Strahd's "The lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" CLOSED

[Rhun]

Turo furrows his brow as he considers the challenge to single combat. Toughest fighter? Did that mean Garon? Or was it he who carried the divine blessing of the Gods along with him into combat? Or perhaps it was Garl Glittergold's will that the gnome bestow his blessings upon Garon, thereby ensuring success is the challenge?

Looking unimpressed at the minotaur, Keldar says "Interesting proposal...Would you allow us to discuss this amongst ourselves?"
Assuming yes:

Hmm, what trick is up their sleeve? Keldar says to himself. Then looking at the othersI doubt they would suggest this if they thought they would loose...These wicked kinds do not have a reputation for honor. However, it would indeed be disonorable to decline their proposal. Also, I fully exect them to break the deal at the least opportune time... Taking a breath, Keldar says "I volunteer for the fight. I myself have a few tricks up my sleeve, and would not want any of you to face that Minotaur"

OCC: Dang, this is a drawback of playing a lawful character. Although Keldar is LN, he has definite LG tendencies, and getting close to a full alignment swap.

Updated map

ooc: here is the updated map.

Edit: Clerics of Hextor are known to be evil, but lawful. They are opposed to Heironeous as it is known that Hextor is his Half-brother.
They clergy tend to be evil side of perfectionism, order and justice.

"I too would volunteer," says Turo. "But Keldar and Garon are both better fighters than I."


Sorry, Steve Gorak...didn't mean to count you out. I had just thought the 4 rogue levels made you a little less of a fighter than Garon, but after looking over your charsheet, Keldar could be deadly in a one on one fight with his chain.

“Well, guess I am out when it comes to meleeing, though I could give you some help there, like making you match the size of that brute, if he would be the one... for some reason I doubt that, it would be too obvious. But that's probably just me being a little paranoid...”

OCC: No sweat. Basically, the only way (I think) to win this is to use "tricks" during the fight. I'm thinking that Improved feint, combined with a decent bluff level (+7), and a good tumble score for mobility (+12) could give Keldar a chance.Besides, my character won't accept that we confront them now: if our strongest warrior cannot defeat theirs, chance are that everybody would die, witch Keldar won't go for... I just hope I won't lose a cool character :\

"You could use that chain of yours to trip him, and then beat him while he is down," says Turo, though he is sure Keldar is aware of that potential tactic. The gnome considers the opponent, trying to recall what he knows of Hextor's faith.


Knowledge Religion +12. Turo is trying to determine if the cleric of Hextor will stand by the results of the single combat, as well as if he means to play dirty or not, based on what he knows of the religion.

OOC: I'm afraid Eliyyad is far more likely just to lob a fireball into the middle of the three of them, while he has the chance. Can you give me any compelling reasons not to?

 

[Rhun]

The rest of us aren't prepared for that. Compelling?

 

[Boddynock]

The rest of us aren't prepared for that. Compelling?

OOC: Yep!

IC: Eliyyad scoffs at the black knight's words, then is amazed that his companions seem to be taking the offer seriously.

"Surely you do not assume that these folk are trustworthy? Even if we could trust the leader, can he ensure that his followers will abide by his word? No, my friends, I think we must prepare ourselves for combat. Else we risk everything on a single cast of the runes, and even if we are successful, we leave enemies at our back."

Having had his say, Eliyyad casts Mage Armor on himself, all the while keeping an eye on the foe.
