Tianchao Wangguo Chapter 1: Calm before the storm
- Thread starter Ariakor
- Start date
The lookout detects Lin Xu as she is still 20 ft. distant from him in the woods. He calls out in alarm. Jian Guo and Shadow are equally distant from him, but still on the other side of the temple building (which means an additional 25 ft. of movement to reach the lookout).
[ooc: you can moove through the bamboo grove at half your speed. the terrain around the temple is clear, only the last 20 ft. are covered with bamboo. The lookout readies his bow and prepares to fire at Lin Xu. Initiative order:
Lin Xu - 24
Lookout - 17
Shadow - 16
Jian Guo - 7
Lin Xu: do you want to charge him? roll for attack and damage and post your results
Shadow can't charge at the moment because the panther still has to round the temple (and would also be moving along the narrow side containing the temple entrance)]

[ooc: Can't Jian Guo move unimpeded trough the bamboo?]
Jian Guo moves around the corner of the temple to get a clear line of sight towards the lookout, then she casts Produce Flame on the man. Shadow moves beside her, but doesn't advance further towards the man than he needs to to be able to charge the next round.

[Jian Guo: right, being a druid, you can move iwthout restricition by the bamboo. I forgot that. you can hurl the flames with a ranged touch attack. roll and tell me the results. now you are in a good position to see the lookout. the horses are about 20 fet to your right behind the bamboo grove, the lookout now being 15 feet distant from you (still amid the bamboo).
Lin Xu: The startled lookout is still trying to draw his bow when you charge him, but abandons that thought and beginns drawing his scimitar as you attack. He is too startled to avoid your blow and your cut slashes across his right arm, severely wounding him.
Then he draws his sword and attacks, but you manage to easily sidestep his blow.

Like an angry spirit the flame hurtles through the bamboo, avoiding all obstacles in its path and splashes against the upper portion of the man's back, where it sears a large area of clothing and flesh underneath not covered by the man's leather armor. He screams in pain.
[ooc: ok, lets move on to the next round. Wha are Pan Chou and Guchiko doing?]

Guchiko waits to see if the man can be flushed out. If he can, she uses an elemental burst of water to knock him to the ground, hopefully so they can question him and figure out what he's doing here.
OOC - Ready an action to cast elemental burst, water version, when the man comes out of cover.
