On the island: Exploring the southern trail

[SocraticLawyer]

OOC: How far is Sorel from the cave entrance?

OOC: approximately 75-80 feet west of the cave entrance

OOC: has Sorel given any indication that he is still alive? Cries of pain, movement, or the like? Ulrich doesn't want to risk another Fireball if Sorel is obviously beyond his ability to help...?

[Argennian]

OOC: has Sorel given any indication that he is still alive? Cries of pain, movement, or the like?

OOC: Ulrich cannot see any sign of Sorel and so unfortunately has no way of knowing his status. He could be hiding/playing dead, could be hurt or could be dead!

Ulrich doesn't want to risk another Fireball if Sorel is obviously beyond his ability to help...?

That certainly makes sense and I would be feeling the same hesitation were I in your shoes!

[SocraticLawyer]

Ulrich curses in Dwarven upon seeing the Fireball. He hesitates for the briefest of moments, but then stows his mace and runs out to where he last saw Sorel. If there is a chance Sorel is alive, I must try to save him, he thinks. At the least, I can draw this wizard's attention from the rest of the party.

OOC: If Ulrich can make it to Sorel this round, he will check to see if he is still alive. If so, he will begin casting CLW. If he can't make it there this round, he'll keep running and hope like heck that mage is out of Fireballs!

The Intruding Karagonian Soldier Contingent! Round 4 (TOD:0646)

Initiative Roll
Party Initiative (Round 4): [1d6] = 1
Soldiers: 4


~ The remaining soldier contingent takes control of the initiative bus...

"Stay where you are or I shall burn you all down!" decries a shrill voice from the next bluff above. Those looking up can see a previously-camouflaged and dark-clothed individual rise up from behind a bush to the right of where the trail arrives there and level a wand downward at the party...

Meanwhile, the severely-wounded, pin-cushioned and partially-entangled soldier (#2) at the front of the pole & wooden cage bus knows that Bogdan is mere moments away and with eyes wide, teeth gritted amd blood spurting everywhere, draws his hand-axe from his belt to try and fend off the big warrior's upcoming assault. The entangled soldier (#3) behind the pole cage struggles against his floral bonds and curses under his breath that he's got himself in a real shite sandwich!


~ It's the party's chance to act and they do so. Bogdan does not stop as directed from above and in fact never slows his full-impulse pace. When within weapon's range of soldier #2, the big fighter swings his coveted longsword, just missing the man but connecting with his crossbow hanging on its harness across his chest...
Bogdan: longsword damage vs crossbow: [1d8+6] = 5+6 = 11
... shattering the weapon in a spray of sparks and wood splinters that causes the loaded heavy bolt to fire off and fly errant into the hillside!

The gravely-wounded marine jerks back from the blow and swings his hand axe at the Half-orc swordsman but the chopping weapon bounces harmlessly off his banded armor...


Meanwhile, Emm has a Hotel Foxtrot Sierra moment and instantly gets sick to her stomach when she realizes she's a sitting duck out in the open with only her wooden shield for cover! The druidess quickly calculates that the distance to the bluff above must be somewhere @ 250 feet or so and well out of range of any spell that could be slung at the moment, so she begins to withdraw immediately for the cave below and only substantial cover from any more of the same incoming...

Behind her and off the trail to the east, Lauranna suddenly wonders if she was seen and quickly figures the same thing. The magic-user/thief utilizes the same covered route she did previously and begins to backtrack for the cover of the cave and blind spot where the bluff and hillside meet...

Back down on the bluff, Ulrich erupts from the cave entrance and turns west. The metal-armored cleric bravely runs towards Sorel's smoking position with the intent to deliver some healing, if'n it's not too late. He looks around the blast area through the smoke during his approach but so far sees no sign of the Half-elf easterner...

Back above in the entangled area, Bogdan smiles mercilessly at the poor, former-crossbow wielding and pole-carrying soldier's lame counterattack. He steps sideways to his left, to give himself more cover from above, and thrusts his thirsty longsword out in retort. The well cared for masterwork blade easily pierces the man's chain armor and runs him through all the way through to the hilt (11dam), quickly ending his last desperate moments and sending him off to whatever afterlife he imagined.

"AHH! Quit killing my men!" the angry wand-wielder erupts from above and fires off another blast. The fireball shoots out of the wand and with the same terrible drone, streaks down the hill and impacts almost the same spot (14dam*) where Sorel was and Ulrich has just arrived to. The dwarf can feel the blast of magical fire overcome him and braces himself to try and resist it's effects!

OOC: responding via PM

[tkrexx]

More shock registers on Emm's pale features as she witnesses yet another ball of flame envelope her friend and fellow Priest Ulrich. She pauses a few paces from the cave entrance and screams: STOP!! You want your men, I want mine. Yours are no more than hired thugs, Ulrich is a healer! He showed great courage, exposing himself to danger to assist a loyal friend, and you burn him! Allow me to save him, or we will kill every last man of yours we now have! Her dark, already angry eyes level like lasers at the wand wielding individual on the bluff above. Make no mistake, Sir, you are not in charge here, despite your wand. You felt the rumbling, yes? Soon the cauldron above us will shower this isle in scalding salt acid, and this entire archipelago will sink beneath the waves in fire. Will your fancy wand prevent this? I think not. I am the Druid of this Isle, I can prevent this. You know your fire cannot harm a Druid. But if you hurt my other friend, She nods her head toward Bog, You will never leave here. Besides, you and your men have overlooked the real treasure here, the egg! Pray to your heathen Gods my healer still lives, I would see to him now. DECIDE!

Ooc: how far away is the character with the wand? Is he reachable by foot?

[Argennian]

Ooc: how far away is the character with the wand? Is he reachable by foot?

OOC: The wand-wielding individual is at the next small bluff or ledge above the one where most of the party is at present. That's a distance of @ 200 feet from Bog's current position and @ 280-300 feet from the cave bluff.

Here is a descriptor of this side of the hill/crater that details the lower bluff with the cave and approximate distances to the small bluff & crater above:

Description of the small bluff: shaped mostly like a half-circle with the lower cliffs on the northern edge being the straight line and the trail coming up to it on the southern side (at @ the 6 o'clock position); the bluff is @ 140-150 feet wide (east to west) and @ 60 feet long (north to south from trail-head to cave entrance). There are a plenty of small bushes and a few thickets and small trees here and there on the bluff. The trail continues up to the left side (west) of the cave entrance and proceeds to ascend in a mostly z-shape as it did before. Another 250-300 feet up looks to be a ledge or perhaps another small bluff. About 500+ feet up (200-250' above the ledge or next small bluff), is the outer edge of the crater at the center of the island. The cliffs gets very steep there and would appear to be hard to traverse without mountaineering gear.

Save for half damage? (10) [1d20] = 8

OOC: responding via PM

Ummm... Did you account for your defensive bonus from DEX? That also counts when making saving throws vs. things like fireballs. Also, should be a save vs. wands and not magic, as the caster is using a wand.

[Nuke66]

Lauranna begins to move upward, taking advantage of line-of-sight, available cover and Emm's verbal distraction until she reaches the first switchback. She pauses to look up and see if she can make it to the next cliff wall unobserved.

[tkrexx]

Did you account for your defensive bonus from DEX?

Remember also a Dwarf gets extra bonus on saves vs any sort of magic/poison.

[Argennian]

OOC: just wanted to advise that I finally got around to answering the saving throw questions and points of order that were brought up here over in the OOC/Questions? thread: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3130&start=100#p219412

Looking like Ulrich just missed that save, but as I stated in the post, I'm absolutely willing (and wanting!) to be corrected there!


~ So looking like we just need a Declared Action from SL for Ulrich for the next round to resolve the action!

[SocraticLawyer]

Ulrich is obviously injured from the Fireball, but has seen worse days. With no way of neutralizing the wand-user, and not wanting to risk another Fireball, he plays along with Emm's ruse.

Ulrich groans loudly, stumbling over towards Emm, feigning more pain than he feels.

OOC: Sorry for the delay!!

The Intruding Karagonian Soldier Contingent! Round 5 (TOD:0647)

Initiative Roll
Party Initiative (Round 5) [1d6] = 1
Soldiers: 2


~ The party is horrified to see another fireball launched and then land on the dwarf cleric, especially as it seemed he was bravely running out to render aid to one of his fellows for taking the previous one. The members of the Island Hands wait to see the results. When the mushroom cloud of smoke clears and the dust settles, Ulrich is alive! He's still conscious and even standing, but does appear injured and greatly staggered from the magical blast. There's still no sign of Sorel...

The shrill voice of the dark figure bounds down the hillside again as he continues to point his wand at the party. "I told everyone to stay where they are and I bloody meant it! Hold your positions and cease all hostilities towards my men, or by Dagda, I'll burn the whole lot of you!!"

A screaming response comes from Emm before she's even recovered from the shock of seeing another one her friends blasted by the fireball...

"STOP!! You want your men, I want mine. Yours are no more than hired thugs, Ulrich is a healer! He showed great courage, exposing himself to danger to assist a loyal friend, and you burn him! Allow me to save him, or we will kill every last man of yours we now have!"

The dark adversary above does not immediately respond, perhaps surprised or at least stunned into consideration by Emm's declaration. Ulrich turns to head back the way he came, groaning and stumbling in the remnants of smoke whisking around the impact zone in the gentle westerly breeze...

Lauranna tries to take advantage of the distraction to climb back up the hillside but it appears the wand-wielder above has seen her attempt.
"I told everyone to stay where they are!!" he screams and levels the wand of deadly, magical fire in the High-elf magic-user/thief's direction...

His fiery threat is responded to by Lauranna diving back under cover and Emm's continued declarations. The druidess stares back up at him as she speaks, her dark, angry eyes leveled like laser beams of death magic...

Make no mistake, Sir, you are not in charge here, despite your wand. You felt the rumbling, yes? Soon the cauldron above us will shower this isle in scalding salt acid, and this entire archipelago will sink beneath the waves in fire. Will your fancy wand prevent this? I think not. I am the Druid of this Isle, I can prevent this. You know your fire cannot harm a Druid. But if you hurt my other friend," She nods her head toward Bog, "You will never leave here. Besides, you and your men have overlooked the real treasure here, the egg! Pray to your heathen Gods my healer still lives, I would see to him now. DECIDE!

The dark-clothed figure does not immediately respond. Bogdan huddles behind the entangled soldier and pole-suspended wooden cage in silent consideration as the grasses, weeds and other scrubby flora within the spell's effects continue to writhe about them in search of something more to grab hold off. The magically-held marine continues to struggle ineffectually and looks with wide-eyed fear at the somehow-unrestrained, big metal-armored Half-orc less than two feet away. His masterwork longsword covered in dripping Karagonian military blood, Bog looks back at him and inside the cage for a moment before, as if on cue, the island begins to shake again!

This latest tremor in the ongoing island shaking is longer than the last one and ends with a noticeably stronger jolt. In fact, anyone standing has to grab onto something or check themselves from loosing their footing as small boulders, dirt and stones are jolted loose to tumble and slide down the hillside. The dark figure above falls to a crouch to keep up and aimed on target but eventually turns around to look behind him. Again, as if on cue, more white steam and smoke emanates into the cool morning air and this time from somewhere that looks to be much closer inside the massive crater...

The darkened wand shooter above jumps to his feet, and after making sure no one's moved and nothing new in the threat department has appeared, takes another quick look behind him.

"Say I believe you," he calls down in response, "You let my men go and we'll leave this place!"

With his wand still leveled, the man then begins to head down the z-shaped trail as if to descend, and calls out again. "What say you?!"




Actions?

Questions?

****************************************************

OOC: no need to roll initiative, as hostilities in the ongoing encounter have stopped, at least for the moment. That being said, it would seem more action could pop off at any moment, so please be sure take that into consideration!

~ Please post any declared actions if not holding your current position and we'll proceed with the ongoing encounter! At current movement, it would take the wand-wielding baddie @ 2 rounds to reach the trail just above the entanglement area!


Damage taken by party:
- Sorel: 39 damage?? (from 2 fireballs?!)
- Ulrich: 7 damage* (saved for half of 14 damage from 2nd fireball!)

Damage taken by opponents:
- Fleeing soldier #1: KIAed with 31 points of weapon damage (from Bog & Ulrich)
- Fleeing soldier #2: KIAed with 30 points damage (Sorel's 2 arrows & Bog's longsword)
- Fleeing soldier #3: none & completely entangled (by Emm's spell)
- Dark-clothed baddie with wand descending from next bluff above: none

Positioning:
Bogdan: @ 80 feet up the trail next to dead soldier #1, & also behind the wooden cage & soldier #3 (entangled)
Caelvanna: ???? (should be in cover on the eastern edge of the bluff)
Emm: @ 10 feet from the cave & bluff looking up with laser beam eyes!
Lauranna: back in cover again at where the bluff & hillside meet, just east of the cave entrance
Ulrich: stumbling back & @ halfway between the west side of bluff & the cave
Sorel: ???? (still in the now 2 fireballs-charred bushes at the western side of the bluff??)
Cutler:???? (supposed to be down covering the party's back trail & the cove)
-
Wand-wielding baddie: @ 25-30' down the trail leaving the small bluff above. (so @ 175-180 feet from Bog's position & 250-260 feet from the cave bluff)

POP: Nuke: the wand-wielding soldier above noticed Lauranna's attempt to move away from cover, so I took it upon myself to think that, realizing this, she'd likely not want to tempt him and return to cover. Hope that sits okay with you, bro?

[Alethan]

Bog eyes the man with the wand, the two owlets in the cage, and the entangled soldier.

Then he pulls the man's sword from its sheath and uses it to begin cutting the vines from his legs.

"Ye got one more unconscious one in the cave. We will both go get him once you are free. Slowly, and without your sword."

[tkrexx]

Emm wants to say, "DUH!"
I WANT you to leave! The Druid, angry, but speaking in a slow, deliberate tone answers, her eyes never moving away from the dark figure above. I have tried, these past days, to gently persuade you invaders this is not a healthy place to be, but you are stubborn in your greed. She intentionally says no more about the egg, as it is clear the man is concentrating on his own life. Leave here, now, and take nothing with you. The snared man will remain with us, as a hostage, until we are certain you intend to leave without further hostility. Time becomes short, Sir, and you are standing in my way. Emm realizes Lauranna has been spotted, so she can only hope Caelvanna, Sorel and good Cutler are well-positioned.

[Nuke66]

"Damn" is all Lauranna says. She stays put, still looking for an opportunity....

[SocraticLawyer]

Ulrich stays where he is at this point. He doesn't want to get too close to Emm or any of his other companions, for fear of presenting too tempting a target to the wand-wielder. He tries to ignore his injuries and focus on developing an exit strategy.

Many thanks to Alethan for pointing out that Ulrich actually made his saving throw! I had forgotten about the DEX bonus and that the save was vs. wands, not spells. Thanks!!

[Argennian]

The Intruding Karagonian Soldier Contingent! Round 6 (TOD:0648)

~ The dark-clothed wand-wielder offers terms to the island druid for the peaceful departure of he and his men whilst he continues to make his way down the trail. White smoke and steam rises ominously into the air from the island's great volcanic crater above, much more than before...

Emm cries out that's exactly what she wants of the island invaders, her angry, watery eyes maintaining a most malevolent lock on the man as he descends...

... I have tried, these past days, to gently persuade you invaders this is not a healthy place to be, but you are stubborn in your greed... Leave here, now, and take nothing with you. The snared man will remain with us, as a hostage, until we are certain you intend to leave without further hostility. Time becomes short, Sir, and you are standing in my way.

The wand-man makes it to the first switchback and crouches down as Emm finishes dictating her terms. He does not immediately respond, deciding first to look back at the smoke and steam in the air above him whilst he thumbs what seems to be a necklace or amulet around his neck...

Meanwhile, over at the wooden pole suspended birdcage, Bogdan assesses the dark figure above before turning once again to view the cage cargo and finally the entangled marine. The magically held-fast man has stopped struggling against his floral ensnarement and simply stares at the big fighter to see what he's going to do next. Bog pulls the man's longsword from it's sheath and begins using it to chop away at the grasping weeds and grasses holding him firmly in place, realizing he'll have to carry him out of the magical effects of the druid's spell.
As he works to free the man, the Half-orc explains they have one of his mates unconscious down in the cave and that they're going to go collect him together, detailing he is to do so in a slow, deliberate and weaponless manner. The man nods message received and understood.

"Agreed!" the wand-wielder exalts from above and begins to move down the trail, leaving the switchback and hustling with more urgency, his wand is still to hand...

Meanwhile back down on the bluff, Lauranna keeps low and tight to the hillside just east of the cave entrance, cursing about the lack of better cover and not wanting to make herself a target for the wand wielder again. Further west of the trail and cave, Ulrich halts his staggering progress when about halfway between the western edge of the bluff and the cave entrance, so as not to be too close to his mates should more fireballs begin to rain down and he offer the wand-wielder a free two-fer. The dwarf continues to act more wounded than he is and waits to see how the encounter will develop...

Emm herself is still within 10 feet (west) of the cave entrance where the trail meets the bluff, her eyes focused on her adversary above when suddenly she feels the impact of magic upon her from behind! Lauranna also feels the magical effect hit her as well, and both her and Ulrich suddenly see a dark-clothed, chain-armored individual standing on the far southern end of the bluff facing them and finishing a motion with his hands...


****************************************************

*** Need a Saving Throw vs Spell (at a -1 penalty) for Emm & Lauranna here! ***

*** Also need a d6 initiative roll and Declared Actions for Round 7, please! ***


OOC: alrighty then, good people!

~ Opted not to roll for surprise here as the party was in DefCon1 mode when the newly-arrived baddie appeared. So even though only Lauranna & Ulrich first see him appear, Emm will have felt his spell hit her and Bog will quickly know something's going on!

- Dark-clothed baddie with wand descending from next bluff above: none
- Newly-arrived dark-clothed/armored baddie on south edge of bluff (casting a spell): none
(* enough flora was hacked away that he'll get a new saving throw to see if he's still entangled or can move at 1/2 rate)

Positioning:
Bogdan: @ 80 feet up the trail next to dead soldier #1, & also behind the wooden cage & soldier #3 (entangled)
Caelvanna: ???? (should be in cover on the eastern edge of the bluff)

Sorel: ???? (still in the now 2 fireballs-charred bushes at the western side of the bluff??)
Cutler:???? (supposed to be down covering the party's back trail & the cove)

- Wand-wielding baddie: @ 65-70 feet down the trail leaving the small bluff above. (so @ 135-140 feet from Bog's position & 210-220 feet from the cave bluff)
