Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Morg looks to see if the guard is still alive, but then notices all sorts of strange things in the water, looks up at the elf and points in Magdrak's direction before runing towards the dwarf who seems to be surrounded by a serpent, boar, and bear.
If Morg took >14 damage from falling off the wall onto the guard, then:
Bonus action: 2nd wind (I'll roll later for it if needed).

Move: 25' from ¿v42? to ¿ad46?.

Action: dash 25' from ¿ad46? to ¿ai46?.

Rolls, stands, and dashes to ac46.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Makari glanced over the wall before he started to set the rope up for everyone to climb up.

.....there was no one there. He frowned and looked around, but only saw the dead or unconscious guard below. He heard some sounds from around the corner but couldn't see what was going.

He looked at Morg. "where is everyone??" He noticed Morg's alarmed face and the dwarf hurrying towards him. "what is it?"

OOC: Is there a place to tie the rope off securely at the top of the wall? And I know you said it but I can't find it now - how much of a drop from the top of the wall to the ground is it?

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Twin blasts of magical energy slam into the struggling boar as it tries to escape the hugging bear.

Morg leaps over the crenelated wall and tumbles down the steep hill, then regains his footing and tries to get as close as possible to the struggle at the water's edge.

Mid round update!

Gorm, Magdrak, and Durik are up now. Rowan can also post now.

Gorm, the boar is using its action to escape the grapple - it rolled a 15. If it escapes (if you roll a 15 or lower on an athletics check) then it will move to AP40 and you can make an attack of opportunity against it if you choose. Otherwise, it stays put and does nothing else.

Morg, I rolled an athletics check for you and - well, you failed it ;). Morg takes 2 damage and rolls down part of the steep hill, then regains his footing. You made it to AC46 on the map.

19:02, Today: Secret Roll: DM rolled 15 using 1d20+3 with rolls of 12.  wereboar grapple escape.
18:53, Today: Secret Roll: DM, on behalf of Morg Danforge, rolled 9 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 1.  athletics check - jump down.
18:54, Today: Secret Roll: DM rolled 2 using 2d6 with rolls of 1,1.  Morg falling damage.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

The slippery boar manages to wriggle its way free of the bear's grasp, but undaunted by this failure the bear chases after it and grapples it again, same thing, different place.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Makari blinked several times rapidly and then shook his head as Morg went over the side. He let out a sigh and tied the rope off - which was possibly only necessary for himself at that point. He then began to climb down the rope once it was secure.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

The boar slips through the bear's grasp and runs north along the riverbank, headed for the river gate into the castle. The bear gives chase.

Atop the eastern wall of the castle, a lone guard squints into the dying light of evening, trying to make out what looks like movement near the water's edge.


Map updated!

Tana, Rowan, Makari, Morg, and Gorm are up now. Magdrak and Durik can also post now and may change their posts after the boar and/or guards take their turns.

Round 4 Summary:

Tana casts Agonizing Blast at the boar - HITS twice for 17 force.

Rowan stays put.

Makari ties a rope to the wall and climbs down.

Morg jumps the wall - athletics check FAILS. Morg takes 2 falling damage and is prone. Morg stands and continues moving toward Magdrak.

Guards
B2 stays put, looking around.

Boar escapes Gorm's grapple and moves north. Gorm gives chase and re-grapples the boar.

Magdrak stays put.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Tana lost sight of the enormous boar as it smashed its way through the riverbank.  She cursed under her breath, and took a moment to evaluate her choices.  None of them were good, and quite literally all of them were far more flashy than she was comfortable with.  Still, she had played her hand already, it was time to deal with the consequences.

Her right hand was still smoking from where her power had seared it, so she used her left to reach into her belt pouch and withdraw a small black raven's feather.  With a muttered curse, she slapped the black feather into her right fist and clenched it tight.  Flames burst between her clenched fingers, as if the feather itself had lit the moment she had attempted to quench it.  She hissed in pain, and a trio of glowing crimson runes spun in a circle about her closed fist.  With a whisper, she opened her hand, and a surge of power crackled over her form.  She arched her back as the magic infused her, contorting as the essence of it lifted her bodily off her feet.  Yet she remained there, utterly unnatural, floating an inch off the crowd.  As the last crackle of power flowed through her, her eyes snapped open, and she shot over the earth like a tiny comet to rise over the river.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Morg saw the beasts move north, and the serpent disappear, and was about to motion to Mag to came to the rope Makari had tied when he saw a small creature fly towards the other dwarf. He ran towards the water, hoping to help Mag against the flying pirate.
Move: 25' from ac46 ah47.

Action: dash 15' from ah47 to ak47.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Makari climbed down and then walked away from the wall to look around and see the river once more. He didn't see anything untoward and looked at Morg with the equivalent of a "what the hell, dude?" sort of look. He heard some splashing somewhere he couldn't see around the corner but there didn't look to be any immediate danger.

"what the hell? where did everyone-?" He cut off as someone he didn't know glowed with a red light and then flew upwards. "who is that??" He made a frustrated noise and gesture. Things were happening and he didn't know what was going on anymore.

He mentally asked Moonclaw to move to the edge closest to the river where she was on top to see what was going on, and he looked through her keen eyes.

OOC: Makari moved to AG-45, leaning against the wall currently.
Moonclaw moved to AO-37, but up on top.
Makari uses his action to look/listen through the familiar's senses.

16:25, Today: Secret Roll: Makari rolled 15 using 1d20+3 with rolls of 12.  Familiar stealth

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

The guard atop the wall cups his hands around his mouth and shouts up at the nearby tower. "Reash, put down yer grog and look out yer window, ya filthy dog! Looks like there's some commotion on the river's edge!"

With a frustrated growl, the boar swings its tusks around at the bear grappling with it, raking its chest.


Mid round update! Map updated.

Gorm, Magdrak, and Durik are up now. Rowan can also post for his turn this round. (Technically, the boar's action comes after Gorm's).

Gorm needs to make a Con save (see below)

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Magdrak spends a long pause on his knees, looking at his hands and wondering how he failed.  Finally he shakes it off and rises, quickly charging after the creature that poisoned him.  At the last moment remembering the words in his head, he casts an empowerment spell on his weapon and swings it at the wereboar.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Having successfully grappled the boar in its paws the larger bear drags the thing back in the direction of the land, slowly but surely bringing it closer to those armed with magic and weapons able to hurt the thing, the small scratch from its tusks is effectively ignored.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Makari came back to his own senses and blinked a few times. Then he saw a boar fighting a bear and....stuff. He remembered the bear and boar both from earlier and thought the bear MIGHT not be a threat. He made a gesture, uttered an arcane phrase, and let loose two golden beams at the boar.

As almost an afterthought, he fired a beam of faint silver moonlight at Morg as well.

Then he moved back to the rope and started climbing back up.

Action: Eldritch Blasts. Hit AC 17 for 13 force damage, and AC 26 for 10 force damage.
Bonus Action: Healing Light on Morg for 6 points of healing.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Tana rose heigh enough that she was in no danger of the boar catching her, even if it leapt, settling to land gently on the roof of the tower in a place that none of the guards would have a clear line of sight of her.    Her right hand began to sizzle and smoke as she muttered a grim curse under her breath, the glowing red rune that had manifested before sending tendrils of burning light through the veins of her hand and forearm.  Two more sizzling bursts of energy streaked out with a high pitched whine to strike at the boar, slamming into its meaty flank.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Rowan, seeing there's no way to get around the guard marked as B2 without being seen, takes out one of his daggers. Cursing under his breath, he casts the spell catapult to launch it at the guard before ducking underwater, and swimming to hide behind the wall at AP-37 in hopes of reentering stealth.

01:44, Today: Secret Roll: Rowan Laren rolled 21 using 3d8+5 with rolls of 4,4,8.  Catapult.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

"Alarm! Alarm!" shouts echo from the arrow slits in the tower. Movement can be seen in the interior of the tower, though not too much is visible from the ground outside.

Blasts of magic crash into the boar from several directions, and the beast continues to thrash against the powerful bear's body, slashing its tusks as well as it can.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

The bear continues to behave in an oddly intelligent way and drags the slashing angry boar both farther away from the keep it clearly wants to be in, and up onto the riverbank where it is easier for the folks slinging bolts of magical energy to attack it.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Lights from inside the castle turret shines out intermittently as figures inside peer out.

Magdrak puts down the still struggling boar with two vicious slices. Its form slumps between the bear's massive paws. Abruptly its tusks shorten and disappear, its piglike snout forms into a crooked nose, and its torso and legs elongate. The scarred face of the motionless human now lying on the ground is contorted into a rictus of anger.




Map updated!

Tana, Rowan, Makari, Morg, and Gorm are up now. Magdrak and Durik can also post now and may change their posts after the boar and/or guards take their turns.

The grey skinned gnome was having trouble getting a clean shot, and though her arcane power sizzled and burned with its ferocity, the streaking bolts of energy found little but the dock at the sellsword's feet.

<Previous Round post>

Magdrak watches as the bear drags the boar away from him, and quickly follows after.  He attacks again with his now-magical weapon, hoping to finally put the creature down.  Muttering to himself, he swings twice in succession.  "The 'Fells... Blasted thing, what did you do to me?"

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

Makari peeked up over the wall a little and his eyes widened as he saw the amount of bandits quickly converging their general direction. He lowered himself out of sight a bit again and hissed towards the two dwarves. "guys! we have a lot of bandits coming this way! are we fighting or retreating??"

He peeked around the corner of the tower and fired two more blasts of energy at the boar, hoping to help finish it off so they could focus on either the bandits or fleeing.

OOC: No action this round as he is surveying the scene and waiting on responses from the dwarves before he opens up a can of whoop-ass.

Re: Day 10 - Leavetakings and Arrivals

"Argh!" cries the guard atop the wall as flames rise up around him. Backing away from them, he continues to cry out as he tamps down his smoking leather armor.

Visible to Tana atop the tower turret, three motley dressed figures charge out of the door below carrying strangely shaped shields and head for the nearby stairs leading up to the nearby castle wall. They join a pair of other castle guards on the wall, running from somewhere in the interior of the castle.

Gorm, Magdrak, and Durik are up now. Morg can also post this round.

Reavers double-move out of the tower to the stairs up the wall.

Other guards move towards the other castle walls.
