Dungeon Crawling, Round 1!

[Dracos]

Ayane, noticing they've seen through her ruse, or at least seem to be prepared, readies herself, her chain subtly swaying near her feet.  In a blink it could vanish into a blur of pain, but as she smiled disarmingly at them, she did not approach, staying steadily between the orc and them.  As soon as they reach her, her blue 'rope' will begin a blurring spin, striking at their weapon hands almost invisibly while proving truly dangerous to pass through.

OOC:
Fighting defensively, -4 bab, +3 ac.  Delaying until their beat.  Intent is to disarm the first five with AoOs and then go for the sixth with a disarm and a finishing kick since they'll likely be in range.  AC 29.  Rolls would be +18 for all AoOs, 18 for first disarm attack, +6 for the finishing kick.

[Anastasia]

Ayane stands firm as the knights prepare to charge, her spiked chain at the ready!

Krog, you're up.

[Merc]

Krog raises his sword overhead and charges at the nearest knight (ooc: assuming it is one where Krog won't bowl over Ayane, otherwise, next closest option).

"FOR MATERIAL FOR SECOND BOOK IN SERIES!!!" Krog also cries out his own warcry as he moves in to split the knight in two.

ooc: Charging, with Power Attack -6, so attack would be +15, damage would be 2d6+26 if it hits.

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+26 and gets 33." [2d6=5, 2]

Full of the rage of the great Krog, Krog charges the nearest knight! His greatsword slices through the first knight like paper! His body is cut in twain, falling into two neat halves just behind Krog! Material obtained! The other five knights have a look of honest shock on their faces at that display of barbarism! But it's not over yet! Krog rebounds from his stroke, using his oversized sword like a rapier, aiming it at the eye of the second knight!

> roll 2d6+26
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+26 and gets 30." [2d6=1, 3]

With a sickening crack a good half of the skull of the knight gives way, his head skewered like a small shrimp on a huge barbie! A second knight falls, dispatched with speed and raw force!

Ayane, taking your held action or holding longer?

[Dracos]

While they are distracted, Ayane simply walks towards the knights, keeping them all within the edge of the range of her chain as she lashes out at the nearest one to Krog.  While not used to such barbaric manners...she had come out to this place to steel herself as a better martial artist...and being prepared for such things was part of it.  Or at least, that's what she told herself.

OOC:
Disarm 18 on that.  Hopefully they have to walk through my threatened area to get to Krog, 2 squares on all sides of me.

[Anastasia]

The knights, while shaken, rally! One of them holds his sword up, "For the White River and the Red Eagle!" he declares, "For the honor of our fallen comrades. Chaaaarge!" With those words, the four knights charge Ayane! But she is a whirlwind, taking advantage!

> roll 1d20+18
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 38." [1d20=20]
> roll 1d20+9
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 22." [1d20=13]

> roll 1d20+9
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 28." [1d20=19]

Well. That's that.

Three strikes disarm the leader and the two behind him, sending swords to the ground with a fierce vengence! The last is able to counter effectively, holding on and finishing his doomed charge with a proud if shaken battlecry!

> roll 1d20+9
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 21." [1d20=12]
> roll 1d8+5
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+5 and gets 13." [1d8=8]

Ouch.

With bravery and skill exceeding his fellows, this knight slashes into Krog's leg, opening a wound! "Surrender, fiend!" he cries, glancing back nervously at Ayane. "Surely you control this maiden's amazing gestures!"

Intiative is now Krog>Ayane>Knightsx4. Krog, you're up. Also note your current HP in your post for trackign now that you're hurt?

[Merc]

HP: Had 8 temporary HP, and 61/65. Now would be 56/65.

Krog looks down at the little man. "Krog offer let go namby pamby liars if say sorry to king-man above. You lie to Krog and little human one, call Krog wheel, and stab Krog leg. Krog say...no."

With that, Krog slashes back and forth.

Full attack: +15/+10 with Power Attack 4. Damage is 2d6+22 if an attack hits.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Ko-Koing rolls 1d20+15 and gets 27." [1d20=12]

> roll 2d6+22
* Hatbot --> "Ko-Koing rolls 2d6+22 and gets 28." [2d6=2, 4]

While this knight shows competence by parrying Krog's first slash, it leaves him wide open for the second! It cleaves through his side like a hot knife through butter, leaving a gaping wound! He hangs on, greviously wounded in one strike! "We will...never surrender!" he retorts, "Foul villain!"

Ayane, you're up.

[Dracos]

A silencing strike slashes across the man's neck from her whirling chains, the swiftly moving metal somehow moving right around Krog as it hunted its target, the other side slashing into the leader's leg.

OOC:
Two chain attacks, +12 and +7 respectively.  2d4+1

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 27." [1d20=15]
> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 and gets 18." [1d20=11]
> roll 2d4+1
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d4+1 and gets 7." [2d4=4, 2]'

Fatality.

With whip like reflexes Ayane slices through the surviving knight, cutting him down in front of Krog like ripe wheat! The other three knights, alive but disarmed, look on dismay. "F-fall back!" one of them calls, then another, "Reinforcements! We need reinforcements!" With that, the three retreat to the back door, throwing it open in haste.  As they start to scurry through it, you can see what looks to be another wooden barricade ahead, like in a few rooms back. However, this one is manned with spearmen and archers, alert and ready!

Krog, you're up now. Feel free to react/chase/whatever.

[Merc]

"Krog always knew you liars were namby pamby doo doo heads! Krog will tell king-man about you!" the half-orc shouts after the fleeing little human knights, before grinning at Ayane. "See, little human one? Krog say they were fakes! True king tin-men never run!"

[Dracos]

"Krog, don't start gloating before they're done..." She raced after them, but noticing the barricade was covered, moved into step right behind one of the knights, using their well plated and fleeing forms as protection.

OOC:
Total defense.  AC 32.  Using the knights as cover if possible. :)

Hatbot likes to see you suffer. Ow.

Like a whirlwind Ayane ducks and weaves, flying between arrows and using the fleeing knights as an ample shield! After a few weaves, however, one arrow rips by her shoulder, a perfect shot that wounds her! Yet her grace remains, smoothly grasping one arrow by the shaft an inch away from her face and tossing it aside! Were it not for the arrow that embeds into her leg a second later, it would have been almost flawless! Still, the worst of the arrow storm has been completely evaded!

Meanwhile, three dead knights in full plate and with longswords lie in the previous room, as well as a jewelled mace.

Krog's up. Initiative is Krog>Ayane>Knights and barricaders.

[Merc]

Krog sighs as he watches Ayane charge forward. "Krog no think going towards men with pointy launchy things is good idea, little human one!" the half-orc shouts as he lets go of his weapon so he can cast a spell of protection on himself and go help soon.

Magic Vestment, +2AC

[Anastasia]

So warded by the MIGHT OF KROG, Krog gains a bonus to his defense! Meanwhile, Ayane...

Ayane, you're up.
