Warriors Of The Coast

[stonegod]

Not seeing anything, the monster hunter grimaces. "Don't like this. Don't like this at all. Pray she hasn't gone invisible."

Taking a deep breath, and waiting for the other shoe to drop, Ari steps into the room, his blade waving back and forth to ward of stray blows. He glares at the dolgrim, a warning, but keeps his eyes peeled for the real threat.

[OOC: 5' step to H12, Total Defense, looking around]

Status: HP 31/28 hp [3 temporary], AC 20

 

[Velmont]

Jango looks at the last Dolgrim. "What we do with him?" ask the elf.

 

[stonegod]

Jango looks at the last Dolgrim. "What we do with him?" ask the elf.

Ari does not bother to look back, focused on being ready for the attack he thinks is coming. "We kill it. Do not suffer such foulness to live."

 

[Velmont]

At Ari's request, he whispers the command word again, the magic bolt flying around Ari, striking the last dolgrim.

OOC: 4th charge use this combat

 

[drothgery]

Khalia taps Skarg with the wand of CLW(OOC: 14 charges left), more to heal the half-orc's foot than to deal with any serious injuries.

Then she moved, trying to get a good look inside the room with the last Dolgrim.

 

[Brogarn]

Skarg nods a thanks at Khalia, then quietly follows Ari into the room, squinting his black eyes as he scans the room for the missing Captain or signs of an ambush.

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Wouldn't be better to simply expend one of your cantrip into a cure minor wounds rather than use the wand to heal the caltrop wound?

 

[Brogarn]

OOC: I also lost HP from a crossbow attack.

 

[DEFCON 1]

The dolgrim drops once Jango nails it with another set of magic missiles, and Skarghash's foot and wounds feel much, much better after Khalia heals him. (Cast CLW on Skarg / 7 HP healed) With the clean-up of the previous fight taken care of, the four of you begin slowly advancing into the chamber to deal with the last situation... Captain Erqua. Ari's longsword begins swinging back and forth across the room, and the four of you keep your senses sharp... in the hopes that something will catch your notice.

(Ari Spot check: TN ?? / 15+0=15 *failure*)
(Ari Listen check: TN ?? / 7+0=7 *failure*)
(Khalia Spot check: TN ?? / 3+2=5 *failure*)
(Khalia Listen check: TN ?? / 9+2=11 *failure*)
(Jango Spot check: TN ?? / 16+2=18 *failure*)
(Jango Listen check: TN ?? / 9+2=11 *failure*)
(Skarg Spot check: TN ?? / 5+6=11 *failure*)
(Skarg Listen check: TN ?? / 12+6=18 *success*)

With his eyes closed to best weed out all other distractions... Skarghash listens intently to the goings on in the chamber. The sounds of Ari's sword swishing back and forth... the footfalls of everyone as you all advance... the very quiet moan of pai-- Wait!!! Right side! Against the interior wall! Skarghash immediately opens his eyes in the direction of where the slight moan came from, points to where someone should be... and yells out to everyone "Right there!"

The group all turns to where he pointed and see nothing. However, immediately upon Skarghash's announcement, a scurry of footsteps spring forth and Captain Erqua immediately appears out of nowhere as her shortsword and her arm blade come down towards the monster hunter who is out in front! And while his expert reflexes are able to get his sword hand up in time to block the Captain's lunge with the shortsword... her armblade is able to come in underneath and get him in the leg with a powerful thrust! (Shortsword attack: AC 20 / 13+8-2curse=19 *miss* // arm blade attack: AC 20 / 14+8-2curse=20 *hit* / 9 dam)

With the Captain now in plain view in virtually the center of the chamber, the four of you now have the opportunity to swarm her.

Initiative Order:

Skarghash: 15
Ari: 14
Khalia: 14
Erqua: 8
Jango: 5

(I won't bother with a map, but suffice to say there is plenty of room on all sides of her for of you to get around her if you so choose.)

 

[Brogarn]

Skarg steps forward and attempts to make a new hole in the Captain's side with a quick stab of his short sword.

Nice try, buttercup. I'd give you hints on how to be more quiet, but what's the point? You're dead. he says with a wide grin that lets a bit of drool escape off his lower lip.
