The Forge of Fury

[Maidhc O Casain]

Gerlari sees an opening and sends another shaft into the fray; alas, his shot goes wide even of the 'broad side of a barn' target . . .

OOC: Attack roll was a 09 after adjustment for firing into melee.

 

[HolyMan]

Hinderpick waits as he sees Sabern maneuvering to help distract the duergar leader. As he keeps his wits about him and fends off another attack.

Auris takes and hopes the electrical ball of tiny lightning bolts and sparks will do it's job.If not he is set and prepared to fight. But then a small smile crosses the halflings lips as the dark dwarf cries out in pain as the ball catches him in it's discharge.

Sabern after making his way around the downed enlarged dwarf finds himself to the rear of the leader. As the cleric steps up the dwarf bellows, "Try'n ta get the drop on me Eh? Will sees about that." But Sabern catches the sword with his shield and prepares to finish the dwarf.

[IronWolf]

Sabern feels the blow across his shield, wincing as it hits, happy to see the shield once more served him well. With the duergar's attention on him, Sabern makes a furious side swipe at the creature's knee making solid contact.

Combat Over

The duergar steps away from the damaging ball of electric to take a swing at Sabern. The blow is wild - possible due to how much pain the dark dwarf is in.

Then after the swing Sabern connects with his mace atop his bare skull causing him to drop to the stone floor unconscious.

[sblock=OOC] Rolls above since Ghared goes before Sabern (was a big miss). The group currently has three dying duergar lying about. There is gear and bedrolls around for nine. <hint> And there is still hammering coming from double doors to the south. [/sblock]

 

[sunshadow21]

Hinderpick secures all the weapons, armor, and other combat gear so that if someone does feel like stabilizing the duergar, they and their associates are severely weakened combat wise, which hopefully will make them less likely to make silly demands they can't back up. Also, he will grab the highest quality light crossbow he can find and a number of bolts for himself.

 

[IronWolf]

Sabern straightens, lowering his shield slightly as his mace hangs heavy in his hand. He glances at the fallen duergar and then at his companions. "You okay Hinderpick? Looks like one of these clipped you."

"I can bring one back if we want to question him, or possibly this one playing leader to get us past the others. Or we can just push on ahead. Matters not to me,"

 

[sunshadow21]

OOC: Hinderpick is only down 9, so unless you have a wand, don't worry about it.

OOC:

 

[IronWolf]

Sabern seeing the stubborn dwarf making light of his wounds moves to Hinderpick and takes a closer look. He pokes at the wound a bit and frowning says "Better see what we can do real quick. If those bedrolls are any indication we are bound to be seeing more of these things."

Sabern slings his shield to one side on his shoulder and lets his backpack droop enough on one strap to allow him to pull a slender wand from one of the side pockets. Concentrating he utters a brief token word and sends the healing energies forth to help knit the wounds. Sabern studies the wound again, taps the wand with a continuing frown and then utters another word, the hint of frustration obvious as he again holds the wand quite near the wound to allow the healing energies to flow.

[sblock=OOC]

2hp back from the first use of wand, 4 from the second for a total of 6. The wand is jinxed.

"May as well at least stabilize these fools. Perhaps even wake up their leader so he has a chance to come to his senses about the whole toll idea. They may be fools, but they may be completely stupid, and I don't need any more blood on my hands than I already have." Hinderpick grudgingly accepts that it may be better to let these fools live, and hopefully learn. "Just try not to take too much time doing it. There are more important things in this place than these fools." After collecting all the weapons and armor, Hinderpick will stash them all in a pile near the stairs, suggesting the wizard check the pile out for anything worth while magic wise. He will wait to see what the wizard finds out before grabbing the best crossbow to augment his ranged attacks.
