The Test of Time

Combat Begins

[Surprise Round]

Soen is times his mudball right, but unfortunately misses.

The hippogriff flies straight at Soen picking him out as the smallest prey. But it too is unable to find it's mark [Atk 11, miss].

[Round 1]

Elrion is close enough to Soen to charge the hippogriff. His longsword flies out of its sheath as he moves. His strike is quick clean and successful. [Atk 15, hits, dmg 12]

Once again Soen has an opportunity to attack if he chooses.

Soen Morrowsong - Faen Loresong Magister 1 (AC 12; Hp 8; Spells 3-0, 2-1st)

Grumbling - Why do I always look like lunch to these flying creatures, that just gets so annoying sometimes. If I wasn't so flustered with this thing breathing down my neck I would not have missed with my first shot. So let’s take a step back and try this again, shall we.

After taking a 5' step back magical energy again coalesces around Soen as again he lets a Mudball fly.

Mudball=12, Damage 1d8+1=9 - Blinded for 1 round if hits.

(ooc: Out of 1st level spells after this one. And dang it!!! Ok roll max damage twice in a row and I will probably miss again, damn my luck.)

[Round 1 con't]

Soen steps away from the creature's beak, trying to get a moment to launch another mudball. Unfortunately in the heat of combat he is unable to find his mark. [ooc: as its not a touch attack, it unfortunately misses. Remember though that you can use 3 0th level slots to cast a 1st level spell.]

Shi-Torob is able to get close enough to the creature to bring his swordaxe into play, but is unable to connect.

K'Trinaxes can't get a clear shot at the hippogriff because his rather large friend is in the way, his shot misses.

Rurrahr's javelin flies way off the mark. [Atk 4, miss]

The hippogriff turns on Elrion trying to bite back at the one who bite it so hard. Once again it's attacks fail to find purchase. Seeing the futility of remaining where it is, the creature takes to wing again, opening itself up to an attack from both Elrion and Shi-Torob.

Elrion's blade once again finds its mark as the creature attempts to flee into the air. As the creature thrashes to get past, his sword digs deeper inflicting a mortal wound. [hit 24, confirm 25, dmg 26, dying hippogriff]

Milton and Ou Rathlin stand around watching the thing crash to the ground nearby.

[ooc:Wow I really gotta start fudging these rolls if any of the enemies are going to last more than 1 round.]

 

[Zoatebix]

"We should bury or burn the corpse quickly to get the scent of blood and death off the wind as soon as possible." Shi-Torob pauses as an amused grin spreads across his face. He nearly laughs as he muses: "Hmmm. I wonder..."

Do I know whether Hippogriffs are good eating or at least edible? If they are, he's definately suggesting it, even though he won't have much...Knowledge (Dangerous Beasts) (1d20+3=19)

[ooc:Should we just describe actions and have you do all combat rolls in the future, then?]

Rurrahr Litorian Unfettered

Rurrahr turns to Elrion and claps him on the back a toothy grin on his face. "Damn fine sword work sir. It is an honor to fight along side you." He looks to the sky for any more foes, perhaps a slight look of disappointment on his face. He shrugs and goes to find his javelin. He looks over his shoulder at the fallen beast. "I might be able to get a decent roast off it if anyone favors fresh meat tonight?"

OOC: Profession Hunter check +3 to see if any decent meat can be salvaged.

 

[Eonthar]

Elrion Kyrik - Human Mage Blade

"Thank-you for your kind words, my friend. Would you believe that this is the first time I have ever actually swung my swords in a real combat?" Elrion asks, looking a little sheepish. Slowly, as the realization of what he just did hits him, a big wide grin spreads across his face.

"Do you really think these things are edible?"

 

[Zoatebix]

Upon hearing Rurrahr and Elrion's remarks, Shi-Torib lets a sonorous guffaw escape his lips. As silly as it sounds, Rurrahr, you've read my mind! You're right about Elrion as well - would that I kept my head about me as well as he did this combat. I'll have the wisdom that comes with age and the Shu-Rin someday, though."

 

[Scotley]

Rurrahr

A Elrion's words Rurrahr's grin widens. "Do not be modest my friend, you are the hero today. Shi-Torob and I will prove ourselves next time. Anyway, with a little care I think we can make a fine meal of your kill. No sense letting good meat waste."

OOC: Rurrahr will take his time--taking 10 or even 20 to make sure he gets some good cuts of meat for his companions. He will also make a small 'trophy' of sorts for Elrion from some feathers, claws and hair from the tail to be presented later in front of all as they enjoy the meat.

 

[Elocin]

Soen

Hmmm, well this is just no good. Some Magister I turned out to be when I can't even hit something right in front of me. I know in my travels I have slacked some in my studying of magic but I did not know to what extent I have slacked off. I will have to pray to Amaethon, goddess of luck, to hoepfulyl change things around. Hmmm, maybe a send a prayer off to Anu, god of Magic wouldn;t hurt either.

Milton Redhelm, Human Warmain 1

Milton smiles at the thought of eating. He was always hungry, and the thought of trying something new was invigorating.
