Storms of Change IC Part 4

[silentspace]

Zook commands the webbed gnolls to get on the ground. "And don't move or you'll get an arrow in the backside!" Taking out a coil of rope from his pack, Zook says "Someone can cover me while I tie them up, or I can do the same for someone else..."

"Don't bother tying them up." Manzanita snaps. "We only need one alive. Kill the rest. And we must hurry. The hobgoblins could be here any minute." With that, she shoots an arrow into the nearest trapped gnoll.

Dunathar looks from Zook to Manzanita. Then leaving the webbed gnolls alone for a moment, he turns and fires his crossbow at the free gnoll. His bolt misses.

From some distance behind and well-concealed, Pard looks on with wide eyes.

Lucan, human pit fighter.

Lucan flips to his feet and leaps at the gnoll as it scrambles to get away. Insinct takes over and his hands and feet lash out in a combination of punches and kicks.

ooc: Combat reflexes gives him 3 AoO's. Not sure if he can use them like this but if he can - Stunning Fist followed by two Unarmed strikes. If not, just go with the Stunning Fist.
* unarmed +5 melee (1d6+3, 20x2)
* Stunning Fist Fort save DC 13.

Goven

Goven raises his axe again and brings it down with all his might on the gnoll as it flees (full Power Attack).

 

[Someone]

Dunathar drops the crossbow and draws his weapons. Everything seems controlled, and the fleeing gnlol is way faster than him, so he readies to jump any other problem that could appear (or escape from the web).

[ooc: draw weapons and, basically, do nothing]

 

[Manzanita]

Manzanita Sparrow

For now, until convinced otherwise, Manzanita will continue to fire at the trapped gnolls, one at a time until they die.

 

[silentspace]

Harnessing his ki, Lucan swings at the fleeing gnoll, and hits. The gnoll stands stunned.

Goven follows up with a mighty swing of his axe, biting deeply into the gnoll's side.

Lucan leaps up, smashing his knee into the gnoll's face, dropping it to the ground.

Manzanita puts another arrow into the trapped gnoll.

Dunathar stands in front, weapons at the ready.

Two of the gnolls begin to move.

Gnoll 1 was tough, but you have the feeling he may have been the toughest (leader)

Playing it loose without initiative for now. Will reinstate initiative as it becomes necessary.
Goven and Zook can take extra actions from last round

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Zook takes his rope and cautiously moves forward, going to tie the unarmed gnolls if they surrender to him.*

"Surrender! Surrender peacefully and you won't be hurt further," he says, the rope in his hands. If the gnolls surrender, he will tie them at their hands and feet.

Lucan, male human pit fighter

"Hold there Govan. This one may be worth keeping alive."

Lucan kicks the gnoll's battle axe away. If the gnoll looks like it out of the fight, Lucan strips it of any other weapons it may have. Then he urges it to its feet with the point of his kama.

Slipping around behind it, Lucan gives it a shove back in the direction they came from.

"Move it. Try something and I will slit your throat."

Gove OOC

Did I read something wrong? I thought all the gnolls were caught in the web except for the one Goven and Lucan were chasing.

 

[silentspace]

Gnoll 1 is down, unconscious and bleeding. All other gnolls are caught in the web. The gnolls in the web all dropped their weapons as a result of Zook's tactics. Two of the gnolls in the web look like they've just gotten free enough to start moving (see Web description), though they haven't yet taken any actions, such as trying to pick up their weapons.
