Shattered Sea Chronicles, Book I: Festival of the Dead

[Imerak]

Larren wishes that he could get closer and more into the battle, but as it is can only reload his crossbow and fire it off at the armoured captain. Hope I don't hit Broderick again... Meanwhile, his summoned beaver continues attacking with his claws.

May 3, 1106 Morning
beneath Stonegate

Pauly's focus vanishes as he launches the mental thrust at the Captain...and finds his well-directed blast of mental energies smashing against a very powerful will. The Captain looks at him and smiles...then ducks as Larren's shot clatters off the top of the doorway. (Att 4 misses) The celestial badger has more luck, hissing in rage and assaulting the evil cleric (Att 23, 24 hit, Att 5 miss 5 dmg total) who oddly, seems to be barely keeping his feet as the badger returns to the Realm of Entropy. Or at least till Redbeard's dollop of flame crashes into him. (Att 17 hits, 8 damage) The cleric screams, before sinking to the ground, his chest smoking.

Broderick's axe is easily batted away by the Captain's rather large shield. (Att 7 miss) Jillian's sword comes from her sheathe, and it too is batted easily aside. (Att 6 miss)

The sole remaining halberdier frowns, but remains where he is, ready to strike if a target presents itself. The crossbowmen, having reloaded, focus their fire on Broderick and Larren. Broderick is caught a glancing blow by a bolt that slips past his shield (-2 hp Broderick), while Larren is struck a bit harder (-9 hp Larren).

The Captain chuckles, and the flail snakes out, wrapping around Broderick's axe, and ripping it from his strong dwarven grip, to fall clattering to the floor. "First the axe, then your thick skull, stumpy." (Broderick's Opposed Check 16 lost)

The chuckle is somewhat shortlived, however, as Johanna screams in rage, her blade whistling around to crash into the Captain's ribs. (Att 23 hits, 17 dmg) He looks at her, his eyes seemingly inhuman, almost as if he is pleased. "Oh good. Maybe stumpy will be second on the menu, wench."

"First the axe, then the hammer" retorts Broderick as he draws his warhammer and swings it at the captain.

Redbeard 17/17 hp AC 15

"The Balance favors us today fiends, surrender while you can!" Calling upon the sprits of nature Redbeard begins summoning a wolf to aid those in battle with the Captain and distract the archers.

OOC: Summon wolf into square C4. It will attack the Captain from flanking, +5(total) 1d6+1 damage. On the hit +1 trip attempt. Assuming all the archers provoke AoO, the wolf will go after the most wounded one.

Jiilian swings again hoping for a better attack this time.

Johanna's smile widened just a touch, her face now lit with a momentary feral joy, and her howling war-song continued to resound in the confines of the room and surrounding tunnels. She swept her heavy blade back around again, trying to bring the enemy leader down.

OOC: Rage, round 2 of 6; AC 14, HP 20+4 of 20+4; Attack +6, damage 2d6+6

Larren curses as his bolt misses the archway, but can't help but utter a little cheer as his badger digs into the cleric's legs. Lifting up his crossbow, he decides to return fire on the archers beyond the doorway, once again aiming carefully so as not to take one of his allies' heads off.

May 3, 1106 Morning
beneath Stonegate

Pauly raises his crossbow, taking aim at one of the crossbowmen out in the hall. He fires, his bolt striking the man in the shoulder, but the chain shirt stops much of the damage. (Att 22 crit, Confirm 13 fails, 5 dmg)

Larren's shot, again, goes wide of the mark. (Att 13 misses)

Redbeard's wolf appears with a breeze smelling of clean woods...and is promptly chopped by the remaining halberdier, who has been waiting for a target to appear. (-9 hp Wolf 4/13) The blow throws the animal off balance, so that it's teeth skitter off the captain's black armor without effect. (Att 13 misses)

Broderick does his best to make good his words, his hammer smashing at the captain, and pounding into the man. (Att 24 hits, 6 dmg)

Jillian's longsword is again batted aside by the captain's big black shield (Att 15 misses)

Three of the crossbowmen drop their heavy crossbows, and draw their swords, to deal with the growling wolf suddenly before them. However, their blades seem unable to catch the agile beast. The remaining crossbowman takes aim at Larren and fires, but the bolt sails harmlessly past the young cleric.

The captain grins, but his flail is directed at Johanna. Broderick's blow seems to have knocked him a bit off-balance, though, as the swing glances harmlessly off the shoulder of her new chain shirt.

The blow does ruin her own swing, though, as her blade is stopped by the black shield of the evil fighter. (Att 19 misses)

Jillian Wolfrunner : Female Elf Rogue 2

Determined to hit this time, Jillian swings once more, hopeful of her eventual success.

 

[Imerak]

Larren shrugs. "I've got to hit one of these days, right?" He fires off another shot at the pesky crossbowman.
