Return To The Ruins (Warlords Palace)

[Monsieur Rose]

Kainaxarthos

"But...how would he row?" Kain trots after Sik, pulled in by his urgency. "You'll need light. I'm coming."

Belloc

slings a rock at the escaping dwarf



OOC:his hands are tied right?

[silifi]

Kainaxarthos

"But...how would he row?" Kain trots after Sik, pulled in by his urgency. "You'll need light. I'm coming."

"You willing to bet our only means of getting out of here on the strength of the knot?" Sik shouts behind him as he rushes after the dwarf.

[OGRE MAGE]

Shouldn't we all be faster than a dwarf with his hands tied? or are these faster than the normal variety?

Bad phrasing on my part.

I didn’t mean to make it sound like Drest was the only one who could pursue.

Anyone can join the chase. (or attempt a missile attack)

[shaidar]

Xenos picks himself up and runs after the dwarf.

[Karaunios]

Akhilleus

"Damit! He must be stopped! I'll stay here and mount guard in case any of the others come."

[Ahlmzhad]

Taibhse

If he has a clear shot will take one with his bow.

Bow Shot [1d20]=4, Damage [1d6]=2

The dwarf, its hands still tied, continues to run out of the cave and into the darkness. One by one the party members give chase, trying to take the thing down, but one by one they miss the mark, falling flat on their faces when the attempt to dive at their prey. Belloc gets a good slingshot off that hits the thing in the back as it flees, slowing it somewhat as the arrow fired by Taibhse flies off harmlessly into the darkness. The chase can certainly continue, but at the moment, those who are pursuing are becoming separated from the folks who didn't give chase. Kain reluctantly follows with his torch to help light the way.

Ceana tells Akhilleus to lead on. Akhilleus lets the others know he is standing guard where he is. Cyril? Undecided.

Drest

Drest will continue to chase him.

If he gets a chance to take him down:

Overbear [1d20]=8

[silifi]

Sik is getting sick of missing the dwarf, and decides to kill him instead.

To hit: [1d20+2]=7+2=9 (THAC0:19), damage with battle axe: [1d10+2]=3+2=5
To hit: [1d20+2]=20+2=22 (THAC0:19), damage with battle axe: [1d10+2]=10+2=12

(I assume I can do two attacks this round with battle axe mastery?)

[Karaunios]

Akhilleus "Getting separated is not a good idea. Ceana, Cyril, let's wait here for the others until they come back. That dwarf won't be able to take our boat and cross the river with his hands fettered... Hopefully."

[hedgeknight]

Ceana

The druid sighs as she watches the others give chase. "Yoon'Deh help us! We should have just killed it while we could have. Now..." she sighs heavily again.

[The_Wanderer]

Cyril

"I'm happy to stay here and wait. I'm pretty sure Sik is going to kill that thing anyway. What do you suppose we should do with the maggot in that case? I can't see myself killing it outright. Somehow I'd be ok with just leaving it here unattended though."

[Monsieur Rose]

Kainaxarthos

He continues the chase, the torchlight bouncing along with him.

[shaidar]

Xenos

Seeing Sik attack the dwarf then Xenos will do the same if he catches up with it:

Scimitar (long): to-hit [1d20+2]=19+2=21, damage [1d8+3]=2+3=5

The bound dwarf jukes and jives as he runs away, the party diving for his legs, but still unable to catch the evasive creature.

Sik gets mad enough to howl, finally throwing his battle ax through the air, sticking it right into the dwarfs back, knocking it to the ground in a violent fashion. Xenos runs up to finish the job, putting the suddenly paralyzed brute out of its misery by ending its life right there on the shore of the underground river.

The remainder of the group still in the caves are not confronted by any threats while the others eliminate the possibility of anything else being roused by the runner.

[Rex]

Drest

"Job well done. Now we can get back to exploring."

Drest will move back to take point in the exploration.

[Ahlmzhad]

Taibhse

Losing sight of the fleeing dwarf Taibhse will stow his bow and pick his torch back up. Taking time to check out the chamber there in while he waits for the others to return.

[Monsieur Rose]

Kainaxarthos

"Well, then. Good work and all that. What was his plan, I wonder?" Kain bends down to recover his cord binding the dwarfs hands in the torchlight.

"Onward?"

[OGRE MAGE]

Are we finishing up in the dwarf cave?

Or moving along the bank of the river where the dwarf was running?
