sul'Dan is scanning the body of the decapitated corpse, the black disc in his right hand seems to be putting off a fair amount of energy. Apparently someone put some effort into ensorcelling it. Also glowing slightly is a medallion around the body's neck. When you pick it up to examine it, you notice that it is a black circle rimmed in purple. Arcanra immediately identifies it as the holy symbol of Shar. On close examination with the detect magic, you notice there is something wierd about the aura you are getting off of it. It seems almost..... evil. You can feel something being sapped out of you every second you hold it. Favoring caution, you set it back down.

Tores jogs to the wagon, and begins searching it. Immediately, he finds a large sack with 300 gold pieces in it. Next to it, he finds 3 gems of unknown value. Finally, he finds a strange elongated container made of pure electrum. Tores opens the container, and inside is an ancient pure gold scepter. Unknown runes run up and down it's sides, and markings of flames are etched into the gold on the top of the sceptre. At the bottem, there is a handgrip made of well worn leather. From tip to bottem, the sceptre measure about 3 feet. Even without using a detect magic spell, Tores can almost hear the thrumming of arcane might coming off of it.
 

?

After noticing the flames I am entirely intrigued (This mage is a pyromaniac... I know u guys didnt see my char. sheet, being of pyro is in it). I immediatly grab the handle and swing it around a bit. I yell,

"Hey guys, isnt this neat? I want this!"
: short pause :
"The Old Man said something about a sceptre before he died, I guess this is it, huh?"
