Six From Gate Pass - A War of the Burning Sky Campaign (3.5)

[Adjuntive]

The bleeding in Alric's side has staunched somewhat and he knows this one can still spill more of his blood. Though Kirio's tune bolsters Alric's resolve, he's always enjoyed a good tune and this one reminds him of the pleasures of another lifetime. Alric dances around the thug with a grace that belies the heavy armored load he bears and lunges at the thug a calculated strike.

OOC: Alric takes a 5ft step to H8, effectively flanking the thug providing him with a +2 attack bonus, and attacks him with his bastard sword... well, at least its not another 1.

 

[Bannock]

Bannock, initially concerned for Torrent, notices that a stranger has come to her aid and decides to continue his focus on the dance with the fool in front of him.

He steps back into H-14 and lashes out, but misses his mark again.

 

[fromage67]

The matron with the deadly crossbow widens her eyes a little at the appearance of the newcomer. She smiles fiercely as she drops her crossbow and rushes forward, dagger in hand, to continue her job of destruction.

Move to G8, flanking the thug, and attempting to end his miserable life. Unfortunately, she is not as accurate as with her crossbow.

 

[Gregor]

Alric, once again your sword is met by a sturdy shield arm.

Bannock, your attacks continue to pressure the thug, but he is able to once again dodge the strike of your glaive.

Lars, despite your opportune position, your dagger strike goes wide as the thug bobs and weaves between you, Alric and Hrimr.

 

[digimattic]

Arnir is pleased with the space that Bannock's movement has opened up and he fires another arrow at the thug at I-16.

 

[Gregor]

Arnir, your arrow strikes the thug unerringly in the sternum. At such close range, the full draw of your bow plows the arrow through his armor, snapping his ribs, rending internal organs and finally, severing his spine as the arrow head exits his back. His body is thrown back and he lays, quite dead, on the frosty cobblestones.

"Rantle!" cries Torrent as she steps to I18 and lines up another swing from her axe, "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Her axe catches the thug on the back of the skull and with a sickening crack and a spray of blood, he falls to the ground. She takes a moment to wipe some blood from her face before cracking a smile and saying: "You're obviously not here to save me."

 

[funkmamagoat]

Kirio keeps playing...

 

[The Bashar]

With Alric in a flanking position Hrimr attempts to end this battle with a strike from his pick.

OOC: Atk: +2 flank +1 song Dmg: +2 feat +1 song

 

[Gregor]

Initiative Over

The last impostor guard takes a look around and sees that not only is he surrounded, but all of his allies are dead. He quickly dodges Hrimr's attack but realizes that he has no avenue of escape. Panicking, he drops his sword and shield to the ground and holds up his hands crying: "Alright, enough! Enough! I surrender!"

"Keep an eye on him boys," says Torrent as she walks over to Alric and Hrimr, "and somebody figure out who this sharp shooting citizen is." Torrent checks out each member of the party for injuries and applies her wand to seal wounds and restore health.

The man referred to as Rantle sheathes his sword and leans against a storefront with his arms crossed. With a smirk on his face he says: "Good thing I came when I did Torr, things could have gotten out of hand. I guess they took one look at me and all the fight went out of them." He chuckles, surveys the party and then asks: "Hey, where is the lad I sent you? Did Lars not show?"

 

[funkmamagoat]

Kirio brings down his flute and sighs in contentment at the carnage around them "Well done friends! That was.... quite invigorating."

He looks over at the deadly sniper with a slight frown, as if something is bothering him (will save).

Then walks over to the corpses to see if he can find anything of interest.
