Around the Eye of the Storm IC

[deathpigeon]

It seems not to be a teleport at all, but merely a cleverly crafted illusion combined with a charm.

[deathpigeon]

The doors to the inn open, and two vicious hyenas walk in, followed by four humans in leather armor carrying a mace each. Their leader says, "Well, well, well. What do we have here, a bunch of defenseless people, with money for the taking."

OOC: Everyone roll for initiative.

[Ichneumon]

I give you one chance to change your mind. Turn around now, or you'll regret it!

Initiative: (1d20+2)[14]

(Are the hyana's anthropomorphic? Either way, I roll a Nature check, to see if I know of what race they are: (1d20+3)[10], oh and an arcana check, in case that'd be the right knowledge skill to roll: (1d20+5)[18])

[Ichneumon]

(Oh, now I realise, that should have been an intimidate check too, with what I said and all: (1d20+8)[22])

[deathpigeon]

The bandits laugh at your threat. The hyenas are regular hyenas.

Bandit initiative-
BL- (1d20+8)[12]
B1- (1d20+6)[23]
B2- (1d20+6)[11]
B3- (1d20+6)[8]
H1- (1d20+5)[8]
H2- (1d20+5)[7]

[Mando Knight]

Kallista whirls around, grinning devilishly as she grips her oversized spear. "What kind of idiots are you? We're hardly defenseless, and by my count... you're outnumbered."

Initiative - (1d20+1)[20]

[GreenMuffin]

Don whips around. His eyes flash and a spark of arcane magic fizzles from his fingers.

Initiative: (1d20+1)[21]

[GamerJacob]

Tralin's roll - Initiative - (1d20+1)[11](12)

[Shadow_Elf]

You are making a grave mistake, says Daigorro, whipping out his weapon. Leave now, and you will leave with your lives, a resource much more precious than whatever treasure you may find in this inn. Otherwise, make peace with your gods, for you will not live much longer!

Intimidate: (1d20+2)[19]
Initiative: (1d20+4)[6] +2 from Orpheus, so 8 total.

OOC: How close are they? Its important for me to know, since it will be the difference between drawing longsword + buckler or crossbow.

[Jesse Drake]

Agreeing with Marina, Orpheus laughs. "Why, yes, we could use an extra hand."

Then, back to the mission at hand, he stares around. (1d20+3)[8], and remember y'all, ya get a bonus to your initiative of 2.

[GamerJacob]

Then mark me at 14 for Initiative if ya think the quiet one is a friendly.

[deathpigeon]

One of the bandits moves out in front of Kvarn (D7), then pulls a dagger from his hip and throws it at Kvarn.

Don's turn

[GreenMuffin]

Don clenches his hand into a fist. He slowly begins to open it. In the palm of his hand a green ball of energy. It suddenly speeds off of his hand and shoots straight for the Leader Bandit.

Mathas's Turn

[shadowmage]

*Arcane chant* Come forth Limra! Answer our call! A Line appears between the Bandit leader and one of the hyenas, that spreads into a doorway. A soldier wreathed in flame with an axe of flame steps out and takes a swing at the bandit leader.

"Ha! What a warrior." Orpheus says to Kvarn. "Man, he'd be something to have on your side."

He certainly would, though I imagine it would be quite something else to have him at your back. Hahahaha! But, you know, I'm no slouch myself. Why, I reckon that I'm stronger than any man in this room. But, you say you're a tactician eh Orpheus? I suppose you've done some mighty heroic stuff in your day.

At which point he is interupted by Mathas.

With his hand still resting on the symbol he looks around the room. Seeing three road weary travelers over by the bar and sensing a strong approval and a resonance with his secret. He gets up and approaches the 2 Gnomes and Half-Orc. Taking note of the arms and Armour worn by the three.

Greetings. Your three would not happen to be a band of adventures seeking employment world you not?

I'm open to employment if it lets me keep us this kind of a lifestyle. Orpheus here seems like a good fellow to work beside too. He's a tactician, he told me. And why not the other gnome as well? I bet he's a fine fellow.

And Kvarn is interrupted again by the disturbance.

The doors to the inn open, and two vicious hyenas walk in, followed by four humans in leather armor carrying a mace each. Their leader says, "Well, well, well. What do we have here, a bunch of defenseless people, with money for the taking."

OOC: Everyone roll for initiative.

I suppose this is the price I have to pay for these comforts? Well, a chance to be heroic and save the day is hardly a price, so much as an added bonus!

He picks up his sword and shield and readies himself to fight his foes. He doesn't have time to put on his armor, and so is fighting at a -4 AC penalty.

Initiative: (1d20+5)[9]

One of the bandits moves out in front of Kvarn (D7), then pulls a dagger from his hip and throws it at Kvarn.

Damage- [roll1]

Kvarn looks around and sees all the patrons to his left pull out weapons. He doesn't notice Tralin as he is too busy focusing on the Bandits. As he looks around, a dagger flies by his head, redirecting his attention back to the bandits?

Hahaha! Helpless indeed!

In a mocking tone:
Aaaaah! I don't know what to do. Somebody, please save me. Aieeeeee!

Back to serious tone: You're outnumbered, and judging by your severe lack of aim outmatched. I'll gladly cut you all down, but if you beg for your life I'll spare you. A hero has to show mercy, after all.

[Mando Knight]

Kallista reaches over and stabs at the first bandit as he closes in, which if successful should embolden Kvarn even further...

Energizing Strike on B1. Yes, she can reach that.
vs AC - (1d20+7)[11]
Damage - (1d10+4)[7]
On hit, Kvarn gains 4 temp HP.

[deathpigeon]

The fire warrior swings at the bandit's leader, missing him, as Kallista's jab goes wide.

Mariana's Turn

[Ichneumon]

Marina runs more near to the enemies. (moves to A8)
She grabs her flail and focusses on one of the bandits (B1)
This isn't just criminal, fighting against civilisat. THIS IS MADNESS!
She uses "Shared Madness" on the bandet.

(1d20+3)[16] vs Will
Damage: (1d10+3)[5]
and a second creature I can see takes damage, I choose the bandit leader.

[GamerJacob]

As Tralin draws his Longsword he says, "Get to the back of the room, I will cover you.” Tralin will gently push the Civs in G8 & G6 towards the back.

He ends his move @ F6.

Tralin looks to the Bandit across the table and says "You will harm no one while I am here.” Minor Action Aegis of Shielding on B1.

[deathpigeon]

The Bandit Leader's Turn

The Bandits' Leader moves over to Kallista, then he twirls his mace swinging it at you as he slides to one side, "Ha! We will crush you like bugs!"

To hit: (1d20+6)[20]
Damage: (1d8+2)[9] and Kallista is dazed (you grant combat advantage, you can only make one action, standard, move, or minor, each turn, you can't take immediate actions or opportunity actions, you can't flank) until the end of the Bandit Leader's next turn.
Ending square: B7

Kvarn's Turn

[Zocelot]

Kvarn looks at the bandit leader and the cohort beside him and says

"Why don't you back away from the weakling, and fight me, a real warrior.?!?! GRAAAAAH!!!

Kvarn charges into battle (not literally) by moving to D8, moving to C7 which provokes and AoO from B1 (if the table completely fills the square and so disallows diagonal movement, I'll jump over the table to the same effect) and attempting the stab B1 as he reaches his destination.

Passing Attack

(1d20+9)[28] vs. AC

On a hit:

(1d8+4)[9] damage, shift to B6 and make a secondary attack against BL.

On a hit or a miss: B1 is marked

Secondary Attack

Kvarn doesn't stop moving just because he stabbed a bandit. He moves a bit more to reach a highly advantageous position and attacks the bandit leader.

(1d20+13)[31] vs. AC

On a hit: (1d8+4)[5]

On a hit or a miss: BL is marked

If the first attack is a miss, Kvarn ends his turn in C7.

OOC: Could you please tell us if our attacks are hits or misses?

[Zocelot]

Kvarn is angry at these villainous bandits, but hates the leader with a passion. He will call upon his reserves of strength to strengthen his blow against him.

Furious Assault

The attack against the Bandit leader deals extra damage.

(1d8)[7] extra damage

[deathpigeon]

With his mighty swings, Kvarn hits both the bandits, first spilling the leaders blood. As you pass him, one of the bandits attacks you.

The right-most hyena runs up to Kvarn and leaps at him with a ferocious bite, distracting him from others.

To hit: (1d20+7)[17]
Damage: (2d6+3)[11]
Effect: Kvarn grants all enemies combat advantage
Ending square: B6

[Zocelot]

On a hit:

damage, shift to B6 and make a secondary attack against BL.

If the first attack is a miss, Kvarn ends his turn in C7.

I assume that the first attack was a hit (28 hits most stuff at first level), so I should be in B6, not C7. This would also mean moving B3 and H1 a bit, but I hope that isn't a problem. If it's a big problem, I'll stay, but I'd much prefer being where I specified. Sorry if that got lost in the long post.
