The Test of Time

[Zoatebix]

Shi-Torob, Giant Champion of Death

Break them up, talk this through... here it goes! "Stop the nonsense, brother - no blow will land today!" Shi-Torob breaks cover and throws his weight forward in a mad dash, attempting to knock the nearer of the two humans back to where he can't reach the Dracha.

OOC: I'm either charging or moving to J11 (depending on whether or not the corner of the stall keeps me from moving in a straight line - does one draw a line from the corner of my space to a corner of his? Meh...) and bull rushing the human there to K10 or even into a stall in K/L9 (putting me in K10) if I roll 5 or more higher than he.

AC: 14 (12 if my action is ruled a charge), HP 12
Initiative, Bull Rush (1d20, 1d20+3=[12], [17, 3])
Oh shoot. I put a comma instead of a semi-colon. If I understand the notation right, that means that the d20 came up a 12 and then a 17. If I'm charging, the total for the bull rush is 22 instead of 20.

Looking into the middle of the marketplace Soen is surprised at what he sees. Most of the people seem to be feeling this particular area but there are several different beings coming to join the fray. Well now this is something that you don't normally see a giant and 2 humans are surrounding a Dracha and none of them look like they are friends. And now it seems that there are more people looking to join the fight. It looks like another Giant and a Litorian are the only one's who might have a level head as they seem to be interested in no blood being spilled and are concerned for the lives of others. The other creatures seem to be looking for a fight and have come prepared to draw blood and it might be better if I just wait and hold my actions and find out who is on whose side and then make the decision to join one or the other. I definitely don; want to wind up on the wrong side of the law as that would hamper my freedom to no end.

Init=9

Round 1

The giant standing just shy of 7 feet tall, with long brown hair tied behind her head with a golden cord wears heavy brigandine armor with gilt trim, giving her the appearance of someone important. She steps to the side far more deftly than you would expect from someone so large. Her greatsword comes in at a low angle aimed up at the dragon-man's midrift. The blade drives into his gut slicing upwards inflicting a mortal wound. The dracha drops to the ground bleeding profusely. She spits upon the dracha and says, "Thats what we do to spies in the Lands of the Diamond Throne, dragon-slave. Quick Tellen, Drey pick him up we're leaving."

As Shi-Torrob and Rurrahr rush in, they are astonished with the speed at which she struck and the brutality of the injury. The giantess turns to them and replies, "The Family of the Diamond Throne thanks you for your concern. This creature was a spy and needed to be dealt with." The two of you can tell that while she is acting important and authoritative, she does not feel like she has the authority here as she looks to her two human cohorts.

Ouch crit on the first hit of the game. Atleast none of you was the target. Rolls went like this:
Init: giant, dracha, Milton, Shi-Torrob, Elrion, Rurrahr, Soen, 2 humans, K'trinaxes. Rolled for those who havent posted.

Giant: used Opportunistic Strike and moved to flanking position. Rolled 29 to hit, 19 to confirm, 26 dmg. Dracha falls unconscious and bleeding.

post-combat, Shi-Torrob and Rurrah both made their Sense Motive checks with a 16 and a 20 vs. the giant's 7.

What a way to start

Shi-Torob, Giant Champion of Death

Shi-Torob breaks his stride mid-dash and skids a few feet before coming to a halt. "I spoke too soon - a blow certainly did land today." He slowly returns his javelin to its sheaf, "A marvelous blow at that!" He glances to one human, than the other, then back to the giantess. He makes sure his empty hands can be seen by all before speaking again.

"I am Shi-Torob. Perhaps we should wait for the guard to arrive - they're never far away on festival days, so they won't be long." He takes a few steps closer to the fallen dracha, trying to see if its truly beyond help.

How long has it been since the dragons' return? Would any of us have ever seen a dracha before?

 

[Lobo Lurker]

K'trinaxes dismisses his blade. ...it's over before it start, it seems. He goes to the dracha's side and looks up at the giantess. "In his current state, he might die of his wounds. Will you allow me to keep him from dying? Surely, even a spy has a right to a fair trial?" He looks at the two humans and then at the giantess giving them a thourough once-over, pausing a moment to stare at her 'assets.' everything is large, it seems. He jerks his eyes back to her face and awaits her response.

 

[Erekose13]

I should have stated that outright, no none of you have seen a dracha before except K'trinaxes. Though he has never interacted with one.

Rumors abound regarding the Dragon's Return though and they range from the Dramojh are back, to those who would deliver us from the giants have come at last. Everyone has heard atleast one story about the dragons, though not much about the dracha.

Milton on the other hand has heard of these dracha. He has heard that they are the dragon's ambassadors to the Diamond Throne and that supposedly the Emperess threw four dragons and their dracha out of the throne room.

 

[ender_wiggin]

Milton readies his weapon, but does nothing at the moment. The affair is not his business, and he prefers not to get involved without clearly examining the situation at hand.

Dracha are powerful, he remembers, but he's not exactly sure why. But if a fight breaks out...

 

[Eonthar]

Elrion also backs away, putting his back to the carts that are to the east side of the square. He sheathes both of his swords, and waits to see what is going to happen.

 

[Scotley]

Rurrahr Litorian Unfettered

So that's a dracha, I guess they aren't as tough as I heard. It seems the Giants are taking the threat to their rule seriously though. He begins mentally composing his next letter back to the tribal leader. This could be important, I wonder what will happen next? Rurrahr puts his weapon away, slings his shield on his back and waits to see what happens next. He takes careful note of how the Giantess and the humans with her are dressed. Are those uniforms of some sort?

Well that was not very entertaining at all, I thought the Dracha were supposed to be a lot tougher in battle than that. Mental note do not be on the wrong side of a giants sword as that was one powerful stroke. I think I will just hang around here for now and see what else happens and if need be when the guards show up I can come forth and give my witness to the short lived battle.
