Palathadric · July 3, 2017

I attack the Jailer from the Front Row with the Slimy Sword.

Sorry guys, I wasn't able to get on and when I did, I didn't even see that there was an enemy. :blush:

Round 1 of Breaking Out the Informant

Vindsval vs Jailer: Shield Bash (20+9=29; 29-14=15dmg; 100-15=85HP; Jailer Stunned)

Grayson vs Jailer: Hit (27+10=37 dmg; 37-14=23dmg; 85-23=62HP)

Petaldan vs Jailer: Hit (32-14=18smg; 62-18=44HP)

Addok-Zo vs Jailer: Damage (7x1.5=11; 12-11=1HP)

Ezeran vs Jailer: Sleight of Hand (29-1=28 ether; Jailer confused)

Matthias vs Jailer: Locked Up (Matthias has ½ chance of deflecting, needs an even to succeed; rolled a 4, Matthias not bound)

CARTHAGO GUARDS 1-6 JOIN THE FIGHT!

The Heroes start off well with Grayson at their side in their attempt to free a servant of Calder Den. But once Addok-Zo is hit, the others start to falter. Ezeran makes up for it with a spell, and Matthis just barely gets out of reach of the jailer. But still, they were not fast enough, and the jailer calls for aid. Seems like this battle would take longer than they thought.

Asphalt · July 4, 2017

Vindsval watches as what should have been a simple negotiation turns into an attack by a group of thugs and degrades into a full on battle.

Zo, if you are to survive this journey you are going to need to find a change of clothing. Get to the back and heal yourself. Everyone else, pick a partner and be ready to dance. Ignore the first two guards until we even the odds. Captain Grayson, the Third guard is yours. If we are forced to kill these men, then do it quickly.

He takes a firmer grip on his sword and begins what once would have been a prayer, but now seems to be more of a chant of war. His pupils narrow to fine black points in a sea of blood, with a roar he charges the Jailer.

Vindsval attacks the Jailer from the Front Row with Ludeas. On a hit he swears an Oath of Retribution

Commander Grayson Attacks Guard Three From the Back Row with Longsword.

I attack Guard 1 from the Front Row.

I fear these men would not now give us the chance to back down. A rash decision forced us into this, and we must now finish it. They are indeed in the right, their gods will reward them for their valor.

"Oh, dear! Does that mean that we will lose? I don't like fighting valiant men."

"I thought as heroes we were supposed to be fighting bad guys, not noble men."

Vindsval's glare softens slightly in response to the youngling's pain.

There are times when the men who fight on all sides are valiant men young night, Free from the petty whims of their overlords, tyrants, or employers. We have yet to see where any of the leaders lay in terms of bad or good.

Getting annoyed at the child's hesitation to fight, he cracks. "Hey kid, in this world, it's either you or them. It's survival of the fittest. Fight now, think later."

A hard glint of fire appears in Ezerans eyes.

"Leave the kid alone sand herder and drink that potion in silence!"

Ezeran casts a fire spell at guard 2 from the back row and then casts a fire spell at guard 3 from the back row.

OoC: Ezeran used a smelling salt in the first round, It seems like it isn't in effect but I've set up two actions for this round.

Angered by the wizard's bigotry, Addok-Zo snaps back. "Shut it, wizard! We wouldn't be in this mess had you thought rationally. Fool."

Grayson holds his own against his target. The Boy Wonder shines as he takes his blade and shoves it deep into his target’s shoulder. Ezeran casts a spel, but the third Guard presses his advantage and binds the sorcerer.
