The Faerie Woods [Knight Otu Judging]

[Patlin]

Gorefoot, having not taken his eyes off the man, says in a quiet voice, "Where are you going?"

The man stops his retreat under Gorefoot's scrutiny. He swallows nervously, but demands in an agressive voice "What business is it of yours?"

 

[Manzanita]

Percy

"If the inn is closed, it still can't hurt for us to walk around a bit. Percy loads her crossbow. "Let's have a look, shall we?" A smile of grim amusement is on her face. This is life as an adventurer. Much more exciting than being a princess

 

[Patlin]

"Barin! We've got trouble out here!" the man yells.

As Persephone loads her crossbow, he raises his scimitar into a guard position and takes a few steps backwards, away from the party.

 

[SlagMortar]

As the man shouts and raises his scimitar, Nars draws his sickle and one short sword. "Put th-that, er, down, lad."

 

[IcyCool]

Relieved at the chance to cause bodily harm, Gorefoot springs into action. With one fluid motion, he draws his greatsword as he charges the man. Not knowing if he should kill him, Gorefoot opts for a "gentler" touch, and slaps at the man with the flat of his blade.

OOC: If Gorefoot is within his 60ft. charge range, he'll attempt to do subdual (-4 to my roll I think?). If he isn't, he'll position himself for a charge next round.

Attack bonus +4 (base +6, +2 for charging, -4 for attempting to deal subdual).

1d10+4 damage

 

[nimisgod]

Ishmael watched the hostility degenerate into violence in but a single moment. He readied his shield, but did little else save to wait and see further developments.

 

[Manzanita]

Percy

"Um..well..." Percy raises her hand belatedly to stop Gorefoot's charge. "Oh well. We'll need to discuss tactics once this is over... I do miss Fant."

 

[IcyCool]

"Um..well..." Percy raises her hand belatedly to stop Gorefoot's charge. "Oh well. We'll need to discuss tactics once this is over... I do miss Fant."

OOC: Sorry about that, the moment just felt right. A tactics discussion would most definitely be in order. Maybe I should get Gorefoot a collar and leash?

The Battle at the Inn

Initiative
Ishmael 19+3=22
Persephone 12+6=18
Scimitar Wielder 14
Nars 7+3=10
Rodimus 8+2=10
Gorefoot 6+1=7

Round 1
Ishmael watches in dismay as the situation deteriorates, but readies his shield and prepares to defend himself. ooc: Takes the full defence action.

Persephone's comment, while timely, is lost on Gorefoot in the brief timespan as battle begins. Ooc: Manzanita, if you want to treat that as a delay till after Gorefoot let me know.

The scimitar wielder holds his blade defensively, hoping to stall for time. ooc: Readies an action.

Nars readies his weapons and tries to talk the scimitar wielder down, to no obvious effect.

[Rodimus may go here.]

Gorefoot charges! As he comes within arms reach of his target, he takes a glancing blow from the scimitar wielder. (ooc: 3 points of damage as readied action goes off. Changes initiative of Scimitar wielder to immediately before Gorefoot.) Attempting to swat his target with the less lethal flat of his blade, Gorefoot overcompensates, rendering the blow ineffective. (Ooc: miss.)

 

[Dalamar]

A grin spreads to Rodimus' face. "This I understand," he says, popping his knuckles.

OoC: Same tactics as Gorefoot for now. If both look for a better position for a charge, then take the opposite side to gain a flanking bonus later on.

Unarmed attack +6, d6+3 nonlethal. Includes charge bonus, and no reduction for changing to nonlethal thanks to monkiness
