(last time we make a story line with victor at 4 in the morning

[Miraqariftsky]

She walked over to Sir Micheal and started to unload him. She noticed the hobgoblins in the cart and made her way over to free one hand each and give them some food. She also took them to the bushes to relieve themselves. "Almost there"

After her chores were done she took out her dagger and a piece of wood she found on the ground and started to carve while she watched for intruders.

Neshi's mind is still a-whirl with the events of the day... his eyes still dazed from the white fire that had immolated their spellcasting foe. He stumbles about the camp, seemingly heedless of his surroundings, the Mosid'ar mage's last necromantic chant still rotting his ears, the hobgoblin's ashes still irritating his nostrils.

ksk... ksk... sssk-kk... ksk... ksk

The soft scraping jars him out of his reverie. He turns and sees a shapely silhouette against the light of the campfire. His beloved lady's golden mane shines all the more against the light of the fire. The shadows of her backlit body inflame his blood yet his limbs tremble as he approaches her.

His unclad and hardened feet stop a few feet from her and he keeps a respectful distance. He slowly kneels then bows to her, forehead in the dirt, and asks, "Milady radiant, mistress most fair, wouldst thou grant thy slave an audience?"

your ears perk up and you hear a rustle in the bushes coming from behind you, when you turn around brown feathers of somethings back hunched over, eating something

[wingover gimble]

Hahahaha you guys gotta hear this. Its a D&D song short but funny and the references i have all seen. http://dndsong.ytmnd.com/ srrry i was that bored it was like 2 in the morning and like nothing was happening soi started to search random things.

[Miraqariftsky]

ksk... ksk... sssk-kk... ksk... ksk

The slow, slow carving continues with nary a breath, nary a sigh in response to Neshi's hail. Puzzled, he dares to look up and brush some stray locks from her beauteous eyes...

...and he stumbles back, aghast. Blood and fire flicker from within the orbs. Slowly, inexorably, a tide of solid scarlet assails the blue and purple strains in her pupils. Neshi's flesh turns cold as he realizes that his beloved is once more fighting a battle of souls.

ksk... ksk... sssk-kk... ksk... ksk Her hands continue to carve the stick in seeming catatonia. Neshi's chest heaves in worry and in woe.

GRazhzhdgggg... GRAF! rraKK-raKK! *munch-chomp*

Suddenly, the bushes rustle behind him. A storm of brown plummage shakes violently and gore flies through the foliage.

His eyes dart from one danger to another--- from Daiyanissa's inner demon to the beast in the shadows. Oh my lord, Horus, bless my hands that they may not falter in this battle. Bless my heart that I might decide wisely, he prays.

He looks around at his sleeping comrades and thinks to himself that they are better off since their positions in the camp are relatively far from the rustling beast. He fears making any sudden moves that might attract the beast's attention. But nevertheless decides his priorities and where his loyalties lie.

He slings his shield onto his back, heaves a deep breath and sweeps Daiyanissa into his arms. Grunting with the effort, he winces at every thunderous, cracking footfall that he makes, fearful that the noise of the combined clanking of their suits of armor will either awaken his comrades or attract the attention of the monster in the darkness.

(1d20-10)[10] Trying to Move Silently in full armor while carrying another armored being

Neshi walks as fast as his burdens allow him to and moves around the campfire, protectively putting the fierce flames of the watchfire between his beloved and the feathered beast in the shadows. He gently lays her on a smooth, flat boulder and leaves his rolled blanket beneath her head to serve as a crude pillow.

He bends down to her breast and listens for steady breathing. Neshi breathes a sigh of relief as he detects a healthy heartbeat. He gently parts her eyelids and heaves a prayer of thanks as he sees the sinful, scarlet sea abating within her eyes.

ksk... ksk... sssk-kk... ksk... ksk He recoils in shock as he realizes that her hands had still been holding the knife and half-carven sculpture. Neshi carefully pries the small blade from her hands and replaces it in her sheath. He shakes his head in disbelief as her hands still dumbly continue through the motions of carving. Neshi makes the Sign of the Falcon over the both of them and her struggles ease. Despite the seeming calm of her features, Daiyanissa's hands still twitch, though.

For good measure, however, he pulls out the vial of holy water that she gave him in the city and dips a finger in. He flicks some drops over her body and dabs two drops of holy water on her lips. The droplets sizzle on her feverish flesh and for a moment, she writhes in unhallowed pain. The moment passes and Neshi fleetingly kisses her lips and her forehead, whispering, "By Horakhe, be thou well and be thou safe, my love"

With that, he steps back around the campfire to face the beast in the shadows. Neshi straps his shield back on and brings it forward and up while bracing his legs for the upcoming action. He slowly crouches low and draws his khopesh, sliding it into the heart of the fire. He feels the crossguard grow warm and he brings it back out into the air, knowing that by then, the blade should be glowing red-hot, then...

KLANGG! KLA-KLANGGG! DRANG-TA-GAAANGGG!

...slams it repeatedly against his shield, hoping that the noise will drive away the beast... and awake his comrades from their ill-advised slumber.

"TO ARMS!", He yells at them, trying to rouse them from the depths of sleep. "A vile spawn of Set approaches! TO ARMS!", Neshi bellows.

Listen for Neshi's Move Silently: (1d20-10)[4]
(-10 penalty for sleeping.)

Opposed to Neshi's 10, so it fails. Therefore, Yorrick wakes up when Neshi rouses everyone. Yorrick is therefore unarmored, as he has no opportunity to don it (even hastily) before a fight.

(1d20)[10] Initiative

Neshi recoils and nearly retches at the sight ofthe hideous monstrosity's full form. He glances around at the sounds of blankets shucked off and of weapons readied. He breathes a sigh of relief that his comrades heeded his watchman's alarum and that they can now defend themselves.

But then, looking at their disheveled faces and forms, Neshi grimaces. He summons his courage and strengthens his resolve, determined to face the challenge head on.

He hunches his shoulders, adjusts his left arm for a better grip on his shield and slides a step or two ahead, placing himself between the owlbear and his comrades. Barely turning, he issues orders to his troop in a voice steady and grim. "Troop, stay well back! Take cover behind me and use the campfire, the trees and the rocks for protection. Slings and spells and bows, engage that thing at range and skirmish. Keep well away from those claws and beak!"

Neshi slides another step forward and continues. "Milo, bow out and keep back and away--- bombard that abomination from the far left flank! Martin, if thou hast some Grease left, please cast it now to keep that thing from reaching us! Follow it with either thy strength-sapper or thy colorful stunning spell if'n ye please... but if thy arcane might is drained for the day, get thou back to the far right flank and support us with thy belly-bow! Chuck, front and center, here with me! Cover my left flank, melee and ranged... spells too, if thou canst manage them."

The slightest of smiles curls the corners of his lips upward as he commands the old guard. "Yorrick! Sword in the soil and be ready to charge but meantime, stand thou guard over milady Daiyanissa with thy bow. Full ranged support unless circumstances force thy hand. Defend the Lightbringer with thy life, man!"

Okay, so we don't have a map... Bugger.

Basically, Yorrick moves into a position between Daiy and the creature with a good line to charge along at him. (Guys, do leave a space in front for me to run at 'im!) This is his move action.

As a swift action, he takes up the Leading the Charge stance, which grants his allies +3 damage on all charge attacks.

As a standard action, he makes one attack with his shortbow on the Owlbear.

The owlbear needs to make a reflex save DC 14 or fall prone. It'll need to make a balance check DC 10 to move at half speed through the grease. It needs 5 ranks or more of Balance to avoid being flatfooted (and denied his DEX to AC) while in the grease. I need a map to see if I can cast certain things well.
