*Combat: Chapter 1* Finished
« on: July 16, 2013, 01:31:41 PM »
(( OOC  http://pyromancers.com/media/view/main.swf?round_id=37521  alright here is the map via pyromancers. the avatars are crap, if you want a custom one provide me with a link in the ooc chat.
k room layout, back behind you is the short wide door, the hole in the middle is the stairs leading down to snorri's study. that circle in the corner is where snorri was doing his rituals.
this map was supposed to have a location grid on it.. but i guess it didn't copy sorry. each hex is 5ft. the little box looking things are the pillars, which angle up and curve into the middle of the room, over the stairs.
the dude you just glitterdusted is the one up on the top side.
mercutio, bottom left dude.
alphonse, front left infront of phaedrus
riek, back right

 whats the DC to save for the blindness? should be 16 unless i calculated it wrong.
k give me initiative rolls please, we can keep RPing things out, but if you initiate combat we will defer to the initiatives   ))

As Mercutio launches his glittery magic into the corner you hear someone begin to have a coughing fit. The outline of a humanoid comes into view. You see a man, about 5'ft tall. He is wearing leather armor, he has a short sword on his waist, and a small crossbow hanging from his belt. In his left hand you see a exquisite looking dagger. Flowing runes are etched into its curving blade and filled with ruby dust, making them glisten like wet blood. The hilt is wrapped in strange, bumpy and coarse leather, probably the hide of a mind flayer. The end of the pommel features a large ruby in a steel setting. The side of the guard facing the blade is forged to resemble the face of a hissing vampire.
*caugh caugh* Alright alright!! The man hisses. He sheathes his dagger and begins to try and wipe away the glitter from his eyes. He spits on the floor. I was just playin around anyways....
As his dagger goes back into the sheath, the bloodthirsty feeling that was hanging in the air dwindles. You no longer feel the strange sensation if impending doom. The man stands there with his hands on his knee's, hunched over and blowing snot out of his nose and onto the ground.

((OOC: whoops I totally forgot to post a picture of this guy in my last post. This is him, although the weapons aren't quite right you get the idea, he is a bit scary looking and his skin is ghastly white.))
(click to show/hide)

Heh... haha.. hahahaaaha. He lets out a rather maniacal laugh as he finishes blowing his nose. He wipes his hands on his armor as he stands back up straight. You don't know who I am? He looks you all over for a moment, he moves his left hand to rest on the hilt of his Dagger. Hmmm, ya none of you look familiar either. He spits one more time onto the floor before making eye contact with each of you individually.
Silence hangs in the air. Things feel a bit tense as the man watches you're ever move. He looks at you like a hungry cat looks at a mouse. Although that strange sensation you felt is no longer present, you can't help but feel like you shouldn't let you guard down.
Heh.. why so tense fellas? An odd grin spreads across his face.

((ooc: go ahead and give me a knowledge local roll, or perhaps a Int check? You're rolling to remember something. also feel free to make any other rolls you want.))

Sir, you are caught red-handed in a restricted area with your weapons drawn.  Identify yourself and explain what business you have here immediately.  Continue to be uncooperative, and things will not go pleasantly for you.

Alphonse studies the now revealed man.  He looks familiar, but at the same time unfamiliar.

As the roar of his horn begins to die down, and his allies weapons erupt into flames, Mercutio's face pales a bit. He begins to rub his side unconsciously and says "You! I... I know you... but... how? That dagger..."

Then he shakes his head, and unfurls his wings to their full width and suddenly he becomes MUCH more ominous than you remembered him being. In a terrifying voice he says "I WILL DRAG THE ANSWERS OUT OF YOUR SCREAMING SOUL, YOU CANKEROUS RETCH! PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOOOOOOOM!"]

(click to show/hide)

Then he says quietly to his comrades "Let me try to Charm him first, but get ready to pounce on him if it fails..."

(OOC: Updated map and avatar (I chose the one that looks like a dragonborn instead of the one I linked earlier). Since he can draw a weapon as part of movement, he'll move and draw his whip instead of moving. I hadn't looked at the map, and didn't know he was that far away from the dude.

And next round I plan to cast Charm Person on him while his saves are (hopefully) at -10. So please delay/ready your actions till after I go again. Or at least don't attack him till I do that. OK? :P )

Riek waits for Mercutio's spell to take effect before deciding to attack or not.

Mercutio unfurls his wings and grows dark. He musters his strength and shouts in a wicked voice at the pale stranger. The man reels back and takes a few steps to his side. His glare switches back and forth between the group, like he can't decide which sheep looks the tastiest. He draws out his dagger, the screaming vampire face on the hilt stirring unknown feelings of terror within you.
He rushes forward at Mercutio, who with his superb reflexes flicks his whip at the mans weapon. Unfortunately though it gets batted aside easily. The pale stranger closes the gap almost instantly between himself and Mercutio. He bury's the strange Dagger deep into the dragonborn's ribs.
The blade slips easily between the ribs, sending a searing pain deep into your chest. But suddenly it feels like shards of ice are shooting through your body with every heart beat. What seems like an eternity is only the blink of an eye. The horrific dagger is withdrawn from your torso, and you see a look of pain on the strangers face as well.

Alphonse takes a moment to put away his sword; he won't be needing it if his idea works out.  Taking a deep breath, he takes a running step towards the attacker before suddenly vanishing.  Half a heartbeat later, Alphonse reappears, 10 feet in the air above the pale-skinned man!  He lets out a bellowing cry as he falls, attempting to bury his foe beneath his weight.

Oh, and new map.  At this point, I believe Alphonse is in the 5' square directly above Paleface, but that's going to change by the end of my turn.  Either they'll be sharing a space, or I'll land in an adjacent 5' square.

Riek breathes deep and enters a peaceful state. His eyes fixed at his target. His left foot quickly slides a short distance to the front turning his body sideways but never losing line of sight to the pale man. There's a faint flash of light when he throws an arrow made of distiled psychic energy. And when the arrow leaves his hand, his gaze is disturbed and the peace in his eyes is not there anymore as he charges the arrow with even more psychic energy.

((You guys all have an extra 4d6 fire damage on your attacks.))

Will save (if this has to be made after the Con damage, reduce the roll by 2)
Rolled 1d20+8 : 13 + 8, total 21



Mercutio's face pales as the blade draws much more blood from him than it should, and unfamiliar memories wheel through his head. He does his best to fight off the mental and physical assault. Then his voice changes from the dark tones it had to being as sweet as honeyed mead, and he says "Let's talk about this. We don't have to fight."

((He uses his Soothing Voice ability to affect the man with Calm Emotions. The will save DC is the diplomacy check below: ))
Diplomacy
Rolled 1d20+15 : 13 + 15, total 28


Then he flies up out of reach of the man's dagger, drops his whip while putting his horn to his lips again, and blows.

Tumble
Rolled 1d20+3 : 6 + 3, total 9


((2 more uses of bardic music: 1 for +4 attack and damage to all allies, the other for Soothing Voice.))

((ooc: wow crit. ok il assume you guys want to just count crits as a auto success instead of rolling to confirm? We can do either.. but I think for the simplicity of PbP we should just count crits and multiply as needed.
So that means you took 8 dmg, and 4 points of con. Don't forget that technically lowers your base hp..   :devil ))


Alphonse leaps into the air and teleports above the pale ones head. As he comes crashing down onto the man he trys frantically to take hold of him and constrict his movements. The Pale stranger is quick though, unnaturally so. The stranger thrusts the fearsome dagger into the upper leg of Alphonse as he is falling, he then uses Alphonse's own momentum to throw him onto the ground off to the side.
Suddenly a flash of light shoots across the room as Riek unleashes a psychic blast onto the stranger. It slams into him hard, the fire blackening his skin. The Stranger crys out in pain as he instinctively rubs the spots still burning with tiny flames.

Mercutio jumps into the air. Then his voice changes from the dark tones it had to being as sweet as honeyed mead, and he says "Let's talk about this. We don't have to fight."

The Pale stranger stops hissing, his demeanor immediately changes. Though still cringing with pain, a slow smile beings to creep across his face. You're right of course... we don't have to fight. But.. it is so much fun. Don't you agree? He says the words quietly, as he slowly puts away his dagger. His hand never leaves the hilt though.
