In reply to Rosewood (msg # 137):

"Why are you concerned? It was merely a mortsl, and apparently. one that was trying to kill your associates...although none of them should be particularly dear to you, given their heritage."

Rosewood look straight at the Ambrosia Nocturne.
The taking of a life, what ever creature that life is should always be the concern of the creature that took it.  If it is not then the killer is no better than a mad animal killing everything in it path and has lost it's spirit or soul.  With out a soul or spirit then the creature become a form of walking dead.  It's only place in the world is to be berried in a grave and forgotten.

The thing is.  I am now questioning if your spiritual heritage is not closer to the man I killed than me.  Can you see how alike you are to him by the question you just ask me?  Use your intelligence like he could not and see your so like in your disdain for anything that is not like yourself.  Should we not be better than that?

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 139):

Given the discussion about the heritage, Anita will either

a) Kill another purist if there is one within range, dodging any attacks that may occur. [Private to GM: Rolled 2 under skill, modified for throat. Rolled 4 cut damage to throat. Rolled 2 under dodge if needed.]or
b) Recock her crossbow if there are no purists within range.

"Sounds like another bloody purist, but fey variety. Like we can choose heritage...maybe the bitch is a mix too and does not know it..." she says to no-one in particular.

"Well! Cross the winter court off my Christmas list!"
Leroy interjected, tongue-in-cheek.

Ooc:  sorry been out of touch.  Is the Fairy woman on the same roof as Marcus?

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 142):

She is on a roof diagonally behind.
"As you would then. I do not despise your allies, they do not merit my concern, having as yet no place in the court." She lets her gaze fall upon Marcus.
"You have two left,are you letting her get the last?"

"We ought not murder these men...Besides, isn't  there enough carnage here to satisfy your bloodlusts?"

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 144):

"It is not how many I have killed, but the ones still alive that concern me. If you two assholes want to live, stop running and drop you weapons..."

She stops herself, barely, and resheaths her knife if they drop their weapons.

Marcus stares momentarily at the woman then fast draws an arrow and tries to quickly shoot one of the fleeing men in the leg...

18:24, Today: Marcus Blackthorn rolled 15 using 3d6.  Fast draw arrow 15 or less.

18:24, Today: Marcus Blackthorn rolled 11 using 3d6.  Quick ready roll#2 15 or less.

18:25, Today: Marcus Blackthorn rolled 17 using 3d6.  Quick shot roll #2 aiming for the leg 15 or less (gets aiming bonus from Heroic archer).

OOC: Crap I rolled a critical failure to hit.

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 146):

Marcus, roll a secondary crit fail result

15:04, Today: Marcus Blackthorn rolled 8 using 3d6.  critical failure result.

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 148):

Due to the distraction,  your shot goes wild, and the bowstring catches on the clasp of your bracer, requiring an extra second to ready for the next draw.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 149):

Did the Purists stop and drop weapons, or does Anita keep killing them?

If not, she will slash again...

[Private to GM: Rolled 8 under effective skill. If move and attack is necessary, then a -4 as well as the -2 for neck slash. 1 cutting damage to neck if not dodged.]

Leroy will accept any surrenders.
"Go on. You better do what they say.. Drop the weapons. We'll probably strip you of your valuables and gear, lecture you, and let you go...Can you believe your own boss lady, doesn't seem to care if you'se guys live or die??"

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 151):

"You mistake me. I have nothing to do with these mortals."

In reply to Ambrosia Nocturne (msg # 152):

One of them throws down his club, another, shield still smouldering, moves to protect his neck, and carefully takes a step back.
Anita must make another vision-2 roll before acting.

In reply to Purist (msg # 153):

Anita is only worried about killing those escaping. To the guy protecting his neck, she says

"Staying put and not fighting is your best defence..."

She looks around...[Private to GM: Rolled 4 under perception for vision roll. Rolled 1 under will to control bloodlust.]

Marcus readies another arrow this round.

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 154):

Anita avoids anothe hex of caltrops as she moves in.

The fae woman starts to fade from sight.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 156):

So there are no more running? If not, she will approach the guys who have stopped. If any are still running, she will carefully give chase, avoiding caltrops...

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 157):

There is one six yards behind the blocker. Because the caltrops have been kicked around, that is 5 yards of per-2 rolls to get to him. Marcus hasa much betterchance of felling him

"Okay Gordab, let's round 'em up, for a good talkin' to. After we take their stuff...Hand it over...!"
Leroy brandishes his axe, menacingly.

Marcus quick fires at thevfkeeing man's vitals.


23:00, Today: Marcus Blackthorn rolled 11 using 3d6.  Quick shot roll #2 14 or less (gets aiming bonus from Heroic archer - 3 for vitals).

23:01, Today: Marcus Blackthorn rolled 8 using 1d6+3.  Damage to torso 1d6+3 dr/2 imp x2(0.5) after DR.

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 160):

Anita will focus instead on those nearer her, disarming them, and making it clear what happens if they misbehave.

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 161):

Are you disarming the wounded, or the one guy blocking? Marcus took out the man fleeing.
