[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.

Spoiler

Yeah, I'm fine with going down.

[Shadow_Elf]

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.

Reeve moves forward in an attempt to reach the goblin in the southern hallway only to have the floor drop out from under him. As he starts falling into the pit, he notices that the floor in one corner of the pit is covered in a writhing mass of rats. Just before Reeve drops below the lip of the pit, he sticks out his arms and catches himself.

Crunch:

Reeve discovers a pit trap, this also reveals a number of tiny rats scurrying about in the corner of the pit. Reeve Saves and is now prone in V31 and can continue with his minor and standard.

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.

I change from my humanoid form to the form of a wolf. While in wolf form, I retain my normal game statistics and size, but gain a +1 bonus to speed. My equipment becomes part of my wolf form. I continue to gain the benefits of the equipment I wear, except shields and item powers. While equipment is part of my wolf form, it cannot be removed, and anything in a container that is part of my wolf form is inaccessible. I gain proficiency with my bite while in wolf form. I treat my bite as a melee weapon with a +3 proficiency bonus, a 1d8 damage die, and the enhancement bonus of my primary weapon.

Sgian-dubh, Shade Warlock

Sgian-Dubh seems to meditate to himself for the briefest of seconds, muttering something under his breath, then lets loose a fiery blast of energy from his rod, that seems to appear from nowhere, of which appears to be a mix of arcane energy and fire, mixing together and flying through the air.

[Gillric]

Sgian-dubh unleashes a blast of arcane power towards the rats that strikes some of them but seems to do less damage than expected.

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.

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

Spoiler

Action point: Energizing Strike against W1 vs. AC...
(1d20+9)[15] counting the CA I granted...
for (1d10+4)[9] damage and Verin gets 5THP if I hit.

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.

Crunch:

Spoiler

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.

Crunch:

Spoiler

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

It is now Roderick's Turn.
