[4E] Keep on the Shadowfell - IC

[sournote103]

Verin followed closely behind his allies. He was glad to be inside and away from the sun, but he was also wary of any hazard that might be present. Luckily, as a vampire, his eyes were well adjusted to seeing in the dark, which would certainly be advantageous as he and his allies descended further.

Weeping Crane
As the cold sensation is felt across the group, Crane's instincts kick in. The monk swiftly drifts to the fore of the group, and falls into a combat stance. I have my weapons already, he replies quietly to Reeve beside him. He flexes his fingers.

[Gillric]

The stairway leading down consists of finely crafted stone, perhaps the work of dwarves. A breeze chills you to the bones as you take each step down. The flicker of torchlight spills from a room at the bottom of the stairs.

The lone goblin you see in the hall across from the stairs grins mischievously before hurling a dagger towards Reeve. As the dagger strikes Reeve, you hear the sounds of movement from the passage to the east before another dagger comes out of the darkness towards Crane, clanging off the wall above his shoulder.

Suddenly, when you thought the goblins were done, two bolts come from behind the goblin to the south, one aimed at Crane and the other at Reeve. Both arrows find their marks and you can see two sprightlier goblins back at the end of the hall.

Verin knew that he couldn't quite reach the goblins from where he was without walking over the pit, which he certainly couldn't do. Luckily, one of the advantages of lycanthropy was the ability to run more quickly when transformed. He spent a moment transforming into a wolf, then maneuvered himself to a position in which he could hit the closest goblin.

The goblin in Cranes grasp brings its sword around and manages to slightly injure the warrior but is unable to loosen Crane's grasp sufficiently and his escape attempt it is ineffectual. The goblin down the east hallway throws another dagger, this time aiming for Verin but it sails harmlessly into the pillar.

The two bow wielding goblins take careful aim and fire at Crane and Verin. The one shooting at Crane manages a very accurate shot, seriously wounding Crane while the other misses Verin completely. The first one then rushes across the hallway and opens a door before his compatriot rushes past and out of sight.

Weeping Crane
As the goblin shifts, Crane's reflexes kick in, literally, as his foot flies out to intercept his foe.

Immediate Reaction: Melee Basic Attack via Combat Challenge @ GW1

(1d20+8)[14] vs. AC
Hit: (1d8+6)[13] damage.

Upon having blood drawn, Reeve lets out a roar that sends terror into any enemies near him. Barely able to keep his wits about him with the blood running down his face, he slides away from the foe who bloodied him, moving inbetween the enemy who looks most hurt and the pesky rat swarm.

Insisting on harming the enemy who is most wounded, Reeve digs deep and finds the energy to strike once more.

[Gillric]

As the goblin attempts to escape from Crane, the warrior lashes out but is unable to land his blow.

Reeve, with his blood once again flowing, lets his anger wash over the three closest foes putting them off balance before lashing out twice at the bleeding goblin. The first attack misses harmlessly but the second causes the goblin to bleed more profusely as well as granting some respite to Verin.

Crane misses with the mark punishment. Reeve causes W1, W2, and R1 to grant CA UENT. Reeve then misses W1 and R1 is too far to be targeted. Hits W1 with the second attack though, giving 5 thp to Verin.

It is now Verin's Turn.

Verin growled at the goblins, unhappy at the tide of the battle. Before rushing into the fray, however, he took a moment to catch his breath, and recover from his wounds. Then, he ran up to one of the goblins, biting it, and using its blood to help himself recover further.

Verin's wounds knit slightly before he rushes at the goblin on the right of the pit only to have his attack miss.

Verin Heals himself before moving and missing with the attack. If you didn't count the CA, it would still miss at 12.
