Sky Ruler (LDD RPG)

[Semaj Nagirrac]

Patrick and Marko approach the north men.

"Hello!" says Patrick cheerfully. "Perhaps you good men could assist my friend and I. You see, we are searching for one of our companions and if you have any information regarding his whereabouts, it would be greatly appreciated."


The north men stare back, not saying anything. After an awkward moment, one of them calls to the boat.


Two more north men jump off the boat and walk up to Patrick and Marko. The one with long black hair speaks.

"You say your looking for your friend, eh? Well, the lads and I may be of service to you, but..."


"... there are not many who travel the shadows lands in such a small group, which tells me you're very brave or very stupid. Either way, you two better tell me more about who you are and this friend you seek. Speak quickly or I'll have your arms ripped off!"

Patrick and Marko look at one another, hoping one of them will come up with a plan to either fight or talk their way out.


"I have a clear shot on the far right man." says Elos, unable to hear what is going on, but can clearly see danger. "What do we do, Aoishi?"

"Well I said much the same thing to our friend, Feris Abuval, but he just wouldn't give up. He snuck away in the dead of night, so I didn't get to rip his arms off. And so myself, Sean Connery, and this great big hunk of metal who calls himself Knight are off to find him, although I've been persuaded to let him keep his arms. "


OOC: the misspellings and miss names are intentional.

[Silverdream]

Sir Marko

Let Patrick do the talking. If they try anything funny, stab their leader in the neck.

[Falk]

Wait until they attack to come out of the forest, maybe take cover behind the tree.

"Well I said much the same thing to our friend, Feris Abuval, but he just wouldn't give up. He snuck away in the dead of night, so I didn't get to rip his arms off. And so myself, Sean Connery, and this great big hunk of metal who calls himself Knight are off to find him, although I've been persuaded to let him keep his arms. " says Patrick, trying to get the North men's minds off violence.


"Well now," begins the north man, "isn't that interesting boys? A Dar'Duathan that claims he can rip off a man's arms."

The others chuckle.

"If you are so strong, then perhaps you'd like to try your luck against one of my men!"


Before he knows it, Patrick is surrounded by the others, facing the strongest of the group.


"I'm gonna rip off yer head and spit down yer throat!" shouts the man Patrick will wrestle.


"Now remember," says the leader, "If you win, we'll let you know if we've seen your little friend. If you lose, you come with us and you're going to wish we had ripped your arms off instead."


Meanwhile, Aoishi and Elos have successfully moved behind some trees without being detected. They are now close enough to hear what everyone is saying. They heard the last bit the north men's leader said.

"I have a clear shot of everyone, except for the leader and the man with the double headed axe. If Patrick and Marko move, then I can hit them." says Elos.

Aoishi studies the scene carefully.


Overview

[Silverdream]

I'm going to stay put and not intervene unless the Northmen do. Good luck Patrick.

[mercury19]

OOC: now I should have seen that coming. Oh well.

Go straight for a headlock, use the other guys momentum against him. If contact is allowed, then go for a gut shot, then either nose or chin.

Be ready to back me up.

[Silverdream]

Wait, actually, I'm going to wait for an oppurtunity to stab the other guy he's wrestling.

Chival code does not apply to Northmen, and I'm not in much of a mood to deal with them.

[Falk]

Stay hidden, attack if necessary.

[Semaj Nagirrac]

Patrick and the north man start wrestling. It soon becomes very clear that Patrick is going to lose.


Not wanting to waste any more time, Marko decides to eliminate the competition.


He's not very sneaky about it and the other north men spring into action.


Marko kills the wrestling north man, while the two carrying large axes rush at him. Angry with Marko's attack, the leader instructs the shield brother to take a swing at Patrick. The sword brother does and Patrick suffers a devastating hit.


"The price for cowardice is death!" shouts the leader as he gets ready to take off Patrick's head.


An arrow brushes over Patrick's head and lands passes cleanly through the leader's eye.


Aoishi sprints toward the fray while Elos readies another arrow.


Overview

[mercury19]

If we are aloud to use magic, than I am going to turn around and burn my assailants face. A lot.

If not, then I'm going to book it over to my stuf.

[Silverdream]

Try to tank their swings, and stab them in the side where they're unguarded.

[Falk]

Take out one of the axe men.

[Semaj Nagirrac]

Sorry it's been a few days, guys. I'll post the results later tonight.

[Semaj Nagirrac]

Patrick uses his magic to set the sword brother on fire, but his attack is blocked.


Trusting the armor he wears, Marko decides to take the hits from the axe men.


He takes no damage as his armor absorbs the impact, but he is knocked down. The axe men prepare to strike again.


With lightning speed, Aoishi arrives and slashes at a north man.


His attack is critical, and takes the head off an enemy!


Seeing how they're out numbered, the remaining north men throw down their weapons.


"Do not think of us as cowards. We know when we are beaten. Please allow us to return to our families and we'll give you anything you want." Says the bearded north man.
