Parrhesia Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 JACQUI Jacqui advances on Keth, smashing into him with both axes for 11 and 10 damage. Keth goes down, bleeding profusely. DEAN Dean sidesteps through the swirling melee to deliver a ringing blow to Jacob for 8 damage. REE Ree steps over Morgan and Lena to strike at Varon, dealing him 10 damage.

Shin Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Some of the others were in pretty bad shape. Varon wasn't terribly apt at fighting, and his light armour did him no favours. Tordel looked down at his own armour, he could probably take a couple of hits. With this in mind, he taunts Brodie. "Hey, the ugly one with the sword! You guys aren't too shabby. You've managed to taken down one of our own... it's a real shame that it cost five of your men to do it. Maybe you should try something more on your level... like cheese cutting or sheep shearing." Tordel laughed mockingly, even his boys could handle something that simple. Hopefully Jack would take out one of the others. Jack's turn.

scorri Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Jack saw Lena fall and swore under his breath. Getting over to her location as quickly as possible, he took out her other attacker with a vicious swing of his blade. Standing for a second looking at Lena's body, he sighed. No more deaths. No more. Running over to Varon, he yells to the man "Stay behind me. Focus on healing yourself and others. That's where you're needed." He heard Tordel taunting the other soldiers and nodded to him in appreciation. "We can do this! Just work together." Autohit, Lara's at -7 HP, she dead.

Blasied Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Varon wiped some unwelcome tears away with a blood coated hand. Feeling that he was receiving very good advice, he took a few steps back to get behind the safety of the frontliners before attending to some of his gashes. Varon used poultice on himself. Varon recovers 8HP and is on 22. "Jacob, get over here and I'll tend to you!" MARLOWE'S TURN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ether Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 'Damn... the hell was that?!' Leonhard wondered as he shook off the heavy blow. Seems it had staggered him well enough for the fight to progress a tad without him, shame. Still, they had not taken the chance to off him, and it would be a grave mistake, that he would ensure. Spotting a scout nearby, Leonhard grinned. "DO NOT THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONES CAPABLE OF BLUDGEONING A MAN! HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT IS TRULY DONE!" He shouted, and foregoing the blade entirely, Leonhard rammed the broad side of his cleaver across the side of Ree's head, sending the man back a ways, and looking as though he had just been struck by a collapsing barn. Leonhard attacks Ree!(Autohit)Leonhard slams Ree!(11 - 8 = hit!) Roll Ree takes 16 damage and is stunned! 6 HP remaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Seeing the other man get tossed aside by Leonhard, Jordan took his axe and brought it down onto Dean's armor, knowing the other man wouldn't be any trouble any time soon. Autohit, 6 damage to Dean Marsali's turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Marsali glanced at the remaining bandits; one was barely conscious, if at all, and another wasn't in much better condition. Some wimp could handle them easily, she decided, smashing her mace into the side of the only one still looking like much of a threat. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3736958/ 10 damage to Brodie, 18 HP remaining.

Eail Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Cedric was still fueled by rage as he rushed after the new woman to their group as she attacked the only man still looking to be a threat.

Strunk Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Jacob shouts toward Varon. "Focus on yourself! If you die, everybody else will soon follow! I'll be fine until this is over!" Jacob looks around. One of the enemies is laying on the ground, almost dead, and another is surrounded by Jacob's allies. That only leaves the heavily injured man in front of him. He charges toward the man, and Dean can only watch as Jacob slices his throat, killing him instantly. http://invisiblecast...r/view/3737142/ Jacob's Hit = 8 Dean's Evade = 8 8 + 10 = 18 - 8 = Hit Dean is left with -3 health, and is dead.

Parrhesia Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) JACQUI Ree steps forward hesitantly, axe in hand, but she falters and falls as Jacqui slams an axe into the back of her head. "That is for the worst fucking ambush in all fucking history!" Tordel and Jack mercilessly cut down Brodie before he gets the chance to strike, and the combat is over. The day is won... more or less.

scorri Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Jack looked around the battlefield and sighed. We lost Lena. A pointless death that could have been prevented. That can't happen again. As he looked around he noticed the old man from the start of the battle. He angrily grabbed him and dragged him to the center of the carnage. "Was it worth this? However they convinced you to participate in their ambush. Was it worth this?" Dropping the man to the ground he walked away from the scene of battle. "We bury Lena and then carry on. Loot the bodies of the bandits and then just leave their bodies in the woods. There's nothing more we can do here." He slammed a fist against a tree and stared off into the woods. I'm not sure how many more deaths I can take. I'm at least partially responsible for these men. Am I just leading them all to their deaths?

Parrhesia Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 The old man tries to plead for his life. "They... they wrecked my wagon! They put me at knifepoint! I... they... I couldn't..." Jacqui pulls her axe out of Ree's head, kicking the bandit's corpse onto the turf. "You should have died with honour. Now, you get this. Was it really worth it... ?" The old man's body jerks and twitches before finally collapsing. "Fucking coward..." Jacqui spits on the body, and mops at the cut on her brow with a cloth. "Let's get out of here as quickly as possible." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Jordan simply sighed and followed along Jack and Jacqui. Nothing good comes from war. He regretted his earlier excitement about fighting. Edited October 17, 2012 by seph1212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strunk Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Jacob stares at Lena's corpse, bleeding out on the ground. After a while, he walks over to Varon. "Before we go... would you mind patching me up? It seems I get more injuries than I dish out." He tries to make a joke, but his words seem hollow.

Parrhesia Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 None of you seem particularly inclined to stick around. You bury Lena and loot ... barely enough for one maxim each. Jacqui devotes some time to plucking out their trademark iron teeth, however, reasoning "It might be worth some kind of bounty... and failing that, it's good iron someone will want sooner or later." And so, you head into Caril. It's not exactly in anything approaching a heyday, considering all the guards. You've made sure to conceal any obvious signs of allegiance; surcoats and kite shields, for instance, are hitched onto an ox you found wandering near the wrecked wagon, and concealed under layers of brown cloth. You could pass for any sellswords, now. It's almost midnight... Jacqui's been forcing you to march, reasoning that with a bit of effort you'll get to Caril and bedrest, and it appears to have worked. You run into a reasonably mediocre-looking pub, the Drowned Bull. Jacqui nods at the rest of you, almost panting. This has been a hard march on all of you. Marlowe, with the largest presence of any of you, shoves the door open... ... and you almost immediately recognise the men sitting scarcely two tables away from the door. It's the other band! They're alive! <end Chapter Two> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
