The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter I

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Meekis starts at the sight of the lizardmen, and crouches and hides himself in the hedgerow. Concentrating on the hedgerow twenty feet ahead of him he focuses his magic to make the sound of a growling hungry wolf in hopes the lizardmen will flee.*

OOC: Hide check at +10 barring situational modifiers and casting ghost sound.

 

[Jarval]

"Hey! Stop that right now!" Andreas yells at the scaled humanoid. He mutters a few words, and a bolt of light streaks forwards towards the closest humanoid.

(Casting magic missile on the closest lizardman.)

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo halfling druid

"Ah," Drogo looks shocked, "diplomacy, schlplomacy..." he says, before beginning his incantions.

OOC: Casts entangle on the lizardmen, or beyond them, carefull not to catch the party in the hedge.

 

[Verbatim]

<The prior night>

Pulling the violin away from him, Ayden felt better, but knew that his heart had not been in the performance. His mind was drifting between the notes of the music, and the unspoken worries he had for the upcoming journey.

Nodding his thanks to Andreas for his praise of the song, Ayden walked to the bar and began to rewrap the violin with the soft cloth inside of the case.

As the barkeep offered his praise as well, Ayden smiled in thanks and turned to face the mage.

"The trip and the Sheriff's words have distracted me I think. Hopefully, Finder was busy elsewhere and did not hear the disservice I did to his violin tonight. However, the hour grows late my friend, and I am sure that tomorrow will hold many challanges for us."

Heading to the common area where Mosslime was already sleeping, Ayden unrolled the sleeping mat the inn provided and settled in, falling asleep almost as soon as his head rested on the pillow.

<Morning>

Opening his eyes as the sun began its rise, Ayden knew that dawn was approaching and his time to pray to Finder was near. Smiling to himself, Ayden remembered the days when he would just be returning home from an evening out with his collegues. Pushing those thoughts away, Ayden opened his heart and mind to Finder, and as music began to fill his ears, he knew he was no longer alone.

~Well, a funny thing happened to me and Moss last night...~

<On the road>

As a female scream cut through the personal thoughts of all walking together, Ayden quickly began looking to see where the cry came from.

Spotting the two halflings, as well as their attackers, Ayden's first instinct was to get them away from there as quickly as possible. Grabbing the silver medallion of his faith, Ayden called upon Finder for aid and shouted his prayer for all to hear.

"By Finder's will, you shall STOP!"

(OOC: Command Turn attempt)

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Mosslime: Finhead Saurial/Male

At the sound of the screams Mosslime looks for Ayden’s familiar face in the crowd of the nice people from the night before. Upon finding him he turns in search of the screaming and finds the lizardfolk threatening the halflings. Unaccustomed to the chaos of combat he wait for orders from Ayden and the others.

 

[Chaos Apostate]

Caelbryn likes to consider himself open minded, but nonetheless he is fairly certain that hulking lizardfolk attacking halflings and burning their farms fall fairly soundly on one side of his world-view. He moves to the cover of the hedge and shoots whichever lizardman is closer to the halflings with his shortbow.

OOC: Going for a sneak attack. +3 to hit, 1d6 damage + another 1d6 if I get the sneak attack. Hide check +7.

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity D'Agnacia, human paladin 1

[I don't want to backtrack too much, so this is the important part of what I missed

Chastity nods to Caelbryn and accepts his hand graciously. She dances quite well, obviously court-bred, and when the song is finished, she does a small curtsy, laughing a bit at the customs in such a strange place.

~Present time~

Chastity draws her greatsword smoothly and shouts, "By Torm's hand!" She will charge the nearest lizardfolk, and continue attacking until all are dead, or something else stays her. If she can't charge, she will move to engage. [without the charge: 30' movement, +4 attack, 2d6+5 damage, 19-20/x2; I don't know the charge rules well enough to give you the actual stats.]

 

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan left the rooms after Ayden performance without giving any comments.

The day after, he was up pretty early. He was already packing his mule when the first one have wake up. Druing the march, he starts to walk naturally in the front of the group.

As the group spot the lizardmen, he take his bow and put an arrow at his string, but do not pull it yet. When he finally see Caelbryn shooting, he take a fast aim and shoot.

OOC: Sielwoodan will shoot at the same target as Caelbryn if he has hit and his target is still up. If not, he will shoot at the lizard the most far from the two flings, to be sure not to hit them.

 

[Majin]

Calenthang moves to engage the closest lizardman. He swings, tearing the creature in front of him in half! (Crit - 17 damage) The remaining lizardfolk reel back in shock at the devastating carnage wrought before them. Both Caelbryn and Sielwoodan's arrows whiz by the lizardman standing near the halflings. Calling out to her god as she gets close enough to attack, Chastity brings down her greatsword with skill and force. Her blow slices deep into the closest lizardman, also killing it straight out. (10 damage)

Ayden presents his holy symbol to the remaining lizardman, yelling for it to stop. The scaly humanoid, bolstered by rage (and a little stupidity) by the death of it's companions hisses at the cleric's symbol, paying it no mind. As a result of Drogo's spell, roots from the hedgerow spring out of the ground and rush towards the lizardman. They pass it and move on for a ways before bursting up from the ground, trying to entangle it. Shrugging the grasping vines off, the lizardman raises it's shortspear preparing to attack.

The sound of a growling and snarling wolf as a result of Meekis' spell is heard throughout the area. Again, this does not seem to faze the bloodlusting lizardman as it stabs at Chastity with it's weapon. The blow glances off her armor though, not being able to break through. Andreas' magic missle hits the creature, detonating in a small burst of light. (2 damage) All the while Mosslime looks on at the battle, looking to Ayden for guidance on what to do.

(OOC: Seonaid - I may be mistaken but I think your damage with the greatsword should be +4. With two handed weapons I believe you round down the 1 1/2 damage you do with them, and I can't seem to find another reason for the extra 1 damage to be there. Correct me if I'm wrong. )

 

[Chaos Apostate]

OOC: If the remaining lizardman is still standing when Caelbryn next gets a chance to act, he will go for another sneak attack with his bow.
