[v.3.5] Realmsian Dragonstar: The Battle of Toril PbP Game [IC] (Game Cancelled)

[Knightfall]

OOC: Dakashi will psionic teleport out and if he can take anyone close by with he will.

Dakashi knows he has only moments to act. He looks at Keth on the ground and hopes his psionic teleport will bring the fallen elf with him. He activates his power and disappears from inside the temple. He is glad to see that Keth's body came with him, as they appear on the street near Thrak.

 

[Knightfall]

"After them," the voice of the High Artificer emanates from the solid fog. Only Shaz is close enough to hear. "And bring me the one called Haspur. Do not burn him, too much."

A blazing bones turns towards the the temple's entrance, and begins moving towards Shaz and the fallen Rodan. It stops and throws fire at the half-dragon. The hurled fire hits the doorframe instead of the Scion of Copper. Luckily, the flames don't touch Rodan either.

OOC: Ranged fire attack > 1d20+5=20

 

[KainG]

The soldier rushes into the temple, ignoring any remaining bystander gawking as his (alien to them) armored form. Damn it, everything's gone FUBAR, Yin Hun thinks to himself. He had been observing the locals and the few Imperial outworlders since they overcame the pirate attack, gathering intelligence on them should they be useful in forming the first resistance cell to Imperial occupation. However, that all went completely sideways with the corruption of one of their head priests. And from what he had observed, it was not going well for the locals. Yin Hun did not want to reveal himself so soon, but he made a judgement call, and decided to move in.

Through his communicator, he hears Emiko confirm that she is in position. He feels some relief knowing that she has his back. "Copy that! Moving in!"

With one final long stride, Yin Hun leaps into the temple's entrance, his assault blaster raised. "Get him out of here! I'll cover you!" he yells through the intercom of his helmet to the half-dragon. He takes aim, and fires at the blazing bones near them.

The electricity discharge from his assault blaster turns the blazing bones closest to him into a pile of fried bones and cloth. The embers of the undead go out. Yin Hun can see that there is one more blazing bones left, but he can't see the turned priest through the solid fog just off to his left.

The other blazing bones rushes at him quickly. More quickly than seems normal. The undead's unnatural fire seems more intense than the one that he just put down. It tries to slam him with its fists. The first impacts his armor, hard, but it doesn't do any damage. The second swing goes wild. Yin Hun knows he's facing the undead form of the monk who's helped the others at the docks earlier.

"Another interloper," the High Artificer whispers from inside the fog. "You will regret throwing in with these others." Yin Hun can hear the man casting a spell from deep within the fog. The next thing he knows, his entire combat hardsuit begins to vibrate on him.

Then the veiled man speaks again. "Doom."

OOC: Slam attack > 1d20+10=24 (miss), 1d20+10=13 (miss)

The High Artificer casts shatter on Yin Hun's magical armor. Will save (DC 20) negates the spell. Use either Yin Hun's Will save (+4) or the hardsuit's own save (?), whichever is higher. As a magical object, the hardsuit has a save modifier of one-half its required caster level to create, plus 2. | Second Will save vs. doom spell. DC is 19 for that save. If he fails, he is shaken.

 

[Knightfall]

The High Artificer's spells break through Yin Hun's protections. His armor is sundered, as the shatter spell causes it to come apart. Soon, it is shards and dust at his feet. Then the doom spell enters his mind and shakes his resolve. This opponent, this subsumed cleric, is powerful. Too powerful to confront out in the open.

 

[Knightfall]

Shaz picks up Rodan and heads away from the temple. He soon comes upon Thrak, carrying Lady Sil, and Dakashi standing over the dead body of Keth. "We should not leave him to be used by the High Artificer. Can you carry him?" Shaz asks Dakashi.

 

[Shayuri]

Thrak nods in grim recognition of Shaz, and takes a potion from a pouch in his belt to pour down the tiefling's throat as best he can without actually putting her down. (Cure Moderate Wounds: [roll0])

She awakens almost immediately, coughing and sputtering, and Thrak sets her down right away. It takes a moment for her to regain her balance, then another to look around and figure out what's going on.

Thrak confirms it simply by saying, "We are fleeing. The man, the Chosen, is that way."

If Dakashi doesn't pick the dead body up, or is even too slow to respond, Thrak picks it up and will move with Silhouette to recover Haspur and get the flock out.

(not a bad roll; Silhouette is at 16 HP)

Thrak confirms it simply by saying, "We are fleeing. The man, the Chosen, is that way."

Shaz wonders if Rodan has a potion handy but instead of trying to find it, the half-dragon lugs the cleric over his shoulder, carefully, and checks to make sure no one gets left behind. "Lets move!" He suggests loudly. Then he speaks to Nel over their comms. "Nel, we're coming to you. Fast! Things have gone badly. Get those wagons moving out of the city as quickly as possible!"

If Dakashi doesn't pick the dead body up, or is even too slow to respond, Thrak picks it up and will move with Silhouette to recover Haspur and get the flock out.

Dakashi seems to be laboring under his own weight, having been hurt more than he's been in some time. Thrak picks up the dead form of Keth and soon all of them are fleeing as fast as they can. Looking back, so far, there is no sign of pursuit. But that could quickly change.

OOC: Sil is up first for round 4.

 

[KainG]

Yin Hun stares disbelievingly at the the blazing bones before him as his helmet, followed by his armor, shatter and fall to the floor, piece by piece. But before he can react, the despair he had buried deep before embarking on his mission bubbled up to the surface once more. Memories flashed before his eyes, memories of those he had failed. "One-Shot" Garrick, slumped over in a ditch with half of his head burned away still clutching his sniper rifle. Sabra Half-tusk, engulf by an explosion after she had shoved him onto the shuttle. That new kid that joined the Wolf Pack on their last planet, catching a shot in the chest. Dammit, what was that kid's name...?

And for a brief moment, he saw Emiko, laying on the ground face up, but with no life in her eyes.

Yin Hun thought all his training, all his experiences in war, had made him cold as steel. But today, he was given a grim reminder that even he can still feel fear.

He quickly regains his senses and realizes he needs to run. He dashes out the temple's open doorway, but as he does, the blazing bones manages to strike at him hard. The blow hurts him and burns his back as well.

OOC: Are you going to toss the grenade?
