Bray's weapon slams into a kitchen counter as the cultist side steps Bray's swing. Before the cultist has a moment to gather himself, Lockley launches a lance if arcane energy into the cultist, burning into the man's armour.

Nov 7, 2015 5:40 pm

The Cultist in the centre of the home screams in surprise and rushes Grapthor, apparently only enraged at being covered in the mage's skull fragments.

He performs a furious attack routine, knocking aside the Dwarf's maul and stabbing into his armour.

( 5, 4, 5 ) Cultist hits hard, 5SP! Mighty Blow and Pierce Armour taken. Grapthor takes a whopping (15-2AV) 13 Damage!

Crashing into the dining room table and collapsing to the ground, the cultist Rothas knocked down struggles back to his feet. He attempts to retaliate at Rothas, cutting the elf, but doing little serious damage.

Rothas is hit for (7-4AV) 3 Damage.

The cultist in the kitchen tries feebly to stab at Bray, but misses badly, his head still reeling after taking the arcane lance to the chest.

Meanwhile, out in the alley, the recently lanced cultist rushes Jake, eager to drive off these meddlers. Jake's whirling staff isn't enough to parry the short sword however, and he finds purchase into the mage, drawing blood beneath Jake's tevinter clothing.

Jake is hit for 8 damage! *cough* Rock armour *cough cough*

Grapthor grunts when he takes the hit. He swats aside the cultist's weapon with his battle axe, than brings his mace about with a crushing blow to the temple.

Jake reels back from the stab struggling to keep his footing. He tries to scream but all that comes out is a bloody cough. He instinctively does his best to heal the wound as he pulls his magical energy to his wound. He has done this before, but never for something this major.

His wounds seal back up fully and he turns tail and runs away.

Trying to run back to the front of the residence to put some space between me and the cultist.

OOC: I thought it was a 1 minute cast time for Rock Armor. So I would rather not stand around casting a spell while being stabbed to death. :)

Grapthor swings hard at the cultist, aiming for his head. Due to a misjudged angle, or perhaps because of his Dwarven stature, the blow instead strikes the cultist hard in the chest, cracking ribs and knocking the wind from the cultist.

Big hit for max damage. Cultist is still standing.

Jake's magical energies knit up the recent stab wound, and while still mildly light headed from blood loss, he manages to back track to the front of the house.

Rothas laughs with delight as the battle joy takes over. How marvelous, to fight someone who can be knocked down and through furniture, and still come back for more!

Rothas gives him some more.

Rothas strikes hard, but the fury of battle keeps the cultist fighting despite the tremendous damage the elf's axe is dishing out.

"Bray is up!

Nov 8, 2015 5:54 pm

Eager to put an end to the cultists, I take another stab at the man whose vile work we interrupted.

Bray locks blades with the cultist and cuts him deep. He spins his blade attempting to wrest the blade from the cultist's hands.

... And tosses the cultist's weapon several yards away.

Lockley attempts to knock two of the cultists off balance, to protect his comrades, but also to keep the cultists from working together or fleeing. He centers his focus on a spot behind and between two of them, raises his fist in air, gathers his strength and then slashes his arm down, releasing his magic.

Mind Blast: Major action; circular blast of telekinetic force, 2 yd radius centered within 50 yards that can see, those caught in blast {C1 and C2} knocked prone and make a STRENGTH (MIGHT) test vs Spellpower {13} or cannot take a major action on next turn

Edit: 4SP. 3 points into Puissant Casting:Increase the Spellpower of your spell by 1 per stunt poing spent, to a maximum of 3. This makes Strength(Might) test vs 16.

The cultist in front of Rothas stands up, yet again, the fatigue of the battle showing behind his crazed eyes. He looks around for a way out, but finds only a wall of warriors between him and the door. In response he stabs out at Rothas again, hoping to get lucky. His wild thrust is successful and finds a gap in Rothas' defence and draws blood.

Hit for (11-4AV) 7 Damage!

The stunned cultist in front of Grapthor stands up and stumbles, looking around wide eyed trying to figure out where he is.

Bray's opponent, no worse for wear, but without his sword, pulls his dagger from his belt, and stabs at Bray, the secondary weapon catches Bray off guard, and the cultist stabs multiple times,driving the blade deep with his first swing drives it deep into the warrior's arm, testing his grip on his sword.

( 2, 2, 5 ) 5SP for the cultist. Lightning attack, disarm. Two hits! one for (10-4) 6 Damage, the second for 5. 11 Total. Bray make an opposed attack roll vs. roll below.

Outside the house, the cultist in the alley surprises Jake with his speed, catching up to the mage, and trying to finish the job he started previously. He hits the mage, stabbing surprisingly deep into the mage's soft armour.

Jake is hit for 9 damage.

Shocked again by the pain, but managing to keep his feet Jake pulls his magic in again. Willing his wounds to stitch. As his wounds seal again Jake rounds to the front of the house trying to call out, "Help! There's one chasing me!", a little embarrassed by having to sound so...incapable.

Taking advantage of the cultist's confusion, Grapthor swings his mace hard.

I bet that'll finish C1. If yes, then spending 4SP for Dual Strike (2nd target is C2)!
Otherwise, Seize the Initiative to go again vs C1.
Oh, and 1SP to Skirmish (unless C1 is still alive after potentially 2 hits, I'm heading out the door to help Jake)

Hearing young Jake's cry for assistance, Lockley steps out of the house and, when he can see the cultist that is chasing Jake, closes his fist around his minds eye image of the cultist, willing the forces to close in around him.
