Esias addresses the door: "I be Esias Lightfoot, out o' Valder's Thorpe in th' Smoke Mountains, scout and pathfinder. If needful, I can make camp outside."

OOC: Ah, so Jiam is a student of Tae Kwon Leap! (Obscure pop culture reference: "Boot to the head!") Not so obscure. A friend forced me to watch Demon Hunters one night. Didn't care for it as much as The Gamers , though. Actually, I was refering to its original appearance ... :D

Esias , waiting to see if Oldin's healing magic will extend to him, checks his sole dose of cure light wounds (which he'll quaff if Oldin has nothing left; 1d8+1). "Depends on how clever these Dudes be," he remarks in response to Aeless' suggestion. "If they 'spect us t' be here wait...

Esias will remain where he is, his sword ready to use if Dude 1 decides to get frisky.

OOC: It would seem that Jiam has... issues.

Esias charges after the lumbering vehicle to 0015 and tries another jab at Dude 1 with his short sword. OOC: +8 to hit (+3 base +2 Str +1 for MW blade +2 for Oldin's spell), damage if he hits is 1d6+2+2d6 (skirmishing), crit 19-20/x2, AC is 17 (18 vs Dude 1 using Dodge) (skirmishing) And I was assu...

Jiam makes an atempt to minimize Dude 3's struggles by using one of his grappling hands to reach around and squeeze his testicles as tight as he can and render him helpless. :twisted: And must every male character who sees this maneuver make a Will save vs DC 30 or cringe in sympathetic discomfort ...

Seeing that the cluster-fight centering around Dude 1 makes archery untenable, Esias will draw his short sword and "Give 'im the Ginsu!" OOC: +10 to hit (+3 base +2 Str +1 for MW blade +2 for Oldin's spell +2 for the flank with Brand), damage if he hits is 1d6+2, crit 19-20/x2, AC is 16 (1...

Esias moves to 0415, then to 0412, and looses an arrow at Dude 1.

OOC: +9 to hit (+1 for Point Blank Range, +2 for Oldin's prayer) unless the target's in melee with an ally, then +5, doing 1d6+4+2d6 damage if it hits. AC is 17, 18 vs Dude 1 (Dodge feat).

Esias moves to 0915 and lets fly an arrow at Dude 8. OOC: +9 to hit (+1 for Point Blank Range, +2 for Oldin's prayer), doing 1d6+4+2d6 damage if it hits. Again, AC is 17, 18 vs Dude 8 (Dodge feat). Edit: if Leenah or Brand gets into melee with Dude 8 before Esias gets off his shot, he will take the...

Esias mutters a quick prayer to the Wanderer and moves to 1514, taking another shot at Dude 6.

OOC: +5 to hit (+1 for Point Blank Shot, +2 for Oldin's prayer, -4 to keep from perforating Shareev), doing 1d6+4+2d6 damage if I hit. AC is 17, 18 against Dude 6 (Dodge feat).

Actually, I believe my mother always specifically mentioned scissors when she admonished me about that. I don't recall her ever saying anything about spears -- a definite oversight on her part!

OOC: Ow! :o Esias moves to 1915 and the dubious cover/concealment the tree can offer, letting fly with another arrow at Dude 6. :x OOC: +9 to hit (should still be within 30 feet so Point Blank Shot applies, plus Oldin's spell gives +2), damage is still 1d6+4+2d6 (crit 20/x3, optimist that I am), AC...

Esias moves to 1614 and lets fly an arrow at Dude #6.

OOC: +7 to hit (thank you, Point Blank Range); damage if he hits is 1d6+4+2d6 (Point Blank Range and skirmish) [normal crit threat range of 20, x3 multiplier]; AC is 17 (+1 for skirmish movement), 18 vs Dude #6 (another +1 for Dodge).

Esias will take up position behind the tree at 2214, bow in hand as he watches the canyon for Dudes, his kuhn sheathed for the moment.

OOC: +7 Hide, +11 Listen, +14 Move Silently, +10 Search, +11 Spot, and the trackless step class feature to obscure his tracks.

Esias will follow Leenah's lead by taking a feesthool and a load or two of fulleeths (plus instruction in the kuhn's use) "just in case", but he's also trying to replenish his supply of arrows. OOC: would the scout's skirmish feature work with a pistol? Or is it more likely that the chara...

Esias regards the kuhns on the bar with a dubious expression, then shakes his head. "Best if I use what I know, m'thinkin'," he addresses Sam Tinker. "I'll carry one o' these strange rods if needful, but d'you know where I can get some arrows?" OOC: unless I'm greatly mistaken, ...

Esias frowns as he examines the dead Dudes. "Y' make these wretches sound worse'n orcs in a berserker's frenzy," he observes grimly. "I've seen what a band o' them can do t' a village, and 'tis in no wise pretty. Count me in, sage."

Ah, the deed had been done; I thought we were stepping back to run up to it. In that case: " Ekskremento! " Esias blurts an orcish curse as he watches the kindly sage cold-bloodedly kill a helpless prisoner. Whipping out his sword, he looks anxiously -- and warily -- at both murderers with...

In that case: uncertain as to the meaning of Oldin and Shareev's actions, Esias will put a hand to his sword hilt, and wait alertly to see what is toward.

OOC: And does anyone notice these dastardly deeds? Esias has a Spot of +11.

Retrieving his mug, Esias will get a refill from Alice, then look at his companions and ask, "So, where do we go from here?"

Esias cleans the blood from his short sword and goes looking for his mug.

Esias frowns at the response. "What is a dood?" he asks. "Some manner o' liege-sworn, or a freeman beholdin' t' none?"

Esias will reserve action until d3 and d4 either drop their weapons, or one of them continues the fight. In the latter case, if d3 tries something, he'll stab d3; otherwise, he'll move to 1303 (via 1505-1604-1603-1502-1402-1303 with a 40 movement) and do a skirmish attack on d4.

Esias moves to 1309 and stabs at Dude #5 again.

+6 to hit (+8 if Dude #5 is now flanked, depending on Thanis' situation), 1d6+2 damage, AC 16

If Dude #5 is holding any recognizable melee weapon, or any unknown object that might be a "kuhn", Esias will move to 1210 and stab him with his short sword. Yes, Dude #5 has one of the same "kuhns" that the others do. He shot Thanis with it last round, although it was #4 that b...

If Dude #5 is holding any recognizable melee weapon, or any unknown object that might be a "kuhn", Esias will move to 1210 and stab him with his short sword. (+6 to hit, 1d6+2 damage, AC 16) If Dude #5 doesn't seem to be armed, Esias will move to 1307 and poke Dude #3 instead. (+6 to hit, ...

IC : Anyway, since drawing a weapon is a move-equivalent action without Quick Draw, and Esias already used his move action to stand up, he'll have to take a poke at Dude #2 with his fist this round. Actually, you can move and ready a weapon as one move action, as long as your BAB is +1 or more. Ah,...

"A riot is an ugly thing... and it's high time we had one!" That was OOC (Out of Character). Jeez, hasn't anybody else here ever seen Young Frankenstein ? IC : Anyway, since drawing a weapon is a move-equivalent action without Quick Draw, and Esias already used his move action to stand up...
