♬ revolution roulette - poets of the fall

WHO || Hasmed, Andie Dodge, Kali, Nels Llendo, Henry Mills, Cara
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked to recover the commandeered weapons taken from Failboat.
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ Hasmed saves for himself his memorized spell to teleport without error, which means there's no chance of his own group appearing miles off the mark. they land instead at the edge of the forest, looking out towards the high chain link fence that surrounds the airfield. on the far end of it, outside the fence, a large brick building is positioned against the river. Hasmed mumbles a few words, cloaking the small group in invisibility, which also means they... can't see each other, sorry guys. He at least gave them a moment to note each other's positions before he did it. ]

That would be our destination.

[ RUDE! kali finally releases her guard, taking a step back so she can aim a straight kick at.... the back of his neck. she has a focus, okay? (atk 24, dmg 11) ]

[goonsquad]

[ bastards are still up, although kali's looks pretty woozy. he turns around, and to punch her again (atk 25), whiffing just barely since hasmed is... warning them seconds before he manages, aww yis. the other guy takes a shot as andie stabs him, and it goes wild entirely (atk... 8) ]

[asap]

This is taking way longer than I'd hoped! [She easily dodges the shot and moves at him again in that crazy twisty way she has (tumble 34), then jabs again with her sword (atk 27, dmg 9).]

[felidity]

[ kali straight up cheats.

and kicks him

right in the nuts. (atk 23, dmg 16) ]

[eldritchweaver]

[ luckily unarmed attacks are non-lethal otherwise kali would have just murdered that guy with a kick to the gonads. as it is, his eyes just roll back and he slumps over in more pain than any other man should ever be in.

meanwhile, andie's last stab... does murder that guard. whoops. ]

[asap]

[Ohmygodhesdead. Andie looks a little nauseated, but she doesn't even so much as hiccup (fort nat 20). She zips back over to the others because it's easier than shouting.] We're good. They're... taken care of.

[eldritchweaver]

Let's waste no further time, then. [ he moves against the wall of the structure, and lays a hand against the stone, before whispering something in the sibilant language of the yuan-ti. the wall rearranges itself beneath his palm, creating a simple passage that leads right into the hall beyond. ] Go quickly.

[felidity]

Your voice sounds like butterfly wings. [ with that... compliment?? she ducks inside, quick and quiet (move silently 34), prepared to take on whatever is on the other side. because that's what she was built for, protecting ordinary people.

yeah, she considers everyone else ordinary. oops.

she keeps her eyes peeled and her ears not... quite open. (spot 26, listen 14) ]

[asap]

Quickly is my middle name! Well, actually, it's Severus, but that's an awful name and it should have been Quickly. [She zips in behind Kali, not quite as quietly but still barely making a whisper, (move silently 23), keeping her eyes wide open as they move (spot 24). Her ears are less wide open, possibly because she's so tense that every sound takes far too long for her to even want to pay attention until it's finished (listen 6).]

[wanttobeahero]

[ Wordlessly, Henry steps forward, moving quietly (move silently 16) behind Andie. He's not doing so well with keeping his eyes open (spot 7) and stumbles a bit, missing something in his path. He recovers, but it's a little embarrassing, though (hopefully) makes up for that snafu by listening well (listen 21), alert and ready to spring into action. ]

Sorry about that.

[ He whispers under his breath, just...because he might have nearly toppled into Andie. ]

[mordsith]

[Cara is mostly frustrated that she didn't opt to step in and help them. She assumed they'd be better at handling two guards and clearly she'll know to step in next time.

For now, she follows the group making sure to stay alert to her surroundings. (spot nat 20 + 8) (move silently nat 20 + 6) [look I didn't believe it either] but that happened and I just pray those don't mean I have to do more stuff.]

[asap]

It's cool! It's hard to see! [She grabs his arm again. They can be buddies.]

[wanttobeahero]

[ He's not opposed to more buddies, so he just lets her hold onto him as they move carefully, smirking to himself. At least she's good-natured about it. ]

[eldritchweaver]

[ henry would hear the clip of boots down the hallway to the left around a corner, and cara would spot shadows moving on the opposite wall there that imply guards are moving this way, at a slow but steady pace. the hallway branches to the right as well, and there's a large iron door down that way, that looks heavily sealed. ]

[wanttobeahero]

Someone's coming.

[ He doesn't want to say much, because they don't need to suddenly draw attention to themselves, and his voice is pitched low, but he stops moving, waiting for everyone else so they have a consensus on where to move next. ]

[mordsith]

[Cara nods in agreement.]

They're patrolling. [The even pace to the shadows makes her think they're bored or used to routine.]

We should strike now, before they realize that we're here.

[zwy_il]

[Move Silently 21, Nels slips in with the rest of them, and drops an orb of darkness over the left side of the hallway with the guards. Maybe it will give them enough cover to provide a non-violent solution.]

Oloth... That will buy us some time.

[felidity]

I don't suppose anyone brought a map? [ looking with adorable earnest hope at you, hasmed. ] I'm thinking weapons behind the big door?

[eldritchweaver]

[ he nods, and moves towards it, muttering a snake-like incantation that casts a knock spell and unlocks them. the doors swing open, and he heads into the hallway beyond. ] Swiftly.

[asap]

Still my middle name! [She zips past him, though she doesn't go too far ahead of the group as she searches... though not all that effectively (search 12).]

[eldritchweaver]

[ andie really only has to turn the corner up ahead to find something.

something big.

something winged.

something with three heads.

and no, of course they're not nice heads, either. it sports the body of a lion, though a dragon and a horned goat head flank its central leonine one. it has to be ten feet long, with red scales that match those on its dragon head. its eyes are currently closed, and its curled up in front of another set of large doors. :) ]

[asap]

[Andie is just gonna

Nope on out of there and back around the corner (move silently 15 but to be fair LOOK AT THAT THING).]

Giant lion dragon goat thing!!!

[She hisses it out, eyes wide. Knowledge 8...]

[felidity]

Oh, I saw a lion at the zoo! [ so helpful. ] That sounds like an endangered species.

[eldritchweaver]

A chimera. [ oh gr8 ] No doubt set to guard the very stores we seek.

What color was the dragon's head, child?

[asap]

Red. [She takes a breath to steady herself.] Red and terrifying.
