Tisha pulls her rapier and tries to club the kid before her with the hilt.
As Tish gets hit with the caustic fluid she looks back at the door.
You may want to Fall back. I’m not staying here to be hit by some mad Chemist.
You crazy wizard! Grab the kid so we can drag them out and heal them!
You crazy wizard! Grab the kid so we can drag them out and heal them!
You are madder then a hatter to think I would dive into that mob of spoon eared whelps to save one that is trying to stab us!
Narciso avoids the stubby arms grabbing for his crossbow and replies to Ernhild and Briggi "I've been one of the rat pack, those blades are more than sharp enough to cut throats, and they won't hesitate for a second on ours!"
Tish is still in front of the kid that has some luck now and then with the blade, but not this time.
Briggi sap slaps another urchin
Narciso steps farther up the stairs, hoping to at least minimize the number of people inside the splash radius of the acid, and then chants at the acid thrower, trying to temporarily overwhelm his will...
Trisha tries one more time to save the kids before things get bloody.
The door behind me is open, drop your weapon and run through it and you will be granted safe passage to freedom. Anyone still holding a weapon will be treated like that. she points to the child with the bolt sticking through them and bleeding out.
Then she deliberately steps forward giving the kids a clear path to the door.
Tisha takes the attack of opportunity.
The burning acid spurs Briggi on and he takes another kid down. The blonde man is not affected by Narciso's spell.
The kids thankfully take the opportunity to surround tish and get better access to the others. If there are kids that are not fond of fighting and would rather not face the intruders, they are at the back already and blocked from leaving.

The increasingly desperate situation, and the kids' eagerness to have a stab at Tisha instead of fleeing, finally overcome Ernhild's reluctance to fight the underage opponents, and she quickly decides there'll always be time to heal them up afterwards.
She hits the closest kid in the chest with the hilt of her warhammer -holding herself back not to break a rib.
Ernhild manages to miss the kid which is not that clumsy.
The blonde man takes another flask out of his pocket and throws it at Tish. But he misses, throws too far and splashes Tish, Briggi and some kids.
Narciso tries to overwhelm the man's will again...
The blonde man looks dazed.
Tisha punches with the pommel of her rapier at the back of the head of the kid who is focused at avoiding Ernhild’s warhammer.
If she drops him she 5’ steps back where he fell.
We’ll hold back the suicidal whelps! Someone put down the damn bomber!
Tish hits the kid and it finally drops.
Briggi steps up and tries to sap the kid in front of him
Briggi knocks the next kid out. The door at the top of the stairs where Narciso stands opens, but you see no one standing in the open door.
Two kids stab at Briggi.
Ernhild misses the dodgy kid. The blonde man is busy sorting his thoughts.
Narciso takes a snap shot at the acid thrower with his crossbow, and then darts back down the stairs and out the door, so he can use the wall for cover while peeking back in (and he fervently hopes there is no one sneaking up behind us...)
+2 dex
Seeing the door open and Narciso retreat, Tisha reacts tactically.
We are about to be flanked. I’m done being nice to those who want to kill me.
Tisha just straight up stabs at the kid next to her.
Then she steps back to hold the line of retreat against whatever is about to come charging through the open door.
Shine the light away from the door! Spoon ears can’t see with no light!
Briggi belts the kid right to his east
After a really bad performance of the group the kids keep stabbing, this time at Briggi.
The blonde pulls out a thin stick and waves it at Briggi and as nothing happens he starts cursing. Meanwhile a green skinnned guy with ugly teeth (read half orc) appears in the door and comes down the stairs. With a grin that lies somewhere between stupid and malicious he greets the intuders. "Hi!" He holds a flail as "complaint handling"-tool.
Narciso peeks back into the doorframe and unleashes a cone of blinding colors up the stairs at the new arrival... then he ducks back around the doorframe and reloads his crossbow.
The half orc shakes off the irritating sparkling.
Tish follows the burst of lights by stepping up and trying to stab at half orc with her Rapier.

Briggi saps the kid to the north
Tish is somewhat out of the flow and Briggi also doesn't manage to have any impact. The half orc is an enemy more to Ernhilds liking, but he also is not in his pyjamas, but wearing a chain mail. Which prevents her attack from wounding the green guy.
The kids keep stabbing fruitlessly at the intruders, but the real fight is now between the adults.
The blonde guy waves his stick again at Briggi. This time it results in a tiny orb of acid flying in the general direction of the dwarf.
The half orc doesn't seem to be too fond of dwarves, as he decides to smack Ernhild with the spikey ball of his flail.
Trisha tries to stab again.
Briggi smacks the nearest kid
Narciso steps back into the doorway and attempts to befuddle the half-orc's mind...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The half orc is magically dazed and Ernhild wounds the man. Briggi knocks out another kid, while Tish still struggles to find a proper standing in this fight.
Being unsatisfied with the result of using the magic stick, the blonde pulls another vial of acid from his pocket and throws it at Briggi.
But it lands in front of Ernhild splashing all three plus the orc.
Narciso finds himself surprised by a very stealthy gnome who sneaks up on him via the roof and jumps down in front of him with a very interesting knife in hand. But after the masterfully executed approach it ends in a clumsy fall to his ass. Which prevents an immediate attack, but the gnome quickly gets back up.
All while the kids halfheartedly keep stabbing at Briggi awaiting their turn to be knocked out.
With the half orc in front of her dazed, Tisha tries a big risk and tries to tumble around the dazed half orc and get behind him.
No mater if she succeeds or fails Tisha stabs at the dazed half orc.
.
Narciso steps back from the gnome and uses the door jamb to protect himself as he attempts to overwhelm the gnome's mind...
You kids want to drop the knives and go back to bed, or do I have to slap you more?
"You kids better keep stabbing those a!*$&+@s, or you are next." the gnome shouts back.

But after the masterfully executed approach it ends in a clumsy fall to his ass. Which prevents an immediate attack, but the gnome quickly gets back up.
Out of the corner of her eye, Ernhild sees the gnome landing (poorly) next to Narciso.
"Help the mage out," she tells Tisha. "I'll deal with this one."
Briggi smacks the kid to his east
Tish doesn't manage to get past the orc, but tabs him properly. But it seems her dancing around throws off Ernhild who beats the stairs. Briggi bruises another kid, but not good enough.
The gnome is dazed by magic.
The half orc finds back into the fight and attacks Tish.
The blonde man starts cursing again as the waving of his stick brings no effect.
Briggi just endures the vain attempts of the kids against his armor and shield.
Narciso steps back and shoots his crossbow at the blond man. Then he reloads...
+2 dex
Ouch. That hurts you bastard!
Tisha tries to reply with her Rapier and make him pay for her cracked ribs.
Then she steps back to keep whatever the sorcerer is running from from getting to him.
