Ever or recently? Also I dont think that really counts quite yet.
With the two 'stallers' at most, dispatched, Father Burdock ignores the stored chests and the rest of the outhouse to give chase.
Thorn nods and gives chase.
Elsa follows and says C'mon Grint, don't be so lazy no time to dawdle!
Through the tiny bit of space, you see a wooden wall and a stronger smell of hay. Some commotion has started, as some frantic voices are quickly exchanged.
#1: "The group from the hamlet has surfaced from the underground."
#2, a strong voice: "Get into positions then, a barn like this should easily be properly defended. By the way, have some heavy sentries near the prisoners."
#1: "What about that family? Are we holding them for ransom?"
#2: "No, he has need of them to complete some business of sorts. No questions asked."
A bone chilling scream from a man comes from somewhere above, an attic or second floor maybe?
#3: "It's probably not pretty, whatever he's doing."
"On it. On it, Elsa. I just need a clear view to get the runner. Hopefully I'll get one."
Grint hurries after the others, bow in hand ready to nock more arrows onto it if needed.
"Brace the door with anything if you can I'm going to get ready"
Sivar casts iron skin (+4) then shield of faith (+2) and if he has time he takes armour off the bad guys and puts it on.
They did, however, both carry a dagger, which is better than the improved weapon.
You hear footsteps coming closer, as you cast iron skin.
A rugged face looks through the space.
"Hey, the boxes are open!"
Roll for an init.
The quartet arrives at the barn. It is a large structure, 60ft x 90ft and about 30ft high at it's peak, well the people in the hamlet did say harvest would usually be stored in the high season.
Two heavy doors are in front, slightly ajar.
A low growling comes from within.
"Something's growling from inside, I bet it's that dog handler and his last pooch. Let's be ready for it when it happens. Father Burdock? Can you open the door for us, I'll keep an arrow ready for it."
So Sivar has his armour a dagger and Iron Skin.. AC 21 .. woot!
Who knows...you might need it.
;)
Elsa uses her wand to cast True Strike
That's why I have this nice stabby stabby
Burdock casts Bull's Strength on Thorn and Magic Weapon on Grint's bow . Finally, he casts Lead Blades on himself and regains Magic Weapon again via his Pearl of Power.
When the others are ready, Burdock flings open the door and backs away to give Grint a clear shot.
Father Burdock flings open the doors, inviting a volley of arrows at himself and Thorn.
1 arrow manages to hit Thorn for a nasty one.
"Turn 'em into pin cushions!!"
No dog is in sight, but what you do see is a platform on a wall in front of you, 15 ft up, an archer in kneeling position. Several barrels and columns, in the far back a scaffolding with barrels. 4 Bandits are within sight.
From somewhere above, a bone chilling scream from a man is heard.
Grint
Bandits
Father Burdock, Thorn, Elsa
In the distance, you hear yelling; "Turn 'em into pincushions!"
The door is slammed open,
, you dodge it hitting you.
Two rugged looking men, equipped with sickles and shields, stand in your sight.
-------------------
You
Sentries
Grint fires two arrows in rapid succession at the archer on the platform.
"Go along, I've got that guy on the platform!" Grint says as he takes aim.
Grint shoots twice at the man on the platform, but none hits.
---------
Bandits
From the scaffolding in the back, two more emerge from behind the barrels.
Arrows fly, some hitting their mark, as Father Burdock takes 2 arrows and Grint takes an arrow from teal, whom he tried to hit.
---------
Father Burdock, Thorn, Elsa
Burdock casts a spell, bringing a floating hammer in front of the archers!
Burdock then moves in, weathering the fray.
Elsa moves into the room and hurls a Snowball at Red and DC 17 Fort or be staggered.
Thorn calls on the power of his god, feeling the warmth of blessing from Father Burdock and the weight of the task he must complete. Shields of divine force covering him as his wounds began to heal was he moved in tandem with Burdock.
The spiritual weapon only just misses the archer.
Elsa takes out red.
Thorn casts SoF.
-------------------------------
Grint
-----
Bandits
-----
Elsa, Father Burdock, Thorn
Grint takes aim at teal again.
Grint's first arrow misses, but the second hits hard.
The man's staggered.
-----
Bandits
Blue takes a 5ft step back, seeing as the archer is a big threat, he takes a shot at Grint.
, hitting for 4 dmg.
Green: , miss.
Purple:
Teal retreats at half speed, disappearing from sight.
Black moves to the side of the scaffolding for a better shot at the dangerous caster.
-----
Elsa, Father Burdock, Thorn
Sivar steps forward and attacks hoping to catch them in the doorway give em no room to move
A rising roar came from the normally subdued man as he rushed the Man who launched an arrow at him leaping into a diving axe strike. Trying to cause interference from Elsa.
Elsa uses her wand to cast True Strike once more...and then she finds some cover. hiding behind two chests.
Thorn storms at- and cuts down Green.
Meanwhile, Elsa casts True Strike, seeking cover behind a flipped table.
*Grrrr*
Father Burdock
The man dodges your punch.
[/b
[b]Your turn]
Grint moves up to cover Elsa, then fires a single shot back at blue as payback.
"Catch this!"
Burdock heals the injured Grint before moving to follow Thorn.
Meanwhile, the spiritual hammer attacks its target thug.
Father Burdock heals Grint for some dmg, while the spiritual weapon misses the bandit.
--------------------
Grint takes a well aimed shot, and blue falls from the scaffolding down to the ground.
*Thud*
------------------
Bandits...& dog
The man then backs away from his position, descending the scaffolding and making further into the barn.
The archer puts a solid hit into Thorn's shoulder for 13 dmg, before moving away himself.
Teal ??
The dog angrily follows Thorn, trying to bite the inquisitor,
, but its bite comes short and misses.
--------------------
Elsa, Father Burdock, Thorn
You find a weak spot in the man's defenses and jab your dagger for a firm 7.
Your turn]
Thorn takes the shot a small grunt elicits from his throat. As he thinks to pursue the aggressor an animal comes to take the abuse for him.
Together with the wounds the dog had received earlier, Thorn ends the canine factor.
Elsa & Father Burdock
Burdock puts himself in front of Thorn to shield the axe-wielder with his dwarven steel as he calls the hammer to continue to attack.
"OW!"
Grint rushes forward, until he finds another target, he aims a single shot at black.
You posted a spoiler for Thorn not me... sleepy sleepy
Elsa moves and takes cover behind a keg of beer.
The sound of more fighting comes from the distance.
With Elsa taking cover behind a pole from the scaffolding , the round comes to a close.
------------------
Grint rushes forward to shoot the fleeing bandit in the back, but misses as the man ducks.
--------
Bandits:
Black makes a run for it, drawing something from his pocket as he goes.
Pink does as well.
Teal
The man's screaming had returned briefly, before it suddenly stops, after which only the hysterical cries of a woman are heard.
Again your aim is pretty good.
He returns the favor with a small wound, before stepping back for his partner to join in.
Your turn again
"Aaaah you bastard.. seems it's time to remove you as a problem, may the gods remember your fate"
Grint looks for Elsa, trying to see if there are more thugs behind them.
"Everyone ok? Shall we pursue them?"
Burdock heals himself with a wand so he isn't quite as injured as he continues to follow the thugs.
"Let's finish this!"
The man slashes you in the shoulder.
Your turn
To the others:
"Hey creepy guy, you've got guests incoming."
"दार व वेडेपणा प्रभु, तुझ्या नावाने मी हे यज्ञ च्या रक्ताचे अर्पण केले.
आपल्या आगमन घाई केली जाऊ शकते."
Lord of the gate and madness, in thy name i offer this sacrifice's blood.
May your arrival be hastened.
The loud creepy words are followed by the frantic screams of what sounds like 2 women and a child.
"No time to waste!", Burdock hustling towards the screaming.
The group following the screams, they can now properly hear the sound of combat from the south as well.
Father Burdock being the 1st to rush north towards the screaming, he sees a wooden spiral staircase and the three remaining bandits.
Pink throws a vial, while the two others move up the stairs to the attic/loft.
Good guys
Grint follow quickly after Burdock and fires a single shot at Pink.
