[ooc: Just to make things easier I'll assume Saxon speaks elven when talking to his fellow party members. ]

"Well, my teachings forbid the use of-" and Saxon is cut off by the evil voice.

Mzarem growls at the forming mists, and once they become whole Saxon reacts as well. He notices Kyalia moving towards the creatures so whistles sharply and clicks his fingers in her direction. Mzarem's reaction is automatic and he hurries over to protect Kyalia as she moves into melee. Saxon equips his sling as he moves a little closer to the enemy, then lets fly with a stone at the closest one.

"Dolan, is a second disembodied voice convincing enough?" he asks after letting the slingstone fly.

Enthalus draws his bow and steps to the side positioning for cover fire. As he moves he begins to chant, his voice calling out in a stirring invocation of elvish magic that summons courage and inspires confidence and hope in the starborn, filling their arms with vigor to strike sure and hard against their foes.

ooc [init +7 five foot step back and to the side, move action to draw bow, standard action initiate bardic music inspire courage +1 morale bonus to hit and damage for all of Enthalus' allies for this round and five more. AC 16, hp 6] also if Enthalus is rushed before his turn he will draw his short sword instead of his bow.

 

[Evil Ujio]

Initiative: Dolan 22, Enthalus 17, Kyalia 15, Mzarem 15, Saxon 13, Laurel 10, Shadow Goblins 6

Just a side note, make sure to list in OOC comments in your post any bonuses to attacks or anything combat related to your actions, makes my job, just a smidge easier; so I would appreciate that like what Voadam did makes my life so much simpler.

Round 1

The Starborn react quickly as Dolan kicks a rock to his hand and throws it deftly at one of the menacing shadow creatures! The rock clacks right off the creature’s squat head, the rock skids into the rising water…

Dolan rolls an 18 to strike and does 2 points of damage!

Enthalus takes a step back and his voice rises as he sings of courage and strength to his companions. His voice brings strength and puissance to their actions… even the crashing of waves and the growing wind cannot silence the strength of his song!

Inspire Courage for each party member, +1 morale bonus to strike and to damage! This will last till Round 6.

Kyalaia calls upon her divine magic and strengthens her blade for the conflict to come as she takes a tentative step towards the shadow creatures. The spell’s potency will last perhaps a minute at most, but hopefully that will be enough! Mzarem, Saxon’s wolf companion comes to Kyalia’s side and waits for the creatures to attack!

Meanwhile Saxon lets a sling stone fly, but flies over the head of his intended target! Laurel aims true and lets an arrow fly, the arrow narrowly hits the mark, as the creature collapses backward, dissipating into shadowy mist!

Saxon rolls a 7 and misses, while Laurel rolls a 14 and hits doing 7 points of damage! The shadow goblin is gone, four left!

The shadow goblins attack en masse charging the party in eerie silence! The first to strike tries to overpower Kyalia but thankfully Mzarem growls and tries to bite the leg of the unfortunate creature! But the creature is ready for it and uses its light shield to deflect the strike. The creature swings and brings its Morningstar into Kyalia’s side with a slight thud!

Mzarem now has Initiative count of 7, he rolls to strike and gets a 7 and misses. The shadow goblin rolls a 19 and does 1 point of damage to Kyalia!

The shadow goblin that Dolan struck in the head, charges him swinging its Morningstar over his head for a wicked strike! The crushing blow slams into his chest and nearly knocks him senseless!

The shadow goblin rolled an 18, and did 4 points of damage, Dolan is now disabled!

Another shadow creature lobs a javelin at Laurel, the final one following suit, launching a javelin at Saxon! Laurel is struck by the javelin, the shaft sticking from her wounded leg! The rain of javelins continues as Saxon is clipped the point of a javelin, blood welling up on his shoulder!

The shadow creature rolls a 17 and does 4 points of damage to Laurel. Saxon’s attacker rolls a 17 as well and does 2 points of damage!

End of Round 1

Initiative: Dolan 22, Enthalus 17, Kyalia 15, Saxon 13, Laurel 10, Mzarem 7, 4 Shadow Goblins 6

 

[Thanee]

Kyalia

Kyalia's blessed sword strikes down towards the shadow goblin attacking her.

Should the creature go down from her attack, she moves to Dolan's side to protect the weakened elf.


Attack Longsword +4 (1d8+4/19-20)

 

[Endur]

Leaning to favor her wounded leg, Laurel fires an arrow at one of the Javelin hurlers within 30' that is not in melee within one of her companions.

(Attack Longbow +5 + 1 within 30' +1 morale =+7, Damage: 1-8 +2)

 

[Ranger Rick]

OOC: +2 luck bonus to AC for one round and as a standard action draw my dagger. I assume it is not drawn yet so I can not attack. When it is drawn I will attack +0 1d4. I assume this will be next round?

 

[Festy_Dog]

Saxon feels the warm sensation of blood soaking the sleeve of his robe. He whistles again, different from before, raises an arm and clicks his fingers in the direction of an unengaged foe before moving over to Dolan. He exchanges his sling for his scimitar as he does so. When he gets over to Dolan he summons up the energies of the surrounding land and uses them to cure Dolan's unjuries.

[ooc: move action over to Dolan (if he's close enough), draw scimitar while doing so, cast cure lgt wounds defensively (conc +7, d8+1)]

 

[Evil Ujio]

OOC: +2 luck bonus to AC for one round and as a standard action draw my dagger. I assume it is not drawn yet so I can not attack. When it is drawn I will attack +0 1d4. I assume this will be next round?

Round 2

Dolan can only take a move action, drawing his dagger is considered a move action. The free action is fine, he gets a +2 luck bonus to his AC; he can attack the round after, but if not healed he will go to -1 if he attacks. Now Enthalus turn!

Dolan draws his blade and prepares to defend himself, despite his grievous injury! His tattoo flares with power and a glow suffuses his body as he draws upon the power of the stars to aid his defense!

[ooc: move action over to Dolan (if he's close enough), draw scimitar while doing so, cast cure lgt wounds defensively (conc +7, d8+1)]

What actions is Mzarem taking this round as well?

 

[Voadam]

Enthalus cries out "Unseelie spawn of shadow! You shall not prevail against the light!" and fires an arrow at one of the javelin launchers he has a clear shot at.

[+4 short bow, d6+1 x3, AC 16, hp 6 Enthalus will then use his move action to maneuver to keep in missile range and line up for next round].
