Two guys in the courtyard feel their way out of the smoke,
a bunch more do the same and three go by Nev....he can aoo one of them, they're down the stairs otherwise.
One blunders into Aethor; he can aoo the guy. I made him orange at z20.
Another one bumps Aethor; the two swing at the slayer; both miss.
Several emerge from the smoke.
Leik can aoo one of the many who went past him as well.
In the cell, it's pitch black. Larissa can see that the drunken idiots are pulling the Beast's chains. Telling him to get up and march.
The beast stands and bellows, the chair splintering under his might. He picks up one of his assailants and hurls him past Larissa, to crumple on the stairs.
"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!!!"
It is heard outside. Everybody stops what they're doing for a second.
Group's turn.
| Leik Fire |
AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 vs touch
fire: 3d8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3, 5) + 2 = 16
Leik moves back to be even with NKai, and charges his whip.
acrobatics if necessary: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
"That sounds scary. better leave while you still have legs."
| Larissa Brightfoot |
"He will easily kill you all tonight. None of us can stop him. Best you return to your homes and sleep off your drunk."
She casts stabilize on the body on the stairs in hopes that he's not utterly dead after the throw, then moves over to check for certain. She cannot check, move, and stabilize him in the same round, so...
| N´Kai Sureblade |
That Nev guy is probably someone with a lot of class... ;P
N'Kai attacks one of the villains...
AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
He then casts Grease in front of both Leik and him to cover the entrance
AD 14-15 & AE 14-15. Reflex save DC 14 or fall prone
| Edwin Drood |
Still invisible, Edwin eyes the cloud of smoke covering the entrance. He sighs in resignation. He's fairly certain that he won't be able to make it all the way through the smoke AND the mob before needing to take a breath. He take several deep breaths, then shouts,...
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
"Run for your lives! Get out! Get out!"
Before taking another deep breath and running straight through the smoke as fast as his legs will go.
Double move, (Aiming for AE13) trying to get to the inside doorway where he figures that at least some of the others are standing guard. Of course he does not know that some mobs have made it to the basement. Or about the Grease spell on the front door,... ;P
| Edwin Drood |
Edwin skates and slides, reaching out to steady himself and stop himself from landing on his bum by grabbing the door frame with one hand, and N'Kai with the other.
"We really must stop meeting like this." Edwin gives N'Kai a small, tight smile.
Oops, Edwin is still Invisible. So N'kai FEELS Edwin grab his shirt, but probably doesn't realize who it is until Ed speaks. :)
| N´Kai Sureblade |
N'Kai almost jumps back when he feels the invisible investigator's hand grabing his clothing, but relaxes when he hears Edwin's voice. "I was hoping you would eventually come and join us, detective!! Glad to have you back." he replies good-naturely.
"We definitly could use your talents with the whip to support us from the second line. Or you could go and help Rholf and Larissa downstairs. Leik and me will try to keep more of the villagers from entering the basement where Dobitoc is."
| dungeonmaster heathy |
Dobitoc walks over to the stairway, past Rholf and Larissa, they can aoo him, and then he walks out past Leik, Edwin and N'kai who can also aoo him. Leik, Edwin, and N'kai can also resist his overrun or voluntarily let him through. He's kinda big tough.
He steps into the grease, and falls on his arse in the smoke.
"HE GOT LOOSE!!! HE GOT LOOSE!!!"
Group's attack....
| Edwin Drood |
"I shall endeavor to,... Oh,... Cr@p." Edwin says to N'Kai, fading into visibility as his concentration wavers. N'Kai sees Edwin's eyes go huge, then the detective scrambles to the side, dragging the warrior with him as Dobitoc plows through.
"Dobitoc! PLEASE! Stay down! we can help you!" Edwin cries as the creature tries to get back up.
Edwin pulls N'kai, whose vest he is still gripping, closer.
"Get RID of these idiots! Try not to kill anyone, but club them senseless if you have to! If they are too stupid to run, Dobitoc will kill them without even trying!" He hisses in N'Kai's ear, easily heard despite the ruckus surrounding them.
"IDIOTS! IMBECILES! FLY YOU FOOLS! IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, RUN!" Edwin shouts at the crowd as he draws his whip.
This crowd has proven, uncooperative, with Diplomacy/Persuasion. Let's try some good old fashioned INTIMIDATE:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
THAT'S more like it! :)
Edwin snaps his whip around, cracking it with enough skill to make it sound like a small thunderbolt.
"FLEE YOU FOOLS!" He thunders almost as loud as his whip.
| Edwin Drood |
Ed plans to try and keep Dobitoc from getting back up using the Grease spell and his whip to keep the golem off balance. He will use Diplomacy/Persuasion to try to prevent Dobitoc from going Hulk on these idiots. (Although I agree with above, after all this he has earned a shot at these morons) ;P
SO< Keep Dobitoc from getting up and squashing these imbeciles like bugs, and AoO any idiot determined to get next to Dobitoc and hit him while he's down. :)
| Larissa Brightfoot |
Larissa does not attempt to dissuade the golem as he lumbers by. She looks at the mob men. "Congratulations, you have participated in a jail break. If you would quietly file into that empty cell until the deputies have time to take your confessions, it would be much appreciated. Might be safer in there than on the streets, too."

She hears a voice from AX 12; in the dark she can see it's a guardsman locked in a cage.
"Depending on which guardsman you ask,....." he laughs.
| Aethorduil Faelaiien |
Aethorduil is profoundly worried by the simple fact that the Creature does not know nor has ever met him... and any good will that it has towards the others will not flow to him.
| Leik Fire |
Leik will not AoO the beast, and he cannot use his fire whip to trip (didn't choose that ability yet).
Leik will move up and ready an attack on any that try to hit the prone Dobitoc. (down two squares, auto-succeed on the acrobatics check to move at half speed)
aid another on Dobitoc: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 vs DC 10
although theatrically it would look more like a readied attack, really he is just trying to throw off attackers by cracking his fiery whip in their face and such, so i did an Aid Another to give him +2 AC versus their assaults.
