Suprise Round!

Post by Wayloss » Sun Nov 27, 2005 11:15 am

Initiative: Huit 22; Tiamac 19 Dhilian 15; Warriors 10; Ix-Tub-Tun 0

Huitzilopochtli the strange loaner raises three eagle feathers to the sky as he turns towards the largest of the humanoids, (O6)He calls upon the plants of the jungle he protects. The vines and folliage grasp the strange creatures, tieing them and holding them in place. Even the large one who appears to be a leader is tied tightly unable to move!
Huitzopochitli Casts Entangle, O4, O5, O6 all entangled!
From the foilage to west two "Oversized" arrows emmerge from from the foilage shooting past the un-aware Ix-Tub-Tun. Both Missiles fly wide digging into the foilage.
Attack #1: 7 +2 -2(range) =7 Miss!
Attack #2: 7 +3 -2 =9
The warriors entangled heave against their bonds struggling to get free, and one of them manages to do so, but the largest one remains deeply entangled. The one struggles through the branches and runs forward towards Huit and Tiamac, brandishing a heavy club with a heavy stone at the head. But he can not make it to them yet.
Break Entangle Strength DC 20, 5 25 8
The warriors closest to Ix-Tub-Tun actually ignore him, at least the two that were attacked do, rushing off towards the sourse of the "Arrows". The Remaining one steps from the brush brandishing his spear The sharp obsidian tip drives deep into Ix-Tub-Tun's shoulder, spinning the man around as it comes out bloody.
O3 attacks Ix-Tub-Tun 4 +17 =21 vs FF AC 13

5 Damage

Huitzilopochtli frowns as one of the strange beasts breaks free from the vines. "It appears there is quite the battle about to begin," he says in a rather unconcerned manner. "Well, we shall have to do something about that, I suppose." Huitzilopochtli smiles fiently, steps forward, and then, as calmly as he speaks, he grabs his maca with both hands, swinging it violently toward the uncoming brute.

Round 1 - A New Enemy

Post by Wayloss » Mon Nov 28, 2005 7:53 am

Initiative: Huitz 22; Tiamac 19; Dhilian 15; Warriors 10; Ix-Tub-Tun 0

Everyone may act this round!
Huitzilopochtli in a rather calm manner steps forward to meet the rushing creature, pulling free from his side the Obsidian edged Maca, the wooden club with rows of razor sharp stone. Wielding it in two hands, he lets the warrior spirit of his people guide his strike. The sharp edge slices swiftly through the cloth armor and rips across the thing's stomach, black blood flows from the wound as the ugly thing falls over never to move again!
Huit moves and attacks O5, 5 + 10 =15 Hit Damage 10! DEAD
Tiamac the stranger to the village see's the battle erupt around him and feral smile spread across his face. He too lifts his maca He screams at the top of his lungs. "ZALTEC!!!!!" charging forward letting fury consume him, re rushes towards the closest creature and swings wildly over the creatures head!
Attack 8 +2 =10 Miss!

No more oversized arrows come from the trees, as whatever or whoever is hiding there and helping the villiagers seems to decide that discression is the better part of not being there when the pig monsters come looking for you.
Moving two diagonally to the Northwest, and one North. I'm pretty sure that's 20 Feet according to the math you gave me. If I did the math wrong, move me more or less as appropriate

The "Giant Archer" moves, as is evident by rustling in the bushes, to where the humanoids can't tell. One of the creatures blindly charges towards where the "Arrows" came from. It gets close but cannot find the archer.
Dhilian Hides 14 +14 =28 vs 20 Dhilian Hidden
In it's frustration it turns pulling an obsidian tipped javelin from it's back. The creature turns completely around and hurls a mighty throw, the missile whistles through the air, ripping into Tiamac's throat and exiting the side. Gasping, gurgling sounds escape the fierce warrior. his left hand reaches up covering his neck, staunching the blood to a degree. Somehow he remains standing!
Attack Natural "20" Critical Threat! 3 +15 -2(range increment) =16 HIT! Critical threat!
Stopping it's headlong charge to duck the maca of Tiamac the creature turns with it's own slamming it through Tiamac's stiff leather armor and into his leg! Blood pours from Tiamac, and yet his crazed battle cry to Zaltec keeps him on his feet.!
Attack 4 +15 =19 HIT Damage 4!
Ix-Tub-Tun again comes under attack, even though his eye's are still wide in shock at the ferocity of the attack. The spear again lashes out catching him in the chest, punching through the stiff cotton and coming out red. the same color that explodes in his vision, he nearly swoons.
Attack 4 +14 =18 Damage 7! IX 2/14
The two Creatures remain tangled in the plants, howling and roaring in fury, but the power of nature holds sway!
STR Checks 17 and 16 Fail!

Ix-Tub-Tun is not the most swift to react to battle, or to anything for that matter. Very methodical, very planned, and very slow, the Hishnashaper has twice been swung at before he even realizes what is going. The tears in his eyes turn red at the pain and blood as the spear stabs deeply into his body. He topples to the ground and staggers backwards away from the pig-faced attacker withdrawing as far as possible toward the other warriors with whom he has traveled with so far. As he moves he grasps for a small amulet of snakes scales. Two large scaled sewn together to form a pouch, stuffed with herbs, bird shells, and rare earth he prepaires to unleash his Hishna.

Ix-Tub-Tun finnaly realizes the mortal danger he is in and is swift to retreat, being carefull he moves quickly away from the spear wielding abomination, placing himself between the nearly dead Tiamac and the unhurt Huitz.

Huitzilopochtli is pleased as blood splashes over him as victory comes quickly. The Gods favor him, or so it seems, and the strange druid does not wait for any aid or the battle to come to him. Instead the man takes a deep breath, his tongue passing over a splattering of blood on his lip. The blood of his enemies taste good, and he shall have more!

Quickly, Huitzilopochtli switches his maca into his left hand, and with his right draws the shortspear off his back. He takes a few moments to aim and then hefts the spear through the air toward one of the pig men that are entangled in his trap!

Another oversized arrow flies out of the woods, accompanied by a rustling in the trees as the 'giant archer' continues to attack the pig man who has come to find him.

Huitzilopochtli the strange druid has proven the most effective so far. He reaches over his back, drawing his short spear he flicks it up over his shoulder. He grasps the spear, stepping forward he heaves it towards the pig-like creature. A true throw is easy as the beast is caught fast in the undergrowth. The spear flies true, and the razor sharp obsidian tip slides with ease deep into the creatures stomach, it quickly pale's but remains standing.
Attack 16 vs AF 14 Hit 7 Damage
Posting for WANNA_Bee
Tiamac is momentarily stunned by the blood loss, he grows weak and woozy. He refocuses himself. Then he brings his maca down in a screaming frenzy, the razor sharp chips of stone bite in through the collar bone and exposing to the air many vital organs and dropping the beast.
Attack 8 +18 =26 hit 9 Damage
Dhilian moves with un-canny grace through the undergrowth, but neither the brave warriors from Nixula or the pig-like creatures can pick him up again, there is a brief commotion in the foliage, no one is quite sure what happened but no arrow comes out.
Attack 1, Critical Failure Threat
Ref save DC 10 9 +3 =12 Pass not a critical fumble.
The creature that was attacking Ix-Tub-Tun cannot reach him yet but can tell Tiamac is faltering. Charging forward it attempts to spear him but the agile Kultakan will not be caught by something so simple as a spear, he turns his maca and parries the attack.
Attack 14 Miss


Infuriated by not being able to find the arrow throwing 'œGiant' in the woods, one beast turns and rushes back towards Tiamac, who will soon be pressed on two sides. Finally one of the ensnared beasts, reaches down and rips aside nature's grasping vines. Moveing with great care, it clears the mess approaching Huitz raising it's shield and preparing it's own spear!
