Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

The wolf bares its jaws and snaps forward after hearing its master's command to attack. The beast pounces towards Kirio (X6), hoping to bite into his leg and pull him down onto the floor. Its teeth close down over air and it snarls.

The thug with the dual cutlasses dashes forward and attempts to stab Arnir in the lower back (move to Y10). He drives one cutlass through the mage armor and digs into Arnir's flesh.

Bannock's glaive flies into action. He whirls it down on the cutlass wielding swordsman who stuck Arnir. After landing a clean blow, he steps towards the crossbowman who loosed a shot at him (into V-8), putting him in range of his weapon.

"Take another shot then!" he snarls.

Bannock, your glaive savagely hacks the man's in half from the top of his head to the middle of his neck. Chunks of skull and brain spray and a torrent of blood gushes. The lifeless body collapses to the ground behind Arnir.
 

Perhaps due to the lengthy lay-over since his last combat, or due to a new-found aversion to fighting having nearly died the last time around, but Arnir finds himself woefully flat-footed when the combat commences. Barely aware of what's happened, Arnir's body shimmers purple for a moment as a cutlass slashes through his Mage Armor and his thin clothing delivering a devastating slash to his back. Stumbling forward in agony, Arnir barely notices Bannock's brutal sundering of his assailant.

Regaining his composure, he looks up to see Lowduke and his thugs and knowing he has mere moments of heightened cognitive abilities, he stretches out his arm and with a flourish utters a few arcane words in the hopes of knocking his foes out cold before they can do further damage

OOC: Arnir casts Deep Slumber focused on the top right corner of U5 (The pillar). The DC for this spell is 10 + 3 + 6 = 19
 

Arnir's spell detonates silently, offering only an expanding bubble-like explosion of shimmering air that can be vaguely seen as it ripples outward. Both Baenor the mage and one of Lowduke's crossbow-wielding guards (the one at T7) topple over as if receiving a blow to the back of the head by a sap.

Nathan Lowduke barely notices his cronies falling under Arnir's enchantment. The battle begins too quickly and his training as a hunter and ranger kicks in immediately. He vaults forward, rolling into a low tumble as he draws his two-bladed sword (V4). He attempts to slip beneath Bannock's glaive and drive one end of his blade up at Bannock's sternum. The blade thuds into Bannock's breastplate with a metallic thud, and though it does no damage he can feel the significant force behind the strike.

Kirio winces as the bolt scratches his arm, then snarls back at the wolf as it attempts to maul him.

Kirio jumps away from the immediate threat of the wolf (five foot step to z8). Resisting the urge to draw his bow and fire an arrow between the beast's eyes... he instead brings his flute up to his lips and begins playing a lively tune... it is strangely energizing and you notice the now familiar green glow forming around Kirio as he plies his trade to assist you.

OOC: playing inspire courage, +2 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls and a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects
