[WoT Adventure] Turn 4

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Jain Hadlin, Ready and waiting

[OOC: If Jain can tell that the traps gone off and sees the beggar scramble through the door, he'll take a shot at him. He will use Heroic surge if nessacary.]

 

[Shalimar Shiawase]

Shalimar will stop concentrating on the shield of air embarresed that to hide was her first impulse.

Hiding behind this is so undfignified, Yuri isn't hiding behind a shield, either is Lila Sedai, or even Tomas. I will not be a mouse, I am every bit as brave as they are.

She will move to the most hurt thug(the one Yuri hit), and (if he is in a five foot step) she will begin to weave one of the ost complex weaves she knows. Strands of air, flow easily into place almost as if they want to be woven. The strands of spirit swirl together into the weave almost as easily. orking the fnal strands of water into the weave prooves to be the most difficult part. (Heal 1, hopefully she will only heal 7 points, but oh well)

I can at least do this to make sure the fool survives, he probably did not know better. How will I ever become an Aes Sedai if all I do is heal people?

OOC: (edited due to confusion)

 

[Enforcer]

Blood and ashes! This is what comes from leaving my bloody armor in my bloody room! And I didn't even get to kill the bastard!

Edit (I thought there was just the tied-up guy)

Yuri glides up to the remaining threat, and tries to take him out.

Pedron

[OOC: Pedron doesn't do that much damage with his rapier. Either he scored a critical or the thug didn't have much in the way of hitpoints.

By the way, I cheated a bit--I was having trouble visualizing the layout of the ambush, so I checked the book for the map. It'd be nice to have those maps in the future, if possible.]

Pedron watches the thug go down, and seeing the blood on his rapier, realizes what he's done. For a moment, he just stares. He was in a knife fight once, and both he and the bully who had attacked him were cut up pretty badly, but both of them could walk home afterwards. That was the most harm he'd ever done to another human being before now. Compared to that wild fight, this was easy, just aim and thrust, and a man's life is ended. A thug, true, but most people would think that Pedron wasn't much better. The thief feels himself beginning to shake and brutally quashes that train of thought. He's dead, I'm not. I outplayed him, that's all--he's the one who chose the stakes. And the game's not done yet. He wipes his rapier off on his cloak and sheaths it.

The one remaining thug is now surrounded, but the beggar was out the door as soon as this mess started. Pedron leaves the others to deal with the thug and his Power-held comrade and heads into the street to search for the beggar. If he sees the beggar, he'll follow, trying not be seen.

Edit--minor grammatical stuff

Just to recap the current situation...

Two of the thugs are on the ground, with negative hit points; they will be dead soon if left untreated. Yuri killed one; Pedron the other.

One is encased in a Harden Air weave; only Sirsei and Shalimar can see the flows, but it's pretty obvious that something is keeping him from moving.

The fourth thug (and the only one that's free to move) is between Tomas and Ashrem at the back door.

The beggar has run out of the back room; presumably Jain will fire at him as soon as he can.

Re: Pedron

OOC: Pedron doesn't do that much damage with his rapier. Either he scored a critical or the thug didn't have much in the way of hitpoints.

OOC: You did max damage to a 4 hit-point Thug, putting him at -3; Yuri did max damage to a 7 hit-point thug, so he's at -7. Both could still be stabilized; they're not dead yet, but they will be soon if no one does anything.

 

[Enforcer]

[Note edit to previous post] My bad, thought there was just the one guy.

 

[Tay-Dor]

Lord Tomas advances on the man between him and Ashrem. Speaking surely in his trained voice, "I am Lord Tomas Menorian of House Menorian. Surrender now to the Queen's justice, or be slain."

[ooc: oooh...if I roll a 19 on my rep check (for a total of 25), then the thug might have heard of me Iand I can get a bonus to my intimidation attempt. Yah...okay...like that'll happen. I can dream tho.]

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Seeing the thug between himself and Tomas, he struck out at the first opportunity. He was caught up in the fever of battle. He had dueled more than a few times back home, but this was different. This had been an ambush and he wasn't about to fight fair if they weren't.

[OOC: Flanking the thug, Ashrem will attack him. If I miss, trigger my Dark One's Own Luck.]

[OOC: Flanking the thug, Ashrem will attack him. If I miss, trigger my Dark One's Own Luck.]

Ashrem stabs at the remaining thug, but the thug manages to twist out of the way <sorry, missed even with the retry>.

Shalimar lets the shield of hardened air drop, and steps to the side of the most seriously injured thug, weaving Spirit, Air, and Water into Healing <5 points of damage turned into subdual, and Healing weaves automatically stabilize; he's now at -3, but will recover with rest>.

Outside, Jain fired an arrow at the beggar as he ran out the door. But the shot missed wildly, and the beggar was running in the direction of the still-crowded main streets of Caemlyn, and running far faster than you would have thought he could.

Pedron followed the beggar out the door, seeing Jain's arrow fly by. He could still see the beggar, but the beggar was outrunning him.

The remaining thug, not entirely realizing the hopelessness of his situation, ignored Tomas' demand for a surrender and took another swing at Ashrem, no more competently than his first one <crit fumble>. Yuri took advantage of the opening; the thug joined his comrades on the ground.

Lila adjusted the Hardened Air around the thug she had trapped, so that his head was no longer inside the weave, and tied the weave off.
