The Second Draconic War - III

[Sallera]

Kern taps himself, the King, and Legs with the wand before putting it away. "If we're going, best go. It's only been a minute or so; our last ally is probably down, but they may not be expecting our return, and we're in slightly better shape now than we were before retreating."

[Strangie]

Feh... well, I'm not in a position to argue with it right now. ... you didn't strike me as a fighting type before, milord, but... well, you don't look bad holding a sword.

He sighs, turning to Drace with a nod. Thanks... well, I suppose this is it, then, eh? The least I can do if all goes to hell is die by your side. I owe you that much for freeing me from that wretched prison you found me in. He shrugs. For what it's worth, it's not your command that ruined us. Those worgs were out of your hands. The cards were not in our favor, my friend. Unfortunately, I think the option of folding our hand now basically means we become worg food.

He frowns a bit, putting away his shortbow, resting his morningstar on his shoulder and twirling his dagger in his other hand between his fingers. I've already come this far, though, and I have no intentions of dying in the middle of nowhere. Those worgs will have to work for it if they want me. So whenever you are ready, Drace, Kern... and milord, if you truly wish to come back with us, though I would heed Drace's words...

[hustlertwo]

Drace claps the rogue on the back.

It's been an honor, Luis. And thank you. Hopefully we'll live along enough for you to finally get decent with that bow, eh?

The joking grin slowly disappears from his face as he prepares to return to the fray.

All right. Let's go back. There's no more than six worgs left, possibly less. So no man or beast here is allowed to keel over until he has slain at least one of these foul beasts!

You pop out of the Stone and you see your injured but still fighting ally. He is surrounded by 4 foes. Another worg is carrying the stone in its mouth, and gets startled by your reappearance. He tries to run away with it.

The king draws his greatsword and watches it for a moment...

"I will show you now one of the reasons I became the people's King of Valtlan. I promess not to damage your armor Maester Drace."

Then the King charges the worg carrying the stone and ends up in X10...

Edit: The king does a surgical cut in the worg's head, rendering his inwards exposed. The worg drops the stone in Y11

End of Turn

[Strangie]

Luis does a double-take at the King's deft, swift, and skillful execution of the worg. ... Am I hallucinating?

Luis looks at his fellows, looking like he'd seen a ghost. Is it me, or did His Highness just totally dominate that worg? What just happened?

Spoiler

Show

Luis will delay until Kern's turn

[hustlertwo]

Then let us follow his example.

Drace charges the worg in S-16, attempting to bring his flail down for a similarly dramatic blow.

(1d20+10)[12] (1d8+4)[5]

He does not succeed.

PeeDee's turn.

[Psionic Dog]

Milo has been feeling impatient, confused, and lost. The battle rage probably hasn't helped, but there is a worg standing all alone neatly in front of him... with a howl Milo knees legs into action for his second mounted charge.

"ACRRO!"

Lance Charge attack worg U14: (move to U12)
Attack - (1d20+8)[25] damage - (1d6+6)[8] (x2 mounted lance charge)

[Sallera]

"Aye, that's a blade people will follow." Kern advances over the ridge, gathering wisps of frost in his hand and sending a sphere of winter toward Milo's target.

Move to V8, attack worg in U14 with a Lesser Orb of Cold.

Ranged touch: (1d20+8)[12]
Damage: (2d8+1)[5]

[Strangie]

Heh, I wish I had the bravado to charge ahead like that without a care in the world...

Luis proceeds down the field, though he keeps his weapons crossed in front of him in a defensive stance, positioning himself to try and get a better fighting position soon...

Move to T10, Total Defense

This worg turn will likely be the critical one as far as who has what happen to them.

Kern and Milo land their attacks on the worg, which becomes injured and weak, but still able to retaliate...

EDIT: Again the King makes an example of the worg by slaing it with great skill, after receiving damage...

[hustlertwo]

AoO on the S-17 worg, since Drace was next to it when it moved. If this doesn't bring him down, Drace will move after him and smack him once more.

(1d20+8)[28] (1d8+4)[7]

[hustlertwo]

Confirmation fun times: (1d20+8)[18] (1d8+4)[12]

[Scorer]

Crit is confirmed, not enough to down him...

[hustlertwo]

Then Drace moves after him (not charging) and tries once more.

We're not losing a man now, when your rabble is nearly defeated. Die!

I go straight up the S block and then diagonal to T at the end, so yeah.

This is why we need better armor. I can't even use Total Defense and avoid getting hit, so what's the point. Had 23 AC with TD vs. a hit that would have worked even without the charge. 11/26 HP, by the way.

Damnit all to hell... it's like no matter what they do, they're going to get me... but if I go down, I'm taking them all to hell with me.

Since the last previous worg bit got prememptivly killed by an AoO that's first blood against Milo. Hp: 19/27+4rage.

Speaking of which, Milo's rage is good for 7 rounds.
He started raging back after... Worg turn #6.

Looks like this be last rage'n round.

"Akcrr, at em boy!"

Legs Bite - (1d20+3)[19] damage - (1d20+1)[5]

Spinning about Milo and Legs hop back a step to bring the lance to play once more...
Fight with mount - (1d20+10)[24]
Attack - (1d20+6)[25] damage - (1d6+6)[8]

5ft step to V-11.
If Legs took out the U-12Worg, then Lance attack is instead against Mr T11.

You might want to reroll the animal's damage roll. Even if it was low enough that you might do better on the reroll even with the smaller die.

[Sallera]

Kern starts counting corpses in his head as the numbers dwindle; it would not do to fail their objective after all this trouble. Calling up another swirling sphere of frozen mist, he spins it at the remaining worg.

Another Lesser Orb, at U13 if it's alive, elsewise at T11.
