The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

[Dhes]

Ooc: back from sick leave, on with the battle..

Back tracking a bit:
Dunstand looks at Ayden as he offers to take point with him. “I’ll be glad of you company.” Moving down the tunnel he speaks quietly to Ayden, “ Don’t let you self be troubled by the words of others, if you say that there is a angel for us to find down here, than I believe you and we will find here.”

Here and now:
Some what stunned by the sight of the well armored Grimlocks, Dunstand fails to note the danger on entering the chamber. Pulled back by Teleri’s shout he quickly throws his dagger to the approaching creatures.

(+7 Throw, Dagger, 1d4+1)

Calenthang just stays quiet as the others discuss their doubts of Ayden's vision. Naturally, the warrior would not question the heart of his revered friend, but does not speak-up in defense to insure the priest faces his inner trials alone and at his best.
When Teleri screams out at the on-rushing grimlocks, Calenthang rolls his eyes.
I'm crazy when I kill evil, but she's just fervent... he spits to the side and sets himself up to meet the grimlocks' charge.

 

[Majin]

Before the grimlock guards descend upon the party, Teleri takes aim with her bow and lets fly with an arrow at the closest grimlock, but the projectile ends up being deflected by its armor. The grimlocks meet with the party quickly striking fast with their weapons.

Ayden is able to dodge ones attack, as well as Drogo. Sarlis' words go unanswered except for the whoosh of an axe barely missing his neck. Broddy luckily does not have one concentrating on him as of yet. Everyone else is struck by the attacking guards. (Dunstand - 8 damage, Calenthang - 11 damage, Teleri - 9 damage, Sielwoodan - 9 damage)

Calenthang cleanly slices through his foe's armor, slicing deep into its belly, but it only slows the creature for a moment. (Crit - 18 damage) Ayden is similarly successful with landing a blow with his hammer on the one attacking him. (2 physical ~ 6 shock) Both of Sielwoodan's shots bury themselves into the grimlock facing him, as he quickly skirts back a few steps to give himself the shot. (15 damage)

(Sarlis - Diplomacy failed)

Shield and spear in hand Drogo defends himself against his own grimlock attacker. Stabbing his spear at it he does not manage to score a hit, but Rex does, moving to attack Calenthang's focus. (6 damage) Broddy's crossbow bolt imbeds itself into the nearest grimlock. (Drogo's target) (7 damage) Dunstand takes a step back and throws his dagger, but to no avail, as it misses its mark.

Initiative:

Teleri - 20
Grimlock Temple Guards (6) - 18
Calenthang - 17
Ayden - 16
Sielwoodan - 15
Sarlis - 14
Drogo - 11
Broddy - 11
Dunstand - 10

 

[DarkMaster]

Sarlis staying very calm, looks at the Teleri. "Thanks, now we will have to kill those poor lost soul."
"Death you have choosen, Death you will get"

"I don't like this but they are leaving me no choice" he thinks as he calmly dodges the axe.

Taking his bow he aims at the closest creature, letting his intuition guide his shot. (he will take a 5 foot step if causing an AoO)

+7 Ranged, MW Composite long bow str+2, 1d8+2, 20/x3

He ready an action to drop his bow and defend himself with his spiked gauntlet would a Grimlock attack him in melee

(AC 18 without his shield. but not considered unarmed)

 

[Verbatim]

As the grimlock shook off the effect of the hammer's shock, Ayden knew that he had to continue to press the advantage for as long as he could. Swinging the hammer down low, Ayden hoped to shatter the beast's knee to disable it from the fight.

~It would also give the others more breathing room as well...~

To mask the sound of his strike some, Ayden shouted to any who would listen.

"The stones...use the stones..."

 

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan doesn't slow down his action and continue to shot his arrows at the Grimlock on him, while moving back, in hope that time, the creature will fall.

OOC:
2 arrows used in that combat.
Damage taken: 9 hp

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

Drogo grimaces as the fight commences. "I'll never get used to this." he mutters.

He continues to attack with his spear. AC 19, spear: +6 1d4+1 20/x2

 

[kirinke]

Ok, so arrows aren't good right now... Teleri thinks, snatching a thunderstone out of her pocket and tossing it at the feet of the nearest grimlock. When that takes effect, she'll draw StormArmour and get decidedly unpleasant with this lot. She shot a look back at Sarlis.

"These guys only listen to the reason of bow, arrow, spell and blade!" she snapped, drawing the sword with a sharp, metallic hiss. It gleamed in the dim light, almost as if in sardonic agreement.

 

[Mimic]

Broddy will drop his crossbow and grab his staff as he moves in to flank the grimlock that Drogo and Rex are fighting.

 

[hippocrachus]

Remembering a time when Chastity committed to something as stupid as Sarlis had tried, Calenthang holds his remarks to himself.
This scum does not deserve redemption!
He continues to attack the grimlock in front of him, grudging it its ability to maintain standing with its bowls almost hanging out.
