[RA] Turn 18 - Carry on shall we

[Zed]

[OOC - I dont know, cant even playDS without being hassled Sorry all got a bit carried away and stopped this]

GRoup 1 - combat: initiative: Gilead (19), Siggi (17), Tieger (16), Helena (15), Ian(13), Fael (11), Ghouls (10), Valygar (5)

Group 2 - Initiative: Olomair (23), Nell (17), Merlyn (15), Caryllan (11)

Action:

Olomair moved forwards towards the light ahead then paused, dropping into the shadows he watched and studied the people ahead of him, looking for weakness or signs of alignment.

Gilead in group 1 rolls his eyes and unslings his burghoyf once more. Arcing around to flank one of the beasts as it closes with the party. He closed quickly and struck out at one of the beasts catching it off balance (flat footed!) the blow struck home hard causing the creature to stagger backwards alittle. It turned its attention towards the monk, blood dripping from its mouth and claws (7dam)

Nell pauses briefly. She incants softly with rhythmic cadence, her nimble brown fingers mirroring the sound and moving seamlessly and assured. Confident of a �shield�, Nell moves towards the area of disturbance readying herself to cast or counter magic missiles. Aware of others also rushing to aid in the fight she is quick to be out of their way and not to hamper the warriors, following in and ready to support. She stopped near the doorway, visible but perhaps easily overlooked, time would tell

Siggi yelled 'Kill the filthy nightgoers!!" as she charged th e creatures, axe and shield ready. The blow was wicked, and thunked into the closest ghouls stomach, lifting it off its feet a little. (6dam) however as she pulled the axe away it groaned and lurched at her "filthy beasts zey will not die!" she cried

Tieger turned, yelling as he did so "move swiftly my friends! I have the rear guard" He turned to face the passage we only moments ago passed down, holding staff at the ready. It was then he notced the little Nell and the other figures moving furtively in the deeper shadows, "WAre - Enemies behind" he yelled as he stepped back away from the direct line of the doorway

Helena Turned at the sound of the wizards voice, detect evil rolling out in an invisible wave from the Paladin, none f the newcomers were evil, <a good sign> she thought, but who were they? She gripped her sword ad shield ready for their attack...

Merlyn heard the shout from the man inside the room, human it sounded. GRabbing a dart the wizard paused, waiting to see what the warriors of his group would do ...

Ian paid no heed to the wizards cry and loosed two arrows at the closest ghoul. The first arrow went wide, missing the barbarianess head by centiemtres, the second struck the ghouls neck plunging through and out to the other side. The creature fell at Siggis feet ... "oi votch ver you are firing dem things" she cried as she turned to the remaining ghoul ..

Fael Swung his staff at the ghoul striking the creature hard it seemed to stagger forwards a moment and then fell towards the druid who nimbly dodged the creatures. Siggi's axe whistled downwards severing the creatures head.

A silence descended as the two groups squared off against each other...

"who are you?" called Caryllan at the same time as Helena demanded " Put uyp your weapons and move ito the light if you mean us no harm"

What do you do?

 

[Zeus]

Tieger gets a spell ready (magic missile), and crouches facing the new group "If i detect you trying to cast anything then one of you is going to die!" he shouts across to them, as the rest of his group ready themselves around him.

 

[Khaelan]

"From the looks of things our company are in the same situation as us, firstly they are alive, and secondly they are not rats or demons."

"I advice caution in any case m'lady, a cautious traveller is an alive traveller"

Fael checks to see if Huth is okay and then stands near the far wall leaning on my staff

 

[Cullhaven]

"HUH?"

 

[Emmon]

*Olomair stays hidden, but on the balls of his feet and his hands close to his chest, counting the number of visible beings, distinguishing them from those of the living and those of the dead*

[OOC]
Im wanting to stay at least 20 feet from the main activity... How many beasties are visible from where I am Zed?
[OOC]

 

[Zed]

No beasties but approx 5 humanoid people standing in a room ahead with weapons drawn and tense looks on their faces... well they would be tense if you could see anything but their silhouettes

 

[Requiel]

Gilead attempts to move into the shadows and as softly as possible pad around to the flank otf the other group (ooc - he has no stealth skills but a high dex and no armour or metal weapons). Sizing up the biggest of the warriors he picks the spot that will feel the full weight of his blow in anticipation of further combat.

(ooc- fully expecting to have to fight he's basically preparing his shot and as soon as they make the slightest hostile move he's going to drop on them hard and fast.)

 

[Potnoodle]

Caryllan grips his hammer tightly and prepares to take a few cautious steps forward into the light, hoping that if the being he faces are friendly, they will do the same, but before he steps he signals to the others to be ready to come to his aid, should he be set upon by the silouettes. Gripping his warhammer firmly ready to deflect or deliver a blow, he steps out.

[ooc, quite confusing but from what I gather we are both facing eachother, im guessing there are only 5 silouettes because some are in the shadows]

 

[Zed]

Yes:

GRoup 1 is currently in a partly lit room ahead of group 2. they have just dispatched the ghouls..

group 2 are now facing these in the corridor.


there is a door leading further into the complex in the room where Group 1 are currently located. This is opposite where the two groups are squared off..

Im looking for a RP situation where two groups become 1

 

[Zeus]

"I dont want to have to shoot you guys, but i will if i have to! Talk to me people!"

 

[Cl'nestra]

Nell

Nell assumes an unthreatening stance. Cautiously she steps forward, her small, empty, brown hands held away from her body. "I mean no harm; I'm just trying to get home." Her small high pitch voice is tense, but not wavering and tinged with a slight accent. "They call me Nell, to whom do I speak? Will you show yourself and talk a while?"

 

[Zed]

[ooc]

Okay - Still looking for a couple more responses then ill move things on. Probably tomorrow even (no make that a definate) with an assumption through description you all agree to explore together - group 2 have missing comrades to find after all and group 1 are glory seeking / going to destroy the temple of orcus..

So anyone not yet posted do so else game on tomorrow with further advancement into the temple ;-)

 

[Zeus]

Seeing they are human, and freindly looking, Tieger stands, cancelling his spell (i assume i can do that, and dont have to fire it....) as he does so. "My name is Tieger Wolfbane." He steps forwards into the light, "We are here to cleanse the temple below us of a great evil. Actually, thats not strictly true. she (tieger points to Helena) is here to cleanse the temple. I'm here because i'm low on cash right now. If you wish, and subject to a little preliminary testing, i am certain you can join us in our 'quest' if you wish to."

 

[Potnoodle]

Seeing who he faces is friendly, Caryllan lowers his hammer and a sly grin creaps accross his mouth and he says 'what kind of test were you thinking of?' whilst chuckling to himself quietly.

 

[Cuthrose]

"why don't you people step into the light so we may see you better"

 

[Khaelan]

"would seem we are all in this together, i believe we will find out how much we can trust each other soon enough and i have no doubt that we will be pleased"

"Huth that isnt food stop chewing it"

 

[Cl'nestra]

Nell

"Well, Tieger Wolfbane, I assume you make your living by accompanying those driven by a higher purpose; and as you exhibit skillful fingers [spellcraft] I assume your value is in the arts and not centred around the skills of the blacksmiths. I also make a passable living travelling with the skills of magic, gifted to me by Garl Glittergold." Nell profers forth a small brown hand. "Glad to make your acquaintance, fellow artist."

 

[Zeus]

"I guess thats one way of putting it. I generally just say i'm a merc. I lend my fire power where its needed, and where pays. Art never struck me as that useful - you'll never make much money that way - though i do have some small skill in it. I hope you can hold your own in a fight, for i'm certain this place wont be a walk in the park for us all.

 

[Cullhaven]

Siggni is standing with a foot planted firmly on the chest of the undead so that she can pull out her axe

" How we know these Nichtegenga not belong to this people? Dey might have the dweomer to make bones dance."

 

[Emmon]

*Olomair will start to feel very uncomfrtable about the fact that aswell as lots of people, the majority seeming to speak very forwardly and will will seem to be very "on edge" hoping to follow behind his party and stay close to them... preferably trying to avoid getting into a conversation with a "stranger"*
