Council of Thieves [Bastards of Erebus] (IC)

[meemaas]

Tia will delay....feeling useless but hesitant to charge back in.

[lostsole31]

R11T14: Tia delays, feeling useless, but not wanting to charge back in ...

R11T13: Kavina, your armor is now "donned hastily," and it would take another 5 rounds to be able to fully don it properly. Do you continue to use inspire courage? Do you continue to put your armor on?

Aldo on deck ....

[Blackhawk101]

“Tia, grab a crossbow and fight!”shouts Kavina. She picks up her crossbow that she dropped at her feet. She makes a series of quick hand gestures and several shadowy clones pop into existence around her.

Continue inspire courage.
MA:pick up loaded crossbow that she brought to this spot.
SA: cast shadow clone , 1ki.

R11T13: “Tia, grab a crossbow and fight!”shouts Kavina while continuing her. She picks up her crossbow that she dropped at her feet. She makes a series of quick hand gestures and two shadowy clones seem to extrude from her own shadow and meld into and without her.

R11T12: Aldo, what do you do?

Dusha on deck, Purple tiefling in the hole ...

[lostsole31]

R11T12: Aldo, surrounded by friendlies for now and feeling he is not likely to get targeted in the next few seconds, releases one of his mindblades, takes out a healing potion, and downs it for 6.

R11T8: Dusha, your animate rope spell ends, but your dancing strings/prehensile hair is still operative. Your readied action from before never triggered. What do you do?

Purple tiefling on deck? Erasmus in the hole ....

[pfm1995]

Dusha peers around the corner, not willing to step any farther forwards while there're men with crossbows aiming down the corridor. Around her, her various strips of cloth wave about like a nest of snakes.

Standard: Readying an action to grapple any of the bastards that come within range.

R11T7: Purple tiefling gives up his position in trying to shoot Meijen. He reloads.

End Round 11, Begin Round 12 ...

R12T24: Erasmus maintains his position and total defense.

R12T19.5: Flycatcher, what do you do?

Lead tiefling on deck, Dravano the Digger in the hole ...

[SwordChucks]

The Flycatcher plugs on and tries to gut Dravano before he can do the same.

Spoiler: Combat

Show

Standard action: Attack Dravano with the rapier.

In case of a Fort or Will save that qualifies: Use Unbreakable Gambit.

Rapier: (1d20+10)[22], (1d4+5)[7]+(1d6)[4]

[lostsole31]

R12T19.5: The Flycatcher plugs on and tries to gut Dravano before he can do the same. He doesn't gut him, but he does manage to zip his blade into Dravano's right hand for 12.

R12T19: The lead tiefling is just barely visible around the corner to Flycatcher as he moves up with a wand to tap Dravano for 5 healing.

R12T18: Dravano, though still bearing some sign of the wound just given him by his favorite prey, smiles at Flycatcher. "We have healers, too."

He then goes full force at Flycatcher. Despite the power he throws into his strikes, his first attack seems no less accurate .... though both strike. The first claw cuts to Flycatcher's lung for 11, and the second "grazes" Flycatcher's left shin for 7.

R12T17: Meijen calls out for his friends to hear, "I just opened a door to stairs going up. I will lead some with me on a fighting withdrawal, or I will fight regroup with you when I can if they do not follow!"

R12T16: Pink looks to follow, even stepping forth, but the lead tiefling hisses, "Don't mind him if he leaves." She still does step into the alcove to stab at Meijen.

R12T13: Kavina, your armor is "donned hastily." Do you continue to don it to cinch it properly? Do you continue to inspire courage? What do you do?

Aldo on deck, Dusha in the hole, Tia delaying...

[Blackhawk101]

“We are in a bad spot here. Pull back!”

Ready an action to attack a tiefling should they reveal themselves with crossbow(only if not engaged in melee). Hold position. Keep up inspire courage.

[lostsole31]

R12T13: “We are in a bad spot here. Pull back!” Kavina calls while continuing her performance. She stops messing with her armor, takes out her crossbow, and aims downrange.

R12T12: Aldo, you currently have one light mindblade manifested. What do you do?

Dusha on deck, Purple in the hole ...

[digiman619]

Aldo nods and retreats, moving around the corner while getting ready to strike any tieflings that follow.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Move 15 foot west and ready an action to throw a mind blade that I get a clear shot against. I'll let you roll it when the time comes.

[lostsole31]

R12T12: Aldo nods and retreats, moving around the corner while getting ready to strike any tieflings that follow.

R12T9: The sound of a sword clattering on the ground, yellow appears from hiding (to Flycatcher only) and shoots into the alcove, but a snapping sound says it doesn't hit its mark.

R12T8: Dusha, your readied action didn't happen. What do you do?

Purple tiefling on deck, Erasmus in the hole, Tia delaying ...

[meemaas]

Tia sighs for a moment, and then draws upon her power to bring out her comrade and twin, making sure to summon her scythe to allow Via to have it too, and then sends Via up towards the fray, positioning herself closer to the fray, but not yet in it.

Standard action: Summon Via
Swift (or Move, I forget which) action: Summon Scythe

R12T8: Dusha, what do you do? Your readied action did not occur.

Purple on deck, Erasmus in the hole ...

[pfm1995]

Dusha takes another step back from the people with crossbows, glad that Meijin seems to finally be out of the way but still grumbling at the Flycatcher's unwillingness to pull back. If the halfling really felt that he could take all of them on at once then gods bless him, but with the darkness filling the hallway too many of them were just flatly useless in there.

R12T7: Purple tiefling pops out of hiding to shoot and dispel Via.

End Round 12, Begin Round 13 ...

R13T24: Erasmus steps back, still in total defense, but kind of with arms wide to protect the women folk .... somehow .... without a weapon.

R13T22: A sizzle of acid sound after spellcasting.

R13T19.5: Flycatcher, what do you do?

Leader-tiefling on deck, Dravano the Digger in the hole ...

[SwordChucks]

Satisfied that Meijen was clear of the thickest of the fighting and not willing to argue with him, the Flycatcher falls back to the others.

"I'm in rough shape." he gasps out to the suprise of precisely no one.

Spoiler: Combat

Full-round action: Withdraw to the west of Dusha.

[lostsole31]

R13T19.5: Satisfied that Meijen was clear of the thickest of the fighting and not willing to argue with him, the Flycatcher falls back to the others.

"I'm in rough shape." he gasps out to the surprise of precisely no one.

R13T19: A whistle is heard, and then someone saying something. Two wolf skeletons come bounding out of the darkness up to the party (but don't get in an attack) and the leader-tiefling himself appears out of the darkness, standing over fallen tieflings. He touches green tiefling with a wand for 8 healing.

R13T18.5-18.0: Dravano double moves past the wolf-skeletons to get next to Erasmus and Dusha, but doesn't attack this round. At the same time, Kavina shoots at him, missing, and then Aldo likewise misses in throwing a mindblade at him.

R13T17-12: Sounds of battle continue to the south.

R13T8.5: Tia, well Via didn't last long. What do you do now?

Dusha on deck, Purple in hole ...

[meemaas]

Tia sighs. She's clearly not going to be getting anywhere like this, but she's not in a position to strike at them. She draws upon her energy to claim one of the wolves as her target, and prepares herself to move in and strike one as soon as someone makes room.

R13T8: Dusha, your dancing strings/ prehensile hair ability ends. You are holding 10' of limp rope in your hands. What do you do?

Purple on deck, Erasmus in the hole ...

Dropping the rope, Dusha draws her dagger and, with a bit of will, sets her various strips of cloth to flying again.

The battle to the south continues...

End Round 13, Begin Round 14 ...

R14T24: Erasmus goes from total defense to fighting defensively and targets the enemy he knows he has a chance of actually hurting with a metal toothpick (short sword): Dravano. The Digger deflects the clumsy blows easily with his claws.

R14T20: Green tiefling stands and picks up her crossbow.

R14T19.5: Flycatcher, what do you do?

Wolf skeletons on deck and in the hole ...

[SwordChucks]

The Flycatcher moves to the east and directs the party on how to hold the line.

R14T18.3: Aldo, you do not currently have a mind blade manifested. What do you do?

Dravano on deck, Tia in the hole ...

Aldo once again is too far back to get a good line on the tieflings, so he summons his daggers, stakes a step back, and readies himself in case they come into melee range.

Not able to contribute from this far behind the others, Dusha takes another step back while exhorting her allies. "Keep backing up! That way the crossbows can't shoot us!"
