Café de Nuit

I was hoping I could claim your open slot. Like we discussed before, my character concept was sellsword of illegitimate birth.

Sounds good to me.

I'll take further actions from Cormac and the Hunstman when you guys are ready.

You two appear to have the drop-- at least if you act swiftly-- on the guys inside the cave.

Actions?

Entering the cave and charging at the first bandit he sees.

Ewan, all Dominica is doing is looking around, using her observation proficiency, waiting for someone to return

Following behind with bow cocked. Will fire at someone the Huntsman isn't charging.

Huntsman attack
[dice]0[/dice]

Two shots (RoF is 2) for Cormac:

[dice]1[/dice]

[dice]2[/dice]


Results:


1 hit for Cormac

damage= [dice]3[/dice] +1

Huntsman hits (I'm assuming a two handed thrust or upward chop)

[dice]4[/dice] plus bonuses

baddies-
[dice]0[/dice]

PCs
[dice]1[/dice]

low roll wins

This is damn near simultaneous, and speed factors almost cancel out. Some of the brigands had to grab/ready weapons.

I'm going to assume that a confused, brutal, close fight ensues, with baddies crowding in to attack the Hunstman. Everything is happening so fast that nobody has a lot of time for fancy moves. Cormac may hang back and fire a couple more shots-- but next round he'll be stuck in melee or forced to fall back.

[dice]0[/dice]

[dice]1[/dice]


[dice]2[/dice]


[dice]3[/dice]

You guys both hit twice, just quick enough to get in ahead of counterattacks.


[dice]0[/dice]+1

[dice]1[/dice] +1


Given that he's surrounded, I'm going to assume yoru PC uses a mix of offense and defense, Mike. Correct me if that's wrong. One handed style for AC?

[dice]2[/dice] +2 + str bonus...

[dice]3[/dice] +2 + str bonus...

[dice]0[/dice]

Not a combat roll, but noted.

Van---

The window Filbert had used in now closed and barred.

He can try to sneak in some other way, or break through the upper window.

Gimme some thief % rolls, if you like.

Climb Walls, if needed


Move Silenrly and Hide in Shadows to slip past watchers

Open Locks for quitely and skillfully opening window latches or popping locked doors

No need, will follow the man (Roald I guess) that the guards are escorting to the garden. Needs listen check? Or bluff check to pretend to write something down when he is actually eavesdropping and following the guards?

Filbert hasn't listened about the invitation letter and the conversation Roald had with Devlin. He just saw a man escorted by the guards and wants to know more about him.

That all sounds good Van.


I sent you a PM.


Other stuff for Van- -------------------------------------------



I'll update for Cormac and the Hunstman once Adam gets a chance to post.


I'll update for Dominica and Renn after giving both their players a chnace to RP a bit more. I don't want to stop their conversation before they get a chnace to interact.

Still waiting on Adam for the caves update, but I've gone ahead and sent the necessary PMs to move the palace/castle scenes forward a bit.

Feel free to post, everyone.

S'all right, I'll wait for BRock to update
