Orhtrik was uninterested in the prospect of alliances, but he made sure to keep track of any being formed within hearing distance - one could never be too careful. As everybody begins to make the mad dash, Orthrik follows after, keeping his eyes open for stragglers.
Noting that Salu seems to be adopting a similar strategy, Orthrik makes the move to attack his prey, his spiked fist readied.

Menas, paying careful attention to the loners moving around the area tightens his grip on his shield and grits his teeth with a quiet popping noise. "Be aware, someone is about to die." he whispers through pursed lips.
Watching how others were leaving, some running, some walking and some carefully moving forward like expecting an attack. Varos smiled but did not rush. He started slowly to walk towards arena until he saw a monk walking toward him. Not yet knowing his true identity and what was his aim, Varos was careful and prepared for worst. He also waited for Morgthar since getting trough this would require more help and people than he could be able to achieve himself
In goblin, when Kwin and Gaza are close...
Watching how easily Cirnos handles the lance, Kazmuk thinks quickly. "I might be willin' ta work with ye providin' ye prove yerselves useful ta me. But if ye really think us three takin' on that entire lot-" he nods to the the other 15 prisoners "be a good idea, then I'm thinkin' yer not too useful. If ye want to work together, let's just get on with these blasted trials. Assumin' we all survive, we can fight alongside each other in that final battle the Baron were raving about so madly."
Salu's head swims - trying to keep track, and get a sense of the other combatants is overwhelming... 'Reading an enemy of two I can do .. for now just survive ..'
As you all look around, you see groups of prisoners clumping across the field:
Justified, Menas, Quain, Emilian
Cirnos, Hollander, Kazmuk
Gaza, Kwin, Bug

Quickly scanning potential enemies, Haterivet stopped in front of Varos, ans said in a raspy, broken voice: May the Midnight Lord grant you an Eternal kiss. I know not how or why we are here, but it is obvious that my Lord watches over me. I may have failed in my task once, but I swear I will not do it again. Let me guard you and lead you to our Lord's embrace"
With that said, and without even waiting for a response, Haterivet turns his back to the priest, bows his head slightly and whispers Command
"That's the beauty of it see. They can't hit us once we step on these stones. So, spend a little effort, and if it gets hairy we step back. I don't plan on being best friends with you folks, but I do plan on living! Rather not give anyone a chance to stab me before the end, ya know?"
Varos looks at the monk and burst to laugh. Slowly fading away and stern look appearing to his face May the Midnight Lord grant you an Eternal kiss. Your help is truly welcome here. I have to admit that I am not able to survive this place alone but if that is will of our Lord, so shall be it. Nevertheless, I will not give up so easily. I accept the your pledge in the name the Dark One and the darkness shall swallow you if betray that promise he finishes and touches monks head.
A darkness swells and surrounds the monk for a while until dispersing off
Looking around and then speaking fast to monk I would say we move out of here fast to the grounds since who knows what happens if we are the last ones or something is going to happen here. There is still 1 more who serves Midnight Lord but he has not appeared out of his cell yet... Let us move towards the arena but keep an eye for him. stating with cold voice We shall assist him if he comes but we can not sacrifice ourself. We have greater deeds in front of us
Hollander steps off the stone swirling a rock casually in his sling, while watching those who approach.
Nodding at Hollander, "See he's got the idea! We'll get it started, stand with us till it gets hairy and we'll dodge out. Can't let a good opportunity pass us by!"
Stepping off the stone, Cirnos moves to step in front of Hollander and starts to spin his lance over his head. Calling back over his shoulder "Whenever you're ready Stormborn!"
Eyeing Hollander's sling, Kazmuk says, "Hope yer a good shot with that. Should be having some targets soon 'nough."
Kazmuk steps off the stone onto the dirt, his battleaxe in hand.
It is fitting that the difference between the path beneath one's feat should determine their fate.
Noticing the forming groups and that he is not part of any of them, Kor begins to sprint in the direction of the stone tile while giving any groups as wide a bearth as possible.
Following the lead of the half-orc making his way towards the tiled ground, Catelyn shifts away from the battle space, edging around towards the complex at running speed.
Varos looks far ahead, seeing the light in the arena and people preparing for combat. Looking around for others and to the monk We need to haste our process out of here. Blood will be spilled soon and it is better that we do not exhaust ourself yet. Trusting that the monk will follow him and turning, Varos takes couple steps and burst to run towards arena, trying to circle others as much as possible, to avoid being attacked
Salu draws his scimitar, and steps toward Orthik. He attempts prod the orc off balance with his scabbard before slashing with all his might. His face grows dark as the swing goes wide.
As Team Sprinter steps back onto the dirt and Cirnos yells back, "Whenever you're ready Stormborn!", you know something is afoot!
Emilian is torn between helping Menas who just vouched for his character, ad not wanting to get caught between several warring groups. He glances at Quain to see what he plans to do.
Menas focuses the rage of his incarceration on Orthrik and charges his back, using Salu's distraction to maximum advantage. Swinging his shield two handed he...
"Did you see the way Salu saw Othrik as an easy mark and just stepped up and attacked him? Seems he is the real evil."
Orthrik dodges Salu's slash, before thrusting his fist towards his gut. Hit or miss, he would follow up with a lunge, hoping to sink his fangs into the warrior's flesh.
Cestus Attack:
Cestus Damage:
Bite Attack:
Bite Damage:
Distracted by his foe however, he is dealt a critical blow from Menas.
Orthrik's bite rips part of Salu's neck and the human warrior falls to the dirt, bleeding (not dead, yet). Then Menas' shield slams into the half-orc, cracking a few ribs. The crowd above goes wild with both hits as they see blood!
Round 2:
Catelyn watches intently as the violence unfolds, but keeps her distance, spear at the ready.
Bug snarls and runs forward to the tiled area.
Kwin shouts
Unless he is attacked before his initiative, Kwin will double move to D-9.
Kor will move as quickly as he can towards safety. He will run (120 ft) to square E, -25
Gaza will move to C,-4 then move to C,-10 as a dbl move and remaining defensive.
Round 2:
|
Justified moves up next to Kazmuk and into F, -9. He looks ready. As he moves he speaks in a loud whisper to the dwarf such that the others close by can hear. Always liked Druids. Some of my best friends are Druids. I have not decided about you though. I have friends right out there. He gestures to the PCs still on the earth. Shame if something were to happen to them.
