The Second Draconic War - II

[Psionic Dog]

Half a ridge over and some time back...
Uncertain how the worg matriarch would react to one riding one of there lesser kin and unwilling to abandon Legs Milo had quietly hung back while his companions moved ahead into the worg camp.

I probably oughta told someun... he mused later, tracking his fellows and their 'escorts' from just beyond LoS wondering glumbly what they were doing with worgs and uncertain where and how he would rejoin them with the escorts present. 'Ackwardly' came to mind. Still when the sound of howls of worgs and cries of battle rose he nudge Legs on a bit faster slowing cautiously has he crested the small rise. Sounds if those escorts tryin a quiet slaughter out'o sent, out'o mind way from camp. But, them big heroes, they survive: just angry if I no help... ep!

Ah, hell. He gestures where left his shortbow in J10. If I'd known the battle was going to go so cruddy in a hurry, I would have held onto that.

A dilemma. My bow is still in J10. Should I try to pick it back up (still having weapons in both hands), or should I just try to run back over to where you guys are?

Or if Scorer will let Luis pick it up awkwardly so he's holding three weapons at once and looking a little silly. PILE O' WEAPONS.

Psidog's story is fine.

And Luis can grab with his mouth to add the sillyness

[Strangie]

Realizing he has no limbs to use to pick up his shortbow, Luis runs over and carries it and his other weapons in a bundle, feeling slightly ridiculous.

As if the accursed thing was really doing it for me as it is...

Sure, let's do that. :P End turn in J10 then.

FYI, Drace is still carrying several longbows from the huge fight we had at that compound last year.

Luis isn't proficient in longbows, only shortbows. :P

Milo's Turn

As epic as a raging charge attack entrance would be, rushing to the front line smack into a cluster of 4 worgs is also say, suicidal?

"Feed the puppy" might be a valid moto for me/Milo, but we never intended to be the horderve.

Milo and Legs come over the hill skidding to a stop a step behind Luis (H9) with lance and sling in either hand: their wide eyes white.

"In employer's big Name why you attacking full pack? Are last midnight terrors been too easy?" he asks as he sends a stone at the J17 worg.

Milo's stone is enough to finish the job in that worg, as it falls down unconciously...

"Ah, there you are. Our rapidly diminishing allies apparently decided that the appropriate approach to a camp of sleepers was to charge in apace rather than sneak about slitting throats; worgs are rather direct creatures. At any rate, we judged our chances better fighting together than separately."

Kern taps Milo with the wand, the blue glow enveloping him briefly before fading. "At any rate, they have done some damage, but as they split their efforts, not as much as could be hoped. Fighting retreat's the order of the day."

Move to I8, Cat's Grace on Milo.

[Strangie]

Luis receives another worg bite to the backside.

Nyaaagh! Damnit! Milo, where the HELL have you been? Excuse me! Drace, hold on for me for a second if you could!

Spoiler

Potentially having Luis use the Withdraw action to get away from the worg and move him to L4 behind Drace. If Drace delays until after Luis, he can use whatever healing he has on him.

[hustlertwo]

I'm not even sure the fighting part will be true for long. I hate to say it, mates, but I think we're fast approaching a point where we're just going to need to run away. There's simply too many of these creatures. Kern, I don't suppose we can use that transporter stone to hide out in the other realm, training and resting until we can pop out and trounce these hounds?

Drace moves back to I-10, fastening his shield along the way. When he arrives he takes a hearty swing at the worg harassing Luis with his flail.

(1d20+8)[23] (1d8+4)[9]

Luis, don't be afraid to pull back if your wounds become too great. You can help more from back there than you can from down there. Drace gestures to the ground as he says this.

Never knew before now that shield fastening and unfastening could be done during a move, same as drawing items. Interesting.

That' a hit and worg survives it.

Do we switch to a new thread soon now that we're on page 50?

[Scorer]

True, thanks Hustler, will do so tomorrow

[Strangie]

Good point, Drace. That's a good idea with the stone, though. Will it work? Because there's no way the four of us will hold out against these things for long, and it's not like the orc camp, where we had a defensable position. You know, there's a famous saying amongst rogues like me... know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run. This... falls under that last category, I think.

My turn remains unchanged from my last post.

Ah, delaying and healing would have been good. Didn't see your post in time.

Psionic's turn.

[Psionic Dog]

"Can't run. Four paws run faster. Two one make fight hard. Need stone latter else sooner. Sooner gets trial strength, later make rest point. Me only carry gold for once." Milo comments before stuffing his sling between his teeth to take a two-handed grip his lance as he knees Legs into a short charge to K-9 intent on skewering the M8 worg.

"MHGHF!"

Attack - (1d20+8)[12]
damage - (1d6+6)[12] (x2 mounted charge)

Milo: Meet blood cudling rage.

Edit: A max-damage mounted raging lance charge would have been really cool if it had hit.

[Scorer]

That's a miss, and also...
