| TelinArtho12-01-05, 10:17 AM | [Introduction] Shaz wandered the fields of Gladius purposefully, though the entire reasoning of that purpose was hidden from him at the moment. The day was windy and the sun was hidden behind thick, puffy white clouds. Although rain wasn't in skies, the air was humid and slightly cold. In the distance he observed something which at first didn't make sense to him - a dwarf swinging his sling in a fashion that would indicate an attack - the dwarf however was looking towards the sky. At first Shaz did not see anything, but after a moment, he could see the whisps of air coallesce into the form of an elemental. The dwarf was accompanied by a wolf - though both seemed tied up with the attention of the elemental in the sky to pay heed to Shaz. They are ~150ft away over clear terrain (they haven't noticed you because they just came into view and because their attention is elsewhere). |
| Dracazar12-01-05, 11:49 AM | Shaz approachs near the dwarf without holding weapons and exclaim (in Auran): Oh! an Air Elemental, then (in Common) Yes, this is an Air Elemental! Good man don't shoot this small creature, it is not hostile, perhaps it is only mislayed. I'll gladly offer you a beer in the nearest tavern as soon as you stop using your sling. Then Shez looks towards the sky and says (in Auran): Essence of Air, listen me, in this windy day perhaps you got lost, but don't have fear, I'll help you. In the meantime Shaz give a better look to the dwarf and his animal. |
| TelinArtho12-01-05, 01:10 PM | Stay out of business that is not yours manling - else you'll meet my friend here's bite The way the dwarf said manling was something in between disgust and disrespect. The air elemental doesn't respond to your calls (though air elementals don't often speak - so this is not altogether uncommon). |
| Dracazar12-01-05, 05:13 PM | Oh! I hope you didn't misunderstood me, I would never interfere with a dwarf business, especially if the dwarf is mighty as you. But now I'm here, the divine fate wanted me to be here, and I'll not stay still while you slaughter an innocent and wonderful creature. So, please, accept kindly my invite and toast together with a fresh beer this encounter. LOL, I love to play a paladin. Feel free to decide for a diplomacy check or not. While speaking, Shaz shows the sheath of his falchion while moving his mantle. |
| TelinArtho12-01-05, 05:38 PM | Everything gets in my way - and you are no different - nor is this thing for which you are sticking up. Grit - attack! The wolf closes most of the distance to Shaz - leaving 40ft of open terrain between them. Initiative (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=303532) Dwarf 22 Shaz 17 Wolf 4 The dwarf draws a club from his side and quickly casts a spell. [Your action] |
| Dracazar12-02-05, 11:57 AM | What? You are attacking me? You are attacking a noble paladin and your act will not be unpunished. Shaz draws the bow and fire an arrow to the wolf, then he thinks: A dwarf that casts a spell? really strange, let pay attention. Try to listen something (auran) Essence of Air! Forgive this wrongdoer |
| TelinArtho12-02-05, 04:42 PM | Shaz lets loose an arrow at the wolf (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=304204) but it doesn't even come close. The dwarf laughs at the pitiful shot, while his wolf finishes closing the distance at great speed and leaps upon Shaz (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=304205). Shaz pushes the animal aside though - deflecting its bite from doing any harm. The dwarf runs most of the distance closer and stands about 60ft away. The air elemental stays aloft - hovering about 30ft off of the ground - observing. |
| Dracazar12-03-05, 04:35 AM | Shaz move 5' back, draws a stone of Force Screen and uses it. Shaz looks at the dwarf trying to note what type of armor he has. You are attacking deliberately an human paladin, this act shall cost you your life, watch what you are doing, I may still spare you |
| TelinArtho12-03-05, 01:30 PM | Shaz feels better with a little more protection for himself. The wolf leaps to bite (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=305106) him again and then tries to drag him to the ground, but Shaz shakes (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=305108) off the beast. [6 damage] The dwarf closes some more, hindered little by his hide armor. Shaz 19/25 |
| Dracazar12-03-05, 05:52 PM | Shaz thinks that this wolf is wild and dangerous, He is compelled to stop his starving bite. Shaz takes 5' step back, draws Powerstone of Mind Thrust [ML2] and targets the wolf Dwarf stops you efforts! (auran) Air! I listen you, tell me what happened here! |
| TelinArtho12-03-05, 11:32 PM | Shaz steps back and focuses his energy towards the wolf giving him trouble. Unfortunately, the wolf just shakes (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=305589) it off. The wolf bites (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=305599), but misses as well. The dwarf charges in and swings (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=305602) his club - but stumbles at the last second and misses. (forget to include the +2 from charging - but he missed anyway) |
| Dracazar12-04-05, 05:00 AM | Shaz thinks that this wolf is supernaturally lucky. It is time to take advantage of the dwarf missed charge, now he is more vulnerable. Shaz drops bow, draws falchion, and attacks the dwarf: Take this! Stubborn dwarf |
| TelinArtho12-05-05, 10:01 AM | Shaz quickly drops his bow, draws his impressive curved blade and sweeps it down on the dwarf in one motion (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=306702). The dwarf looks stunned at the hit - just before he falls to the ground. The wolf appears taken aback that his master has fallen, whipering as the dwarf hits the ground. Shaz backs away, but keeps his sword out just in case. The wolf croons over the body, as if it had lost a loved one. Shaz then notices the air elemental hovering above him. Noble warrior indeed. Thank you for saving me from his treachery. |
| Dracazar12-05-05, 10:38 AM | (auran) Essence of Air I'm really honored to meet you. I'm glad to free you from the treachery of this dwarf. I could do more for you. I really respect your race, so I wish to offer you the opportunity to follow me in my journey, I'll take care of you, up to you the decision. Then Shaz approach near the dwarf's body, slowly, without interfering with the wolf. Shaz removes the weapons from the dwarf and then lay on hands on his wounded body only 1 hp, this it is enough to stabilize him. Shaz pick up his crystal bow. |
