The Funeral (Stonegood judging) [finished]

Rystil Arden

First Post
(OOC: She already used Goodberry, so now she has the berries on her--try another spell, though for a two round duration SNA1 is kind of a waste and makes her a target during the one round casting time. She's probably better off using Aid Another or something)

Niccolo and Raven run on the treacherous surface of the boats and barges , jumping to surround the adventurers, while Siobhan starts casting a spell. Meanwhile more warforged and construct climb the piers, while the ones that already were there advance and engage Lormand’s men, but it’s only Ceshil, who keeps at the eastern pier guarding the chest, who manages to knock down one of his foes with a spell. Only one warforged reaches Siobhan’s position, but in his haste he’s not able to attack and instead opts for jumping into the barge, and his great weight makes it rock like a wild colt. Siobhan has problems to keep her footing and concentration.

The adventurers react. Niccolo and Stulgar find themselves alone in the barge when one of the half orcs sweep the false workers out of it with a powerful sword strike. The woman meanwhile shoots a stream of fire at Raven, who can do anything but interpose her shield. Even then she’s badly burned as the flames flow around it.

[ooc: Raven and Niccolo both make their checks and maneuver to surround the woman and the half orcs. (Niccolo first drinks his potion)

The warforged, Ceshil and the swordmen maneuver and attack. One of them just jumps on Siobhan’s barge: she needs to make two separate checks: Balance DC 10 to keep her footing, and concentration, also DC 10, to keep the spell.

The woman casts Scorching ray. Raven fails her attack of opportunity (doesn’t even hit an image) and is hit for 16 damage.

One half orc fails his attack, the other one Cleaves through both of Lormand’s men.

Lormand and his guys.
Siobhan
Niccolo
Raven
Ceshil, swordmen, warforged
Half orcs, shifter (gone) and woman
Stulgar < ------

Damage: Raven 16 hit points.]

ooc: Rystil posted while I was making the round. Feel free to change Siobhan's actions. Probably after resolving Stulgar's turn we'll wait until Manzanita or Rystil are back; as I said in the first post, I'd prefer not to DM with only two active players.
 

Bront

The man with the probe
OOC: Just change to Magic Stone as the sub spell. She can aid another once she figures out who to aid.
 



Bront

The man with the probe
OOC: Fine, cast Magic Stone then, see if I care :p (seriously, go for it. I figured a wolf running around for 2 rounds would have been pretty usefull, but it's your character.)

ooc: ok, Siobhan has three magic pebbles in her hand and doesn't have to make the Concentration check, but she still has to make the Balance check.

Stulgar jumps on the small rowboat east of him, bounce back to the piers, and strike at the shifting images of the adventurer’s leader, not knowing very well who to hit. He half closes his eyes and trust his lick, and he’s rewarded when the axe is suddenly stopped and a woman’s cry resounds in the piers. Stulgar is surprised she survived the hit: something must have delayed or partially deflected the axe, or she’d be dead.

”Delay them!” says Lormand, pointing at the warforged. He studies the fight between your group and the woman and her half-orcs, as Orerreth prepares for a running jump.

[ooc: The direct route for Stulgar called for two attacks of opportunity, but he didn’t mention anyone, so I realized Bront must have been thinking on jumping on the small boat and then stepping back to the piers. He got lucky and hit the real image.

Everyone else just moved.

Initiative:

Lormand and his guys.

Manzanita

First Post
Raven's not quite ready to die. She moves 30 feet north while sheathing her sword. Then she'll proceed to pull out her potion of CLW and drink it.
 

Rystil Arden

First Post
(OOC: So there's nine guys all on Siobhan--zounds! Total defense time--hopefully that will help)

*It is all that Siobhan can do to avoid being skewered by the many attackers as she tries to take a small step towards the edge of the boat closest to brother, hoping to be less flanked there.*

Niccolo - human male swashbuckler

"I have no quarrel with you," Niccolo says to the half-orc, "But I am afraid we must have that crystal -- you have no idea what trouble it's going to bring on you, even if you get away from here. Stand aside!"

He pauses a moment to see if the man will do so, and if not, attacks him with his rapier.

Niccolo’s appeal to reason are lost on the half orc, who shrugs the fencer’s rapier wound and hit him with his shoulder. Despite the momentum behind the blow, Niccolo manages to stay on the boat. Meanwhile the other half orc has taken the place of the woman, who scurries away and looks around desperate at the end of the barg she’s in. Stulgar takes a heavy blow from the half orc’s blade.

Meanwhile the warforged continue their relentless advance and threaten to overrun Lormand’s position. One of his men is downed, the others do what they can to repel them. Ceshil casts again a spell and jumps towards your positions, ending not too far away from Orerreth.

[ooc: Niccolo attacks and hits thanks to the Heroism spell, dealing 9 damage.
Raven moves north and drinks her potion.
I made the Balance check for Siobhan (see former posts). She passes it and full defends, shifting her position.
The warforged continue their advance, some of them jumping into the water. One warforged downs one of Lormand’s men. Ceshil casts (again) Expeditious retreat and darts towards your position.
The woman Withdraws from Stulgar.
The half orc Niccolo wounded tries to Bull rush him. Niccolo fails his AoO, but wins the Str check.
The other half orcs attacks Stulgar, wounding him (13 damage)

Lormand and his guys.

Raven
Ceshil, swordmen, warforged

Raven will then drink her displacement potion, and move back into the fray, trying to cut off the woman's retreat. She'll draw her sword again as she moves.

Niccolo - male human swashbuckler

Niccolo steps sideways, to attempt to put the half-orc between him and any spells the woman might cast, and then resumes his attack.

Stulgar unleashes his fury on the half orc that wounded him in a series of brutal axe strokes that leave his armor dented and him reeling. Looks like he’s seriously wounded, but keeps going. Niccolo dispatches his own half orc with a quick flaming rapier thrust, opening a way for Raven, who closes on the woman.

Latharion finally managed to find where everyone went and appears at the eastern pier. All he can see is a lonely Cannith swordman guarding a chest (not the kind between the neck and the stomach)

Orerreth moves to engage Ceshil, while Lormand’s men do their best to delay the warforged rush.

[ooc: Latharion arrived this turn at a random location, and will be able to act from the next round on. Niccolo and Raven acted this turn, but I’m still waiting for Siobhan’s actions.
