Storms of Change, Part 2

[silentspace]

This lock is significantly harder to pick, but Dunathar manages to do it after a couple minutes. The door opens into a 5’ wide by 20’ long corridor, with another door at the end. Standing in front of the door is a guard dog.

-- Round 1 --

As the guard dog sees the intruders, he starts barking and charges towards the party [readied action], its teeth sinking into the dwarven scout. [4 damage]. The dog, its teeth biting down on the rogue, shakes its head savagely, but Dunathar’s dwarven stability prevents the dog from taking him to the ground, and the dog lets go.

[Seonaid]

Rowyn immediately breaks into song, inspiring courage in her companions. If she's close enough to attack with her short sword, she will. Otherwise she will wait until she is able.

 

[silentspace]

The door is at the end of the main 10' wide corridor. Dunathar and Filbert are occupying the front spots. The dog threatens and is threatened by both of them. The others are behind the dwarf and the halfling.

 

[Manzanita]

Manzanita

Manzanita makes no attempt to engage, but tries to hold the lzntern advantageously.

OOC Is there another source of light?

 

[Hurricain]

ooc: Hey, I'm back. Moving Sucks!

Devan looks for a open shot with his bow, if none present them self he will pull out his short sword and attack the dog.

 

[silentspace]

The 5' wide corridor beyond the door has stone walls similar to most of the other spaces here. The ceiling here is ten feet high. The corridor has an empty torch holder on the wall, as some of the other rooms have had. (Only the room with the humans in it was lit.)

Manzanita's lantern shines into the narrow corridor, lighting the space brightly. The dog's eyes seem to glow a lurid yellow color in the light. It continues to bark loudly, the sounds echoing through the stone rooms, its fangs bared menacingly.

 

[Verbatim]

Cursing himself for being too slow to dodge a flea infested mangy mutt, Dunathar looked at his bleeding arm for a moment before drawing his morningstar.

~I hope you liked your last meal...~

Striking out with his good hand, Dunathar hoped the barking would not draw too much attention to them, but knew deep down it already had.

OOC: Attack with morningstar and try to finish off puppy quick...

 

[GPEKO]

Bert

Filbert cautiously takes a step back and throws his dagger at the dog. He then draws an another one.

-- Round 1 (cont) --

Rowyn begins to sing, Inspiring Courage in her allies.

Manzanita’s lantern shines into the narrow corridor. The shadows of the combatants flicker against the far wall and door. The hallway looks otherwise empty.

Devan knocks an arrow and fires it at close range. He fires wide, not wanting to hit his companions.

Dunathar draws his morningstar, smashing it against the dog’s head, knocking it to the side [9 damage]. The dog is staggered, but continues to snarl, looking for an opening to attack.

-- Round 1 (cont) --

Adromon (autopilot) swings his glaive from the second rank, trying to finish off the guard dog. He’s unable to maneuver his glaive through the dwarf and the halfling as well as he’d like, and misses.

Filbert steps back from the dog to throw his dagger. He moves through his companions to find some room to throw [15’ back to get to an open square, no AoO because of cover from the doorway], and throws his dagger. Throwing through his friends and towards a target right next to Dunathar proves difficult, and to be safe, Filbert throws a little high. Too high.

Zanock moves forward to Filbert’s vacated space, and swings his falchion at the dog. The dog jumps away from the orc’s swing.

-- Round 2 --

The dog continues its attack, snapping its jaws again at Dunathar. The quick rogue easily sidesteps the bite.

Rowyn continues to sing. [Inspire Courage takes effect]
