Re: Hammer time
"The conundrum is solved partly in the fact that Broo are just as hampered by darkness as you and I are, hence their light source." Sangraal answers the frowning mage.
"Atans plan is a good one. Lets just suprise them and rush. We are looking at pretty good odds."
Mad do you have the ability to summon flame?" Sangraal says quietly shrugging off his pack.
"Any of the spellcasters can wait and cast light if the light source is extinguished."
Sangraal hefts his flail indicating that he wishes to engage in the melee that is surely soon to follow.
[OOC: Sangraal will wait till Atan gives the word before moving to attack. If no one wants to cast light, then Sangraal will do a trigger action on casting lightspell if the only light source dissappears.]

Re: Hammer time
Meneloss quetly says :" And do not call me Men either. My name is Me-ne-loss." (pronounced lowss) He smirks at Atan with a knowing smile.
Finally he adds, "Lets follow through with Atan's plan. Now is not the time for debate, we all agreed to follow his lead."
Meneloss tries to calm himself, despite the impending attack.

Re: Hammer time
[It's just Dex for missile weapons. Some GM's use a House Rule that it's Dex for attack and Strength for damage if he weapon is muscle-powered, but Scott hasn't said, so the default is Dex. Either way, you'd only get one.]
"Very well," says Madragar, "then let us be upon them before they hear us."

Vandals...
Ruig extinguishes his lantern, Kezib his torch, and in total darkness the group is led northward by the dwarves. Progress is slow, and their movement is not altogether silent, but in a few minutes Ruig and Draxim have reached the illuminated archway with a trail of blind elves and humans behind them.
Atan takes quick peek around the lintel of the archway and sees that the situation is the same as it was the last time Draxim was here. Two broo standing, one sleeping. One broo holds a torch, the other a hammer. Another lit torch is set against one of the stone diases. All three of the beasts are about seventy feet away, their distant torchlight only barely illuminating the intervening hallway.
"Galagra hal vrash!" the hammer-wielding broo shouts before propelling his weapon against the leg of one of the statues. The torch-bearer snorts and laughs as chips of stone scatter across the floor.
Atan catches a whiff of excrement and old urine.

Re: Vandals...
[Do I understand it correctly that there is a torch lit archway between us and another passage leading to the broo (which is illuminated by the broos torch?]
[The arched hallway runs east to west. The party is currently at the eastern end of the hallway, around the corner. The broo are in the room to the west. The broo have two torches, one of which is on the ground near them. The hallway itself isn't fully lit, but the broo's torchlight faintly illuminates the western end of the hallway, enough for the group to know where the hallway ends and the chamber begins. -GM]

Re: Vandals...
[And how is it possible the third broo is sleeping through this? Could he be dead?]
[Atan takes a long look at the broo in question and can see its big, furry chest rising and falling. Despite the tremendous racket of the hammer, it appears to be sleeping. Broo are ferocious fighters, but they are also animals - lazy, chaotic beasts that sleep most of the day, driven by their instincts more than their tiny brains. -GM]

Re: Vandals...
Atan, with his right hand on Draxims collar gentley nudges the dwarf to continue forward. His other hand holding his bow and an arrow nocked on the string. After another a dozen paces he halts the group with in chargeing distance by pulling on Draxim's collar lightly. The flickering light of the Broo's torches dimmly outlining Draxim.
As silently as possible he moitions for Meneloss and Madragar to bring there weapons to bear. Drawing back his own arrow he allows the creaking of the bow and string to alert the others missliers to line up their targets. Taking careful aim on the torch holding Broo he pauses.
[We will not get close enough to enter the torch light I figured we would be between 50 and 60 feet away. Atan will shoot the next time the broo yell aloud and swing the mallet. If they stop or are alerted, Atan will signal to shoot followed by a whistle to indicate for the others to attack.]

Re: Old Kurlew, Part IV
Madragar fires on Atan's signal. [+1 Light Crossbow (1d8, 19-20 x2 crit, range inc. 80')].
As soon as he has fired, he moves out of the way of the fighters and prepares to cast a spell.
[2d6 damage? What the hell kind of bow is that?]

Re: Vandals...
Clang! The mallet falls again, raising a yell of triumph from the torch wielding broo.
Atan lets fly, the cloth-yard shaft soaring through the darkness and into the broo's spine. The beast's scream is cut short a split second later by Draxim's bolt striking it in the neck, just behind its black-furred ear. Madragar fires as well, but the bolt is wide and shatters against one of the statues. The broo drops to the cold stone floor like a wet sack of wheat.
For the moment, the hammer-wielding creature doesn't seem to notice [that was a really, really bad Listen roll]. And winds up for another swing.

Re: Vandals...
Meneloss takes a mighty stride and hurls the javelin at the hammer weilding brute.

Re: Vandals...
Meneloss heaves the javelin into the darkness. The missile arcs down toward the oblivious broo but only grazes the beast. Recoiling in surprise, the broo wheels around and sees its murdered comrade.

Re: Vandals...
Stalking forward into the torch light, Atan's right hand reflexively snakes over his shoulder and draws another arrow from his quiver ........draw....aim.....release.
[move w/in 30 feet fo broo w/ mallet and shoot +6 to hit/ 2d6 +2 dmg]
[If Draxim, Meneloss and I don't drop him or if the other broo starts to wake, Atan will give the signal for the others to move into the room and kill them all.]

Re: Vandals...
Atan stalks forward into the orange, flickering glow of the torchlight. His strides are even and smooth, eye and arrowtip in perfect alignment. The arrow cuts through the air and buries itself in the broo's chest, staggering the beast but not putting it down for good. The thing sees Atan clearly and looks ready to charge.
Nearby, the reclining broo lurches up to its feet, from sleep to full lucidity in a fraction of a second.

Re: Vandals...
Meneloss draws his sword with a fluid motion. The blade sings "shing!" as it is slides out of the scabbard. The beautiful Elven weapon gleams orange from the torchlight. He moves quickly striding into the dim torchlight next to Atan. He takes a step past his companion, covering the archer.

Re: Vandals...
If Madragar has a shot, he reloads and takes the shot. If not, he instead moves out of the way of the onrushing warriors and intones the eldritch phrases of the Charm of Sovreign Deflection.

Re: Vandals...
[Madragar does indeed have a shot.]
Remembering years of tedious training plunking crossbow bolts into rain barrels, the tatooed wizard's hands work the deadly contraption. Heave back the string, bolt in place, raise to shoulder, aim, fire... the bolt whistles down the vacant hallway. The still surprised broo accepts the bolt, quite unwillingly, in the abdomen and crumples over, blood pouring from its gasping mouth - not dead but clearly incapacitated.

Re: Vandals...
Draxim loads and fires on the sleepy broo, as long as he has an unobstructed shot. If shot is obstructed he moves to within 20 feet and pulls out his axe.

Re: Vandals...
[The sleeping broo woke up a few seconds ago.]
Draxim loads and fires in a series of fluid and familiar motions. The crouching broo is struck in the thigh by his bolt and howls in agony.
