Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Prince rushes over to Xelia and sings to her as he cradles her head in his arms and tries to stop the bleeding from the stirge bite.

I betcha thatcha never knew that in my dreams you are the star

Don't you know it's gonna be lonely
Without you loving me
I know it's gonna be lonely
Without you giving me every little single thing that I need, lonely

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Xelia continues to bleed from the site of the wound.

The remaining 3 stirges fan out, attacking Durnan again. This time all three manage to attach themselves to the grizzled barkeeper. (16 damage)

The troll then attempts to take advantage of Durnan's distracted state, biting and clawing like a rabid animal (19 damage).

Durnan counter-attacks with Grimvault, concentrating on the Troll rather than the stirges. (27 damage, but regens 10 damage)

Yagra hears the warrior's call in her blood and cannot resist attacking the Troll before her. (8 damage)

OOC:

in progress... Done!

Xelia takes a turn for the worse, spitting up gobs of blood.

Xelia's death save was a natural 1, which means she is at 2 failed death saves. I won't waste the bardic inspiration on it, since it's still a nat one.

Unaware of the medical emergency upstairs, Alastriona continues her attack upon the troll. She swings her glaive from a distance, hoping to whittle the monster down.

Seeing Prince struggling to get Xelia’s injuries under control Butler changes tack from attacking and moves to see if he can assist.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Stitches winds up and flicks a stone at the troll's face, then runs up the stairs toward his waiting bow. The grim scene at the top of the stairs catches him off guard. He looks down at the unconscious Xelia cradled in Prince's arms, then bends down to pat her gently on the head and whispers, "What'll it be today, Mama?" in Prince's voice.

After a deep breath to steel himself, he turns around to grab the rest of his pack.

Assuming Prince stabilizes Xelia

With Xelia stabilized, Vatra turns his attention to the Troll, and with a quick hand motion launches a fire bolt in gruesome monster's direction.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Prince and Butler, rallying around the fallen matriarch, manage to stop the bleeding and stabilize Xelia's condition.

In the meantime, Alastriona, Stitches, and Vatra turn on the troll (21 damage total). Vatra's firebolt grazing the monster's skin causes the troll to yell in pain and fear more than any slash from Grimvault - its whole skin changes a paler shade of green.

The stirges drink deep from Durnan's blood (15 damage) which he cannot bear any longer. He lashes out at the vile creatures, his sword ringing out as he cleaves through them in a single sweep around himself. After he steadies himself, he levels a final attack against the Troll (9 damage).

The troll is pale and sweaty after being burned by Vatra. It lurches wildly, trying to find the source of the flame, attacking everything in reach. However, its wild swings fail to connect with anything. It dives into the well, trying to make its escape.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Alastriona cuts the troll's leg off at the knee cap, but the remainder of the troll escapes into the 40-foot wide well.

Durnan claps Alastriona on the shoulder.

"Ye fought well." with a stern look. He tosses her the foot.

He makes his way up to Xelia and pulls a flask from his boot.

"She helped me out of a bind awhile back. The Troll's lucky she got knocked out. Tough dame, that one"

He puts the flask to her lips and tips her head back.

OOC:

The flask contains a potion of greater healing. Xelia is back to full HP and regains consciousness. Moofsalot, feel free to fill in the story of why Durnan owed you a favor.

Looking around, you see the patrons have largely abandoned the bar. Bonnie has grabbed a mop and bucket and is cleaning up the troll's blood, while Threestrings strums a quiet song in the distance. Yagra bandages her forearms while Durnan starts propping up knocked-over furniture chairs .

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Alastriona looks at Durnan quizzically, then turns her attention to the foot as she is left alone. Standing near the well, she gazes upon the contours, the long nails, and even takes a look at the exposed muscle and bone.

Her war scythe curled above her head, Alastriona silently bows her head to smell the severed limb.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Volo comes storming down the steps from the third floor, clapping admiringly.

"That was incredible!" he says, a big grin on his face. "I dare say, it is a rare thing to see such a display of musical genius combined with feats of daring bravery! Say, I could use your help. Let's find a table to talk, shall we?"

He begins his request with an air of charm, but it quickly devolves into tearful sincerity. As you take a seat around a table, Volo apprehensively strokes his mustache, adjusts his floppy hat, and tightens his scarf.

"That business with the Beauties and Yagra is bad business. I trust you've noticed the violence in our fair city these past tendays. The Xanathar's Guild and the Zhentarim are tearing each other apart! I haven't seen so much blood since my last visit to Baldur's Gate! But now I fear I have misplaced a friend amid this odious malevolence."

"My friend's name is Floon Blagmaar. He's got more beauty than brains, and I worry he took a bad way home a coule nights ago and was kidnapped - or worse. If you agree to track him down with all due haste, I can offer you ten golden dragons apiece now, and I can give you each ten times that when you find Floon. May I prevail upon you in my hour of need?

Alastriona remains standing, taking a position behind Xelia and Prince like a bodyguard. The troll foot is still clasped in her free hand.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

The battle below still raging, Stitches hoisted his shortbow, pulled an arrow from the quiver still in his pack and and nocked it in one smooth motion. He turned as he drew, but before he could loose the shot, the troll stumbled backwards into the well. He held his aim until the loud squelching sound of the monster hitting the bottom echoed up the shaft. Releasing the tension in the string, he repeated the messy noise and gave a curt nod of finality before stowing his gear.

With the fight won, Stitches casually scouted the area to see if anything of value was jostled free of its owner. He paused to give Alastriona a concerned look when he saw her sniff the troll leg, but all he found of worth was one of his sling bullets, still intact and ready to kill again.

He's eager to hear Volo's story and plops into a large chair, his feet dangling above the ground. When the bard finishes, Stitches strokes the bottom of his beak. He pulls a few playing cards seemingly from nowhere and places a 2 of Stones and a 5 of Winds on the table.

"Ten golden dragons apiece now," comes Volo's voice from his throat, and he shakes his head. He taps the two and the five in turn, rubs the fingers of one hand together and makes the sound of clinking coins.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

As Xelia starts to breath normally and seems to be out of danger Butler feels the tense knot leave his stomache before starting to head downstairs. That was close he thinks to himself didn't think I was that close to these people, maybe it's time to move on before they....walking aways better than seeing them die, can't see that again his expression darkens as he reaches for his crossbow quarel that is currently pinning a stirge to the wall. With a flick of his wrist he pulls it clear and sends the thing flying off the end down the well.

As Volo gathers the rest of the group in he hesitates for a moment before moving to join them. He blinks as Stitches 'negotiates' but stays quiet, part lost in thought and part wanting to see how this plays out.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

Alastriona stares at Volo from under the cowl of her diaphanous shawl, gaze almost unblinking. Her eyes shift briefly to Stitches and the sound of clinking coins, but she returns her attention to Volo soon after.

Re: Chapter 1: A Friend in Need

As the chaos subsides, Vatra moves to Xelia's side and helps her to her feet when she is ready. The young Genasi watches the famous Volo as he tells his story. Vatra turns to Xelia expectantly, waiting on her response to determine the next course of action.
