Vengeance in Mornonas

[DarkMaster]

OOC Diplomacy 14+4

Hl'lar looks at Oculus his eyes opening up more after each one of his affirmation. He can't beleive his ears.
"That old fool got you too, as I can see"
The old professor unhappy with Hl'lar answers back "How dare you talk about Sir Uder like this, He is a distinguished gentlemen.

The elf starts to laugh DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN !!!!! AHHHHHAAHHH another one like that and I roll under the table

He cleans his mouth with his hand and look straight in the eyes of the old women. "This man is as distinguished as I am, only difference with me he is a good actor, AHAHAHAHA"

He then turns towards Oculus. "And you if you want to stay alive, don't hang around this men. Uder and I studied togheter at this university a few years ago he pauses for a moment, looks at Oculus and the old professor "Few years, ..., well for an elf." He engulf another bite.
"Then the son of a ..... He looks at the old professor and add on a sarcastic tone [/COLOR=darkgreen]" the gentlement screwed me hard... Gentlemen come on. [/COLOR]. Oculus and the professor can clearly notice the food half chewed in the elf's mouth as he speaks.

and with another large bite he finishes his plate. " You will excuse me but since you work with Uder, I will have to leave you. I wouldn't want to help the competition. He smiles at both of you, salutes you with the head and stand up leaving his plate on the table.

The old professor seems outraged by Hl'lar attitude and oppinion of Uder.

Solomon Kreel

Solomon pushes himself up to his hands and knees, and wipes the back of hand over his mouth, smeering blood and spit.

"I will die in combat. Has anyone taken out the archers?" Solomon stands and picks up his bow and arrow.

Telic Freeman, Human male traveller.

"Not today you won't. The archers are dealt with, but we have a mad monk and two more orcs.

"And Gror," he spits. "Has Heironomus become the patron god of murderers and villians while I was on the road?

"And I vote to stay."

A little surprised at his own words, Telic realises that they are true. The idea of being pushed around make his blood boil. It alway does, its just that he had been a tad too busy trying to stay alive to get round to thinking it before now.

Dai runs across the room barely paying attention to Solomon and Telic. He jumps on the stairs an attack the monk (roll 11 + 5) Dai hits in the jaw (dmg 4+3 +4). The monk badly badly burns in the face reposition himself to counter attack.

Telic get the potion and give it to Solomon.

The monk recovering from Dai hit, roll in the stairs and start running along the upper balcony shouting at the orc(tumble roll 23 DC 20)

The two orcs that just got out, jump over the Altar and starts sprinting towards Solomon and Telic their Falchion in the air they are both around 80' feet from Telic and Solomon. Two more orcs get out of the tunnel and behind them Telic can notice two others humanoid shape.

Solomon grabs his bow and stand up. (he doesn't have time to take the potion this round) He still feel the magic working on his injury. He now feels a bit better and his slowly getting his awereness of the surrounding back.

Dai and Telic at 10hp
Solomon at 1 with 3 rounds of vigor.

 

[Manzanita]

OOC: It looks like Tellic acts before Solomon. I'm a bit reluctant to post Solomon's action before Tellic's. I'll shade his actions for DarkMaster, and hopefully post again soon, if need be.

Solomon

Spoiler

prefers to flee, but will not abandon Tellic if he stays to fight. If Tellic takes an offensive action, Solomon will lean around the pillar and send one arrow at each charging orc. (I think you can split targets with rapidshot. Each arrow: +3 1d8 +5)

If Tellic hesitates or would flee, Solomon will sprint out the door they came in.

 

[Ferrix]

Dai continues after the fleeing monk, hoping to put him down with a good crack of his rattan-staff.

OOC: Move to melee again; Staff +6 (2d6 + 6 + 2 if human) I forgot to add the +2 favored enemy bonus to damage in my last attack which hit the monk so long as he's human

OOC Diplomacy 14+4

Hl'lar looks at Oculus his eyes opening up more after each one of his affirmation. He can't beleive his ears.
"That old fool got you too, as I can see"
The old professor unhappy with Hl'lar answers back "How dare you talk about Sir Uder like this, He is a distinguished gentlemen.

The elf starts to laugh DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN !!!!! AHHHHHAAHHH another one like that and I roll under the table

He cleans his mouth with his hand and look straight in the eyes of the old women. "This man is as distinguished as I am, only difference with me he is a good actor, AHAHAHAHA"

He then turns towards Oculus. "And you if you want to stay alive, don't hang around this men. Uder and I studied togheter at this university a few years ago he pauses for a moment, looks at Oculus and the old professor "Few years, ..., well for an elf." He engulf another bite.

The old professor seems outraged by Hl'lar attitude and oppinion of Uder.

"Professor, what was that all about? What is the history between the two? And what did he mean by Uder being the competition? Do you think Uder can be trusted? Hl'lar doesn't seem to think so."

Telic Freeman, Human male traveller.

Telic has never been a big fan of Hieronomus. The old man has control issues, but his heart is in the right place. This defilement of the god's temple makes Telic's blood boil. But the odds against them keep stacking up, and with each pair of orcs that piles out of the door, Telic knows that there is less and less chance of him being able to cower them. Telic may be an angry young man (or at least a headstrong one), but he is not a stupid one. Discretion is beginning to look like the better part of valour.

"On second thoughts, I think that it is time to be leaving."

ooc: Assuming that the orc are out of range at this time, Telic will hold his action (getting the hell out of the church) until Solomon acknowledges it and agrees. Telic won't leave without Solomon. (Dai, Telic figures, is in a better position to look after himself. Telic won't be happy about leaving without Dai, but will do so if its not possible to wait without pulling Solomon in jeopody. I assume that there are other ways out open to Dai, and the man can move.)

If Solomon elects to stay, Telic will go to plan B. Fight defensively and rage and rail against the blasphmy being committed here, harange them in the name of all that is divine and holy, demand they back down or bring down upon themselves the divine and terrible wrath of H. Hellfire and brimstone. That sort of thing.

Dai Charges (70' to cover) on the running monk. Dai aims for the head (roll 19 +6+2) the monk while only concentrating on dodging blow is unable to dodge Dai almost perfect blow (roll 3+2+6+2), the blow almost rips the monk head off. The blow is so strong that he looses balance and fall off the balcony 15 feet below (dmg 6) Dai can hear a loud "crack" has his head hits the ground.

A larger orc get out of the tunnel armed with an impressive bow and a great axe strapped in his back. The Orc is also wearing the barbarian tribes color but he also wear an hat made of yellow feathers

Solomon:

Spoiler

Solomon recognises the hat. It is usually wear by warrior who excelled on the battlefield. It is a great priviledge to be allowed to wear this hat. Other member of the tribes usually greatly respect the wearer of such an hat.

Seeing what he did to the monk, the Orc takes an arrow from his quiver arm his bow. You can see the orc muscle pumped when he prepares his arrow. He shoots at Telic, making a large sound. The arrow (roll 16) the arrow hits the balustrade in front of Dai. Dai receives small chunck of rock that broke under the impact.
Without even checking if his arrow hit Dai he takes another one and aims at Telic. roll 18 The arrow crosses the 200' feet at an unbeleivable speed with a very small trajectory arc and hit telic in the leg (dmg 6).

Telic waits a bit to see Solomon's reaction loosing it's advantages on the orc.

The two orcs charges on Telic, they both seems to be in the same state as the one before them. The first one seems to be loosing it completly. his face is all disfigured with rage and hate. He attacks Telic (I will assume a fighting def) roll 10 missing Telic
The orc seems even more enraged by his miss. The second orc gets on Telic slightly after the first one. Trying to hit Telic in the kidneys. (roll 15 ) Telic is saved by his armor once again. Would this blow when through his armor he would have probably died.

Solomon dashes for the door. Telic anticipating Solomons move withdraw from the orcs an open the large door of the temple letting the evening sun comes in the temple. Telic notices that the orcs seems annoyed by it. Telic then steps outside. Solomon quickly leaves the temple following Telic.

People on the street seems chock to see the two warrior bleeding coming out of Heireionous temple.

Gror who seems to have removed his militian cloth is only wearing the chain mail that was under it. Dai notices that his armor is thightly fit and necromantic symbol seems to be drawn on the chest part of his chain mail. The chain mail seems also very light.
Gror has a long bow hang on his back and is carrying a beautiful double sword. The steel of the blade were darkened and almost don't reflect any light. He looks at Dai a large smile on his face.
"So black man, your friend are abandoning you. Don't worry we will take great care of you." an evil laugh coming out of his mouth. "and we will send your head to your father like you did to Uder"
His tone switch to vengeance.

The other two orc heads towards the stairs, climb them and are now 20 feets from Dai.

---In the street

Jasper is still following the four man.

---At the university

The old women looks at Oculus. "I don't know what really happened between the two, they used to adventure togheter when they finished university. Uder was an excellent divine student, he was able to understand and feels the god like no other student of his class. Hl'lar was on the other hand a very average arcane student always causing problem on the campus, stealing, cheating, drinking and fighting with the other student. But somehow they became real good friend. I guess one was compensating for the other. A few years after, something happened and Uder came back alone, never mentioning anything about Hl'lar. He then left for a small village in the north and lived there until now coming here every month or so.

Hl'lar came a few times through out the years but never explained anything. why he was here or what happened with Uder.

I have no idea why he sees us as competition. Maybe because the two discovered a few archeological treasure and they might have their own unwritten competition.

I personally wouldn't trust this man.

I have not a single doubt about Uder rightousness.

But don't worry about Hl'lar lets finish our meal and get back to work

Oculus notices that Hl'lar is socialising with a few young wizards in the main library. He seems more interested in talking than reaserching books.

Solomon at 2hp, 2rounds of vigor
Telic at 4hp
Dai who is in big trouble at 10

Telic Freeman, Human male traveller.

Telic breaks to one side as he exist the temple. He pulls up some 30-40 feet from the doors howls his frustration to the skys.

Seeing the people, he goes to plan C. Telic lets blaze his aura of goodness.

"Has order deserted the city of Mornonas?" he cries out. "Do all the good men hide and the servants of darkness brazenly walk the streets now? Have the servants of Heironomus been cast from their temple by sell murderers and blackhearts? Is there no longer any law and order here?"

Telic (assuming that he is not busy defending himself again at this point) makes a sweeping gesture towards the doors of the church.

"If I am wrong then by all that is divine and holy show me that it is not so. Before the barbarians butcher my companion in there like they have tried so hard to butcher us! Get the guard! Help me demand an end to the mayhem that desecrates this holy place!"
