You feel the hairs on the back of your neck raise as you look around and see there is another one poking at the windows to your tower. you hurry up the stairs
I sheath my blade and drink a Enlarge Potion.
If I can I redraw my blade.
@Gorik you would curse if you weren't trying to be quiet. the glass is a pain to avoid but you find path. from here you still don't see the other person.
Suddenly for the first time, Talon speaks with some fear in his telepathic voice, This god and his herald are unknown to me, certainly not hailing from the hells. This is unknown, be wary, slave.
Varrel smiles.
[b]I'd take this over trafficking with you again any day devil. If the prize is sufficient to assault Thrune, it's worth it[b]
He touches the symbol....
Contemplating the rune, and the vanishing of the other competitors, Urdavan pauses as he approaches it. After a few moments, he looks up to the Herald and calls "If the purpose of this is simply to blow up anyone who can oppose you, it appears you have succeeded. If the purpose is to make this an interesting challenge, you have succeeded at that as well. Let us see what you have for us!"
And with that, he suddenly crouches, leaps into the air, and comes down feet-first on the rune like a falling stone.
The room is full of pillars and a few trees. The floor has piles of glass that look slippery and 30 foot ceilings.
@Meredith roll perception.
Meredith flies out of the archway and sees the gate the Herald spoke of but from where you are you don't see an opponent yet. There is an arch way to the side of you beyond some pillars and trees.
Stepping carefully through the glass, Gorik mutters a few words to himself and gestures with his free hand, calling upon divine grace, as he continues to move forward.
I make sure my sword and shield are ready and continue to listen for any sign of the other person.
Varrel and Urdavan have the feeling of falling incredibly fast through the light. wind rushing around you but it is quiet. As if the sound is very far off, like you are racing ahead of it.
Then suddenly there is a floor and you land on it hard enough to stumble. Urdavan tumbles across perfectly rolling into a fighting stance. Both of you are in separate 20' circular rooms. looking around you see that you are in towers, some shattered but all with shattered windows and crumpled looking lattice ceilings. The windows are covered in a silver looking latticework. Beyond the window you see fires and smoke across the land. The tower is part of what looks like a massive fortress raising into the clouds.
below you see massive tentacles raising along the side of the towers.
There is but a single archway leading to wide set of stairs. the stairs are covered in shards of broken glass from the ceiling and windows.
I make sure my sword and shield are ready and continue to listen for any sign of the other person.
1d20+11
You feel the hairs on the back of your neck raise as you look around and see there is another one poking at the windows to your tower. you hurry up the stairs
Nicoslaus just can not wait to start the competition. He smiles and hurry up to meet this challenger whowever he/she/it may be.
Shouldn't Gorik be at S11?
As Meredith floats at the entrance to the room she can hear the armored foot fall of some one at the other arch way.
Nico can faintly hear the sound of water sloshing around in something. It is a sound you have never heard before but it is definitely something moving.
Urdavan tumbles across perfectly rolling into a fighting stance.
Urdavan takes a look around, and then, ignoring the archway for the moment, he walks over to the windows and pulls on the latticework to see whether it will come out.
Initiative:
Meredith delays, waiting to see what the knight will do. (Probably worth noting that I'm floating 15 feet in the air.)
@gorik, we are waiting on Ezra to act but she can't see you or hear you.
TURN @ezra, what do you do?
------------------------
TURN @Meredith: roll init
@Azaelas: roll init
------------------------
@ Urdavon. No it seems to very strong despite it's delicate appearance.
TURN @Nico you are alone in a small tower room there is no one to prepare to fight. their are stairs leading out of the room.
hope this clears it up a bit. TURN mean it is their current turn.
I already took My turn. Ezra and Azaelas are the same person.
Ready for some action, Gorik focuses for just a short second, as cloudy wings unfurl from his back. With that, he leaps into the air, getting a look around.
So, it begins... - whispering.
I take a scroll and read it.
Hearing someone chanting, as if from a scroll, Meredith casts shield as a precaution and moves behind a nearby pillar for cover, where she floats 15 feet off the ground.
I delay my next turn.
@gorik, you see a armored figure run from the pillars to behind a tree. {ooc}refresh map[/ooc] You take off into air. The ceiling is only 30 feet high so you skim along just below it.
TURN@ezra, what do you do?
------------------------
@Meredith: ready
TURN@Nico:
------------------------
@ Urdavon. No it seems to very strong despite it's delicate appearance.
TURN Varrel: what do you do.
I read another scroll
It is Gorik's turn.
Meredith delays again, keeping an eye out for movement from behind the pillar, waiting for the mysterious chanter to show himself.
@ Urdavon. No it seems to very strong despite it's delicate appearance.
Well built screen. Just as well - that tentacle looks unpleasant.
Urdavan pulls out two potions and proceeds to quaff them. One tastes like splinters, and the other tastes like old leather. He makes a disgusted face and spits. "Ugh. I hate those things."
@gorik, you see a armored figure run from the pillars to behind a tree. {ooc}refresh map[/ooc] You take off into air. The ceiling is only 30 feet high so you skim along just below it.
@ezra, You stand ready
------------------------
@Meredith: flys over to pillar.
TURN@Nico: still has not seen anyone.
------------------------
@ Urdavon.
TURN Varrel: what do you do.
End of turn
TURN@gorik, As you fly near the ceiling you can just see the armored woman near the tree. {ooc}she has partial cover. +4ac, unless you want to fly to the other spot and use that roll.[/ooc]
@ezra, You can't tell where it went
------------------------
TURN@Meredith: waits ready for what ever comes
@Nico: What is second scroll he is reading
------------------------
@ Urdavon. you just gave up on bar.
TURN Varrel: what do you do.
TURN@gorik, As you fly near the ceiling you can just see the armored woman near the tree. {ooc}she has partial cover. +4ac, unless you want to fly to the other spot and use that roll.[/ooc]
TURN(16)@ezra, suddenly near the ceiling you see a flying orc with a bow. But it is to late to dodge the arrow hits you.
------------------------
TURN@Meredith: waits ready for what ever comes
@Nico: What is second scroll he is reading
------------------------
@ Urdavon.
TURN Varrel: what do you do. waiting to see what you do
Having heard noises, but still not seeing anything, Meredith flies higher (30 feet now, still using pillar as cover) and casts see invisibility as a precaution, looking about for the source of the noise.
Perception:
------------------------
TURN@Meredith: waits ready for what ever comes
@Nico: Finishes reading second scroll then went very quiet.
------------------------
@ Urdavon.
TURN Varrel: what do you do. waiting to see what you do
there is water running across floor from the gate that leads to flight of stairs leading out. THe water runs across the floor into a large pool. The water looks stagnent and dirty.
