So Helga, Corvus and Caithen on the ladder in that order..climbing at half speed it will take you a full round for Helga to reach the top
The Freeman leader pays no attention to the small Scavenger that lands on the building roof.
Helga sneaks off the top of the ladder, moving aside and holding her wand ready to 'zap' the anyone who turns around...
Stealth:
...oh crap...
The figure on the rooftop turns at the sound, see's Helga and cuts Jask's throat(readied action)
ROUND 1
Helga 18
Corvus 14
Umargo the Fanatical 10
Caithen 9
Atzi 6
Readied action: Use wand. Who's goes off first?
Actually I got it wrong..The throat cutting comes after Helga and Corvus actions in round 1..((I really need to read things properly))
Helga zaps The Freeman Leader with the wand just before he notices her.The Sleep Spell has no effect on him at all.
Corvus is up
Corvus panics slightly as the realisation that the potential death of this man is down to his actions and his alone. The options available run through his mind in micro-seconds, as he disregards those that would take too long to come into effect. It dawns on him that all of his useful remembered spells are therefore useless in this situation. He makes a quick mental note to reconsider his learnred spells for tomorrow.
In the absence of anything more useful, he casts the best spell he has at his disposal and a dart of acid springs from his hand and speeds to its target – his hope is that the damage inflicted might affect the man’s planned execution.
The acid hits the Freeman on the leg causing him to grimace in pain..In response he then cuts Jask's throat and shoves him towards the roof edge.
Yes we are..
Caution to the wind Caithan hustles up the ladder.
If on the ground it will take two move actions for her to - Get on Ladder / Climb ladder to the roof?
Again apologizes for the wait. Been a rough month. =/
Not wasting any Time Caithan simply rushes forward and tries to impale the mad man on his massive obsidian tipped spear.
Swift Challenge
Partial charge
Power Attacking Tetzo attack
she got on the roof yes..and the Freemen leader totally ignored her.
jask is sliding towards the edge what do you do???
JASK! HOLD ON!!
Atzi, seeing Jask rolling towards the edge, she flaps her wings in an attempt to close the distance. She lands roughly and bites into his clothing as she tries to stop him from rolling over the edge. Or at least slow him down...
Strength roll DC12 to stop him going over the edge..Dex roll DC15 if you fail that to allow you to break his fall on the way down to the ground.
The small pteranadon jets forward, landing on the rolling form of Jask and latches on. However her smaller mass and weak strength didn't help in slowing him down. They continued to tumble, over and over again, each roll crunches her smaller form but still she holds on. Her claws scrabble for a purchase, somewhere, anywhere as she struggled right up until she had the feeling of weightlessness. Just before the fall...
The last her companions see of her the druid never lets go and plummets over the edge with the bleeding Jask...
She attempts to right herself and use her animal form to blunt the impact for him and...
Fails in the endeavor...
Fate had other plans it seemed this day...
She continues to struggle until she impacts the streets near the building...
Helga also dives for the falling Jask...
Strength check:
...if he falls on Umargo's initiative, I got him!
Bump :)
Caithen's spear sinks into the fanatics thigh.
Atzi makes a valiant but futile effort to save her friend.
Who is saved at the last second by Helga.
Round 2
Helga 18 saving Jask
Corvus 14
Umargo the Fanatical 10
Caithen 9
Atzi 6
Seeing your fight on the rooftop the guard initiates an attack on the compound which will occupy the other Freemen
bump :)
Corvus' faith in his magic is shaken and so he grabs his crossbow and fires off a quick shot at Umargo.
Corvus bolt flies past the Freemen Leader
His response to this is not to attack but to make himself as big as he can and swing his Kukhri's menacingly.
Dazzling display..intimdate on everyone in 30' radius.
Helga and Corvus are shaken on their next action..Atzi and Caithen are not impressed at all
Atzi 6 - After Caithen
Her little wings shook as she watched Jask bleed out before her eyes. So much blood...
She didn't think in the next moment, she reacted in a way that surprised even her. She laid her wing across Jask neck and felt a surge of warmth that filled her being for the briefest of moments. When she pulled her wing away the bleeding had stopped completely...
With him out of danger for now the small dinosaur moved between the fanatic and her companions. Unimpressed by his display but wary nonetheless...
Bump
Still waiting for Caithen..I'll make a post for him at the end of the day today.
Caithan stabs the fanatical murderer again trusting in the others to save Jask. "Fancy dances don't frighten me fiend!"
Attack
Damage
Umargo is so busy trying to intimidate you all that Caithen finds a spot to stab him again total Damage 42

Not relying on his magic to deal with the current predicament, Corvus draws his bow and fires off a bolt.
Corvus' bolt just misses [remember -4 for firing into melee]
Helga drags Jask back away from the fray and whispers a charm for healing.
Cure Light Wounds:
Jask comes round and will get an initiative roll next round.
Waiting on The Fanatic :(

5ft. shift back.
Attack (challenge, p.attack)
Damage
Caithen reels from his wounds but manages to collect his wits enough to sink his spear into the exulting Umargo once more
Total Damage 59
Despite the solid hit Umargo is not vanquished yet he grins at Caithen.."Now you die Invader" he hisses
YOU SON OF A B&*()!
Umargo's threat twists into a scream as the Pteranodon tears into his leg with pure savagery. She aimed at his openings. Hoping to tear open a major vein and bleed him like a stuck pig.
I WILL KILL YOU! She shrieked around the blood flowing into her toothy maw as she bite and tore at the fanatic. Her eyes reflected the murderous surge she felt, he harmed Jask, injured her friends and now one of them would die and it was either him or her.
Umargo looks down in surprise at the Pteranadon savaging his leg. he falters and then staggers.
Umargo is on 0hp..well done Atzi..it's all down to Helga and Corvus now..if they miss he'll probably take Caithen with him.
Round 4
Helga 18
Corvus 14
Umargo the Fanatical 10..staggered
Caithen 9
Atzi 6
Helga draws her rapier as she lunges at the reeling fanatic:
Attack: Damage:
Confirm: Damage:
"Go to your gods and tell them the Ulfen sent you!"
Umargo looks down in seeming surprise at the rapier point protruding from his chest and falls to his knees then slumps face first to the rooftop.
Down below the guard break into the compound and there is a brief but bloody fight resulting in a number of dead Freemen.The death of their leader has demoralised them and some survive to surrender.
Jask immediately moves to succor Caithen calling on his deity to heal the Cavalier
CSW
Corvus shakes his head at the fallen foe. The run-in with the dogs earlier had him thinking that adventuring was a relatively straightforward way to pass the time. Being in the thick of combat has shaken up his idea of what life is going to be like.
'I clearly need a better startegy if I'm to be an effective member of the team. Once we're back in the arms of safety, I think I'll share my throughts with my fellow protagonists.'
Helga sheaths her blade, and draws a deep breath.
"That was invigorating," she remarks cheerfully. "Does this happen a lot around here?"
Atzi shifts, growing back into her human, form before she ensures that Tlatoc isn't harming anyone with a quick command and then returns to Jask's and Caithen's side. "I am glad we made it out of this somewhat alright..." She turns and with a swift, albeit weak kick, she smacks the downed Umargo in the gut. "mnyonge mtu! Jinsi kuthubutu wewe madhara rafiki yangu!"
"Wretched Person! How dare you harm my friends!"
A trickle of blood emerges from Umargo's mouth. jask raises an eyebrow bends and stabilises the fanatic.
"We will let justice take it's course with this one" he says.
Within minutes the Freemen are being rounded up and the guard make their way to the top of the Flensing shed.
"Well " says the Captain you met earlier "Seems like the city owes you people a debt..and you saved Umargo for the rope..that's mighty good of you. Call in at the barracks later there will be your reward waiting"
You had time to loot him of his gear if you wanted to
+1 kukri, masterwork kukri, amulet of natural armor +1
"Thanks for that chap and for the save their HElga." Caithan says rubbing at the new scar on his face. "Bloody savage had a devilish swing."
She shrugs her shoulders at Jask, knowing her vicious kick was uncommon of her but the man deserved little mercy. "He is like the Bekyar and deserve no mercy Jask. He held little regard for your life and that is more vile then any evil we have faced so far. The Bekyar would enslave anyone they could find, even when you were due to be wed..." She trails off before smiling broadly again. "I will go and see how much of our supplies got burned earlier."
She will head off to check on their supplies with Tlatoc.
Corvus eyes Atzi strip the body of anything valuable. He certainly wasn't judging her, but the action took him a little by surprise. 'Well I suppose they have to earn a living somehow and he was the instigator. With any luck we'll take out a wizard soon and I can see if he's got a spell-book on him.' That thought cheered Corvus and a smile spread across his face - that to anyone watching would have seemed odd, given the lack of obvious reason to smile.
