[UaVS] The Silver Door IC

[Serpenteye]

"Oh yes, sweet 'sister', I wouldn't consider doing otherwise." He speaks with false courtesy but with a sarcastic twist to the word "sister".
Mumbling quietly to himself; "Your underestimating of me shows your true wisdom."

"Don't stray too far from your babysitter, dear brother."

"I wouldn't dare, precious sister. It's a dangerous world out there, death can be swift and sudden. But you'll have no need to fear, I'll be here to guard your back."

In his mind he slides his dagger trough the back of her lovely black neck and licks the steaming hot blood of the weapon. With a shudder of delight and a metallic taste in his mouth he steps trough the web, right behind her.

OoCssstt!!!! Enraela and Vitrene are Cousins, not brother and sister...Enraela already did her brother in...hobbled to slow a Troglodyte War Party, so that she could get away.
I assume that nobody else wanted to go with Grolvus and Arngen, then? OK.

IC: The forms of the Bugbear and Arngen fade from view, lost amongst the Mushrooms. Long moments pass, these dragging into an ominous silence.

Moments later you hear the most unlikely sound, the laugter of Children. It sounds like some Rhyme, from a Fable.

'Eight little spider left the nest,
swords at the ready, eager for their test,
but one by one the little spiders died,
without anyone ever even knowing how hard the tried...

You see nothing, but hear the laughter from somewhere in the Underbrush.
Wait...
Vitrene,Brogark and Enraela think they se something, or where something should be.
Vitrene and Enraela have a Suprise round to act, along with the Unseen assailants Suprise round.

Initiative
Brogark:23 (Blind Fighting)
Vitrene: 22 Sup
Jikull:22
Gentaria:21
Enraela:18 Sup
Wesallu:13
Foe:12

Suprise Round

Brogark,Vitrene,Enraela,Foe,
Then standard round with the above sequence.
Your foes are between 20 and 50 feet, and invisible. What's up your sleeves folks?

 

[Serpenteye]

OOC: Cousins, but close enough to be brother and sister . It's such a loving family.
--

Startled by the appearance of the invisible foes Vitrene nevertheless acts swiftly, casting Protection from Evil on himself (surprise round) followed by an unpoisoned bolt from his masterwork handcrossbow ( Hand Crossbow +7 1D4 +1d6) against the closest enemy he can spot. (round 1)

__

OOC: Happy new year!

 

[garyh]

Brogark unslings his axe (as I don't think I said it was out), and moves into position between the foes and Enraela.

 

[Leopold]

OOC: I stand between the enemies and enraela and vitrene. If i can see them or sense them i attack, if not i guard.

BATTLE AT THE DENAQUE

Brogark moves to the front of Enraela, a redied attack waiting to dissect this unseen Foe. (OoC:Was that what you wanted to do, ready an attack if something came at her?)That opportunity comes, when someting streaks out of the underbrush, heading towards Enraela. Brogark swings twice, missing, then he gets in a chance blow andconnects with something small and light. Brogark feels the familiar sensation of something being Cleaved in two by his vicious Waraxe. There is no sign of a body, yet his Axe is stained with bright crimson blood.
(OoC: You missed with both attacks,even with Blind Fight rerolls :O but hit with the Attack of opportunity that you got when it attacked Enraela).

Vitrene takes a wild shot at the direction of the laughter. Miraculously, he hits something, it hisses and shrieks in a wailing voice, yet it does not drop.
(OoC:Unfortunately, you don't get a Sneak Bonus vs. an Invisible Foe, and indeed, they remain invisible.By the way, they get +2 vs. you all and you lose your Dex vs. Them(except for the Brogark and Jikull the Barbarian).

The bolt sticks out in thin air, giving a semblance of a target.

OOC:Waiting on Enraela's Suprise action, so we can get the others going.

 

[Uriel]

The underbrush is a maelstrom of movement, unseen midges moving with such speed that your heart disbelieves it possible.
Vitrene watches in horror as the 'bolt-bearing' Foe charges right at him, slashing his leg open (OoC:2HP).
The Half-Ogre Jikull swings at something moving at him, missing what surely he thought he had hit. He bellows in rage as something small and sharp stabs him (OoC:4HP). Something wrenches his guts almost immediately, though his now-Legendary Fortitude (OoC:Well, amongst the Duchess and those unfortunate enough to try to Poison him), he shrugs off whatever agent was on the blade.
Brogark feels some Enchantment digging at his mind, but shrugs it off, his Will sufficient enough to guard him.

OooC:Still waiting on Enraela's Suprise action, and her round One. Vitrene (or anyone targeting the wounded one), it's Concealment bonus is severely lessened, and it loses the ability to ignore your Dex bonuses.

 

[Uriel]

Jikull spins around and skewers something small and wriggling on the end of his Flamberge, it streaking towards the back of Vitrene, it wriggles for a very short moment then goes still.
OoC:Your Attack of Opportunity hit the Foe, as it was moving past you to get at Vitrene's back. A Listen check of 25 didn't hurt either.

Two foes down and one wounded...

(OoC:Was that what you wanted to do, ready an attack if something came at her?)

OOC: Er, yeah... I was being overly descriptive and not rules crunchy enough.

Brogark will attempt more melee against the invisible foes.

 

[Caliber]

Caught with mouth agape, Wesellu is completely unprepared for the invisible marauders.

Gathering his wits, Wesellu ducks into a defensive crouch and lauches a quick counter wave of magic in the direction of bobbing crossbow bolt.

"Let's see how well your Invisibility holds up against this!"

OOC: Wesellu will Cast Defensively on his turn, aiming an Area Dispel Magic at the Crossbow Bolt sticking out of one of the enemy if he can do so without catching any friendlies. Otherwise it will be a Targeted Dispel Magic.
