OOC: OK well here goes. Step over Parms to get to D15, then swing at Malder.

And here I thought I was going to be pulling punches not power attacking... Hoping no insta-kill!

21:48, Today: Ayeesha rolled 23 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 15.  greatsword attack.
21:49, Today: Ayeesha rolled 17 using 2d6+7 with rolls of 5,5.  damage (no power attack).

Ayeesha surged up the stairs, stepping over one thug to get to the next. She paused only for an instant to shout, "Thanks!" to Kyra for the healing. Her shoulder still ached around the arrow, but she paid it no mind.

Done with nonlethality, she dropped her sap and drew her greatsword as she moved. She assaulted Malder with it. It didn't go well for the thug.

Round 5
Kyra uses magic to bind some of Ayeesha's wounds.

Figus barrels past Malder. Malder tries to take a stab at the drow as he passes but Figus is too quick and agile to be hit.

Ayeesha steps forward and cuts Malder nearly in half with a chop of her sword. The ex-guard falls dead at her feet.
OOC: Insta-kill. He did not have that much health left...

Verik drops his crossbow and brings his spear to bear. He gives it a flourishign twirl before using the haft to knock Figus' sap to one side before spinning the spear around and skewering the drow on the ornate head.
OOC: Figus takes 9 pts of piercing damage

Kraw moves up and smacks Verik on the side with his sap.

Kraw continues to try to bring Verik down, but his sap is deflected by Verik's helm.

Sap attack 16 on d20+5.  Miss.

Kyra moves in range and tries helping Malder with her spell, though with how nasty the cut he took looked, she is not expecting much from it.

Casting Stabilize on Malder, or what's left of him. Can't thing of anything useful to do, I have no healing spells remaining to help Figus, and trying to attack in this melee is completely futile. I really need to invest in some wands asap.

Figus almost doubles over when the spear pierces his side, but he does not want to give Verik the satisfaction of seeing him in pain and lashes with his sap across the man's face. Giving as good as he got. He then takes a step back and draws a healing potion.

"Hey, big guy," she smiled as she stepped forward over Malder, her sword in front of her. She swung for Verik, no longer trying to do non-lethal damage. The big guy could take a couple of hits, she wagered. But she narrowly missed.

---

Not sure why I rolled damage if he has a 19 AC... Would have been nice though!

Kraw, if he steps out to follow Figus we might be able to set up flanks. In the corner it's kind of hard unless we can reposition him.

09:00, Today: Ayeesha rolled 16 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 9.  attack Verik.
09:00, Today: Ayeesha rolled 19 using 2d6+7 with rolls of 6,6.  damage.

Kyra attempts to stabilize Malder but the dead guardsmen is beyond hope and stronger divine magics will be necessary to raise him.

Figus cracks Verik hard across the face with his sap but the sergeant stays standing and Figus backs up to prepare a healing potion.

Ayeesha steps up and slams her blade down but Verik expertly steps to the side letting the blade slide off his chainmail harmlessly and drive into the floor next to him. He grins an evil grin at her.

"You want to dance, giantess? Let's dance."

He spins around and stabs his spear deep into Ayeehsa's chest. The evil grin on his face widens as she drops to her knees.
OOC: Ayeesha takes a hit for 10 pts of piercing damage

"If you surrender now, I might let you and your friends live."

Kraw responds by trying to smack Verik on the head with his sap but the guardsmen parries the strike with his bloody spear.

Kraw switches the sap to his other hand and draws a kukri.  With the degger-like blade he tries to find an opening in Verik's armor,  but fails. He then steps 5' away (to the right), hoping the man is foolish enough to discount Ayeesha when she was wobbly like that.

Kukri attack 10 onb d20+6.  Miss.

Figus downs a healing potion (6 pts) before throwing a the empty vial to the ground and pulling out a scimitar and a mace.

"Right, no more Mr. Nice Guy." He thought to himself.

Standard Action: Drink potion
Move Action    : Draw weapons

Today: Figus Dva rolled 6 using 1d8+1 with rolls of 5.  CLW potion.

"Oh let's, handsome," she stared down Verik as his spear nearly skewered her, not flinching. "Are you sure that's where you're supposed to stick that? I didn't feel anything. It's ok, I'm sure it happens to lots of guys."

She came back with a careful swing of her greatsword, putting her strength behind it, but not her full power.

---

OK, used up a destined strike (and apparently was forgetting masterwork or something on my last roll - my hit is +2 BAB, +5 21 strength - raging, +1 masterwork and this round +1 destined strike for +9, just to check)

16:48, Today: Ayeesha rolled 22 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 13.  destined strike, c'mon baby, no whammy!
16:50, Today: Ayeesha rolled 11 using 2d6+7 with rolls of 3,1.  greatsword damage.

"The only one going down is you. You are all alone now Verik." Kyra whispers menacingly from the shadows.

No chance of hitting him, so let's try to demoralize.
11:29, Today: Kyra rolled 15 using 1d20 with rolls of 15.  Intimidate.

Kyra's witchy gaze perturbs Verik enough to throw off his aim.

Figus drinsk a potion and then pulls out his weapons.

Ayeesha wades in and slashes Verik with her sword. His armor takes the brunt of it but he is still looking hurt.

Verik lashes out wiith his spear again but hits nothing but air.

Kraw wades in but misses.

Kraw moves 5' to block Verik's access to the outside window. As he does so, his weapons switch hands and he tries to land another blow with his sap. Despite Verik's weakened condition, Kraw's blow is so weak the weapon slips out of his claws.


01:48, Today: Kraw rolled 6 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 1.  sap attack . Fumble....again

Kyra cackles menacingly from the shadows at Verik.

Trying to demoralize again to extend duration.
15:40, Today: Kyra rolled 18 using 1d20 with rolls of 18.  Intimidate.

Figus moves in and swings wildly with his scimitar.

Standard Action: Attack scimitar
Move Action    : Move in to engage

10:08, Today: Figus Dva rolled 12 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 5.  Attack with scimitar.

Ayeesha swung again, using her destined strike to guide her sword.

---

15:48, Today: Ayeesha rolled 19 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 10.  destined strike again. Think I'm 1/3 now.
15:48, Today: Ayeesha rolled 15 using 2d6+7 with rolls of 4,4.  greatsword damage.

Ayeesha smashes Verik in the side of the head with the flat of her sword knocking him out cold. He is in bad shape with multiple cuts and probably a wicked concussion but he is at leas stable and unlikely to bleed out before they can get him back to the guard.

While tying up the guards they find the following items:

(from guards)
x4 sets of guard-issued chainmail
x4 sets of guard-issued longswords
x4 sets of guard-issued shields
x4 sets of guard-issued crossbows
x63 crossbow bolts
x95gp

(from Venik)
x1 Potion of CLW
x1 set of custom MW chainmail
x1 MW Spear
x1 MW Composite Longbow Str+2
x18 Arrows that detect faint magic

(from the room)
x1 Harrow Deck

OOC: Each player earns 400xp from the fight.

Figus finally lets out a deep breath "It could have been worse. For a while there, I thought we would have to kill him."

He takes the potion of CLW and hands it to Ayeesha

"If this fight was any indication, you will need this.

Do we check the rest of this place or are we done here?"

Coming down from her rage, she stuck her tongue out at Figus, but still happily took the potion. Perhaps an uncharacteristic gesture from a amazon warrior, somehow it fit.

"You'll probably want the arrows, if they're magic. If not I'll take them, but I'm sure you can put them to better use."

"The mission was to bring in Verik and his men, true. And," she cringed a little, "we almost managed to bring them all in alive. Sorry again that I got a little over-enthusiastic with that one guy."


She retrieved her sap and proceeded to pile everything she could up, wondering how she'd carry it all. She looked carefully at the harrow deck. Those things seemed to turn up everywhere for some reason.

"Since I think I'm the pack mule of the group," she explained how she was piling up the loot.

"Don't we have one of those from Zellara already?" she asked Kraw about the harrow deck

"Still it seems a shame to leave a perfectly good hideout unexplored. I know we need to get Verik back but perhaps we can spare a half an hour to search the place thoroughly? I know I'd kick myself if we missed something valuable by leaving too quickly."

"It's a long shot, but I agree, let's at least make an effort to search the place. Might be some clue on Verik's desertion around. It will be a while before he can answer any questions." After making sure Verik is not going to bleed out to death, Kyra starts looking around. She also takes a quick look at those arrows they found.

Detect magic on, searching the place. Wonder if I could just take 10 on Perception / Spellcraft? If no, here are the rolls:
08:26, Today: Kyra rolled 10 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 3.  Spellcraft.
08:26, Today: Kyra rolled 13 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 5.  Perception.

Kraw slaps manacles on all the unconscious prisoners before adding his own eyes to the search. He says "this being a meat market, I bet there is one or more wagons in storage. I say we pile the prisoners in one, the loot in another, and haul it all back. Armor or weapons won't help me, except maybe the spear."

Gigus shrugs at the suggestion that he take the arrows. "Its no big deal. I can use them, but not any more or better than you. We can split them. The bow is better than what I got, but not right either. Let's worry about it later. I would like the spear, at least for now. We can figure out permanent distribution later.

Ayeesha downed the healing potion and was looking for more.

"I could use another if anyone wants to spare. We should decide how we're handling our plunder eventually, whether it's every woman for herself or we have a group fund and quartermaster. For now I'd appreciate any healing anyone can spare."

"We should really look to get a wand as well. I'd be happy to contribute to that, as I suspect I'll be the main beneficiary."

She moved to the door in the south wall and examined it, listening at it.

"Start here I guess."

---

Healed either 9 or 17 hps depending on whether anyone wants to share a potion of CLW or not. Listen at door perception check is 15.

09:17, Today: Ayeesha rolled 9 using 1d8+1 with rolls of 8.  CLW potion.
09:24, Today: Ayeesha rolled 8 using 1d8+1 with rolls of 7.  second clw potion if someone wants to contribute.
09:24, Today: Ayeesha rolled 15 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 10.  perception listen at door.

Kyra can give her potion if Ayeesha wants it.

Ayeesha doesn't hear anything coming from the other side of the door and pushing it open reveals a large office. A single large desk stands in the eastern part, transformed into a makeshift bed by a bedroll and several blankets and pillows. A table and three chairs sit to the west; several papers lie strewn over the table’s surface and a chamber pot sits under it. One of the papers is pinned to the tabletop by an exquisite silver dagger.
