Audric's eyes go wide and he curses under his breath when the girl jumps at Llaars. "Damnation.". He turns to the druid, speaking urgently "Rana, my sword, and the symbol of Aldaran. Do you have them?"

Audric's eyes go wide and he curses under his breath when the girl jumps at Llaars. "Damnation.". He turns to the druid, speaking urgently "Rana, my sword, and the symbol of Aldaran. Do you have them?"
"Oh. Um, yes, sorry. Here."
OOC: err...I was assuming that Antal had taken them to give you after you left the healer's. If that's not the case, I guess I held onto them...
SpoilerOOC: Well, he's going with what Antal told him, which is that Rana had them. If Ajadea is alright with it, we can go with that. Do we have to wait for our respective turns in order for me to take them from you? (:thog:: Situation confuses newbie. Newbie still not all familiar with rules. :smalltongue:)
SpoilerWell, since we both have abysmal initiatives maybe we can argue that our conversation was going on while Llaars went into the house, and that's why we were so slow to react.
Rowan dives at the girl without really thinking, more than slightly panicked, and tries to pull her off Llaars.
SpoilerSo Rowan's going to keep making grapple checks for a while, trying to pin the girl. I believe her Str was 14 or 15 - my sheet's still down. And she had full BAB.
So…grapple vs. Ranias…[roll0]
Opposed: [roll0]
You join the grapple with ease.
Now, Llaars roll a grapple check versus pinning.
"Don't get bit! This girls a lunatic!" He grunts and attempts to pin the girls arms behind her back.
SpoilerGrapple: [roll0]
You try to grab her arm, but miss. She slams into you and knocks you down, pinning you.
His jaw drops in surprise when the much smaller girl takes him down so easily. "Okay, now I gotta hurt ya!"
SpoilerGrapple to break pin: [roll0]
Also the mighty boast ability only gives +1 to attacks and damage but if you rule that applies, then he'll activate it here as a swift action. In that case add another +1 to the roll.
EDIT: And once more the tiny girl manages to out-wrestle a 200lb man... :smallbiggrin:
[roll0] I'm gonna rule that, since you're the one escaping, it doesn't work.
*kicks the thread* Antal's turn.
SpoilerSorry, lost track of turn order.
Not sure what to do, and with nothing witty to say, Antal pulls out his short sword and stabs the girl.
Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]
Antal's short sword stabs into her thigh, cutting deep. Black blood wells up out of the wound, dripping on the floor.
Audric's Turn.
Audric takes his longsword and holy symbol from Rana, feeling better just by having the familiar silver amulet around his neck, then moves into the house, thinking of helping Rowan in pulling the girl away from Llaars, as he still doesn't feel confortable in attacking her.
"Antal..." don't kill her he wants to say, but when he stabs her, he notices the black substance is her blood and stops, startled.
((I think that counts as a free action, so if I can [roll0]))
Audric
Spoiler
Undead don't bleed like humans, though their blood is that color....Not quite human, not quite undead, but something in between. That's what she is. Some sort of abomination, hovering between undeath and life for reasons you do not know.
Rana's turn.
Rana hands off the paladin's things willingly - it's not stuff she'd normally be carrying around.
OOC: How crowded is it around the girl? I got the impression she was in a hallway, which would make it hard for Rana or Shadow to get anywhere near her.
Ah, should have quoted the map...

The T is a table, the C is the remaining chair.
G is where the Grapple is going on
A is Audric
An is Antal
Ra is Rana
S is Shadow
Everyone else is grappling, but Llaars is L, Ro is Rowan, and N for the girl.
Rana quickly steps inside with Shadow and closes the door most of the way. She begins rooting around in her pack, finally pulling out a length of rope.
OOC:For the record, she only pulled the door shut enough to obscure view from the street and prevent anyone from calling the guards on us. It's not shut enough to prevent a hasty exit.
Rowan's Turn. Llaars is pinned, the girl is bleeding profusely, FYI.
Rowan tries to pull the girl off Llaars, not oblivious to the blood but attempting to be uncaring.
SpoilerGrapple to break pin: [roll0]
Ranias smacks away Rowan with little effort, but fails completely to damage Llaars.
Grapple Check to Resist [roll0]
Grapple Check to Damage [roll1] Don't even bother opposing it.
Seeing as he had managed to keep her from laying into him that time, Llaars knew he had better do something quickly. He remembered something that all of those swordsmanship trainers had told him so long ago...
There is no better defense than a good offence!
SpoilerGrapple check to pin Ranias: [roll0]
EDIT: Though apparently, in either situation, there is nothing better than a good dice roll...
Opposing Pin: [roll0]
Close, not close enough. Llaars throws the girl off of him, pinning her with some difficulty.
Antal goes now.
Antal stabs again.
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
The girl goes unconscious, black blood spilling over the floor. She looks pretty badly wounded, and is bleeding out.
[roll0] And failed her stabilization roll.
Rana hurries over, dropping her rope and pulling out bandages and salves instead. "I'll get her patched up, then someone tie her up and we can figure out what to do from there." She quickly wraps the girl's injuries, looking curiously at the strange blood.
SpoilerHeal [roll0]
Knowledge (nature) [roll1] just in case I know something more about her based on new clues.
The girl's bleeding stops.
Rana
Spoiler
Whatever she is, she is not fully half-elven. She is not an animal, giant, vermin, magical beast, or plant either.
"She is...not alive, but not an undead either. Not fully at least. I've never seen anything like that." Audric picks up Rana's rope, stepping near the girl and chrouching down, trying to secure her "I was trained to kill those kind of beings, not bind them" he mutters to himself, keeping working with the rope all the same "A little help wouldn't go amiss." he says more loudly.
"Here, it'll help if you use square knots, not granny knots."
SpoilerAid another on Audric's use rope check [roll0]
Edit: :smalleek: Don't suppose I can grab the rope away and tie the knots myself with that roll?
SpoilerOoops, I forgot to roll my use rope check. Well, he wouldn't attempt to stop you if you wanted to take the rope from him and tie the girl yourself, as he is conscious that he lacks the required skills.
Anyway [roll0] EDIT: :smallmad:
