[Uriel]

OoC:

ORDER OF TRAVEL:
GROLVUS (L),GENTARIA (R)
ARNGEN (L), VITRENE (R)
ENRAELA (L), WESELLU (R)
JIKULL (L), BROGARK (R)


That sound like it? Everyone let me know what weapons, ect...you have out, I'll assume primary Melee, if anyor crossbow in Jikull's case, unless you specify.


IC: Picking your way along the Old Forest Road, you meander South-Southeast at a fairly decent pace. Coming around a bend, you enter a slight depression in the Forest Floor, heavy Moss and Lichen covering the Boulders that line (and in a few cases, cause the re-routing of) the Old Forest Road. Suddenly, a loud sound to your rear resounds, something VERY heavy slipping from a Boulder to the forest floor. Ahead, Gentaria and Grolvus, as well as Enraela and Vitrene hear something big moving through the Rocks, while
Grolvus actually see a long blue-black form wending it's way amongst the Boluders there.
It is nearly covered from view, but he still made out a long scaly form.It lies aprox 30' away, the rear one a mere 20'...

Grolvus,Gentaria,Vitrene and Enraela have a Suprise Round.In the rear, Jikull sees a long Serpentine form, fangs bared and jagged horns lining it's head. The thing is some 3-40 feet long and stands about 7 feet high at it's head.It seems to have numerous short clawed-tipped legs, as well as a mouth lined with needle sharp Fangs.
It has a Suprise round, as only Jikull saw it.

The order is (s=Suprise action)

Brogark :24 (nat 20 roll)
Gentaria :23 <s>
Arngen :21
Front Monster :16
Enraela :12 <s>
Vitrene :11 <s>
Wesellu :10
Grolvus :9 <s>
Rear Monster :8 <s>
Jikull: 7 (rolled a 1,sorry)

However, suprise rounds go off first.
The Characters in the first 3 ranks (all except for Jikull and Brogark) are unaware of the Rear Monster, so their Suprise rounds can't affect it.

Gentaria, then Enraela, then Vitrene, then Grolvus act. The rear Monster acts, then Initiative begins as Normal.

OoC:I would prefer to have Jemal post first, so anyone 'seeing'him in another game that they play, please let him know of things here, if he doesn't see it himself soon. I'm off to sleep after a Nina Hagen Show we had last night, I'll be back/post later in the afternoon. Wow, a Real Fight! Brogark should be thrilled!!!

EDIT: Go ahead and email me your actions, Suprise for those with them and Round 1 for all. The Front Monster has two-thirds cover at this point. Only Jikull can act against the Rear Monster in the SUprise Round, then Brogark may as well (and he's #1 in the Initiatives).This should be fun.

 

[Serpenteye]

Vitrene curses to himself at the appearance of the monstrous foe, for a split second he considers escape, but common sense prevails. Casting true Strike he prepares to put his foe to sleep.


______
Surprise round: True Strike
Round 1: Shoot whichever enemy is the least injured with a sleeping-poison crossbow bolt.
______

 

[Uriel]

Gentaria grins a wicked smile, unphazed by the Beast.Though she cannot see it clearly, she shows it what a Priestess of The Spider Goddess can do, summoning up a Doom upon it's Soul. The creature shows it's head briefly, looking at the party, the gleam in it's eye a bit less sure...


OoC:ENRAELA IS UP on Suprise Round.

 

[Caliber]

"The keep? Why the kee-"

Wesellu never finishes what he was about to say as his companions about him erupt into action.

Fumbling for his hand crossbow, he begins to prepare a Fireball.

OOC: Wesellu would more likelu keep his Hand Crossbow ready than his sword. He will toss a Fireball at the closer one, assuming hes noticed it, on his action if he can manage without roasting anyone (well, anyone he thinks might take it the wrong way )

If he doesn't have a clear shot he'll be happy throwing up a Shield in the direction of the closest nasty instead.

 

[Leopold]

IC: Death awaits the creature in the rear.

OOC: How far is Jikull from the creature. I don't want to stray to far from my 'charges'

 

[Uriel]

OoC:Sorry folks, I was at work a Hellishly long time, and I just got home (8am my time).

SUPRISE ROUND CONTINUED

Enraela pulls her hand crossbow from her pack, preparing to shoot the Serpentine creature that she can see skulking throught the Boulders.

Vitrene casts a spell of Accuracy (True Strike) on himself.

Jikull watches in stupified Horror as the Beast facing him (and the party's backs...) opens it's mouth. A nimbus of green energy crackles about it's teeth and from deep witihin it's gullet issues forth a bolt of greenish lightning.

Jikull is hit full force by the Blast (23HP).

Enraela, hearing something amiss at the last second, leaps aside (taking a Grazing shot for 11 HP).

Arngen, caught completely unawares, suffers the full force of the hit (23HP).

Grolvus, hissing and diving at the last second, is spared the hit ( No damage as per Evasion).



Grolvus sprints up to the boulder near the Beast at the front of the party.
Waiting, hidden between two rocks, he prepares to pounce on the Thing as it moves to attack his allies.

That is the Suprise Round.

BROGARK is up first on Round One.
GENTARIA IS NEXT.
ARNGEN.
THE FRONT MONSTER.
ENRAELA.
VITRENE.
WESELLU.
GROLVUS.
REAR MONSTER.
JIKULL.

 

[Leopold]

OOC: Rage then charge. Slay until dead.

 

[garyh]

Brogark will enter melee with the closest foe and use his waraxe and a shield bash against him. Slay until dead.

 

[Uriel]

Brogark advances towards the Hissing Beast and deals it a mighty blow with his Axe, follwed by a slam from his SHield. His second axe-strike,however, misses.
The Thing (AoOp) tries to bite Brogark, but fails to hit him. It now lies partally exposed, having 'shot out- of the Rocks to attack Brogark.
Grolvus takes this opportunity to strike (AoOp, since he was waiting against the near side of the Boulder), dealing it a crushing two-handed swing against it's Flank. The Beast looks sorely hurt, these things might look a bit like small Dragons, but they were not similarly Armored, to be sure...


GENTARIA AND ARNGEN ARE UP.
Then the Beast at the front strikes...It has yet to breath it's Lightnong Blast, and who knows, perhaps the othe rone will Spit Electric Death again.

 

[Jemal]

Gentaria moves up, both swords in hand, to help slay the beast.

OOC: Swing, slash, dodge, slay until dead. Repeat if neccessary.
