Act 2, Scene 3: Twisting Paths

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Bull is prone and tries to roll away from the Worg going totally defensive.

[Jenara]

Katten turns her bow on the mounted Goblin attacking Bullock (unless there are anymore trying to flee)

Long Bow (Thaco 16) [1d20]=5 dmg [1d6]=3

Long Bow (Thaco 16) [1d20]=15 dmg [1d6]=5

(Accidentally clicked longsword between rolls, in case it shows up!)

[TristenC]

[ooc] gwr2 is already obeying Fin's command, having been killed by Nocturno I'll presume you meant the other worg rider [/ooc]

Jordek hurls a dagger at the Worg attacking his 'Beefy' friend, but the weapon sails wide of the mark. The Svirfneblin hustles up behind Katten so he can see the rest of the fight. He whispers and holds his holy symbol, then with a commanding voice he shouts at the Worg rider to DIE!!! The goblin goes limp and slides from his mount to the floor as if he were truly dead. The goblin newly arrived and not yet in the fight, squeals at the sight of his ally seemingly slain with a single syllable! He turns as if to run, but not before the Felis Ranger puts an arrow through his side. Staggering he struggles to escape south.

Bull rolls away from the evil canine, standing as soon as he is a few feet clear; still gripping his swords. The worg pursues with a savage hatred, lunging at the Minotaur. The fighter brings his sword up to block or deflect the gnashing teeth, but vicious jaws clamp down on his shoulder despite his efforts, further injuring him. Now beside the beast, Jordek hurls a second blade, this time connecting with a painful yelp!

The Light and Dark elves slash their swords as the goblins thrust their spears but no blow is landed in the exchange. Letting out a slow breath, Katten takes aim at the fleeing wetrocks tribesman a second time. The arrow flies true, striking the screaming goblin between the shoulders. His body tumbles to a sliding stop just inside the passage south in silence... Whether anything beyond was near enough to hear is not yet obvious...


[There are 2 types of parry rules in Complete fighter. The basic style doesn't allow for movement. The second version says nothing about not moving, so I allowed it. Essentially you use your attacks against incoming attacks and if you 'hit' you block the attack. If Bull uses his magical shield it will boost his AC a little. Shields also get an additional +2 with this type of parry maneuver]

[TristenC]

Jordek chitters and clicks to his tiny flying squirrel companion, and Chitt pokes his furry face out eyes wide and nose testing the air in fear at the sound of the melee around them. Snatching the tiny creature by the scruff of the neck with a gentle pinching gesture in both hands, Jordek begins chanting in the secret language of the Forest Gnomes. As he speaks he pulls his hands apart and the squirrel seems to stretch until with an audible ‘Pop!’ there are suddenly Three of them! Alright, Nitt and Witt! Go scratch that Worg’s Face OFF!! He says in common, the original burrowing back into his clothes as the two clones rush forward in a tiny frenzy! One of the little creatures manages to find the evil canine in the dark and begins clawing about its eyes and face, distracting it!

The goblin facing Nocturno jabs at the heavily armored Elf, ducking just under his clumsy swing and sinking the spear-tip into the gap under his arm; drawing blood. The Felis fires over Linar’s shoulder, killing his opponent. The dark elf re-directs his attention to the wetrock tribesman attacking his nearby ally. With a deadly grace the Drow slashes and stabs into his target’s back, The goblin gurgling as it slips lifelessly from the bloodied blades.

In a last-ditch effort to save himself, Bullock slashes with his broadswords at the red-eyed Worg savaging him. His weapon cuts cleanly into the beast, driving the life from its body.

Fin, seeing his target unconscious, wastes no time as he strides up; club in hand. With a powerful swing he brings it down on the head of the dazed worg-rider, ensuring the foe will never rise again. The last goblin to the south, rushes towards the Svirfneblin with a shout, stabbing him with his spear! No sooner does his attack land when an arrow streaks from Katten’s bow, striking him in the chest; staggering but not felling the furious goblin.

The din of battle is dying down as the last enemy in view seems oblivious to the fate of his fellow tribesmen as he continues to try to stab the deep Gnome.

[Since it looks like nobody else is posting…]

Jordek draws his dagger and slips around behind the last goblin. With a well placed thrust he strikes the creature down. Fin moves off away from his neutralized opponent to apply healing to the damaged Minotaur, and sealing up a significant portion of his wounds.

The calm after the storm lingers in the air, faint sounds far to the south reaching only Katten’s sensitive ears. There are more… but they no headed this way… yet. She says, tensing her bowstring.
