Rellin & Rose Rising [DMOOCH]

R1T22: Rose pivots her body on one foot, a strange energy beginning to cover her fist, she holds out her hand to wave the brute towards her, as if beckoning him to attack.

R1T12: The half-orc calls over, "I saves my dessert for last, girly-girl!"

He trundles forward to Caedmon and goes to swat the man's sword out of his hands ...

Caedmon, you have Combat Reflexes, and he does not have Improved Disarm ..... you get an AOO against him. This cannot be a "martial maneuver" (I don't allow them on AOO), but it may be a normal attack or (normal) combat maneuver. What do you do?

R1T12: Caedmon uses his extensive training and intelligence to try and throw his foe off-kilter before he can grasp the sword. First turning the blade flat to the half-orc's right ear, but Caedmon fumbles and the half-orc slams the hilt out of the man's hand ... but not before the point goes up as the pommel goes down and gives just the faintest slice to Caedmon's hand for 1 bleed.

R1T11: Rellin, you are 10' from the half-orc (and behind your sister and this other man). Do you do anything?

Caedmon, you are on deck. Actually, your sword is on the deck, but you go after Rellin. The fumble made just a pinprick to your sword hand, and yet it is bleeding steadily for all that ...

[lostsole31]

R1T11: Rellin sighs as he watches the fight before him. So far nobody had really done anything, and all the talk about him going down seemed to have been for naught. He decides to make it just a little easier on his sister and the stranger, and holds up his free hand, summoning up his magic, the ring he wears begins to glow bright, and the Half-Orc begins to glow light blue.

R1T9: To Caedmon's amazement, the man behind him uses a rare ability, rare indeed ... for it is one he shares, and that is the alteration of the flow of time around somebody to slow them. Seems the berobed man, amazingly, is a sphere-caster like himself, and also with powers over time. But Caedmon doesn't have too much time to think about this, as his usual face of stern kindness has become twisted and angry even as he takes another 1 bleed. His lips part for the grinding of his teeth, and his stature becomes only slightly hunched from pure rage. He bends to lift his sword back into hand, but the half-orc kicks his hand with his great strength for 6 NL (6 nonlethal damage). Caedmon is undeterred and retrieves his blade, and then unleashes an unholy slice upon the half-orc, but as his sword falls the half-orc flatly blocks it with his forearm and the blade is thrust aside as if by some unseen source. This doesn't mean he isn't a little surprised by what was obviously a strike meant with deadlier intent. He shouts something in a foul language ... but Rose knows the half-orc is not speaking Orc.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T22: Rose, Rellin is pouring the time-crawl on the half-orc. He is 10' away, but he came at Caedmon at an offset angle so if you want to engage him in melee you would have to go 15'. This man just changed the nature of the game by escalating this combat outside of the province of "bar fight" and into deadlier fare. What do you do?

R2T22: Rose looks over at Rellin, who sighs softly. "Make sure he doesn't die. Please."

With Rellin's approval, Rose circles around to flank the drunk with Caedmon, spin-kicking the drunk in the side, her foot turning to ice as it connects, she hopes to hit hard enough to knock the man out, and doing 2 NL and 5 NL cold helps, but he doesn't go down.

R2T20: "CAEDMON!" calls Acting Sheriff Nightrom. "Drop your weapon, withdraw directly to me, and stay put. We'll take care of that wound."

R2T18: The elven woman shouts back at the half-orc in the same, debased-sounding language.

R2T12: The half-orc nods his head takes a five-foot step back from Caedmon, but is still adjacent to Rose. His fists are up in a boxer's stance.

R2T11: Rellin, I am going to assume that you are concentrating on your slow effect.

R2T9: Caedmon, it takes a little bit of willpower, but you realize that while the sheriff is quite persuasive in her own right, there was some type of charm-carrier in her voice. You throw it off, and it's up to you whether you follow her instructions or not, but you suffer yet another 1 bleed from the wound on your damn hand. What do you do? The half-orc is now just out of reach (10').

R2T11: While focusing on the Drunkard with one hand, Rellin holds up the other one, his sleeve sliding up to reveal his semi-real gauntlet, and with a quick gesture, a multicolored beam of light shoots from the symbols on the gauntlet, aimed at the Half-Orc. As he does so, he smiles. A smile which quickly fades as he misses.

R2T9: Caedmon moves his sword into the ground, attempting to fix his busted open hand by himself. He appreciates the woman's offer, but he can solve his problems himself. Or, at least he thinks he can ... though he fails to attend to his hand properly this time.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T22: After the Drunkard backs off of Caedmon, Rose turns on him and launches another powerful punch into his side, but he is faster and ready for the attack and he grabs her and gets her into a powerful grapple for 7 NL and her own hit never lands.

R3T20: Celiss, you're not sure what that gauntlet is, but you did see very deadly energy of three different types come shooting off of it. It misses, and only barely stops short of the crowd on the other side as it sizzles and rumbles and pops near their feet. Do you do anything?

R3T20: Ahhhh, crap. Celiss casts a spell and the air shimmers all around her briefly before going still again. "Everybody, clear out!" she shouts.

She draws her rapier and steps up to the robed man, threatening him. "Robed man, you will cease and desist all activities, drop all magics, and surrender to me, Sheriff Nightrom of Sandpoint!"

R3T18: "Caedmon?" calls the elf. "That's your name, right? Leave the sword, withdraw to me and the sheriff. I am acting Deputy Andosana. Don't make this any worse, son."

She stays where she is as people are definitely clearing the grounds now that deadly magic is flying around. She draws and readies a shot in Caedmon's direction.

R3T11: Rellin, you have no idea what spell is that the sheriff just cast, though momentarily it seems to have affected her. What do you do?

R3T11: "Miss. I cannot just drop my magic. That is my sister there, and I am merely backing her up. If I am not mistaken about what has upset you, I assure you that the attack I used was nothing more than a pinprick. With how my sister is fighting, he may end up injured, but there will be no life threatening injuries. However, if you wish me to stand down anyways. Please break up this fight, and I will submit to your authority." he grumbles softly, meanwhile holding out the hand with the gauntlet, pointed at the ground, as a gesture of peace. "Didn't even want to be part of this fight in the first place."

R3T9: Caedmon sheaths his blade, grumbling while his hand bleeds for 1. He maintains the hope of setting his hand's wound, and he is rewarded when the bleeding stops.

R1T22: Kurgol runs right in front of Shalelu to give the archer a bulwark and he seems to take a second of concentration.

R1T19: A dog comes tearing around the corner, but it's face has the same flat nose, beady eyes, and protruding teeth as a rat. With those same terrible incisor it bites into Kurgol's right foot for 9 (max).

R1T18: Rose, what do you do?You recognize the rat-dog as a goblin dog.

R1T18: Rose closes in on the chihauhua and gives it a spinning kick, her foot on fire during her turn as she clips it for 1 + 4 fire. With that maneuver, Rose feels her energy grow within her and she is struck with a bit of inspiration as the very arcane essence of fire roils under limbs.

R1T14: Caedmon marches right up behind Rose. Unfortunately, the traversable part of the path is only 10' wide, and since goblin dogs are directly in front of Kurgol and Rose (the front rank) and they haven't dropped anything, Caedmon can't attack right now. However, he readies himself to jump into an open spot as soon as one or the other drops one (though the young man hopes the one in front of Rose drops so he can be valiant).

R1T13: Whooping and yelling is heard from around the corner from several goblin voices. One comes around the corner and sees the strange event and shoots/ misses an arrow at Rellin.

R1T10: Shalelu moves up for better positioning, standing right next to Rellin, and she shoots an arrow into the chest of the first archer goblin for 11, disabling him.

R1T9: Celiss, what do you do? As with Celiss, you can't get through that front line to an enemy.

R1T9: Hearing the sounds of what might be a protracted battle with voices around the corner and an obvious alarm, Celiss pulls on the temporal strings surrounding herself and her companions to do the opposite of what Rellin is obviously doing to the goblin warrior. She casts her spell, and the world seems to slow around the heroes [except Rellin].

R1T8-4: The sounds of more yipping goblin dogs is heard.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T22-21: Kurgol takes out a special-looking type of handaxe and hits the goblin dog, dropping it. Caedmon leaps into the space of the fallen goblin dog, facing (from the side) the goblin dog that is facing Rose.

R2T18: Rose, you have a goblin dog right in front of you. Kurgol is to your right. Celiss is forward-right. There is a goblin archer behind the goblin dog; this archer is staggered by Rellin's time power. Your left is brambles and the like on the side of Thistletop (before the drop to the Gulf of Varisia). What do you do?

R2T15: Rellin shoots a look at Celiss, as if to question her input, while maintaining his focus on the enemy. He holds out his other hand at the hapless goblin and lets out a trio of shots towards it, determined to help the combat as much as possible. It just barely catches it, but it still wouinds the goblin for a total 7 mixed energy. Badly wounded, he is still the only enemy in view; sounds of a couple dogs around the corner.

R2T13: The same poor goblin ... staggered, wounded, tries to shoot at Rellin but then ends up entangling himself in his bow.

R2T10: The poor goblin in his bowstring does not pull on the heartstrings of Shalelu as she fires an arrow but her arrow goes waaaaayyyy overhead and out into the Gulf.

R3T18: Rose bursts around the corner, but with effective terrain only being 10' wide, she stops behind Celiss since two goblin dogs block Celiss and Caedmon.

R3T15: Rellin, not enjoying the incredible burst of speed from Celiss' haste, only has enough to get around the corner and behind Caedmon.

R3T10: Shalelu gets around the corner behind Rellin (putting him between Caedmon and Shalelu), and she looses an arrow to hit an archer in the right shoulder for 9.

Rellin touches Shalelu, mentally connects the two spaces, folding them in on themselves with an extremely controlled singularity, and the elf finds herself on the roof. A goblin-pitched "Bree Yark!" is heard from the guardtower to the right (which for this entire time had seemed quiet. But Shalelu, a career goblin-hunter, is readied for this tactic.

Surprise Round ...

With the alarm, on the guard tower to the left there is a chirp of alarm. Something glass shatters around the western side of the stockade (you are on the south side, toward the west).

S22: Shalelu knocks her bow and calls down. "Not a courtyard! It's a roof, though there's a courtyard further on."

S20-19: From the guard tower to the right appears the upper body of a goblin who throws a javelin which in turn is blocked by Shalelu's armor. Shalelu spins to that direction and fires her bow and hits the goblin for 11 (max). But this is a tougher goblin than the others, and even with that shot it doesn't go down.

S16: Another goblin from that same tower appears and throws a javelin at Shalelu.

End Surprise Round, Begin Round One ...

R1T23: Rellin, what do you do? You don't have a vantage to the western tower.

R1T23: Rellin moves over to Kurgol and places his hand on the mans shoulder, twisting space once more to send him up after Shalelu, allowing him to support her in the coming fight.

R1T22-20: Kurgol ducks an arrow from one side as a javelin goes wide of Shalelu from the one she wounded.

R1T19: Shalelu casts a spell on her quiver and goes to the base of the eastern tower.

R1T18: Rose, you have 1 animus. Flurry strike is your fixed-granted maneuver for this round. Animus and variety of maneuvers will increase with the rounds. You have a vantage on the eastern tower to two goblins with cover. What do you do?

R1T18: With her animus building, instead of taking a shot at a goblin with cover in a tower outside of preferred range, and knowing Kurgol will go up next, Rose calls upon the Mother to provide 10 healing (max) to Kurgol, one of her best ever efforts at healing, and enough to fully restore the half-orc.

R1T17: Caedmon, what do you do? Shalelu's report is that it's a roof, not an unsteady top of a gate.

R1T17: Caedmon stands by Rellin as a protector while everyone else is being warped. He yells up to the people on the roof. "Do you lot need me up there? Will I be any use?"

R1T16: Commando misses Shalelu.

R1T17: Kurgol leans his head over the stockade. "Good footing up here, so it couldn't hurt. Ain't goin' in from the gate anyway, unless you want to start bashin' it down." He then withdraws from sight. He activates force screen and heads to the base of the western tower.

R1T10: To keep Rellin free for the others, Celiss tries climbing the gate, but makes no progress and even falls on her bum (no damage, but prone).

R1T8: There's a second goblin in that eastern tower and it laughs and points at Celiss before shooting at her. Of course, while it looks like a easy target, the stupid goblin doesn't realize how difficult it is to hit a prone target with a ranged weapon.

R2T23: Rellin moves over to Caedmon and transports him up to the roof alongside the others.

R2T22: A goblin from the western tower slips just before shooting and he shoots himself in the neck, topples over the tower, and falls to the ground outside the stockade rather than just the inboard top of the stockade. Good job, heroes! You struck fear so deeply into your goblin enemy that they'd rather execute themselves.

R2T20: A goblin from the western tower nails the "new guy" that just appeared, but despite the force of the javelin, Caedmon's banded mail still protects him. [I am assuming Caedmon is using his shield.]

R2T19: Shalelu moves 10' towards the eastern tower to shoot at the remaining archer and wounds him severely for 9, but the little goblin warrior is not so weak as to fall quite yet.

R2T18: Rose, you still have visual to the lone archer that just got nailed by Shalelu. You have visual to the goblin that nerfed himself to, but there's no doubt from his broken body that he is D-E-D. What do you do?

R2T10: Celiss is brimming with anger, possibly at herself for trying to climb a gate when she is unskilled to do so. She seems to cast a spell and white, feathered wings appear.

Entirely bogus. You don't know the mechanic, but that was no spell. Celiss basically spoke gibberish and made silly motions as if she wasn't really trying to fool you.

R2T8: The eastern-tower goblin makes a poor throw of a javelin at Caedmon.
