(Thanks to Joe for the advice on going all code on your asses. I have also taken Hars and Cain off of the map, but you know where you are...roughly)

As Hars reaches the top of the keep and has a look around for a place to tie up his rope, he has a touch of vertigo and his eyes go dark. But when he comes out of it, he sees that the wall of the keep could support a rope and his weight. Although the closest he can tie it up only leaves 35 foot of rope to fall through the gap. But he ties the rope up anyway (on C19) and now holds it in his hands, ready to throw it down the hole if he wishes to.

Grashuk moves to a position where he flanks the doors with Daelos. The elf nods and gives a wry smile to the bugbear, as he holds a dagger in both of his hands.  

[SporkMaster5000]

Circling closer to the keep, Gerash uses ghost sound to signal the two on top of the building, "Whenever you two want to start, we're waiting."

((move 3 se, 4 e))  

[Arc Vembris]

Hars, still in the guise of a black-clad elfmaiden, for posterity's sake, tosses the rope down and rappel the length allowed. Once there she will
a) swing towards something soft-looking
b) land on something higher up that can support her weight
c) attempt to reach the interior wall and descend from there

((Whichever is most relevant))
Stealth is not a concern for Hars, she wants their attention.  

[joe-dude667]

As soon as he got Gerash's signal, Cain let the dagger fly from his hand. Unfortunately targets are much harder to hit from above, the blade thudding into the floor in front of the goon. It was fine, that was just a warning shot. A mere scare tactic.

Now was the fun part...

[[Evidently, the dice roller doesn't want me throwing knifes. =S 9 vs AC. I'm guessing the fight is going to start now, so Init =18.]]  

[Vorastrix]

seeing everyone else get into position, Pelloth would move himself a bit closer aswell, so he can be ready to fight when needed.

Pelloth heads on over a bit closer to the keep. When he reaches his desired position he hears the guard inside shouting, "INTRUDER!"

That is because...

Hars had begun her rappel down the rope when Cains knife flew past her head, only missing her because she swung to the side. '"INTRUDER!"' Seeing a soft thing to land on, Hars used her momentum to swing towards the shouting guard. She let go, drew her blade as she flew through the air, and landed on her prey driving her sword through his gut killing him (a la Altair).

Everyone who hasn't already Roll Initiative!

(I have changed the G's in BIGKEEP to K's to avoid confusion with the guards. Cain you are at E17 but 50' up)  

[SporkMaster5000]

((I think i should be closer after moving closer.))

((I think i should be closer after moving closer.))

Oops! Yeah lol, it looks like I just ignored you razz , I will adjust shortly.

Initiative Order
1. Hars
2. Pelloth (Initiative rolled by me)
3. Gerash
4. Cain
5. Humans
6. Grashuk
7. Daelos

Everyone apart from slow old Grashuk (and crit fail Daelos) may post!  

[Vorastrix]

((sheesh, someone is eager XD))

seeing Hars in distress, Pelloth pauses only to curse his target before taking out his rod and unleashing his fury. His target greatly damaged, he strides forth, wrapping himself in the void.

Quote:

Minor: Curse G1

Major: 26 v Will (Crit) 27 dmg

Move: 3 E to shadowalk, and gain concielment

 

[SporkMaster5000]

Gerash waits patiently until someone comes out of the building, itching for his companions to force the fight out into the open.

((i'll delay until someone exits the building and act immediately after the target has presented itself.))  

[Arc Vembris]

Hars is not in distress(she left dat dress in her backpack). With a spin she draws her second blade and plunges it into the guard next to her.

((Shift 1 N, Dual Strike on G4 @ 30 & 8 damage, @17 & 13 damage))
((G4 is marked))  

[joe-dude667]

Still in the darkness of above, Cain decided to wait until he could get one of them to himself. Rushing into a room full of armed men by himself was not his idea of a good plan. Instead he stayed in his little hiding place, pulling out his sword as he grabbed the symbol around his neck.

"My Lord, what about those two?" He whispered to the neck piece. "I think they deserve the gift of Your presence."

Quote:

Minor:
Pull out sword.

Standard:
Shared Madness vs G1:
+7 [4wis, 2lvl, 1enh]vsWill=26
1d10+5=6 damage and other G4 also takes that damage.

Initiative Order
1. Hars 24hp, marked by G4, marking G4
2. Pelloth has concealment (Initiative rolled by me)
3. Cain
4. Humans G1 has 33 damage, is cursed by Pelloth and is bloodied, G2, G3, G4 has 14 damage, is marked by Hars and is marking Hars
5. Gerash Initiative
6. Grashuk
7. Daelos

Hars does indeed plunge her sword into the belly of the guard next to her, who lets out a yelp of pain.

As Pelloth lays a curse on the nearest guard and strides forward, he also deals significant damage to the human, causing blood to explode out of his ears.

Cain, perched in his lofty vantage point, has a good view of the battle beginning. He then draws upon the maddening power of his Deity to cause two of the guards to hold their heads in pain.

The humans finally organise themselves, after the confusion of an ambush in their camp. The one in the top corner, doesn't have time to pick up his shield, so instead he just draws his longsword and not one to ignore a mark, he attacks Hars. He surprises himself by connected and slashing Hars' arm. He looks around and gulps as he realises he is cornered. The guard behind Hars, sees the chance for a flank and stepping over his fallen comrade, he lays into Hars from behind. He too makes a dent in Hars beautiful elvish skin with his human blade. The other uninjured one draws his weapon, takes his shield off his back and then straps it to his arm. The severely injured one shouts, "They're above us! I'm going for the Captain!" And with that he makes a dash outside, pushing the broken doors out of his way as he goes...bad idea. He only has time to draw his sword before he undoubtedly will be slain, since...

Gerash and Grashuk may go!  

[SporkMaster5000]

Gerash laughs malevolently as the soldier steps into the doorway. Striding forward he raises his orb to summon the familiar shards of force to tear at the man, "Like lambs to the slaughter."

((move 2 north, 1 ne, then cloud of daggers G1, 25vs ref, 9 force damage and 4 to anyone who starts in that square or enters it.))
