Working the room

Liana's foes were tough; but she was gratified to see that in combination she took one of them down, and she injured two others.

If they were busy drinking potions, well, that gave her more time to shoot them, while they weren't shooting back. She could keep up that tradeoff all day. The cold, calculating side of her mind calmly approved of this, and rapidly absorbed other tactical facts; while the other half of her mind simmered with rage at these foes, hammering out invisible waves of passionate energy, bending the battle gradually toward the outcome her faith demanded.

Liana concentrated, the psionic force of her mind steading her first attack and lending it great precision. At the same time this zealous focus allowed her to recover her expended Golden Lion shout, and her Zeal +1 morale bonuses to attacks for everyone in collectiveinspired everyone in her collective to fight more fiercely.

Her fingers moved in a blur of haste as she shot, three times, with fire, acid and supernatural force. She aimed most precisely at the nunchaku wielder hit for 17 damagestriking him with fire and acid. Then she shot more hurriedly at the sai wielder, missing by a wide margin. The at the red goblin -- she hit! Critical hit for 23 (a critical does not multiply her energy damage though.)She landed her searing and hissing bolt upon a vulnerable spot.

 


She took a 5' step east, so she could rely on the wall for cover if Tarbin choose to move away.

Tarbin Haldar
right-aligned image
Tarbin took a deep breath and raised up his shield as once again the scene around him erupted in to absolute chaos. ’Just like being back in the arena…” the large man thought to himself. And predictably enough the goblins were trying to fire arrows back towards Liana after she had released her own barrage. Rather calmly Tarbin angled his shield and almost nonchalantly swatted the arrows away.

The speed of the charging ninja however took Tarbin by surprise and before he could properly react he found his head clipped by a rather unusual weapon causing him to slightly stumble backwards.

”Ouch!” Tarbin exclaimed with a rather stern look. ”Why do they always go for the head?” the large man questioned.

”Well you can’t say I didn’t ask nicely…” Tarbin declared as he made a fist that rapidly hardened until it was hard as a club. The large man then lashed out with a powerful blow aiming for the ninjas face.

Afternoon Shift
right-aligned image
Kara missed her real target in her flurry of shots. She clicks her tongue from behind cover, where she had just dodged the goblin's wild swings through the door. She glances at her compatriot at the same window, "Yeah, that is Lungri. I'd appreciate it if he doesn't leave this building intact."

She looks to the goblin through the wall, "I'll handle this one, you handle a runner." She thinks of all the other targets and opportunities, and the glimpse of those red sashes. She mutters to herself, "He cannot be alive."

Kara shifts position away from the door and gives the goblin a deathly stare, "You are in the way." She says, before loosing two arrows into his form.

Identity confirmed. As Kara expressed her desire to keep the bastard from escaping, Damien nodded, taking a step back to avoid the wild swings of a nearby goblin trying to get at them through the busted window.

""Tall goblin?" Been a while since I heard that one." Almost on cue, Kara's bolts plowed one after the other into the goblin causing the bold little creature to go limp. "Range... well, WEAPONS really, aren't my specialty, but until I can get closer, I'll do my best." Grabbing the edges of the window frame, Damien planted a foot on the dead goblin's chest, pushing it back as he swung into the building and immediately reached for his crossbow.

Damien knew it was stupid to enter a burning building surrounded by people who were stronger than he was... but he wasn't about to let any of these bastards get away with making fools out of them, or beating the hell out of one of their own and getting away with it.

"Where do you think you're going Kitty?" Damien dashed along the wall, raising his crossbow as he finally got a clear shot on the two ninjas in hiding. "Sorry, but we've got business with the baldie in the chair... and you, as a matter of fact." Stopping by the window, the vishkanya fired a bolt across the flame-filled room and into the closest of the two ninjas.

The Ambushers are AmbushedLungri was about to make some other demand when Damien's crossbow bolt sank into the blue ninja's shoulder. There was no sound save for the awful THUNK of metal meeting shoulder. As soon as it did, a dead body tumbled their way - the goblin who had attacked Damien, both of Kara's arrows lodged in his eyeballs, as he rolled across the floor with such force as to be launched across the entire room. He and the red-sashed ninja rose to a stand, and the two of them seemed to make a decision about Lungri's offer to run with their lives.

Both of them were staring at Kara, still.

The blue one pointed towards Vyeggar and Tarbin, and the red ninja ran off, sai in hand and spinning viciously. Then, while still looking at Kara, he charged towards Damien. His feet were so fast that they patter-pattered across the ground like raindrops. He stopped, but his feet continued to skate across the wet alcohol-soaked floor, slick and smooth. His hands reached for his scabbard. His eyes flicked to Kara. He wanted her to watch as he attacked Damien. His katana swung as he nearly stopped in front of Damien. It sliced across the vishkanya's chest, not deep enough to be fatal but carving a great bow of blood in the air, which evaporated in the intensifying heat of the burning dockhouse.

The rest of the fight was going poorly. Shre'Dar was ready to deliver his coup de grace, the greatest blow that any within his company had seen him deliver, to his most hated enemy... the moment he had sprung back up, it was straight into a forced headbutt against his purple-sashed colleague, courtesy of Vyeggar. The leader of the ninjas collapsed into a bloody heap as the blow was done, face pooling with blood and drifting into unconsciousness. The orange-sashed ninja had an equally smashed face, courtesy of Tarbin's hardened fist crashing into him. He stumbled awkwardly, leaving him open for Liana's crossbow bolt to slam into his stomach.

The red ninja tried to hurry to support both of his allies but, wounded heavily, he smashed gut-first into the table rather than spinning over it. Grunting in rage, he drew a large dagger from his belt and hurled it at Vyeggar haphazardly, all rage and no aim.

Meanwhile, the purple and orange ninjas struck, with two nunchaku flailing at Tarbin wildly now, and both ends of the quarterstaff scything at Vyeggar. The nunchucks failed uselessly against Tarbin's shield, with one rattling hopelessly against the hard wood, and the other bouncing so hard that it smashed into the ninja's own wrist, causing him to yelp in pain. The purple ninja's strikes were far more precise. The first smashed into his knee, causing the half-orc to buckle. This set up a second, a straight punch to the solar plexus that shattered at Vyeggar's heart. He could feel his body wobbling, eyes watering, innards liquifying with that one devastating punch.

The goblins lacked the ninja's do-or-die commitment to battle.

One had been struck in the chest by Liana. He just had time to look down at the crossbow bolt lodged in him to see magical sparks fly this way and that. The alcohol suddenly ignited and he burst into flames all at once. There was a screeching wail as the goblin, and the floor around him, was engulfed into a huge fireball. The last goblin standing, seeing this, shot a hasty arrow towards Kara, missing uselessly, and trying to flee. One table was expertly bound over. The other was awkwardly scrambled on top of.

And all the while, Lungri dragged his prisoner towards the stairs, with only escape on his mind while his subordinates fought and failed, and his prisoner dragged his feet desperately.
Out of CharacterIf Vyeggar fails a Will Save of DC15 or is not healed immediately, he will drop to 0hp and begin dying. DC15 Will Save will stop the bleeding, being healed will increase his current HP. Also, if anyone is near a fire, to risk stating the blindingly obvious, you don't want to be in the same space as the fire when it hits you.

Vyeggar Vugmuk

If the half-orc was expecting the skulls of the two ninjas to shatter like a couple of eggshells as he struck them together, he was horribly disappointed.

”What the hell?” he growled, uncertain why the unconscious Shre’Dar was merely unconscious. It irked him, seeing the figure still drawing breath – albeit a weak, blood-filled, shallow breath – but still, it was the principle of the thing.

*BAM!*

A solid thud to the chest from the shaken purple ninja shook Vyeggar from his grumbling and sent him to a knee. He was suddenly struggling to breathe, his chest felt like a steel safe had fallen onto it, and he wondered if he were dying. He could only make small, quick breaths, little sips for air as he tried to sort out if every single one of his ribs had been turned into powder.

Dice * Will Save vs bleeding:
1d20-1sch15 (19)-1 Total = 18
Get up you p*ssy.


Slowly, achingly slowly, he regained his feet. His golden eyes were blazing like twin suns, and he used that anger like a rope to pull himself back up.

”Try… that… SH*T… again!” he roared – and then he was reaching out, he was grabbing the purple ninja’s face and

1d6+1t (5)+1 Running Total = 13 Total = 6
bringing his knee up to meet it at a rapid velocity again and again and again, a savage mating ritual between skull and patella that left the ninja reeling. Vyeggar took a step back after his furious strikes. He saw that Tarbin was dealing with another ninja, this one in orange. Vyeggar made his hand into a flat edge and

swiped viciously at the orange ninja’s throat.

”HI-YAAAHH!” he roared, chopping at the side of the orange ninja’s neck. ”See, I can jump around like an idiot too – where’s my headband? Not talking, huh? Alright, you rest up, you’ve had a hard day.”

right-aligned image


Liana focused her mind upon Tarbin, a shining mote in her mind's eye, in the collective. She passed a surge of athletic energy to him, so that he could rush ahead into the room, if he so chose.

"That man is escaping! Stop him!" she suggested.

With that, she tried on her own to fire on Lungri, a focused barrage instead of spinning shots. One barrage shot hit! One missed....

While her shots seethed with deadly energy, their kinetic impact was merciful: she was more likely to leave a survivor with these shots. Though ... if the building was burning, would survival be a mercy?

Tarbin Haldar
right-aligned image
Vyeggar was taking a beating and Tarbin’s every instinct was to heal the man but despite the beating he was taking he seemed to somehow be actually winning. Tarbin therefore turned his attention to why they were here and focussed on the only person who might know where the stolen chest might be.

”Stop right there!” Tarbin called out as he rushed forwards towards the fire and grabbed ahold of the bound prisoner at the edge of the flames that Lungri was attempting to drag away. ”He’ll be coming with us!” the large called out as he heaved back in the opposite direction.

Damien felt his heart leap into his chest as the man he'd shot closed the distance between them with astonishing grace and speed, caught off-guard as the blade slashed across his chest. Cursing loudly in Vishkanyan, he spared a moment's glance up toward Lungri before focusing back on the man before him. He wanted to focus on the escaping catfolk, but... priorities.

"I hope whatever your boss is playing at was worth dying over." Sliding back against the wall, just enough to get a clean shot, Damien rapidly loaded another bolt and attempted to fire it into his attacker's abdomen.

Kara's Actions

Kara remained steadfast and focused, not worrying about the haphazard arrow that flew from the goblin, landing nowhere near her. She focused herself, remembering her training, and again shot twice. One arrow for the blue ninja attacking Damien. The last for Lungri, who she glared at contemptuously as she loosed her arrow.

The Ambushers AmbushedBeneath the anger and the fright, there was a definite irritation to the furrow of his brow. He was here for a job, with his men, doing a simple task. Now the heat of fire was blistering his naked back, smoke swirling above his head, dizzying and dazing him. He was dragging around a prisoner up a flight of stairs, one who struggled every bit of the way. He was watching each of his men getting killed or defeated one by one.

And now a fiery, almost holy crossbow bolt had slammed into his shoulder, almost tearing it out of the socket.

There was a piercing "RRRRREEEEEEOOOOOOWWWW!" that could be heard throughout the dockhouse and probably outside too. It was high-pitched and loud enough to make dogs bark miles away. For a moment, his grip on Gaius lasped, before it snapped about the larger man's neck again and pulled back at him. The other crossbow bolt sank in the wall somewhere close to his ear, joined by an arrow shot by Kara. That's when Tarbin barrelled forward, threatening to pull Gaius away. The farmer gripped at his legs.

Gaius kicked back. Not enough to injure, but certainly enough to throw him off. Then, immediately, he began struggling against Lungri again. It was quite clear to all of you that Gaius was not willing to leave with either his current captor, or the people he had orchestrated an attack on at the bridge just a few days ago.

Liana had landed at least one shot on him, but the second in her barrage was far unluckier. Mystic sparks of fire flittered out of her crossbow. They dropped to the floor. The alcohol exploded about her in a small area, fiery tendrils flicking at her. She backfliped away, dodging the fingers. She looked up to see the orange-sashed ninja preparing a strike at her, when BOMF! Having already knocked out the purple ninja, Vyeggar brought his arm around and clapped into the other's throat, making his eyes roll up as his entire body dropped.

When Lungri looked to his right, what he saw was even worse - yet another of his ninjas, one of his finest soldiers, was in battle with a vishkanya, having landed a blow. But then THUNK! Kara's second arrow smashed into the ninja's chest, knocking him off balance. Damien stepped back, crossbow ready and THUNK! The next blow was to the abdomen, throwing him back more and more, until the blue ninja was caught in the advancing wall of fire. He didn't scream - no time for that. He was dead in seconds.

Lungri decided, now, that he had to cut his losses, quite literally.

"**** THIS, AND **** YOU!" he yowled, in pain, dizzy, drawing a knife. Then, with one fluid motion, he drew it across Gaius' neck. The other gangster wheezed, putting pressure on the wound. It was in this moment that Lungri roughly booted the man into Tarbin's arms. Lungri tried to immediately run, but then he noticed Kara's arrow. It was stuck in his trousers, pinning him to the wall. As his leg wriggled desperately, he raised his arms, trying desperately to keep himself alive.

His few conscious subordinates had a similar idea, barreling to the staircase. Unfortunately, Tarbin was in the way. That was a problem for both him and them. The deadlier of them, the ninja, viciously scythed his sai towards Tarbin, who just in the knick of time got his shield up. However, it left him open to the more desperate attacker. The goblin frantically stabbed at Tarbin's side with a little dagger, screeching "LEMME OUT LEMME OUT LEMME OUT!" as the wall of fire caught him and burned at his sides.

Time to escape?
right-aligned image
Fire erupted right around Liana. Apparent the vapors alone were sufficient to set off a violent explosion. But bursts of flame were a common gimmick used in the Cirque de la Fumee. It was practically referred to in their name. She did a swift acrobatic backflip to safety, and continued firing.

At the moment, there is too much fire and too much going on for Liana to contribute more to the chaos. She didn't want, by some sudden new burst of fire, to cause one of her allies to inadvertently topple. So she relaxed from the Stance of Piercing Rays.

Taking a couple steps back from the flames, she shot a barrage at the red ninja, and then the green goblin, hoping to clear a path Tarbin to retreat with a rescued captive.

She concentrated, making her first shot extra precise, and recovering her expended Golden Lion's Pride Movement maneuver.

"But the hundred and eleven, get out of there before it all goes up in flames," she urged those inside. (But if the goblins tried to flee in accordance with her urging, she shot them without mercy -- employing her "merciful" enchanted bolts. The memory of the bridge assault and the recent death-threats against her allies put her in a mood of zealous wrath.)

Damien Buranta
right-aligned image


As Damien watched the dying ninja fall back into the inferno, it finally clicked for the vishkanya just how much the fire had spread. It was nearly on him... he needed to move, now. But what of the others? What of Lungri and Creed?

"... damn you." Damien seethed powerlessly as he looked up just in time to see Lungri's blade slicing Creed's throat. Their best lead... was just going to die here in a burning warehouse? Maybe one of the others could save the bastard, but not with the Dog Killer up and about.

"Burn..." Focusing on the catfolk, Damien whispered the incantation as he began crossing the floor back toward the open window. It wasn't much, but it was all he could do... he just hoped his own magic was stronger than Lungri's will.
Rolls & Actions

Action: Damien is going to cast A sleep spell causes a magical slumber to come upon 4 HD of creatures. Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first. Among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the spell’s point of origin are affected first. HD that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted. Sleeping creatures are helpless. Slapping or wounding awakens an affected creature, but normal noise does not. Awakening a creature is a standard action (an application of the aid another action). Sleep does not target unconscious creatures, constructs, or undead creatures.Sleep behind Lungri so he's the only one caught in the burst.
Move: 5 feet downward toward the window (or further if necessary to stay out of the spreading fire)
Free: Dropping Bardic Performance (continues for 2 round due to Lingering Performance)

Active Effects: All allies within 30 feet of Damien get a +1 insight bonus to AC and on attack rolls and saving throws against extraordinary, supernatural, and spell-like abilities used by Humans. (Currently just Kara and Damien)Naturalist

Vyeggar Vugmuk

The twinning scents of smoke and blood permeated through the warehouse. The conflagration was escalating as quickly as the battle, and behind him Vyeggar heard a sudden WHOOMPH as the air ignited in Liana’s vicinity. The half-orc spared a chance look over his shoulder to make sure the halfling wasn’t on fire herself, but she appeared to be cartwheeling out of the way of danger. Vyeggar nodded approvingly; apparently she could do gymnastics out of bed as well.

His eyes turned back toward the conflict ahead, and he stepped indifferently over the fallen body on the floor before him. It could have been fallen timber in a quiet forest instead of an unconscious ninja, and he chuckled a bit as he ground the heel of his hard leather boots into the motionless figure’s sternum. Liana and her magic had done something to him to keep his strikes from killing these blokes, and that was an annoyance. On the other hand, whatever it was seemed to have helped guide his fists and given them a bit more oomph, so that was kind of nice. He couldn’t be all that mad, he supposed. Besides, he thought, I might not be able to kill them right now – but I can sure give them one hell of a headache. He did a quick little jig as he finished walking over the fallen body and thought he might have heard a rib pop. Classic.

Aside the fire, Tarbin was at the foot of the stairs and fairly well surrounded. Further up the flight, two figures were proceeding reluctantly, although Tarbin was doing his best to restrain the captive and turning him into the rope in a game of tug-of-war. The muscled human had a goblin to his left and another one of those idiot ninjas right behind him. If someone didn’t do something soon, Tarbin might end up hurt.

As it turned out, Vyeggar was someone.

”You should have run when you seen us coming, fool,” Vyeggar growled as he

kicked the goblin square in the ass.

Tarbin Haldar
right-aligned image
Wrestling next to a burning inferno was not exactly a situation Tarbin wanted to be in but the former farmer was determined not to leave without his target. Unfortunately the captive seemed no more willing to come with Tarbin than he was Lungri and it looked it was rapidly turning into a three way struggle. Lungri however as not willing to fight fair and rather than admit he would not be able to beat Tarbin in a tug of war he took the cowards way out and slit his prisoner’s throat. Tarbin grunted with an intense frown on his face as the bleeding man was shoved in to him and suddenly the large man found himself surrounded and fending off attacks from all directions. Tarbin glared at the goblin that shanked him in the leg but before he could do anything else Vyeggar’s boot knocked the goblin flat. Tarbin then gave the half-orc a brief nod of gratitude. The last remaining ninja was likewise having problems as bolts were fired in to his back allowing Tarbin to turn his attention towards the man with the slashed throat.

”You don’t get to die right now!” Tarbin declared as he clamped a large hand over Gaius’ throat. If Lungri had truly been intending to silence Gaius for good he had chosen the wrong person to shove him in to. Tarbin’s eyes lit up with divine power for the briefest of moments as Tarbin exerted his will and forced the man’s wounds to stop bleeding. With Gaius stabilised Tarbin then hefted the man up and over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes before he turned and headed for the closest exit.

Kara Kurdst

Combat was essentially over. Lungri was cornered, few foes of familiar color were alive. Kara needed answers, unfortunately, only the living could provide some answers for why her old gang was still around. For that, her weapon was too deadly.

Kara vaulted over the windowsill, getting closer to her target and danger. The bow in her hands shattered like glass as her worn longbow is swiftly taken into her hands. She chants, inspired by the flow of the decaying combat, "...destroy all that is evil..." Midair, she fires rounds of arrows, their tips blunted, as swiftly as they manifest into being.

As she lands on hand and knee, the arrows find way to their targets, and her head is bowed in thankful prayer.

ActionsMove: Disengage: As a move action, the prodigy may move up to half her speed. She does not provoke attacks of opportunity for leaving her starting squares. She may sheath one weapon and draw another as a free action as part of this movement.Disengage moving 3 spaces into the burning building, swapping her weapon as a free action to her standard bow. Changing her Sudden Arsenal to +1 blunted arrows.
Standard: Flurry (finish): As a standard action the prodigy may make one ranged attack per link in her sequence, but no one creature may be targeted by a number of attacks greater than half the length of the sequence. These attacks are made at the prodigy’s full base attack bonus.Flurry finisher with a 4 sequence, targeting Lungri and the ninja.
