[PF] The Dragon Empire, IC II

[H. Von Studley]

Ed barely notices the carnage ahead of him as both shrapnel bombs hit their mark. "Cannons! Cease firing! Ballistas, target the orcs on the dock if you can't get a shot at the Strix!"

He moves a few feet further down the pier, towards the orc ground troops, but the rest of the Fog's soldiers quickly pull ahead of him. His leg throbs in protest at the sudden burst of movement. Frustrated, he spins, lifting his shortbow, and fires off a quick shot at the Strix moving closer to the ship.

Ed moves 10' forward and takes a shot at SS3. If SS3 was the one Olivin disarmed, he will instead target SS1.

Orrick sheltered himself behind a stack of barrels as the strix counterattacked. The characteristic thumps of several arrows hitting the wooden obstruction signaled his turn, and he responded in kind with another arrow of his own at a strix that was just emerging out of a suspiciously isolated stormcloud.

Azrin sees River is tending to his own wounds, so he goes ahead and does his own thing. He first directs the lightning cloud over to the next nearest Strix.

Then, seeing a crowd of orcs up ahead still, but not wanting to be on the front lines just yet, he spends a moment clearing his musket.

Moving to the railing of the ship, Olivin carefully lines up his whip and snaps it towards the nearest strix. The end of the whip expertly wraps around the birdman's shortbow and yanks it out of his grasp, sending it plummeting into the water below. While distracted, the strix is struck in the wing by Orrick's arrow and struggles to stay up, but falls down into the water alongside his bow. Edmund's own attack arrives too late, after the opponent has already been wiped out. The two recruits move to join their captain, taking their crossbows and aiming at the strix. Hsmorjo helps as well using another bolt of acid. A ballista bolt launches across the water and impales one of the orcs, sending him to the ground. Pomutiki lets his siege crew man the ballistae, now that the cannons aren't firing. He spawns a ball of fire in his and and throws it, joining the others striking the strix. Alphonse manages to get the same one in the leg with a thrown dart, and it's looking worn down from all the attacks. Mossgandra and her troopers move up to the end of the pier.

The fires on the rooftops have stopped spreading. Taking their own bows, the orcs and strix fire back, while their remaining front line troops advance.

Olivin watches in anger when the rest of the flying enemies stop short of where he can attack them. He hesitates for several moments as he considers his options, looking at the potion in his off hand and attempting to gauge how far away the enemies are. After a few more moments of indecision Olivin heads to join the rest of the crew on the dock.

Olivin will advance as far as he is able to make it. I am not sure what the distances are. He wants to move up so that he can cover the space in front of the leading Good-guys with his whip.

Figure I'll just post again briefly so as to be going last of the party people, to simplify the timing thing and also the rolling.

Azrin sees River catch up to the others, still looking a little wounded, though. "That's a nasty tear, my friend! Here is a little something I learned from the Captain - " Here he pauses and gets a very serious look on his face, and touches River's knee, saying, "Bless'd Gorum sustain thee for battle!"

Given his own gnomish tendency towards being skeptical of calling on some savage god, he has a little trouble sounding imposing during this intonation. Azrin is perhaps as surprised as the others nearby when it seems to work. "First time for everything," he shrugs.

Edmund advances, taking his position next to Mossgandra. River soon arrives behind him and throws a bladed star past him at one of the orcs, piercing the greenskin's hide armor and imbedding itself in flesh. Azrin quickly closes the distance to River and taps him on the hip, mending most of the wounds he has left from his reckless charge. Olivin is eager to get into the battle, but finds the pier crowded. One of the Ulseland soldiers moves aside for him to pass, where he can strike with his whip past the two frontliners. More waves of missiles are exchanged with the strix flying over the water. Orrick manages to bring one down before joining the others on the pier.

The orc frontliners rush in, Edmund deftly striking one of them down and slashing the other two as they approach. One of them gets through his guard however, the orc's blade biting through his armor. Another orc drops his bow and rushes in, Mossgandra easily deflecting the clumsy attack. More arrows fly, River catching one and the other deflected by an Ulseland trooper's blade. The last however hits Edmund in the side where the falchion pierced his armor, exasperating the nasty wound.

River snags the enemy's arrow, whipping it back with incredible speed back in the direction it came. Without looking to see if it hits, he steps up beside the captain where Mossgandra had been standing only a moment before to deliver a furious assault to the orcs. Feeling re-energized and very much invigorated, he unleashes a double triple kick.

Azrin motions to Hsmorjo. "Here, let me switch spots with you, quick." He waves his hand at the thundercloud as he moves, having it use its last bit of steam to envelop the nearer Strix.

Then he casts a new spell, summoning a much larger cloud around the Rhedrans on the pier. "Don't worry folks, this is just to give us a break from those arrows. Keep moving forward and fight as you're able!"

The Strix might even be on the edge themselves, though not if it's a sphere and they're flying at a higher altitude. It'll last 4 minutes unless the sea breeze moves it around.

Mossgandra sidesteps around the orc in front of her, allowing River space to advance. During the maneuver Olivin makes use of the opening to lash a whip around that same orc's foot and pull his feet out from under him. Edmund pulls back from his attackers, striking out vengefully against the orc that wounded him and in doing so striking it down. Orrick and Azrin try to take down the strix flying above, but their attacks are easily evaded. (Or wait, was Orrick aiming at that orc across the way? Wow that went way off.) To keep them protected from the archers, Azrin whips up a cloud of fog on the dock to provide them with cover.

Another volley of missiles is sent at the strix, some aimed haphazardly from within the fog at the last known position of the creatures. Through the mist the sound of bodies plunking into water is heard. Mossgandra swings downwards at the prone orc, striking him against the ground with her strange axe-gauntlet and finishing the job. The enemy forces back away from the cloud of fog, their archers firing blindly into it in the hopes of hitting something.

Orrick watched in disappointment as his arrow swerved off to his right, and high, narrowly avoiding an armed strix winging over the water. How had that happened? Shaking it off, he drew another shaft and aligned it on the orc across the way. However, before he could fire, a mysterious fogbank suddenly settled around him. Azrin's calls explained the situation well enough. The others must have been having a hard time of it. He had seen the captain injured, but so some of the other crew members must have suffered wounds as well. Perhaps this was the best time to play it safe.

Reaching to his belt, he found one of the vials he had prepared during the morning. The liquid inside was sky blue in color. He downed it in one gulp and tossed the vial into the sea. No doubt the soldiers next to him in the cloud got quite a shock when the shadow next to them appeared to shrink to the size of a halfling in the span of only a few seconds.

River wastes no time in bursting from the mist and darting around the boxes. While he doesn't go unseen, he does get around to flank the enemy and nails the nearest to him with a sharp-edged throwing star. Edmund tries to move up as well, but bumps into a large shape - Olivin, now ogre-sized and with a whip comparable to a dragon's tail if that dragon were also a rat. Rat-dragons. Probably exists somewhere.

Orrick's silhouette shrinks as someone moves past in the fog, and Azrin prepares himself while loading his gun. There is the clang of metal and a few cries and grunts of pain from outside of the fog as the Fog's forces continue to press the advantage. Hsmorjo and Mossgandra take a few hits while bringing the fight to the enemy, but no major wounds. The enemy is ragged and the orcs are continuing to fight out of their stubborn pride, but the two remaining strix valiantly take wing and flee. The fires atop the forts are beginning to wane and will slowly recede unless they are actively spread further. The two catapults are now ruined lumps of wood, with a few metal bits attached. The siege crews are not visible from the ground, but are probably no better.

Damage 1:(1d8+5)[7]
Elemental Fist: (1d6)[3] cold damage

If applicable,
Attack 2:(1d20+9)[20]
Damage 2:(1d8+5)[6]

*If he's too far for flurry of blows, the single attack will be at a +1. Also, if OF 8 falls after the first attack, second attack will be directed at OF 9 with a shuriken (-1 to the attack roll). If that applies, damage for shuriken is:
(1d2+5)[6]

Olivin steps out of the fog with his whip ready and looks down across the battlefield from his new height. He spots Mossgandra and River engaged with a pair of Orcs. With his new lumbering Strength he lashes out an attack attempting kill OF9.

Orrick grabbed the amulet that hung around his neck. Somewhere up ahead in the fog was the captain, and he was badly wounded. Azrin's quick thinking may well have saved the man's life. The doctor hoped that this would help as well, despite whatever differences the men had had between them. With a yank, the amulet came free from its chain, and Orrick whispered a few words into it before tossing it onto the dock neck to him. If the nearby troopers had not been phased by the sudden reduction in his silhouette prior, they would certainly be put on edge by the sudden appearance of a skittering, eight-legged creature in the mist with them. With determined purpose, it crawled off into the blurred distance.

Azrin tells the Captain, "I'll press on; we'll make you proud, I hope, Sir."

He runs up towards the edge of the fog, and it's a good thing he doesn't look back as a giant spider looms out of the fog where he'd just been standing.

As he reaches the edge, he sees the huge former slave avenging himself upon two orcs, and off to the right, three other orcs shooting at the intruders. Azrin raises his musket, aims quickly, and fires at one of the latter group.
