Jesla looks at Kiven and grits her teeth in irritation and frustration . She takes the sword from him without a word and joins Grumblejack by the door. Putting her shoulder to the door she assists in breaking into the room.
Once done with the kitchen staff and handing off the sword, the prince makes for the dining room exit once again. Stopping suddenly by the door he unexpectedly witnesses Jesla and Grumblejack breaking into the barracks. "I imagine you all are more experienced with prisons, but does one typically go looking for more guards while escaping? Perhaps we should contemplate simply...leaving?"
To Eya he inquires "the passphrase is likely useful, but I'm not sure your new pet will fit into servant's rags." "How do you propose we take our leave?"
Eya replies to Aloro, "If we let the guards in the barracks live, they will leave after we're gone and alert the entire complex with a signal horn." Regarding Grumblejack, she says, "He's a useful tool for now. A beautiful creature of raw, untapped strength. He's also smarter than most any ogre I've met, being able to follow simple instructions. It would be foolish not to use him. I say we simply grab some gear from the armory nearby then make a quick break for the gatehouse that the servants spoke of. From there we can cross the bridge. If we use this card game as a distraction, guard duty might be light and we can take out small groups of them as we make our way out. Jesla, Grumblejack, and I are far from stealthy, that much is certain, so the way I see it our best bet is to just move quickly and try to take out whoever gets in our way."
Jesla and Grumblejack shove HARD. Shouts go up from within as they manage to move the door, a pair of beds shoved up against said door, and a couple of people bracing the beds. The group can see movement within. None of the guards seen are wearing armor, some don't even have clothing on. They all have picked up weapons however. Somebody rushes the door with an axe. Grumblejack responds by grabbing the man's head with a huge fist and squeezing until the skull pops.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eya notices the muscle pair break into the room to the north and quickly looks to her eagle to go assist them. The eagle flys over Jesla's head and around the room avoiding the first three guards and heading straight for the lone one on the left side of the room. Meanwhile, Eya dashes over to the other side of the room to prepare for a fight.
No more Smite Good up sadly, though who knows if these guys can even be labeled as "good" right now. Eagle will move to T7 and attack the guard at T6. Meanwhile, Eya will move up to Y11 with her back up against the wall.
With a sigh and an eye roll, Kiven says aloud but mostly to himself "this is why you should rely on no one but yourself, Aloro".
The elf moves to the north of the room a bit, just far enough to find a target for his daze spell while also avoiding standing right in the doorway to the main hall. Ideally there is a target not currently being savaged by Jesla or Grumblejack to stun, sparing Kiven's companions an attack from the target in the coming seconds. Again with a quick word in elven, a touch of the component pouch and a swift hand gesture the prince tries to 'choke out' one of the half nude guards.
Respar shakes his head when Jesla and the ogre decide to attack the guards who have barricaded themselves. He says to Eya, "It would have been simple enough to destroy signaling horns. But let's do it." He grabs the spear the one decent soldier they've bested dropped and moves to the door to use it. He is obvious able to use it, but not as well as something lighter.
Jesla laughs as the guards are seen hiding in the barracks naked. " I see why the women here look so unhappy. If all men here are like the lot of you..." She then steps forward to confront the nearest guard. She winks at him as she slashes towards his abdomen with her longsword . She keeps a keen eye out for any other guards and will strike at them as well.
She will move to Z10 trying to avoid taking any more attacks than necessary at the moment .
Eya's eagle is the first to charge in, darting to meet one of the guards in the back, unfortunately the bird merely scratches his opponent. Jesla moves forward, but misses her target.
The eagle is struck, but it is only a light blow. Jesla is missed with an attack, as is Respar when someone flings a knife
Respar has more luck, stabbing a guard through the shoulder with the purloined spear. Kiven steps up and mutters a spell, the man wounded by the rogue goes glassy eyed and starts swaying in place.
Grumblejack moves up as well, swinging his makeshift club at one of the guards behind the barricade of beds. But his target ducks, and the table leg bounces uselessly off of the furniture. He takes a spearpoint in the arm for his trouble.
Three guards are holding back, helping each other don suits of armor before joining the fray.
Eagle took 4 damage and is still up. Kiven needs to make a Perception check
Kiven's elven ears hear a tiny squeak behind him and, from the corner of his eye, he looks to see the kitchen staff contemplating an escape from the area. The prince turns to face them, eyes wide, staring them down in anger. "DO NOT be so FOOLISH! We have shown you mercy. Do you prefer to explore your other options?" The prince puts one hand on the kitchen knife in his belt and stands between the kitchen and dining room doors, blocking their path and staring them down until they retreat into the kitchen and shut the door.
Jesla knows that while recovering from changing forms that she is extremely vulnerable . She moves into a more defensive stance until she can summon her inner beast again .
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The wounded eagle kakraws in desperation as it unleashes a flurry of talons and bites at the half-naked, sad excuse of a guard.
Meanwhile, Eya says softly to Grumblejack, "Hey big guy, I'm giving you a small boost okay? Protect me and I will take care of you." She gently places her hand on Grumblejack's thigh and mutters the word "protect" in Infernal.
Eagle Attacks: 11, 13, 4
Eagle Damages: 3, 2, 1
Eya is casting Resistance on Grumblejack, +1 to saving throws for a minute.
At Kiven's words, the kitchen staff retreat and slam the door shut behind them.
Eya's Eagle keeps up it's assault, but does not manage to land anything of significance. A moment later, a short sword ends its time on this plane.
Respar and Jesla strike out in turn. They each manage to wound their targets. The guard before the Barbarian swings, misses, and actually manages to lose his grip on his weapon.
Grumblejack gets stabbed again, but then gets the bright idea of kicking the bed in front of him at the guards clustered behind it. Three men go down, with the Peice of heavy furniture on top of their legs
Jesla laughs as the bed traps the three men. " Your numbers are falling rapidly ." She places both hands on her sword and strikes out savagely at the naked guard in front of her . " Gorum receives little glory from me fighting children like you . Surrender now and you can live. Otherwise we will kill every last one of you ." Blood is still dripping down her face and onto her tunic.
All attacks are power attacks. She uses two hands to wield the sword now.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Respar joins in calling for their surrender. "Drop the weapons, and we'll lock you in cells. You don't have to die, which you appear ti want to avoid." But he keeps pressing with the spear.
Assuming the three are trapped by the bed, he works around the wall to attack the one at T-6, which I think had been fighting the summoned bird, right?Attack 18
Eya sees Grumblejack taking several hits and feels frustrated as she can't really help much right now. She cuts her thumb using one of her fangs then says to Grumblejack, "This will feel a bit strange big guy, but you should start feeling better soon." She smears a drop of blood on his thigh and mutters some infernal incantation. Grumblejack's wounds begin to heal.
Infernal Healing on Grumblejack. 1hp per round for 10 rounds. Yes I know that its better as an ooc heal but i'm super limited right now and I love Grumblejack. Also apologies for posting so late. Yesterday was a dnd marathon at pax for me. Barely had time to eat lol.
Kiven watches the kitchen for a moment to ensure the door stays shut before moving on towards the barracks. He watches the kitchen and dining room out of the corner of his eye for any more trouble before running into Grumblejack. “Stand aside, please, my cerebral behemoth.” The Prince surveys the oddest of battles and then shouts “ENOUGH!” “Did you not hear the offer to stop this nonsense? Either choose the wrath of this savage (he nods towards Jesla) or choose the mercy of your soon to be Lord, the chosen son of Aloro!” “...It is a simple choice.”
OOC
Intimidation: (rolled an 18 on Discord). DM I’m pretty sure I have +8 intimidation but don’t have my character sheet up right now.
Grumblejack makes a querulous noise as Eya's magic begins its work, and begins to furiously scratch at one of the healing wounds with his free hand. Jesla meanwhile makes a hard lunge, and spits the guard before her on her sword.
Respar works his way around the fight and finishes off the man wounded by Eya's eagle.
Kiven bids that Grumblejack step up, the ogre does so, planting a heavy foot onto the bed, eliciting groans and cries of pain from the two who had not quite managed to wiggle out from underneath it. He smashes one of their heads in with his club for good measure.
The prince steps in and makes his challenge. The three who had held back in order to don their armor turn, finally ready for the fight, only to find themselves mostly alone, with blood strewn everywhere. There is a tense moment of silence, and then weapons start hitting the floor as the remaining guards give up.
