The Forgotten Forge

[DarkMaster]

Zanick, Pohl and Tai: You all approach the scene where you saw the electric spark, As you approach you all notice a body lies on the floor of the bridge, and you can see a mixture of rain and blood pooling around it. A leather satchel, still clutched tightly in the body's hand, lies in the expanding puddle of water and gore. Zanick recognises Bonal.

Sareth notices the body but stay focused on where the cloacked figure dissapeared. The pourring rain makes it hard to see and hear. Sareth wonder where he can have dissapeared as he looks below the skybridge. He just can't have dropped from that height. Water flowing along the side of his head and into his eyes makes it difficult to eveluate exactly the distance between this bridge and the one below maybe 60-70 feet. Sareth is barely able to see the everbright lanterns from the bridge below. (roll listen 13+4) Through the rain Sareth can hear a metalic sound coming from under the skybridge, but it's very difficult to identify with all the rain covering it.

 

[Verbatim]

Leaning over the railing further, keeping one hand on his hat to keep it from falling off his head, Sareth wondered if the person was hanging onto the under cables of the bridge itself.

~Damn this rain....can't hear myself think in it....the cables must be incredibly slick...how could someone be just hanging down there...~

Any doubt Sareth harbored for bringing his work gear was quickly disappearing as this night grew more complicated with each rain soaked minute. Calling out to the others who were huddled around the body, Sareth hoped they could hear him through the pouring rain.

"I think someone is down here. Hurry up and help me look."

As he heard the rain swallow his words, Sareth pondered taking a step closer, but didn't want to give the person below a chance to sneak up behind him if he moved away.

ooc: Not sure if you want to make the others do a listen roll for Sareth's call with the rain and distance to them.

Zanick 'Zane' Marcela, human wizard

Zane will rush forward "Master Bonal!" and will try and steam the flow of blood from the old man...

Stabilze, untrained, +0 Wis

 

[Delemental]

Tai will also run forward, next to the victim and the human who now kneels next to him.

"Please, sir, I am ordained by Boldrei. Let me see if there is anything I can do."

(OOC - Heal check at +8 to determine if victim is still alive; if so, will spontaneously cast her Remove Fear spell as a Cure Light Wounds)

 

[DEFCON 1]

Pohl pulls the warhammer from his belt and stands above the changeling and the human as they look over and try and help the body. Keeping his eyes on the surrounding area plus the short gnome leaning over the railing of the bridge, he says loudly to what you would assume is the body lying on the ground (Pohl not knowing whether or not the figure is conscious and can hear him or not).

'Do not worry sir! You are in good hands! Just lie still and we'll take care of you!'

He sees the gnome turn back his way and through the slapping of rain on metal Pohl hears him try to pass on information.

"I think someone is down here. Hurry up and help me look."

((Listen +4 if necessary))

If Pohl hears the gnome, he will nod and give the thumbs up before running to the opposite side of the bridge. He will then lean over the railing and try to spot what he can. ((Spot +4))

If he is unable to hear the gnome because of the heavy rain, he will take a number of steps towards him (maintaining his scouting of the area around the body) and shout for the gnome to repeat his statement.

 

[DarkMaster]

Sareth yells in the rain at the three others (listen Zanick 7+2, Tai 14+3, Pohl 4+4) but only the changeling seems to hears his warning.

She carefully approaches the body and can quickly determine that it's too late to do anything. She then makes a sign to the wizards who didn't realise yet that they were too late that he can stop. Tai also notices that elderly man left hand seems to be still sparkling with electricity. Zanick also noticed it. The electricity sparks quickly fades away.

Pohl still trying to understand what the gnome just said approaches him while maintaining his watch. he makes a few steps torwards him and then notices his eyes fixed on something behind him becoming larger and larger.

As she is about to address the poor young wizard, she hears a metalic sound, she turns her head to see where it's coming from and both her and Sareth notices a very large figure jumping from the ramp unto the skybridge armed with a Great axe and ready to attack anyone nears the body. The excessive rain and lack of light prevents Tai(spot roll 10+3) to clearly identifying the figure. On the other hand Sareth clearly distinguished the shape of an angry female warforged(spot roll 11+4).

Init surprised round
Sareth 13+3
Pohl 12+1 Surprised
Warforged 12
Tai 9+0
Zanick 5+2 Surprised

Zanick Marcela, human wizard

Zane's mouth hangs open in surprise as the figure with the HUGE axe starts swinging...

(occ this could be short /occ)

 

[Verbatim]

As one of the men near the body began walking towards him, Sareth drew in a deep breath and got ready to scream out into the pouring rain once more. However, his words died in an exclaimed outburst as something large and metallic swung out from the underside of the bridge across from him, and behind the others.

~By the Dragon's eye...how can something that large move so fast?~

Sareth watched as it charged towards those near the body and saw it draw back the axe it carried for a killing stroke.

~I have to do something...I just can't let one of them get blindsided...~

While the warforged charging the two people bythe body might have been fast, Sareth felt that he was faster still. Dropping his hand to the top of his boot, Sareth drew his dagger from its sheath there and sent it tumbling end over end towards the warforged, hoping that the quiet gods would guide his throw.

ooc: Throw dagger and pray for a 20..

 

[DarkMaster]

Sareth swiftly releases his dagger who hit the warforged but rebounds on the creature metal body (roll 6+4).

She barely notices the gnome and his dagger and attack the young wizard hopping to eliminate the wizard as quickly as possible. Her axe swings through the rain towards the kneeling wizards (roll 11, hit since Zanick is flatfooted). The axe hits the wizard in the chest, the rain covering the sound of the metal going through the flesh and the pain express by Zane. (dmg 12) The wizard falls on the ground near Bonal's dead corpse. Slowly his blood starts to mix in the already large mix of blood in water.

OOC Sorry Karl the dice weren't on your side, but look at the bright side Zane is not dead yet.

----- Waiting for Tai surprise round action.
