Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Xelia leans over the railing, watching the fight below with a keen eye. It takes her but a moment to decide what aid she will lend to this predicament. Holding a copper wire that curls decoratively around the lower section of her left ear, she whispers to Yagra. "You're doing well. You keep fighting and I'll keep you standing."

OOC:

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Yagra loosens up a bit after Xelia's confidence-boosting message. Moving more gracefully than brutally now, she easily dodges the retaliatory swing from the harpist.

OOC:

Yagra gains inspiration and goes up to 23/32 hp!

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Not liking where this situation is heading Vatra rears back and tosses a firebolt at the feet of the aggressors in an attempt to back them off. ENOUGH! The Fire Genasi flares up in anger seeing the bar fight escalate.

OOC:

Attempting to use my magic attack to intimidate them into quit fighting. Not wanting to hit or kill anyone unless as a last resort. Gonna roll a 20

For an attack- would be +4 but intimidation is only +2 unless you’d allow me to swap out arcana but int is not my spell ability so I don’t see how that would apply anyway.

Edit- fail lol

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

This wasn't the first bar fight Stitches had gotten caught up in, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. He thought back to a tactic his mentor Athalantar "Alan" Glim used to use when outnumbered and trying not to put anyone in the dead book. Sneaky ol' Alan.

Stooping low to the ground, Stitches ducked behind and under the heavy chairs and tables to get closer to the scrum. He slipped a pouch out from under his cloak and used one hand to scoop the contents onto the floor beneath most of Krentz's bandmates.

OOC:

Stitches scatters ball bearings under four of the attackers (assuming they all take up one square and aren't clustered more tightly.)

Quote:

You can spill the contents of the packet or pouch to spread tiny metal balls across the floor. A creature moving across an area covered with ball bearings must succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature that notices the ball bearings can move at half speed through the area to avoid falling prone. A single pouch of ball bearings covers a 10-foot-by-10-foot area.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Vatra's fire bolt harmlessly impacts on the floorboards. Stitches makes use of the natural cover and Vatra's distraction to deliver the ball bearings under the feet of the bard bandits.

Prince leans over the rail and calls down to the Kara-turan swinging sticks at Butler.

"Yoo hoo! Yeah, you! Are you aware that your mother was a hamster, a hamster I say, and your father smelt of elderberries!"

He takes another swig from his mug and gives Xelia a look across the table.

"Vatra's not the only one who can burn things."

The fact that the Kara-turan doesn't even seem to hear him does not reduce Prince's satisfaction in his insult.

OOC:

Alastriona continues her casual walk, shouldering through the crowd, until she can get up to the brawlers. She strides around until she is behind one of the Beauties. She cocks her arm back, then slings her fist and the clenched pewter mug forward to the back of the Marimba player's head.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Xelia smiles genially, a look of confusion on her face, not understanding the insult. "My dear Prince, have you never smelled fresh elderberries in early fall? They're tantalizingly fragrant." She pats him on the hand gently before leaning over the railing at the same Kara-turan, stating for all nearby to hear, "Your family tree rots at the head, you but a slug clinging to its desiccated roots."

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

The throat singer barely dodges Butler's chair. He then retaliates, but with his head still swimming in dark imagery from Xelia's taunt, Butler deflects his distracted blows with ease.

The marimba player gets back up, and calls out a warning to his friends of the ball bearings under their feet. In the same breath, he fights back against Alastriona, but it is to avail.

The remaining three lean into their strikes against Yagra, which take a toll (7 damage). Yagra cries out in pain, and slam the pan flautist into the pillar (5 damage)

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Prince applauds Xelia's superior retort.

"Xelia dear, if you smell like Elderberries, it means you've been drinking a lot. I was insinuating that his father ... oh, a moment:"

He leans over the rail and points a finger at the harpist:

"You loggerheaded, urchin-snouted, canker-blossom!"

The harpist falls to the ground, unconscious.

OOC:

I'd normally not roleplay a PC so much in their absence, but please forgive me, Prince has the personality trait: "I love a good insult, even one directed at me." I just can't help myself!

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Alastriona and Butler take down the throat singer, who collapses in a wheezing heap.

OOC:

calculating morale... Done.

Seeing the Kara-turan go down knocks whatever fight was left in the pan flautist and piccoloist, who drop their wooden sticks and raise their hands in defeat.

Meanwhile, Durnan has lit a pipe and has been watching the melee intently.

Yagra still looks eager to hurt things. She growls under her breath, making sure Xelia can't hear her, but it is obvious that she is disappointed with any conclusion to the melee that didn't involve all six of Xanathar's Beauties left unconscious. She roars at the two that can still hear her.

"You think the Black Network is going to take this lightly?! We don't care who your master is!"

The Beauties say nothing, but it is clear it is not out of contrition. Their hateful stares reveal the depth of anger that burns inside them.
