Thirst for power (Finished) (Knight Otu judging)

I´ll post later today. Still no input for Azaroth´s actions; he´ll move to the bottom of the stairs wile drawing the scimitar (his attack bonus <edit: I mean the attack bonus with the scimitar listed in his char sheet> is too low, by the way) and cast Mage armor on himself. If any of you knows his style of play better, please por so; I don´t know if he´d prefer to stay safer and cast Magic Missile.

“The windows?” Says one man. “But my wife is pregnant!”. Beamer has little time to discuss that, as he moves towards the stairs. There, he spots Draig fighting with two masked men, most likely the ones that set the place on fire, and he´s already wounded one of them while the rest of the arsonists and Azaroth run to join the fray. He readies to shoot, but accidentally hits the trigger and the bolt sinks in the ceiling.

[ooc: Draig hits one of the arsonist dealing 8 points of damage, while they miss. Azaroth moves down the stairs and cast Mage Armor on himself; Beamer appears on top of the stairs, and shoots at the wounded thug, but rolls a 2 and obviously fails. Banion still has to spend 5 rounds wearing his armor.

Notice that Beamer is on top of the stairs, so he´s not threatened by any enemy]

The fire rises like a hungry beast, devouring the tables and chairs, and spreading to the walks and decoration. It´s starting to get hot there, without adding the pitched battle among the flames. Draig proves his worth, this time siking the urgosh´s blade in the side of one of the arsonists, while Azaroth, taking advantage of the distraction Beamer provides with his crossbow, also manages to slide his scimitar through the thugh´s side, slashing a light wound. His opponent counterattacks in rage, but the warrior mage parries in time and only suffers a mere scratch.

[ooc: Sixth round of dressing for Banion. Draig makes another great attack and hits, dropping the thug. Azaroth´s scimitar and Beamer´s bolt also wound other one, but again he doesn´t drop so easily. The arsonists counter attack, one of them grazing Azaroth (4 damage), the other ones failing to penetrate Draig´s Mage armor.

The fire continues spreading]

"Get out!" Draig gutterally shouts at the arsonists, desperate to find an escape from the flames for both himself, and the other patrons of the inn. Turning to face the arsonist confronting Azaroth, he swings his Urgosh hoping to at least secure the safety of his injured companion.

This preparing before the battle thing would have worked better if everyone had done it... Banion thinks wryly as he struggles into his armor. I wonder if this is directed at us, or just at the innkeeper due to his guild woes.

Banion frantically fasten belts and secures the last parts of his armor, seeing how smoke starts to filter through the wooden planks in the floor and panic brews among the inn guests. Around the stairs, the fight becomes (even more) chaotic, as Draig ruches to help Azaroth with so bad luck that he stumbles upon him, making them lose several seconds while they get up. The arsonists, however, aren´t good fighters enough to take advantage of that, specially when the one that was about to sink his knife through Azaroth´s heart is hit in the throat by of one of Beamer´s crossbow bolts and fall to the floor, twitching and gasping for breath.

One of the last thugs, seeing that the way for the fight is not cut by the fire, goes for the door. As he reaches it, he lets out a yell of pain, as apparently someone who was watching there attacked him.

[ooc: Banion dressing woes finish in three more rounds. Meanwhile Draig and Azaroth roll ones attacking, partially made up by Beamer´s bolt, accurate enough to drop the wounded thug. The two arsonist fighting Draig aren´t much luckier, and also fail.

As you see in the map, the fire continues spreading]

Sweat dripping from his brow both from the heat of the fire and the exertion, Draig steps to the remaining arsonists, swinging his Urgosh and hoping to chase them out of the inn as well, to clear a safe path out.

Seeing the extent to which the flames have spread, Beamer fires a magic missle at the nearest wounded arsonist and then yells back down the hallway, "Everyone either get out the windows or get down here now!" There isn't time to hold all their hands. They better be smart enough to get out on their own. If there is a first floor window handy, he will yell at Azaroth to break it out. If not, he begins moving toward the south exit, avoiding the fire as much as possible.

OOC: Spells remaining: 5 0th level, 4 1st level.

Making up for his recent fumble, Draig jumps upon the nearest arsonist and cleaves his head in twain with a powerful urgosh blow, and nearly cuts the last remaining thug as he turns to flee, frightened by the dwarf´s display of power.

Meanwhile two greenish darts unerringly fly from Beamer´s hand and pierce the last thug´s heart. The man that was fighting him turns to the halfling, and even through the smoke and trembling air you can see how he greets you and disappears in the alley, out of sight. Meanwhile, Banion puts on the last pieces of armor, while the guests panic even more (if that´s possible), and run back and forth without knowing what to do and shouting that there´s fighting in the ground floor.

Since the fire now blocks Azaroth´s path, he sheathes his scimitar and picks a chair, ready to smash the nearest window with it.

[ooc: Draig scores a critical hit, killing one arsonist in the spot, and Beamer kills the one that was near the door. Azaroth spends the round preparing to break a window. Banion only has two rounds left of armor-dressing.

The last thugh tries to flee and is wounded by draig´s AoO.

There´s no need for more maps. There´s only one enemy left, not far from the “south” door]
