CH. 8: Reunion

[Jenara]

Arei darts forward, aiming directly for the assassins hand holding the blade, trying to disarm him.

Called shot: 1d20=8 missed
Init:1d10=4

"You can't escape now!" she shouts, "Joyceln are you ok?"

[HorizonsDream]

"Fine...fine, you know, until this man tried to kill me!" Jocelyn said, still remaining in full defense.

Init Roll (5)

[Breila]

Ouragana listens to the sounds coming from Jocelyn's study, ready to run outside to fetch help when Jocelyn, Areilon or Val call for it.

[Nuke]

Val rushes in, trident at the ready. She moves between the attacker and Jocelyn, threatening the man, "Drop it or you're whale food."

[JadedDM]

The assassin hesitates, but only for a moment. Just long enough for Val to burst into the room and move in to protect Jocelyn. The assassin stabs his dagger at the half-orc, but she easily blocks it with her trident's shaft. Areilon then moves in and tries to disarm the man, but the attack is too slow and she hits nothing but air. "I'll kill you to get to her!" the assassin warns.

[HorizonsDream]

"He will too," Jocelyn comments, as she knows exactly what this is all about. Though, with Val and Arei here, she decides to just run to her room to get her armor and weapon, in the least.

Init Roll (8)

[Breila]

Ouragana moves to the door of Jocelyn's study, to be able to see as well as hear what is going on. Her hand is in her sash so she can draw her dager if the assasin comes to attack her.

[Jenara]

Arei shifts her position, once again aiming for the assassins hand, trying to disarm him.

1d10, 1d20=[8], [17]
Init: 8, hit AC: 2, for: 1d6+1=4 damage.

"I will stop you, whatever you think you are doing, its not happening!" She shouts, moving all the time.

[Nuke]

Val has not such silly ideas, parlay is over.

Stabbing quickly, she seeks to maim.

init, hit and damage (1d10, 1d20+3, 1d6+4=[4], [5, 3], [2, 4])

[JadedDM]

Val sidesteps another stab from the assassin, who appears almost fanatical. Jocelyn quickly runs outside, toward her office, finding her hammer, shield and sling sitting near her bed. Ouragana steps up to the doorway, blocking any further entrance or exit, so she can see better.

Val counterattacks with her trident, but the assassin nimbly hops backwards to avoid the sharp prongs of her new trident. Areilon then comes up and slashes him with her sabre, cutting deeply into his side. "Damn!" he hisses, pain and surprise replacing the fervor in his eyes only a moment ago.

[Jenara]

And...

1d10, 1d20+3, 1d6+1=[7], [1, 3], [3, 1]

Need I say more?

[HorizonsDream]

Jocelyn quickly puts on her bracer, slings her warhammer over her shoulder, and takes her sling before she heads back to where the fighting is taking place. "Keep him alive, if you can. I have questions!" she calls out to the others.

[Nuke]

Val attacks again....

init, hit and damage (1d10, 1d20+3, 1d6+4=[6], [4, 3], [5, 4])

[JadedDM]

Jocelyn comes up behind Ouragana and shouts to take the assassin alive. This may prove more difficult than first imagined, though; luck doesn't seem to favor either side of this conflict.

Badly wounded from Areilon's strike, the assassin seems to have decided that discretion is the better part of valor. He quickly stabs Val in the shoulder, then turns to run for the window. The blade barely nicks the half-orc, but at once the wound burns as she realizes the weapon is poisoned. Fortunately, she didn't take a very big dose, so the pain is non-lethal; it does, however, cause her to miss entirely with her trident.

Areilon moves to try and stop the assassin from escaping, but he parries with his dagger with such force that it knocks the sabre from her hand. It clatters to the ground at her feet, giving the assassin the opportunity he needs.

----Val saves vs. poison [13] (1d20): 17, pass. Val takes (2d6): 2 damage.

[Jenara]

"What in the hell!" Drawing her Stilletto from her belt she throws it over arm at the departing assassin.

1d10, 1d20, 1d3=[8], [3], [1] misses..
