Tianchao Wangguo Chapter 1: Calm before the storm

[Rhialto]

Pan Chou maneuvers to be in rangeof the man with the bow, and the last guard. (Hopefully that's a 5' step.) He faces his opponents a dark smile on his face. "Strike of Angry Heaven, Fourth Degree!" he declaims, then strikes at the man who attacked him last time. (Power Attack +8 to damage, -4 to hit, Melee Attack +5, 20 +5 =25, Threat 12 +5 =17)

Assuming Pan Chou fells him, he will try to cleave the man with the bow. (11 +5 =16)

Combat Round Two

A small flame appears in Guchiko's hands as she finishes the spell. With a flick of her fingers and a quick prayer to the ancestral ghosts of this place for guiadance the small, almost humanoid flame leaps through the meleetowards the hooded figure. But before it can reach him, the shadows around the man seem to move the dark folds of the cloak and block it before it touches his skin.

The Entangle spell causes the grasses and roots around the buildgin's foundation to grow and beginns to hamper everyone's movement. [ooc: pan chou, lin need to make ref saves, i think; pan chou's guard barely makes his save, the bow man is entangled and the hooded man is standing inside the building, but seems to have made his save as well]

The hooded man beginns to speak again in the dark language of the shadowlands. From the shadows of the buildings, strands of smoke and darkness seem to tear away and curl just above his open palm, slithering and roling like unholy fire. "The powers of darkness will comsume you!" he utters in a hate-filled voice and motions his hand towards Guchiko. Slowly, but steadyly the ball of dark flames moves towards her. She barely manages to break away from the Sphere, but it still touches her exposed right arm and leaves a hot, burning mark upon it (for 4 damage, you made your ref save).

Meanwhile the remaining guard is unable to parry Pan Chou's devastating strike and is severely wounded as the greatsword's heavy blade slices through leather and clothing and leaves a deep, gashing wound across the man's arm. He almost looses the grip on his blade, but still manages to stay on his feet, even though his face clearly shows the pain the wound inflicted. He lifts his sword and tries to hit him, but Pan Chou side steps his strike easily.

[ooc: Arishan will continue to attack, i presume?]

 

[Rhialto]

Pan Chou turns to the archer and attacks him. "Strike of Angry Heaven, Fourth Degree!" he cries. (Power Attack +8 to damage, -4 to hit, Melee Attack, Attack 15 +5= 20, dmg 2d6+14)

 

[Nephtys]

She looks at the magistrate apologetically, "The Spirits are agitated at this place, they are hard to control."

She dismisses the spell and casts Produce Flame on the nearest enemy, calling her panther forwards.

ooc: I changed the action to Produce Flame instead of Entangle, somewhere on the last page...

The Entangle spell causes the grasses and roots around the buildgin's foundation to grow and beginns to hamper everyone's movement. [ooc: pan chou, lin need to make ref saves, i think; pan chou's guard barely makes his save, the bow man is entangled and the hooded man is standing inside the building, but seems to have made his save as well]

Save succeeded, I suppose: 17+7=24.

Arishan Tüen Li

[ooc: No he will also cast resist taint on himself, defensivly]


"Spirits protect your servant from the poison"
he calls for their help.

Combat Round 2 - Revised

[ooc: oh, sorry, my bad. i missed that when i checked everyone's actions. then just ignore it for your characters, please.]

The scarred man draws another arrow from his quiver and fires at arishan again, hitting him for another 6 points of damage. Arishan grimaces in pain [barely making his save] and the spirits of air and water answer his call. For an instance, a human shaped translucent form can be seen swirling around him, then it crashes inward like a wave disappearing inside his body. a faint, wet shimmer can be seen hovering just above his clothing [for the spell's duration].

Meanwhile the panther charges into the melee and attacks Pan Chou's remaining opponent, leaping at him with claws and fangs. His claws tear at the terrified man's clothing, who raised his blade just in time to deflect the bite aimed at his throat. The panther deals 5 damage.

[OOC: After dealing 13 damage to her enemy in round 1, Lin Xu would like to know what happened to him, and whether she can go engage another enemy or not.] :\

OOC: If there was no entangle spell, then I never left the area, and made an attack against the archer as I altered my post to explain.

 

[Ariakor]

Pan Chou strikes the archer just after he fired his bow. But the man saw his follow-up attack just in time, dropping to a knee, for a short moment falling into the Snake parting the Grass -Evasive stance, and deflects the huge blade with the broad middle section of his bow.

The Lin charges him, taking him by surprise when he was still concentrating on Pan Chou, and wounds him. The hit was not enough for a really sevious wound, so it seems, as the man flinches and turns his attention towards his new attacker. With the two other guards out of the way, the scarred man is now the only one standing in the doorway blocking access to the hooded spellcaster.

[OOC: End of Round two, now starting round three, i hop i haven't forgotten anyone now]

The hooded man points towards the sphere of unholy energy still hovering near Guchiko and motions for it to follow her movement. Again, she barely escapes the stinking, black and green flames, but the heat coming from the ball still deals 3 points of damage to her. Then he retreats further into the darkness of the temple.
