"No!!" Before I realize what I'm doing, fire erupts from my hands in the direction of the Orc in front of us.

Ütés Arc

Mar 23, 2016 2:44 am

Wasting no time Ütés lets out a battle cry and charges in towards Gasher taking a two handed swing for the beast's neck. She'll then reverse the grip on her weapon and attempt to impale the ugly creature.

OOC:

Using an Action Surge for a second attack.

Aelar, enraged, rushes forward with Utes, stabbing at Gasher with his rapier. As he closes he yells out for his troupe-mate on the table and attempts to heal her with his magic.

OOC:

Casting Healing word as a 2nd level spell

Advantage came from inspiration, btw

Ramas Sepret

As the three of you enter in and spearhead Gasher, Ramas advances on the first of the goblins in the room. He draws his twin blades in route with a flourish and tries to dig them both into the lead goblin.

Xadira's scorching rays connect with the Orc scorching his face and arm, as well as heating the metal of his chain mail. His skin sizzles underneath. Before he can react Aelar and Ütés cleared the distance to Gasher, becoming a flurry of intertwining blades that slice at the Orc doing brutal damage. Aelar stops, calling out his healing word to the woman on the table. The woman he knows to be Talia, one of the twins of his troupe. The other hangs on the wall in front of her sister. His words seem to fall on deafened ears however. After a few tense moments, she does not rise.

Ramas, splitting from the rest hacks a goblin nearly in half as the creature falls to the ground in a bloody heap.

-- Enemy Turn --

One of the goblins, seeing they mean a fight jumps onto the table in the center of this room. He scrambles past the body on the table shouting, "Their own will kill them, then we can feast!". As it scrambles it picks up an object. Something small an almost impossible to make out in the action. He leaps from the table and lands clutching the chains of the woman on the wall. She screams in reaction and the goblin takes its action to shove something in the mouth of this woman on the wall. It looks almost as though he is pouring something into her mouth. Some black liquid. Some impossibly black liquid.

The other goblin alive swings at Ramas with its crude scimitar.

Gasher, now toe to toe with Utes swings his great axe with such speed and force she doesn't even notice the second strike coming as he brings it around twice.

OOC:

Gashers attacks do an extra d8 of damage if they hit, so if you are hit add that last roll onto the damage.

It's the hero turn again!

Ütés Arc

Mar 26, 2016 2:44 am

Awkwardly ducking out of the way of Gasher's blade on his initial swing Ütés is caught flatfooted when the axe comes around a second time. Her training kicks in and she does her best to parry the attack and although she manages to take a bit of the strength out of his swing the axe still slices deeply into her shoulder.

Doing her best to block out the searing pain, Ütés screams out her company's battle cry as she grips her sword tightly and takes aim for the big Orc's neck.

OOC:

Using her Parry Maneuver as a reaction to reduce some of the 24! points of damage coming here way. She'll roll a Superiority Die (1d8) and add her Dexterity Modifier and that will be the total damage reduction.

Going to add my Bardic Inspiration die to that attack roll just to make sure.

Her battle cry re-energizes her (Second Wind).

Holy hell, went from 28HP to 4 and back up to 24 all in six seconds - not bad. :-)

Noting that the fire seems to be effective against the Orc, I quickly release a bolt of fire in his direction. I then try to stay as far away from the unfriendly faces in the room as possible.

Utes, taking a deep wound, but managing to push her limits and continue her assault catches Gasher off guard and slices a deep gash into him. He will earn that moniker today.

Aelar seems to have been driven into a new rage and flies at Gasher with both of his blades, the Rapier digs a deep gash in his neck and shoulder, but the Orc is still standing when the second blade comes around, and he turns out of it's path. The dagger only catches open air.

Gasher's path away from the dagger also moved him out of the line of fire for Xadira's fireball that whizzes past and fizzles against the stone wall behind Gasher.

-- Enemy turn --

Gasher, reading the flow of this battle disengages, moving nimbly past both Utes and Aelar and stops in front of the woman on the wall who is now coughing and sputting as whatever she has ingested is working it's way through her system. He draws out a small brass key and unlocks her shackles, spilling her to the ground. He drops a dagger on the ground next to her and turns to the rest of you, "Hehe, the first kill was on me, but I'll let you do the honors with this one", he says as he rumbles out a deep mocking laugh.

The last Goblin who was standing by Alanna cackles and parrots the last of his bosses words, "Yeah, with this one!" He charges Aelar and attempts to slash at him with his sword.

Hero turn begins!

OOC:

There is only Gasher, the goblin, and now Alanna left. Gasher isn't looking so hot, but he still has some fight in him. Alanna, for this round is simple coughing and sputtering on the ground.

Ütés Arc

Mar 29, 2016 2:39 am

Having heard enough of the Orc's ramblings Ütés looks to finish him where he stands. Screaming out an elvish rhyme about Orcs being as dumb as they are ugly (you didn't think Risha would skip that when teaching her elvish, did ya?) she charges in on the wounded creature, sword swung low to her left, and unleashes as vicious an upward strike as she can manage.

Aelar spins away from the clumsy goblin's attack, then pivots back and rushes forward, blades flying at the goblin's torso.

Unsure of how to proceed (how is the Orc still standing?) I hurl acid at it.

OOC:

Choose one creature within range, or choose two creatures within range that are within 5 feet of each other. A target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 acid damage.

Mar 31, 2016 5:28 am

Utes lashes out with an upward strike at Gasher, unfortunately her movements were spotted by the one-eyed Orc and he stepped to the side, laughing coldly. Is this really who they sent to kill ME!, the orc says, spittle flying from his mouth as he shouts.

Aelar slashes at the goblin but the small creature is too nimble and dances around his blade, parroting his boss once again, Yeah, kill ME! Kill ME! His words are fulfilled almost as they are spoken as Ramas plants two swords firmly through the abdomen of the goblin. It only says a light HUMPH as it slumps over dead.

Xadira, shocked by the resilience of this orc slings a glob of acid at the creature, but he manages to duck it and roars laughter once again. Even your fairy couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!

-- Enemy Turn --

Gasher stares down Utes, his laughter subsiding at the futile strikes of the solider, and lashes out with his great axe, the strikes both lightening quick. After the axe stops swinging he sees his other goblin soldier goes down in a heap. Gasher growls and makes a line for the door, which Utes sees as an opening for attack.

OOC:

Gasher attacks Utes twice and then tries to move to the door to escape. Utes gets an attack of opportunity which, if it hits, will stop his movement and prevent him from getting there.

In the chaos the form of Alanna stands, no longer coughing. Her voice his husky and her blonde hair obscures her face. She says, Aelar, they killed her. They killed her AELAR! She is dead because you weren't there for us! You failed to save her! You let us down! You. Let. Us. DOWN!, she flicks her head up, screaming the last words and you see her eyes are just black orbs. Veins have started to crawl across the sides of her face, obsidian black. She has grabbed the dagger, clutching it tightly in her hands, staring at Aelar.

OOC:

She has used her turn to stand up and talk. She stands maybe only 5 feet from Gasher and Utes, and maybe 15 from Aelar and Ramas, I think Xadira is probably at a range of 20 feet, slinging spells.

HERO TURN!

Aelar Galanodel

Mar 31, 2016 6:05 pm

Aelar winces as her words wash over him and tears pour forth from his eyes. He frantically thinks of anything that could help keep Alanna alive in this situation. Suddenly he drops his dagger and waves his hands. A spell comes over Alanna, trying to make her sleep.

"I'll be there as soon as I can!" he yells to Utes as he waits to see if his spell worked.

OOC:

Casting sleep as a 2nd level spell!

I know it has a 20 foot radius, so I'm casting it in such an area that it won't extend out to Utes.

Really hoping Alanna doesn't have many Hit Points!

Also granting Bardic Inspiration (d6) to Utes as a Bonus Action:
Bonus action to give ally within 60 feet an Inspiration Die, may user to add to any attack roll, save, ability check, weapon damage roll, or (as a reaction) add it to AC against an enemy's attack within 10 minutes. Cha mod per long rest.
