Up on the roof -
A final blow to Bowman #2 from Vauhwyt, and the the man slumps lifeless on the roof tiles. Poor old Bowman #1 - even though he manages to dodge the liontaur's punch, gets stabbed by arrow and rapier, courtesy of Devlin and Zayne. He drops into the alley below - dead.
The alley contains barrels, which will help the climb down.
On the street -
Ba'Bac feels the group's wrath, as Vorelle scores a nasty hit with her axe, and Olyn steps forward to weild a formidable blow of his own. Half orc blood begins to flow.
With an angry howl - Ba'Bac launches into Vorelle with his longsword - missing wildly. (Dang)
Meanwhile, back at the smithy, Theo can hear bodies slumping, and howls of pain and rage. How were his friends faring? What was going on? He might remember earlier - back at the Docks - he hadn't been afraid then, oh no - and he'd thrown quite a punch at their assailants, and one might well wonder... how effective that stack of horse shoes next to the anvil would fare - if they were thrown....
Vorelle [Blessed, AC 15] d20+5=11 d6+1=2 Friday September 26th, 2003 2:31:13 AM
Vorelle chops at Ba'Bac again, but her aim is off (hits AC 11, would do 2 points damage but probably misses).
rose d20+3=12 d4+2=5 Friday September 26th, 2003 4:02:11 AM
rose tries to get back into the fight, trying to dodge around cade who so nicely tried to protect her.
attack: 12 damage: 5
Cade (Blessed, AC 15, 1/6 HP) d20+3=12 d6+1=5 d6=3 Friday September 26th, 2003 5:59:09 AM
Staggered from the wound from Ba'Bac, Cade finally recovers. Attempting to return to the fray, he again lunges at the half-orc with an inaccurate thrust of his rapier (Attack roll 13, with bless and flanking).
(If hit AC 13, hit for 8 damage with a sneak attack due to flanking)
Vauhwyt (HP12, AC18, Blessed) d20+2=5 d20+5=22 d20+4=19 d20+7=9 d4+2=4 Friday September 26th, 2003 6:18:37 AM
"Zayne," Vauhwyt quickly says, "The combat below is too thick for arrows! Please stay here, bind bowman wounds, tie them up!"
Then the liontaur climbs down to the alley. Her climbing is as poor going down as it was good going up! [climb check 5!] She falls! But she rolls and lands on her feet unharmed! [tumble check 22 to treat a fall as ten feet less than it was]
Down in the alley, Vauhwyt shouts, "Take him alive! Subdue him!"
[With all this so far, I'm not sure Vauhwyt can make an attack. But if she can, here is what she does.]
The liontaur maneuvers around the half-orc into flanking position, pretending to try to tumble and fail. In other words, she deliberately opens herself up to an attack of opportunity, hoping desperately that the half-orc will take her gambit and try to make an attack of opportunity!
Then (hopefully after surviving an attack of opportunity) Vauhwyt moves in to grapple! Usually a grapple would provoke an attack of opportunity, but the liontaur hopes that the half-orc already took his best shot as she maneuvered and so he will not get a second attack of opportunity to thwart her grapple! (You can only take one attack of opportunity per round unless you have the combat reflexes feat).
To grapple, Vauhwyt makes her melee touch attack. She tries to grab the half-orc, and grabs up to AC 19!
Then she tries to get a hold. Her opposed grapple check is (str+BAB+special size mod+bless) is 9 (bleck). If Ba'Bac's opposed grapple check wins, the grapple fails. If his check loses, then Vauhwyt does 4 hp subdual damage and grapples him.
[OOC: While grappling, Ba'Bac loses his dex AC bonus against attacks from others. That's only if he fails to beat Vauhwyt's opposed grapple check of 9.]
Olyn (ac18. 11hp, Bless) d20+2=20 d8+2=7 Friday September 26th, 2003 8:15:32 AM
knowing full well that if the half orc is taken alive, that there is a chance he might escape to do more harm, and right now, in his opinion, his death would serve a greater good, Olyn continues in his awnslaught.
sidestepping to the right 5 feet to be flanking him with Vauhwyt, giving her the opportunity of flanking, Olyn raises his Morningstar yet again. with a hefty grunt and sweat flying Olyn again brings his weapon of destruction down upon the half orc, smiling when he hears the tell tale sign of bone crushing and blood splattering.
*hit ac21 (again, forgot to add +1 for Bless)* *damage of 7*
Zayne(Ac 17,blessed,Hp 1/10 d20+1=19 d6=2 Friday September 26th, 2003 11:39:33 AM
Ingoring Vauhwyt's instructions, Zayne sprint's to the ledge and fins his quarry, seeing Ba'Bac then flinging himself from the rooftop.(jump 19 falling damage 2,ooc I am assuming that the rooftop is around 10' up)
Landing with an audible grunt, he drops his bow and grimly repalces it with his axe.
Theodore Friday September 26th, 2003 12:35:58 PM
The young mage decides to creep up to the smithy door and peer around, keeping most of his body hid, to see what's going on outside.
Devlin (AC 17, HP 12/12, Blessed) d20+3=12 d6+2=8 Friday September 26th, 2003 2:01:36 PM
With the fall of the two bowmen on the roof, Devlin sheaths his rapier and looks to follow Vauhwyt off the roof and down to the street to engage BaBac. He rushes forward to take up a position to further surround the villian and offer him no opportunity to escape. Believing as the liontaur does that they need him alive, he keeps his rapier sheathed and uses his buckler in an effort to bash the half-orc into submission.
(climb check from previous post: 16 attack: 13 with bless damage: 8 Wasn't sure about the damage using a shield so I used 1d6. I couldn't find anywhere what to use so if someone knows, please enlighten me. Thanks.)

Things start to happen thick and fast.
Vorelle, Rose and Cade attempt to bring down their rascally prey - missing with their weapons as the half orc, inspired by pure reflex, lurches away, as suddenly - Vauhwyt, Devlin and a bloodied Zayne (looking worse than Cade) drop to the street from the roof above.
Surrounded - Ba'Bac snarls defiantly.
Two buildings away, Theodore is just in time to see the rest of the group surround their quarry, and watch as Olyn's morningstar goes CLONK - on the half orc's head.
"Uhhhh," grunts Ba'Bac, dropping down unconscious, and bleeding badly.
The streetlamps flicker, and the sound of an approaching carriage can be heard.
Vorelle d20+7=26 Monday September 29th, 2003 2:09:40 AM
Vorelle knows how important it is to keep Ba'Bac alive, so she immediately takes out her healer's kit. She tries to stop the bleeding and stabilize the half-orc.
[Heal check 26]
Olyn d20+2=18 Monday September 29th, 2003 8:44:09 AM
upon watching the half orc slump onto the street, Olyn turns to the others and says: quick, retrieve the other 2, and their belongings. (pulling a large bag out of his pack and holding it out) put their stuff that can fit in this including his stuff, (pointing to Ba'Bac).
hearing the sound of the carriage approaching, Olyn turns and continues: quickly now, there may be more. until we are ready to depart we need 2 archers back up on the roof, 2 here with me to watch the comings and goings on this street and Vauhwyt, you help tie up the half orc and stand guard as Vorelle stabilizes him.
Zarne d20+4=11 d20+4=5 d20+5=23 d20+1=4 Monday September 29th, 2003 1:26:04 PM
Putting his axe away, and picking up his bow,"I'll stay down here."
Quickly checking the area(spot 11 listen 5) he goes to hide(hide 23) in the deep shadows where he can get a clean shot if needed.
Giving the wound in his side a quick glance(heal 4) it's plain that this wound is beyond his ability.
Theodore d20+1=9 Monday September 29th, 2003 1:26:40 PM
Theodore sees the fight end and hears the distant carriage. Thinking fast, he races from the smithy past the group and towards the oncoming carriage.
The teenage wizard stops in front of the carriage waving his hands wildly. "Please, help!! My mother is in labor and I need to find the nearest temple right away!!" (bluff check = 9)
If those with the carriage don't believe him, he casts ghost sound from a nearby dark alley to sound like a woman moaning in pain.
Cade d20+7=17 d20+3=18 Monday September 29th, 2003 1:28:24 PM
Staggering from his wounds, but hearing Olyn's words and the approaching carriage, Cade attempts to slink off into the shadows on the side of the street (hide check 17) and keeps an eye open, watching the street for others (spot check 18).
Devlin (AC 18, HP 12/12) d20-1=4 Monday September 29th, 2003 3:03:59 PM
Seeing the others staying down on the ground and recognizing the wisdom in having someone up above to offer support, Devlin quickly heads to the building across the street and attempts to climb to the roof once again (climb check = 4). He finds the going much more difficult this time and manages to slip and fall to the ground once again.
Vauhwyt d20+1=16 Monday September 29th, 2003 4:16:39 PM
Hearing the carriage as she watches Vorelle's good work on the orc, Vauhwyt decides that it would be better for the group in the alley to stay out of sight. She moves a barrel and tries to get herself and the half orc under cover (Hide Check 16).
Hearing Theodore's efforts at distraction, she thinks, "Good idea! Maybe that will help!"
If she has a time left, and can do so quietly under cover, the liontaur will get rope, a hammer, five pitons, and a block and tackle out of her pack. A cruel smile begins to tug at the corners of her mouth, and the claws on her forepaws begin to flex and extend.
