Act 3 Scene 3: To Gundarak

[Nocturno]

ZOINKS! No wonder that Boar was in a rush!"

He first looks for his pot of tar, and if he had dropped that, the tar covered bullets.

Then if he has time he will drop it in the sling and light it.

[TristenC]

Agitated by the sudden arrival of the worg, Bayard begins to sidestep and turn but is calmed by the combined efforts of Karl and Mira. Pyros digs out his tar pot and lights it with Elsa's torch. The cleric winds up her sling and lands a glancing blow on the dark wolf-like creature. Jerry keepd the creature at bay with her magical morningstar, giving the others time to regroup. Esker and Iscind rush from the fore to confront the beast behind, though in the dark they fail to make contact; Eskers blade sliping from his grip in the rain to land beyond the worg.

Just as the shield-siblings leave the front of the column, another pair of savage canines burst from the brush! Gregor barely has time to raise his sword before he is met by slavering jaws. Althiriel flows forward, dealing the wolfish foe a firm blow. Kyballion turns to meet the third, taking a wound but dealing a devastating slash with his glaive in return. The Worg staggers, struggling to keep its feet and clearly surprised at the level of resistence…

[Nocturno]

Pyros wants to smash the lit bucket on the beast. Preferably on the side while the others engage it.

[TristenC]

[He can try to throw or use his hoopak. -2 to hit for each human sized person in melee with it. Worg1 is fighting Jerry, Esker and Iscind; Worg 2 Althiriel and Gregor, Worg 3 is already really rough and fighting Kyballion.
Missing with a grenade-like missile like a fire pot means it will land somewhere nearby, possibly hitting an ally]

[Nocturno]

Would he have time to run up to it?

[TristenC]

[Sure, but throwing into melee would be the same really.]

[Nocturno]

I was thinking of meleeing it with the burning bucket.... no fear right lol.
==================================================================

[TristenC]

[haha, ok, that should be fine. If he is going for melee then no risk of hitting others, a typical miss will just mean he didn't make contact a fumble might become more interesting for him Just use a normal melee to-hit roll.]

[Nocturno]

Pyros dismounts, gets to a flank, and tries to smash the flaming bucket on the wolf.
"Hot stuff coming through!"

Kybalion looks to end the creature’s life. (If successful, he will look for the closest fight to help there. If not, he will continue the battle with this creature.)

[Revenant]

Esker Manyblades

Esker curses as he loses his weapon, "Iscind draw its attention if you can." Looking for an opening, he will try to dash past the creature to his weapon.

[Darithe]

Iscind Aranya

With a grim look upon her face, Iscind strikes out again at the creature....

Attack[1d20]=18 Damage[1d8]=7+1

[TristenC]

Mira and Air Karl continue to restrain Bayard, though the well trained mount seems kess likely to outright bolt now. The Kender dismounts and dashes to bash the warg with his blazing bucket of retribution, but the dangerous dog dances aside. Elsa fires a sling stone at the worg fighting Kyballion. The resounding Crack of the impact is nearly drowned out by the storm, but nevertheless sends the beast to eternal slumber.

Iscind and Jerry harry their own opponent, each dealing a significant blow to the dark creature, which quickly seems to be rethinking its choice of ‘prey’. Gregor takes a wild swing at the third Worg, and the canine has to dodge clumsily aside to avoid the blow, stumbling to the ground in the process. Althiriel cuts a wide gash in the prone opponent, and Kybalion rapidly pivots away from his fallen foe to plunge his polearm deep into the predator's side. With a weak whimper obliterated by the raging wind, the beast expires.

The lone survivor backs quickly away to flee into the night as the rain begins to come down in an absolute torrentm drowning the torches.
