stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]
- Thread starter stonegod
- Start date
As the giant wolf growls and bears it's fangs... the very first thought the Stalker has is of the giant wolf they saw outside of the church a few days ago. He wondered then where it had come from... now he knew.
Figuring that this kind of happenstance and the shifter's decree that they do in fact have "treasures" probably means they are on the right path... Jarrith wastes no time in getting started. "Sorry buddy... but we need that sword." He then lets the arrow fly at the wolf. (Surprise action: fire shortbow)

Shifter Ambush: Surprise Round
Catching the mangy wolf unawares, Jarrith manages to lodge the arrow in a sensitive place in the wolf's neck. But he watches in horror as the wound seems to close almost as fast! [Sneak attack hits; 13hp; DR applied]
The shifter, apparently anticipating the ambush, suddenly grows more feral. The hunter's face distorts as vicious, feral teeth burst from his mouth. It pulls out its bow and nocks an arrow as it does so. [Shifter shifts] Meanwhile, the white streaked bear and the huge wolf lumber towards each other, their cries echoing through the wood.
Shifter Ambush: Round 1
Everyone can attack as normal, with the visibility notes previously given. Movement through the forest is difficult terrain. Large trees provide cover as well.

Seeing the wounds close around his bowshot makes Jarrith quite worried. If an arrow lodged that deep does no appreciable damage, what are his rapiers going to do? He drops his bow to the ground and begins backing away through the underbrush... figuring he'd be better off having some of his compatriots move up and join him in the attack. He also takes the opportunity to pull out one of his wands to cast a spell of agility on himself. (Free action: drop bow / Move action: To O10 (3 squares) / Standard action: Cast Cat's Grace)

Discarding a prepared spell (OOC:Call Lightning) from her memory, Janis begins to summon a wolf worthy of being an opponent to those attacking here. (Dire Wolf)
"Closer, they need to be closer together," Janis shouts above the din of combat.

Already a bit ill at ease in the forest darkness, Tessa assumed the worst from the sounds that reached her. Who knows what else might be out there- she could only see a shadowy form through the intervening trees. Not enough of a target, obviously for any kind of likely shot. Crossbow still readied, she made her way back towards the path and the majority of the group.
OOC: Moving back to the main group (headed for L 6)

Shifter Ambush: Round 1
The shifter grunts as Marot's orchid bolt hits him in the chest [14hp]. Off the the side, the Stalker pulls back to a defensive position, warding himself. [cat's grace]
The shifter spits at the ground, yelling, Meddlers! You and yours will pay! His bow creaks under the strain as he launches an arrow throw Marot's armor and into his shoulder! [6hp after DR]
Drawing her blade, Ashlyn pushes through the brush to approach the massive wolf. Behind her, the Stormhand begins the complex words to a summoning spell. But it is hardly heard as the bear savages the wolf, slashing its face and throat! But Ashlyn clearly sees the wounds close as they are taken, and the wound is half of what it should be. [One hit, one critical; 43hp before DR; moderately wounded]
Ladreth dismounts awkwardly, and forges into the forest after Jarrith's wolf, hoping to flank it. Meanwhile, Tessa emerges from the forest back with the horses who appear apprehensive at the going ons.
Snarling, the wolves pounce. The one near Ashlyn thrashes with its jaws, and the bloodied bear tumbles to its feet. [17hp with bite; trip attack succeeds] The other, smelling the halfork, lunges at Ladreth. The brush, luckily, turns the massive jaws aside. [Miss]

Marot the Pissed-off
The arrow still stuck in his upper shoulder, Marot's anger is roused, an aura of menace shrouding him.
He says calmly with a hint of malice,"Again, Guardian of the Wood, you have made the wrong choice, and you will pay for your error in judgement with your life."
He pulls the arrow from his shoulder, in a robotic manner, calmly intones,"Ilmat", which causes his gloves to glow like red coals in a hearth.
He then issues forth another orchid bolt of eldritch energy, this time the bolt is infused with the fires of Fernia.
OOC:
Eldritch Spear against shifter in tree, activate Gloves of Eldritch Admixture, using 1 charge (2 charges left for today) adding 2d6 damage to his eldritch blast of type Fire.
Ranged Touch +6, 3d6(untyped) +2d6 (fire)
