[Vile] Puppy Kicking PCs at Work

[Guilt Puppy]

"Wow, your aim is pretty good," Alev says, inspecting the bow and arrow -- seeming preoccupied and entertained by that, certainly far from Aligor's seriousness. "You should just shoot her anyway, I think she'd look great with an arrow in her throat."

He turns, eyes the woman with a bit of veiled revulsion.

"Or at least, it would be a start."

(Of course, Alev doesn't know much about aiming arrows or anything, he's just trying to put the creeps on this woman -- although if she makes her Sense Motive check, she'll see he really means the part about looking great -- or, in other words, Aid Another: Intimidate.)

 

[Serpenteye]

At the church, Miri and Jeleneth seem a bit worried about seeing Alicia here, but Jeleneth talks to her pleasantly enough. “Alicia. Hello, it’s good to see you again. But, um, we don’t live at Brie’s anymore. We have a new home.” Miri looks towards Gwyn and says to Alicia “I don’t think we know your new friend. Who is he?” ......
Jeleneth says, “Alicia, it’s good to see you, but we’re on our way somewhere, so we’ll have to catch up with you again sometime.” Neither girl runs, but both appear ready to.

Alicia shakes her head in confusion. "No, no, that's not right. Brie was very upset that you left. She believes you were enchantellerd..." she shakes her head again, anger bubbling up trough the confusion. "Tricked. She just wants to talk to you, to see that you are alright" (lie). "If you don't come with me now she will send others, who may hurt you. If you don't come with me now she punish you. I will punish you."
Alicia keeps walking towards them, holding a hand out in pleading. As she keeps talking she gradually begins to feel less friendship and more irritation towards the girls. She believes they are lying, and she does not intend to let them get away.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Misliking the situation, Gwyn prepares to catch the girls if they flee.

OOC: Readied action to charge and initiate a grapple if they break and run.

 

[Telsar]

Both Miri and Jeleneth get a sudden look of panic over Alicia’s anger, something they’ve seen directed towards others in the past. As both turn to run, Gwyn sprints towards them, but before he can reach the two whores, suddenly 100 pounds of angry yellow fur just appears in his path, seemingly from thin air, in the form of one of the dogs he saw before. The dog is barking very loudly, and looks ready to go for Gwyn’s throat. The girls start to move down the street, watching over their shoulders, apparently as interested in what happens with the dog as they are with their own safety, but their progress is stopped as the hidden T’aria steps out from behind some bushes, and grabs Miri

[T’aria rolled 20+9=29 on her Hide check (again), Rolled 18+1=19 on her touch attack, and rolled 17+1=18 on her grapple check. I swear, I’m using the same die for her that I’m using for everyone else ]

[Characters by Initiative, damage:

T’aria, unhurt

Meanwhile, a few blocks down from the Hearthgate, the poor pony-tailed girl looks at the 3 warriors. She says to Aligor, “Walks the night? It’s more like the early morning, you crazy dwarf. And I’m not holding a weapon… but maybe I’ll go get one.” She practically ignores Alev’s threat, and makes a run for it. Aligor, ready for her flight, fires his arrow, hitting her in the shoulder. She draws her short sword as she disappears back around into the alley behind the building.

[I can’t let Aligor get both a readied action and an Intimidate check, and the readied action is what you put more detail into, so that’s what I went with. I gave Alev a default Intimidate check (instead of Aiding), and he rolled 1+2=3. Aligor shooting his arrow rolled 15+5=AC 20, hit. Damage rolled was 2+3=5.]

[Characters by Initiative, damage:
Aligor, HPs:22/37
Bane, unhurt
Sunedilar, unhurt
Alev, unhurt
Girl, hurt]

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Gwyn doesn't bother with the niceties; his blood already up from the whores' stubbornness, he hacks the dog down.

OOC: Five foot step if necessary to reach it, and full attack.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Accalon Darcanda: Human/Male (Unholy Warrior)

Accalon looks down unimpressed with Algernon as he stuffs the gag back in his mouth, “Spoiled? I think you can consider it rotten, and if you’ve only know the man for two days your no good to me.”

Done with him Accalon turns towards Lydia and Faleri, his eyes cold as he had heard Faleri’s words, words that he would agree with if he thought he could explain his apathy to Loni, “I’m not looking for a fight right now but if we want the money we just might have to risk something today.”

Accalon leaves the room without glancing back...

 

[Telsar]

Accalon, not listening to Aeweth’s advice, decides to venture downstairs, sword drawn, and see what’s occurring, leaving a struggling Algernon trying to get free. Accalon moves down as quietly as possible, which works mainly due to the commotion going on just beyond the curtained doorway in the foyer. Accalon hears what sounds like furniture being over turned, and then Ezuvial’s voice, “They needed guidance. And you gave them pain!” the sound of something breaking echoes from the curtained off room. “They needed a home, and you gave them a hell! Concern over what you did to Donaldo has made me be overly cautious, but that ends today.”

Madame Brie’s scraggly voice counters with “I did nothing to that idiotic priest. He made more enemies in a week than I could in a lifetime, trying to ‘clean up’ this city.” Her voice sounds strained, like she’s panting and in a great deal of pain. But she continues, “But I’m glad he burned. And maybe, you’ll agree with me.” There is an odd tinkling sound, that lasts for just a few seconds.

Then Ezuvial can be heard saying “You thought that would work against me? You don’t have a clue who I am. Let me show you!”. Brie makes a short gasp, but seems to recover quickly “So, you aren’t human. Not surprising really. I already knew you weren’t much of a man if you needed to charm people to get your way. Even Donaldo didn’t have to go that far.” Accalon again hears a bestial yell, similar to the one before, except that this one is in anger and the other was in pain, but still the same voice. And now, clearly, Ezuvial’s voice, not Brie’s.

Once Accalon is all the way down the stairs, he notices Jovana through the doorway to the showing room, hiding behind one of the sofas.

[Move Silently rolled 12+1-?, um, what kind of armor did you settle for if its not Mithral Breastplate? Any further movement will probably require another Move Silently roll]

 

[Guilt Puppy]

Alev takes a step forward, then stops suddenly, holding out his rapier to block Aligor's path.

"You said you heard a sword being drawn? Are you sure it was that? Because her sword didn't look very drawn to me..." He keeps his eyes fixed on the corner, a bemused grin creeping through his cheeks. "It's a trap."

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Aligor Thunderaxe Male Dwarf Fighter/Barbarian

Alev takes a step forward, then stops suddenly, holding out his rapier to block Aligor's path.

"You said you heard a sword being drawn? Are you sure it was that? Because her sword didn't look very drawn to me..." He keeps his eyes fixed on the corner, a bemused grin creeping through his cheeks. "It's a trap."

Realizing that the sound he heard must be another attacker in the alley, Aligor shakes his head. Damn women! They know not there place!

Motioning for the others to circle around the building, he begins to head towards the front of the building, keeping an eye on their rear, readying an arrow for whomever peers around that corner. Moving his full distance, towards the front of the building, quietly as possible, he will whisper for Alev and Sunedilar to make for the front, while he covers the rear. He his hoping to attack them from their rear, and turning the tables on them.

 

[Cepter]

Sunedilar al Hazir Human/Male Fighter

(OOC: Sorry! I started my summer teaching job on Thursday, and I just finished with my regular one today. I had planned to have a ready action to trip her with the chian, but too late now I suppose...)

Sunedilar moves forward slowly, though not in an overtly cautious manner, keeping his chain in it's loop for now, hands clenched into spiked mail fists, both in readiness and a bit of frustration about his own lack of speed. In his mind he sees the vor'lash wrapped around the woman's leg, ripping into her tendons and pulling her to the ground in a heap. He considers saying something to Alev, but he thinks better of it, knowing that the fop will do as he will.

(Defense, looking around for anyone lurking in the shadows.)

(Addendum: I'll be gone for the weekend. Feel free to NPC Sunedilar until Sunday night, so I don't hold everything up)
