[DFRPG] Crawl! IC

[ajardoor]

Telrith orders his forces forward a step.

TURN 11

The last enemy Steps forward and prepares to attack...he does not get the chance as Vic charges and knocks him down cold with a brutal slash!

(OOC: combat has ended. All characters lose FP according to their encumbrance level, as the exhaustion of fighting hits.)

All around the party, an eerie quiet has settled in. The corridor is still inadequately lit, and the bodies of the dead and wounded lay piled on the floor up and down the hallway.

Gathika quickly checks the vitals of the fallen Bandits, and cuts their throat regardless of finding they are dead or alive. She whispers:

FEED THE ELDERS! Make sure your souls nourish the lives of the ANCIENT ONES and let your despair attest for MY FAITH.

At some point, Gathika remembers it is best to choke the fallen enemies with a bow, so she saves one of the near-dead bandits to strangle him.

COMRADE BAIN LOOK AT ME! (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)

She waits for Bain’s approval.

[Hide]

Bain notices Gathika is about to kill everyone. He calmly approaches her, stands at her back and restrains her with a surprise judo lock. Forcing her to release the bandit.

Calm, down, KITTY.

[PumpkinLorica]

Gathika tries to get free from Bain using her Wrestling (10), but fails (3d6=12)! She struggles to resist a take down, but fails again (3d6=14)! She does not want to submit, but Bain overwhelms her.

LEMME GO! In the name of the ELDERS I MUST KILL! ARGGGGH! (ﾐዋ ﻌ ዋﾐ)

Gathika cries loudly as foam comes out from her mouth.

[Hide]

Bain wrestles with Gathika, and quickly pins her down, as he flawlessly succeeded at the contests of skill and strength:

Keep, calm. I will let you go ONCE you promise me you will save the bandit for LATER. OK?

[PumpkinLorica]

Gathika is not very happy to let the man "go", and she’s sort of angry at Bain. However, she seems to have controlled her bloodlust.

MEH! OK DEAL. He will die, eventually /ᐠ ᵒ̴̶̷̥ ᆽᵒ̴̶̷̥ ᐟ\

[Hide]

Good, we have to make sure this guy speaks. Let’s disarm and restrain him; could you help us with the knots, Vicious? And Gathika, try patching his wound.

Bain proceeds to remove the weapons from the man, and then to recover his arrows.

[vicious Violence]

In the contest of life, these bandits chose the wrong cards. Fates collided and the Gods favored us. The smell of death and defeat will never leave these caves.

Vic helps to tie up the surviving bandit.
Knot tying skill level 15, rolled 8, SUCCESS

[Hide]

Wise words my friend, fate conspired to arrange this meeting. Let's load the cart with the loot.

[PumpkinLorica]

Once the bandit is tied, Gathika will -under protest- cast stop bleeding on the bandit to -save him for later-
