Round one
(this is followed by round two)
Having just been threatened to be eaten,
Rosemary replies first, getting angrier and angrier as she continues.
"I almost died last night...I haven't had breakfast yet...AND I HAVE ANOTHER BUTT UGLY GUY TRYING TO KILL ME!"
Rosemary enters RAGE and Readies an action to rush up to the monster on
Karsh's turn.
Arya is repulsed by
Karsh's declaration of lust.
"Karsh, listen by Pelor's light. I am a priestess of the Sun God, and I offer you food and peace. Consider this: we are four. You are alone. Even if you managed to fell one or two of us, you would be grievously wounded, easy prey for bandits or beasts later on. Is friendship not a more advantageous outcome? Refuse, and you will face the wrath of the gods." Calling upon
Pelor, whose light is just beginning to illuminate the forest canopy overhead,
Arya casts
Bless on herself,
Manthis, and
Rosemary.
Manthis steps protectively in front of
Arya again, readying to retaliate when
Karsh attacks.
Jonel casts
Ray of Frost from hiding; the blood mingles with the spell and the scratch freezes shut. A pale beam of light like a shaft of moonlight spears out of the bushes and hits
Karsh.
Karsh takes 8 cold damage and his movement speed is reduced by 10' by the ice that forms on his legs.
[ +- ] Karsh is hit with Ray of Frost
is a creature of simple passions; thinking is the same as doing for him. Right now, he is desperately hungry for halfling. Even as
Arya continues to talk, he has stomped forward toward
Manthis and the ladies behind him. Irritated that his legs are moving so slowly (due to
Jonel's Ray of Frost),
Karsh flings his javelin at
Rosemary. He is surprised when the javelin doesn't pin her to the ground.
Rosemary takes 4 piercing damage (reduced by Rage from 9) and runs forward to meet
Karsh (Readied action to charge).
Finally, seeing that
Karsh's iced legs won't bring him close enough to hack,
Manthis pulls the whip from his side, letting it uncoil on the ground. Then with a flick of his arm,
Manthis sends the whip snapping forward to crack by
Karsh's left ear, making a loud noise that startles the brute somewhat but does no other damage.
[ +- ] Rosemary confronts Karsh
17 - Rosemary (8/13) Raging, Blessed
16 - Arya (10/10) Concentrating, Blessed
11 - Jonel (7/7)
10 - Manthis (11/11) Blessed
3 - Karsh (-8)
Armor'less Manthis boldly struts up to defending position before armor'less Arya with his favored great sword in an offensive angle. He quickly readies himself to mortal combat with the larger ugly creature should it use its impending attack. He says nothing but lets his weapon talk. He watches its every move.
