"I am beginning to have an unpleasant feeling about all of this," Triska mutters. "It's too quiet. Perhaps we should scout this warehouse before joining Fir on the bridge." Triska warily heads towards the stairs to the warehouse next to the well.
|
Orelan and Sabriel hang by the well for a few moments while Triska heads to the guest quarters and takes a look around the building. She sees obvious signs of battle but again only blood splatter and foot prints. Larkspring and Fir now out of sight of the rest of the group begin to walk onto the bridge but come under imediate fire from somewhere on the bridge.....
Listen Check. (1d20+2=11)
Initiative. (1d20+2=5)
Seeing Triska suddenly draw her weapons, Sabriel tries to hear what could be happening.
She turns towards the gate, racing over to Triska and drawing her Rod as she goes, she says "what's going on?"
|
|
Larkspring stops in his tracks as he sees two persons pop out of hiding and fire upon him. He dashes for cover between two buildings all the while speaking arcane words giving him added power to deal with this new threat. Triska and Sabriel hear the gnomes yell and run over to the gate in time to hear Fir's roar and see him moving in the direction of the station houses doorway where stands someone.
Init order:
Larkspring
Enemy
Triska
Sabriel
Fir
Orelan???
First Round-Begin!
|
|
Larkspring runs for cover between the two buildings . He says something in a hoarse whisper which the others cannot hear, but it does not sound like any language they know. Outside, Fir's tendons stand out in his legs, and his back ripples with muscle. Larkspring then draws his sling. He needs to remove his shield, though to load it. Fir rushes the person in the doorway.
|
|
Standing in the little alley way Larkspring speaks some arcane words which increase the little ones strengh for the coming fight. Two arrows streak out from the enemy's positions striking Fir in the shoulder and right leg causing him to roar in pain.(8 hps dam) He shakes off the pain somehow in his rage and charges the nearest attacker standing at the doorway of the station house. His massive paw swings out and connects with the creature leaving large rips across its skin tearing it open.
Sabriel sees the figure in the doorway fire at Fir and whips her Rod up, sending a blast of Arcane Energy coursing through it. It streaks out towards the figure and impacts into the door frame by his head.
Eldritch Spear (Ranged Touch Attack; 250' Range). (1d20+4=12)
Triska pulls back her bow and looses an arrow, then curses as the shot flies wide. Attack (1d20+8=9); Damage (1d8+3=4) She ducks behind one of the gates to gain some cover against any return attacks.
|
|
Larkspring removes his shield and loads his sling. Fir, enraged at being wounded, attacks the elven creature in the doorway again. Larkspring shouts at the elves, "What do you want?!? Why are you attacking us? Stop attacking me and my friends, and my bear will not fight you!" in the hopes of parlay.
[ooc]Larkspring: Remove and drop shield (move action), load sling (move action).
Fir: Full attack action: Claw 1d20+8=18, 1d4+6=10; claw 1d20+8=18, 1d4+6=7; bite 1d20+3=8, 1d6+3=5.
For Zoom:
Triska runs forward to the corner of the garrison and fires another arrow at the figure in the doorway, using the corner for cover.
Attack (point blank) (1d20+9=19); Damage (1d8+4=8)
Sabriel follows triska's lead and moves to the opposite corner from her (the corner of the Guardhouse) and raises both arms, throwing them towards the elf as a ray of fire shoots towards him.
Fiery Gaze (Ranged Touch Attack). (1d20+4=16)
Fiery Gaze Damage. (4d6=10)

Larkspring shouts out as he gets ready to fight; "What do you want?!? Why are you attacking us? Stop attacking me and my friends, and my bear will not fight you!" in the hopes of parlay. He recieves no answer from the attackers. While Larkspring is shouting the elves attack the bear being the only target visible to them at the moment. The elf by the door thrusts out with his spear but somehow misses the large bear in front of him. He steps into the doorway to try and get some cover from the bear. His friend atop the officers quarters takes a shot but also barely misses, his arrow lodging itself in the wooden railing of the bridge. Triska races out after the elves attack and fires at the elf stepping back into the building hitting it in the shoulder as the elf disappears. She finishes her run taking cover behind the garrison. Right on the heels of Triska, Sabriel dashes out and into the little alley between the toll booth and the guardhouse where stands Larkspring. She shoots forth a ray of arcane energy at the elf in the doorway leaving a burning black spot on its chest, the elf reels in pain from the attacks not ready for two big paws full of deadly claws to maul him in the station house's doorway ending its life. Orelan moves up to the gate and peers around trying to see what's going on with his friends......
Sabriel sees Ur take down the man and moves over to the bear, hoping to get a better view of their other attacker and to check that the man is in fact dead.
Triska stays where she is, looking carefully for anymore attackers.
(1d20+8=17)

As Larkspring moves from out of cover an arrow comes flying in from further up the bridge hitting him in the shoulder(7 hps dam) but it does not stop his motion in his own attack at the elf on the roof of the officers quarters. The arrow does cause him problems though as his shot goes wide and over the building. The elf on the roof tries to shoot at the bear again, the arrow however lodges into the door frame. Triska sees the elf step out of the doorway of the smith's quarter that attacked Larkspring. She takes a shot(attack roll needed-at the edge of your range!) before the elf tries to step back into the building. While the elves are ingaged Sabriel quickly moves over to the elf laying on the ground at the station house's doorway. She bends down and checks the elf to see if he is truely dead or not. She can plainly see that the elf is no longer living. A moment later she see a bear shoot out of the station house and race straight for the officer's quarter. Fir jumps and grabs ahold of the roof's ledge and heaves himself up to the roof, growling at the elf.......
Triska fires an arrow at the distant elf Attack (1d20+8=11), Damage (1d8+3=7) and curses again as she misses.
Triska runs forward and into the station house through the door Fir just exited. Once inside, she looks for a way up to the roof to get a better vantage point on their attackers.
Seeing Fir jump onto the roof, she thinks that would be a good idea to get a better vantage of the area. She dashes inside the bulding behind her to see if she can find some stairs to take her onto the roof.
Spot Check (to look for enemies). (1d20+2=9)

Seeing the elf in the distance Triska fires off a shot at it but the distance must be to great as the arrow skids along the bridge, the elf disappears into the building. Larkspring dashes into cover of the station house and waits for Triska as she runs in a few seconds behind him. As she is passing by him making her way to the stairs in the back of the building, he reaches out and touches her sending her a bit of his arcane might. She feels lighter on her feet as she makes her way up the stairs. Seeing the big bear crest the roof the elf steps back and fires off a round at the him hitting him in the shoulder(2 hps dam). The bear charges the elf who drops his bow and grabs his sprear, he quickly lashes out at the bear before it gets to close at strikes Fir in the fore leg(5 hps dam). The bear's giant paws try to get a hold of the elf but he somehow manages to push the paws to the side and escapes being crushed by the bear. Sabriel follows Triska up the stairs and finds a small room with a desk, over turned chairs and papers all over the floor. There is a door on the south wall of the room that seems to lead to a balcony over looking the river. The door is not locked and you both step out side onto the balcony. Both of you attempt to climb up onto the roof(both need to make climb checks!)
Sabriel stows her Rod and attempts to climb from the balcony up onto the roof.
Climb Check. (1d20=9)
Tegid, cautious at hearing the sounds of battle, whispers a brief prayer to Irori, surrounding himself with a shimmering field of energy and loads his crossbow before peering through the open gates.

The elf confronting the bear makes an attack knowing it might be his last. He lunges forward with his spear but again fails his fear getting the best of him. Triska easily climbs onto the roof and takes a moment to help Sabriel who is having trouble. Having gained the roof they both move to positions to help their friend and have a better shots at the enemy. Fir bats the spear aside and tears into the elf ending it's life, bits and pieces of the elf going in all directions. The new comer stands at the gate and sees a bear on top of the roof tearing a jungle elf apart, on the roof of the station house, two ladies who look like they can take care of themselves are moving into their own positions. He also sees three elves down at the other end of the bridge moving up towards them trying to gain closer positions and the ladies don't seem to have notice them yet..........

Sabriel sees Fir take out the elf he is battling and then notices a newcomer down by the gate. He's not an elf like the other attackers, but that doesn't mean he's not with them. She nudges Triska and moves down the opposite end of the building closer to him, pulling out her Rod again as she goes the make sure if he attacks them she has a shot lined up.

Seeing the elves approach from the opposite end of the bridge and noticing that the other strangers haven't noticed them yet Tegid takes off down the center of the bridge, fires at the elves, and shouts to get the elves attention, "You rat bastard sons of Rovagug! I'll kill you for eating Galu!"

Larkspring dashes back into cover of the alley way across the bridge. He makes it there with no problems, no attacks come flying his way.
The three elves move up the bridge trying to gain shots at the bear who tore their brother apart. They take up positions in the merchant stalls and in the ally of the armoury-food store buildings. They try to melt into the buildings.
Triska follows Sabriel to the other edge of the building watching the new comer start to advance down the bridge.
The bear having just finished off the elf looks around for a new target but fails to see anyone on the roofs of its building or any others at the moment. A few seconds later everyone hears a new comer to the battle rush down the bridge and start shooting in the direction of the other end of the bridge. An elf just emerged from the other ends toll booth checking to see where his other brothers ran off too gets nicked by a bolt. He quickly jumps back into the safety of the building.
[ooc]Next round! Tegid roll damage on the elf, go ahead and roll att and dam for your action unless you miss real bad of course! It will keep the pace going faster. Elves locations are unsure to your pc's but the toll booth elf-S41. Tegid at R14, Lark at P10, Fir at O18, Sabriel and Triska at S18 and 19!

Sabriel sees the man rushing down the bridge and braces herself to attack, but then sees him fire off a crossbow bolt at another elf at the end of the bridge. The elf ducks back into a building, so Sabriel spends a moment in contemplation and then hurries to the end of the roof, climbing easily down the outside and ducking into one of the Merchant Stalls so she has some cover.
Triska moves to the corner of the roof and targets any elf she can see, either in the merchant stalls below or the alley across the bridge.
Attack (1d20+9=28); Damage (1d8+4=12)

In the little alley way, Larkspring takes a moment of his time to get his shield ready for the move down the bridge towards more of the elves.
No sign of the elf who entered the toll booth. An elf peers around the corner of the armoury and fires at the exposed Tegid slicing him in the arm and the arrow continuing on to skid across the bridge behind him.(2 hps dam).
Triska moves to the corner of the station house and sees an elf in the alley of the armoury and the food stores buildings. It fires on the new comer and his him in the arm. Below she hears from the covered merchant stalls movement as she turns and fires on the elf across the way hitting it in the chest with one of her arrows. It staggers back deeper into the alley. The movement stops in the merchant stalls below you.
Sabriel rushes past Triska and easily climbs down the side of the building using magical means to help her. Once at the bottom and steps into the merchant stalls she spots two elves moving towards her through the stalls, over tables, through curtains used as wall between stalls and other litter with bows drawn at her.....
Fir bounces down off the roof and starts to run up the bridge towards the only elf he had seen so far until an arrow flashes past him and into an elf to his right. He also sees movement in the merchant stalls and Sabriel duck into them. He skids to a halt as his brains register there are more elves behind him now that his run took him to far and his friend might need his help.
Sabriel sees the two elves with bows drawn moving towards her and considers throwing another Eldritch Blast, before deciding against it rushing towards the nearest, drawing her rapier as she goes. She slashes out at him, hoping to get in close and make their bows useless, but the strike goes wide, slicing into one of the cloth walls.
