Round 6: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

The half-elf's arcane blasts catch a few glances from the pack of Powder Kegs in the alcove. One of them breaks loose, launching an arrow at Velasco which narrowly misses him. Her eyes go wide as she steps into the gateway, noticing Brandys' presence at the now-missing door to the prison. "They're busting out!" she cries out in Grystok.

The twin-blade Powder Keg that Alerio had previously tossed back into the tower now pursues him into the shack, a determined look on her face as she catches up.

The lieutenant raps his shield once more as he advances for the first time into the fray. With the combined efforts of the gangers around him, they wall the lupine Josie into the corner. He lashes out from behind his shield, the flail heads cracking painfully across the Amkharan's shoulder and back.

Go: Brandys, Josie
Mechanics
Velasco: stands, hits, action points, misses.

Pohaku: moves, hits and bloodies and prones.

Powder Keg 9: Longbow attacks Velasco, 11 vs AC = miss, moves.

Brandys' eyes flick across the field in front of him, catching on the unknown figure engaged with the slaver, then harden as they snap to the Imardanian in front of him. One, gate, two-three, stairs, four, here. Flail and shield. Surprise lost.

His body acts, the pain of the splintered wood and the blow from the flail sending his blood surging through his veins. He steps forward, into the slaver in front of him, throwing a jab with one fist as his other hand reaches out to grab and bind the man's weapon.

Round 6: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

As Brandys latches onto the slaver, the man tries desperately to free himself but the tavernkeeper's grip is like a manacle.

Down in the alcove, the Powder Kegs continue to lay into Josie and Hadrurus, though the Unfettered agents are able to shrug off the pain.

Along the southern battlement, the archer stands and releases an arrow towards Pohaku who narrowly steps aside it.

Go: Samiira

Brandys: shifts, hits, grabs, marks.

Powder Keg 13: attempts escape, Athletics 7 vs Fort = fail. Attempts escape again, Athletics 17 vs Fort = fail.

Round 6: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Another arrow slams into Velasco, the shaft jutting out from his arm as he falls once more to the roof.

One Powder Keg manages to get past Hadrurus' guard, surrounding him, before delivering a crushing blow with a mace.

Another man breaks from the alcove fray toward the shack that Alerio had dashed into. He throws the door open, coming face to face with the Talon and the woman behind. Dropping his bow, he throws himself at Alerio, wrestling him to a halt for now.

Round 7: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

The Talon's swing sends his assailant to the tile floor of the shack, and her malicious frown is replaced with one of pain and worry as she is almost overcome with her wounds.

In the enclosure (hardly enclosed any longer): a bloodier scene. Garvelli and several other prisoners surge from the doorway, bearing down on the two Powder Kegs with slivers of wood or their bare fists, while others lurch past to get clear. In the ensuing melee, three of the prisoners are sent to the mud, their clothes blooming red with blade wounds. And yet, one prisoner breaks free from the tangle, rushing toward the stairs. He spots Samiira warily as he begins his ascent.

Go: Pohaku, Velasco
Mechanics
Hadrurus: buffs, second winds, shifts.

Alerio: sustains, hits and prones, fails to escape.

Powder Keg 15: shifts.

Garvelli: shifts, attacks PK13, nat 1.

Prisoners: Prisoners 1, 6, 12, 14 move and miss. Prisoners 5, 9, 16 run and are killed by PK7. Prisoner 7 breaks free and double-moves. The rest stay.

Round 7: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

The archer by the gates to the enclosure yells out as she witnesses the surge of prisoners erupt from the gaol. She drops her bow, reaching for a handaxe as she moves to cut off the stairs as a form of escape.

Samiira crosses blades with her target once more, though can't parry the heavy chop of his scimitar. It pierces the scavenged jacket she'd thrown over herself, leaving a nasty wound.

In the shack, Alerio is able to shrug off the feeble efforts of the woman near death. Outside, despite fully surrounding Josie, the lieutenant finds the Amkharan is yet able to evade the swing of his flail.

Go: Brandys, Josie
Mechanics
Velasco: fails death saving throw (1/3).

Pohaku: changes form, misses, action points, misses.

Powder Keg 9: drops bow, takes out handaxe, moves.

Powder Keg 11: attacks Samiira, 21 vs AC = hit for 11 damage.

Powder Keg 14: stands, attacks Alerio, 12 vs AC = miss.

Powder Keg Lieutenant: Vexing Teamwork on Josie, 21 vs AC = miss.

A grimace passes over Brandys' face, as he catches a glimpse of the other slaver cutting down a trio of prisoners. Steel yourself, Bran.
The momentary lapse unbalances him, and his follow up attack is sloppy as a result. Taking a heartbeat to re-center, he glowers at the other man, watching his every move for an opening to strike again.

Round 7: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

In the enclosure, the two Powder Kegs continue to assault the prisoners, lashing at them left and right with blade and flail.

In the alcove, Josie catches a brutal slice into her hind leg, but Alerio's blessings stave off most of the bite.

Atop the roof, the archer retreats to the tower, loosing another arrow at the Okani. It takes him in the shoulder, its pain hardly registering amidst the other arrow wounds sprouting from him.

Go: Samiira
Mechanics
Josie: takes ongoing damage (reduced to 0), hits and bloodies, fails save x2.

Brandys: shifts, misses, marks.

Powder Keg 13: shifts, provokes Combat Challenge from Brandys, 16 vs AC = miss. Attacks Brandys, 17 vs AC = hit for 15 damage, marking Brandys.

After taking a heavy hit from the powder keg, Samiira takes a moment to pop the cork off a vial of poison, slickening her dagger with the substance. Seeing an opening, she drives the dagger into the man. Pulling it free, the poison already begins to take a hold of the man. He drops to the ground convulsing, a foam forming around his mouth.

Needing a moment to catch her breath, Samiira throws a small pouch to the floor which explodes creating a large cloud of smoke which she appears to disappear within.

Mechanics
Minor: Apply Bloodroot Poison (heroic tier) to dagger.

Standard: Poisoned Dagger on PK11, 30 vs AC = hit for 13 damage, plus 6 extra poison damage, and is dazed (save ends).

PK11 is killed if this brings them to 10 hp or lower.

[1d20+13]=17+13=30[1d4+6]=3+6=9[1d8]=4

Assuming they are dead,

Round 7: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Brandys sees one figure atop the tower plunge their dagger into their enemy, who slumps to the ground, before the figure disappears in a cloud of smoke.

In the alcove, one of the Powder Keg maneuvers behind Hadrurus, slamming his mace down on the former gladiator's bronze helm. The pain radiates through his entire skull but he is able to fight through it.

The archer wrestling Alerio lets out a shout and chops wildly at the Talon, though the mad assault ends with nothing but a single nick.

Go: Hadrurus, Alerio

Round 8: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Alerio's flail catches the weakened Powder Keg in the chest, her fury finally dispatched. Outside, the gladiator Hadrurus continues to hold the line. His emboldened swing finds the neck a flagging assailant, bringing their numbers closer to even.

In the enclosure, the disjointed mob of prisoners continue to rout. Several more surge out into the rainy night — two hacked down by sword while a third finds a readied arrow as they try to make for the main grounds.

However, the Powder Kegs can hardly contain the mob of over two dozen, as several more slip past their reach. From inside the gaol comes a hail of rocks and wood scraps and the odd punch. The ganger facing off against Brandys grunts as a projectile catches him in the back of the head. "Give us a fucking hand in here!" he calls out in Grystok toward the main grounds.

Go: Velasco, Pohaku
Mechanics
Alerio: sustains, hits and kills, fails to escape.

Hadrurus: regenerates, heals and buffs x2, hits and kills.

Prisoners: Garvelli misses, Powder Keg 8 hits and downs a fleeing prisoner, 2 more are cut down. The rest move up. Powder Keg 13 is hit by two rocks (one crit!) for a total of 8 damage.

Excluding Brandys, 22 of 28 yet remain.

Round 8: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Pohaku lumbers across the roof of the shack, bringing his halberd to bear at one of the Powder Kegs beneath, nearly beheading the man who slumps to the mud. The lieutenant seems to hear the request for help from an ally in the enclosure, and in return, barks out in a thick Imardanian brogue: "Deal with it yourself!" He turns back to Josie, missing a vital opportunity, before shouting once more in Imardanian to the men around him.

Inside the enclosure, one of the Powder Kegs dives for the stairs, dislodging one of the prisoners climbing up it and sending them back to the ground.

Go: Brandys, Josie
Mechanics
Velasco: fails death save, 2/3.

Pohaku: moves, balances, charges, hits with Life-Ending Strike 16 vs AC for 33 damage and kills.

Powder Keg 9: shifts, Bull Rush on Prisoner 7, hit and pushed down to enclosure.

Brandys once again moves in with a strike and a grab against the slaver, using the pressure between himself and the prisoners beyond the door to force an opening.
Latching onto the man, Brandys braces himself, then pulls, hauling him away from the crowd of prisoners, towards the southern wall of the enclosure.
Glancing up the wall, he barks into the newly formed cloud of smoke: "If you are an ally, cast down a blade! Help us!" I pray you are. If not, we may truly be doomed.

Round 8: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Brandys bodily drives the Powder Keg into the corner of the enclosure, however the maneuver leaves him open to a passing blade and mace. Another prisoner is hacked down as the offending Powder Keg moves to block off their exit from the gaol.

In the enclosure, the archer plaguing Pohaku makes a mad dash along the southern battlement, gaining a new angle on those below. Josie is caught on her flank from a blade, though only a shallow cut.
Samiira
As the man in the enclosure calls up to your hidden form, you narrow your eyes at him in the glimpses of lightning and pale moonlight.

He's shirtless and dirty, but there's no mistake — this is the same greying visage of the bartender of the Hawk & Halcyon, a backwater tavern a few day's ride south of Vyridis. You don't recall his name, though you do remember the outpost was a recent connection made in the growing network of Unfettered fronts across the region.


Go: Samiira
Mechanics
Josie: hits, fails save x2

Brandys: hits and grabs and marks, moves and drags. Eats OA from PK 7, 17 vs AC = hit for 10 damage, bloodying him.

Powder Keg 13: attacks Brandys, 15 vs AC = hit for 6 damage.

Powder Keg 18: double-runs.

Powder Keg 7: shifts, hits and downs Prisoner 2. 21 / 28 remain.

Powder Keg 6: attacks Josie, 27 vs AC = hit for 10->5 damage.

Still shrouded in smoke, Samiira stops for a moment to catch her breath. Seeing the prisoner approach, she notices that he seems somewhat familiar to her.

"Here!" She say says, grabbing the sword of one of the fallen powder kegs and tossing it down into the enclosure.

The tossed sword pierces the mud beside Brandys and his foe.

In the alcove scrap, the Powder Kegs continue their onslaught, though Alerio's distracting winds hamper their efforts.

Growing frustrated, Alerio whirls his flail into another storm-infused tempest, striking the Powder Keg with great force. The winds and force of thunder loosen his grip as he stumbles backward, and the Talon finally frees himself. I will be shackled no further.

Round 9: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

In the enclosure, the prisoners rally with the successful advance of Brandys. A few join him in the corner, while others attempt to pummel the Powder Keg on the stairs. While Garvelli slips past the one guarding the doorway, others inside throw a volley of debris at the woman. A trio make a break for it, but she spins and twirls with her twin blades, allowing none past alive.

Go: Pohaku, Velasco
Mechanics
Alerio: sustains, hits and slides, moves, readies immediate action.

Hadrurus: regenerations, shifts, crits and bloodies and debuffs.

Prisoners: Garvelli shifts, misses. 3 prisoners attack PK9, 1 hit, 1 crit, for 6 damage. 3 prisoners attack PK13, miss. Prisoners inside throw shit at PK7, 1 hit for 1 damage. 3 flee, are cut down by PK7. 18 / 28 remain.

Round 9: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

As Pohaku's spirit falters, the lieutenant still struggles against Alerio's winds. He brings his flail down in a crippling arc, but it slaps the mud mere inches from Josie's haunch.

Inside the enclosure, one of the Powder Kegs manages to gain a position on the stairs, successfully holding them off from any further fleeing prisoners.

Go: Josie, Brandys
Mechanics
Velasco: saves, no change.

Pohaku: moves and hops down, critical miss.

Powder Keg 9: shifts, total defense.

Powder Keg Lieutenant: Vexing Teamwork vs Josie, 18 vs AC = miss.

Brandys' eyes flick to the blade as it pierces the earth and, with the hand not holding the foe before him, he reaches out and grasps the handle, pulling it free of the muck with a single, utilitarian swipe to clear the worst of the grime from it.
Newly armed, the weight of the blade familiar in his hand, the barkeep aims a slash at the slavers legs, trying to hamper his movement and drive him into the ground in one movement, fluid from years of practice.
Fortune smiles once more, all is not lost. "Many thanks, stranger!"

Round 9: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

In the enclosure, Brandys scores a gruesome slash on his enemy's legs. In response, the man shouts in pain, bringing his flail to bear on the four of you surrounding him. The spiked tip catches your fellow prisoners in the face, head, and neck, while you narrowly escape from a similar fate thanks to a weak parry. The three beside you fall to the mud, and you are left alone with the man as he maneuvers beside you, limping.

Another Powder Keg tries to resist the tide of prisoners and raise the broken door, but their combined efforts stymie her efforts.

In the alcove, the archer from the battlements gracefulls lands atop the roof, making her way over to the eave above you all. She fires an arrow through Alerio's whipping winds, catching him in the back of his shoulder.

Go: Samiira
Mechanics
Brandys: picks up sword, hits and slows and bloodies.

Josie: hits PK 12 and bloodies, fails, saves.

Powder Keg 13: Stands, cleave Prisoner 15, crits, kills 3 prisoners, cleaves Brandys for 5 damage, (mark punishment, Brandys rolls an MBA... 13 vs AC = miss). 15 / 28 prisoners remain.

Powder Keg 18: moves and Hops Down, Balances, Longbow attacks Alerio, 24 vs AC = hit for 14->9 damage.

Powder Keg 7: Bull Rushes Prisoner, 7 vs Fort = miss.

Powder Keg 6: attacks Josie, 20 vs AC = miss.

Samiira doesn't reply in response to Brandys' thanks, with work still to do she instead silently makes her way down the stairs towards their base where another powder keg is engaged fighting with some more of the escaped prisoners. Coming up behind them, Samiira attempts to catch them unaware and plunge her blade into the outlaw's back.

Round 9: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Samiira's assault does not go unnoticed, but it does go unhindered as she drives her blade into the back of the bowless archer before her.

In the alcove, one of the Powder Kegs takes aim at Alerio, bringing his mace down hard on the Talon. At the same time, the Powder Keg who had previously grappled with Alerio now drives his handaxe wildly into Hadrurus's side, biting through a gap in his armor.

Alerio whirls another cyclone with his tempestuous flail, landing a powerful blow that sends the Keg skidding across the dirt. The winds howl and the thunder roars, affording his allies a moment to reposition in the divine storm. His eyes notice the slumped shadow of his ally on the far roof, and the Talon clenches his fist. With the gods as my witness, you will not fall today. Taking a risk, he starts toward Velasco.

Round 10: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

Hadrurus continues to exchange blows with the slavers, while Alerio lands a singular strike on one of them. Shrugging off the errant shove of another Powder Keg, Alerio breaks from the pack, leaving a somewhat disengaged scene behind him thanks to his whirling cyclones.

In the enclosure, one prisoner attempts to advance up the stairs while the Powder Keg reels from Samiira's onslaught, though finds no opportunity. Two more abandon their attempts, instead rallying with Brandys. One of them steadies the tavernkeeper who wrestles with the Powder Keg in the mud, while the other claps on Brandys' back in a show of support.

Go: Pohaku, Velasco
Mechanics
Hadrurus: regenerates, shifts, hits and debuffs.

Alerio: sustains, hits and prones and slides, slides x3 allies, moves, takes OA from PK16, 27 vs AC = hit for 4->0 damage.

Prisoners: 2 converge on Brandys and attempt Medicine check Second Wind - 9 (fail), 16 (pass). Brandys' Second Wind is used, granting no defense bonuses but gaining him 10 HP. 1 flanks PK9, critical miss. Gaoled prisoners RBA PK7, 2 hits for 4 damage total. Garvelli MBAs her too, miss.

A peal of thunder sounds out across the coast, echoing off the brick walls of the seafort. Atop the stone gaol's rooftop, a sprawled-out figure lays supine — tattered bandages soaked through by the rain, wet eyes unmoving toward the great black sky. Beside him, a translucent crow pecks desperately at the figure's cheek, cawing sharply in a strange cant. In the figure's rigid grasp, an intricate blade pulses a weak, violet color, a soft hum emanating from it.
Velasco
"Damnit, kid," comes the voice of Geral in your father's blade. He sounds different. Injured. Angry. "I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you."

The pain in your chest and shoulder fades, the sensation already growing difficult to remember. The ring of blades clashing and shouts of men dying sound so far from you, as if hearing them from down a long, long hall. Even the feel of the rain on your bandaged skin feels dull, the warmth of each drop no longer distinguishable. The peck of Raine at your cheek is like a metronome, ticking and tocking as you slip further and further away.

Your last moments are of a growing and all-consuming silence. You think of his face — tawny, freckled, and smiling, like when you first saw him. And then, nothing.
OOC
RIP Velasco :(

He was an impulsive, troubled, and dramatic young gutter-rat, and yet he died fighting for his friends, the innocent, and for his own redemption.

Thanks to DIO for making him a part of our story here. He will be remembered by us and by the Unfettered.

Round 10: Assailing the Sailor Slavers

With the cyclones breaking apart the brutal melee for a moment, the grizzled Powder Keg takes a guarded step back from the freed lupine, instead racing after the Talon. The older man's swing is dampened by the winds, but it still catches Alerio off-guard.

In the enclosure, the Keg on the stairs turns to face Samiira, swinging a handaxe at her — though it is easily swatted aside by the dual-wielder.

Go: Brandys, Josie
Mechanics
Velasco: fails death saving throw (3/3), dies.

Pohaku: moves, hits, bloodies, buffs.

Powder Keg 9: Handaxe attacks Samiira, 17 vs AC = miss.

Powder Keg Lieutenant: shifts, charge Alerio, 27 vs AC = hit for 5->0 damage, marking and slowing him TENT.

Map Info
Heights are listed on the map in feet.

Walls & Battlements: Generally 20' tall. The battlement along the front entrance and east wall are in rough shape, and will require an Acrobatics check to cross. The walls can be climbed, but being slick with rain you will face a challenging DC.

Towers: Generally 25' tall, except for the south-western one that is 35' tall (plus an even higher watchtower on it)

Grounds & Enclosure: The fort's grounds are packed dirt, sodden with rain but otherwise traversable as normal.

Stairs: There are stairs in the northwest, leading from the enclosure to the western tower.

Buildings: Heights as listed. The three buildings have sloped rooves and will require a DC 10 Acrobatics check to cross their peak, or an DC 10 Athletics check to climb over at half speed.
Enemy Info
Powder Kegs: A ragtag band of Imardanian navy deserters, Borstidian pirates, Grystoki slavers & raiders. They seem to be moderately armed, favoring jack of plate, longswords, axes, and bows. The higher-ranking members have been seen to carry firearms.

Brandys smiles a weary, thankful smile at the prisoners that come to his aid, his face grim. His heart aches for all the lives lost, his bones ache from the strain of combat, and he just wants this all to be done. His eyes harden, his focus coming down to a razor edge. There. He acts, seizing the opening and grabbing the slaver in his free hand, and going for a vicious stab with his borrowed blade.
Pulling the blade free as he drops the man to the ground, he spots the pistol the now-dead man carried. How fortunate we are, that he did not use it. He thinks, reaching down to relieve it of its previous owner. Glancing at the two beside him, he starts to walk towards the bottom of the stairs. "Take his flail and shield and go to Garvelli's aid now. I will go greet our potential ally."
Mechanics
Standard: Grappling Strike vs PK13
Attack: [1d20+9]=20+9=29 vs AC, Critical Hit!

Josie races towards the nearest of the unengaged powder kegs, just as she spots Velasco take his last breaths on the roof across the courtyard. The sight of her companion causes her to lose focus and, in a moment of grief and anger, her wolf form fades away. "Velasco!" she shouts in vain, as the man falls lifeless before her eyes. Grabbing some of the pins from her hair, she haphazardly throws them behind her at the pursuing raiders.

Mechanics
Move Action: move to (Y, 27)

Minor Action: drop beast form, shifting to (X, 28) as I do

Standard Action: Thorn Spray centered on (AA, 27). This does not provoke OA.

Attack vs Powder Keg 16: [1d20+8]=11+8=19 vs Fort = hit?
Attack vs Powder Keg 18: 9[1d20+8]=10+8=18 vs Fort = hit?
Hit: [1d6+4]=1+4=5 damage, and each target takes a -5 penalty to all defenses until end of my next turn.

Save vs no shift: [1d20]=9 = fail

Round 10: Assailing the Sailor Slavers
Brandys
You pick up the flintlock pistol and shake off the mud, finding beneath it a worn but well-maintained firearm. When this item is equipped as a waist item slot, you gain the following encounter power:

Flintlock Shot

Range 10 (Can extend to 20 but lose the reroll)
As an standard action, make one RBA against an enemy. Roll your attack roll one additional time, using the best result. On a hit you deal 1d10+6 damage.

This power only recharges upon rest if you are carrying a firing kit.

Josie's flurry of projectile weapons causes the many Powder Kegs to flinch at the sudden assault. On the rooftop, the archer repositions after her arrow is knocked off course from Alerio's winds. Another of the enemies gains on Josie, sliding around her flank and nicking her side with a well-placed sword sweep.

Inside the enclosure, the Powder Keg guarding the goal manages to body slam one of the prisoners back inside and out of the doorway. She latches onto the displaced door, lifting it off the ground, while barking over at her shoulder in Imardanian what can only be a request for help. Near Brandys, the other two prisoners give him a nod of deference as the barkeep strides past them.

Go: Samiira
Mechanics
Brandys: crits and kills, picks up pistol, moves.

Josie: moves, shifts and changes form, hits 4x and bloodies 2x and debuffs.

Powder Keg 18: Longbow attacks Alerio, 11 vs AC = miss, moves.

Powder Keg 7: Bull Rush on Prisoner, 21 vs Fort = hit, shifts, grabs broken door.

Powder Keg 6: moves, charges Josie, 27 vs AC = hit for 7->2 damage and procs a free shift.

Samiira attacks the powderkeg beneath her on the stairs once more. She finds her mark yet again and as she pulls her sword out of the woman's chest, she gives her a slight push to the side sending the defeated powderkeg falling to the enclosure floor. She lands in the mud, already dead, as Samiira descends the stairs and starts towards the slaver holding back the prisoners still inside.

"You're from the Hawk & Halcyon, no?" She asks the man she recognises as she passes him on the stairs.
Mechanics
Standard: MBA on PK9, 23 vs AC = hit for 15 damage, 10 or less HP remains, PK9 is killed.
