[Adventure] The Race of the Five Horns (DM: stonegod, Judge: THB)

[pacdidj]

"Treachery!," Crush shouts as he draws his longsword and in the same motion slices the adjacent crossbowman's hamstrings.

The metal warrior then careens around the table taking up a position near Ryk and Bellegon, hoping to bolster his allies defenses.

[sblock=ENW Dice roller]If using it, please summarize the results in your actual post so I don't have to have to windows open[/sblock]Assassination! Round 1

Ryk pulls back, sending a warning shot against one of the deathless-dressed Cyrans. It cuts a serious blow on the back of her head. She turns to the halfling with a glare.

[1 Hit. Bloodied]

Bellegon draws forth his rod and casts dark shadows on the fake elf, but she resists his magic.

[Miss. Cursed. You are not 5th yet]

Rikka calls forth a blast of thorns but they are harmlessly deflected by the iron body of the construct protecting the hook-nosed Cyran leader. She pulls back.

[Thorn spray misses. You can move, but not through the bystanders. While you can draw your bow, you'll have to drop or put away your totem before using it.]

Vok draws up, an imposing presence, and sends his ire against the woman on their table. She gives him a sharp look, weapons in hand. But she does not have any time to react before her legs are cut from beneath her. She smashes into the table, toppling it over.

[L2 hit and gone. Table now difficult terrain.]

The iron construct, seeing its master threatened, barks with a deafening roar. Two of the bystanders collapse lifelessly, blood pouring from their ears and mouth. Bellegon, Crush, Ryk, and Vok are all assaulted by the wall of sound and shoved back!

[ID uses howl. Hits Bellegon, Crush, Ryk, and Vok: pushed 3 squares and take 12 thunder damage. Darkspiral aura does not trigger.]

Hook-Nose sneers at the party joins the battle. Kill them! Kill them with the traitor! The half-elf now behind bows to her demand and makes a quick slash at Crush, then follows up with another before pulling back to defend the mage and tosses a dagger at the beleaguered halfing. None however strike their mark.

[Patriot takes free attack from Leader, then makes its normal double attack. All miss]

The mage, seeing the group being pushed towards him, panics and shoots blindly at the dark warlock. Fire explodes around the group, killing more of the bystanders and hitting Bellegon hard and wounding many of the others, including one of their own!

Area fire attack Crits Bellegon; hits Spring and Ryk. 10 damage to all, 5 ongoing fire, and knocked prone.]

The other assassins continue to assault the Lord. The one knocked down stands up and shifts away from the prone enemies.

Assassination! Round 2

OOC: Everyone up. Obvious foes (ones that attacked) are marked in magenta.

[sblock=Maps]

There are stairs to get up to the stage (which is 5' up). The line indicates a higher level in the back that is difficult terrain to get up. Pillars provide cover for those next to them; you cannot move through table.

There are a lot of bystanders.[/sblock]Combat Details

Vok slashes at the woman between himself and Bellegon, but his sword gets caught in the table as he struggles to avoid the bystanders. He points the blade at Ryk and a divine light extinguishes the flames that cling to the ranger.

[On Puget Sound]

Did something move me 3 squares? Last I knew Ryk had shifted to I7.

 

[stonegod]

OOC: You have an AP. The construct's howl pushed you 3 sqs.

 

[On Puget Sound]

OK, one more question before I post: Did Ryk's Second Chance power get used against the Howl (and fail) or is it still available?

 

[On Puget Sound]

Grateful for Vok's fire extinguishing magic, Ryk painfully staggers to his feet and cautiously edges toward Crush, feeling a bit more confident with an ally by his side.


move: Ryk and Spring stand up
standard: Ryk shifts to I9
minor: quarry CP
At start of Crush's turn: Ryk and Spring gain 5 thp (already noted in status)

[MetaVoid]

OOC: I don't think Ryk and Bellegon gain THP as they're not adjacent to Crush anymore. And it's not clear whether we need to wait for crush to act this round to gain them. stonegod, what does 1 charge mean in Bellegon status Also, could you name the targets, I'm having hard time following who's who this way, at least once something like MW = mage; ID = guardian constructs etc...

Not bothering to stand up, Bellegon draws his dagger and as shadows flow from him he hamstrings closest enemy reaching over the table top. The shadows race from the dagger and push the target toward Vok. As he turns on the floor, fire dies down.

He raises his voice
"Everybody out!!"

then turns toward the mage
"I'll show you the pain that sears your very soul. My flesh will heal, you - WILL -NOT, ELF!" a hint of maddness creeps into drow voice as he shouts over the din of the battle

if you are adjacent to Crush at start of his turn you get the thp. I hope, since I skipped attacking in order to get there....
