TelinArtho 02-02-06, 12:16 AM	[Introduction] As you approach the Warfare Alliance, the metal-man known as Gwar can be seen running down the street. Hey You! Stop! However, he is simply too slow. A group of four seem to be running away from the Warfare Alliance - each heading down a different path. You said you wanted to treat these four as "one" - so I'll do my best to refer to "you" rather than a particular one. Assign one to go down each path individually.
NiQil 02-02-06, 03:54 AM	With a brief glance at each other, the decision was made. This was the creature they had ventured to see. Gwar, the leader of the guild that would be used as their base of operations while they infiltrated Gladius. Being surrounded by hardened warriors who thought you were friends with them and would be loyal was always a good way to begin. Loyalty could be used. At the right moment, it would be put to very good use.... As one, the dwarves who only referred to themselves as The Four Horsemen (having long ago given up keeping identities that conformed to the will of man), broke into a chase of the four beings that seemed to be fleeing from Gwar. With speed that seemed impossible for their size, they began the hunt all of the same mind. If these four had wronged Gwar or The Warfare Alliance in some way, then the judgement of the four would help gain them entrance and buy the loyalty they sought. Bows whipped out from leather cases across the back of the four, and each began targeting a different adversary as they sprinted after them. The one on the far left, known now only as Famine, aimed at the fleeing person that was also to the left.
TelinArtho 02-02-06, 02:24 PM	Famine brought his bow to aim and fired upon the fleeing individual - an orc from what he can tell. However, his arrow misses its mark (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=353658) and clatters harmlessly along the road. The individual barely chances a look over his shoulder before disappearing down a nearby alley way. He turns down an ally 60ft away from your current position.
NiQil 02-02-06, 03:54 PM	Famine advances carelessly, not really worried about what one little orc can do Advance 40 ft and if I have LOS, fire again...if not, ready to fire on sight. Also, don't forget my racial bonus vs orcs...I don't know if you added it in or not, but figured I would mention it.
TelinArtho 02-03-06, 12:11 PM	Noted on the Orc - +1 to hit - which results in a 14 - but still is not enough to deal damage. Famine marches forward - at a speed uncanny for a dwarf. However, he still has not gained sight of his target. The alley is still 20ft from you. You are readied to fire on sight. My action... alright - go ahead.
NiQil 02-03-06, 12:28 PM	Famine slowly creeps toward the alley, and moves around the corner with bow pulled tight, waiting for a good look at his target. Advance 40 ft, moving around the corner and into the alley, and either fire if LOS or ready to fire upon LOS.
TelinArtho 02-03-06, 12:55 PM	As Famine approaches the alleyway, he finds it empty. There are two doors about 20ft from him - both are closed - and the alley itself comes to an end at a stone wall some 30ft from him. You can choose not to ready now if you like - up to you. Regardless, it is your action again.
NiQil 02-03-06, 01:03 PM	Seeing the dead end, instead of readying I will stow my bow. My following action will be to draw my waraxe while advancing to one of the doors. If the door is not locked, open and enter. If locked, try the other door. If the other door is unlocked, open and enter. If both are locked, attempt to sunder a door to break it in with my waraxe.
TelinArtho 02-05-06, 10:01 PM	Famine puts away his bow and draws his axe while moving up to one of the doors. He opens it up and is greeted by a sword coming from the darkness beyond - which cuts (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=356508) him deeply. Readied action triggered - your action. Your opponent wields a long sword and has dealt 12 damage to you.
NiQil 02-05-06, 10:11 PM	I'll stick with waraxe attacks from here until I am down below half my hit points. I will reassess at that point. Otherwise, feel free to play it out in melee.
TelinArtho 02-07-06, 12:04 PM	Famine swings his axe in a wide arc, but the slice misses (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358238) his opponent and leaves him slightly off balance. The opponent takes the opportunity and slices him deeply again, but misses (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358242) any serious organs. 24 damage total to Famine... what would you like to do now?
NiQil 02-07-06, 12:17 PM	Draw my healing wand and use it to get back above half my hp. From here on out (unless my opponent disengages from battle), attack if above half my hp, or heal if I am equal to or below half my hp (16).
TelinArtho 02-07-06, 02:27 PM	Famine draws a wand from his side and taps it to his shoulder, but only feels slightly (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358429) better. His opponent sees this as a sign of weakness and thrusts his sword once more, but the dwarf's armor (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358431) protects him. Famine once again taps (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358435) the wand, and feels greatly helped. His opponent fails once again to penetrate the dwarf's armor - and now Famine seems all the more invigorated to kill him! Famine slices down with his axe and misses (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358443) once more, and winces as his opponent connects again, hurting him greatly. Wand still in hand, Famine touches it again to his side (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358448) and is relieved to see the blood stop flowing. His opponent fails to hurt him again. Famine heals once more (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358453), but winces again as the orc's blade cuts deeply (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358455). Will finish this off in a minute - just posting it to "save"
TelinArtho 02-07-06, 03:38 PM	Placeholder: Famine is at 11hp (21 total damage) CLW and opponent attack (1d8+1=7, 1d20+6=17, 1d8+4=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358532) Placeholder: Famine is at 18hp (14 total damage) Famine attacks, opponent attacks (1d20+7+1=18, 1d10+3=5, 1d20+6=12, 1d8+4=12) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358533) Placeholder: Famine is at 18hp (14 total damage), Opponent has taken 5 damage Famine attacks, Opponent attacks (1d20+7+1=24, 1d10+3=7, 1d20+6=13, 1d8+4=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358537) Placeholder: Famine is at 18hp (14 total damage), Opponent has taken 12 damage Famine attacks, opponent attacks (1d20+7+1=23, 1d10+3=10, 1d20+6=9, 1d8+4=9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=358538) Opponent goes down. Famine heals once more and then continues his assault with renewed vigor - dodging and parrying his opponents attacks with skill and poise. Dicing his side and cutting his arm - the orc eventually falls under Famine's heavy axe - a look of bewilderment permanently etched on his face. Got close on this one...
NiQil 02-07-06, 03:44 PM	Famine, very angry that it took him this long to dispatch the orc, proceeds to sever the head from the body. He then wraps the head in the orcs shirt and start to walk away. He pauses, turns, grins evilly, turns around and proceeds to hack the orc into several pieces before turning and heading out to find his cohorts, covered in orc's blood. Tell me about it...I was a little concerned with that crit that almost confirmed. Was thinkin I might be the first to die on a miniquest LOL. Glad my wand did what it was supposed to.
