Rhavi moves over to the wall and throws a bomb at the Stag Lord

attack against touch ac, -2 for range: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 2 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Edit: probably wont hit so miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 7
That instead hits on the bridge to the right of him. He takes 4 damage, DC 14 for half
Throw weapon rules

Kazmuk follows the others, keeping his shield raised as he closes the distance towards the bandit lord.

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

@Rhavi - since its in the 3rd range increment it would miss by 3 squares to the right, unless you have something that increases your range increment.

As Andreas and Kazmuk step over the wall and move forward, they both hear a noise. Andreas gets a distinct memory of Auch, as to the right of you a badger barrels forward, having lain down under some debris at the base of the wall. I put a before/after for the badger to make it apparent where he started and ended.

The badger charges at Kazmuk, and slams its head directly into his armoured leg, shaking its head it pain.

Badger Bite vs Kazmuk: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The Stag Lord steps forward, grinning and you see a the eyes of the helmet light up as his arrows fly. The Stag Lord aims with as though Andreas isn't standing still the first arrow slamming into his chest, ribs cracking as his armour flexes but holds. Andreas takes 24 damage.

Stag Lord vs Andreas FF AC, sobered up, FE, PBS, DA: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 28

You are up.

Rillka cringes as she hears the sound of the arrow strike home, knowing a friend has been harmed. She moves from cover and casts Snowball at Antler Head.

Ibhola Leqhwa! she casts and the ball forms in her hand.

Ranged Touch Att: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 4) = 10 +DC 14 Fort save or be staggered for 1 rd

Staggering a step back, Andreas rushes forward, veering slightly off to the side and positions himself defensibly.
I provoke an AoO
You can still come out of this alive, surrender now and I will show you mercy. You may strike me down but the Dragon Throne army is already at your door. You are trapped...it is over.
bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Andreas hopes his words give the stag lord pause as he is severally wounded and he is out of position.

I will post tomorrow, botting Rhavi and Kazmuk if necessary.

Kazmuk brings his hammer against the badger as he looks towards Andreas, stepping towards him while he keeps his guard up.

Attack (warhammer): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

The Stag Lord only has a ranged weapon out, so can not take an AoO.

Rhavi throws a bomb from here current location at the Stag Lord, concentrating to exclude Andreas from the splash zone. The throw goes long however and misses everything.

attack against touch ac, -2 for range: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 2 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Stag Lord Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

As the bomb sails overhead, Kazmuk deals a blow to the badger while Rillka's snowball hits and staggers the Stag Lord.

Andreas demands the Stag Lords surrender.

Up close, Andreas can see that the Stag Lord looks unharmed except for the damage Rillka's snowball just dealt. The man smells of stale alcohol and sweat, but the Stag Lord's eyes are coherent and sharp, and his grin ominous as he responds to Andreas. "You have come here, trying to over throw me... you should have gone for the kill. Now your friends are trapped here with me."

The Stag Lord nocks an arrow, drawing back his bow, giving Andreas an opening to attack. At this range The Stag Lord essentially places the arrow top a foot from Andreas' chest and fires, the arrow ripping into Andreas chest. Andreas falls to the ground, unconcious.Andreas gets an attack of opportunity, and then takes 14 damage. This puts Andreas at 38 damage taken and 33 hp at the start of the fight, so -5 hp. Andreas must make a DC 10 constitution check with a -5 penalty to stabilize at the start of his next turn.

Stag Lord vs Andreas, sobered up, FE, PBS, DA: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 14

The badger... cackles... as he see Andreas go down and attacks Kazmuk again, though Kazmuk's armour continues to prove too effective for the badgers bites.

Badger bite vs Kazmuk: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Stag Lord (-10), Badger (-8)

Ibhola Leqhwa! she casts another snowball.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2) = 14 +DC 14 Fort save or be staggered for 1 rd

Rillka's heart breaks seeing Andreas fall... she fights back tears and screams obscenities in halfling at Antler Head.

Yes I would be at -5 right now if my AoO attack is not successful.

I did not see it but did the stag lord save vs rilka's spell? or was that against Rhavi's spells...

I am not sure if this will work but it was part of my plan and why I move to the location I did. We shall see...if not, oh well. I could not get to him and attack last round so I needed to place myself in a position where no matter where he moves to...he will provoke an AoO...(I hope at least)

Andreas smiles slightly as the stag Lord speaks...

"You have come here, trying to over throw me... you should have gone for the kill. Now your friends are trapped here with me."

Attacking is not always the best tactic.

Rhavi doen't have precise bomb yet, so can't exclude anyone, so good it went long ;-)

Afraid of hitting her new friends, Rhavi instead climbs over the wall and draws her sword, moving over next to the badger

Not sure if I can move diagonally over the wall, so I can get next to the badger, without spending my action to move (started in the corner on the other side of the wall). If I can, she'll attack instead

Worried about Andreas, Kazmuk's swing is less precise than before, missing the badger he is battling. He steps closer to Andreas...

Attack (warhammer): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

@Andreas, the Stag Lord failed his save and was Staggered so he could use a move or standard action still, that's why there was only one arrow.

Narrating back to Andreas AoO.

As the Stag Lord takes aim, Andreas slashes at the Stag Lord's bow. Quick as Andreas' blade is, the Stag Lord manages to keep his bow safe and fires and arrow into Andreas' chest.

Back to current round actions.

Stag Lord Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The Stag Lord shudders under the impact of another snowball, Rillka's attack being very successful.

Rhavi clambers over the wall and attacks the badger with Kazmuk, Rhavi's blow striking home against it. Kazmuk's strike misses as he moves toward the Stag Lord.

The Stag Lord's face becomes a grimace as he glares at Rillka, "Begone witch!". The Stag Lord fires and arrow that slices through the air towards Rillka's head. Trying to dodge, Rillka pulls her head out of the way, but smacks it into the railing very hard. Rillka takes 16 damage. Trying out narrating everything except the final blow as some type of non-catastrophic damage.

Stag Lord vs Rillka w/ Cover, PBS, DE: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 + 4 = 16

DC 10 Con Save Andreas, -5 penalty: 1d20 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 5 = 2

Andreas lies motionless on the ground, continuing to bleed out. Andreas takes 1 damage and is not stable.

Stag Lord (-24, staggered), Badger (-11), Andreas (-6)

You are all up again.

@Rillka, I gave you cover vs the Stag Lord due to the walkway railing and I realized that the Stag Lord should have partial cover vs your ranged attacks due to the wall. You other attacks would have hit anyway, but I wanted to let you know so that when you see me take it into account going forward its not a surprise.

Rillka's head swirls, and she want to throw up, but she is able to cast Windy Escape and focus on her magic for another snowball. She moves forward trying to get close to make it count.

I am no witch, I am the storm! Rillka shouts as she moves, more to convince herself than anything.

Immediate Action to gain DR 10/Magic...I think his weapon is magic; but gotta try.

Ibhola Leqhwa! another frigid ball forms in her hands.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 6) = 13 +DC 14 Fort save or be staggered for 1 rd

I am unsure of the heights of the wall vs towers... I have 30' of movement and could get to my token's new position if getting from the tower to wall isn't more than an extra 5'-and actually possible- ...if she can't get there, move to the closest spot I can still target the SL

The Staglord being so deadly with his bow gives Kazmuk an idea. He asks for the Forgefather for the knowledge to build, even if by building he'd need to destroy. He pictures a slightly smaller bow in his head as he finishes his prayer and moves towards the bandit lord, touching his bow!

Touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Casting Wood Shape before moving to touch the Staglord's weapon. Will DC 14 to resist, otherwise would shape his bow into a smaller one, or more curved, in a way that the string would be useless until fixed.

Taking a step to her left to bring her in between the Stag Lord and the badger, Rhavi attacks the badger again

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

Stag Lord Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

As Rillka moves around to flank, Kazmuk steps up and grabs the Stag Lord's bow. As Kazmuk chants an incantation, the bow warps and becomes unusable.

Rhavi takes on the badger, but misses her mark.

The Stag Lord growls in frustration, dropping the useless piece of wood and stepping to the side. As the Stag Lord moves draws a longsword from his back. "I'll make you pay for that!" The Stag Lords first attack is wild and misses, but the second one is a thrust that pierces Kazmuk's armour. Kazmuk takes 8 damage from the crit.

Stag Lord vs Kazmuk, sobered up: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Stag Lord vs Kazmuk, sobered up crit?: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 2 = 21
Damage crit?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The badger continues is furious attack against Rhavi. The bagder gets its teeth locked around Rhavi's leg. Rhavi can feel the muscles bruising and the skin being cut as the badger shakes its head. Rhavi takes 8 damage.

Badger vs Rhavi: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Andreas DC 10 Con Save, -6 penalty: 1d20 + 2 - 6 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 6 = -1

Andreas shudders on the ground, his breathing coming raggedly.

Stag Lord (-24), Badger (-11), Andreas (-7)

You're all up again. With the bow destroyed I feel there is hope again.

Also, Andreas has a constitution of 14, so he will bleed to death if he fails 7 more saves or is otherwise not healed. So no rush quite yet, but its non-ideal.

Taking another step to her left, Rhavi attacks the badger again

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

As Kazmuk is hit by the sword, he grimaces as he notices how close to the edge the Staglord is. He spits on the ground before hammering his shoulder against the bandit lord!

Bull Rush: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Hoping to knock him down to the ground floor. Do not have the Improved feats, so this will provoke an AOO from the Staglord.

Realizing she is out of magical reserves, grievously wounded, but unwilling to run, Rillka pulls out her halfling slingstaff, and launches a bullet at Antler Head.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

@Kazmuk do not take any damage from the last post per what I wrote in the discussion page.

@Rillka, do you have something that mitigates the -4 for shooting into combat?

The Stag Lord shudders as Kazmuk hits him, but does not move. His head lurches as Rillka's sling stone hits it.

Rhavi stabs the badger, creating a gushing wound along its back. The badger howls and backs up across the roof growling at Rhavi.

The Stag Lord grins as Kazmuk fails to move him and thrusts his blade forward, twice. The first strike hits, but the second gets deflected by Kazmuk. Kazmuk takes 8 damage. Remember not to take any damage from the last post.

Andreas DC 10 Con save, -7 penalty: 1d20 + 2 - 7 ⇒ (11) + 2 - 7 = 6

Andreas continues to bleed out.

Having fought with the Stag Lord nearby, Rillka and Kazmuk have noticed that there are a number of empty spots in a bandolier on his chest and when you engaged him on the roof he didn't have any of his injuries from earlier. He doesn't appear to have any more vials or potions and would have no where to hide them on his person.

Stag Lord (-24), Badger (-19), Andreas (-8)

You are all up again.

@Rostam - At the time of posting I was not sure of the resolution of Kazmuk's Bull rush - where Rillka would either be firing into melee, or if Antler Head was knocked from the roof (although if he falls prone, he is also at +4 AC vs ranged attacks....), or if something else may happen, so I did not apply any penalties.

Having nearly pelted Kazmuk as he rushed in, Rillka draws out her Magic Missile wand, Aireratzea! she casts from the wand.
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Rillka knows that friend and foe have given their full measure, and in a moment she has never experienced before, she knows what it is like to stand and give everything. Whichever comes next; she is ready for it.

Victory or Death!!

I assume the badger took the whitdraw action, so no AoO? If not the case, I'll give you an attack here

Taking the badgers retreat as a sign that it has had enough for now and will keep out of the action, Rhavi runs straight at the Stag Lord, hoping to get a chance to catch him between her and Kazmuk

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

I assume i can attack over the edge of the floor, if not, she will move to the square to her left, just below the Stag Lord

With no other choice but keep fighting, Kazmuk attacks once more with his hammer.

Attack (warhammer): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Extra Damage: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

The Stag Lord growls in pain as the missile and Kazmuk's blows land, while Rhavi runs up beside him and misses her attack.

The Stag Lord steps to the side, getting between Rillka and Kazmuk. "I will end you yet!" His breathing becoming more and more laboured, and he his movements are becoming more erratic.

The Stag Lord slashes at Kazmuk, landing a blow that looks like it was almost way worse, while the follow up thrust misses the mark. Kazmuk takes 7 damage.

Stag Lord vs Kazmuk, sobered up: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 = 29

Andreas, DC 10 Con save, -8 penalty: 1d20 + 2 - 8 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 8 = -3

Andreas continues to suffer on the ground.

Stag Lord (-39), Badger (-19), Andreas (-9/12)

You are all up again.

Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, the Stag Lord looks pretty badly wounded, though not as badly as Rillka. If Andreas fails 3 more saves he will die.

Rillka spits out blood, and lifts her arm leveling the wand at Antler Head. Aireratzea. she commands flatly, and casts from the wand.
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Victory or death. Rillka coughs up more blood, But you can't even kill... One... Pathetic... Little... Halfling... Witch! she then begins laughing at Antler Head.
She realizes she and Andreas may not live to see it, but Antler Head will fall to Kazmuk and Rhavi; and it amuses her to know that in the end they will win - and in her heart, she knows Antler Head now knows it too.

Following after the Stag Lord, Rhavi swings her sword at him again

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Kazmuk keeps hammering the bandit lord, praying the Forgefather for this victory.

Attack (warhammer): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

As Rillka and Kazmuk continue to land blows, Rhavi struggles to land a hit.

Looking more exhausted and injured each moment, the Stag Lord steps towards Rillka, trying to keep from being flanked by the two fighting him in melee. The Stag Lord strikes at Kazmuk with a sweeping blow and continues the strike backhandedly at Rillka. Kazmuk deflects the Stag Lords blade, but its momentum carries through, cutting Rillka deeply below her ribs. Rillka sinks slowly to lie prone on top of the wall.[/ooc]Rillka takes 8 damage.[/ooc]

Andreas continues to bleed out on the roof top, rain washing his blood away in the down pour.

Stag Lord (-47), Badger (-19), Andreas (-9/14), Rillka (-7/12)

You are all up. And a minor correction, Andreas at 14 con. Rillka has 12 con.

Technically, only half of us are up…. The other two are bleeding out :)

"RRilka!" He yells, desperate, as he tries to finish the bandit lord.

Attack (warhammer): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Seeing Rilka go down too, Rhavi grips her sword extra hard and steps over Andreas body and attacks again

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Just noticed I had forgotten that I can use two hands with my aldori dueling sword. That is why I got +3 to damage instead of +2. Not that it woould have made a difference, since I haven't hit S***!

Edit: BUT I FINALLY DID!!! WUHUU!

Nice rolls!! Hoping that does it Rhavi!

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

Kazmuk's strike goes wide, the Stag Lord easily side stepping it. Having not paid much attention to Rhavi, a look of surprise erupts on the Stag Lord's face as he feel her blade slide into his side.

The Stag Lord lets out a yell as he twists himself off of Rhavi's blade. He bellows in anger, blood flying from his mouth in rage as he strikes at Rhavi. The first blow goes wide in his rage, but the second connects with Rhavi. Rhavi takes 9 damage.

Stag Lord vs Rhavi, sober, FE: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 16

"It looks like I might not make it out of here, but I am going to take you with me wench!" the Stag Lord screams as his blow lands. At this point the Stag Lords breath is highly laboured, blood is flowing from the wound at his side, and he looks near the limit that a human can take.

Andreas, DC 10 Con, -9 penalty: 1d20 + 2 - 9 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 9 = -1
Rillka, DC 10 Con, -7 penalty: 1d20 + 2 - 7 ⇒ (12) + 2 - 7 = 7

Andreas and Rillka continue to bleed out in the rain.

Stag Lord (-57), Badger (-19), Andreas (-9/14), Rillka (-7/12)

The Stag Lord is running out of gas, but still has some left to give.

Rillka is dreaming. She is back on the road with her auntie Kenza. There is a storm and an rain is falling on her, a lightning flash shocks her to her core causing a thousand stinging needles of pain. She looks and the bolt has solidified into a blade, which just like a lightning flash, then disappears.
She feels herself leaving her body and looks down on it from above. She sees herself lying on the ground, nearby the Tall Folk Andreas lies. Their blood mixing with the falling rain, and the Stag Lord's form a dark cloud. She doesn't feel any desire to either leave or get back in her body, she just kinda hangs there, looking at herself and Andreas; and waiting for the Stag Lord to drift away.
Thank you Rhavi, for the inspiration from your near-death post

Thank you Rhavi, for the inspiration from your near-death post

You are most welcome! :-)

Rhavi grunts as the blade hits her, felling the blood run down her arm.

"As long as the world is rid of you, it will have been worth it!"

She then swings her sword with both hands again

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Crap! and only 1 inspiration left, so can't even add it to my attack :-(

"Ye can still surrrenderr!" Kazmuk gives the Staglord a chance to surrender as he strikes again!

Attack (warhammer): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The dice certainly are against us!

For sure!! when we finally hit, the damage is crap! Rarely both are good. But I'm having fun :-)

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

Coughing and grimacing in pain, the Stag Lord deflects Kazmuk's and Rhavi's attacks. After each deflection he attempts a counter strike, but slips up in his fatigue and injuries.

Rillka's ragged breathing calms a little, something settling into place.

Stag Lord (-57), Badger (-19), Andreas (-11/14), Rillka (-8/12)

I had forgotten to take a hp from Andreas/Rillka last time, so there's a bit of a math discrepancy between the posts.

An inner peace comes with simply waiting for the Stag Lord to drift away. Watching her guardian and friend, Kazmuk, "the Anvil", still unyielding; and her new friend, Rhavi, who stood with them against their common foe, continue to fight. She prays, Gozreh, you blessed this little halfling, let the rains help the Tall Folk Andreas as they have me and aid those who continue after we have fallen. Contented, she simply waits for the Stag Lord to drift away.

Glancing at Andreas and his shallow breath, Rhavi knows his time is running out.

"One more swing...."

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Kazmuk's frustration is taking the best of him...

Attack (warhammer): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

LOL. Come on!

Danm it! and my 16 is probably not going to hit, when your 18 missed last round ;-(

Fighting to keep the Stag Lord at bay and finish him off, Rhavi says to Kazmuk

"Mister Dwarf. I don't think your big friend is in a very good shape. If we don't help him soon, I'm afraid we are going to loose him for good. Can you do anything? I can try and hold this loser off"

I assume talking is allowed as a free action

:: Sarenith 6 - Evening - Assault on the Stag Lord's Fort ::

Kazmuk and Rhavi continue their assault, the rain, fatigue, and the Stag Lord thwarting their attempts to strike. The Stag Lord has a gleam in his eye after blocking your attacks and manages a clean thrust at Kazmuk, but bounces off Rhavi's armour. Kazmuk takes 10 damage.

Stag Lord vs Kazmuk: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10

Andreas DC 10 con: 1d20 + 2 - 11 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 11 = 10

Hearty as ever, Andreas stabilizes amidst the chaos and rain.

Stag Lord (-57), Badger (-19), Andreas (-11/14), Rillka (-8/12)

Let's go team!

Rillka continues to hover, she is saddened to see Kazmuk take a serious blow, but knows in her heart he and Rhavi will be victorious. From the corner of her eye she catches a glimpse of Andreas hovering, proud of his companions, but clearly wishing he was still in the fight. The rains and storm are a blessing of her birth, and the Stag Lord will fall before them.

The darkness continues to swallow the light as the young man watches his companions fight a desperate battle. The shadows creep in from all sides as he loses more and more hope. The directions he urge go unheard, the advice not taken. What did he expect, he failed to protect them all. Little Rillka lies bleeding because of his failure.
As the large man watches on, his body grows less and less corporeal. He raises a hand and can see through it. He knows now that his failure is all be final.
I have failed...and now my compan...my friends will die because of my choice.

From within what little light is left of his vision comes a mist of white. Growing in intensity as it pushes back the darkness. A strong female voice echoes out.
Why do you feel as if you have failed.

Andreas tries to look into the light but it is too bright and he averts his gaze.

I do not regret my actions nor my chosen path. It was the best option I had that time. I felt that if we disarmed him of his weapon we would have a better chance.
The large knight does not know why he speaks so freely to someone or something that he does not know but he feels oddly at peace now. A calm has settled over his heart.

The voice speaks again but is much closer this time.
Then let go. Let go and trust those around you to finish what they started.

Andreas tries yet again to look at the light.
If this is my time then I am ready. I am not filled with the fear of death and will not weep or pray for a little more time to live my life again in a different way. I am ready.

Now the female voice is right by his ear.
That is why you will have a home when that time comes. It most assuredly will but not today.

Andreas turns towards the voice that is in his ear but only sees a bright mist. Then within that mist he sees a vague outline of a valiant sword-mistress in full plate mail, wielding a longsword and a shield. She turns to him with a visage that is gentle yet strong.

Let go of your responsibilities and trust that they can do this. You must trust them.

Andreas slips back down to kneel by his own body and looks at the battle. As he reaches for his own body...his breathing becomes relaxed and steady. His wounds congeal and slows the flow of his life's blood. The color returns to his cheeks. He gives another look towards the battle.
You can do this. Do not worry about me. Deal with the task at hand. I have faith in both of you. Fight on.

As Rhavi has almost decided to step away from the combat to help Andreas, she feels a kind of calm come over her. She glances at Andreas again and without knowing how she knows, she knows that he'll be alright.

If just she could finish off this guy!!

Her sword feels heavy in her grip and she knows she'll soon lie on the floor next to Rillka and Andreas if she doesn't get past the Stag Lords defenses. That last blow was very close, she only got his sword turned away in the last second.

She sees Kazmuk's attack getting turned by the Stag Lord, and sees an opening and tries to press her attack while he is distracted

Now cross those fingers!

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

edit: Finally!!! and even a possible crit with an aldori sword

crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Well, can't get everything! I'm happy with just a hit!

Kazmuk coughs some blood as he is hit once more, his vision becoming hazy. He swings again, but there is no strength in it...

Attack (warhammer): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
