The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Redclaw]

Padraig, Dragon Shaman 4, 23/38 HP, AC 19 (16 FF; 13 T) Fort +7, Ref +4, Will +5

Padraig rocks in pain from the electiricity coursing through his armor. By the wings of the Saint, you'll pay for that, cowards! He looks desparately around for a place of relative safety where he can put the lad he's supporting down before joining the battle proper. Knowing that where there is spell-lightning, spell-fire is likely to follow, he allows his aura to remain the same.
[sblock=ooc] If there is a place that looks like it might be safe, he'll ride over and lower the boy. Otherwise he simply try to stay close enough to his comrades to have them benefit from his aura without directly engaging anyone. [/sblock]
Aura-- Fire Resistance 10

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Katherine Brightlaw - Rogue/Sorcerer

Just as she takes the time to spare a glance at the small copse of trees, wondering how her teammates fare within, the Ogier's large large axe whistles over her head - inciting a most un-warrior like squawk of surprise and outrage.

How in Hades did something that big sneak up on me?! I'm supposed to be the one doing that!

Realizing the beast has managed to get too close for spearwork already, Katherine draws Knight and Knave but her momentary discombobulation cause her initial blows to swing wide. With a grin of anticipation for the coming skirmish, she visibly reigns herself in and begins to circle the huge monster.

Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

Ewan kicks himself for letting his guard down and spins away between the orcs closing on the small group.

"Foul ones. Your taint cannot be allowed in these peaceful lands."

With a little separation, Ewan puts arrow to Messenger and lets fly at the orc nearest the kids.

Andor

Paidraig, give the boy to me and help the rest. I'll stand and protect the children.

Boy, take your sister and mount. IF this goes wrong way run as fast as you can toward south. When you meet other soldiers warn them of this kind of ambush and tell about us.

OOC: What's the boys name? I asked and we had time enought to know.
OOC2: Spells tomorrow if this goes poorly.

Roak growls away the pain of the electrical discharge and leaps to the ground, moving to engage the nearest ogre.

Padraig 17
Kat 15
Young Boys
Orcs 1
Orcs 2
Aidan 10
Alban 9
Orcs 3
Ewan 8
Andor 5

The Party gathers itself to meet the ambushers. As they gather two more lighting bolts lance out from to hidieous ogier figures some 120 feet away striking at both Roak and Padraig once again (Please roll ref save for 1/2 of 16). One ogier then closes with Kat and begins a dance of death with her lashing out twice but only hitting once for 6 points. Reacting to the attack, Roak leaps from his horse and moves to engage two ogiers coming up from the west and engages them before they reach the horses and the children. Nijel attempts to move back to back with Alban as Ewan tumbles clear of the encounter. Raising his axe, Nijel lands a solid blow on one of the orcs opposing him, neatly dropping him. Padraig meanwhile in a display of horsemanship quite beyond his normal ability manages to lower the boy into a small stand or cedars close to the road and moves to support his companions. Drawing Swords, Kat joins her opponet in circiling each other in what may become a true dance of death. The from the woods comes several arrows shaft that pepper some of the ogiers approaching the party. Responding to Nijel's attack the three surviing orcs take swings with wicked looking scmintars and hit the embattle Palading once for 5 points of damage. Ewan tumbles free of his the swirling combat causing the orcs to miss him. Alban meanwhile narrowly misses twice from getting hit by orcish blades. Aidan seeing the attack upon the party unleashes his own magic agaist one of the ogiers from who lighting is origanting and scores a solid hit with his own magic. Not to be outdone by the embattled paladin, Alban moves back to back with Nijel and lashes out with his mace neatly dropping one of this two opponets. Tumblinb free of the confilct, Ewan quickly regains his feet and sends and arrow straight thru the ocs left eye socket, dropping his foe immediatley. Andor meanwhile raises his voice in prayer and Roak feels warmth upon his back and the healing grace of the light pour around his body.

ACTION PLEASE

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin of Light, AC20(21), 41/48 hp

Nijel feels the orc's foul blade nip at his lower leg for 5 hp damage, and he says, "'Tis but a scratch, is that the best that you can do, Vile Slave of Darkness? Then feel the bite of the Light!" Whereupon Nijel swings his battleaxe, smiting the orc who dared to shed the Paladin's blood. (to hit=22, damage =9 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1404686)

As he feels the blade of his battleaxe slice into the orc, Nijel begins to try to catch a glimpse of his brother across the melée. "Aidan?" Nijel cries, "How do you fare brother?"

 

[Dracomeander]

Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

Ewan hears the crackle of lightning outside the brush and hopes his friends out there are doing well. Hoping to keep the kids safe, Ewan taunts the orcs in orcish while continuing to weave through the brush circling the ambushers. When a shot presents itself, Ewan takes it and continues moving.

"What motherless son of a goblin butterfly chaser reared you to believe a warrior would attack children?! If you wish to be called something other than limp, maimed fodder of dandelions, you need to choose your opponents with more honor."

[Redclaw]

Padraig, Dragon Shaman 4, 17/38 HP, AC 19 (16 FF; 13 T) Fort +7, Ref +4, Will +5

Reflex save (1d20+4)= 16
Rocking with the force of another blast of lightning, but now free of his burden he surges forward to support his companions, changing his aura to one designed to help ease the pain of the worst of their wounds. He also readies his crossbow and fires at one of the beasts that has been blasting him with spells, missing wildly in his hurry and pain.
Attack roll (1d20+6)= 11
[sblock=ooc] the HP is after fast healing, and assumes 16 was high enough to save, otherwise Padraig is down to 9 (7+2 fast healing).
His attack will be aimed at whichever of the casters isn't currently engaged in melee.[/sblock]
Aura--Vigor, Fast Healing 2 for anyone at or below half hit points.
