Chapter 1: The Imposter
You are all members of the King’s Guard. You’ve been assigned to squad Alpha. Your direct superior is Lieutenant Miles Cornish, human. Your responsibility is guarding King Redmane. Today is the Festival of the Hunt, this is a festival held every year, celebrating the massive amount of wildlife that needs to be hunted to fend off the upcoming winters. It opens with a speech from the King, followed by the running of the boars. From there it is a week long festival where at the end of the week, the hunter with the most weight in meat wins a prize.

You’re all on stage, along with squad Bravo, as the King is giving his speech. The crowd is varied and quiet, listening to the King. Suddenly there is a loud bang on the opposite side of the town that shakes the whole town. What do you do?

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
Nicolas draws his mace and shield and walks next to the King, setting himself ready to shield the King if needed.
"Careful your majesty, stay behind us" he shouts hastily, he then tries to figure out where or what was the loud bang

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
Zadok snaps his fingers summoning the attentions of his retainers as the sound of the bang reached his ears. Almost immediately two of them flanked them, one holding his shield which he took with his left hand and the other holding his battle axe which he took with his right. "Get the King to safety." he commanded before heading in the direction of the bang.

Wendel takes up guard next to Nicolas, "Zadok, do not run off without the rest of us. My lord, Wendel addresses the King, "Perhaps Bravo team should escort you somewhere more secure while we investigate this disturbance."

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
  I was bored from the very beginning of this assignment. Standing still, not talking and not participating in festivities? Let me revise the "boring" part. It was torture! I lost count how many times I've cursed at my father's decision to send me to be a guard. Well, I suppose that it's better than to enlist into army. That was my second option. So yes, I was very not happy there. Until the moment an explosion was heard...
OOC:
I'm trying to determine how far was the explosion from our current position and, if possible, where it occured exactly.

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
As you all take you positions, Lyss and the King notice smoke rising in the distance. The King shoved past you and jumps off of the stage, pushing through the civilians that are scrambling every where. Suddenly, at the far end of the marketplace, an gnoll seems to have come from nowhere. Looking around you also notice 8 people with black masks on that seem to be moving towards the King, weapons drawn.

Miles yells out. Guards, weapons!
OOC:
Roll initiative.

Here’s the scene. You 5, along with Miles and the 5 members of Bravo are on stage. The king is off stage about 10’ away. 100’ away is an gnoll and a person in a black mask. 2 people with black masks are on either side of the crowd between 2 buildings. Dispersed in the crowd are the 5 others in masks.

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
The black masked guards push their way through the crowd, towards the King. With all the civilians in the way, only 2 manage to reach him. The swing with their swords.

At the same time, the Wizard moves his hands and 3 magical bolts launch from nowhere at the king.

Miles jumps off of the stage and rushes forwards, striking at the nearest black masked guard.

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
The arrow misses and sticks in the ground behind the black mask.

The King, feeling weak, swings wildly at the first Black Mask and then in an action surge, swings at the other.

Bravo team jumps off of the stage but can’t make their way through the townspeople to hit anyone.

The gnoll moves forward 40’ and throws a javelin at the king.

The second Masked Rogue moves through the crowd and attack Miles from behind.

King kills 2. Gnoll’s javelin sticks in the King’s shoulder. Rogue misses Miles.

Wendel stays on the edge of the stage where he can keep an eye on the situation, staying as close to the king as he can but still keeping the higher ground. Pulling his Druidic focus out he readies Frostbite to be cast on the next creature that directly threatens the king.

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
Your attack misses wildly.
OOC:
At this point, all of the civilians have cleared the main battleground.

There is one BM Guard left, engaged with Miles. The BM Wizard is still 100’ from the stage. The gnoll is unengaged, as is the second rogue. The first rogue is engaged with Zadok. The other 3 PCs are still on stage and unengaged.
The last BM Guard swings at Miles.
The Wizard moves forward 20’ and casts sleep on the stage.

Everyone on stage falls asleep, except Lyss, whose fey ancestry shakes it off.

The guards sword misses and Miles strikes back.

Miles blade strikes true, killing the last Guard.

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
Lyss's arrow snaps in half as she releases it.

The gnoll moves toward Zadok and strikes him with the butt of his great axe, trying to knock him out. The butt hits Zadok on the head and he crumbles.

The two masked rogues draw their bows and move closer to Lyss. You can see that these arrows have a flat head on them, meant for non-lethal damage. Both loose their arrows. Both arrows strike true and Lyss, the last remaining guard, falls into the blackness.

Re: Chapter 1: The Imposter
The four of you awaken, sore and bruised, but alive, surprisingly to you. You look around the poor light and see that you are all in individual cages, in some sort of torture chamber. Outside of your cells, you see the King and Miles on individual tables, chained down. You also notice the wizard, now you can see she is a female and the gnoll, both with black masks on. As you begin to stir, the woman's voice rings out Good morning, children.
