The Closed Eye (DM: Halford, Judge: garyh)

Palindrome's magic missile sear the Bugbears hide, and the creature tightens its grip upon the haft of its morningstar and swings at Woe. However the creatures is obviously overcome at the loss of its companion as its blow fails to hit the fighter without him even having to move (nat 1).

OOC: I will need a death check from Tander, but thought I would move on.

[sblock=Combat Info]
Palindrome
Tander 6/24
Bugbear 34 damage
Woe 28/29 - You're up![/sblock]

OOC: Well realizing I would need to roll Tander's death check I rolled ... 20. So...

Tander groggily opens his eyes to see Woe standing over him.

Out of Character

Hurray! We won't have to spend 500 gp to raise Tander from the dead! Tander lives!

:angel:

[sblock=Tacky Tactics]Hey, guys, let's choose to make the buggery-bear unconscious, rather than dead. Then, we can torture him (for information--heh!), remove his limbs, and send him back to his pals as a message. A tongueless message. But a message, nonetheless. Woe could carve, "You're next." or something equally threatening in Goblinoid characters.

No, I'm serious. We could milk this punk for a load of information and let his buddies know that we're the Dirty Harry, Charles Bronson good-guys, not the shiny, happy paladin good-guys.

I mean it. We're in an apartment with a kitchen. If we did something truly horrific with this maggot, but still it somehow able to limp its way back to its buddies...

Heh! We could even follow it back.

Oh, and if you can push the ******** back one space from y'all, I'll give him a pop with Acid Arrow.[/sblock]

“You see that furry corpse bleeding all over the ground, buggy? That ain’t your punctured boytoy. That’s you. You’re dead.”

Woe quickly thrusts his spear into the bugbear, then smacks his self-portrayed shield hard in its forehead to shove it back a few steps – literally repelling it with his own smiling face.

Hearing Tander groan awake, Woe casts a glance down and gives him a quick nod of acknowledgement.

“Don’t worry, bud. Gotcha’ covered.”

[sblock=Actions]Tide of Iron, 22 vs AC, 12 damage and push bugbear to G16. Mark. Woe does not shift into H15 even though the power allows it.

Woe still has a Move and Minor action to spare, if he can use one or both of those to help Tander up, he will.

Knock out and torture was my exact same thoughts as well! This is without a doubt the strongest lead we’ve ever gotten our hands on, and we need to know all we can about “the Clan”.

There’s a much more obvious dismemberment than its tongue, though (we need it able to speak). It wanted an eye? We’ll give it an eye. :devil:

[sblock=Recruitment]Guys, the L4W poster Atriden is a personal friend of mine that I promised to recommend for recruitment to the Closed Eye. He’s a good roleplayer that can post frequently, and I think the character he plays would fit the group both socially and mechanically (he’s a striker, the missing role in the party).

Just thought I'd ask on his behalf. Halford's ok with it, but no problem if any of you prefer not (and I remember Ken wanted to keep the gang as is).[/sblock]
 

Tander wakes up from his brief flirt with death. What's this? Is that an emotion on his face? It looks like Tander is deeply..... disappointed. He moves quickly out of reach of the bugbear, and sends a perfectly aimed white bolt of energy at his forehead. Almost forgetting himself, he cures himself of his wounds in the process.


OOC - lost track of where I am. Tander wants to get up - if he needs to spend an AP to do so he will. Move - shift one square away. Std - Lance of Faith crits for 13 damage. Woe gets +2 power bonus to next attack against bugbear. Minor - Healing word on self - spends surge and heals an additional 13

[sblock=Recruitment]I've mixed feelings about it.

On one hand, it would be great to have a striker. We could use the extra damage output.

On the other hand, I like Palindrome as the wizard that steals things and bluffs. Having a rogue would cut into that schtick.

If we could add a ranger or a warlock, I'd be more up for it. A warlock could be doggone funny, considering Palindrome's contempt for them.

Still, this is a group decision. I've voiced my opinion, and I'm willing to support what you guys choose.

If we let him in, we can have him join once we return to Doddoddod's tower. Maybe Doddoddod hires him to 'keep an eye on us'--especially after a few incidents, such as stirring up the city guard, attempting to burn down the Library of Daunton, trying to get a simplel-minded, non-combatant girl to attack monsters, and (soon) 'interrogating' a buttbear.[/sblock]

The Bugbear seeing its situation go from bad to hopeless, steps back away from Woe, raises its middle finger at the group, draws a peculiar wavy bladed dagger and slits its own throat. Blood gushes forth and the creature collapses to the floor.

OOC: :devil: 133xp each.
