Marra charges in, bringing a wicked strike down at Parns with her Falcata. The attack hits Parns heavily, partially absorbed by the armor, there's a slight sound of cracking, whether it was the armor or bone, you can't tell.

Marrala rushes toward Parns
Marra leaves Pavo and returns to Gaedren's corpse, dragging him to the dock. She looks at Calliope's razor, then fold it up and returns it to her belt. She stares down at the helpless Gaedren, then just pushes him into the water...consciously not mutilating him...she removes her mask and drops it in the water with Gaedren... "Torture is not needed...Justice is done." remembering a line from Acts of Iomedae "No longer lost, I am now reborn..." She turns away from the water before it churns with blood as the Jigsaw takes a chunk out of the sinking Gaedren... She returns to her companions, there is visibly less weight on her shoulders, the hate and anger gone from her face. She seems more at peace now.
Marra grabs Gaedren's leg and drags him out of the room. As she sees Pavo, she lets go and runs over to him, and gently rests her hand on his shoulder... "Sorry your sister is gone..." "Can your family afford a donation to the church for them to return her?"
Marra leaps forward, viciously slashing the war razor across his face... "That's for Sorin you slime," Then she whispers: to him: Spoiler:
next I'll carve off your manhood and feed it to that ole jigsaw out there...
Marra, not hearing Sorin's whisper, spins slamming her shield into the door, as it crashes open, Gaedren lunges at Marra, his dagger flashing toward her chest, the armor and protective magics pushing the blade away... "You'll have to do better than that worm, I'm not a defenseless child anymore!" Marra spits. "May Iomedae intercept your soul before Pharasma sends you to your doom. For today you die, no more harm shall you do." "You wronged Zelarra and each of us...Time to Pay..." Gaedrenn laughs a little at this..."Ah yes, so pretty that one was, beautiful eyes, couldn't part with those, she's in here, with us, play a little hide in seek little Marra? Calliope had pretty eyes too, didn't she..." Mechanics: Marra moved and opened the door (unlocked), since Gaedren was ready to attack.
Marra is torn, Help defend Clandru, or attack Gobbleguts...she decides to attack the Crocodile... "Quickly priest, let's finish this beast before it can do more damage." Marra takes a step toward the gator. Then lunges forward, drawing the razor down the croc's belly, slicing it open as the War Razor neatly separates the thick hide, Marra's strength pulling the razor through the flesh. 1d20+4=22, 1d4+3=6 confirm critical: 1d20+4=17, 1d4+3=7 Critical!!!
Marrala, seeing that Clandru has moved to help Dorran, quickly moves along the walkway toward Pavo, leaping over the corners of the walkway, placing herself next to the door where Gaedren is hiding. Calliope's War Razor in hand, a look of hate, she waits for Gaedren to appear at the door again...
Marra snaps out of her pitiful state, and momentarily forgets Lamm, her thoughts focused on Dorran. "DORRAN!"
Initiative:1d20=9+2-2=9 Marra is visibly shaken, her bravado stolen from her by her tormentor. Tears well up in her eyes, as she steels herself for the confrontation, she slowly hefts her blade, as if the weight of the world lies in that blade, she begins thinking of Calliope, trying to get the nerve to do what must be done. Then marra looks at the falcata, and places it in its scabbard, and draws out Calliope's war razor, slowly opens it... "Calliope, you will be avenged." she mutters.
Actions: Move 1:sheath falcata, Move 2: draw War Razor while not moving.
"Right, in we go!" Marra grabs the door handle and slams her shoulder into the door, forcing the slightly swollen door open.
"Should we just open the door and charge in? Think he would trap this door?" "Also, I can drop some caltrops to prevent Gaedren from escaping through this door."
"Should we just open the door and charge in? Think he would trap this door?"
Marra sighs, "Perhaps your words are true, as I would never have returned had it not been for Lamm's murder of Calliope...I would have run away, far away, finally free of that foul beast."
Marra visibly reddens at Clandru's words."You are a fool priest, yes I do it for myself; to avenge Calliope, and my brothers and sisters, those what suffered under Gaedren's ministrations. Those children above, Sorin and Dorran, we lived a hell you can't begin to imagine. Don't even begin to judge me."
Flashback (Before Marra descended the rope): "That's just what I intend to deliver...just desserts...justice...I believe we have an accord."
grinning grimly "Don't worry priest, I'm sure his soul is going to a gooood place...nice n warm." "I heard Iomedae likes those who bring justice to the world, what good does your god do?"
"The gods are on my side t'day priest, I think I'll not be falling before I get my vengeance..." As she says that, she grabs the grapple and rope hanging from her pack and begins to rig up a safety line...
As Marra leaps over the banister, the groggy children make startled yelps as she lands with a thud and tumbles next to Clandru. "Heya priest, Sorin was sliced open something fierce upstairs...Hookshanks cut his chest with a wicked kurki, he could prolly use some of your tender ministrations when we're done, any sign o' that slime, Gaedren?"
Whispers to Sorin
Spoiler:
"He's all yours Sorin...and there's no nosy priest around, let justice be done..." Marra rushes out of the room, having heard Clandru's call...when she reaches the banister, she leaps over the edge... Acrobatics to take no dmg from a purposeful leap off the banister. 1d20+2=17
OK we have everyone except a DM, I will take over on Thursday, that's when we hit 2 weeks.
Since Malv has seemed to disappear for 11 days now, I'll be taking over the game this weekend is he doesn't return...
I figured as much, games don't last very long after a DM disappears, luckily this game is from an AP so it's pretty easy to pick up....and I personally think it's a great group we put together, lots of personality here, would hate to see this one dissolve. This has got to be one of my favorite characters of all time...so I WON't Let this game completely die... BTW, do we still have everyone watching the thread? Haven't seen Pavo post in a week or so...when it hits 2 weeks no DM, I'll take over. So let me get a head count.
I'll spend a Harrow point to bring the DM back. If he doesn't come back in the next week I might be able to pick it up, Since the High Level Play-Test that I was DMing just finished...
Well all Pavo will be able to do is move to the door, and open it... So where's Malv?
As I didn't notice the updated map, I'm going to have to amend my action... keep the same rolls. "Sorin!, you'll not fall this day...Hookshanks..die!" with that she attacks Hookshanks, bringing the heavy blade down upon Hookshanks.
Marra will charge the wand holder. Leveling her blade at his neck. "Your time has come, prepare to meet the maker..." "Sorin, give better than you receive, I'll leave ole' Hookshanks to you and Dorran" Rolls
Spoiler:
Marra will 5' step into the doorway of the room, and swinging her Falcata about her in a Dazzling Display..."You should have killed me instead of Calliope" 1d20+3=23 with pure hatred showing on her broken face..."Now you will pay the price, and Gaedren Lamm will fall this day!" The words spat out with pure disgust...
Looks back at Dorran and nods, though she reflexively pulls away from his touch, and looks ashamed for a mere second, before returning to the full ready.
"Got your back Sorin" Marra whispers... I'll stay 20 feet back from Sorin, ready to charge past him.
Marra, not one to be intimidated after all she's been through returns Dorran's stare with a steely gaze of her own.
IN a Loud Whisper..."Dorran what in Calistria's name are you doing, we're at war!, Be Ready!!"
Marra slides against the wall as the half-orc falls, letting his corpse slide down the stairs, then she kicks him over the edge.
"Quiet those kids up..." Then Marra slides up to the door, ready for any additional combatants coming through...she'll peer through if it's still open.
Since that was my round 1 action, he'd have to shoot him...please, before he can attack me ;) Half-Orcs tend to hurt.
Marra was not encumbered, as I stated she left some stuff in her room, therefor she should be able to reach the Half-orc on that charge. On the first page... Spoiler: ...she hasn't retrieved those items, yet...
"I should have known better, stupid mutt" The dog causes Marra pause, she knows this mutt, she remembers it as a pup...and now it lays between her and Gaedren...two years, and it's near-sighted in its old age...won't recognize me, I'm sure...
Marra draws her blade and charges the animal (or adult opponent if the dog is already dead). 1d20+5=15+2 charge=17 DMG=1d8+3=11 "No quarter asked, none given!"
"Agreed" "Examine the door, be prepared to fight as soon as that door opens. Try to not injure the children..."
I play it that if the party has readied actions, such and the ranger having his bow drawn, then they get those readied actions prior to the initiative. We had already encountered one spider, and at least I was expecting more...
Marra cleans the ichor off of her blade, "Too bad we couldn't have thrown Gaedren down here"
She'll chill out once Gaedren is dead...right now, the LN is based on justice...and in her eyes there's only one way to instill justice. She is Judge jury and executioner as far as he's concerned...as per the alignment interpretation in the PFRPG...not strictly "LAW" as an edict...it can be a personal code as well...
I don't usually check discussion threads since running or playing in 9 PbP. So I'll head over there...
"Why are we going in the Barge?" Marra whispers in a hissing raspy voice... "Lamm is in the Fishery not the barge!"
Marra remains on the alert for additional vermin...
On Marra's turn, she'll pull her sling, and load it, then if the spider is still alive, sling it...if not, she'll be ready to sling another if it appears...
