Sunedilar al Hazir Human/Male Fighter

Sunedilar doesn't even take the moment to respond to Aligor. He slips his chain free of it's loop and rushes into the chaos that is Madame Brie's. As he enters, he sees the guards and Gwyn attacking the...man on the stairs. He moves in to join them, whirling the chain in an arc at the throat of the foe.

(OOC: If I can make it, going to try and attack with the spiked chain, if not, I'll just move closer and set up for a full atttack)

 

[Telsar]

Aeweth, weighing her options and possible outcomes, bolts for the door of the bedroom. Unfortunately for her, Accalon reaches out and grabs her as she tries to pass him. He throws her to the bed, trying to pin her, but she struggles in his arms. She says through clenched teeth that she still has one more thing she can do, risky for Lydia but something she'll do if he doesn't get off, and that's to yell for help. If Ezuvial hears, she says, it's very likely he'll come up here and deal with Accalon for her. If she wanted to help the archon, she'd just yell right now.

[Accalon got an Attack of Opportunity, used for first grapple. Rolled 15+5-2=AC 18, hit on touch attack. On opposed check Accalon rolls 15+5-2=18, Aeweth rolls 13+0=13, so grabbed. On Accalon's action, rolled 4+5-2=7, she rolled 17, couldn't pin her yet.

Character, damage, condition:
Lydia, unhurt, aligned and magical weapon
Aeweth, unhurt
Accalon, unhurt, “feeling shaky”]


Suendilar runs up to Brie's front door and readies his weapon, but as he does so, he feels this warrior's rage wash over him, leaving him with a jittery feeling throughout his body.

[Took a full run to get there, so no attack yet. Rolled Will save 4+1=5, failed, vs. fear effect. Sunedilar is at -2 to hit, armor class, and saves. Note- Ezuvial is beside the stairs in the foyer, not on the stairs. Gwyn is on the stairs.

Character, damage, condition:
Alev, HPs: 1/19
Aligor, HPs: 22/37
Ezuvial, slightly hurt
Gwyn, HPs: 13/18, "feeling shaky"
T’aria, unhurt
City Guard 1, hurt
City Guard 2, hurt
City Guard 3, hurt
Sunedilar, unhurt, "feeling shaky"]

*Lydia gags Aeweth tightly.*

"It's for your own good. You were supposed to do a job, you refused and are interfering with me now. You won't be hurt if you just stay still," Lydia says firmly. "Finish tying her if you please, we have work to do," she says to Accalon.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Sunedilar doesn't even take the moment to respond to Aligor. He slips his chain free of it's loop and rushes into the chaos that is Madame Brie's. As he enters, he sees the guards and Gwyn attacking the...man on the stairs. He moves in to join them, whirling the chain in an arc at the throat of the foe.

(OOC: If I can make it, going to try and attack with the spiked chain, if not, I'll just move closer and set up for a full atttack)

Aligor, following right behind Sunedilar to the establishment, peers in the door, trying to see what's going on. As he watches Sunedilar spot out the single man, he darts his eyes around, trying to see if he can notice another way to get at this man.

[OOC - Aligor will hopefully see that there is another room behind this man, with his flank exposed. IF HE SPIES THIS...he will turn to Sunedilar and say to him, at a voice low enough that others are not aware of exactly what he is saying, "Sunny, looks like we need to go through the back way." he makes a gesture towards the direction he thinks would take him around to the room behind.]

 

[Guilt Puppy]

Alev ducks away into the shadows; from there, he will first down his potion of cure light wounds (seeming less than pleased by the taste), and then draws his rapier & kukri begin making his way around and into the building, hopefully reaching the subject of these attacks unnoticed.

(That's Hide & Move Silently, moving over the next few rounds into position to strike -- he'll wait for a chance to full attack from hiding, btw... After that, it'll be flank-and-slash, if he can move into flanking, and duck back into full defense when he can't.

Note that I'm moving tonight, and while I expect to have a variety of ways to access the internet, my post frequency is likely to drop for a period -- hence the long-term battle strategy.)

Accalon Darcanda: Human/Male (Unholy Warrior)

Accalon grits his teeth as he realizes that Ezuvial’s prescience is still affecting him but he uses his superior weight as leverage as the blonde thrashing about. As something rips, Accalon continues to ask Aeweth to cooperate and his voice is softly reassuring as he asks for her forgiveness, “Aeweth, please be a dear, stop fighting, I do not want to hurt you but I will if you give me no other alternative.”

The softness leaves his voice as he gives orders back to Lydia, “Good, once you have the gag in place start to tie her left hand down.”

OOC: I’m guessing that Lydia is in the grapple now so Accalon gets some sort of bonus, and if ANYONE is offended by the ripping sound and what it applies, I’m more than happy to edit it out, but I imagine that the outfit isn’t meant for this kind of rough housing so I thought it was a realistic addition.

 

[Telsar]

Lydia gags her ally Aeweth, possibly now her former ally, as Accalon struggles with her, then both work together to finish tying her up. Lydia finishes her spellcasting as Accalon makes his last minute preparations as well, and Algernon pulls out a dagger he had hidden on his person, apparently ready to use it down below if need be..

[Lydia rolled grapple check 20+2=22 vs Aeweth’s 9. With both grappling her, and both stronger than her, I’m just ruling she can easily be tied down with no more grapple checks needed. I didn’t mention specifically Accalon’s potion use, since it’s only been mentioned in OOC, so BS, you can mention it here or change your plans if you want. BS and Isida, your next posts can be what you do as you come down, if you are ready to come down.]

Out in the street, Alev finds a bush that doesn’t look too uncomfortable to hide in, and downs his potion, feeling much better. Aligor follows Sunedilar to the front doors standing a few feet behind him, and sees the crowded foyer, and the apparently empty room beyond it. Aligor saw windows in the front and side, as well as another door on the side of the building, but near the rear, through any of which might lead to the empty room.

[Alev’s potion cured 7+1=8 HPs. Windows are in positions marked on the map, the rear door Aligor saw is in position G23-24. I’ve drawn interior rooms and such, but you shouldn’t know them without looking in a window or two.]

Meanwhile, inside, the guards, although stunned by their inability to hurt the man, decide to keep fighting, so Ezuvial swings at one of them twice with the flat side of his blade, the second swing connecting, knocking the guard out cold. Gwyn fires his arrow at Ezuvial but it narrowly misses the warrior, embedding itself in the floor.

[Gwyn’s attack rolled 17+5-2-2=AC 18, missed. G3 (City Guard 3) on the map is now knocked out; someone can stand in his square, if desired.]

[Characters by initiative, damage, condition:
Accalon, unhurt, “feeling shaky”
T’aria, unhurt
City Guard 1, hurt
City Guard 2, hurt
City Guard 3, unconscious
Sunedilar, unhurt, “feeling shaky”
Alev, HPs: 9/19
Algernon, unhurt
Aligor, HPs: 22/37
Lydia, unhurt, aligned magic weapon & divine favor & holding charge
Ezuvial, slightly hurt
Gwyn, HPs: 13/18, “feeling shaky”]

[Updated map included]

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Lydia makes her way down, and smiles slightly at seeing Ezuvial distracted by fodder. Dashing toward him, she tries to bring her hand down lightly on his back, preparing to infuse him with pain.*

[OOC - Touch attack +4 (for divine favor) for 2d8+3 points of damage, Will save DC 14 negates. AC 18 with divine favor.]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Accalon nods his thanks towards Lydia before he turn back towards the bond Aeweth, the same deep look of sympathy on his face, “I’m sorry dear, it didn’t have to be that way, I’m truly sorry but at least how ever it goes your safe now…”

His frown deepens as he looks are her torn outfit, he looks around quickly for something to cover her modesty with, bending down he settles for a blanket that had been kicked off the bed in the struggle, tossing it over her he gives a small coy smile as he turns to leave, “See you even have more to cover your modesty now so I'm not really a bad guy.”

Accalon raps quickly and loudly upon the voyeur closet and he quickly opens it steps inside and speaks quickly to the cowering sisters. He speaks softly to them as he always has, “As I said I think Aeweth is fighting off the vex that Ezuvial cast upon her, please leave her alone for now, I don’t want to see her get hurt cause of a spell induced raving.”

Without waiting for a reply he closes the door. [if the lock is on the outside he also locks it.]

As he moves the hallway he reaches into his pouch, pulling out to differently shaped bottles, tossing one of them down before smearing the other across the curved played of his Spatha, done he drops both vials back in the pouch, who knows the vials could be useful…

Once downstairs he fallows the dark haired cleric into the fray, and providing the protection as agreed upon to the best of his ability.

OOC: Before combat: Drank potion of Shield of Faith +2 and smeared Magic Weapon upon the blade. In combat: Accalon won’t go out of his way to get to Ezuvial, aka giving someone an AoO against him, if he needs to fight of a guard before hand he will, he use his Pestilential Strike ONLY on Ezuvial and will use it the first round he can attack him.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Surprised at seeing the guard's sword just.. stop, T'aria rifles through her belt pouch, ignoring Ezuvial's words.

If the guard can't hurt him, I certainly can't. Damn it, the only thing useful I have is the thunderstones, and everyone is far too close in here to use them! She curses in abyssal. Maybe I can get around behind him...

She steps backward through the curtain, still holding onto one of the thunderstones, and tries to find a way around to the door that Ezuvial is standing in front of, moving as quietly but as quickly as she can. If I am lucky, it actually links up somewhere in here...

[OOC: Standard action to realize she has nothing that can help at the moment and to grab a thunderstone, Move action to explore while using Move Silently, taking the -5 penalty for moving faster than 1/2 speed]
