Truan's Lodge Blood bubbles around the spike on Alhert's halberd as he pulls it free from the bandits face. His leg stings, but two foes lay at his feet in exchange. Over his body stands Gang holding an unbloodied sword and an annoyed expression. Just nearby Ragnar buries his hammer into the guts of the leader with a backhanded swing. The other bandit makes a timid retreating slash at the barbarian that he easily leans back from while Rohan deftly redirects his opponent's swing with a gauntleted hand. Off to his side, Dawa advances and spots the shapes of the two archers in the woods. They've cast off their cover, the one to the west aims while the other fires an arrow that whistles through the air between Alhert and Totach.

Totach Redmane Totach leans back slightly as the arrow zips through the air past his head. It was a rude awakening, and he was eager to meet it. He turns and begins running toward the archer, zig-zagging in short hops and keeping foliage between them as he advanced. Once he gets there, he's chopping straight into the brain. Shortsword 20-7 (Target 13): 12 OOC: I'd like Totach to move toward the bandit 9, but in a pattern that makes him harder to hit. So zig-zags and keeping any trees or tall bushes between them as long as he can before maneuvering around them. it's slower, but I'm not suicidal enough to charge straight at an archer and hopefully Dawa can keep me covered. Once I reach the archer, I'm making a swing straight at his skull. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Feb 11, 2015 |

Dawa Totach was entering the fray and Dawa moved to keep the archers busy. He had no idea how seasoned they were, even if he missed some folk would just cut and run. The arrow just loosed from his bow proved to want to test the theory, and Dawa's shot whistles by the man inches from his sleeve. He reaches for another, trying to make sure Totach at least reaches a nervous target, if not a wounded one. All-out attack on bandit 9's drawing arm.

Truan's Lodge Gang hurls the arrow back towards the archer in the woods and is rewarded with a curse. The bandit leader expires under the hammer of Ragnar, dying like the son of a whore that he was. The Vanir warrior pulls his weapon out of the body and hefts it back into a ready position. The rest of the enemies appear shaken by the sudden turn of the fight against them. The bandit engaged with Rohan slithers his arm back out of reach, and Totach can see a worried look passed between the twoo archers deeper in the woods.  ---- Gang throws -5 range, hits. Bandit 9 Dodge: 3d6 9 Failed! Hit location: 3d6 13 Left leg hit! Damage, thrown arrow thr -1: 1d6-2 -1 Halved due to range. Minimum 1 damage. Rohan Dodge roll: 3d6 7 Dodged!

Rohan (Okay, so, I'm doing an All-Out Attack with Rapid Strike. Taking Determined for the +4. first is a single punch of five under a modified Karate of 18. The bandit can't know I'm planning a Rapid Strike so this will eat his one defense option for his next turn. Then, five again for the next one, under a modified Karate of 11. Still targeting the Vitals with the Lethal Strike, 13 exactly to activate Power Blow, 12 exactly for Breaking Blow, and 10 under 12 for Pressure Points. Damage will be 11, which triples to 33. If the first punch does somehow connect, it will do 10 damage, with armor, etc. affecting it normally.) As the otherwise ineffective bandit continues to prove elusive, Rohan decides to throw caution to the wind, now that the fight is essentially over. His fist lashes out, but Rohan puts little effort into the blow. When the bandit predictably defends against it, Rohan quickly shifts his stance and once more performs the Heavenly Spear Strike. Unprepared for the monk's speed, the bandit is left wide open for the second attack. Unfortunately, Rohan is forced to leave himself open and vulnerable to any other opponents lying in wait.

Truan's Lodge This time Rohan's strike is deadly effective. The bandit clumsily swipes at him as he retreats, then manages to block the first punch with his neck. Gagging, his shield and sword fall to the ground as he clutches at his neck leaving his torso unguarded. Desperately, he tries to twist away but to no avail. Rohan's strike is deadly. The others begin to flee. Totach's quarry turns to run. His compatriot fires his nocked arrow, flying wide of Alhert. The one man who had engaged with Ragnar with his leader drops his weapons as he runs.  -- Bandit 0 Defensive Attack Rohan: 3d6 16 Miss! Bandit 2 Flee! Bandit 8 AoA Alhert: 3d6 10 Miss! Bandit 9 Flee! ---EoR--- Dawa misses shot. Totach advances. Rohan punches. First punch crits! Crit Effect: 3d6 12 - Bandit 0 drops weapons! 10 damage -2 Armor is 8. Dodge roll: 3d6 13 Failed! 33 damage -2 FP Rohan's total FP is now 6/12 I believe. Ragnar, then Gang/Alhert next to act and resolve. The bandits are fleeing at this point. If you guys want you can run them down or let them go. Your speed (or archery) is sufficient to catch them in the next 3-4 rounds and their resolve is broken. The combat is effectively over at this point, just mopping up.

Rohan As the bandits flee, Rohan turns to look at Ragnar. As the barbarian declines to give chase, Rohan stays back, moving closer to the leader of their band. He picks up some snow, which he uses to clear some of the blood from his gauntlet, after his somewhat excessive finishing blow. "Those men were crude, their skills unpolished. I do not believe they are responsible for the recent killings. Your friend's assessment points toward more seasoned warriors than those. If you have further need of me, I'll be performing some deep breathing exercises near the lodge." Having given his opinion, Rohan moves toward the lodge to recover some of the energy he'd spent during the fight. (12 under 14 for Breath Control. This speeds up FP recovery to one per two minutes rather than ten, so he'll be back at full in under fifteen minutes, rather than in an hour.)

Gang Wei He's already switching to looting mode while the rest go about their business of hunting down any stragglers. Common procedure, given that nobody else in the area is actually around to contest him... I dunno if you want me to roll for it, but I'm making post-battle Scrounging and Search checks on anything in my reach and pocketing anything that is small enough to fit in my pack, and rounding up any weapons that I can sell later.

Truan's Lodge The three surviving bandits fled in different directions, more or less disappearing into the woods except for the wounded man leaving a trail of ruby drops in the snow. Totach caught up to him in moments. The bandit pants and whimpers as Totach runs him down. He dodges behind a tree, around a bush, and then into the hard basket-hilt of Totach's sword. The bandit flops down to the ground with blood running freely from a broken nose. Dawa catches up to Totach and the two men stand now over a stunned man. Back at the lodge, the echoing ring of combat subsides and only the stink of death remains. Gang scurries about rolling the bodies of the bandits for any valuables they might carry. Totach & Dawa, you have yourselves a prisoner. Gang, you roll the bodies and find the following pieces of equipment and treasure. Damaged equipment of course is worth way less, the various weapons are useful but are of course a bulky pile of blades. It's all functional and sturdy, but battered, scuffed, and well-used. We're officially out of combat now, so please go about whatever you'd like to do at the lodge. $$$ Bandit Treasure: 7xFalchion, 7xShield, 8xdagger/knives assorted styles. Bandit Sergeant - Scale armor (damaged), Nice boots. Bandit 0 - Scale armor (holed), $230 Bandit 1 - Scale armor (holed), Large throwing knife, $14 Bandit 3 - Scale armor, Dire wolf pelt hat, $11 Bandit 4 - Scale armor, Small glass bottle w/ viscous fluid. Bandit 6 - Scale armor (arrow hole), $40 Bandit 7 - Scale armor, Fine wool scarf.

Dawa Dawa leans over the man, prodding him in the chest with the end of bow. "Hello. I don't think you've quite thought this plan through, have you? Preying on the folk of the land as if no one would respond? Very poor plan indeed." He leans down and checks the archer's belt for any second weapons he might have. Don't need much, though I would like to restock my arrows if they have any. EDIT: Not after anything in particular in my search, just making sure he doesn't try to surprise us with a knife or something. Twobirds fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Feb 15, 2015 |

Totach Redmane As Dawa searches through the captured bandit's gear, Totach sheathes his cutlass with a flourished spin and shrugs his backpack off his shoulders; having forgotten to remove it in combat, he had his rope ready at hand. Tying the bandit's arms behind his back is no different than tying a line on a sailing ship, minus the squirming. "Do you normally make the mistake of trying to murder armed men?" he sarcastically asks of the captive.

Rohan As he concluded his deep breathing, Rohan approached the dead bandits. He collects the purse from one of the bandits, and shook it a few times, to make sure it wasn't more full than he required. Finding it satisfactory, he places it on his belt and goes to find Ragnar again. "It may be prudent for lookouts to be posted, in case the surviving bandits return with reinforcements. I volunteer to be among those keeping watch." (Taking Bandit 6's cash. By the way, I did the math for us, the cash evenly divides to 52 a head, but I'm voluntarily taking a smaller share, as my character is a monk and only needs money for rations, so the remaining money is about 63 for each of you.)

Totach & Dawa's Interrogation Dawa relieves the bandit of the few arrows he's got. Whatever he needed to replace his expended shots, plus one or two more. The man starts to come out of the daze inflicted by Totach's cutlass. He looks fearfully up at the two and tests the ropes. Simple knots, but they'll keep him in place for now. Nervously he speaks. "Armed men? We had you outnumbered two to one, four bows to one. You are thieving intruders on our claim. Preying on these defenseless folk? Pah! They deserve to lose what they leave undefended. We the strong are meant to take from the weak." Truan's Lodge The door to Truan's cabin is secured against the wind, but not against determined intruders. Taking a moment to deal with the latch, Alhert pushes open the door to the cabin revealing a cold and empty room with an ash-filled hearth. Light filters in through thick panes of glass. Charred logs from a dead fire sit on a metal grate. Knick-knacks and trophies decorate the walls, Ragnar recognizes a few from his campaigns with Truan. A large wooden table dominates the center of the room with thick-beamed chairs circled around it. Doors heading to other parts of the house are closed. On the table is a pile of books and a large map pinned down with cups and a stone. One of the books is open, and to anyone who can read Aquilonian can easily check the cover and see it's title and the page it's open to. "Erdric Ravagan's Treatise on the Snake Cult in the Northlands" - It is open to a page covering information on how the Snake Cults organize their rites based on the lunar calendar. Another page is prominently bookmarked. Laid out on the table as well is a map of the region, marked with a knife on a hill some twenty miles from here. OOC: Totach & Dawa, please roll a diplomacy/intimidation/interrogation-appropriate skill or let me know which one you'd like to use.

Totach Redmane Totach laughs. "Thieving intruders? Oh, the irony!" He bends down closer to the bandit and smiles straight into his eyes. "Looks like the strong weren't as strong as they thought." He considers exactly what they need to know about what's going on. Judging from how they greeted their opponents and what he said about the lodge being undefended, it doesn't seem like they were the ones preying on the citizens....well, not in that way. Bandits though they may be, it seemed that they had simply come across the empty lodge and decided to loot it. They probably weren't the ones responsible for the gruesome killings, but they were taking advantage of it. "The only thing we want out of this is information," Totach says to the bandit. "I have no desire to kill you, and I'm sure you have no desire to be killed. Answer these questions....well, I can say that I'll let you go. You'll have to ask the archer here for his personal opinion on that matter." Where to begin? "First off, this lodge. Why is it empty?" Intimidation 9: 15 OOC: gently caress.

Gang He takes all the daggers and the fine wool scarf. Smelly, but warm, before heading into the Lodge with Alhert. "Alert Alhert. I see this place - empty. Map suggests where go next. You read book?" He gestures at the Aquilonian scrip. "Money what needs finding," the rogue says. So saying, he starts rooting through the house for money, clues, whatever is available to be found. Maybe start a fire - it's cold.

Ragnar First thing he did upon entering the house was check the fire. It told him that Truan had been gone for a while. He then looked around the room for signs of a struggle. Seeing Gang come in, he tells the man, "Take nothing of Truan's unless it aids us in finding him. He was a friend and I would not let his house be looted like those bandits outside." Ragnar walks over to the map. "It does seem like the map shows us where to go next."

Alhert Lorimer Alhert peers at the books, tracing the words with his finger and mumbling to himself as he reads. "It's about a Snake Cult, that must be the thrice-cursed Set!" He turns and spits on the floor, and the looks back at the book. "It says they hold there ceremonies on the night of the new moon. To them a full moon is a bad omen, it is a sign of Mitra watching for evildoers." He then opens the book to the marked page. OOCI hope it's okay if I make up some fluff.

Truan's Lodge Turning to the marked page, more is written about the snake-cult: The pages detail dark rites to transform a slave into an avatar of Set, wholly subservient to the high-priest's will. Performed only during a new moon, and requiring the sacrifices of no less than three victims to slake the thirst of the Avatar. A series of minor celebrations are noted to be performed weeks prior to the ceremony, including barbaric rites and incantations as well as sacrifices and ritual consumption of human flesh. Most prized of course are the heart and other vital organs, said to hold the soul and provide the greatest of spiritual sustenance. It occurs to Alhert that the moon was waning on their journey here. The new moon is but days away. OOC: Fluff is fine by me, it was really helpful! More to come, but I gotta run at this specific moment.

Dawa "How many did I wing, at least?" Dawa says casually at Totach. "Four? Five?" He shrugs, and looks at the bandit again. "I could use some target practice," he adds, as if talking to an apple balanced on someone's head. He shakes his head as if clearing it. "Anyway, if that is your view, what should we do with you? You're about as rich as a mouse digging tunnels in the snow looking for seed. Should we strip you naked and make a few pennies from your clothes?" He makes a face.

Totach & Dawa's Prisoner "The lodge is empty because it belongs to a fool adventurer who gets into trouble over his head! It's ours by right of salvage. It's abandoned... or will be soon." spits the bandit. "You don't scare me. I'm still breathing, so you're no brigand. Who are you? A friend of the fool who lived here? Come to claim an inheritance? Did he gently caress you into your bitch of a mother?" He turns his head towards Dawa. "Three, your friend was better with a throw than your poo poo bow. Could you buy enough mead to forget the stain of murder? You civilized folk are all alike. Big on talk, small on kill." Clearly the words of a man who lives, and intends to die, by the sword.

Alhert Lorimer Alhert's face goes pale as he reads on, and he faces Ragnar and Gang. "They're going to create some foul monster... an avatar of the serpent himself! On the night of the new moon, they're going to perform a sacrifice. He looks down at the map. "This must be where the cultist will perform the ceremony. We should journey there and scout the area, but wait to strike until the night of the full moon. That way we can be sure to kill all the worshippers of the evil serpent."

Totach Redmane Something in Totach's expression hardens. He pauses a beat to let the bandit's words soak in a little more. Then he rapidly draws his cutlass, drops to a knee, and stabs the blade deep into the snow next to the man's head. Leaning in close, he breathes in the bandit's face. "I have no time for this. We know about the murders going on here, the gruesome ones. The thefts, the abductions. We know about all of it. I want you to tell me everything you know about what's been going on, and I want it now. If you don't, you're going to be tied to a tree and left to the wolves." He speaks calmly, but with malice. It's the tone of someone who treats leaving a man to die of exposure or the slow munching of dogs as a trifling punishment for the insult. Intimidation 9 + whatever the stabbing and threat helped with: 7

Ragnar "Foul misbegotten curs. Old Truan hated the snake cult and fought with them before. No doubt when he uncovered this nest of vipers, he went on his own to vanquish them. Unless they got him first." He scratched his beard. "Either way we shall finish what Truan had started and destroy this cult."

Dawa Dawa stares at the bandit, resisting the urge to kick him in the throat. He lets Totach finish, and says, "Two or three? Maybe I do need more target practice."
