Hearing others coming, Zynazyr positions himself so he can see down the hallway. He readies to cast a sleep spell when a group of the men have gathered near the doorway.
|
Two men come from further down the corridor, while three emerge from the door to the south.
One of the men coming from the door to the south has a more ornate helm than the others. He begins shouting orders to the others.
"You two! Hold The Doorway! Akos- get Poros out of there!"
One of the men from the back rushes forwards and pulls the sleeping man out of the doorway, who awakes (but is still prone and has no action this round). Two from the room rush to the doorway and attack with their swords. The leader and one other man in the back shoot crossbows past the mob.
Ana is hit with a sword; the rest of the attacks miss.
Zynazyr casts a sleep spell!
Sparkling sand descends on the group and they stagger. Only four remain standing; the leader is one of the fallen.
The man in the back calls out in despair "Auriga is down!"
Montague is nowhere to be seen.
Round 2 Initiative:
Block 1: Ana, Zynazyr, Fistep
Block 2: Some masked men
Block 3: Ferrous, Talikshim
Block 4: More masked men
Block 5: Montague
Block 6: Yet more masked men
Ferrous saw the wizard's spell overtake the enemy as each dropped to ground in a deep slumber. Enraged at the masked man whose sword he had just deflected with his shield Ferrous slams his axe in a downward swing.
Taklishim stays out of the way, much like using a tree to keep himself safe. He sees the sleep take effect and sees no need to summon the warrior spirit....
Pleased to see his sleep spell work, Zynazyr sends a bolt of energy towards the one that attacked Ana.
The energy flies between Ana and Ferrous and hits its target.
Taklishim readies his sling and waits to see who he should send the stone hurtling towards....spellcasters specifically....
"If anyone is injured rotate the frontline."
Frustrated that his last swing failed to pierce his opponents armor Ferrous made another swing with his axe.
Ana takes another swing at the nearest foe to her and then rotates out from the front.

Zynazyr strikes the man facing Ana with a bolt of magical energy, who is then cut down by Ana. Ferrous then swings at his man and misses.
The man lying on the floor behind the man Ana just downed gets to his feet. He looks around nervously, and kicks the man behind him. "Damned sorcery! Get up, by Thunderbolts!" The man behind wakes.
As Anna comes near him, and having used his lay on hands he inspects her deep cut and decides the scroll could save someone closer to death, he instead staunches the wound carefully packing it with an herbal poultice and wrapping it up....
"Be still you do not want the wound to scar. If you have to fight again use the other side for the weight of the weapon."

As Anna comes near him, and having used his lay on hands he inspects her deep cut and decides the scroll could save someone closer to death, he instead staunches the wound carefully packing it with an herbal poultice and wrapping it up....
An herbal poultice is used to stave off infection and disease from wounds. Any time a character is wounded by a creature that could cause disease with its attack (such as the bite of a giant rat) a herbal poultice may be applied to the wound after combat. This grants the victim a bonus to his saving throw against disease of to +1 to +4 (+1d4). Diseases vary widely and the ingredients of the poultice may have lesser or greater effect depending on the recipe (hence the effect is random).
Steps up into the space vacated by Ana. He calls out in as much of a commanding manner as possible Drop your weapons and yield! Your leader is down, let us talk before more bloodshed is split!.
As he shouts, he readies his shield and defense and prepares to strikes at the man in front of him if he doesn't comply.
Looks over Ana's wounds...
Casts cure light wounds
"Bravely done."
"Thank you," Ana responds, feeling the healing warmth spread over her.
Drop your weapons and yield! Your leader is down, let us talk before more bloodshed is split!.
"Yes!" Fineos shouts. "If you surrender we will show you the mercy of a quick death! Which is more than you rebels deserve! Resist and you will be flayed alive!"
"Will they dance at the end of a noose?"
"Cut their belly, let their innards loose!"
"Drive red-hot nails into their eyes!"
"The reward for rebellion is such a great prize!"

"Damn you Magi!" the lead man spits at Fistep. "Fall back! Back to the inner room!" The lead man steps back a few feet, weapon ready.
The man in the back rushes forwards, and shakes the man that looks like the leader. "Auriga! Wake up!" The leader seems to rouse .

Come Ferrous, my good dwarf, lets teach these miscreants a lesson! he says in an even tone, and steps in to swing at the "human camel".
Seeing the men retreat, Zynazyr tries to slow them down but is unable to get the door to close.
Taklishim sends a stone spinning from his sling into the thugs...

Ana raises her bow and looses an arrow at one of the men.
nice rolling
* Natural 20: A natural roll of 20 grants a "bonus hit." This allows you to roll again, with one of the following results:
* * A: if your first roll was not a hit, you may add the new roll to your old one to see if you hit.
* * B: if you hit but did not down your target then roll again and another hit does damage to the same target (as in a critical hit).
* * C (melee only): if you hit and down your target then you may make a free attack against another adjacent target (as in the 3.5 version of cleave).
Damage
need a second attack to hit to do the 2 damage.

Ferrous swings but misses.
The "leader" stands up, steps forward, and starts shouting orders. "Fall back to the south! I'll hold them here!"
"I'll never run from goblins!" one of the other men shouts.
"They're not goblins!" the leader responds. "Now move!"
The man in the rear drags his sleeping friend through the door to the south.

Fineos continues to sing in his croaking, out-of-tune voice.
"Yes, you can run but you can't hide,"
"Keep running 'till you're out of breath,"
"But we'll search the world for far and wide,"
"We'll surely find you and give you death!"
Swings his sword at the masked man in front of him since they apparently won't lay down their swords but he does try again Drop your swords and surrender!

Swings his sword at the masked man in front of him since they apparently won't lay down their swords but he does try again Drop your swords and surrender!
"So you can give us the mercy of a 'quick death?'" the leader snorts. "Not likely."

Ferrous growls in frustration as his axe has so far failed to find weakness in the men's armor but undaunted he strikes out at the leader who just stepped forward and attacked his friend Fistep.
With a wall of fighters in front of him, Zynazyr feels confident enough to step up to the doorway as he tries conjuring magic but fails.
|

Ferrous' swing fails to connect, and Zynazyr's conjuration fails to appear.
The man lying on the floor gets up, and at the leader's command drags the sleeping man into the south room.
The man beside the leader strikes at Ferrous, though his sword glances off Ferrous' armor. He then shuffles back a few steps.
"I'm not leaving you behind, Sir!"

"See the Gormish Brothers run!"
"We'll slit their noses just for fun!"
"You traitors now feel justice's sting,"
"For now you die, in the name of the King!"
Ana launches another arrow, aiming for the leader.
"Perhaps my stones will knock some sense into you an you will parley the next time we meet rather than try and fight those better at it."

Swings at the leader twice since he's insistent on a fight to the death.
"Enough! Your madness take you all! we are neither kings men nor rebels! We come from lands beyond the wastes and seek water for thirst and nothing else."
Seeing the grievous wound, Drop you weapon, live to fight another day for a better cause!
Montague remains hidden, thinking he can take up with whichever side is victorious.
Seeing the grievous wound, Drop you weapon, live to fight another day for a better cause!
"Yes! That's a good trick! If they drop their weapons we can slaughter them all easily!"
