Storms of Change, Part 2

Manzanita

Seeing that the two party members now facing the dog both have darkvision, Manzanita pulls her lantern low and behind her, figuring the dog probably can't see in the dark.

Dodging the canine's clumsy lunge at him, Dunathar knew that he had to press his slight advantage while he could. Stepping into the dog's path, he brought his morningstar down quickly hoping to silence the dog once and for all.

Filbert puts his lantern on the ground and loads a bolt on his crossbow. (OOC: two move actions to draw and load it)
 

-- Round 2 (cont) --

Manzanita sees that the two party members facing the dog have darkvision, covers her bullseye lantern, and calls out for Filbert to do so as well.

Devan (autopilot) fires another arrow at the dog, but realizes it would be quite difficult to hit, given his friends in the way and the fact that the dog is engaged in close combat with them.

Dunathar, dodging the dog’s clumsy bite attack, counters with his morningstar. He connects solidly [hitting for 9 damage, max damage, again]. The dog falls to the floor, unconscious.

-- Combat Over --
 

Rowyn stops singing, makes shushing motions at the others, and listens as best she can to see if there are any noises outside those of the party. [Listen +6]
 

As the dog fell to the ground, Dunathar wasted no time in sliding his steel into the dog's chest to end its suffering. Unlike killing a man in combat, Dunathar took no pleasure in killing the dog, as it was only doing what it had been trained to do. Sadly, this meant that he would only see the black blooded Hextorites as his masters, and that left only one course in his mind.

Wiping the blood off of the dagger, Dunathar turned to look back at his companions, wondering what they would wish to do next.
 

Dunathar quickly performs a coup-de-grace on the fallen dog. As the echoes of the loud barking filling the stone corridors die down, Rowyn hushes the others, listening for any sounds.

Rowyn hears nothing.
 

Manzanita

"Well fought, gentlemen. Dogs bark for various reasons. Perhaps no one is concerned. Shall we continue? does someone need healing?"

Even as the elf wizardess speaks the encouraging words, she wonders herself if this is true. This dog certainly seemed like a guard dog. She looks down the short corridor to the door at the end.

Bert

As Filbert goes to retrieve his thrown dagger he also listens for some signs that someone has been alerted by the dog. If he hears nothing, he'll return to the party. "Let me look at that wound Dunathar. Humm... nasty bite. I can probably heal that." If Dunathar offers no objections, Filbert will spontanously cast a cure light wound spell, losing his use of Shield of Fate. He turns to the rest of the party. "Surely someone heard this dog. They will probably be alerted now and I can only do some minor healing now. I say we go back to our two sentries, hide in the forest and rest for a while."

OOC: Filbert is a coward ... ;)
