In between the two elven roads

[Shademan]

after some minutes of waiting the elven carriage comes. It looks like a living plant. made of silver and whatnot, but still! it is pulled by two white steeds and have a elf in a silvery chainmail driving it. in front of the carrige, two mounted elves in beautifully crafted banded mails ride, and the same behind it. the coach is now halfway on the "assumed elven road". soon it will reach the marked elven road....

((the assassin have studied the driver since he was visible, which was over 20 seconds))

[mangosta71]

At the first sound of the carriage, Zazalemal quietly utters a few words and waves his hand. Four glowing spheres appear at his fingertips. They begin to circle each other and bob up and down as they move between and around trees in a complicated dance. Zazaleam turns so that the carriage will be behind him and watches the balls of light.

As the carriage comes up behind him, Zazalemal calls out in Elvish, "Hail, my brethren. Is it not a glorious day to be riding? Even the will-o'-wisps are at play."

[Shademan]

The elves slow down " Its a nice night indeed, but these are ill times and our mission is urgent, be so kind and move out of the way." they say in a polite yet determinant tone. oh, and they say it in elven!

[mangosta71]

Zazalemal stretches slowly before responding. "Urgent? It seems a shame to be in a hurry on such a day as this. I do hope that your business is not too serious. Worrying about such a thing would quite spoil my mood. The beauty of the forest is best appreciated in tranquility. Don't you agree?"

[Shademan]

the carriage and the elven riders slow down even further but theyre also getting closer.....
"we have to transport someone." one of them say in a now slightly suspicious tone

[BizzaroStormy]

Attack - (1d20+11)[19]
Damage - (1d8)[7]
Sudden Strike - (3d6)[7]
Sneak Attack - (1d6)[5]
((Death Attack, Fort Save or Die.))

Adrius takes careful aim. The wind is right, the bolt is sharp, and he can draw a clear bead on the throat of his target. He fires.

[Shademan]

(1d20+5)[12]

the elf nearly dosnt budge. he just cramps a little and stop moving. the elves got no clue!

[BizzaroStormy]

Adrius now begins studying one of the guards on the carriage. His intent is very clear.

((Hehe, assassins rule))

[Shademan]

well there is no actual guards ON the carrige. but there is two guards riding in front of it and two behind.

1...2
.!!!!.
.!!!!.
3...4

siee? number=guard

now the drow must disstract them... and MAKE A BLUFF CHECK!

[mangosta71]

Zazalemal shakes his head, as if abruptly awakening from a trance. "Oh, I'm sorry. I suppose you gentlemen are in too much of a hurry to enjoy the forest with me properly." He guides his horse to the side of the road.

(1d20+3)[15] Bluff

[Shademan]

the rider who have done all the speaking to now (who you suspects migh be a captain or whatnot) nods and motion the others to move. he stops next to Zaz and asks "tell me... what are your name?"

[BizzaroStormy]

((Gonna go ahead and post this for when I've had the 18 seconds to study the target))

His study complete, Adrius takes a shot at his 2nd target.
Attack - (1d20+11)[27]
Damage - (1d8)[7]
Sudden Strike - (3d6)[16]
Sneak Attack - (1d6)[2]

[mangosta71]

Zazalemal strikes out, his blade appearing as his hand moves toward the guard who addressed him.

(1d20+8)[26] Attack
(1d6+4)[5] Damage
(2d6)[3] Psionic Weapon
(1d8)[7] Psychic Strike

He cackles madly. "My name is death!"

[Shademan]

Zazalemal's attack causes the elf major wounds, but does not kill him.
He retaliates and shouts "AMBUSH!"
attack roll (1d20+3)[8]
potential damage: (1d8)[4]

the two elves in the back cast a spell at the two in front.
(two secret rolls)
and a shimmering orb surrounds them for a second before it becomes invisible.

the other elf in the front attacks Zazalemal with his longsword.
(1d20+2)[15]
potential damage: roll didnt work. i roll IRL: 7.

Adrius: who is your second target?

[BizzaroStormy]

I guess the elf in front that he wasnt talking to.

[Shademan]

yor arrow hit a invisible wall.
it stands still in the air next to the elfs neck before in falls to the ground.
the barrier however, shatters from the blow.

[BizzaroStormy]

Alright then, time for regular combat.

Initiative - (1d20+8)[13]
Attacking the front elf again.
Attack - (1d20+11)[20]
Damage - (1d8)[8]
Sneak Attack and Sudden Strike - (4d6)[13]
Dex Damage, DC 14 to ignore - (1d6)[3]

For Mango:

Spoiler

The tile I gave you is a Potion Tile of Mirror Image, Caster Level 3

[Shademan]

even though is not yet your turn (we dont really use initiative here...)
i must say this:
the arrow hits and is stuck in the armour. it dont appear to have penetrated the skin of the elf! fiddlesticks!

[BizzaroStormy]

He has DR 21+ ? WTF? If we dont use initiative then can I replace my improved initiative with another feat?

[Shademan]

they ARE royal guards. with special armour (no **** sherlock!?) and high dex.
sure you can. i was gonna suggest you do that...

[mangosta71]

Zazalemal deftly parries the incoming blows as he wheels his horse around. His blade crackles as he thrusts it at the injured guard's neck.

(1d20+8)[20] Attack
(1d6+4)[6] Damage
(1d8)[7] Psychic Strike

[Shademan]

the guard (or rather, Captain.) ducks with uncanny speed.
"To slow! shark-worshiper!"

((now we wait for Cabal to attack))

[Faithless]

((Wait we're not using initiative. Ah well.))

I run up to the carriage door, open it and offer my hand.

"You must hurry princess. We must leave it isn't safe here."

[Shademan]

the princess raises her hand and shoots a magic missile in your face.
(4d4+3)[10]
total damage.

[BizzaroStormy]

Damn, shes a 7th level caster? Also you need to add another 1 to that damage. 1d4+1 per missile.

[Shademan]

eh? 7th? but theres ONE missile per level, aight?

you heard him! take another damage!

[BizzaroStormy]

No, its one missile at 1st level, then another every 2 levels after .2 at level 3 and so on. It would be broken at one per level. have it maximized (easy at 4th level.) thats 4d4+4 damage or 20 damage that the enemy has literally no chance of avoiding, bypasses all damage reduction, spell resistance, and can be cast a crap load of times in one day.

[Shademan]

aaaah.
then some regulations are in order...

then its more like (2d4+2)[9]
