#1 orcy_the_green_wonder May 27, 2009 0:47:08	The Evergreen Forest [Map Location: O8] Settled at the edge of the Evergreen Forest along the Lowland Plains where the road itself disappears into the wide open plains. The End of the Line Inn is a large building of wood. Worn white pain is peeling in a few places around the Inn's exterior but it is the last building before entering the lowland plains. A sign hangs over the entrance door, a heavy, hearty wood stained dark and in heavy contrast to the surrounding exterior. A stable rests around the back and one must enter through an opening in the large fence. It appears there had once been a gate but it has long since been removed. Inside the visitor is immediately greeted by a large room, it's walls smoothed logs stained the same color as the door one has just walked through. There are numerous tables filling the room on this floor, a hallway leading back further into the building with many doors on either side of it. At the right side of the room a large stairway leads upwards to the next level. The bar rests straight ahead of the visitor and hanging over it against the wall is a large axe. A dwarf stands behind the bar, his long beard graying in spots from it's vibrant red. Around the room there are always patrons to be found, travlers and adventurers seeking the treasures said to be hidden away in the Scorched Woods, remnants of the ancient evils that once lurked within. Rumors have come to these lands that evil stirs once more, somewhere here in the east. That a darkness is coming and the peace of the world will be challenged once more. Many have come here seeking this evil, seeking to claim glory. They pray that one day their names shall be spoken with reverence as those belonging to the Heroes of old are. Some hope to prove themselves worthy enough to ascend to the throne, others hope to gain power enough to take it by force. For while there are many who have come to stomp out this evil... others have come to seek it out for more nefarious purposes. Others have come... to join it.
#2 gulien Jun 02, 2009 21:42:32	A cold wind blows as a tall figure enters the End of the Line Inn, the light of the dusk ducking in the door as he passes in. His skin is pale and white in shocking contrast to the black hair that hangs from his head in places while in others stabbing outward. A large black robe is wrapped tightly around his slender body with wisps of embroidered flames climbing from the ground. He walks with steady graceful steps and finds himself at the bar. He fixes his eyes on the dwarf and sits. "Well met barman, have you any wine to slake my thirst?"
#3 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 02, 2009 23:32:06	"Aye, I've got all sorts of drinks from those fruity elven wines to the strongest dwarven stout. Thats why this be the last stop, end of the line and all that. Ye be drinkin ta ferget friend? Ye look like ye be in mourning." The dwarf plucks a piece of parchment from behind the bar and sets it down, listing a number of various wines from an exotic elven passionfruit wine to a gobbish swamp-berry wine.
#4 gulien Jun 03, 2009 8:05:50	The man chooses the gobbish swamp-berry wine with a wry smile, memories flickering behind his eyes. A frown crosses his face as if those memories were not his own. He looks up to the dwarf, or down, with one hand handing him the list back while the other waves and a little glob appears on the bar. Absent mindedly he begins to speak while the little glob takes on a bizarrely humanoid shape and starts to walk about, not straying to far from his hand. "Forget? No... to remember? Maybe, but i have naught to remember as I am as I always have been. Things seem different and yet the same from my perspective... Worry yourself no more on my expense good man, you keep a free house with a pleasant and peaceful aura. No, I mourn no one, leave be myself." Shaking his head his looks return to a more here and now attentiveness. The glob toddles about and catches his attention. With a flash of his eyes it is gone, his unruly hand brought back to dominion. "If you will I have heard tell of troubles in this area. Some speak of a shadow on the horizon, I would know more of this. Perhaps, to help?"
#5 moriok_mephidross_dup Jun 04, 2009 1:46:42	The air fills with the sound of faint music, a mournful song that travels swiftly as if desperate to beat the coming night. erdana">"The sun has gone and light has passed, the warmth of day it turns to cold. Naught the day has made will last, when the dark of nights grown old. Though this life we live to face, for how long none might say. Until the blessed night's embrace, once more shall we face the day. All shall last that we have made, until I am with you once more. Then, all that is shall fade, and I shall come to silent shore." As the words carry upon the wind a slender figure enters. A man wearing black from head to toe and the tattered remnants of a funeral shroud covering blackened armor. He is pale but not deathly so and shortly cut black hair tops his head. Entering the inn, the man stops to take in his surroundings before choosing a table near the doorway where he rests a glaive inscribed with designs of skulls. From the weapon hang many tokens, any seeing it perhaps noting at least one token of lament from their people's beliefs.
#6 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 04, 2009 13:51:04	The dwarf's bushy eyebrow raises as the strange man enters to the sound of sad music. He glances toward the... other strange man and shakes his head slowly. He makes his way to the side of the bar and leans in toward the barmaid there. "What is it about dusk that brings out the nuts? An remind me not to be sayin mourning again... seems ta bring the crazies. Bah... now I'm sad... stupid song... crazy people... whats this world comin ta?"
#7 moriok_mephidross_dup Jun 04, 2009 22:43:56	The man at the table looks up slowly toward the dwarf, his hand stroking the glaive at his side gently. erdana">"This world is coming to learn that peace cannot last. Unity is an illusion, the only thing certain is the inevitability of death. In the end all things fade." The man's fingers run through the various tokens upon his glaive, a distant look coming over his face.
#8 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 04, 2009 23:10:32	"Ok... I'm just gonna stand... over here." The Dwarf inches over to the middle of the bar below the large axe that hangs on the wall. He crosses his arms and eyes the black clad man at the table. "Near... me axe."
#9 gulien Jun 05, 2009 21:12:12	The pale man listens and in the end stands, looking at the stranger in black. "Perhaps, stranger, however there are still forces mortals have not yet come to know, surely there are things that are truly....endless... In the end hope will exist. The striving to live and grow, to be become something more. Have you any hope?" Turning to the dwarf again his look has become resolute. "I beg yet again master dwarf, to be told of this shadow that has shrouded the hearts of the people thus. People should not be so resigned to eternity, there should be a dream for all, to drive existence."
#10 moriok_mephidross_dup Jun 06, 2009 12:16:13	The man looks toward the pale one at the bar and the slight hints of a smirk spread across his lips. erdana">"No things are beyond mortal knowledge, only beyond mortal acceptance. These are the things men do not wish to exist, and so deny it's existence. It is as a man denying the inevitability of death. Nothing is endless, all things fade in time. Take it ten years or five thousand. Hope holds no power when a man has faded, one cannot hope when one is gone. Men strive to defy their inevitable end, it is those who accept it is coming that reach the greatest heights. It is this end that forces people to strive, to grow, and to live while they can. Leave the blind hope and faith that something greater will come to the clerics."
#11 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 06, 2009 12:34:39	The dwarf glances between the two men before turning toward the pale gentleman who had spoken to him first. "Well friend, if I knew a lot about it, wouldn't be much of a shadow eh? Don't rightly know whats 'shrouded' this young man... but what ye were askin about earlier, thats different. People say somethins movin in them old ruins across the plains, scorched woods they call the place. Somethin evil is lurkin there. Not sure what it is, but seems like its gettin to people around them woods, ever since it started. I seen some people go inta them scorched woods and when they came back... they weren't the same."
#12 lunoc Jun 07, 2009 12:22:48	heavy thuding footsteps can be heard outside. the kind of footsteps that herald bounty hunters, mercenaries, or I suppose a someone wearing heavy boots with a serious dislike of floorbords. a hobgoblin (the apparent source of the footsteps) walks into the Inn. even for a hobgoblin, this one seems particularly covered in scars. he roughly compiles a statement, some of the words being beaten and bruised as they attempt to cross over his teeth bridg me drink now drawrf. he pounds a few dirty coins on the table
#13 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 08, 2009 11:21:50	The dwarf raises a bushy eyebrow and looks the hob over. He shrugs, taking the coins and counting them before bringing the hob an appropriate drink for the amount he has paid. "Here ye go... careful with the counter there eh?"
#14 gulien Jun 10, 2009 15:37:45	The pale man looks to the monster as it walks in and prepares to do battle, then is astonished as it is served. Keeping an eye on it he makes way for the door. "If you are so resigned to your folly then I will leave you to it. I however will bring hope to the hearts of the people. I make way for these scorched woods, action may be needed and I am willing to do it. I invite those of you who are brave enough to come."
#15 bookmen Jun 10, 2009 19:19:45	At the front of the Inn the door slowly swings open, a voice venturing in as it opens. "'The bravesst are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwissstanding, go out to meet it.' Thucydidesss.” The voice slithers its way in with a think snake like lisp prevailing. "'Bravery iss believing in yoursself, and that thing nobody can teach you.' El Cordobesss” With the door fully open now the voice's source can be easily seen. Filling the frame of the door stands a tall figure dressed in fine armor and clothing of dark violets with stylish slashes of yellow. Combining these with the figure's natural deep violet skin it makes it is hard to see where the garments stop and the skin begins. A long cloak decorated with stitchings of various weapons along the edges and a large image of a Great Axe dominating the back drapes over his shoulders. Looking at his face one is confronted by a foot long well groomed pale silver beard, discomforting yellow in yellow eyes lacking any white or pupil one of which is covered by a simple monocle, and an absurdly tall cylinder shaped dark violet hat with yellow trimmings of which two pointy ears jut out under it. As he enters his hoofed feet gently tap the wooden floor boards and a long hairy tail sweeps out lazily from under his cloak. "Pardon me good ssir, but I jusst love a good quote or two."
#16 badflayer Jun 11, 2009 18:08:56	The door swings open suddenly slamming against the wall. A female figure stands looming in the entryway shrouded in an unnatural darkness. The woman is dark skinned, clad in tarnished steel armor from the neck down, a three pronged spear-like weapon is tied to her backpack. Messy white hair hangs long past her chest only barely hiding her pointed ears. Red bangs cover her forehead and match her glowing red eyes. She lumbers forward slowly, stumbling occasionally. "Yoooouuu.... jerk!" The woman exclaims, stumbling obviously inebriated over to wards the hoofed gentleman. "Wh-where's mah gold ya purple oaf!"
#17 moriok_mephidross_dup Jun 11, 2009 18:36:26	Slowly the shrouded man rises from the chair in which he sits. A single twist of his wrist and he twirls the glaive in the air before he sets the metal shod butt of the weapon to the ground. erdana">"If you seek to enter those dark, cursed woods... then I shall come. If only to sing thy dirge."
#18 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 12, 2009 1:58:44	Outside the inn there stands a strange pair. They look to eachother then back to the goings on within the tavern. Each wears a heavy cloak made from the hide of a wolf. Upon the forehead of each wolf's head hood with the symbol of an eye set into the center. The two look back toward the comotion coming from within the inn but remain silent outside, leaning upon a pair of identicle swords.
#19 bookmen Jun 15, 2009 0:56:18	"Sirss if you seek to enter those woods I, Sir Slome Kervallis, shall join you, should you take me, and I am certain my well mannered friend, the young lady, will be more then willing to join you as well. "
#20 badflayer Jun 15, 2009 22:05:02	"Whaha- what? Um where err emm I goin'?" The woman slinks slowly over to the bar and sits her self down on a barstool. "Something about adventure?" She grins tapping her fingers against the counter serface. "I'd love to lend a hand! Me and my little blue friend are sure to be of use to you..."
#21 moriok_mephidross_dup Jun 16, 2009 12:18:59	Standing silently near the door, his glaive upon his shoulder the man's eyes shift toward the drow woman. Glancing between her and the other man for a moment before turning towards the door. erdana">"This other seems to have faded away into the inner workings of his mind. Perhaps we should be on our way if this is to be the case with him. There is much to do before I die and ever the threat looms over us that it will be this day. And look... we've company without, perhaps we should see who these gemini might be."
#22 bookmen Jun 16, 2009 13:00:42	Slome laughs a bit at the doleful man's comparison. "Yes, Gemini indeed. She and I would. . ." Slome turns toward his drow friend with an angry expresion. "'Little blue friend'? Don't tell me you still believe in gremlins. I keep telling you there is no such thing."
#23 badflayer Jun 16, 2009 15:00:37	"How can you say that when he's right here-" She looks around puzzled. "What? Where did he go? Well... that was rude of him to leave like that! Anyway, I'm Elisha Val'Korona spear-man of- well that's not important..."
#24 moriok_mephidross_dup Jun 17, 2009 0:14:57	erdana">"Good meeting to you Elisha for what days we live. You may call me Nocturne though it be not my name for that hath died long ago." The man exits the inn, making his way across the space between and stopping before the two in wolf's clothing. erdana">"I have heard of wolves in sheeps clothing but be this a new development, sheep in wolves? Or perhaps you are something more deadly and parade as the weaker predator."
#25 gulien Jun 17, 2009 2:37:52	The pale man leaves the Inn and the drunken ramblings of the woman behind. He wraps his cloak about himself against a wind that does not seem to blow. Making his way into the night he stands and watches as Nocturne addresses the twin-bladed folk.
#26 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 17, 2009 2:57:02	The two look to eachother once more before shifting their gaze to the man infront of them. They lift their swords, one swinging his over his left shoulder, the other over his right and sheathing them at their backs with three fingered hands. Closer inspection reveals the two to be identicle, with pale skin and a bare slits for noses. Solid blue eyes stare out, no pupils to be seen within. "You speak of Scorched Woods." Says One. "We will take you there if you wish." Says the other. The two exchange glances once more then return their solid eyes toward those infront of them. "The road is dangerous." Says the first. "It is possible that you will die in that dark place." The second adds. "But if it is truth you seek... then we will guide you on this path... better a guide..." The first speaks and trails off. "Than to be left alone in the dark." The second finishes.
#27 bookmen Jun 17, 2009 23:05:02	Slome stands to the side next to the pale man leaving the conversation for politer company.
#28 gulien Jun 18, 2009 1:54:22	Stepping forward the pale man nods to the twins and speaks. "Yes, I believe a guide would suit us well, who knows what horrors await those who would stray from the path of destiny. I would know you, and all of you, though and offer my own name to ply yours. I am Onieros of East Eden, and you?"
#29 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 19, 2009 10:41:18	The two shift their gaze toward the pale man, Onieros as he calls himself. They dip together on a short bow before speaking. "We are Tolahn," The first says. "And Tohman," Adds the second.
#30 gulien Jun 20, 2009 22:26:56	Onieros nods, his quandry fulfilled. "I will follow if you will lead. Shall we?"
#31 moriok_mephidross_dup Jun 21, 2009 0:45:46	Simply nodding slightly to the twins and the others, the shrouded man falls into step behind the others. Slipping his glaive into a baldric at his back he draws out a flute from his bag.
#32 bookmen Jun 24, 2009 14:27:32	Slome follows.
#33 orcy_the_green_wonder Jun 24, 2009 17:36:11	The twins dip their heads slightly before turning toward the plains. They immediately start off and begin the long treck across the open plain. Night passes and begins to fall again before they finally stop and allow camp to be set up for the night. One walks the perimiter of the camp, eyes gazing out into the dark night around them.
#34 bookmen Jul 01, 2009 9:31:01	With one of the guides patrolling Slome approaches the other. "Excuse me sir, and forgive me if I am to forward, but what compelled you to guide us? Is this your livelihood, looking for those in need of guides and then doing so?"
#35 orcy_the_green_wonder Jul 01, 2009 23:06:29	"You plan to go into a dangerous place. We know this place you travel to. If we did not offer our assistance then it would be the same as letting you die should you not return. It would be like killing you ourselves and we are not murderers. Besides... there are things in that land that we must do, things we must locate and discover. It is beneficial to us all to have eachother."
#36 bookmen Jul 03, 2009 21:19:52	"Indeed, of course, quite the good reason sir, but, and tell me if I pry overly so, you mention a quest. May I ask what is your quest?"
#37 badflayer Jul 03, 2009 23:28:37	Elisha sits just outside of camp, restlessly rubing her arms and shivering. She stares up at the night sky mistified by vast bright and unfamiliar stars. In the mitst of her gazing Elisha hears the serpent like voice of her companion talking at one of the stranger twins and slowly shifts her sight towards him. "HEY SLOME! What'cha Doin'?" She called grinning playfully,"Why don't ya come over here an' share a bottle o' wine wit me?"
#38 bookmen Jul 05, 2009 17:48:36	"Dear Missss, share wine with you? I would sssertainly love to. Assuming of course you didn't by your normal cheap brand of human wine asss you are apt to do." Slome looks toward the humans of the group, each in turn. "Forgive me human brethren I of course have nothing against you, but human wine rarely matches my tastes and she, more often then not, buys the cheapest form of it one can possibly find."
#39 moriok_mephidross_dup Jul 09, 2009 0:02:23	The dark clad man rests upon the nearby ground. His flute in his hands he begins slowly to play. The song that comes forth is soft and mournful. However those who listen closely can hear a happiness amidst the mournful tones.
#40 bookmen Jul 13, 2009 20:47:39	Slome goes to sleep for the night.
#41 orcy_the_green_wonder Jul 13, 2009 22:42:05	As Slome begins to settle down and go to sleep, a faint sound is heard in the distance. A slight cry of some animal, followed shortly by another. There is a silence with an unsettling feeling in the air for a few moments before a few points of light appear in the darkness of the plains. The light flys upward, swiftly, and travels at an arc before falling upon the ground around the party. Arrows covered with pitch. A few shouts are heard from the darkness and quick moving feet sound as figures approach. You are under attack! Roll initiatives! (Where are you people! Orcy was hoping folks would actually post... but most people appear to have fallen off the face of the earth)
#42 bookmen Jul 15, 2009 10:57:38	Slome prepares for battle. Initiative: 11 (OOC: Prepares for battle at a very average speed.)
#43 gulien Jul 16, 2009 15:25:37	Onieros is just slightly quicker than Slome as the arrows fall and he rises to battle. Initiative: +2 Dex (1d20+2=13)
#44 moriok_mephidross_dup Jul 17, 2009 8:29:26	Nocturne kicks his feet from beneath him, spinning and bringing himself upwards, standing and peering into the darkness from which the arrows came. His moves are swifter still than those others nearby... Initiative (1d20+4=21)

His hum turns into singing, strong and powerful, booming through the night air. Picking up/Drawing my weapon (move), Casting Inspirational Boost (Swift), and Singing to Inspire Courage (Standard). +3 to attack and weapon damage for our group.

When they finish they stop on either side of the man. He groans in pain, staggering but managing to maintain his balance. From behind them, two men rush out, their own blades, much shorter but just as deadly. They thrust into the backs of the two men, stabbing as their companion tries to fend them off. The blows are strong and deep, but the two stay their ground. Further down the field of battle men fire from the darkness, their arrows streaking through the air and plunging downward. Both strike Nocturne as he sings, sinking through his armor and wrappings and meeting flesh with cold steel tips. Nocturne takes 10 damage.

#51 bookmen Jul 18, 2009 17:31:23	Slome removes his monocle and top hat dropping them to the ground and draws from his cloak his great axe. With weapon in hand the civilized look Slome maintains so fully drops away replaced by a pure animal savagery. Draw weapon and enter into rage.
#52 moriok_mephidross_dup Jul 19, 2009 10:41:17	A mere hiss of pain interrupts Nocturne's song. He begins to stride forward, his words changing, the tone of his song flowing into darkness. He moves quickly, exiting the light of the torch-like arrows as a mournful dirge fills the area. Moving to G10, switching songs to Song of Sorrow (inspire effects last for the next minute). Drawing bow in my free hand while moving. Enemies need a Will save: DC 20 Failure means -2 to attack/weapon damage rolls and a -2 to will saves.

The one that had dispatched their common foe takes a step back, putting his back to his brother's. A sword cuts into another of the bandits, slicing a line across his leg. The two bandits press the attack, despite the feeling of dread that has overcome them both. They swing and stab one is deflected with ease, the other sinks his short-blade deep into the left twin's ribs. He staggers but keeps balance, growling in an intense rage. The other two men fire but their arrows fall short of their targets, the grief brought on by the magics of Nocturne's song too great for them.
#54 gulien Jul 19, 2009 17:43:53	Just outside the light of the pitch covered arrows a creature appears. Its body writhing and springing forward towards the enemy as if though its existense is for nothing more than this moment. With a mental command a lump of dream-stuff appears before Onieros and then spreads over his body as he moves into battle. Astral Construct appears at M-17 then moves to 0-10. Attacking once. Onieros activates his Skin of Ectoplasmic Armor and moves to I-16. Attack Roll: +3 Inspire Courage (1d20+15=19) Damage: +3 Inspire Courage (1d6+12=14)
#55 bookmen Jul 19, 2009 18:33:45	Slome charges toward one of the enemies attacking the Twins, but the distance takes time. Charge from B15 to F5.
#56 moriok_mephidross_dup Jul 22, 2009 11:07:34	Crouching and then moving slowly at first, Nocturne charges suddenly. He moves swiftly, moving with a dancer's grace as he leaps across the battlefield. He spins and slashes with his glaive at one of the twin's assailants. Nocturne Attack (1d20+16=22) 1d10+9=12 Charging from G10 to G5 and attacking.

They flex their arms and swing their large blades at their foes. Hacking and slashing at them with wild intensity. Their blades cut deeply into the bodies of their foes, seeming to give the twins greater drive to draw more from their bodies. The bandits reel, staggering for a moment. One retreats a step, pulling a vial from his belt and downing it's contents. His wounds seem to seal themselves slightly and his blood loss ceases. The other's blade is thrust and sinks into his target's body drawing only a small amount of blood.
#58 gulien Jul 24, 2009 3:35:02	Slashing twice Onieros's Construct presses its attack, ectoplasmic muscles spasming. Stepping quickly into the darkness Oni summons up a ball of ectoplasm and shoots it at the bandit infront of him. Construct attacks twice. Onieros moves from I-16 to N-15. Casts Entangling Ectoplasm on the bandit at S-15. Attack Roll: Construct vs Bandit (1d20+15=20, 1d20+15=23) Damage Rolls: Construct vs Bandit (1d6+12=13, 1d6+12=13) Ranged Touch Attack: Vs Bandit (1d20+8=20) If the globe hits he is entangled for the next 5 rounds.
#59 gulien Jul 25, 2009 4:25:08	Orcy can obviously correct me but as per the usual rules of the Guild House it has now been 24 hours since I posted. Slome can be skipped and Nocturne can act?
#60 orcy_the_green_wonder Jul 26, 2009 11:01:21	(Yes, go ahead and skip to Moriok)
#61 moriok_mephidross_dup Jul 27, 2009 1:01:08	A single step forward, or a long leaping spin to be more precise. Nocturne hurls himself into a wide spin and brings his glaive about. A slash is sent out toward the enemy that has healed himself for the moment. His slash is sent outward as he continues singing the words that weigh heavy on their enemie's hearts. Nocturne Attack/Damage (1d20+14=16, 1d10+9=17)

Once in position they swing as one, slashing as one into the man. Their blades each travel through the man's body, passing eachother as they rip forth from the opposite ends. Their foe collapses to the ground, no chance to scream. Nocturne's attack is dodged by the bandit. That same bandit leaps forward to the attack, stabbing and thrusting at the singing man. His blade sinks deep into his body, piercing into his body and into the ribs. Elsewhere on the battlefield the other bandit thrusts and stabs at the ectoplasmic terror that assails him. The other man turns to assist his friend but finds that his feet are stuck. He struggles for a moment then chooses to fire at the opponent with his bow. Sword: (Attack- 14, Damage- 2) Bow: (Attack- 21, Damage- 3)
#63 gulien Jul 27, 2009 13:06:02	As both attack fly wide on the Constuct it continues its attack, intent on bringing the foe down. Onieros raises his hand as what looks like shards of wicked crystals fly from it towards the enemy he attacked previously. Constuct attacks twice. Onieros casts Crystalstorm augmenting it with 4PP. +1d4damage and +1additional Con lost on failed fortsave. Attack Roll: Constuct vs Bandit (1d20+15=23, 1d20+15=29) Damage Roll: Construct vs Bandit (1d6+12=13, 1d6+12=13) Ranged Touch Attack: Crystal Storm vs Bandit (1d20+8=13) Damage Roll: Physical/Con FortSave DC18 (3d4=6, 1d4+1=4) 6 points of damage and on a failed fort save he also takes 4 points of con damage.
#64 bookmen Jul 27, 2009 22:24:26	Slome finishes his charge letting all of his fury out upon the enemy. Finish Charge in F4. Attack roll: 21+2 Damage roll: 15 Attack roll: 11+2 (Fumble) Damage Roll: 15 [EDIT] Wait Since I was finishing the charge my attacks get a +2. Forgot to put that in.
#65 orcy_the_green_wonder Jul 27, 2009 23:20:39	((You cannot pause a charge because you can't make it in one round. A charge is a full round action not a form of movement. Your attacks do not gain the +2 because of this... what you did when you 'started to charge' was a double move action. On top of this, if it WERE a charge, you would get only one attack (as part of the charge action) rather than the two you took. Since it was merely a 5ft step then full attack action, two rolls is correct however. A side note, there is a benefit you are not taking into account. That being the +3 to attack and damage rolls with weapons that Nocturne has granted everyone with his Inspire Courage.)) Slome comes upon the wounded man and slashes him once, nearly losing his grip upon his axe from the blood that splatters him and his hands. The bandit collapses to the ground, his own blood soaking the earth around him.

#70 moriok_mephidross_dup Jul 29, 2009 20:05:29	Nocturne, upon seeing his opponent fall places a hand to his body, healing magic flowing into him and begining to close his wounds. I am not sure how much damage I have taken, Orcy did not post it. It does however seem to be a critical judging from the description so I will likely keep these actions but would like to know how much I have taken so I can keep track. 2d8+4=9

Orcy forgot to post damage against you. He cannot recall exactly at this point quite honestly but he does know that it began with 3... so we're going to say 30 damage from the crit and that might save you a few points there....)) The twins turn toward their next foe, looking to eachother for only a moment before roaring out a challenge and charging. Their feet carry them swiftly across the plains to the bandit and their swords are swung hard. Carried on by the echoing tones of Nocturne's first song, their blades each sink into the foe. The combined effort of their attacks and the strikes that the astral construct had driven into the nearby bandit bring about their ultimate conclusion. The man gasps and staggers, his torso falling one way and legs the opposite. The one remaining foe stares blankly at the carnage before him. He struggles to be free of the ectoplasmic goo that binds him to his place. Finding himself stuck fast, he raises his bow and fires. The arrow sails through the air, arcing upwards and coming down to thrust deeply into the earth at Onieros' feet.
#72 gulien Aug 01, 2009 14:58:43	Onieros sees the other bandit fall and mentally nudges his construct onto the sole survivor. With its orders updated it charges headlong at the man seeking to do bodily harm unto its master's attacker. Simultaneously Onieros produces a wicked spear from his cloak and leaps forward thrusting it at the Bandit. Construct charges from O-10 to R-14 and attacks once. Onieros charges from N-15 to Q-15 and attacks once. Attack Roll: Construct vs Bandit, +2 Charge (1d20+17=27) Damage Roll: Construct vs. Bandit (1d6+12=15) Attack Roll: Oni vs Bandit, +2 Charge +3 Song (1d20+10=13) Damage Roll: Oni vs. Bandit, +3 Song (1d8+4=12) Orcy I didn't take into account of these guys can see me or not so I may have a better attack if im effectively invisible to them. If not? Dammit.
#73 moriok_mephidross_dup Aug 02, 2009 16:16:23	((If we are going to be using the same actions for Slome then I shall take my turn.)) With a thrust, Nocturne plunges the spiked end of his glaive into the ground. Removing the bow from his back he draws back the string and knocks an arrow. He takes his time lining up his shot and looses, the arrow sailing toward the remaining bandit. Ranged Attack (1d20+13=27) Ranged Damage (1d8+7=8)
#74 bookmen Aug 02, 2009 17:12:00	((If we are going to be using the same actions for Slome then I shall take my turn.)) (OOC: We are. Slome will just move as close as possible.)
#75 orcy_the_green_wonder Aug 04, 2009 10:51:21	As Nocturne's arrow plunges into the final bandit's chest, the twins push onward. Charging across the field they cross and slash with their large blades. The swords cut into the bandit's body and as the two skid to a stop, their target collapses upon the ground. The two scan the darkness slowly, looking for signs of other foes. ::End Combat::
#76 gulien Aug 06, 2009 0:04:56	With a wave of his hand the construct disappears. Oni approaches the closest bandit (s-15) and begins to examine him. "Simple greed or perhaps this darkness that has befallen people? If the former perhaps a cache of obsconded goods lays near by. If the later, we may wish to leave guard awake for our rest. What say you people?"
#77 orcy_the_green_wonder Aug 08, 2009 11:36:58	"These men were well prepared." "They must have been waiting for anyone to cross the plains." "In which case there may have been someone watching the Inn." "To track potential targets as they leave." The twins gaze into the distance, each looking in seperate directions as they speak. Their rage seems to have subsided causing one to lean heavily upon his sword.
#78 bookmen Aug 13, 2009 8:37:26	Slome gathers up his monocle and top hat after placing his axe back in his cloak. The image of the axe reappearing on the cloak once it is in. "And we likely looked like very good targets I would say."
#79 moriok_mephidross_dup Aug 16, 2009 9:19:06	Approaching from his position during the battle, Nocturne leans slightly upon his glaive, favoring his wounded side. erdana">"They have learned that we are not, and this may be a lesson to those that might lurk within the darkness around us. We shall not be stopped so easily... for there are things that await that must be found, must be done before death claims us. We rest... tomorrow there are more dirges to be sung for our foes."
