The Evil Eye - IC

[HolyMan]

"Whoa misses you may be beautiful, but that is no call to be rude." Jiles says casting after he finishes speaking. The bard seems to vibrate as the spell is placed on himself, and then quicker than a fox he moves to block the door to the wagon. "Ithinkintroductionsmightbeinorder," he says very fast.

"I'm... Jiles... Du'Lamir... poet... entertainer... and... most... recently... protector... of... Raul... and... son." he says stopping short at each word before they runaway from him.

[sblock=Actions] Casts Haste - then move (60'/round) to block the door.[/sblock]

[sblock=Haste]
+1 dodge bonus to AC, +1 to attack rolls and Reflex saves. Full attack action allows for one more attack at full BAB.[/sblock]

Saying nothing, but changing course to avoid Jiles, the ghost goes around the wagon and enters it by floating through the wall.

 

[HolyMan]

"Damn," Jiles says turning to open the door. "Raul, UP! UP! We have company and the tea has gone cold."

Jiles enters the wagon and gets as close to the crib as he can.

[sblock=OOC] That is his actions for the round but if I can I want to scoop up the baby and bolt out next round.[/sblock]

Raul sits up in his bed, but merely clutches his violin, as if mesmerized by the ghost's presence.

She pauses for a moment, and seems to become more solid, then reaches for the crib, still ignoring Jiles.

ooc: I'm going to say that picking up the baby - which has to be done carefully or you risk hurting him - is a full round action.

Jiles picks up the baby - and that she notices. "Stop, kidnapper! Give back my son!" she yells at him.

 

[HolyMan]

"Oh no you don't..."

[sblock=OOC] OK need a couple actions based on what it looks lik ehe can do from where he is.

A) If he is closer and can grab the baby and run out, that's what I would like to do even taking the AoO.

or

B) If it looks like she is closer and will get the baby first - draw sword and take a swipe at her outstretched arms. Really just an attack but sounded more dramatic the other way, [/sblock]

ooc: You posted while I was editing.

Jiles runs out into the rain, carrying the baby. Leyla takes the opportunity to try punch him, but misses. She runs to follow him. "Stop!"

The fog outside has now become very thick, and the moonlight is nearly blocked by clouds; visibility is limited to 60' at most.

Raul continues to look on in mute fascination.

ooc: The magically hasted Jiles is faster than her, while the spell lasts. What now?

 

[kinem]

ooc: Bard boy, whatcha gonna do when she comes for you?

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: LOL

 

[HolyMan]

Hearing the ghost of Nikko's mother running up behind him Jiles figures that fleeing will do no good.

He looks at the pale baby in his arms. "Well I'll try to talk to her. I really hope she sees reason."

With that he finds a good spot to place the baby down. And drawing his sword he calls out to the fog.

"I'm really sorry about what happened to you," Jiles says loudly, as he turns to look where he last heard the footfalls. "It's a shame that Nikko may never get to know his mother unless we can come to an understanding."

He doesn't move far from the baby always keeping him within arms reach and his sword at the ready.

"I wish to help. If you will allow me, I know a few wizards throughout the Realms."

[sblock=Actions] Perception and Diplomacy. Total Defense (AC 22)as he waits and watches.[/sblock]

The ghost-woman comes charging down the road towards Jiles, attempting to punch him but he barely manages to turn his armor to deflect the blow.

"Give back my son right now, you monster!"
