Chapter 1: Meeting the Cuckold Moose

Redcloak? Hardly! Have you ever known them to have a woman, or a non-human into their ranks? I was in the city, it all went black, and I woke up here when someone screamed. What in the Hells happened? Can one of you help me up? Zephyr says, as she rolls around on the ground a bit.

Skeinkaldr gives the barest of shrugs. "Dunno anything 'bout their hiring prac-tises," he says, guiding Ryunir into the chamber. "Anyway, you jus' wait there. I figure we gonna get some new playmates soon, what with all the ruckus."

Nov 24, 2016 5:48 pm

I could certainly wait here, but if one of you could help me up, I can help with any of those blackguards that decide to come to answer the ruckus. If I turn on you, you can fell me as well. She says, continuing to twitch around on the floor a bit.

The cool, unsettling cavern...

A cold breeze fills this large natural cavern, carrying with it the faint scent of decaying flesh. A crevasse divides the cavern and is flanked by several rough stone columns that support the twenty-foot-high ceiling. Two arched wooden bridges span the chasm. The Goliath wasn't wrong about the ruckus, the sound of movement was coming from the west side of the cavern. The sound of several footsteps echoed throughout the room. The small mouth at the south wall, was dark and unsettling. The smell was strongest from its direction.

Skeinkaldr sighs, casting a disdainful look at the genasi on the floor. "Someone kill that Red Cloak traitor already."

Malethor looks down at the genasi. The past few days the revenant has been pondering whether taking on this job has been a waste of his time, an unwelcome distraction from the path he has set for himself. 10 years to walk the world is not long given the task before him. But to erase a God's touch from the world and then to slay him - that is ni mean feat. Malethor must grow in strength and gather allies. The revenant looks around him, at this uncertain alliance. Now they are five. He offers the genasi his hand.

Nov 24, 2016 7:46 pm

Zephyr lets a small smile show as she reaches up her bound arms and clasps the revenant's hand, using the support to pull herself to her feet.

My thanks, sir. I almost have these bindings loose. Another moment and I'll have my hands free to assist you all. She says as she moves her wrists and slips her hands free of the bonds.

The ghastly apparition that is Malethor's face stares back impassively at the genasi. "Make ready. Foes approach. Have you weapons?"

Three established thugs approach from the west hallway, two with shortbows in their hands. One of the archers had a crisp hawk feather tucked in his headband. The third Redbrand was a large man, crazy-eyed and charging across the most north bridge with a pair of hatchets in hand. "Graagh! Y'all 'bout to get it!" He seemed to be ignorant to the party's appearance, and the foul smell lurking the chasm.

I'm enjoying the roleplay by everyone, quite entertaining. Everyone add an Inspiration point to their character. Initiative order stays the same for this encounter. Rolling the Redbrands now.

Initiative order:
1- Ryunir
2- Redbrand Brute
3- Xhava
4- Redbrand Archers
5- Zephyr
6- Skein
7- Malethor

Redbrand - 1,2,3 - (1d20+2, 1d20+2, 1d20+2)

1d20+2 : (10) + 2 = 12

1d20+2 : (14) + 2 = 16

1d20+2 : (9) + 2 = 11

As Ryunir regains more of his senses, he starts to wiggle in the goliaths grasp, visually worried about being on the front lines. "You know, I don't do so well up close I work much better from a distance." Ryunir shakes his hood off, revealing his face "If I betray you guys, you've seen my face, Im not easily mistaken for other people. Look at the body then look around, who else in your group has arrows? Like I said I don't miss, I wasn't aiming at you."

Nov 24, 2016 11:02 pm

OOC:

HypCo, you can actually make your first action here. You have the highest initiative and I believe that Skeinkaldr basically was like "lets feed him to the wolves." Time to prove yourself, round 2!

Ryunir glares at the Redbrand on the other side of the bridge and in a little more than a whisper "You are the lucky one to be my prey." He draws back his bowstring and releases. He turns to the goliath and in a calm voice says "I'm not the enemy." before running towards behind the cart.

OOC:

I'm aiming for, what I'm guessing would be considered the middle redbrand. I'm not sure if 30 ft is enough to make it behind the cart but that is where I'm trying to get.
Note to self: Two arrows, one spell slot.

The Redbrand's leg was pierced with the expertly guided arrow. He yelled out in pain, though willed himself to keep his bow aimed. "I've killed bears bigger than you, sugar thighs!" The barbaric thug charged and threw his two hatchets at the Goliath.

Lets say each square is 5ft.

I roll my eyes. Whoever these interlopers are, we can deal with them later. Death comes to all eventually. For now, I focus on the obvious "threats". I take a few steps toward the chaos, keeping behind my Goliath friend.

OOC:

Aiming for the archers. If they are still within 5 feet of one another, the spell will affect both.

The deathly grasp of Xhava's chilling skeletal familiar drags the crippled Redbrand down into the chasm. His scream was abruptly interrupted by a rock cracking his skull wide open.

Disappointed that I won't be able to stare at the dead man's broken face, I nevertheless dedicate his painful demise to my glorious patron. I also take a moment to wipe some more dried blood off my face from the previous human that exploded within a few feet of me. At least I will have those bits to serve as a reminder of the carnage of these past few days. I have never felt more alive!

The charging Redbrand's axes landed just short of the Goliath's feet. The remaining archer quickly pulled back an arrow and fired it at the easy target; Skeinkaldr. Determined not to have the scarlet brute fall, he quickly fired a second arrow in the dragonborn's direction, but pulled to hard and snapped his bowstring. A shocked look overwhelmed his face.

Are they aware of me or would I be hidden from (read: have advantage on the attack against the redbrands?

If you aren't hidden, one is in melee with Skein for you sneak attack.
