Jezebella Friday December 28th, 2001 8:02:51 AM
Time seems to stand still, as Jez waits, just behind the doorway.. waiting for something... ANTHING to happen...
(ooc : cmon folks, get postin!)
Syr Friday December 28th, 2001 10:23:54 AM
Syr breathes a sigh of relief when Becky's mask falls to the ground. He bends over and takes the mask, looking curiously at it. Finally, he pockets the mask, intending to give it to Miranna later. Upon hearing Eljer's call, Syr places a hand on his axe and slowly begins walking toward the door where Jez is waiting.
Tiree Friday December 28th, 2001 6:26:04 PM
As the other priests argue with Eljer, Tiree tenses a bit and leans forward. A small growl issues from her throat at the thought of what those supposes priests have been doing to that person.
"Rubbish! You've had forever to get this taken care of and you know that we should have this person by now! My charge behing me can accomplish in minutes that which you have not. We must have this man and we must have him NOW. So I say to you once again, WITHDRAW.
Eljer stares intensely, unblinking, at the two priests.
Bluff roll 12 Intimidate 4
OOC: ouch.
Polaris Saturday December 29th, 2001 1:22:51 PM
Polaris keeps one hand with Miranna and one with her bow, looking at the others with fright. She wasn't expecting a fight tonight, but that always seems to be the way life is around here.
DM Jan Monday December 31st, 2001 2:08:57 PM
Syr pockets the mask. Young Becky continues to wail sorrowfully.
Round the back -
Priest #1 takes in what Eljer has to say, and then frowns. "Who ARE you, exactly?" he says, right before shouting - "Guards!" (This can be heard by those outside.) Priest #2 looks as though he's starting to cast, his eyes shifting nervously between Eljer and Drew.
The man on the table groans and whispers. "Get me outta here..."
Tiree True d20+4=20 d4=3 Tuesday January 1st, 2002 2:50:30 AM
"Oh Blast!"
Standing, Tiree enters the room and fires her xbow at the priest (#2) who seems to be chanting to cast a spell (att 20, dmg 3).
Plink 2d4(3+1)=4 Tuesday January 1st, 2002 3:52:54 PM
Plink, hearing the commotion from out back, and seeing that young Becky has had the mask successfully removed, runs out and back to see if he can help.
If there's enough time, he casts sleep, attempting to target the two priests, and also any other enemies if they seem present.
(Affects 4 hit die worth of creatures)
Eljer d20+3=23 d20+3=11 Tuesday January 1st, 2002 4:06:44 PM
Eljer wastes no time answering the priest's inquiry, rushing instead to the table to begin to untie the captive. While moving to the table, he calls back to Drew in a facetious tone.
"You're up oh Consecrated One!"
Escape Artist Roll 23
Use Rope Roll 11
OOC: wasn't sure which roll, if either, would be the appropriate one to use when attempting to untie him
Drew d20+7=18 d12+5=17 Tuesday January 1st, 2002 11:21:05 PM
Finnaly the battle is joined and Drew can do what he does best. He steps foreward to silence the guard attacking with the flat of his balde to hopefuls knock out the stuborn guard.
(Hit AC 18 and dam 17, subdual)
Jezebella d20=6 d20=7 Wednesday January 2nd, 2002 8:43:28 AM
Jezebella mutters a curse, and comes out of her concealment.. she moves to thump the chanting preist with the hilts of her daggers but is off center, missing her subdueing blows. (assuming a 6 and a 7 miss)
Miranna Wednesday January 2nd, 2002 9:29:42 AM
Hearing the shout from within the temple, Miranna's face assumes a worried expression. She hesitates between checking out the commotion and taking care of little Becky. Feeling Polaris's hand in hers, she reaches a decision.
"Polaris, will you take Becky back home? I will see what is happening with the others."
She waves the pair off on their way before entering the building by the back, her bow held ready.
DM Jan d20+6=8 Wednesday January 2nd, 2002 6:06:55 PM
All hell lets loose as Tiree's bolt hits priest number 2 - interrupting his spell.
He then promptly drops to the ground, missing the points of Jez's daggers - fast asleep as Plink's spell take effect.
Eljer begins to untie the man on the table with speed and efficiency. It's going to take him two rounds to untie him, however.
The two guards who had been outside rush in. One of them takes a mighty whack, courtesy of the half orc, Drew.
Miranna will be in position next round after leaving the howling Becky with Polaris.
"Stop them you fools!" yells priest #1, beginning to recite. (Casting Prayer - guards gain +1, group -1 on attacks.
Guard #1 seems too stunned to do anything this round, but Guard #2 weilds his sword, aiming to slice Drew in two. He misses. (Drat!)
Drew d20+7=19 d12+5=11 Wednesday January 2nd, 2002 9:04:57 PM
Nearly being cut in two Drew drops the kid gloves and hacks at the Guard that he hit last time, this time with the full force and blade of his axe. Screaming "Get out now!!!! I cant hold forever."
(Hit AC 18 dam 11)
Tiree Thursday January 3rd, 2002 12:54:41 AM
Tiree, seeing all the help that has arrived, moves forward to help Eljer untie the prisoner.
Jezebella d20-1=3 d20-1=0 d4+1=5 Thursday January 3rd, 2002 8:08:30 AM
"Not leaving without you." the gypsy girl says simply, as she dances her way at priest number 1. (miss and a crit failure! Ick, max damage if I hit myself or an ally)
Polaris Thursday January 3rd, 2002 3:26:17 PM
Polaris watches Miranna leave. She takes Becky's hand into hers. If she were of larger size she would carry her.
"Come with me, Becky. Everything will be alright love."
As she says these words, they start to walk quickly towards home. She worries about her brothers and sisters, but she knows she will be of best use now taking care of Becky.
Miranna Thursday January 3rd, 2002 7:50:30 PM
The urgency in Drew's shout makes Miranna quicken her steps. Drew appears to be telling the others to leave now. Perhaps they need a cover for their escape - one she can provide with her illusions.
As she rounds the corridor, Miranna mentally prepares to cast a Silent Image (Will save DC 16 to disbelieve if interacted with). Once she sees the others, she will shout to them to come to her, and make an illusory stone wall block the entire corridor behind them as she walks backwards to maintain her concentration on the spell. She will drop the spell and run once the others are out of the temple.
[If this can't be done this round, Miranna will do it next round.]
Plink d20+3=20 d6+2=4 Thursday January 3rd, 2002 8:14:52 PM
Plink, seeing that Drew seems to be having quite an easy time dispatching Guard #2, attempts to stab Guard #1, having drawn his rapier as he runs.
(Hit AC 20 for 4 points of damage)
DM Jan Friday January 4th, 2002 8:19:25 PM
Drew's next blow sends the Guard to the ground. There's no way he's getting up again. However, his momentum carries him into the path of Jez's knife which sinks into his arm for 5.
Tiree's assistance means that the man is now untied. He rises quickly and starts to run for it.
Plink stabs the stunned guard, who falls back. "To heck with all this," he mutters, and runs off.
Just inside the room, on the ground - are two gold masks, not like the others, they look to be masks of Caeroldra and look quite valuable.
The remaining priest shakes his fist and runs after the fleeing guard in an attempt to bring him back into the melee.
(Miranna - wall illusion next round)
Polaris is already walking quickly up the street, taking Becky away from the mayhem and back home.
Drew Saturday January 5th, 2002 1:18:10 PM
Drew grabs the two masks and makes a run for it. "Come on guys lets get the heck out of here."
Jezebella Sunday January 6th, 2002 7:06:55 AM
Jezebella follows Drew's lead, urging the others to leave, and retreating from the room. If she can do it with speed, now that subtlety is not an option, she snatches a handful of the potion bottles from the cabinet. She then tips the cabinet over, hoping to prevent the clergy from using any more of thier cursed masks. The gypsy girl races out to join the others after her vandalism.
Plink Sunday January 6th, 2002 6:44:16 PM
Plink, his face a sign of fear as he realizes what the group has just down, shudders and runs out after Drew. Adding theft to the list of murder and intrusion, it almost becomes too much for Plink to handle.
DM Jan Monday January 7th, 2002 8:47:52 PM
Everyone makes a run for it. Drew grabs the gold masks, and Jez manages to take three more potions.
They hear snippits of the cleric arguing with the remaining guard.... "No one told me about orcs!" "He's not an orc you dimwit! Half orc maybe, get back in there." "Half a one is still bad enough!...."
Everyone makes it back to the Orphanage and is met by a VERY nervous Drake. He hasn't told Flaust that Becky was missing, so when he sees her approaching with Pol, he almost starts sobbing with relief.
Those gold masks... oooh... might be able to fence them for about 400GP each.
