LPDnD: Life is a Highway

[Staris]

How far have we traveled from when Tony and Victea startled the animals and are the men heading to that spot or in our direction?

Perception +1 Victea
[dice]0[/dice]

[OOC Perception roll in cause I need for determining the direction the men are headed.]

[Blackferne]

They are headed to that spot where the startle happened. Part of the problem though is that the animals react to you guys moving. You've gone 30 yards since the first shout.

[Jimer Lins]

No choice but to keep moving.

Trinal will fall back a little toward the tail of the party- not any great distance, just enough to make sure they're in front of him. I then select one of the animals facing away from us and as we pass hunched over and moving, I'll give it a sharp jab with my staff in the flank, to startle it into moving away from us and distracting the men coming into following the larger disturbance it should make. I make sure I'm not DIRECTLY behind it, so as not to get kicked and I don't stop moving.

*poke*

[Blackferne]

The startled horse kicks. Back and starts running cutting a path ahead of it. The Patrol splits one goin after the horse trying to calm it down, and the other going to the origination of the path.

"DROW! WE GOT DROW!" He shouts rousing the others at the tent who start wading into the herd with torches in hand and swords drawn.

[Jimer Lins]

We'll keep going. I'll keep poking horses with my staff in the flank, again avoiding their rear area and only choosing ones facing away from the direction we're going. I get a few of them moving and they should have more to worry about than us.

[Blackferne]

After the second horse is hit the animals start clearing away from you fearful they will be struck as well. It isn't a stampede, but they are definitely moving swiftly. This gives the military folks a clear view of the party among the clearing herd.

"Halt! You are under arrest!" says one of them.

There are a total of 4 nearby and two more by the tent.

[Whiteness]

Syric, tired of the sneaking and almost happy to have been spotted by the guard will stand and charge at the nearest military folk.

"FOR GOBO!!!!"

[Jimer Lins]

Oh, come on. Can we tell by their uniforms which faction they represent?

[Blackferne]

They are Army of Blood.

[Furiel]

So what was the point of rolling stealth previously when a poor nature roll reveals us anyway? I mean really, a fucking Dragon would have had trouble noticing me with a 30 yet a herd of animals can? And now that the herd has moved my 30 was useless...

[Blackferne]

The stealth was for the people, the nature was for the animals who you were walking alongside.

Syric beat baddies. Good guys are up.

[Jimer Lins]

Taking advantage of the +2 speed boost, Trinal dashes forward. His body flares into sparks, jumping from enemy to enemy, hitting 2, 1 and 4 with a flash of electricity, and ending up facing 3. "Hi there." He smiles and using an action point, breathes a faceful of acid at him.

Spark Form: Shift speed +2 through enemies, attacking Cha vs Reflex (d20+13) for each. Damage is 1d6+11 to any hit.

Syric moves forward and targets 2 with a Demoralizing Strike

dmg
[dice]1[/dice]

[Blackferne]

Trinal becomes a sparking conduit of power leaping from foe to foe inflicting damage on 1 (12 pts) and critically sparking 4 for 34pts of damage. He lands and sprays his tempest breath seemingly doing nothing to number 3.

Syric connects a blow onto 2 for 16 points of damage and sundering his armor.

Victae double moves to behind Syric with her polearm at the ready.

[Staris]

Unless it looks like the rest are unable to handle the guards Stavis will try and sneak over to the fencing on the other side of the fighting to break open a hole to allow the animals to escape.

[Furiel]

Tony makes a normal move then attacks 3 with Deft Strike to give me the extra movement to reach him.

"Lovely night for you to go meet Orcus don't you think?"
Tony says with a predatory grin

[Blackferne]

Stavis undoes one of the fence planks. The fence is poorly constructed.

Tony leaping to his victim finds his blade hit at a poor angle and fails to pierce the target.

Baddies up.

[Blackferne]

1 and 2 move to flank Syric.

You notice they have dropped the torches and have a katar blade in each hand. The armor has a grey shimmer to hit and they have some tattoos on their face in the form of runes.

"Not drow, but either way, not up to any good." 1 says as he does a magical special attack [Cage of Gloom]

[OOC roughly how many planks will I need to pull to open a large enough hole for the animals to easily escape. ]

Syric quickly shifts out from between them and again targets 2.
