The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Scotley]

Scotley Alban Cleric/Divine Mind

"Hell's I hope the child survived, but at the same time, I'm not looking forward to toting an infant in a war-zone. I'll start with the barns and the second house in case we need to find some baby things in the first." Once the watchers are down from the barn, Alban applies his torch to a barn.

 

[Pyrex]

Pyrex - Aidan Bladesong - Warlock

Finding nothing in the barn, Nijel will begin looking around for his brother Aidan. When he sees Aidan atop the barn, he will say, "So, Aidan, what tidings?"

"There's a group to the west of us headed further west, quite possibly the group who killed the good folk here. We'll have to be careful to steer clear of them when we set out again."

Once the watchers are down from the barn, Alban applies his torch to a barn.

Seeing Alban coming to set the barn alight, Aidan scrambles down and joins the others to inspect the boulder.

 

[Dracomeander]

Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

Ewan looks up as the others gather around.

"It appears that there is a cellar here. From the tracks leading here, I think an adolescent male resident may have managed to hide down here. We need to take care not to frighten him further. Hopefully, he will be able to provide us with some information as to how what happened here happened."

Ewan then moves around the boulder and pushes it to reveal the opening.

The Ambush

Albain sets about starting the fire to the barns and pens while most of the party gathers around what Ewan has found. Ewan now needs to make a reflex save at -4.

OCC: After his rolls. lets pause for a second so others can catch up and state what their charcters are doing.

 

[Scotley]

Alban Cleric/Divine Mind

Alban continues to run off animals and set fire to buildings.

OOC: Active aura Perception +2 to spot, listen and initiative to all within 10'

 

[Dracomeander]

Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

OOC: Reflex Save at -4 = 18

 

[J. Alexander]

The Ambush

As the rock pivots revealing a small circular stairway, Ewan almost loses his balance as a long boar spear comes from below lightly pinking his leg for 1 point of damage. Had he been any less nible, Ewan would have suffered a grievious wound.

 

[Leif]

Leif - Nijel Bladesong, Paladin of Light

Drawing his battleaxe and preparing for battle, Nijel will boldly rush to Ewan's side, hoping to impose his own body between his friend and the assailant, and he will use his Smite Evil ability, for an extra +2 tohit, +4 to damage. "Stand and fight ME, you roguish miscreant!" NOTE that Smite Evil does not function unless the target is evil.

when Nijel gets a blow in: to hit: 26, damage : 16 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1363727 (I don't know why invisible castle didn't do the math of adding in my bonuses, but showed the bonuses next to the rolls)

OOC: Please note that Nijel's large wooden shield is still strapped on the saddle of Saint Josiah, so Nijel is only AC 18 at the moment.

 

[Rhun]

Rhun - Roak "Cairnwalker" - Warblade

Realizing that the attack has most likely come from the surviving homesteader thinking Ewan was an orc or such, Roak rushes to stop Nijel from cleaving an innocent's skull. "Nijel, hold!"

 

[Leif]

Realizing that the attack has most likely come from the surviving homesteader thinking Ewan was an orc or such, Roak rushes to stop Nijel from cleaving an innocent's skull. "Nijel, hold!"

Hearing Roak's warning, Nijel pauses, thankfully arresting his stroke before blood is shed. Then Nijel remembers who is likely to be hiding in the shelter.

Nijel casts down his battleaxe, drops so that he is sitting on the ground crosslegged, puts his head in his hands, and weeps bitterly. "I...yes, I....was about to cleave in twain one of the very people we are sworn to protect!"
