The Seven Realms - Chapter The First - A Curse of Storms and Green Eyes

[Orvallon]

Round 2 - The Cleft Chin

Positions at start of round:
Aidan - 10' from main door, with Toby behind him, horrors before and to his flanks.
Oxana - 5' from South wall.
Larris - about 10' in front of Oxana, between her and where Erkenbrand and Frea battle the leader of the horrors
Erkenbrand and Frea - flanking the leader near the fireplace.
Ari'mone - 40' from the main door, which is open.

Init Order:

Foe 16
Larris 15
Ari'mone 14
Oxana 13
Foe 10
Erkenbrand & Frea 8
Aidan 6

The leader of the horrors turns upon Erkenbrand, hissing. "So I'll kill you, then finish off the winged wonder." His blade flashes twice, the first biting into the horseman, again the wounds curling smoking, a smell of decay and rot in the air. (12 slashing, 3 special) The second blow sails over the Jord's head. To the dismay of the Jordheimers, the wounds inflicted upon the horror seem to be closing...

Larris charges nearly the length of the tavern, running past Erkenbrand, as the Jord staggers under the blow, his bastard swordgleaming in an arc that intersects the shoulder of the horror to Aidan's right, sending scraps of chain flying, but again no blood is spilt. (9 points)

 

[Rayex]

Oxana - Female Half-Celestial Bard

Oxana invokes the powers of her voice and starts singing, trying to help her allies. She will also get out her wands from her bag.


OOC: Activates Inspire Courage, giving all allies in the room +1 on attack, +1 on damage and +1 saving throws against charm and fear.

 

[wizardneedsfood]

Aidan takes a step back, trying to keep between the horros and Toby. He reaches down and pulls out his mace, taking a swing at the horror in front of him.

OOC: The attack should be +9 at 1d8+4 damage thanks to Oxana's buff.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Kaltesis Ghoulbane Male Human Ranger 2 / Paladin 3 / Cleric 1

Kaltesis was peacifully resting on the second floor of the inn. Suddently, he started hraring a commotion downstairs. He jumped up, took his gear and started heading down.

[OCC can I feel the presence of the undead with the Nemesis feat?]

With his longsword in his right hand and his hand axe inthe left, Kaltesis enters the room and yells: How dare your foul kind step under a roof I am in?

[OCC: Where is my character coming in? He will attack the closest opponent he can. Also, Holy radiance should give the nasties 10' from my character 1d4 damage]

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Erkenbrand grunts as the blade strikes him, but doesn't let up for a second, launching a series of coordinated attacks with Frea.

OOC: Okay, last round Frea only brought up the Charge aura, now he's brought up the Attack aura. All friendlies are at +1 to hit with melee attacks. Erkenbrand attacks twice at +15/+10 for 1d8+5 damage each time. Frea attacks at +10 for 1d8+3 damage

 

[Scotley]

Larris Human Fighter

Larris readies sword and hammer to fully engage his foe.

ooc: sword at +11/+6 (with boost from Frea and Oxanna) for 1d10+6 19-20/x2

Light Hammer +9 1d4+3 off-hand 20/x2

 

[Acid_crash]

"Hey Aiden, leave one for me," Ari'mone yells as he see's the clashing through the open door and rushes forward as fast as possible. He wants to charge into one attacking Aiden, one easiest spotted from his position, and when he strikes he is going to try to inflict the creature with the Touch of Golden Ice.

I hope he leaves me one, he always gets all the fun

ooc - attack roll should be +10 with charge, -2 AC, and if he gets flanking on one, then it's +12. Damage 1d6+1, Touch of Golden Ice: Fort dc 14 1d6 dex/2d6 dex.

ooc2 - do you want me to put the attack bonuses and stuff here with each action?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

OOC: Acid_Crash, don't forget auras: You get +1 on attacks and +3 to damage when charging.

 

[Orvallon]

ooc2 - do you want me to put the attack bonuses and stuff here with each action?

ooc: If you like, yes. I tend to doublecheck anyway, but it can save me time. And I'm lazy.

The leader of the horrors turns upon Erkenbrand, hissing. "So I'll kill you, then finish off the winged wonder." His blade flashes twice, the first biting into the horseman, again the wounds curling smoking, a smell of decay and rot in the air. (12 slashing, 3 special) The second blow sails over the Jord's head. To the dismay of the Jordheimers, the wounds inflicted upon the horror seem to be closing...

Larris charges nearly the length of the tavern, running past Erkenbrand, as the Jord staggers under the blow, his bastard swordgleaming in an arc that intersects the shoulder of the horror to Aidan's right, sending scraps of chain flying, but again no blood is spilt. (9 points)

The sight of a halfling monk leaping into the fray could be considered a comic one, but as Ari'mone charges, his spirit rises from the exhortations and somewhat impolite advice Frea is handing out to all those on his side, and his foot connects savagely with the back of the horror in front of Aidan, staggering it forward. (8 points) The horror's eyes blaze green, as a sheen of golden ice starts to spread from the place the monk's foot struck, the thing visibly slowing down.

In the next instant, an angelic voice, singing a song of valor and glory is heard strong and clear, the evil rumble of the storm seeming to recede for a moment, as Oxana raises her voice, and hands, in song, before digging for a wand in her gear, still singing. (Need you to pick one wand that you dug out.)

The horror that Ari'mone kicked hisses out, "Little boys shouldn't play where they aren't wanted." He turns and swings his blade at the hard to catch halfing, and simply ends up marking the floor with a missed swing.

The horror that Larris struck whirls, almost tripping his malformed body in the process, and swings at the heavily armored man, the blade bites deep, finding a joint in the armor of the arm holding the hammer, drawing blood, the grievous wound burning with foul corruption, almost as if instantly gangrenous. (21 normal, 4 special)

The last of the three horrors by the door swings his blade at the redoubtable cleric as Aidan reaches for his mace, but the blade whistles over Aidan's head as he ducks.

All the horrors seem to heal somewhat from the wounds dealt them thus far.

Erkenbrand and Frea again act in perfect tandem, their blades flashing, Erkenbrand's first swing slipping under the somewhat clumsy guard of the creature, slashing a line along it's leg. (8 points) His second blow is caught on the creature's blade, but Frea slashes at the thing's unguarded side, a well-aimed chop, that nonetheless seems to have no special effect (5 damage) The green balefire in the thing's eyes, seem to dim, as it says, "Bloody hell, I'm about to be killed again, and it's the wrong winged wench...curse the luck."

Aidan, despite the time spent to avoid being spitted on a horror's blade, finally gets his mace unshipped, and takes a hard swing at the horror between he and Ari'mone, connecting firmly with the thing's rotten jaw, sending shards of bone and flesh flying. (12 points) The thing, already largely covered in golden, faintly glowing ice, staggers again, mumbling something unintelligible with it's mangled mouthparts. The balefire in it's eyes grows dim, as if whatever malign evil animates the malformed thing is near to fading. As Aidan steps back, pressing Toby back behind him, both the flanking horrors stab at him with eager glee...the blade on his right glancing off his armor, the one to his left slashing along his ribs...leaving a line of blood and rotting corruption. (9 slashing, 2 special)
