{Olde School} X2 - Castle Amber - IC

Semina rapidly approaches Jerrik, with her axe in the air. Sensing his awareness of her, she buries it in between his neck and shoulder. She watches the blood spray, and his collapse to the ground. She quickly recovers herself, and kneels to snap what is left of his neck.

Semina picks up the dead body and hides it under the nearest brush as quietly as possible. 'May the gods you worshiped welcome you with open arms,' she contemplates to herself. She will have to mourn later, for there is another scout somewhere near by. Semina conceals herself by the oak once more.

Heathcliffe whispers upon hearing the muffled sound, sling still readied, "What do you suppose that was? I hope the sister's alright."

Thraim stands up and moves forward fifteen feet, and kneels again. He aims his crossbow in the general direction of where he thinks that the other man will show up on the road.

(Roll for surprise)

[OOC: Thraim's surprise roll was a 4]

You are surprised for two segments, so the bandit gets two attack sequences with his short bow.

Thraim sets up to watch the woods, when a volley of arrows sings out from behind the brush, catching you unawares. The first shot whistles past your ear, with the second going wide. The third shot finds its mark in your kneeling leg, embedding itself in your thigh. The fourth shot is wild again. He seems to be shooting rather hastily, but you can make out his form well enough to take a shot. He has some cover, so it won't be target practice, but it won't be shooting in the dark, either.

(You can return fire, at -1 to hit. You get your two attacks from the Crossbow of Speed now, then everyone rolls initiative)

Thraim grunts as the arrow tore through his flesh, but keeps his breathing steady. He turns and quickly fires a bolt at the assailant, but misses with the shot. The motion to reload was rote now for Thraim, and before he even realized it, he was firing his second bolt at the bowman. The bolt struck true and hit its target.

[OOC- two crossbow attacks and damage roll (6 pts)]

"I suspect that was Semina. Killing someone, to be precise."

(OOC: Missed the next page again. Insert that before Thraim acted, please.)

StormBringer · November 23, 2008, 07:57:05 PM

The scout lets out a choked cry as the bolt skewers him through the left side of his abdomen, and stumbles back a few steps. He keeps his bow to hand, leaning against a tree, and takes in a deep breath.

"Colin! Enemies on the east! Attackers! Enemies to the rear!"

He draws another arrow from his quiver and prepares to shoot again.

(Initiative for everyone who wants to participate, we will take care of attack rolls later)

Narf the Mouse · November 23, 2008, 08:10:00 PM

(What's initiative at?)

StormBringer · November 23, 2008, 10:41:17 PM

(Initiative rules are in OOC now)

Venosha · November 23, 2008, 11:02:39 PM

Semina finishes wiping the blood off her hand axe, and prepares to sneak towards the other scout. 'I wonder where the other is hiding,' she concentrates.

Her head jerks up at the sound of fear bellowing from the right side of the road. 'Enemies, and attackers! Looks like we've been noticed,' she sighs. 'Better sneak up closer to the road, and take a look at reinforcements.'

(OCC: I will watch those who approach, and roll my initiative, when I can attack.)

Drohem · November 24, 2008, 03:09:24 AM

Thraim pulls the leather thong attached to his crossbow taught, and then swings the crossbow around to his back as he stands up and starts running. Thraim runs towards the bowman, drawing his longsword from its scabbard on his waist.

(OOC- Thraim's Initiative roll is a 2)

StormBringer · November 24, 2008, 09:54:22 AM

The bandit has drawn a short sword, and is preparing his defence.
