Corren is on point. </div> <div> Missiledine: It is pretty heavy, but it is manageable</div> <div> Missiledine: in front of the table?</div> <div> Docportal: <hope not.></div> <div> Dukejr01: table? Corren just moves ahead with shield and sword.</div> <div> Docportal: <Seige Crossbows. Tables will stand up to them better then your shield.></div> <div> Dukejr01: <shrug></div> <div> Missiledine: hang on, brb</div> <div> Dukejr01: <its not a bad idea to push the table ahead. Corren will range forward a bit and if he needs to duck back to cover, you will have that handy.</div> <div> Missiledine: sorry</div> <div> DawnUnicor: can i help with anything</div> <div> Dukejr01: sure. you can use this shield we found for you. carry a torch and keep a lookut.</div> <div> Missiledine: The elf will help push</div> <div> DawnUnicor: <dont ishild? ></div> <div> DawnUnicor: <have a shild></div> <div> Dukejr01: <dawn: you said you had no shield, even iof you don;t have the shield skill, the PD will apply to your armour. its a good idea to have one></div> <div> Dukejr01: <if you already have a shield then nevermind :-)></div> <div> Missiledine: I don't think she does</div> <div> DawnUnicor: <you got me one at the last place we were at> </div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> DawnUnicor: <its on my list></div> <div> Dukejr01: <cool></div> <div> Missiledine: ok then, Corren leads, :Long and Vance push the table, Dawn provides look out and rear guard</div> <div> DawnUnicor: <make sure no one comes near and if thay do i will tell></div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Docportal: that right.</div> <div> Missiledine: Corren:  The tunnel descends steadily, curving to your right as it does.  The floor looks clean of dust and debris, apparantly it sees a fair amount of traffic</div> <div> Dukejr01: k. crouch slightly and keep shield forward. </div> <div> Missiledine: continuing downwards for several hundred feet, you see ahead of you a dim red glow outlining the end of the tunnel and another set of gates, also closed</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren discards his torch well behind him and quietly moves up to the gate</div> <div> Missiledine: the area beyond the end of the tunnel appears to be a good size and the glow seems to come from the left, judging by the shadows</div> <div> Missiledine: how close?</div> <div> Dukejr01: Close enough to look thru the gate. I assume the racket that the table is making is well behind me?</div> <div> Dukejr01: ceough t seifiscner ha alok</div> <div> Dukejr01: ooops</div> <div> Missiledine: yes, about a hundred feet, but it is clearly audible</div> <div> Dukejr01: close enough to see if the gate has a chain or lock.</div> <div> Missiledine: a chain and lock</div> <div> Dukejr01: Look beyond, is there anyone visable?</div> <div> DawnUnicor: brb</div> <div> Missiledine: the chamber beyond is slightly lower then the tunnel, a short, steep ramp of about a yard in length leads from the gate to the floor.  The chamber is about thirty feet across and quite a bit more to either side ( you will need to</div> <div> DawnUnicor: <back></div> <div> Dukejr01: sheath sword, use the key on the padlock. stay behind the shield. if that fails use the prying method I used on the other chain.</div> <div> Missiledine: get very close to see how far)</div> <div> Missiledine: across the chamber are three other tunnels leading out and what seems to be a low stone wall about three feet high, forming a redoubt.  When you reach the gate a voice calls "Now!" A light shiones out of the center tunnel and </div> <div> Missiledine: dozen cross bows snap at you</div> <div> Dukejr01: yow.</div> <div> DawnUnicor: use shield</div> <div> Dukejr01: <he is :-)></div> <div> Missiledine: three bolts thunk into your shield, one carooms off your helmet and the rest richochet off the walls behind you.  </div> <div> Dukejr01: continue to undo lock.</div> <div> DawnUnicor: continuse to try to block the arrows</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren tries to keep his hand steady....</div> <div> Missiledine: The key is in it, but your having trouble.. the voice calls "Gorff!"</div> <div> Dukejr01: If the key is not the right one, use the pick tool to pry the key.</div> <div> Missiledine: From your immediate right a figure steps around and in his hands is a bucket, which he sloshes at you. Through the bars you are drenched in oil! </div> <div> DawnUnicor: can i see who is hitting me</div> <div> Dukejr01: naphtha?</div> <div> Missiledine: Dawn, you are not being attacked, the enemy is on the far side of the bars, you are in the tunnel</div> <div> DawnUnicor: nm</div> <div> Missiledine: some tipe of oil</div> <div> Missiledine: type</div> <div> Docportal: <run></div> <div> Dukejr01: k. continue to undo the lock.</div> <div> Docportal: <You must want to go out with a bang.></div> <div> Missiledine: from the glowing area to your left comes a flaming torch, is slams against the bars, splattering you with burning fragments and igniting the oil</div> <div> Dukejr01: is the key working?</div> <div> Missiledine: no</div> <div> Missiledine: you think something has been done to the lock tho</div> <div> Missiledine: to jam it</div> <div> Dukejr01: k. abandon the position then.</div> <div> Missiledine: however, you are now on fire!  </div> <div> Dukejr01: retreat up the tunnel</div> <div> Missiledine: Your arms, legs and breastplate are flaming, as is the front of your shield</div> <div> DawnUnicor: try to get to corren</div> <div> Missiledine: he is coming your way... kinda hard to miss him!</div> <div> Dukejr01: lol.</div> <div> Docportal: <run from him></div> <div> Missiledine: <Damn dwarven armor!></div> <div> Dukejr01: once aroudn the corner. corren stops drops the shield and rolls on the groudn to snuff the fire</div> <div> DawnUnicor:  get there cast shape fire and move the fire off of corren and on to the man that did it</div> <div> Dukejr01: <good idea but they are too far away to attack now></div> <div> Missiledine: you can't see anyone and the gate is well down the tunnel</div> <div> DawnUnicor: nm</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren tears off his flaming tabard with his gauntleted hand and uses it to wipe oil off his arms.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Docportal: <how bad is the damage to corren's sheild?></div> <div> DawnUnicor: use shape fire to move the fire off on corren</div> <div> Missiledine: Once you get rid of the talberd you also need to lose the gauntlets. Your leather boots were also soaked, near the tops, and are flaming as well</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay strip off all flaming bits. "Vance could you stamp the fire off my stuff?"</div> <div> Docportal: I move to help corren out.</div> <div> Missiledine: Between stamping and Dawn's spell you are soon out... However, you will have taken 1 point of damage, mostly in the leg area. Your boots will probably need replacing, though they will serve for now, and your pants, where they are</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren hurriedly smears andorra's hand over the burn.</div> <div> Missiledine: exposed from the armor, are a bit, ehhh, threadbare... not quite a danger to modesty, but close</div> <div> Dukejr01: lol. Corren the Threadbare.</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren rearmours.</div> <div> Dukejr01: Anyway. Corren explains the defenses while he reequips. did he see how many men came from behind the wall?</div> <div> Missiledine: the shots came from the tunnels, nothing from behind the wall</div> <div> Dukejr01: k.</div> <div> Missiledine: 4 of the bolts came from ordinary crossbows, two, at least, came from siege bows</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren has a plan. He will open the gate using the pick. we roll the table up as close as we can and guys use it for cover. if anyone pops up around to toss more oils, shoot him with xbows.</div> <div> DawnUnicor: ready a sleep spell just in case</div> <div> Dukejr01: do not shoot at random at no target. we will need to hit them hard when we come to grips</div> <div> Dukejr01: good idea, Dawn</div> <div> Docportal: "Two people loading xbows. I will fire them."</div> <div> Missiledine: peering down the tunnel, you can see that the gate is still illuminated, apparently the light is still focused on it. It seemed to come from a bullseye lantern</div> <div> Dukejr01: any questions?</div> <div> DawnUnicor: no</div> <div> Dukejr01: there is an idea. Vance can shoot the bullseye lantern with one xbow and grab another. we have three. all can be loaded beforehand.</div> <div> Docportal: "By chants there would be any more bolts in the store room would there?"</div> <div> Missiledine: maybe, you didn't open all the boxes and such</div> <div> Docportal: 4 xbow are in tow. Adding my bow in."</div> <div> Docportal: "well no time to go and look"</div> <div> Dukejr01: we go with what we got. Move table forward. Corren sets to work on the chain. Vance shoot bullseye lantern. then grab another bow to attack anyone with a bucket of oil.</div> <div> Missiledine: you start pushing the table down the tunnel. As you approach the gate a voice calls "Who are you?"</div> <div> Docportal: Using my bow take out the lamp.</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Just looking for my friend, if you give up we won;t have to fight."</div> <div> Missiledine: you shoot and you see the light go out</div> <div> Docportal: drop it and get another bow.</div> <div> Dukejr01: <good shot!></div> <div> Missiledine: "Damn fools! Another step and we start killing the hostages!"</div> <div> Docportal: Try to locate another target.</div> <div> Missiledine: you can't see anything else to shoot at for the moment</div> <div> Dukejr01: "What hostages? We are not from around here, you might notice. What are hostages to us?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren is steadily working.</div> <div> Missiledine: You hear the voice call "Groff! Bring Lord Ashton's son out here. If they don't throw down their weaopons on the count of three. Slit his throat!"</div> <div> Missiledine: "Aye, my Lord."  There is a long silence</div> <div> Docportal: Take aim at the man. 1 second of aiming. Once I see him.</div> <div> DawnUnicor: cast light spell on a coin </div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren is working on the chain without pause.</div> <div> Missiledine: "Not from around here eh? Lord Ashton brought you in, now he'll pay!"</div> <div> Dukejr01: <Dawn be ready to Sleep this throat slitter></div> <div> DawnUnicor: if i can see the people use sleep spell</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren laughs. "Lord Ashton exiled us from Sharpstone, he would kill us if he knew we were here."</div> <div> Missiledine: From the tunnel oh the right appears a big man in scale armor. He is carrying a boy of about 8 years old, holding him up like a shield in front of him. A knife is against his throat... The link is beginning to give....</div> <div> Missiledine: "If he really wanted you out, he'd have confiscated your weapons. He didn't."</div> <div> Dukejr01: "I killed one of his men and almost gutted another. a third leader in plate fell, proably to his death.... Ashton is most likely to kill me."</div> <div> DawnUnicor: Thorw the coin in the room</div> <div> Missiledine: "They were our men you fool!"</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren mutters under his breath. "Sleep that man."</div> <div> DawnUnicor: if i can see him use sleep spell</div> <div> Missiledine: you cast the sleep spell... the boy goes limp, but the man is unaffected</div> <div> Missiledine: "One." The voice calls</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Huh," says Corren, "maybe you should tell us what is really going on then."</div> <div> Dukejr01: <does Vance have a shot?></div> <div> Docportal: Fire</div> <div> Missiledine: he can try. If he blows it the boy is dead</div> <div> DawnUnicor: try to get the man with the sleep spell next</div> <div> Dukejr01: how long has Vance had to aim?</div> <div> Missiledine: <hang on a sec, rolling some dice></div> <div> Dukejr01: <good luck all! ></div> <div> Missiledine: <3 rds></div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren mutters a prayer to Mitra.</div> <div> Docportal: <this is were we make it or brake it></div> <div> Missiledine: Vance shoots, the bolt whizzes past the unconscious boy and hits Groff in the chest. The impact of the bolt (ST 30) knocks the big man backwards, causing him to drop the child who falls to the floor and cries out in suprise</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Mitra protect the innocent." Corren prays briefly. Corren is a great believer in gettting to the point"</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren wrenches at the chain.</div> <div> Missiledine: the link you were working on snaps, at the same time the voice calls "Shoot the boy!"</div> <div> Docportal: "Long get in there. I will cover you."</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren is hustling</div> <div> Docportal: drop and grab another xbow</div> <div> Dukejr01: <grab another xbow doc> Can we see anythign with the light spell in there?</div> <div> Dukejr01: <nice shooting doc></div> <div> Docportal: <Thanks></div> <div> Missiledine: The big man, Groff, seems to jerk once and lay still.... The elf shoves the gate open and hurls himself to cover the child</div> <div> DawnUnicor: try to cast sleep spell on the man groff</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren hurls himself at the enemy. he jerks out Weft and shouts his battle cry.</div> <div> Docportal: <Groff is most likely die.></div> <div> Missiledine: from the recesses of the opposite tunnels, and from concealed areas on either side of the tunnel you are exiting, crossbows snap and twang</div> <div> Dukejr01: <geoff is dead, dawn></div> <div> DawnUnicor: nm</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren charges the xbows.</div> <div> Dukejr01: left.</div> <div> Docportal: I target right. </div> <div> Docportal: If I get a shot I take it.</div> <div> DawnUnicor: dawn goes and check the tunnels</div> <div> DawnUnicor: but carefulley</div> <div> Missiledine: Long covers the child, who was starting to rise, knocking him down... in the process Long takes four bolts, two from siege bows. The rest richochet off the floor</div> <div> Dukejr01: <oh shit!></div> <div> Dukejr01: Damn, Corren's respect for the elf will soar.</div> <div> Missiledine: Long is pinning the boy down but is not moving himself</div> <div> Docportal: Sword and shield move to the kid.</div> <div> DawnUnicor: cast  sleep spell down one of the tunnles</div> <div> DawnUnicor: after go to see long</div> <div> Missiledine: from either side of the tunnel you exit, comes two men in scale with shields and shoertswords... from the opposite tunnels comes four more men, two from one and one from each of the others. They also have shields, shortswords </div> <div> Missiledine: and scale armor</div> <div> Dukejr01: 8 total?</div> <div> Docportal: For get last move. Take one last shot then move into room.</div> <div> DawnUnicor: ready shield and sword</div> <div> Missiledine: the sleep spell is cast successfully and you hear a crashing sound as an armored man collapses down the center tunnel, causing the man coming out to turn and look back</div> <div> Missiledine: <so far></div> <div> Dukejr01: "Get the boy out, Dawn!"</div> <div> DawnUnicor: grab tHE BOY AND RUN</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren and Vance will cover Dawn's retreat. how wide is the tunnel?</div> <div> Missiledine: okay, first things first... Long rushed in first, Corren second and headed for the left tunnel. Vance called a shot at any ready target. Dawn cast a spell. So... Long is down, Corren meets the two men coming out the left tunnel...</div> <div> Missiledine: Vance will get first shot against the man in the center tunnel. Dawn's spell is done</div> <div> Dukejr01: right. Block/thrust. attack the one on the right, block one on the left.</div> <div> Dukejr01: <k></div> <div> Missiledine: Vance... you hit him in the shoulder even as he turned to see what happened to the man behind him</div> <div> Missiledine: he is badly hurt but still up.</div> <div> Dukejr01: <got another bow, vance?></div> <div> DawnUnicor: grab xbows and hands them to vance as he needs them</div> <div> Docportal: <Yes></div> <div> Docportal: Grab next bow and take aim.</div> <div> Missiledine: Dawn, as you charge to the boy, you will be intercepted by two men coming at you from your right, from hidden posistions to the right of your tunnel</div> <div> Docportal: for 1s. then fire. ones close to dawn.</div> <div> Dukejr01: 10 now? shit.</div> <div> DawnUnicor: use sleep spell</div> <div> DawnUnicor: on the men</div> <div> Missiledine: Corren, you are against the two from the left tunnel... they attack, you block one and parry the other.. you counteer and are blocked</div> <div> Dukejr01: what is their leg armour?</div> <div> Missiledine: <No, not ten.
