[DFRPG] Crawl! IC

[Hide]

Bain advances quietly towards the creatures; he positions himself at about 5 yards above and at a distance of 4 yards, eliminating range penalties. Then, he camouflages and takes aim to strike: Three arrows take flight against the monsters, dealing up to 21, 21 & 24 HP of injury.

Blood will flow, bones will shake... it begins.

[vicious Violence]

Vic attacks the nearest creature and proclaims:

SING MY BEASTIES, JOIN THE CHOIR OF DEATH AND LAMENTS.

[ajardoor]

Bain and Vic slaughter four of the creatures in their surprise attack, tearing their frail bodies apart with brutal steel.

Completely spooked by the deadly ambush, the remaining creatures turn and flee, very fast.

(OOC: They Move 8 yards away, towards the tree line, hoping to escape the party. The treeline is 2 yards away, so the party has one second of action before they are gone.)

[PumpkinLorica]

After Vic's attack Gathika also strikes a monster down, she deals a 12 HP of injury!

[Hide]

Bain concentrates and quickly shoots another 2 arrows against the creatures, both projectiles hit their targets dealing up to 28 and 18 HP of injury, respectively.

The sky has fallen in cold steel pieces, you can no more stand up.

[vicious Violence]

No more wailing symphonies from you beasts, song is over

[ajardoor]

Four more of the wretched pests die, leaving the party in silent night and slightly covered by the monsters' internal fluids.

With no more threats in sight, the party bunks down and spends the rest of the night resting. They are not interrupted.

DAY 22

The next morning, the party shows the Keep authorities the corpses of the creatures. The resident sage confirms that they are "Leech Men" - stupid, cowardly bloodsuckers who sneak around and bite livestock or sleeping people.

Impressed and happy, the men of the Keep pay the party $400 each for the protecting their horses. The local patrols should be less disrupted now.

(OOC: The whole party also gets 1 bonus Character Point each.)

[Hide]

Bain thanks the men for their patronage, he tells them that if they require similar help in the future, the party might be able to help; he introduces the party (Vicious, Gathika and himself) as the Riddle of Steel.

If you are in need, seek the Riddle of Steel and you might find the answer.

He also tells them they are looking for Telrith Stone-Friend, the party’s wizard.

One of our members is missing; if you see a thin man with a large shield, talking to stones, that’s Telrith. If you have the chance, let him know we’ll be waiting for him at the usual place.

Bain bids goodbye and walks away with the party, heading to Broken Hilt for breakfast.

[PumpkinLorica]

Gathika is enjoying her breakfast, it’s the same thing the sergeant has a few days ago (eggs, apple, etc.)

COMRADES! The call of the voices is STRONG. I must claim the PRIZE before that pack of amateurs. WE RUSH! After breakfast ( • ̀ω•́ )✧.

(OOC: Just say when you guys are heading out, what you do before setting out, what skills you roll, and so on.)
