What Adventure Awaits?

[jkason]

Kaer Fegavas

Eyes rolling, screeching in a blood-maddened frenzy, the mob abandons Anissa, who lies on the ground wounded and sobbing, and rushes pell-mell at Kaer. The barbarian uses the stool and his feet to fend off one attack, to block another. Fangs snag his clothes but miss flesh. Despite the flurry of hairy arms and snapping jaws, Kaer manages to evade further injury, at least for the moment. Unfortunately, he'll soon be surrounded, and attacked from all sides if the tide doesn't turn!

Kaer lashes out with the stool, but isn't nearly as lucky this time against the gaggle of simians. He does his best to close to Houba, though the screeching, snapping throng makes that difficult.

OOC: Rolled IC since you'd said you didn't like the EN roller. IC is apparently quite upset I've been doing my dice rolling elsewhere. Improvised attack; damage (1d20+1=3, 1d6+3=4) I'd like to let Kaer move away, but I'm not sure if he'll draw AoO. I believe since he's unarmored, though, he can get his full Acrobatics bonus (+7) instead of the much more paltry version being armored leaves him with. If that's the case and he'd only have to roll vs one or two of the monkeys, let me know and I might take a stab at it.

Shalaye prepares herself for the coming, strange conflict, ensuring that Rorbi stays out of harm's way. Then, the deer attack. They actually attack. Two charge Berm while a third rushes away, coming back toward Berm in a wide circle. Berm slips out of the path of one set of antlers, but he still catches horns in a raking jab to his shoulder and chest. The other three deer rush away from the tree. One moves straight at Zantalus, its head dropping for the charge. The other two rush to the left and right, arcing around toward Zantalus's and Shalaye's flanks. Zantalus jumps to the side as the deer slashes its antlers madly at where the elf had just been standing!

"Mom! Run! Run!" Vandro screams, and Rorbi look as if she is about to panic.

'They seem very coordinated for animals' Berm thinks to himself as they act with flanking attacks. He grunts at the stabbing by the horns of the deer.

useing his dagger defensively, he attacks with his rapier. though his strike is true, he fails to find a vital organ.

useing is dagger as a defensive item per 2 wpn defense, but not fighting defensively.
base die roll for attack is 18-possible crit-never mind.

Monkey Fight! Rounds 2 & 3

Kaer lashes out with the stool, but isn't nearly as lucky this time against the gaggle of simians. He does his best to close to Houba, though the screeching, snapping throng makes that difficult.

Kaer pulls back, swinging the stool and moving lithely toward Houba. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees the whip mistress moving back as well so that she has room to wield her weapon. Other carnies rush about, including the Ironbeard Brothers, conjoined dwarves, who dart forward to start to drag Anissa away from screeching knot of monkeys. The Ironbeards' movement distracts a couple of the monkeys, but two more stay intent on Kaer.

Houba whirls her whip as she retreats. Her heel catches the bucket of water. The whip cracks! above the monkeys' heads, and they don't even wince at the sound. The noise does, however, refocus the attention of the two focused on the Ironbeards. Then Kaer finds himself attacked again, but this time by only a pair of the enraged simians. The barbarian suffers more cuts and bruises.

Deer Fight! Rounds 1 & 2

"Mom! Run! Run!" Vandro screams, and Rorbi look as if she is about to panic.

'They seem very coordinated for animals' Berm thinks to himself as they act with flanking attacks. He grunts at the stabbing by the horns of the deer.

Berm's rapier slashes a wound across the shoulder of one of the deer.

Zantalus steps back and fires an arrow at the deer before him, as his shot sails wide he frowns in concern.

Shalaye grabs Rorbi and runs, leading the woman away from the fight. Two deer pursue. Berm and Zantalus see that the oracle is leading Rorbi toward the river, but the deer are fast. Can they make it to the water before the deer catch up? Berm finds himself trying to fend off flailing hooves. One catches him in the hip. Then, the charging deer closes the distance, its antler lowered for the strike. Fortunately Berm manages to slip the attack. At the same time, Zantalus finds himself facing a bucking deer, but the animal's attack is clumsy and easily evaded.

Zantalus the Kebab Maker, Elven Wizard

Zantalus steps back again and attempts to shoot the deer menacing him - feeling rather preposterous for being menaced by a deer. His shaft flies straight and true, the arrows size doubling as it leaves the bowstring, and skewering the malevolent deer!

 

[Scott DeWar]

for the next round: The hoof stomp on his leg hurts as it cramps to a Charley horse, though he focuses his attack and attacks the deer again.

no crit.

Kaer Fegavas, human barbarian

Kaer breathes easier for a moment as the girl is pulled away, but then realizes he's not out of the woods yet. He swings the stool again, but between it's clumsy shape and the chaos of the monkeys, it's a pathetic attempt.

OOC: Improvised weapon attack; damage (1d20+1=2, 1d6+3=5) Yuck! BTW, I think the damage total may be off for Kaer. If I'm counting right, he's been hit three times for 2 points each time. Each of those are subject to his DR 1/- , so I think it's actually 3 instead of 5? UIt's a negilgible difference, so it's no big deal; this is mostly me trying to get used to how DR works (it's the first character I've played who has it) than anything, else.

Monkey Fight! Rounds 3 & 4

Kaer breathes easier for a moment as the girl is pulled away, but then realizes he's not out of the woods yet. He swings the stool again, but between it's clumsy shape and the chaos of the monkeys, it's a pathetic attempt.

"C'mon, Kaer!" Houba yells. "You swing that like a stool instead of a weapon! Ha!"

The tip of her whip darts past Kaer with another crack!. A monkey yelps in pain. The two monkeys distracted by the Ironbeards rescuing Anissa rush after the conjoined dwarves. The brothers twist, blocking Anissa with their gnarled double body. One brother takes a painful bite to the calf. Kaer defends himself as best as he is able, but he too suffers another minor wound. Kaer also notices the one seriously injured monkey that had been retreating for the safety of the wagons has collapsed. It twitches violently on the ground.

Deer Fight, Round 2 & 3

Zantalus steps back again and attempts to shoot the deer menacing him - feeling rather preposterous for being menaced by a deer. His shaft flies straight and true, the arrows size doubling as it leaves the bowstring, and skewering the malevolent deer!

The hoof stomp on Berm's leg hurts as it cramps to a Charley horse, though he focuses his attack and attacks the deer again.

The two attacks strike true, leaving two of the deer seriously injured. Shalaye shoves Rorbi further out of harm's way and then turns, chanting and gesturing. One of the deer's eyes roll madly in their sockets. The deer's sudden panic saves Shalaye from being gored. She deftly steps out of the way of the other deer's charge. Berm all but vanishes in the flurry of lunging deer. Berm gamely defends himself against most of the flailing hooves, but one cuffs him hard in the shoulder. Not too far away, Zantalus finds himself bruised and pained by another deer's attack.

[Scott DeWar]

Berm is lookig quite the worst for wear. another flury of hooves like that and he may not be standing! He has what ools to be some very serious gashes in his shoulder.

against the same deer as before he attemps another attack, though it seems out of desperation for his life.however it was for naught as the flurry of attacking hooves and antlers has totaly disrupted his aim.

Kaer Fegavas, human barbarian

"C'mon, Kaer!" Houba yells. "You swing that like a stool instead of a weapon! Ha!"

"If you have a spare blade instead of something honed by a warm rump, I'd be happy to swap out," Kaer returns, again proving pathetic in his attempts to take out the monkeys.

"This is why I hate mornings..." the rough man muttered under his breath.

Kaer also notices the one seriously injured monkey that had been retreating for the safety of the wagons has collapsed. It twitches violently on the ground.

The barbarian frowns. "Oh, bollocks, don't tell me these biting nasties have something catching..."

OOC: Oh, good grief. Seriously, eventually the algorithm has to come up with something other than a 1 or a 2, doesn't it? Improvised weapon attack, damage (1d20+1=3, 1d6+3=8)

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

Giving berm a worried glance, but seeing little he can do to aide him Zantalus steps back and sends another expanding arrow flying at the deer. But as it twangs his fingers and flies back he begins to worry about himself instead.

But Rupert - the weasel - leaps to his masters defense jumping down to stand between his master and the deer ready to attack should it advance!
[sblock=OOC]Rupert drops down into the square between Zantalus and the deer readying an attack for if the deer moves forward or attacks him. If he hits he does 1 damage and is automatically attached to the deer.[/sblock]
