Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

[s@squ@tch]

Lenuran of Lortmills, Bard 4, Hp: 24/24

"Voices, how exciting!" the little gnome says quietly,"Let me see if I recognize the tongue."

Lenuran sits and listens intently to the voices, trying to see if he can make anything from the conversation.


OOC: Strahd - can you fill me in on where Lenuran is at in terms of spells left for the day, bardic music uses, and spell like abilities?

Surprise round

"Ani lo yodea ma olech po, kus emo ars, ulai a koanim yoodim"
A strange brutish dog like barks like tongue can be heard from the corridor.
"Ha, or, ulai sofsof ya'anu lanu"
Reply a second dog like voice.
You take positions and prepare.
From the northern passage two Gnolls comes out, they ready to speak as they spot Miltiades with the light, but do nothing but stare in awe.

Korbryn Rivenshield, HP 42 of 42

Korbryn growls and swings his greatsword hard at the gnoll closest to him, determined to put the thing down with a single strike.




Surprise round -
1 pt. power attack: +9 attack, damage 2d6+13 (19-20)

Initiative 6

 

[DEFCON 1]

HP 19/19 : AC 18 : Spells 6/6/5 : MM Charges 34

Ithiken very quickly sees the two gnolls appear. (Initiative 20) Not wanting to hurt them straight away before the group decides whether or not to parlay, he casts a spell to at the very least slow of them down. His hands wave, he barks a short command, and suddenly a puffy, translucent hand appears and grasps the waist of one of the gnolls. (Cast Bigby's Warding Hand: DC 15 STR check)

"I got one of 'em! We gonna talk first?"

Before anyone can move, the Kid bursts into action, striking at the gnoll as it comes around the corner. He smiles impishly after the elf's spell, then bolts past the door to stab at the gnoll at the dwarf's feet.

OOC: Init: 23. Surprise action: Attack gnoll (AC 20, 4 hp). First Round: Move to T27 (no AoO as they are flat footed), then skirmish the one in front of Korbryn if it is not the one affected by the spell, otherwise D2 (AC 14, 10 hp). Remember, they are flat footed and thus denied Dex bonus.

Lenuran begins to spin a yarn about a Paladin named Cervonis who had once taken on a young red dragon singlehandedly...

OOC: Bardic Music - Inspire Courage: +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. Will continue in the first round as well.

[Rhun]

42 damage ain't bad for a single hit by a 4th level character!

Korbryn lifts his visor and grins, gnoll blood running down his face where it spurted through the helmet's eye slits. He casts a glance at Ithiken and shrugs his metal-clad shoulders. "Sorry," he offers quietly, knowing the wizard wanted to interrogate to the gnoll. "Perhaps next time," he says, though the smile on the dwarf's scarred face clearly indicates that he would rather just chop a gnoll down than waste words on one.

 

[Voadam]

Miltiades removes his spear from the gnoll's corpse. "None of us speak the gnoll tongue. It was well done to kill them quickly before they could howl an alarm to others who might also be here."
