PBEM, Episode 69 - SalAdepts/Dining Room

SIXTY NINE

(I/C)
Brendon grabbed Wyn’s arm, “No one is expendable, except them. Let’s go dine!”

Abraxas shoved his sword ahead of him, uncertain and haltingly, “I need to get back amigos, I cannot see.”

Wyn nodded at the Scout and drew another arrow. “Monsieur Salazar, fall back en we cover you!"

Lyra snaked one arm around Abraxas and held her shield up, blocking the Adept’s blows, and taking the fighter’s place. “Go!” she ordered, “I have a plan,” sling wrapped around her hand as she grabbed her holy symbol.

Kovid meanwhile was swinging his hammer in ever increasing arcs, trying to batter the Adept before him. “Corfard can suck Thor’s balls! Hope you little freaks like being smashed to death. Grilljax can‘t raise you when you’re inside out! He’s next on my list, Kobold bitch!”

“Curse you, Rock Digger!” the Adept he was fighting hissed, slamming his club out at the dwarf.

Meanwhile from the back of the party near the crackling flames, Lannis had his Ishtari rod out and was laughing aloud, "Kovid! Hold a moment! You should always finish with a money shot! Oh,” he arced the magic item back and then slammed it forward, “And duck!" (1d3+1 Bolts, Pink 6 – 4 Bolts) It chattered to life and 4 crossbow bolts arced out as the counter chattered down to 16. The first one (>+5 to hit -2 penalty interference, Pink 15) streaked out hitting the adept in the head through the cowl (1d6 Damage: Red/Black 4 and killed!) and being wounded earlier, finished him off. The next bolt (>+5 to hit, -2 penalty, Black 17) struck the next Adept in the line high in the chest (1d6 Damage: Red/Black 5) where he staggered back choking. The next two bolts (<+5 to hit, -2 penalty Pink 5..<+5 to hit, -2 penalty Teal 2) although both struck the Adept, bounced off after loud clanging noises and failed to penetrate.

“Huzzah!” Kovid cried out, shifting his attention to the next now wounded Adept when Lyra finished off her prayer, “Aine, help us stop our foes in their tracks!” Red tendril snaked out from between her fingers (1d4 random #: White 4) and four streaks flew out at the Adepts next in line. (Save vs Spells 14 needed: Red/Green 9, Blue 19, Blue/Purple 8, Red/Black 18) And the power of her spell stopped the one in front of her and the one right behind that one (both unharmed till now) in their tracks.

“And that’s how Aine does it!”

With a clearer path in front of him, Wyn took aim at the wounded Adept and shot (<+5 to hit, Orange 3) but his shaft went wide. Brendon also took aim and fired (>+4 to hit, Red 14) and got a better bearing as his shaft hit the Adept in the gut (1d6 Damage: Red 6 and killed!) and drove it down to the ground, dying with a gurgling hiss.

Finally, so much of the hallway clear, Kovid was chuckling as he locked eyes with the “held” Adept , swung his enchanted hammer overhead, and then bashed it down on the unmoving and unable to defend itself Adept, crushing its skull and killing it instantly (No roll, dead!). “For Thor!”

(Initiative: Adepts Red/Black 4, Party Steel 6).

Seeing 1 more Adept held in place against the wall, and the last 3 further down – 2 with slings and one with a torch, the dwarf nudged Lyra in the side and laughed, “Shall we?”

Time now is: 10:59

(OOC)

Abraxas is in Dining room (no gorgon in here!), Wall of fire is for 2 more turns, 4 adepts left – 1 held, 3 ambulatory. 1 of the slingers still has his spell coming – others have all been used. Top of round 3 – your turn.

At end of the round will do a WMC – just a heads up!
