Tianchao Wangguo Chapter 1: Calm before the storm

[Gez]

Lin Xu draws both of her swords and move to a position where she can charge at one of the armed men.

[Scimitars? Is that a weapon she's already seen in the hands of Shadowlands marauders?]

 

[Ariakor]

[ooc: everyone roll new initiative please]
Lin Xu: You recognize scimitars as a weapon often used by the Pirates from the islands in the northern part of the Sea of Dragons, as well as from severals provinces along the coast where they are considered traditional weapons for guards of all kinds. Sometimes they have been found in the hands of Shadowlands marauders, but usually after they took it from their former owners. The marauders usually prefer heavier axes over swords of any kind.

 

[Gez]

New Init: 6+5=11.

 

[Rhialto]

OOC: 14 +2 = 16.

Pan Chou takes the Iron Hedgehog Three Corner Defense Stance (Expertise +4 to AC, -4 to Attack). "What do we not understand? Please tell us. We are trying to stop the assaults on holy shrines--are you also?"

Arishan Tüen Li

OOC Init 18 + 2 = 20

"Oh wise and noble spirits allow your pupil to see what his mortal eyes in their incapability can`t see"

 

[Ariakor]

OOC: Init for your enemies is:
19 for the hooded person
15 for the man speaking
13 for the two in front
To Pan Chou, the man says: "No, but you are in our way.STep asside while you still can."
Arishan: a quick first glance shows signs of taint on the speaker and concentrated on the hooded figure like a protective aura. the other two don't seem to have been more than superficially touched by taint.

If you want to say something, you cna do that now, otherwise i'll start the combat then.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

OOC - Guchiko's initiative is a total of 4.

"Your evil will not stand!" she calls to them as she releases her water-born power.

 

[Rhialto]

Pan Chou smiles. "That we cannot do. We are all sworn to protect this land from any who would despoil its treasures. Now face, justice!" He strides forward to attack one of the two guards. OOC: Roll 19 +5 (+3 Strength, +1 Wpn Focus, +1 Sword) to hit. 24, and if it hits, a threat. (Crit roll--20)
