Act 1, Scene 4: "To Skald" (Game Thread)

[Jenara]

Mira stands ready, shifting quietly from foot to foot as she keeps hold of Merrick tightly.

[TristenC]

[Artanis and Pyros only... Roll for initiative.]

Pyros rips the door open and begins taunting the wolf just as Artanis begins trying to calm it down. The den area of a modest farmhouse is revealed, and they spot another wolf inside; hackles raised and ready for attack!

======
[At the current angles, the rest of the party can't see what is going on.]
1 blue square is 5x, 1 square on the overlaid image is 2.5x2.5 feet

[Nocturno]

Pyros will yell "WOLVES! In the kitchen! Save the roast!"

He will then fire off 2 shots at the wolf Artanis is not coo cooing.

Ini, Hit(Thac0:16), Hit, Dmg Dmg: [1d10] = 3 [1d20] = 20 [1d20] = 20 [1d4+2] = 3+2 = 5 [1d4+2] = 1+2 = 3

[OoC: OMFG lol... Are we using hold over initiative here now too?]

[Chris1234]

Jerry holds position with Cross, missile at the ready.

======
{OOC: What's the distance from Cross + Jerry to the house? 25 yards? Or..?}

[TristenC]

[Roughly 50 ft from Cross/Jerry/Elsa to the SW corner of the house. They heard Pyros yell, but cannot see him or anyone within.
Mira and Merrick are about 20 ft from the eastern door.
Artanis can't use the animal empathy while someone else is attacking. The wolves are medium creatures]

[kerap]

Artanis initiative. Unseen Servant continues to hate Artanis.

Initiative: [1d10] = 10

[TristenC]

The wolves charge forward, biting aggressively at the ranger. His quick reflexes keep him from the first attacker, but the limited space allows the second to clamp down on his arm! The wound isn't severe, but is painful nevertheless. Pyros hops back and shouts out a warning to the others, whipping his sling bullet forward. It is quite a lucky shot, even for the kender, which drills into the wolf's head with a dull Thunk!

Artanis wastes no time on the remaining attacker. Twirling his longswords he slashes at the wolf before him. The first cuts a wide gash down the beast's side, shoving it into the second blow which quickly finishes it. In a space of breaths the attackers are done. Suddenly, the pair hear a loud crash from beyond the door to the East!


Merrick gives a start when Pyros cries Wolf, Should... should we go in or...

[Mira is close enough she heard the crash from the other door, but only barely]

[Rivi]

cross huffs "we should move in" and he will carefully move to the side of the house

[Jenara]

"Stay here cover the door, I'm sneaking round the house and using the door they used, when the others move up and they will. Hold this door, use your magic and and then let the fighters cover you. Do NOT engage them Merrick." She accents her last words with a squeeze of his hand and starts to move toward the house using as much cover as she can, before hugging the wall.

[Chris1234]

Does Jerry hear Pryos?

[TristenC]

[Everyone heard pyros]

[Nocturno]

Pyros will make his way to the door and listen.

[Chris1234]

Following Cross's lead, Jerry moves up, but takes advantage of cover from the barn. She'll have a listen at the barn door if she passes it.

[kerap]

OOC: Action below based on all wolves being dead.

Artanis will quickly move to open the first door to the north. "We need to find out what made that crash sound."

[Nocturno]

Pyros will stay behind Artanis.

Unless he can get to the door first to DN on it, before Artanis opens it.
