(YBA) Kalath in Wicht's Lair III.

[Wicht]

The two companions travel down the stairs and soon come to a small lit room, five feet by five feet. Across the way from the stairs is a closed wooden door, eight feet in height.

Kalath approaches the door and examines it, first checking for traps and then opening, as quietly as he can.

 

[Wicht]

The door is untrapped and as Kalath peers through the door he can see one, two, maybe three ogres moving around in a relatively small room. He hears the booming voice of the ogres talking and also out of sight he hears one small shrill voice discussing the latest fashion in dungeon chains and manacles.

 

[graydoom]

"Hmmm... two or three ogres and something with a shriller voice... maybe an imp? Either way, this seems to the be the only way to proceed... so be ready. I don't we'll be able to sneak past them, so we'll probably have to fight. Of course, we can try to bluff our way past them... but they seem to know you too well."

Assuming no objections from Rettburg, Kalath moves into the room, prepared to fight.

As Kalath and Rettburg enter the room eight eyes turn towards them. There are three ogres and one small winged entity with a large nose, pink skin, two small horns and huge fangs.

"Heehee." giggles the imp, "who let out the rat? And what makes you think the boss won't just put you right back in hmm? And who is this with you and why did the alarms not go off as you are obviously intruders!"

"should we get them Skeirve?" asks one of the ogres.

Due to the fact my wife would probably enjoy me spending time with her on valentines day this is my last post for today

Kalath advances on the ogres and imp and waits for "Skeivre"'s reaction.

 

[Wicht]

"I don't care if Ooga does like him!" says Skeirve, "The boss will be happy to turn the rat back in! And its more fun questioning prisoners who are on the rack - take them alive if you can!"

As kalath wait, events around him begin to move fast, Two ogres and the imp move to grab Rettburg and another moves in to take hold of Kalath.

Current Hits: 17
Current Ki: 12

Kalath feints toward one of the ogres, then sucker punches the imp, putting enough power and energy into the blow to annihilate the annoying Imp in one strike!

Attack (SL +2) at Imp: The rabbit sucker punches the pillars; redirects the efforts of the rodent and removes the punch of the chi!

 

[Wicht]

Kalath deftly avoids the blows of the lumbering ogre and punching into the imp drains all vestiges of life from it. Rettburg fairs slightly worse as the two ogres tower over him and he takes 2 hits.
