In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 572):

Gareth mutters a few more words, and another fireball appears...

[Private to GM: Rolled 8 under skill to cast.]

The adept moves back toward the place they had been standing, looking for any who were affected.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 574):

The adept finds the camp in some disarray, as it had been in the process of settling in, , and tthe laborers in a state of retreat from the cloud. None had breathed in in, and are all at risk for being overrun by the advancing bandits.


The knife wielder turns and runs,  just barely avoiding tripping.

Gareth can see the spellcaster beating out the flames.

Gorgath can see the charging crowd of bandits below him, in addition to the nearby fleeing charred archers.

The Adept draws his Greatsword and faces the coming mass ... Come ! Sssstand and Fight!

Gorgath humph'd at the half-order from Haveron.


But he agreed internally as he turned and moved towards the charging bandits.

Sorsha drops an exploding lighting ball in the middle of the charging mass.

[Private to GM: 20:29, Today: Sorsha rolled 10 using 3d6.  spell. verus 15
20:30, Today: Sorsha rolled 13 using 3d6.  throw. versus 15
20:30, Today: Sorsha rolled 12 using 3d6.  damage.]

Haveron shrugged in a sigh "Bloody cowards... he said with obvious derision in his voice.

Glancing about where his comrade had turned Haveron glanced over to look at what was going on and where the Ogre was going.

"Well, this changes things, I suppose he said wryly.



Haveron, will glance around and survey the current field - to see exactly what's getting on.

(Can i get an overview summary of what's going on)

If bandits are charging, Haveron will then take off after them

The Adept finds a spot where he will not be easily flanked and comes on guard.  He attempts to cast a spell ...

Berry will, "get to cover", in other do her best to put some number of people between her and the charging bandits.

In reply to Berry (msg # 581):

Seven bandits fall to Sorsha's lightning bomb; three are not moving, four are twitching, abd an 8th on the periphery of the blast shrieks and charges, his hair stabdig on end.

Berry dodges behind a wagon.


Gorgath is two seconds away from striking.

Haveron is three seconds out.

The knife wielder siezes the opportunity to run, as do the other charred archers.

Gareth can see the bandit spellcaster beginning a spell if some kind.

About a dozen and a half of the bandits are on their feet, and haven't yet reacted to your response.

Soraha is feeling a little fatigued.

Haveron continued to run, frustrated that the knife-man had retreated. As he ran he drew the sword, and prepared to step in. Considering the Ogre, he figured that there may be an aggressive first encounter and so he opted to defend the hulking beast and himself


He will go in 'all out defending' both himself and Gorgath. He is behind ghe Ogre so it make ssense.
If that isn't allowed he will 'wait' until someone threatens to attack Gorgath and intercept the attack with a stop hit or something.

I guess the 'rule' for this is 'interposing a weapon' written up by Kromm.

(ooc- can she drop down near the mage?)

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 584):

Relative to Sorsha, the MAge is far up the hillside accross from the cliff. Gareth is rapidly approaching him.

Gorgath continues his movement towards the bulk of the bandits ahead of him.

Looking to his side, he notices Haveron, "You? Again?"

Haveron cocked an eyebrow as he jogged alongisde "Someone has to keep you breathing, eh?

Sorsha will drop down behind Gorgath and follow him, trying to catch her wind.

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 588):

Three of the charging brigands find themselves in range of the Doomrazor, two veer off to the side, leaving one dead center to Gorgath, although he could still take all three with a rapid strike.

Haveron is one second from engaging a spearman, and Sorsha is 4 seconds out.

Gareth is passing 1/2 damage range into full damage; the mage has finished his spell, and there is a rumbling from above!

Sorsha pulls her sword and continues to follow as she looks at the rumbling.

As he awaits the enemy, the Adept again tries his spell ...


[Private to GM: 19:44, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 14 using 3d6.  Armor 2 (4 FP). Not good enough again. Missed by  3]

Haveron, jumped to the side, quickstepped forward and into range, being sure to angle his blade for the incoming strike and then spun into a full swinging arc. Silver flashed across the sky as his sword aimed true.

The quick step and spin was aimed at throwing off the timing of the enemy, and as he turned into the swing he felt his years of perfection pass down his arms and right into the tip. A warrior had a sense of these things, the precise location of the tip, edge and weight and Haveron knew in that moment that the man had no chance.

He hoped Amelia saw, with a crooked grin.

4:58, Today: Haveron Stormwal rolled 8 using 3d6.  committed attack (location neck (-5) +2.

14:58, Today: Haveron Stormwal rolled 4 using 3d6.  sword (feint).

[Private to GM: Well, his feint was a 'pass by 16'... and then a hit to the neck of the spear man]
Ultimately, I didn't roll damage -- it'll be something vaguely catastrophic for the man.

Now with a moment to catch her breath and behind some level of cover, Berry will begin firing on the bandits again. She takes a second to aim at the closest bandit and then fires her mystic bolt.


Mechanics:
Skill: Innate Attack - 10 (+3 Aim)
Dodge: The target is allowed to dodge
Damage: 3 10:13, Today: Berry rolled 3 using 1d6-2.  Mystic (Magic) Bolt Damage.

In reply to Berry (msg # 593):

The bolt catches an unsuspecting bandit squarely in the chest, causing him to drop his weapon in shock.

Haveron critically feinted, causing the bandit to be utterly open to his next swing, which separates his surprised looking head from his shoulders, and sends a spray of blood into the air!

Steeping closer to the bandits, Gorgath sends Doomrazor cutting through the air with practiced ease at the first bandit. With a quick spin of the ogre's wrist, the silver coated slayer is sent hurtling towards the chest of the other nearby bandit.

OOC:
Rapid Strike #1: Decpetive -4/-2 at Bandit #1: Hit, 26 cutting

Rapid Strike #2: Deceptive -4-2 at Bandit #2: Hit, 28 cutting

[Private to GM:
21:41, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 28 using 4d6+14.  damage roll #2.
21:41, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 26 using 4d6+14.  damage roll #1.
21:38, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 12 using 3d6.  RS#2of2: Skill 24-3-1-4:16.
21:37, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 12 using 3d6.  RS#1of2: Skill 24-3-1-4:16.]

The two bandits who first met Doomrazor do mot fare well. The first strike splits the chest open and cleaves through the collarbone, leaving one arm dangling as blood gushes from the massive wound, and out of his moth and nose.

The second bandit is cleft diagonally accross his abdomen on the upswing, spilling his intestines on his feet.
Both sway, and collapse about a second later.

The majority of the remaining bandits seem to hesitate in their movements.

Pressing the advantage, Haveron continued to stride forward, spreading out from the Ogre and towards another one of the bandits. He tried to illicit an attack by feinting a second spinning attack, but followed up with an up thrust of his pommel to the man's face.

[Private to GM: Okay

Okay, so will move into engage the next one. He'll feint and step in to close range and then do a 2 handed uppercut with his sword's pommel to the shin of the other enemy.

The goal is to spin/feint inside the man's guard and then smash him with the hilt of the weapon to send him sprawling but not necessarily kill him.

I can roll as needed, but im happy for you to do what you think is best in terms of rolling

Thanks!]
