[QUOTE="Orvallon, post: 1668567, member: 19212"] [b]Round 4 - Cleft Chin - Complete[/b] Positions at start of round: Aaldar - at top of stairs, looking down into common room Kaltesis - at bottom of stairs, facing horrific lackey Aidan - 20' W from main door, 10' from N wall, facing the same horrific lackey Oxana - 5' from south wall, 15' from kitchen door Larris - 10'S 10'W from main door Ari'mone - 10'W from main door, 15' from N wall, facing the same horrific lackey as Aidan and Kaltesis Calimorton - Near W wall, 20' N of kitchen door Toby - beside Aidan, facing horrific lackey Dora - 20'E of kitchen door, cowering, crying, and screaming, covered in blood. Erkenbrand and Frea - centerpoint of room, or near enough. Mrs. Calimorton - ? Init Order: Kaltesis 18 Larris 15 Ari'mone 14 Oxana 13 Aaldar 12 Calimorton 11 Foe 10 Toby 9 Dora 9 Erkenbrand & Frea 8 Aidan 6 Mrs. Calimorton 3 Kaltesis calls upon the power of the Lord of the Sun, his blade flashing with the light of day as he brings it down upon the unholy thing standing before him. The gleaming blade burns as it smites through bone, and flesh, and mail. (18 points) the thing collapsing in a welter of stink and corruption, the green balefire in it's eyes fading. The follow on strike of the handaxe, while well aimed, is irrelevant. Larris retraces his steps, dashing the length of the room, back to his table, where he reaches for his wine. The swift halfling monk also rushes the length of the room, and into the kitchen, where he finds the savory smells of stew and baking bread have been mixed revoltingly with the smell of blood and corruption. A woman, who was probably pleasant enough in appearance in life, is sprawled by a table, her headless corpse lying in a heap, a heavy cleaver by it's outstretched hand. The missing head, it's features locked in an expression of shock, and fear, is held in the hand of a misshapen horror, one of four that are in the room, all wearing chain shirts and carrying longswords and bucklers. Their eyes gleam with green balefire. The one holding the head looks at the halfling, and a rasping chuckle comes from it. "Come for a snack, little man? Sorry, the kitchen is closed." Oxana makes her way to the girl's side, and her sobs quiet a bit. The celestial notes, after a moment, that Dora doesn't seem to be wounded. The blood covering her isn't hers. Aalder runs across the tavern as well, and gets to a place where he can see into the kitchen. Calimorton covers the remaining few paces to the kitchen door, looks in. What he sees makes his face go pale, "Molly...?" Then he moves into the room, cutlass held in a white knuckled fist. The four horrors in the kitchen move to meet the new arrivals, their movements jerky, as malformed as their twisted bodies. Yet their blades move with fell efficiency. Ari'mone ducks under one, but a second blade slides along his back, drawing blood, even as the wound begins to rot an burn (11 points slashing, 2 special) The third horror swings its blade at Calimorton, drawing a gasp of pain from the innkeeper as it bites into his side. The fourth, unable to reach the battle due to the width of the kitchen, reaches down and picks up the hot pot of stew from the large fireplace, and prepares to throw it. Toby moves, still holding his dagger, carefully avoiding the various bloodstains and such on the floor, moving to where Oxana and Dora are. He says nothing. Dora looks up at Oxana, and says, through tearstreaked green eyes. "They killed her...they killed her...they...he...reached for me...and Molly swung a cleaver at him...and they...killed her!" Erkenbrand and Frea thunder into the kitchen just behind Calimorton...but they find that they cannot both enter the immediate fray because Ari'mone and Calimorton take up 2/3 of the available room. Still, Erkenbrand is able to swing once, and his blade bites into his opponent's chest. (11 points) (Making an assumption that Erkenbrand would attack given the option) Aidan's desire to heal Oxana is somewhat delayed by her movements. He ends up having to cross the tavern almost diagonally to reach her side. [/QUOTE]
