Rellin & Rose Rising [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

R2T10: Martin looks up as the sounds of fighting and shouting begins. "I was only joking about them shouting for trouble" he mutters and as he bounds up the stairs and barrels into the reception area knuckles raised and ready for trouble! Unfortunately, there is no trouble in this room, and Martin hears the sounds of trouble on the other side of the door to the south.

R2T8: Norton feels that comforting, high-speed rabbit-foot-thump from the familiar satchel that tells him that Destroyer McGee, Berserker Bloodhare of the Hinterlands is ready for action!

End Round 2: Dr. Habe unlocks and then opens the door, facing Martin as he does so. He calls out, "No weapons! Please! He doesn't know what he's doing!"

Begin Round 3 ...

R3T13: Zada rushed inside, following the sound of commotion. As she moves, she does see a guy being wrestled (she thinks by Draegra, but that is harder to see). It is a wild man but at this distance not to be mistaken for anything beyond a habitant of an asylum. Still, she cautiously brings forth a blade of pure psionic force, electricity crackling up and down its length.

Dr. Habe screams when he sees the psychic sword in Zada's hand.

R3T12: Draegra expertly pins Grayst. "Quick, tie him up!"

R3T10: Martin skids to a halt then glances around the man in front of him, "Let me past you fool" he snarls and pushes roughly past heading south towards the sounds of struggle and Draegra's voice. "Shout out if you need help, we are a-coming!" Plunging forward he makes his best speed towards the struggle, getting there at the end of his hustle.

Doctor Habe shrieks in terror and leaves the large room. Norton sees him cross the reception room and unlock (not open) the door to the north.

The orderlies are too freaked out by the deal with Grayst and all of these people jumping on their charge and one of them with a glowing sword to help.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T15: Alvor very nearly curses aloud at the orderlies for their inaction, but recognizing how strange the last few minutes have been, he merely growls in frustration instead.
"All I've got is damned string!" He reaches for the bag on his back as the others draw near. "Tell me one of you has rope!"

"I've got some!" exclaims Zada (who has yet to take her action).

R4T14: Steingott drops Alvor's shield where he stands. Noticing the skirmish and knowing there was a non-lethal battle going on, he puts up his dukes and rushes around the corner. He pops Grayst right in the jaw for a resounding 11 as bones crack, but this man's deadened nerve-pain centers must protect him because it looks like it definitely hurt him ... but doesn't slow his wrath at being pinned.

R4T13: Zada dissipates their mindblade and retrieves the rope from their pack, and steps a few feet closer, tossing the rope toward Alvor.

R4T12: Draegra puts the squeeze on Grayst while continuing to pin him, doing 4 NL.

R4T10: Martin pauses, "What is wrong with this one?! He looks past Pharasma's gate, already!" Plunging into the flailing mess, he ducks and weaves while standing beside the others and lashes out with a crushing blow to subdue the madman that does 15 NL.

End of Round Four: Norton sees Dr. Habe open the door, step north into that room, and then shut the door.

Begin Round 5 ...

R5T20: Grayst, with a greater reserve of strength and desperation, throws off Draegra and is no longer either pinned or grappled! He then steps out of the mix of melee-ists surrounding him.

R5T15: Alvor's frustration only grows as both Steingott and Martin attempt to beat Grayst senseless rather than simply hold him down. "We had him, damn it! He knows the killer, but can't talk if you break his jaw!"

Reaching down to grab the rope, Al shifts closer to Grayst while trying to catch Draegra's eye, hoping to signal his readiness to help him get hold of the madman once again. But to do so he has to be as open in the action to aid as in the action itself, and Grayst whallops Alvor in the stomach for 5.

R5T14: "So much for a quick and easy knockout!" Taking Al's words into consideration, Steingott turns and attempts to put the hold on Grayst. Despite the man seeming to be strong and a capable wrestler (though nothing like Draegra), Steingott just manages to put a hold on him!

A few minutes goes by, with one of the orderlies giving a short nod to Martin and Zada (who are still inside, waiting for Dr. Habe to return per his request). That orderly then goes to the door to the SW (the door SE heads upstairs) to run and errand.

A minute later, the other orderly comes downstairs and says, "Hey, if you care, the patient is sedated, and locked down with leather and metal. I don't know if the doc can heal someone like that, but he ain't getting out to do nobody any harm."

The other orderly finishes whatever errand was below and the two meet right by Martin and Zada. They talk about something related to resetting shifts. Right in front of Zada and Martin, it seems off. Zada notices that someting is off, but Martin, who is more about watching an environment more than the people in it, is oblivious.

Surprise Round ...

S16: "Red" orderly does a throat punch to Martin, totally surprising him and doing 11 (real, by the way).

R1T20: Norton will step inside the room after Steingott and survey the situation. After a moment, he decides to step to the side and observe, not yet willing to draw his weapon and go in for a kill against these men.

R1T18: Coming from the southwest comes a creature (Brown) in patient's clothing, but the body that wears it is putrid and rotting. It awkwardly gaits up to Martin. "Uhhhhhhhh," it says in a dry, forced vocalization.

R1T17: Granite squeaks, telling Zada that he is prepared for danger.

R1T8: Seeing Steingott rush back inside and Norton follow suit, Al turns a puzzled glance towards Draegra -- "The hells is he talking about?" -- before hurrying inside himself. Once and if the growing clash comes into view and he sees orderlies attacking Martin and Zada, his temper flares, and through gritted teeth he mutters, "That weaselly sh*t!"

R1T7: Zada takes a good hard look at the orderly and the patient before their stance changed into a much more defensive one, their mind blade extending into a spear as they stabbed it at the orderly that attacked Martin. The mind blade spear cuts across the orderly overcoat to reveal studded leather armor. Meanwhile, Zada doesn't have a good sense of analysis about her opponent.

R1T6-5: Another patient shambles up to Martin. The other orderly (blue) steps up to Zada but doesn't attack her. Instead, with Martin flanked he takes a cheap shot. Luckily, Martin's armor holds to protect him.

R1T4.5: Draegra runs into the room with the others.

R1T4: A raven flies in very close to Martin, who in turn punches it for 8. Still, the little raven is undeterred as it pecks at Martin. But it doesn't seem to hurt like a forceful peck. And yet, dark energy rolls off of its beak into Martin.

R1T3-1: Another two patients shamble into the room. Finally, a robed figure not in patient garb strolls in and up to the northern wall of the SE portion of the room. He casts a spell on himself. In addition, there is a strange, bleary-eye effect one has one trying to look at him.

R2T26: Martin ducked and grunted as the fist connected and as the raven pecked him he swung his head about, trying to clear the shadows from his eyes. The world vanished in darkness and he pauses, panic rising in his guts before he focuses, listening to the shuffle of feet and the breathing of those around trusting to his instincts to ward off blows, a shout of "I'm blind, help, the bird has done something to my eyes!"

To his credit, Martin punches what he's pretty sure is the raven for a solid 8.

R2T20: Norton was hesitant before. He didn't want to attack people with his weapon who were just crazy, but now he's sure it's not a problem. He focuses his energies towards his feet, and then lurches out in a surprising burst of speed, drawing his weapon as he approaches one of the remaining foes and thrusts his rapier into it. His rapier lands right at the low part of the side of his abdomen, right above the hip bone, for 11.

R2T18: Martin gets clipped in the side of the head for 5 (the others saw Brown smack him with a fist).

R2T16: Red orderly does some distracting noises with his footwork. Martin's senses lag just behind in tracking his assailant's intentions, and is paid for his lack of non-visual senses by getting punched in the chest for 13. It was a damn cheap shot.

R2T9: Then the much larger bat-like creature rushes past Norton's warding rapier to attack him, but Norton pulls his rapier back from reach to deflect just in time.

R2T8: Alvor takes measure of the numerous threats advancing from the far end of the room, trying not to be distracted by the fact that Steingott just pulled a block of stone from nowhere, or that Norton just rushed past him with inhuman speed.

Recognizing Martin's vulnerability, Al glances back at Draegra. "I think Martin's in trouble. Can you help him?" Draegra nods, and crosses to the other side of the room. As Al moves to meet the nearest threats, he calls out to the hunter, "Martin, back up if you need to. I'll try to keep 'em busy!"

Stepping into the gap between Zada and Norton, he thrusts his three-pointed spear towards the armored orderly, hitting him deep in his right upper leg (9), creating an opening for Zada to do the same. Zada stabs him in the lower right arm as he falls (6). Even after the strike, his spear remains in motion, a persistent obstacle to any opportunistic foe.

R2T7: Zada thrusts their mind blade at the small bat; if it could blind people, it's best to take it out before it could get another of their allies. The thrust lands true for 7, but the bird still flies.

R2T6: Green swings at Martin, missing.

R2T4.5: Draegra comes up behind Martin. "Martin, it's Draegra. I'm going to move you. Don't resist." He doesn't move him far, just between him and Zada. But Martin does feel the table at his hip behind him.

R2T4: The raven withdraws to the man standing in the back.

R2T3-1: Purple patient stumbles forward, but moves so awkwardly he doesn't attack as well. Yellow likewise closes in the same jerky gait. Alvor stabs her in the neck, and yet she only takes 3 mod, as Al sees that her skin is toughened and that despite that resilience there is a terrible smell emanating from her. Zada likewise tries to stab her, but can't push their spear past the thick hide. She then stands over the fallen orderly the ordeal of getting there too much to allow her to attack. The robed man that the raven is now flying above doesn't seem to cast a spell, and yet, arcane sigils of light seem to appear and float around him for a second or two. Alvor feels some strange force act upon his mind, but he's confident he shrugged it off.

R3T20: Norton sees a great opportunity all of a sudden, and takes a deep breath, focusing on a spell, launching a burst of color directly in front of him to attempt to disable almost the entirety of the enemy group at once. The cone of kaleidoscopic colors washes over the big bat, all of the patients, but also Draegra. The big bat-like creature seems to be flying runny right now - affected, possibly, but it's hard to tell how. Amazingly, none of the patients seem affected. An annoyed (but unaffected) Draegra calls out, "Watch it, Norton!"

Norton takes a quick jab at the creature with his rapier to do 8 vs. the bat-like creature before stepping back a few feet to put a little bit of distance between him and his foes.

R3T18: Patient Brown shambles forward. Zada stabs them in the left lower arm for 8 mod .... it should be more, but the patient's skin seems unusually resistant to weapons! Alvor likewise stabs them in the right upper arm for 4 mod, with Alvor sensing the resistance as well. The patient, who looks like death not-warmed over, gets to Al and Norton, but its strange gait keeps it from having anything left with which to attack.

R3T9: The big bat-thing flaps about and lands erratically. In doing so it provokes from Zada and Martin, but they both miss.

R3T8: With the large bat seemingly compromised by Norton's spell, Al focuses his attention on the shambling form to his right, hoping to begin clearing a path to the spellcaster harrying the party from the far side of the room. Having taken notice of the patients' resilience against the sharp end of his spear, he bashes the decaying man with his shield right in the nose, breaking it and likewise caving in the right cheekbone for 6 mod. Either the man is too stupid to notice the pain, or the pain is a sense-sharpener, but the staggered man does not seem to be taken off-balance as well. Alvor then adjusts his footing, prodding with his spear more aggressively now in order to hinder the movement of his foes.

R3T7: Zada attacks the nearest patient for 5 mod before taking a step back, their mindblade returning to its ranged form as they try to assess the situation.

R3T6: Patient green shambles north to attack Draegra, its fist slamming hard against Draegra's fine quality scale mail. It is likely the impact would have been effective if the patient didn't lose momentum attacking around a corner.

R3T4.5: Draegra takes a good look at Patient Purple,and then shouts something in a language nobody understands. He then speaks that same unknown language right next to Martin. Martin doesn't know what it means, but he guesses it's meant to be calming .... or warning.

Draegra then steps back and chants in another unknown language, his left hand glowing as he touches Martin for 8 healing.

R3T4-1: The raven flies a little lower, and then forward some. Purple patient swings so wildly that it seems to move around in its square, confused (and not threatening)! Patient Yellow, on the other hand, slams Martin in the gut for 6. The caster in back moves up to where his raven is, casts a spell, and an arrow appears and shoots towards Martin. The arrow hits Martin in the stomach as a follow-up to where he was just punched. It doesn't hit with an impact, but a sizzle, as it does 3 acid.
