Chapter Three-The Riddle of the Woods

[wraith]

At first he thought his wounds were minimal, so he returned the favor by dishing out an attack of his own. The rush wore off, awareness began to sip in and the pain from his wounds were enough to stagger him, but he forced his legs to hold his weight no matter what happened. He tested his footing, the action made him wince and he spat blood, the minotaur's horns must've hit something more than vital inside him. Wiping his lips with the back of his hand Sand assesed his situation...it didn't look promising.

Sand to Everyone: "Bring this one (minotaur1) down first, I'll deal with the other one when I get back. Be sure not to get killed in the process!"

As if one minotaur wasn't enough another of the brutes appeared, Sand was thinking that they've had bitten more than they could swallow. He looked at his wounds and decided to recuperate from a safe distance. His companions had to make do without him for a while.

Sand's 2nd Round:


Swift Action: Maintain Ghost Step.

1st Move action: Tumble 15 ft away from opponents towards a nearby tree.

Tumble check:
[dice=20]+17=34

2nd Move action: Retrieve healing potion from pack.

Lestrand to Party: I'm not doing this to earn brownie points, but to survive; let's isolate them: Jukai, Adora flank the beast, attack on opposite sides so one will have attacks of opportunity. Athos, use long range! Sand, if you are able, partial attacks only, but keep on the look out, so we will not be surprised again! I'll try to entertain this one for a while! Don't worry, I won't try to engage him directly. I won't survive if i try to anyhow.. Just finish him quickly, people! And save my butt afterwards!

[Fenix]

Lestrand to Sand: Sand use long range attacks for awhile, target the first one to bring him down first.
Athos do the same to the first one, riddle it with arrows! Let Apo Jukai and Lady Adorra spank him to submission. Good tactics you guys are showin', makes me proud to work with you!

Adora gave the minotaur a look of disgust while roaring, “let all the minotaur die” whirled and drove her axe deep behind the minotaur’s heart and smash it forward with such force that both her boots left the ground.
Her axe leaped like a flickering flame amid the gore, rising and falling tirelessly.



Aizhel to DM: In case the 1st minotaur we've encounter passed away(sumalangit nawa), i'll just attack the big one.

Lady Adora to party: We've better have only one at a time.[rand=850985613183713934250376653941348645522165177958960780186250088]

To Barrend and Fenix:

Just reminding you that we only roll initiative once, at the start of the encounter. So no need for you to reroll anymore...

[Firlaf Kaean]

Barrend to DM: sir the initiative roll are just for my roll incase that we must roll another initiative and I can't get online to make my roll. I state it early so you don't have to wait my actions. Hehehe... My pc are having a little problem right now and I can't rent a pc for just a minute. My first round action just changing a weapon and the second round action is the shot I made to Minotaur 1.

[bookworm]

To Barrend: Ok, that clears it up.

To Everyone: Nikki PMed me, asking if she can join your heroic group and I thought I would get your opinions about adding another PC. Thanks...

Round Two:

Initiative Order:

Jukai 23: Attack minotaur(1)
Sand 23: Ghoststep, tumble away and draw potion
Minotaur(1) 19: Full attack
Athos 18: exchange sword with bow and move away.
Minotaur(2) 15:Full Attack
Lestrand 14: Attack minotaur(2) -Iron duke
Adora 9: Attack nearest minotaur

With an uppercut like attack, Jukai smashes his mace onto minotaur(1)'s Jaw (-5hp), staggering the monster. But Minotaur(1), shaking its head as it spits blood, somehow manages to keep it's footing inspite of the powerful blow. Still invisible, Sand tumbles away, far from the two brutes. It is only now that the ninja realizes the gravity of his wounds and with a bloody hand he retrieves a cure potion from his pack.

Although you can all see that Minotaur(1)'s wounds have finally taken its toll on the monster, It still raises both its axes as it roars in defiance of defeat and savagely attacks Jukai.

Minotaur(1) full attacks Jukai (AC20):

Right axe+10
[dice=20]
Total: 26 HIT

Damage 1d8+5
[dice=8]
Total: 13

Left axe +10
[dice=20]
Total: 28 HIT

Damage 1d8+3
[dice=8]
Total: 4

Right axe+5
[dice=20]
Total: 15 MISS

Gore+4
[dice=20]
Total: 17 MISS

With both of its axes connecting on Jukai, Minotaur(1) laughs in glee as it licks the blood from its weapons. It looks at the human hungrily and sneers "Your blood tastes good little man." With the monster occupied with Jukai, Athos moves to a spot far from the ensuing melee. The ranger exchanges his elf-made longword for his shortbow and knocks two arrows, aiming it at minotaur(1)

DM picks a random PC for Minotaur(2) to attack:
1-Adora
2-Athos
3-Jukai
4-Lestrand
[dice=4]

Like a shark smelling blood, Minotaur(2)'s eyes fills with murderous rage as it lowers its horns and charges at Athos, It's body pulsing with power as it tramples the soft ground.

Enraged Minotaur(2) charges Athos (AC 18)

Gore+16 (powerful charge)
[dice=20]
Total: 20 HIT

Damage 4d6 +10
[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Total: 22

Combining defense with offense, Lestrand weaves left to right as he moves towards Minotaur(2). The monster raises it's Axe and attacks the approaching fighter.

Minotaur(2) AoO Lestrand (AC 28)

War axe +15
[dice=20]
Total: 24 MISS

Stepping aside to dodge the Minotaur(2)'s overhead attack, Lestrand flicks his hair as he taunts the smelly beast with his patented "Lestrand Laugh" (Is this like Charlotte's taunt in Samurai Showdown?) and with a swift jab with his rapier, he bloodies the monster's side (-5hp).

Repulsed with Minotaur(1)'s actions, Adora whirls her lightning charged battleaxe and with a roundhouse slash buries it's head deep into the monsters Chest (-10hp). Minotaur(1) looks at the gaping wound at it's chest and falls dead, it's heart cut in two. Minotaur(2) howls in despair at the sight of it's dead brother and with its mouth foaming in rage it stares menacingly at Adora.

End of Round Two
Athos 24/51 hp
Jukai 49/74 hp
Sand 17/40 hp
Minotaur(1) dead
Minotaur(2) -5hp

To everyone: Your actions for round three please (For those who posted them in advance, you have the option of revising them)... [rand=7990463132094033656414342160929500632968879789652738135654257086804]

[wraith]

Sand looks at the fountain of hot blood coming out of Minotaur1's chest and smiled. Adora's got potential he thought, and Jukai and the fop Lestrand (though reckless) carried their own weight as he expected.

Sand's Round 3:


Standard Action: Drink healing potion.
[dice=8]+1=7
Move Action: Jump 20 ft up the tree using *Great Leap and land on an overhanging branch.(*no 20 ft running start)
