The Stag Lord, Bandit King's page

Serena cleans her weapon on the Stag Lord's shirt.

He doesn't actually have one on, though the skin of his beefy chest is burned to the point it might seem like he was wearing a thick, poorly-tanned hide. I'll post the lucre when I get home tonight.

"IT'S TIME TO TAKE YOUR MEDICINE!"

Alia runs her long blade through the Stag Lord and out again. He stands for moment more before toppling over. "Monsters... All monsters...."

The Stag Lord rises and draws his sword.

AoO anyone?

The Stag Lord's bow goes KRACK!

"BWAHAHAHAHA!" The Stag Lord grips his stomach as he laughs. Tears stream down his face causing his face paint to run.

Durgan misses the man's bow with his axe.

Because the Stag Lord is not actually helpless Alia can't get around him with that acrobatics check which ends her movement in the nearest legal space (which I gather is next to Serena).

Alia thwacks the door frame with her long blade.

And I forgot to roll Staggy's second Will save last round: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 But it doesn't matter.

The Stag Lord roars with laughter at people's attempts to kill him.

"HAW-HAW-HAW! ...Beaky. HAW-HAW-HAW! " laughs the Stag Lord.

Quick heads up, Staggy has some cover because of the wall he rolled behind.

"HAW-HAW-HAW!" The Stag Lord rolls with laughter and then casts his eyes to the west. He pauses for a moment tears in his eyes and says in a surprised, bemused tone "Beaky?"

}}KA-BOOOOOM!!!{{

Then a huge explosion rips thought the partial upper story of the ruins! Stone, lumber, nails, and other debris fly all over. The entire hillside the keep is on shakes.

Victoria reflex save DC 15 or fall from the rickety walkway to the ground (20').

"HAW-HAW-HAW!"

This round.

I think Durgan blocked the direct approach even if he is not on the lower map? Unless he floats? Or will Serena displace Staggy upon waking? Or do they squeeze?
Cursing the stones and rubble blocking her movement, Alia finds herself just unable to reach the stag lord. Realizing she is presenting a target despite her mirror images, she prepares to duck if any arrows(or other attacks) come her way.

Move action to just outside reach, Standard for total defense: +4 AC, 3 Images

grenade-like villain miss: 1d8 ⇒ 1 The Stag Lord rolls off Serena laughing and into the next room.

More tonight!

Stag Lord will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

**Snort!** "HAW-HAW-HAW!" The big bandit chieftain falls to the ground (well, Serena) rolling with laughter.

Illthir swipes at the rising bandit with her silvered warhammer. And she'll continue to swipe at him while the spirits swirled around both of them; healing her and harming him.

You will have to remind me of the method and of how much.

A pair of arrows flash from the Stag Lord's bow. The first one catching Illthir's upper arm and pushing out the other side.

Stag Lord comp. longbow v Illthir (point blank, deadly aim, favored enemy): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 19 damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14 hit

Stag Lord comp. longbow v Illthir (point blank, deadly aim, favored enemy): 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10 miss

"I'll have your throat next." he says. His voice a harsh growl. It is as if whatever burned all the exposed flesh on his chest scalded his vocal chords as well.

"Another halfling wench! I'll give you something to sing about!"

Stag Lord comp. longbow v Illthir (point blank, deadly aim, favored enemy): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8 hit!

At first the Stag Lord staggers back in shock and surprise at the woman's sudden appearance, he recovers though, lifts his bow and fires with a sneer.

Stag Lord comp. longbow v Serena (point blank, deadly aim, favored enemy): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 = 30 damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15 hit!

Serena staggers as the shaft buries itself in her chest above her heart. everything goes quiet and then choral music begins to fill her ears. Herr balance seems off, Serena though fights on!

Stag Lord comp. longbow v Serena (point blank, deadly aim, favored enemy): 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22 damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11 hit

That's when the second arrow hits and she collapses to the stony ground.

"I do not have to prove anything to anyone anymore. I am 'monster' and that for me is enough." are the last whispered words Serena hears before blacking out.

The Stag Lord looks at Arris the fox. It sets off angry memories of druids.... He growls low in his chest and fires his greatbow. There's a loud yip, followed by a cruel laugh.

Stag Lord comp. longbow v Arris (point blank, deadly aim): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 hit

The Stag Lord moves back deeper into his fort. The hunt is on.

Drunkenly, the Stag Lord fires a couple of shots at Scarlet. "She looks as though she's too much woman for you Akiros. Lemme- lemme cut 'er down to size."

Stag Lord comp. longbow v Scarlet (point blank, deadly aim): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Stag Lord comp. longbow v Scarlet (point blank, deadly aim): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

"IT MUST BE MAGIC! How else could she *hic* dodge my arrows! SAL! WHERE'S THAT DAMN ELF!"

"SHUT UP!" Ayles flinches at the rebuke as if struck.

"AND STOP THAT BLOODY SINGING!" bellows the horned man sounding drunk. "OR I'LL KILL THIS RED RABBIT EVEN IF SHE DOES SURRENDER AND COOK 'ER UP WITH THIS LITTLE FOX 'ERE! ALL IT'S DOIN' IS INSPIRIN' MY HEAD TA ACHE!"

The suddenly darkness moves away from Serena. A bullseye lantern beam trains upon her and an bowstring twangs from somewhere below.

composite longbow v Serena (point blank, deadly aim, favored enemy, sneak attack): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 6 + 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (1, 5, 4) + 2 = 24

Serene feels something pass through the soft flesh of her waist. A shaft with black crows' feather sticks out of her side. Below she can see a huge bare-chested man with a great helm fashioned from a stag's skull. The skin on the man's muscled chest and arms look burned as if by some old fire. To his right stands a hooded man with a lantern shining up at Serena and to his left is a large man with pale hair, a smattering of beard and a scar scoring one cheek and brow.
