The paladin is looking foe odd foot prints with Fern.
Justin Webber (DM) Talks and hunts Tuesday January 17th, 2006 12:33:36 AM
Mykell moves with the others to the tent and watches as Marek does his interogating of the two nobles. He moves over and speaks gently to his friend and quiet enough as for the nobles not the hear, "Becareful my friend, remember we should try and be atleast alittle nice." ----------------------------------------------- Those tracking find no trace of the black robed wizard, there is no sign at all of any person of the wizard's type having left the clearing at all. However there are two sets of tracks leaving the clearing. One set is a group of three people, two being a female foot prints and the last being a male.
The second track is more interesting as it looks to be quite afew men have moved in this direction, around 10 as far as you can tell since the tracks are all mushed so they evidently were moving together.
Inside the tent the young noble is very calm through everything but Marek can tell he is not holding back anything or has anything to do with any of this, "Listen my good sir. I asked the fair lady to dance with me tonight and she agreed, I had no idea of her...hmmm...being married to that well...person over there till now. I know nothing of anything else you speak of."
The older man looks to be hiding something though as he stammers about and then growls, "I do not know anything either." clearly the older man is not going to confess anything easily or maybe he is hiding something less harming but yet sensitive to his station as a noble.
(OOC:Sorry everyone for not posting sooner then this. I came down with the flu and am on the road of recovery but not there completely yet. Thank you for being patient.)
Sir Henri Tuesday January 17th, 2006 7:06:30 AM
Sir Henri walking along comes to the set of the three, "Oh! Look here, Fern! Here's a guy that has hit the pot of gold, he has two females in tow! Let's not bother them, but keep them in mind."
Fern and Henri serches for a little while longer, when they come across some intresting boot prints, "Look here, Fern! what would a bunch of men want in that direction? How many do you think are in this party? Twenty or twenty five?" Henri ask Fern.
Marek Isentomb Tuesday January 17th, 2006 10:42:45 AM
Marek goes over what the pair has to say a couple times, mostly tomake sure he has it straight. During one repoeat, Mykell leans in and Marek stops to listen and shortly whispers back "I thought I was?" he then turns back to the pair, "OK one last time." he runs through it again. Marek finishes with, "Sir, we will do our best to get to the bottom of her apparent disappearence, with the rest. You two are on your own. But I caution you, do not draw steel again here. There are certain codes of conduct I and everyone else expects. Personal duels should be conducted tomorrow after all have a good nights rest." Marek turns to depart, "C'mon Mykell. See if the others found anything." and he briskly exits the tent.
Marek quickly moves to Jhark, "Keep watch, I'm going to check Fern and 'Horns' for what they got. Mykell fan into the crowd and keep your ears and eyes open."
Getting to Fern and Hart, "So what have we got?" A quick summation follows, "That good huh, Think he might of 'ported out with her? and why her? Somethings not right, smells all bad."
Hart Tuesday January 17th, 2006 3:35:55 PM
"Tracks." He says to Marek, pointing at the ground.

Marek Isentomb Wednesday January 18th, 2006 10:10:33 AM
Marek remains standing and nods to the group about him. "All right, two sets of tracks and really no idea who made which and why. Could our dark robed boy in fact be a girl? Would explain the two female and one male pair, though it also means the noblewoman went willing and well..." Marek lets the thought hang and then jumps subjects.
"Not our problem. We are here to keep the party peaceful and rub shoulders with the lords. Far as I'm concerned, currently all we have is that a few people left. Til any of you can come up with more than that." Marek lets it drop and moves back among the guests.
Hart Wednesday January 18th, 2006 10:29:33 AM
"We should follow."
Marek Isentomb Wednesday January 18th, 2006 12:05:44 PM
"Which set? The group of three or the group of ten?"
Jhark d20+10=19 d20+10=24 Wednesday January 18th, 2006 6:07:33 PM
Jhark simply nods to Marek as he turns his attention back to the crowd of partiers. He would have much rather went with the rest of the group but he knows when he is needed in one place. There still maybe trouble out here and if they need him he will be there...just not too fast.

(Ceil, my post was a accident on leaving Henri out. Please forgive the miss.)
Mykell stays near the party and watches the people dance and such as he tries mingling with the guests himself. (spot:10) ----------------------------------------------- The tracks are talked over by everyone who was not sent back to the party and from the looks Marek dismisses it as people leaving the party for some reason or another and will return inless something else comes up. Just as Marek turns to go though the group of three come out of where they left. The two females are giggling and the young noble has a very goofy looking grin on his face.
However in the other direction something else can be heard quite clearly, the clash of steel on steel.
Jhark and Mykell back at the party are treated to a different act of events as during a dance a haze of light appears and the dark robed wizard steps out and then starts to go about like nothing happened. However some quests look to be moving towards Beowulf more now.
Sir Henri d20+5=21 d20+6=13 Friday January 20th, 2006 8:59:54 AM
Since Mykell, Fern and Marek are off to look at the foot prints, Henri will starn close to J'hark. (You still didnot tell me where Henri Is, so I place him neas J'hark where he was told to be.)
When the puff of smoke and light went off, Henri tells J'hark "Now there's what I call an entrances! Now let's that intrest in the in the dance field og dancing??"

Head in the direction of the sound. "Those fools from the party."
Upon finding the two duelers, he draws his staff and aims, ready to fire off a spell.
Marek Isentomb Friday January 20th, 2006 12:30:28 PM
"Henri, I don't want that man near Beowulf!" the warrior shouts to the paladin as he turns. Marek rips his longsword from its scabbard and is off towards the sound of the fight, down the path the 10 men or so had tread. "Fern! you're with us."
Marek Isentomb will be at a run towards the combat.
OoC Hart I think is is down the second set of tracks, not back to the dance area.
Sir Henri Saturday January 21st, 2006 7:16:20 AM
Sir Henri after getting his orders from the Leader Marek, will stride over to where Lord Beuwlof is sitting or standing,
Henri will draw his sword, turn his back to the good Lord Beuwol (A protecting stance)Will face the people, waiting to see what this Wizzard has in mind. Henri put's the point of his sword on the ground resting one hand on the hilt of his sword and lightly put the other handon top. his action meand to the people and this wizard to back off, with out saying saying a word.
Justin Webber (DM) Fight outside and Dance Saturday January 21st, 2006 10:10:45 PM
(OOC:Small comment, the black robed wizard has moved back into the crowd of guests but a group of people from the dance has moved in on Beowulf.)
Mykell sees the crowd of people moving in on Beowulf and some of the other memebers reactions so quickly moves to stand by Henri as he nods, "Looks like some interesting things are to happen." ----------------------------------------------- The crowd of some people continue moving towards Beowulf and seem not to afraid of the weapons being drawn, as they come closer it is easy to see that these particular nobles wear more dreary looking clothing.
Also of note to all who make a spot check(16 is a small group of Mykell's people are making moves now also to one side and a glint of weapons can be seen as they move.
Outside of the dance area, in the forest the sound of steel on steel can still be heard for those who are interested in the noise.

As Henri is bringing his shield in frount of him, he'll answer Mykell "Yes! It's time to play, But we still have to keep an eye on that Wizard!" Now the paladin will take his fighting stance, as he raises his sword from the grownd.

Marek keeps running towards the sounds of the fight through the small wooded area. The others would have to handle the noble issue and keep Beowulf safe. Marek has not gone far when he takes note neither Hart or Fern seem to have come with him Fantastic then. Hope there is not too many of them

Jhark Monday January 23rd, 2006 10:02:43 PM
Jhark moves to stand near Henri, but slows enough to toss aside the normal cloak that he is draped in. You can now tell that he looks more like a lizardman in many ways, but the head is shaped slightly different with horns accenting it. His tongue flicks across his teeth as he flexes his fingers inside of the spiked gauntlets that he wears.
It is strange but he falls into a fighting stance with those that showed up, clawed gauntlets at the ready. "Thisss isss more to my liking...but do we kill or maim?" His eyes flash with the sudden rush of battle lust.
Sir Henri ac 21 94/94hp Tuesday January 24th, 2006 2:01:55 AM
With out even looking to see who was there, he knew it was J'hark. Now the paladin felt better about facing this crowed. He answers his partner, "Well I don't know if the Lord want his guest talking or silent? I guess we stop them one way or another! As for the Wizard! he's not to get chose to the Lord! we keep him at bay or silent on the ground! watch out for him, he's a bad butt."
They all stand toghther, ready for any thing that might coome their way.

Justin Webber (DM) Movements Tuesday January 24th, 2006 10:43:27 PM
(OOC:Sorry for the delay will be talking to Jay sometime on AIM about current events to make sure he knows whats going on and can post if need be.)
Mykell decides that this doesn't look good after all and slides his katana free from it's sheath and looks to the others, "If any of them show as a real threat then I'm not holding back." ----------------------------------------------- (Marek&Fern down path and in clearing) Marek and Fern move down the wooded trail that the feet of many men has made and finally come to a clearing where only small bushes line the area making it a very open area so sneaking in will be rather hard.
In the clearing Marek and Fern see a group of 12 Beowulf guards fighting hard against a pair of men. The two men wear full black outfits, one uses a pair of shortswords in rapid movements and very skilled. The other man is fully armored in heavy armor with a buckler strapped to his arm but has a spear he is using with great skill. These two black clad warriors are no one that Marek or Fern has seen before but their origions become known quickly as the spear user spins his spear, leveling it quickly and a dark aura surrounds him as he launches a nasty attack, the spear head moving in 5 quick jabs and each wound given to the guard the spear user fights seems to literally tear open and puss already starts to run and the man looks weakened severely.
The twin shortsword user grins and speaks to his friend, "Good show chap, my turn now." The man's swords glow black now also and he spins into a quick attack, his shortsword slashing through the guard he fight's armor before both swords slash in a X, taking the guard's head off and to finish it the shortsword user does a quick spin and with a final kick the head goes flying across the clearing.
(Others at Ball) Henri, Jhark, Hart and Mykell prepare for the incoming crowd of people. The black robed wizard however still stands in the crowd not advancing which he really looks to have no part in this. However those moving in now shrug off their long cloaks and their skin slowly darken and each one grows slight black claws as they look to the group before them. One of them speaks out, he looks to be the oldest of the group and the most noble looking, "Step aside and let us have Beowulf and we will spare you, we only want Beowulf and the other nobles."
The people from Mykell's homeland now also break into action and each pull a short looking sword of oriental design and one also pulls out a blow gun and prepares a dart, "Seems like you all should give up or prepare to die. No worries, we'll make sure you die squeeling."
There are 8 dark looking men close to the group. About 12ft away total. There are 8 people from Mykell's homeland also but they are 30ft away from the group.

IF fern is 30' or closer to the men Fern moves in a blur grabbing her bow off her back and firing an arrow at each guy. (rapid shot)

"Well! Now we know what their intentions are! NO! Body Gets to Lord Beowuff." To J'hark, Heart and Mykell, he tells them "Do your best on the black claws, A Special look out is the black Wizard! he's the tricky one," To the people fighting on Lord Beowulf he will bless them, "To our brave Fighters I Bless You All!" Henri cast blessing on the good fighters, Now we are ready, as he stand there waiting for the fight that's about to start.
Marek Isentomb AC 29/30 HP 73 Wednesday January 25th, 2006 8:58:15 AM
Marek never slows, but draws his sword as he moves in. Circling right to get in a flanking position, he keeps his sword up standing straight at chest level. Sidestepping the last few paces he activates the gift of the goddess. Having decided the twin blades are less a threat, Marek will use his dodge bonus against the spear wielder.

In the Clearing (Marek and Fern.) Marek moves in and tries to flank the spear user but finds the man is kind of hard to flank with some of Beowulf's guards in the way yet and since the man is slightly covered also by the twin sword user.
Fern is in position to fire a arrow at both men and lets a arrow rip at both. However she is disappointed to find both her arrows miss either man. However her first shot came rather close.
The guards also press their attacks but to no avail either as the two trained men seem to be just out classing Beowulf's guards.
The spear user chuckles as he notices Marek and turns to face him fully, "Well now a challege per chance? Show me what you have sir." A darkness boils in the spear users eyes, a darkness that Marek can just feel shows he is a Seeker of Darkness and no normal enemy. The spear user slams his spear butt first toe the ground and slams his free hand over his chest, grinning as a dark aura erupts for a moment around him, "You get first shot little man."
The twin sword user ignores Marek and dashes towards Fern, dropping into a roll which brings him up a short distance from where she is but not in combat range. However the man grins as he raises his swords in a X over his head and growls out a couple words, "Dark Flash" he ends this with a spin, dropping to one knee, the spin done with his swords held out in like a whirlwind motion. With these words and movements a dark wave erupts around the twin sword user and radiates out 20ft in all direction. The wave slams into Beowulf's guards and fling them all across the clearing as their armor smoke and glow black for a moment before each lays still, either dead or knocked out. (Fern and Marek make Reflex DC:18 or be blasted with pure dark energy. If hit you take 15 damage, if you pass you take 7.)
At the Ball (Hart, Henri, Jhark and Mykell) The group readies to defend Beowulf. Jhark releases a spell to help himself and friends, also Hart fires off a call lightning spell.
It's not stormy outside but a lightning bolt slams down on the speaker of the dark people, injuring him some.
Seeing that the group is not going to just let them through the dark people move in quicker then could be expected.
Three of the dark ones move in on Henri, evidently not happy about his comments on not letting them get Beowulf and all three of them slash at him, one even jumping and lashing out. (Can hit AC:17/18/14 Damage:7/7/10)
Two more move in on Jhark and attack him also with the same claw attacks. (Can hit AC:23/20 Damage:8/9)
Two more of the dark ones move in on Mykell, also slashing at him with their claws. (Can hit AC:24/21 Damage:12/12)
One of the dark ones move in on Hart, slashing at him also with the dark claws. (Can hit AC:24 Damage:10)

Marek's eyes narrow as the aura covers his would be opponent. He was not liking this at all. Not for the challenge, but the stakes were higher than his self pride and sense of excitement. A side check towards Fern and then the black wave rips in from the short sword weilder. Marek spins with the wave on the ball of his left foot and arrives in precisely the same place and stance.
Marek moves in with a quick two step and cuts off to his right. The long sword across his body and the tip pointed to draw a line across the mans chest. The blade however is mis placed and passes by harmlessly. As Marek contiues by his next step launches him into a diving roll and then a pair of handsprings. A half tuck and he lands facing his choosen opponent, sword at the ready just over 20' away.

Jhark weaves like a snake as the blackies attacks him. Two seperate attacks and just as many misses on his opponents side. Black eyes smolder as Jhark returns the favor in kind to the two men. "Put forth sssome effort."

Fern stumbles a bit as she's hit by the flash, but seems to easily shrug it off. then for a moment it seems like her body glows (activate diamond body) right before she shoots at the guy facing her.
Mykell seeing the enemy move in on them Mykell breaks into action, thankful that his armor protected him good enough that none of the attacks land on him. He slashes with his katana quickly and his sheath once to the katana's twice, working quickly as he also wonders how Fern and Marek are fairing. (Can hit AC:19/25 &15 Damage:11/16 &8) ----------------------------------------------- Marek makes a defensive attack while moving, able to dodge the blunt of the shortsword users wave as he does. The attack though from Marek goes harmlessly wide though as he ends his attack.
Fern takes the dark aura blow also from the shortsword user but also is able to avoid the blunt of it. She activates her spell ability and also fires off three arrows at the shortsword user. Happy to see also that all but one of her arrows hit squarely also and the ones even looking to hit worse as it bleeds alittle more.
The spear user looks to Marek and chuckles as he reaches up and slams the face vizor on his helmet down and speaks before moving in, "Well, how boring, no challenge so far but do you get better my new nemesis." The spear user steps in quickly, spinning some and stabbing at Marek in a side like thrust and the shifting his grip and quickly launching a pair of quick thrusts again. (Can hit AC:13/17/11 Damage:miss/miss/miss)
The shortsword user looks to Fern and chuckles even with the arrows stuck in him, "Well, alittle more chellenging then I thought but lets see if you can continue to keep up." The shortsword user steps forward quickly and slashes at Fern with both his shortsword, his first shortsword stabbing in for a second attack. (Can hit AC:13/27 &25 Damage:miss/10/miss)
Spear User: AC:28 uninjured Shortsword User: AC:26 barely injured ----------------------------------------------- Henri launches a attack at two of the darkies attacking him but succeeds in only hitting the one infront of him. The wound is nice but looks like it did little more then tick the thing off.
Jhark attacks the enemies attacking him and only lands one blow also. The blow lands solidly but still doesn't look to hurt it alot.
Hart puts his dagger away and swings at the darky attacking him. Hart succeeds in slamming his staff home on the darky but once again it wasn't enough to do much but make it mad for now. (I believe call lightning strikes for so many rounds? If so then please let me know what enemy per round counting the previous one.)
Mykell swings his katana and sheath at his enemies, concentrating on one but to his dismay is only able to land one nice katana cut which does little more then make the thing mad.
The three dark ones attacking Henri press their attack on him once again. Each slashing at him with one hand, their black claws sharp and ready. (Can hit AC:22/27/12 Damage:10/12/miss)
The pair of dark ones attacking Mykell also press their attack on him. (Can hit AC:18/29 Damage:miss/10)
The pait of dark ones attacking Jhark press their attack also. The one looking upset from the blow yet. (Can hit AC:28/24 Damage:8/miss)
The single dark one attacking Hart slashes quickly at him also, this one however aiming for Hart's leg more then anywhere else. (Can hit AC:22 Damage:Miss)
Beowulf now having got his guards to back off and protect the crowd has removed a hat which once removed shows him in complete battle armor now and quickly takes to the field, pulling his legendary sword on the way. As he moves out he side steps and slashes quickly at one of the attackers on Henri. Beowulf's movements are quicker then expected and a total of four attacks is seen made before he tosses his sword up and grabs it underhands, spinning and slashing the dark one across the waist where as he adjust the sword back to a normal hold the dark one slowly slides apart, the fifth blow cutting it cleanly in two at the waist. Beowulf looks severely upset as he reguards the dark ones and then the assassins, "You interupt my ball, you come seeking blood and my guests. I decide now that not only will my faithful friends here take to the battle field but you face me also. I tire of the sidelines."

After Beowulf talks a shadow ripples to the side of the ball area and out of no where it seems like a man in heavy armor steps out and he slowly looks over the crowd before looking to Beowulf, "If your tired of the sidelines the come and engage me dear freind. I'm sure these....well...retainers for no better word can handle those about me but they will not stand before me, not even together." The man lifts a hand which a pitch black glowing sword slides from it's sheath at his side and floats to his hand where he grasps it...red eyes also glare from the slits in the helmet the man wears and he is black armored from head to toe, infact he looks to radiate darkness itself.
Beowulf looks to the group now and nods, "Do not engage that man and leave him to me. That is Gimblus and far out of your league right now."
Someone else finally comes into play at this moment. The wizard wearing black robes steps out near the black armored man and holds a bone carved staff which now glows and he chants quickly, the words a form that only Hart would know as the speach of the forest, but one of old...one of the darker side of nature, the destructive and death of nature. As the man finishes his words he speaks quickly before continuing his chanting, "I am Lord Krell, advisor to one of the major cities in this area. I will now allow you to harm anyone here. I drain your powers as much as I can."
(Hart can do a Knowledge Nature or lore, etc check to remember the language fully and also to remember tails said of the spell Krell is using. DC:20. I'll give info if you pass.)

Marek Isentomb AC 30 HP 64-73 d20+15=21 d20+10=14 Tuesday January 31st, 2006 1:23:42 PM
Marek is a bit stunned when his opponent not only crosses the intervening 25' of ground, but then in a blur of motion, swings at him three times. Marek, though, is well trained and his sword expertly picks off each attack. The ring of steel on steel echoes across the small glade.
Marek quickly shifts to a more offensive posture, having a better judge of his opponents' skill. A feint low followed by a quick point thrust, however, merely carenes off his opponents armor. Marek follows the first attack with a broad chest level sweep to put the man to his heels slightly and to allow Marek to regain his defensive position.
Marek's face shows nothing but concentration, the opponent can clearly see, there will be no idle banter coming from this warrior.

Sir Henri steps back, enters in the circle to fight the one facing him with a mighty swing of his sword (Attach ac 30 - Damages 9 hp). Turning slighly for his second attack on his left (Attack ac 26 - 11 hp). Sir Henri is sweating again.

Jhark catches the second attack with his spiked gauntlet and just smiles. Then a heavy hammering blow strikes him and the smile disappears to replaced by a hissing grin. "That is better." He sends out his claws in an effort to catch the man that struck him.
He does glance to the others that fight around him to see how they fare, though he has given all the help he can at this time.

Mykell presses his attack on his enemy even after feeling the slash of the shadow creatures claws. He smiles as his katana cetches the shadow creature twice but his remaining hits miss.
(Can hit AC:27/26/10/17/14 Damage:9/15) ----------------------------------------------- The groups continue to press their attacks on their foes as they fight for their lives and the people at the ball.
Marek slashes his sword at the spear user he faces and each time the blade just clangs on the heavy armor the man wears.
Fern fires more arrows at her foe also and is happy to see two more arrows hammer into him but still the man looks only alittle injured.
The spear user chuckles some and swings his spear in a ripping stab motion at Marek and then rams it forward at him again as he speaks, "Ahh, the strong silent type huh. Well, let our weapons speak for us then." The attacks the spear user makes also feel like their being pulled some, like the man doesn't want Marek to see his full stregnth or he is playing with him. (Can hit AC:21/13/5 Damage:miss all times)
The shortsword user also presses his attack once more on Fern. His shortswords working well in usison but yet they miss her. Fern to also feels her enemy is pulling his hits some. (Can hit AC:14/15/22 Damage:miss all.) ----------------------------------------------- Hart slams the enemy that would attack him (for previous round call lighting) with one of the called lightning strikes. He also moves back as another bolt strikes the darky once more. The dark one looks pretty badly injured now.
Henri slashes once at both the darky's fighting him and scores a nice hit to both. The darky's look more injured but not going down yet. (The darky's are changed humans and not lizards Ceil. Just wanted to clearafy.)
Jhark presses his attack and slams three nice punches home on his enemy. He is happy to see the darky fall to the ground, not dead but out of it none the less as it doesn't look consious.
Mykell presses his attacks against one of his enemies and gets in two nice hits. He also is happy to see one of the dark's hit the ground, only leaving him with one more now.

The remaining dark one presses it's attack on Mykell, the fact that the dark ones are getting the bad end of the deal not seeming to register to it. (Can hit AC:31 Damage:9)
Both of the dark ones press their attacks to Henri, the one that is injured worse moving abit slower then before. (Can hit AC:29/18 Damage:11/12)
The remaining dark one presses it's attack on Jhark now, it to seeming not to mind that it's friend is down. (Can hit AC:31 Damage:10)
The dark one who is fighting Hart leaps forward, the dark one showing that it can do a heck of a leap and slashes high on Hart. (Can hit AC:27 Damage:8)
Beowulf moves in on Gimblus and they meet each other with sword slashing on sword. Both men launch deadly attacks at the other but both seem to know exactly how to defend from the other as their weapons move to block or they move just in time to keep from being hit.
The assassins looks to be tired of holding back now and 6 move in now but are still to far to attack or the group to move and attack them without using spells or missile weapons.
The remaining two however ready their blow guns and shoot a single dart at Hart and Jhark.

Jhark pulls up a spiked gauntlet to intercept a dart that was just shot at him. He hisses through his teeth as that left enough of an opening for the darkie to get through his defenses. The blow could have been worse but it leaves Jhark good and mad.
Claws slice in at the darkie with a little bit of percision or at least as much as he can muster as he watches the assassins close on them. "More company." That is all that he says as slips back into a crouch.

Sir Henri presses on with the insults and attacks, he KONWS is he can make them mad enough, they Will make a mistake and he'll be right there to pick up on it. He is hurt but will not show it. "Come on! You split toung Lizard! I'll make you crawl back to your hole!!"
The paladin swings again at the one facing him, (Attact Ac 30 - Damage 9hp). Now on his back swing, he attacks the one on his left side, (Attack AC 28 Critacle - Damages 9+14=23hp).
OOC: You see throwing insults at the enermy Does some time work. It makes the enermy lower his guard just enough to make a mistake. And that is Why Henri does it.

Marek's style remains precisely as before. Steady, calculating and planned. Marek knows a pulled punch when he sees it, overconfidence, hopefully I can use that Marek turns left, presenting his weapon to the fore and quickly snaps it across any thrust from the spear. A slow chest level thrust brings the expected block, but with the turn of his wrist, Marek brings the blade back and down. Cutting into his opponents exposed arm.

Mykell presses his attacks on the single darky attacking him and is happy to score a couple of hits on it as he glances to the others. (Can hit AC:30/14/18/20/28 Damage:9/miss/miss/miss/9) ----------------------------------------------- Marek presses his attack on the spear user and succeeds in hitting a single hit on the man. The spear user though simply gives a some what salute to Marek over the hit before readying himself again.
Fern fires off more arrows, two of which hit nicely.
Both the spear user and twin sword user takes a step back and the spear user nods to Marek, "Well, we have held you off long enough I believe so we both shall bid you farewell for now. I do hope our paths cross again for this was less then exciting." With this said a shadow gate opens behind both and they both quickly step into it, there after it closes up.
Jhark slams one good hit home out of his series of attacks and his darky wobbles alittle bit is still standing.
Hart calls another bolt down on the darky attacking him and watches as it falls to the ground twitching from the electric shock.
Henri slashes at his enemies again and injures the one more but drops the other quite dead.
Mykell presses his attack and injures the one on him more.
The assassins move in more now as they ready melee weapons.
Beowulf and Gimblus still are having a fight to the death but neither seem to beable to land a decent blow on the other.

With two Enermy out of the picture, Henri faces the only one stsnding. He is tireing from his wounds, the sweat now mixes with his blood. But he will not show weakness. The paladin charges again at the one enermy faces, hitting him twice (attack Ac 27 - Miss? or 27hp damages) on his first swing and (second attack Ac 22 - Miss?? or 13hp damages).
Marek Isentomb AC 30 HP 73 d8+1=9 Wednesday February 8th, 2006 1:28:26 PM
Marek returns the nod this time to his opponent as he departs, "You can count it sir." With that he is wheeling about and heading Pel Mel back to the dance. "Don't wait for me Fern, Move!"
On his way, Marek pulls a Cure Light potion and downs it. [9]
Fern Thursday February 9th, 2006 6:36:03 AM
Fern starts to chase after the dark men, but gives up when the gate slams shut in her face. She then turns around and yells at the guards "Back to the dance at once!" as she sprints along the path.

Jhark finds that he is enjoying himself with this little bit of excitement. The reptilian smile upon his face does not help though as you cannot tell if he is having fun or looking to eat you. Once again he sends out a series of slashing claw attachs upon his darky with renewed energy as he sees his wobble.

(OOC:Jay, email will be coming and just a small comment. I have no map for this combat at the moment so we will have to see about that.)
Mykell slashes at the darky still ataccking him and watches the assassins from his own homeland moving in and calls out to the group a quick warning, "Assassins from where I come from often use poison so be weary of their weapons my friends."
(Can hit AC:19/15/18/19 Damage:all misses) ----------------------------------------------- (OOC:Keeping enemy and player movements simple this round considering.)
Everyone succeeds in dropping the last darky attacking them except Mykell who seems to not beable to land a blow this round.
Hart calls lightning at Gimblus which he is happy to see hits him but however causes a small newer problem called Gimblus has just turned his red eyes towards him now instead of Beowulf. (Hart notices the the grass in the area isn't very tall at all considering it was trimmed down for the ball to be held but there is alot of it.)
Fern and Marek make it far enough (running full steam) to reach the tents and just beyond them they see the dead darky's the group fought and killed except the one fighting Mykell. They also see Gimblus and the 8 assassins from Mykell's homeland.
The assassins move in the rest of the way now and press their attacks on the group.
Two assassins move in on Jhark and move with amazing speed and quick slashes. (Can hit AC:20/27/19/11 Damage:miss all)
Two assassins also move in on Henri, their attacks are much like the ones on Jhark except one wields a kama instead of a sword. (Can hit AC:14/31/17/23 Damage:miss/11/miss/12 Make Fort check DC:16)
One assassin moves in on Mykell and attacks him. (Can hit AC:23/10 Damage:miss/miss)
The remaining assassins move in on Beowulf and press their attacks on him. Beowulf does take a single wound but fights back just as strongly as he did against Gimblus.
Gimblus having been hit by Hart vanishes for a moment and reappears infront of Hart. Gimblus dwarfs Hart in size by atleast a foot and the small of brimestone seems to radiate from him. His sword also is black as night along with his armor and both look to be forged from the shadows itself. Looking down on Hart he speaks in a rough tone, "You hit me so I think it is only fair I return the favor. Pray to your maker young one." Gimblus raises his sword in a salute like gesture, more teasing before launching a quick 4 strike attack. (Can hit AC:39/28/33/23 Damage:20/18/17/miss)
Near where Henri, Mykell and Jhark fight a man steps out and pulls a symbol of St. Cuthburt and speaks quickly, "I am not a warrior speacially since I have no weapon by my lord has granted on me healing knowledge, speak and I will cure you to the best of my ability."

The druid stands his ground, regardless of the fact his opponent is 100 times the warrior... perhaps Beowulf will have time to retreat.
The druid casts Summon Swarm on Gimblus and draws his defense dagger. "You will likely kill me. I am not worried. Shalm watches over me. Nature ees my ally!"

Jhark with amazing speed and dexterity, easy moves out of the way of all the attacks thrown at him by the assassins. Only one attack even comes close to him and he hisses in laughter. "Thisss isss the bessst you can do?" It is part taunt and part jest as he does not really want them to get better but he does like a challange. The first assassin that approached him becomes his true focus as he fires off a series of three quick slashes at the assassin.
