Continue sniping the Crownies. If any get close to me, I'll take an arrrow, and skewer them.

Certainly. That's the way it usually goes for me, I get distracted by shiny objects a damn lot. Let's see if this pulls Oloth back in.

Now, where were we...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thade silently bolts through the carts, dodging past the few rebels rushing to get to the front of the defending line. The trees are too far away to make a break for them for cover, but the wide open field doesn't look very inviting... Aha! A ditch lies next to the road that the rebels pulled off of to defend. Thade slips into the ditch as the rain continues to fall, making his way towards the unprotected back end of the rider's formation.

Turgo hefts his axe as the lead rider closes with him. The rider starts yelling obscenities as he hefts a large crossbow with some sort of contraption connected to the base of it in one hand. [STR Check: 7>2] [DAMAGE: 5] The rider flies forward, dropping the crossbow as Turgo cuts his horse out from under him. Turgo picks up the crossbow and empties it into the base of the rider's unprotected skull, instantly and messily killing him. He swings about and paces forwards as the next rider meets him, swinging a spear towards his head. The spear bounces off of his helm and he swings the axe towards the rider as the riders break like the tide upon the defensive group backing him up. Seeing this, the rest of the rebels charge, as the riders begin to flow around them.

Naussica spies an opportunistic target as a lone rider with a banner halts at the edge of the combat, in the midst of a few other riders. He takes the shot- [DEX: 10 Damage: 3], sending the rider staggering off of his horse and dropping to the ground. The others cluster around him. Obviously he hit an important target.

The archers can't fire into the melee and instead draw swords, leaping to the ground to defend the carts. The leader still stands on the cart next to Naussica and suddenly turns to him as an arrow wizzes past his ear. "I never had a chance to introduce myself. I am Dorse, leader of the rebel forces in this region. We have an agreement with the Mage's Retreat in these woods- if we can manage to hold the rider off for a bit longer, reinforement battle mages should arrive. Now come, we must get off this exposed cart." He leaps to the ground, followed closely by Naus as another arrow buries itself where they were standing.

A squad of Crown riders ride up next to where Thade is in the ditch. It looks like they have the man that Naussica shot, who seems to be in bad shape.

It's still raining.

I throw a dagger at the wounded-banner-dude, then retreat as far as I can quickly and quietly

Hack and slash, man, hack and slash. If I'm a one-trick penis, then I better be damn good at that one trick.

Come on Nauss! Don't make this take forever.

Also, oloth, are there any updates to the gods/ domains?

Post by **RagnarokRose** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 7:51 pm

I'm... going to skip Naussica. Again. Sorry mate. If you read this, check "Notify me when a reply is posted" when you post here.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dorse swiftly strides towards the melee, drawing his saber. Naussica hurries alongside, notching an arrow.

Thade suddenly, in one smooth motion, stands, flinging one of his knives towards the man's chest. It buries itself next to Naussica's arrow. He bolts down the ditch, running hell-for-leather towards the carts, as several arrows whistle past his ear. He doesn't think he killed the man though. As Thade reflects on it, he recognizes the man's face - it's the Baron of Horlk, the northern territory that the town you're escaping from is situated on the edge of.

Turgo grunts as another rider flops to the dirt in front of him. Two rebels with polearms are currently backing his considerable bulk up from behind. Turgo slashes the axe towards another rider who has dismounted, holding a bastard sword.
[Str:7, Dmg:5]
The man recieves a blow to his chest. Staggering, he thrusts outwards with the sword, dealing Turgo 2 damage. Turgo hacks at the man's head, immediately slaying him.

Do you think we should kill the baron, or let him escape. I'm all for the stabbing, but either way, we might make enemies.

Sorry guys, I've been sick for a while. Been coughing for four days.

Slice and dice all enemies, grab the baron, put him in a chokehold with my sword at his neck. "One step and he dies!" I yell.

Post by **Olothontor** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 12:44 am

That's the way to do it, Nauss.

Turgo will halt his attacks and glower at anyone who proceeds fighting (intimidate to aid Nuassica's attempt to stop the fighting?).

Post by **thade** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 1:24 am

I'll turn around and be prepared to take out the guards if something goes wrong.

Naussica pelts off towards Thade's location, drawing his shortsword. Rushing past Thade, Thade spins around and draws his sword as well. As Turgo emerges on the left side of the combat, he suddenly roars, casting down the rider who was in combat with him. Dorse sees what is happening, as Thade [4 3] slays the last of the Baron's guards and Naussica draws up to the baron.

"One step and he dies!"

Dorse yells, "HALT!"

The combat slowly ceases, as scattered engagements realise what's happening. The Baron looks upwards at Thade, whispering, "Please, I'll give you anything, don't kill me,"

You seem to have the situation well in hand... as a giant blue fireball erupts above the treeline, illuminating several cloaked figures walking out of the woods.
