Shael grimaces and gives a quiet hiss as Malcom blunders into her inside the gloom of the warehouse. She moves northward another five feet as she shakes her head and readjusts her aim.
Thats what I get for mixing my starting square into my post. Readjust position to F-12

Okay I'm back and this is going to get hairy!
"That's 'em! Yale says leave tha horned one alive!"
The thug that escaped yesterday is standing near the back of the warehouse, which happens to have ten very mean looking men coming at you from behind the crates and boxes. There is nothing but murder in their eyes.
Initiatives everyone, this is doubling as a roll call to make sure that everyone is still here.

Do I still get my ready action? ;)
Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Magic pulsed from her being and her crossbow burned with an infernal heat as her power swept through it in the instant that the enemy revealed themselves. As the fat thug ran his mouth the first of the thugs took a crossbow bolt to the chest at point blank range. As blood blossomed from his chest she yelled back at the fat thug. "So nice of you to lead by example coward. You want me then come and take me if your man enough!" Her eyes burned with an infernal light as she glared at the enemies coming at them in the gloom of the warehouse. It was going to be a long day.

Hearing the voice from inside made Ray's heart start to pound. He was so stupid! Why would they have been waiting outside of their own hideout? It made no sense! Gripping his quarterstaff, Ray mutters a prayer to Desna and hurries into the building.

Shael gave a roar as she casted her spell of shielding and a red mote of light began to dance around her, expanding and spinning wildly. A mote of pure chaos in the form of a wild ball. It was a pain to control but it had its... uses. She then steps on her crossbows handle and quickly reloads it in preparation to fire again. "Stand together everyone, don't let them draw us away from each other! Stand Firm!"

"Methinks she needs ta learn her some manners first, boss!" The thug behind the stack of old bags full of rotted feed comes out from his corner and nails Shael with a painful stab that finds the seam in her armor, but fortunately nothing vital.
Another two thugs come up on Malcom. They both swing and miss in their hurry to get rid of the man wielding a greatsword. Malcom in turn brings the sword swinging down, but he misses his target.
Gurni is also hit, but not by the thug that charged him. While he was fending off the charge, another thug came up around the crates and also stabbed him in an armor seam. Another thug tried to take advantage of the situation, but couldn't get around the crates.
The thug Shael shot pulls out a potion and downs it after ripping out the bolt. His wound mends some, but it's still there. Shanks also hangs back, not eager to fight this group again. The rest move up with sneers plastered on their faces, and more than a few leers thrown Shael's way.
Shael manages to cast her spell before the thug who just hit her realized what was going on. She takes a step to prevent Malcom from getting flanked.
Gurni takes a swing at the thug who stuck him, but misses as the thug shifts his stance.
Lucky casts a spell and the others feel a warm comforting feeling fall over them, despite the overwhelming odds.
Ray was the last one in the building. As he moves a shimmering energy begins to swirl around him as he completes his spell.
Both Gurni and Shael take 7 damage.
Shael_ |
OUCH! I will draw a sword then please~
With a shriek of rage and a flare of infernal light burning in her eyes Shael drops her crossbow and draws her blade. Just as it leaves its sheath though it lights up just like the crossbow, twin intense flames lick there way up the blade as a cruel smile twists Shael's lips. She speaks the language of demons into the leering mans face as she raises her free hand. "Jaodr rok vy'rj iy' zyndom..." With the last words she steps to the side and invokes her color spray spell.

[ooc]In another game i'm in the DM lets us roll AoO's and Saving throws to speed things up. Let me know if you do or do not want me doing this and I will not in the future. It helped because then we could write flavorful posts of our attacks felling an opponent and so on. It also saved the DM work if we already knew that THUG 1 had AC 12 and HP 6, ETC Etc. Then you wouldn't have to adjust our attacks if we over kill a guy. Just a suggestion. ;) You can use the rolls below if you want~

Sheal's spell washed over the three thugs and she clung desperatly to the hope they would all fall down.
Gurni One-knuckle. -NPC- |
Gurni took the blows in stride and prepared to give back as good as he got. He raised his Scizore and struck out at his opponent, giving the wily thug a brutal slash across the throat. He did however continue to fight defensively, trying to keep gaps in his defense to a minimum so the thugs couldn't get anymore hits on him.

Seeing that Shael is badly hurt, but not dying yet, her attacker turns his attention to Malcom. Malcom to his credit manages to avoid getting skewered by the three thugs now facing him. He does take a sting in the arm from the one on his right though.
Gurni doesn't fair as well, unfortunately. The thug that charged him moves to his side and lets his buddy come up and get a whack at the dwarf. Gurni manages to dodge or deflect most of the blows, but the thug who was moving to flank him manages to find the seem in his armor again and blood runs freely down Gurni's side.
That might be the last thing he does. Gurni manages to fell the uninjured thug in one blow, almost caving in his chest. The dwarf then falls to the floor as well, his blood beginning to stain the floor.
On the other side of the door. Shael, though injured is having better luck. She manages to get her spell off, much too quickly for the thug who was within reach of to do anything but make a half-hearted attempt to stab her. Shael's luck continues to hold as she catches not only the three atttack Malcom, but also a fourth moving in to support the others. Shanks turns white as a sheet as what seemed like an easy fight becomes a much harder one.

As the thugs fell like pins Sheal turned her baleful gaze on the remaining bandits and felt her heart stop as Gurni fell. At least he had taken one of them down with him. She barely recognized her own voice as she shrieked at them. "Don't worry Gurni, I'm coming for ya! MALCOM, gut that pig, starting with his jewels because of how Gutless he is to lead from the rear!" She unstoppered one of the potions of curing and downed it in a single swallow, throwing it savagely in the direction of the thugs and laughing as one of them dodged barely out of the way.

Just a tactical retreat to buff Malcom and then secure the door. I also think Lucky can use his buffs more easily when among his allies rather than getting cut down in melee trying to heal Gurni.

Malcom kills Shanks, his mighty sword cleaving the thug in two. The other thugs, seeing the tide turning against them, looks ready to flee, unfortunately, Shael stands between them and the only door.

Two of the thugs step up and take stabs at Shael. The first one trips and almost falls, but manages to keep his balance. The second one fares better, but his blade is stopped by the brilliant shield of arcane energy that suddenly materializes in front of Shael.
The others move around the crates. From the look of things, their going to try their luck with the greatsword wielding fighter.
Malcom sees the two miss. The thugs at his feet are still out cold, but even now some show signs of waking up. His mighty greatsword cleaves the head of one of the thugs from his shoulders.
Okay, Everyone else your up. Thugs are asleep for another 4 rounds

Both Shael and lucky miss their targets, but neither of the thugs has much luck hitting the two of them. The one attacking Shael has his blade knocked aside by an expert parry. Lucky's attacker fumbles his thin sword and has to spend a second getting it back under control.
Ray steps up and clubs one of the thugs hard with his quarterstaff. The blow crushes the man's windpipe, and dooms him to a slow death.
Malcom, having just having beheaded one of the ones on the floor finds himself facing two more and a third moving in from behind. One of them tried to squeeze by the crates, but isn't fast enough to get there before Malcom can react. The other has a clearer path, but his grip on his sword is too tight and he can't quite use the finesse required to slip it past Malcom's defenses.
Your turn. The blue ring thugs are out for another 3 rounds. Thug 9 is squeezing and has a -4 to his AC (AC 12).

You are both walking along a street approaching an abandoned smithy. There are sounds of fighting coming from a building behind it, about 60 feet from where each of you stand.
Malcom's sword slices through another thug and sends him sprawling to the ground. Another takes his place though. The two thugs facing Malcom both try to stab him, but they both fail to land a blow. The thug fighting Shael couldn't get past her impressive defenses, but the one fighting Lucky managed to score a hit. Lucky lived up to his name though, and despite the stinging wound, the damage was relatively light compared to what it could have been.
