CH 10: The Tharkadan Towers

[Kafen]

Tas attacks one of the Draconian beasts with a sling stone as he steps five feet to the side giving the others room to flank if the bad guys get close.

(( Attacking the draconians via generic target which means that the rules come into play as per ooc bit, http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3613996/ page keeps giving me a white out. So, I am not sure what happened. ))

[Nuke]

Riverwind continues to wait, not wanting to jump into a whole pile of Draconians.

He bares his blades and tries to look menacing.

[JadedDM]

Immediately, one of the draconians drops to all fours and charges at Laurana like an angry dog. He then gets up and strikes with his blade, cutting her slightly.

Goldmoon then fires her sling, smacking another draconian in the right shoulder with the stone.

Three things then happen at once. Laurana puts an arrow through the eye of one kapak, killing him instantly. His acid remains burn his two nearest comrades. Angry, they both rush forward--one toward Magpie, the other toward Riverwind--and both strike with their swords, cutting flesh to avenge their fallen friend.

The last draconian charges Tasslehoff, doing severe harm to the already wounded kender who hasn't fully recovered from his little fall earlier. Stepping five feet away, Tas then flings a stone at the draconian who just attacked him, smacking him good in the chest with enough force to break a rib.

[Breila]

Dropping her sling now that all opponents are in melee range, Goldmoon takes her staff and attacks Kapak No. 5 "Duck, Tas!" she calls out and then shouts: "Caramon! Where are you? We need help here!"

INIT 6, would hit AC 6 for 2 damage

[Nuke]

Riverwind was expecting it, but not so fast. Regrouping, he swings with the flat of his blade at his foe.

init, and to hit (1d10=6, 1d20+3=16)

damage (1d8+3=6)

Following up with the pommel of his dagger.

1d10, 1d20=[1], [4]

Init 1, total miss.

Magpie grunts and draws her little dagger, aiming for the creatures throat.
1d10, 1d20, 1d3=[2], [7], [2]
(Again missing)

[Jerrard]

Sturm hears Goldmoons cries and charges into the room, already injured he does the best he can to move, sword drawn he swings the flat of his blade at the creature attacking Tas.

1d10, 1d20+1, 1d10+6, 1d20+1, 1d10+6=[2], [20, 1], [4, 6], [5, 1], [6, 6], 1d10, 1d20+1, 1d10+6, 1d20+1, 1d10+6=[7], [13, 1], [5, 6], [19, 1], [4, 6]

Tas steps back towards the door by five feet and slings another stone at a mean ol' dragonman. Targeting a live one, he does not block anyone from entering the room.

1d10, 1d20+3, 1d4+1 → ([4], [11, 3], [3, 1])

[JadedDM]

Dropping Riverwind's bow to the ground, Laurana launches a kick at her opponent, but it doesn't even have enough force to move him, much less harm him. He laughs mockingly at her. Magpie then launches herself at her own opponent with her dagger, but the kapak blocks with his own sword, before counter-attacking. Magpie manages to hop aside in time, though.

Goldmoon calls for help before striking with her staff, which the kapak blocks. Caramon starts to come forward, but Eben grabs his shoulder. "Hold on. We were ordered to wait out here, remember?" Caramon frowns, but nods.

Sturm hurries in and attacks, trying to use the flat of his blade. But he accidentally takes the kapak's head off, causing a big mess of acid to wash over him, Goldmoon, Tas, Magpie and at least one other kapak.

Laurana's opponent strikes quickly and fiercely. Holding no weapon, the elf maiden cannot block or parry, so she sidesteps. The blade cuts her across the cheek as she does so, but does no serious harm.

Riverwind strikes in rapid succession, first smacking his opponent with the flat of his blade, and then punching him with the pommel of his dagger. The kapak sways, but manages a counter-attack that the ranger easily parries.

Tasslehoff feebly limps out of the acid, badly burned. He chucks a stone toward the kapak that Riverwind is fighting, smacking him hard in the head and leaving a nasty lump there.
