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

[digimattic]

Arnir feels a wave of soothing energy wash over him and is immensely thankful for having Torrent with them. Cursing as the wall of flame rises up, Arnir runs to where he thinks he could safely use his bow calling out to his party "We're not in Seaquen any longer! This is the elemental plane of fire!". In position (B22), Arnir raises his bow and fires blindly, hoping he can hit someone other than his party!

OOC: Forgot to add the +2 to weapon damage. If that's a hit, it should be 11 damage.

 

[Gregor]

Arnir, because the wall of flames blocks all sight, you have no idea if your arrow strikes home. You only see it pass through the curtain of fire and disappear beyond.

GM: You were able to fire this arrow seeing as you knew the Inquisitor stood still when he cast that spell - it was logical that you could attack his square. However, from this point on, anything and anyone beyond the wall of fire is effectively invisible to you (and Torrent and Kirio) and therefore unable to be directly attacked.

 

[Bannock]

"Araaggh!"

Bannock yells as he is seared in the flames. He scrambles away from the fire into H-10, slightly smoking from his armor. He looks at the guard nearest him, and sniffs the air.

"I smell bacon. Do you smell bacon?"

Bannock twitches his glaive in a slight feint, causing his opponent to make a fatal error in his guard. The glaive slashes out in an expert swipe, scything through both Ragesian soldiers.

 

[fromage67]

Lars yelps and steps out of the flames and out onto the bridge (G21).

He feels the agony of the burning, dollowed quickly by a soothing liquid relief, and is amazed to find he is essentially unwounded. Lars stands guard, ready for an attack againstanybody coming out of the fire.

 

[The Bashar]

Hrimr gasps as he sees Bannock get engulfed by the circle of flame. He looks around wildly and realizes that he's trapped in the circle.

", , !"

He knows that Bannock is likely alone on the other side of the wall, trapped with the enemy. With his living warhammer held in front of him Hrimr lets out a loud yell and runs through the fire wall.

He feels the flames scorch his body and burning his beard. When he emerges on the other side he sees a scorched Bannock on the on the other side. And ends his run beside him. Only now does he notice that his warhammer is immolating, but these flames do not burn and the living wood is not being consumed.

OOC: The living warhammer now does 1d6 fire damage on a successful attack for the next 10 rounds.

 

[Gregor]

Bannock, your savage swing hacks one of the soldiers in half at the waist. His entrail-dangling torso topples to the ground and his legs spasm and splurt blood before falling over as well. Your chop continues through, but the soldier squarely blocks your glaive with his heavy steel shield.

The Inquisitor snarls as he watches his soldiers continue to be cut down. He mutters a dark incantation and points his finger at Bannock. The fighter shakes his head briefly and fights away the strange feeling that momentarily seeped into his mind.

GM: Hrimr, as with Bannock and Lars, you take 19 points of fire damage. No save.

The remaining soldier looks hesitantly at his Inquisitor master but finds only steely resolve in those gleaming red eyes. Out of fear of failure, the soldier steps forward and hacks his axe at Hrimr. The blade cuts a deep gash in the dwarf's shoulder.

On the other side of the flames, Torrent merely stares at the column of fire (delays). "Arnir, is there anything in your bag of tricks that can get rid of this?"

[fromage67]

Kirio, knowing there is little else he can do at this juncture raise his flute and begins playing once more...

OOC: Kirio playing inspire courage... you know what it does. Yes, still at the home of cheese hence Fromage posting for Kirio...

 

[digimattic]

Arnir throws up his arms in despair looking over to Torrent with a furrowed brow "Not a gods damned thing!" he curses, spitting on the ground. Yelling as loudly as he can, he cries "BANNOCK! HRMIR! WHERE ARE THEY STANDING!? BE SPECIFIC!"

			I just might be able to get an arrow through!

After all that, Arnir casts his hand skyward and a pale white glow washes over him, suffusing his body.

OOC: Arnir has followed Kirio's lead and cast Resistance on himself

 

[Bannock]

Through the flames Bannock is vaguely aware of someone shouting, but is paying no attention whatsoever to the words.

He takes a 5 foot step back and unleashes two vicious stabs at the last remaining guard.
