OOC: Sorry for the long delay, had major changes in work scheduling, in fact so much so that I'm going to have to cancel my new modern game, since I just won't have time to keep up with two as GM. This game should return to its normal frequency though, now that I've adjusted to things.
May 3, 1106 Morning
beneath Stonegate
The dank stone walls of the complex continue to echo to the sounds of battle, and in the near distance, to the north, the sound of rhythmic chanting can again be heard, chilling words in a language of sheer Malice.
Pauly's goo manifests nicely, and flies straight and true, despite the bodies milling about, to cover the captain in entangling slime. (Att 15 hit) The captain spits and looks at the psionicist, eyes blazing with fury.
Larren's crossbow may be defective, since again his bolt goes astray, disappearing into the darkness beyond the crossbowman. (Att 10 misses)
Before the wolf can sink it's teeth into the halberdier, the man's weapon comes down again, brutally chopping the animal's shoulder, and bringing it down. (-9 hp wolf -5/13) The wolf vanishes an instant later, back to nature.
Redbeard's flame lashes out, flying with uncanny accuracy to light into the captain's jaw. (Att 18 crit, 12 confirms, 11 dmg) The man screams in agony...and falls to the floor in a clatter of steel.
Broderick, seeing his foe fall, steps up, into the doorway, and smashes at the halberdier with his hammer. (Att 16 hit, 9 dmg) The man crumples to the floor, his helmet dented and bloody.
Jillian, too, sees her opportunity, and moves past Broderick into the hallway, tumbling (Tumble 18 succeeds) easily past the crossbowmen, and stabbing at the wounded one. (Att 9 misses) Unfortunately the man ducks.
The crossbowmen focus their efforts on felling the agile elven woman, one of them scoring a long slash along her ribs. (-8 hp Jillian)
In the next moment, Johanna follows Jillian out the door, and the crossbowmen suddenly find themselves between the two women. What could have been a rather useful situation is spoiled, though, when Johanna nearly slips and falls in the wolf's blood, her mighty sword blow going awry. (Att 9 fails)
Still, the eyes of the four men go from Johanna's blood covered visage, to Broderick, and one of them says, "Will you take our surrender?"
