Ode to the Last God of Man - Game

[VinGoodman]

Melina looks at the wolf carrying Lupe onward past her easily, and looks back at Copper at her heels. "Now why can't you carry me like that? Hmm?" She wipes off the sweat from her forehead as she continues on toward the scene. Copper yelps a response, and continues jogging alongside the slow-plodding cleric.

[Prince Zahn]

*Snarling*
"Siiii...." Lupé agreed with her wolf. "Si! Lupé lost! she said, following their voice until they came into sight. "me looking strong men prey on small game" she says in a low, almost seductive voice as she circled the tall one."O - where Lupé find...?
Reaching her hand out towards him from a short distance, it begins to glow an ivory light that propels forth towards his eyes.

Oops! Already find they! she said back to her playful self.
"Leave man alone! Leave now!" she shouts as Caniña exposes her fangs and snarls.

[Batpope Scott]

Alise starts running, overtaking Melina by a bit, and watches Lupé fly by. She scowls a bit at what she hears ahead, noting only that this isn't going to be much fun.

Your Arrow slams into the bandit and he staggers, still standing, but now with the fletchings of an arrow the only thing visible where the arrow struck. He takes a glance at you before preparing to stagger away from your line of fire.

He seems unperturbed, abiet, a little fazed by the pain from the moon beam, but as he shakes it off, he glares at you yelling, " GET THE LITTLE RUNT!" One of the shorter bandits, a dwarf, looks over as he yells this, ready to move.
Canina's bite hits strikes him in retaliation, but he shakes her off. (He looks ecstatically pissed if i do say so myself) The other bandits look worried as they watch their leader get attacked.

does this tall fellow have a reach weapon or something? Lupé wasn't circling from 5 ft. Away(15 ft more accurately) but still at a distance.
Not sure if I should be whining given the bloke missed. . . Reach weapons are a hard detail to miss, is all I'm saying.>_>

no worries! You don't even have to make a new roll either, thankfully, because it doesn't seem like anything else happened
Also, see OOC post - using CMD will save you a roll, thankfully.

(1d20+5)[6] If hits: (1d6+3)[8]

His Club falters mid swing, and as the Bandit Leader looks to lupe, he now watches with fear as Alise, Roparten, and (laggging behind) Melina, show up. Dropping his weapon he falls to his knees and Begs: "PLEASE, i-i, uh, p-please, i don' wanna die, m-mercy"
The other bandits watch this with mixed expressions of disgust and fear. A bandit farthest from the rest of the party starts to back away slowly.

[VinGoodman]

Seeing the leader drop and beg for mercy, the cleric stops and bends over to catch her breath. Between gasps, she yells at the retreating bandits. "Stop! Don't make me chase after you!" Copper mingles his barks with her shout, earning a look from the sweat-drenched Melina. Once she catches her breath, Melina begins walking toward the scene, with Copper following close behind.

[Prince Zahn]

Lupé holds her wolf by it's collar, barely stopping it from tearing the bandit leader limb from limb.
"Caniña good nose, find you anywhere." the wolfgirl proceeded to threaten, pointing her raging wolf in his direction.
"At home Caniña devour big chicken you lunch!" Lupé whispered gravely. "last chance walk away - do not running - running is wolf meat."

[TwentyFold]

The Bandit leader understands the gist, but he still looks puzzled.

Meanwhile the bandit prepared to run gives a big snort, then takes careful aim, and throws his dagger at the Leader. To lupe's vision, the leader is on his knees, looking perturbed and scared still, then the tip of a dagger appears in his throat. The Leader falls face first upon the cobble, bleeding out, while the bandit who threw the knife gives a big hoot and runs as fast as he can away. Now before the party (besides Arrisan) is 2 bandits, each standing in shock, a man in gray robes who is leaning against a nearby wall, shaking, and a dying Bandit Leader before them.

Meanwhile, there is sounds of fighting nearby...

Arrisan
One of the bandits throws down his club as he looks behind you, back the way the other bandit (bandits?) was. While the other Bandit still attempts to fight you.

Arrisan

Arrisan swings at the attacking bandit and shifts his position.

Melina continues to close in, giving up any idea of giving chase. As she does so, she readies her sling as she looks about her and tries to figure out where that fighting sound is coming from.

[TwentyFold]

There is an alley cutting off just ahead, that seems to be where the fighting seems to be happening.

Arrisan
The bandit side is split open with the slash, and he falls to the ground, dead. Meanwhile there is sounds of approaching footsteps from where the bandit came from, where ahead there seems to be the bandit you shot earlier, staring dumbfounded at something.

[Smileybastard]

Arrisan

Arrisan slips into the shadows and waits for what is coming.

"Gaah! Why do bad people always run away!" Melina rolls her eyes as she picks up the pace. She points to the other two bandits. "Don't you two think about going anywhere." She gives each a cold stare before approaching the man in the gray robes. "Are you ok? Can I help you?"

Spoiler: OOC

Fluff until our GM gives us some action orders. I will try to post daily (on weekdays, at least) from now on during the week, even if it's just a bit of fluff, to let you all know Melina is around. Hope that'll help keep this thread closer to the front. I can't believe how far back I had to go to find this thing.

[Prince Zahn]

"SHARP!" Lupé hisses angrily. "Man m-mercy Lupé decide - me decide! - Not m-mercy Sharp decide!" Lupé shouts, getting on her knees before the dying bandit. Not caring what others think when she expresses the injustice.

Spoiler: OOC

Yeah, I've been thinking about this for longer than it may seem. Could I try to remove the dagger?

Spoiler: DM

and Maybe... Oh, idk... save the bandit's life?

If you make me a heal check (DC: 15), you can remove it without killing him instantly, then you may make another heal check(DC 12 to Stop Bleeding) to see if you can stop the bleeding afterwords, or heal him as you remove the knife (DC for Heal Reduces to DC: 11), otherwise, still bleedin out.

. Meanwhile the man in grey robes removes his hood.

He is human, with wavy locks of golden hair, his face is pale, sickly, and he shows no signs of being old enough for facial hair, besides minor hairs upon his chin. He looks to the party, still scared, and looks down at the hem of his robes before falling to his knees.

T-THANK YOU SO MUCH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE H-HAPPENED, man my father is gonna kill me!

Then he raises his head quickly, a small hope on his face.

Wait, are you by chance the n-new recruits, the ones who received the message. The one that sent you to reach the inquisition?

Alright, Gonna try to save the bandit's life, it would certainly fuel the story more seeing how this bandit react to the wolf girl saving him from certain death the order will be stabilize-remove knife attempt-CLW:

"Lupé save man - Melina! Stranger! You help, yes?"

an Aid another could save the bandit, could help karmawise and he could help us in the future, we don't know but it's good story material, any takers?

[VinGoodman]

Melina bends down to respond to the man on his knees, and turns to Lupe in response to her call. Her face pales at the sight of the fallen bandit. "Ooh, that is not good. One moment, please. This man needs a little help." She grasps the holy symbol, and draw forth a touch of Erastil as a burst of energy emits from the cleric.

Spoiler: OOC

Melina will do a channel, followed by aid another with her poor healing skills. Hope it's enough:

should have asked you to do the check for me, I guess... A halfling's aid another could have gotten us much farther

As the knife slides out of the bandit leader's neck, the wound heals behind it, and the bandit's breathing comes more stable, though he still lays there, unconscious.

Spoiler: OOC

Congrats, the bandit leaders(?) alive, and, not really kicking a the moment. As for the sense motive, the bandits look to be preparing to make a break for it, and you sensed so well that you know they will make dust clouds in 2 rounds.

[VinGoodman]

Melina looks up to the bandits with a glare. "If you're going to run, at least have the decency to see to your leader first. Hmm?" She takes a moment to make sure the leader is stable, before turning the reins over to the rest of the group.

She steps away from the group and tries to help the robed man onto his feet. "Did they hurt you, or take anything from you? Oh, yeah, the invitation. One moment." Melina fishes out the invitation, and tries to make sense of what exactly she is signed up for. Not making much headway on her own, she decides on the direct approach. "What am I signed up for here, exactly?"

[Eldon4]

Roparten

As Roparten arrives on the scene, he just stares in confusion for a moment as he takes in Lupe saving a bandit?, Melina lecturing other bandits, and a kid in robe on his knees by Melina. After his initial shock Roparten will raise his bow and ask, "Are we letting them leave?" indicating the two standing bandits, "or should I keep an eye on them?"

[Prince Zahn]

The wolf and halfling sit by the injured brigand. Lupé parts the bandit's hair, getting a better view of his face. Without turning her head to Roparten she deadpans."They leave if want, tell them again 'do not running - running is wolf meat.'"

If the bandits come into Lupé's sight, she will warn them thusly:
"you don't hurting man anymore. Lupé tell Caniña hunt you. " as she gestures her head toward her wild wolf.

[Eldon4]

Roparten

"hehehe well you heard her, if you want to leave you can but do it slowly or you get hunted by the wolf."

[TwentyFold]

The two bandits start to back off slowly, just as another bandit comes around a nearby alleyway, where the fighting sounds came from (the sounds just ended). He spots the party (especially the wolf), glances at the leader on the ground (in a pool of his recently drained blood) and gives a yelp before running away, down the alley everyone is in (where the traitorous bandit ran).

Meanwhile the young man in gray robes stands, looking at the invitation with wide eyes.

No, nothing is stolen... By the dying ember, that is perfect! What about the rest of you? May i see them, where is the other man who was invited, has he not joined you yet?

He at first, quickly looks around at the group, then at what you wear, and what you have, and then quickly looks around, spotting the bandit who is running away from the nearby side alley.

Hello?! Is a... uh.. wait a moment!

He calls out to the nearby alley, then rummages in his robes, and takes out a small sheet of parchment.

Arrisan? Is that you, or another bandit..

He then backs off a little from the alleyway, looking from the group, to the alley way, and back again.

Maybe one of you kind adventurers could take a peek?

He speaks meekly, and still eyes the alley just in case
