Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

Okay, little note for now - Please make sure to read this entire post carefully!

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina@Billsomething@Melkor@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows

Okay Group B

This is Thunderdome! Two Sides enter - One Side Leaves!

Your rotation and lay out is as follows:

You may post in what ever order you wish and have 1 to 3 posts to take out the baddies. Having said that, we have some slower posters in the group and we have some faster posters in the group. To help keep things even where slower posters are not pressured to post more than they can but to also give faster posters some fun time we will be doing the following -

If you are a slower poster. (Meaning you take more than 2-3 days to post since your last) - please only take 1 round to take out your baddies.

If you are a faster poster. (Meaning you tend to post once a day if you are up in rotation if not more.) - please take your full 3 rounds to take out your baddies.

If any poster would like to help another poster take out stuff, pm them and work out some type of deal to attack one of theirs or if you have a group attack. (mages for example) - and see if it is fine with them for your attack to hit what they are going after.

I am leaving this fight for you to deal out damage to yourself and the baddies as you see fit. Having said that, these won't go down as easy but neither will you. Despite injuries and blood loss from the last fight, and any drink your character consumed (Tobias, lol) - you have somethings working to your advantage that the bad guys don't.

You have a fog rolling in that the baddies do not know how to deal with, so you close combat fighters will be able to benefit from this. You will be able to see 10 feet in front of you, the bad guys (due to certain alignments) - will only see 5 feet in front of them. This gives you a major advantage. (The archers, rangers, spell casters and bard is behind the fog - so they cannot see you at all but they are out of range of the fog, so once you step out of it, they will see you.)

You also have Sister Agnes. You do not have to wait for the end of the fight for her to run to your side to be healed. Call for her midfight if needed! (For those taking one round to post, if in your post you need her, pm me and I will let you know what she will will do via pm so you can put it in your post. Those taking more than one round to post their fight - call her in your post and then wait until I make a post for her to come to your aide.)

Right now in the fight it stands - Bard in the very back, next is the Illusionist and Mage with their respective pets (who will attack to defend them) - They are all defended by a row of archers and rangers - this group is outside of the fog on the edge of town to the south.

All the rest of the bad guys are in the fog! Now, remember what group you called and go for it. I have only posted their initial lay out, the rest is up to you.

1: Main Slaver that Melvus let go on a horse, with sword drawn: 2 archers with long bows: 1 Merc with a long sword and a wolf on a chain @Melkor
2: Thief that Vaeri let go on a horse, with throwing daggers: 1 Mage(Fire based) with a Blood hawk; 2 Bandits (1 with a war hammer, one with 2 throwing axes) @Penultimate_Pi
3: Bandit that Hanzo let go on a horse, with a short sword: 2 Assassins with throwing daggers: 1 Merc with a long sword and a wolf @TheWizardLizard
4: One Beastmaster with a long sword on his back with two Hyena on chains; 2 warriors wielding bastard swords - @Warrior In The Shadows
5: One Illusionist with a large owl, A bard carrying a lute, 2 rangers with crossbows

Slaver/Bandit/Merc/Warriors/Beastmaster - Chain Mail
Theif/Archers/Assassins/Rangers - Light studded armor
Mage/Illusionist/Bard - Regular Clothing - Enhanced with Mage Armor Potion

Group 5 was not claimed but we have a new player to the group. @Goldeagle1221, once you post your CS you may come in from the south and behind the group outside of the fog. (They will not notice you initially because of the fight raging but once you get close they will turn quickly and be prepared.) You have all those listed in group 5

Bill, did not know if you would be back to post for this fight, once you are free to post, let me know and I will pm you will some things you can attack or take care of.

Group A

It is time to leave the slave camp and make your way back to the village. Sana will not be returning with you as you can see. You are free to post in any rotation.

All posters - Make sure there is at least 2 posts from members of your own group between your posts

I think that covers everything, if you have any questions ask here in OOC or pm me. (Please keep comments and non RP talk out of OOC so as much information as possible can stay all together for those trying to formulate their posts.)

And again - Welcome to Thunderdome.

Edit: Bill and I have talked Via PM and he will be in this fight but he will be taking on something that is not listed in the original battle plan. Don't worry, it has been approved by me, so it is all good.

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

The Slave Camp – Group A

Sana finished hooking the horses up to the wagon and stifled a deep yawn as she covered her mouth. It had been a long day and it was only half way over; they still had a long way to go. What else would happen before the group was able to rest for the evening? Sighing deeply she pushed her hair out of her face and took a look around, they needed to get back to the village; at least most of them did. Sana had some personal matters to attend to that would cause her to stay behind. As much as she wanted to rush back to the village and make sure the rest of the group was okay she knew she couldn’t yet.

Turning as Lob came over to her she perked a brow as he held up the sword and smiled at him, reaching over and taking it slowly. “Thank you, I know he will cherish it,” she said softly before giving Lob a hug in thanks. Sana had been adventuring with an orc in the past; though Garekk was very different from Lob, he was full orc but they both seemed to have kind spirits. The same kindness she had seen in Drizzak. It was funny to her, some of the people she had come to most trust in her life where anything but humans. Perhaps that was a good thing. Taking the sword she laced it through the straps on her back that held her quivers in place and made sure it was snug and would stay in place.

“Okay, let us get these folks loaded up and back to the village,” Sana said as she turned back to everyone there and began to slowly help former prisoners up from their resting spots and into the wagon for the long trek back to safety and away from this hell they had been living in. Stopping for a moment she looked over what the others had found and nodded. “Nice haul. I am with Fiona; I say give most of this to the village and the people here. At least some of it was probably theirs when they were captured,” Sana said as she leaned down and brushed her fingers through the gold and gems in the chest. “It will take a lot to get these people taken care of and the village itself doesn’t exactly look rich,” she added as she righted herself and went back to helping load up the people into the wagon. Sana didn’t bother looking at what all was there; she wasn’t exactly interested in what was found. Lob had been kind enough to give her a sword she could give Hugh and she had per parents rings. It was more than she had expected and was fine with that little bit.

Once the last person was in the wagon Sana took a deep breath and walked over to Fiona and Vaeri; clearing her throat a bit and standing there looking a little nervous, something that was not common with Sana. “I need a favor,” she started before continuing. “I need you all and the others to go back to the village without me. I need to bury my father and well I need some time to clear my head. I can take care of cleaning this place up and getting rid of the rest of the bodies. These people don’t need to wait around any longer than they already have to get some food in their stomachs,” she said as she looked at Fiona and Vaeri. She wanted to go back but she knew it wasn’t time yet. “Could you let Hugh know I am alright and I will be back by nightfall?” she asked as she looked at the two women that had come with her. “I know he will be worried sick when you show up and I am not there but yeah, I need some time to clear my head. I just need sometime alone,” she admitted. It had been a rough day and right then the best thing for her was a few hours without anyone around her.

The Village – Group B

Gal wore a hate filled smirk on his lips as his group approached the village. Only a small handful had come out to fight and they looked worn and ragged, there were many missing from the initial fight and Gal thought to himself that this would be easier than he had originally thought. He did not bother to wonder where the rest where. They were not there so they were not his problem right then. He never imagined that they were at his camp to the north and were in the middle of bringing back the people his slave group had captured and that those left behind were now dead.

“Kill them all, make it painful, make it last. Let this village know they either come quietly when we are here or they lose everything,” Gal ordered to his minions. “Now!” he said as thrust his sword into the air and the group ran forward to attack those that dared to stand between him and village. The mercenaries who had wolves on chains and the beastmaster who had the hyenas released them from their binds and ordered them to kill anyone on the street; the beasts rushing forward as they did. One wolf ran right at Melkor while the other charged Tobias, teeth bared and snarling as they went. Both the hyenas decided to run towards the largest man in the group, right towards Hugh, bent on ripping him limb from limb as they charged.

The illusionist and the mage stayed towards the back of the group with the bard behind them, the archers and rangers forming a line before them to cut off incoming attacks while the rest of the assailants rushed forward behind the beasts. These were not the same type of group that had attacked the village earlier that morning; this group was ready for a fight. They had their weapons, they were armored and this time they were organized. Sister Agnes stood there to the side of the fight that was beginning to break out and her eyes widened. Could this small group of adventurers really stop this onslaught to the village? She didn’t know but she could keep them healed through the fight.

The archers let off a volley of arrows towards those that stood against them and from behind the line of ranged weapons the illusionist began to chant. From his hand a barrage of flying axes went wising through the air, they looked solid and were meant to cause confusion for the group as a whole. The axes would cause no damage, they were a mere illusion but they looked real enough. The mages spell however was anything but an illusion but it could seem that way. From between the buildings on either side of the village a fog came rolling in, thick and fast until it blanketed the road as either side of the fog banks crashed together in the middle of the village, rising up.

It would make things more difficult to see but for the mage had misjudged just how good it would work for his team and underestimated how effective it would be for those defending the village. The trying to save the village were close combat fighters for the most part. They were not long ranged. Swords, hand to hand, daggers is what they carried and being able to sneak up on their assailants would make things easier. It would also make it harder for the archers and rangers of the slavers to actually hit a target; it was a rare break in luck for the brave souls that stood against the evils before them. Hopefully they would use it to their advantage.

The last one to do anything was the bard. He stood there waiting, his lute in hand before he began to play it once the fog rolled in. He began to try to play a suggestion song as he looked towards the one standing off to the side; Sister Agnes. Trying to get her to heal those he stood with instead of those that truly needed divine intervention at this point. The sisters head felt foggy as the song came to her hears. Shaking her head slightly a she stood there, trying to fight off the effects of the song before she could end up doing something she regretted.

Hrm, okay, I have an idea to make posting less stressful for those that cannot post often but will also cater to faster posters. I am going to go ahead and get a post together for group A and B and then post the notes here in ooc as per usual. Hopefully it will help.

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

@Penultimate_Pi Yeah I changed it up. We have one person absent and a new player coming into the mix. Was wanting to make sure everyone posted to end the round for group B before I started the fight before moving on since there was a lot more information posted in my last group B post. (Full details of what you all will be going up against and such.) It doesn't have to be a long post but I really wanted to make sure that all reactions were covered and there were no skipped posts this round. That way everyone that is active is starting on the same posting round come my next post. Again, doesn't have to be a long post but there are things to cover since the full size of the group you all will be facing is up now - and you are a person down. (Technically 2 since Zack and Mortosh are not around for the fight and you have two people with a lot of blood loss.)

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina

Okay, group A, quick update - Horrid and Knight are up to post so they can handle their loot find post - Lumi, Dragon and I are on hold until they post. Once they do, then we will move forward.

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

Bringing to most recent OOC page -

K, just moving this down a bit and updating - Once Wits and Pi post, I will post for group B and kick off the fight. (Don't worry, #5 will be taken care of)

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina@Billsomething@Melkor@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows

Group A - You are in free rotation but, here is the kicker - You may only post once 2 people in your group post since your last post. Right now we need to free the captives and tend to them and the groups wounds as well as a few other things at the encampment.

Okay Group B - the shit has hit the fan.

Welcome to Thunderdome

As with group A - you will have 1-3 rounds to take out your group of baddies. Rotation will be free up to 3 posts each person. (You do not have to take 3 rounds to take out your baddies but if you use 1, please make it one heck of a post.) Deal out your damage to yourself and your baddies as you see fit. If you need healing between a post or at the end of a post - Call for Sister Agnes! and hold your next post until she tends to you. (I will make a post for her.)

Remember these will not go down as easy as the last fight.

Now, pick a number to pick your group and post your number here in OOC before you make an IC post.

1: Main Slaver that Melvus let go on a horse, with sword drawn: 2 archers with long bows: 1 Merc with a long sword and a wolf on a chain @Melkor
2: Thief that Vaeri let go on a horse, with throwing daggers: 1 Mage(Fire based) with a Blood hawk; 2 Bandits (1 with a war hammer, one with 2 throwing axes) @Penultimate_Pi
3: Bandit that Hanzo let go on a horse, with a short sword: 2 Assassins with throwing daggers: 1 Merc with a long sword and a wolf @TheWizardLizard
4: One Beastmaster with a long sword on his back with two Hyena on chains; 2 warriors wielding bastard swords - @Warrior In The Shadows
5: One Illusionist with a large owl, A bard carrying a lute, 2 rangers with crossbows

Slaver/Bandit/Merc/Warriors/Beastmaster - Chain Mail
Theif/Archers/Assassins/Rangers - Light studded armor
Mage/Illusionist/Bard - Regular Clothing - Enhanced with Mage Armor Potion

Rotation for Group B -

1. All of group B may post once to hear the call that Hanzo made, run back to town and/or prep for the fight but do not engage as of yet.
2. Once enough have posted in group B (I have not decided yet how many that will be) - I will post again in IC to start the fight.
