[Talarion]

Alright, I will take 2 new skills if I can? 1 Point into Tracking (+1 to Tailing/Tracking rolls (One of the two)) and 1 point into Evasion (+1 to dodge rolls)

Marcus grins, seeing Saddler go down and the Werewolf going down, he pulls out one more vial of Holy water and throws it directly at the Wolf.

[Krath]

Strike a fancy pose while everyone else kills the wolf.

[Dwarmin]

Friar Greenmoore intones "Strike it down now! A werewolf that is near dead is at its most dangerous!"

Friar Greenmoore tries to make a low wall of fire to prevent the werewolfs escape

[SeriousConcentrate]

Gotcha. Will update Marcus's Skills once the turn is finished.

Spoiler: INITIATIVE (click to show/hide)

Marcus: 4
Nazara: 3
Malleus: 6 (1)
Wymar: 6 (6)
Pierre: 1
Friar Greenmoore: 5
--
Greater Werewolf: 8
--
Micheal Ward: 6 (2)

GREATER WEREWOLF

(Attack Roll: 7. Malleus Defense Roll: 5+1. Werewolf Damage Roll: Major Success; 2d4 damage dealt. 4-1 damage dealt) The werewolf immediately turns and lungs for Malleus. It bulls him down and tries to bite his head off...

WYMAR SANE

(Attack Roll: 7. Werewolf Defense Roll: 8. Wymar loses 2 MP) The werewolf looks up and snarls as you cast your spell. It leaps away from Malleus, evading the blast of light.

MICHEAL WARD

(Attack Roll: 5. Werewolf Defense Roll: 3. Ward loses 1 MP. Ward Damage Roll: Massive Failure; Werewolf counters. Werewolf Attack Roll: Minor Success, 1d4 damage dealt. 3 damage dealt) It turns out the werewolf was targeting someone else, and charges into Micheal as he finishes reloading his pistol. It hits him low in the stomach with its shoulder and knocks him aside.

MALLEUS RAULAT

(Attack Roll: 7. Werewolf Defense Roll: 4. Malleus Attack Roll: Major Success; 2d4 damage dealt. 6 damage) You get to your feet and raise your axe. You'll not fall to a creature of the night! As it recovers from tackling the watchman, you cover the distance and swing your battleaxe. The blow is not fatal, but it is powerful enough to throw the creature to the ground, stunned.

FRIAR GREENMOORE

(Cast Roll: 6. Greenmoore loses 2 MP) You encircle the square with a wall of flame. No one is getting in or out until you end the spell.

MARCUS RAUST

(Attack Roll: 1. Werewolf Defense Roll: 2. Marcus loses 1 MP; Werewolf evades) You throw the water at the wolf at about the same time Malleus attacks it. The water hits him in the back and although he is merely annoyed by it, his body serves to shield the monster from your attack.

NAZARA

(Attack Roll: 6. Werewolf Defense Roll: 1. Nazara Damage Roll: Major Success; 2d4 damage dealt. 5 damage; kill) Yelling fiercely, you run over to the fallen werewolf and swing your warhammer in a low arc. It connects solidly with the side of its head, and there is a loud snap as its neck breaks. You have done it; the monster is dead.

PIERRE Dé GRASSI

(Pose Roll: 7+1 Sleep Bonus; last round, should've had it earlier but I forgot. -__-) You flourish your rapier and strike a fancy pose, stealing Nazara's thunder as she finishes off the werewolf. Somehow, you're gonna get the credit for this.

META

All right, we made it through the introductory mission. ^^ After another turn or two we'll be heading towards the castle proper. As a reward for defeating the first boss, everyone gets to choose one of the following as their reward from Aguemort:

5 HP
5 MP
New or Improved Weapon
New or Improved Subweapon
New Skill
Random Artifact

[Krath]

Improve my mighty Rapier.

[Talarion]

Improve my longsword.

[Dwarmin]

Friar Greenmoore lets the wall fire burn down to nothing. He walks over, and looks down upon the bisected body of Elizabeth Saddler and sighs, placing a hand over her eyes.

"A pity she will soon learn the forces of Hell will torment her all the more for allying with them...what a waste of potential..."

His eyes are drawn to a small black bag she was carrying, laying by her side. No doubt an artifact of some sort she was unable to use before being struck down...Greenmoore can feel some power within, but what it could be, he cannot tell. The tools of the enemy are often a great boon in the right hands.
He reaches for it tentatively...

Friar Greenmoore takes a random artifact.
Edit: Oh yeah, cancel the ring of fire spell too!

OOC: Psh, weapons and skills. I'll take the MYSTERY BOX!

[Darvi]

Jump on the sword improving bandwagon.

[Ahra]

the random artifact:D

[Dwarmin]

Friar Greenmoore weighed the bag carefully. He didn't want to inadvertantly set off some magical trap set by the late Saddler witch...to his surprise he felt more than one artifact within! The kinght Malleus was also looking curiously at it, so Greenmoore offered to share what he had found...

[Ze Spy]

Doh ho ho

New skill : "Blitzkrieg : +2 to Movement rolls, -1 to Tailing rolls"

Please tell me that "Movement" also includes speed

[SeriousConcentrate]

GENERAL

The group is led back to the town hall the next day, where they meet with Micheal Ward. "Thank you for all your help, and for going above and beyond the call of duty, Nazara," he says. "I'm prepared to give you whatever reward we can." Marcus, Wymar, and Pierre ask for improvements to their weapons. Friar Greenmoore asks if he and Malleus can keep the relics they took from Elizabeth's body. Nazara asks for special training. Micheal nods to the three. "Visit our blacksmith. I'll give you a missive to let him know why you're there." To Greenmoore and Malleus, he says, "that's a good idea. I'd prefer those stones be as far from Aguemort as possible." To Nazara, he hands over a parchment. "If you train in this way, you'll become faster, but it'll be harder for you to switch direction at will."

Every splits up to go about their tasks, with Marcus, Wymar, and Pierre heading for William Hayes's forge. He takes the missive and reads it. "Aye, I can help out the saviors of our town. What d'you want done with your blades? I can sharpen them or balance them." (Sharp = +1 damage, Balance = +1 Accuracy)

Greenmoore and Malleus return to the inn to study the relics in further depth. Eventually they discover their purposes: One is similar to a rosary, with black beads streaked with deep red. This relic absorbs the blood of its owner in exchange for greater magic output. (Owner of the Blood Rosary can exchange HP for additional damage when using a Subweapon at the rate of 1 = 1. You have to sacrifice the blood first, though, so if the attack misses...) The other is a small figurine. It is utterly unremarkable now, but the pair are able to divine its intent. (The Wax Doll will absorb the first hit the owner takes in battle, as long as it's not a killing blow. Too bad for Elizabeth.)

Nazara heads home to train.

META

Movement covers such things as sprinting, platforming, and climbing. It's a broad category. I should mention, however, that avoiding traps and sudden attacks is Sensing Danger, which is what Wymar has; since everyone else has to choose what they get this round, you can change your mind if you want something else. Once all of that's settled, we'll be moving on.

[Ze Spy]

Confirmed, someone has to be able to cross big Distances in a short time

[Dwarmin]

Friar Greenmoore studies both items intensely. One seems to be a wax figure of an ancient fertility Goddess, possibly ancient Ethopian. He can feel a powerful energy within-on close inspection, this power seems defensive in nature, like a loving mother sheltering her young. "Such an item would be of use to anyone in our line of work...I don't like to rely on such trinkets, though."

He turns toward the dark red rosary and examines it in turn. As he feared, it's not an earthly material it's made of-it looks like obsidian to the untrained eye, but one can tell it's not something that came from our Earth. It's the way the material seems to subtly swell like a swamp leech as it sucks in moisture from its enviroment that worries him...it's like touching a living thing.

He can sense the spirit trapped within..not exactly evil, but ancient and very, very hungry. And of course, a massive store of hidden power, waiting for use.
He guesses that the spirit is propiated with blood sacrifice...but it's not the worst thing the friar has sacrificed...
He picks it up gingerly and stores it away from his skin.

Friar Greenmoore claims the blood rosary

Later, speaking to Wymar, he remembers to ask him if he managed to grab that book of fire the saddler woman was using...

OOC: Hmm, I could take the wax doll, but if all goes well, I shouldnt be hit anyway, right?
I should be able to do some really overpowered fire damage with this.

Ahra, are you okay with taking the tanking trinket? lol warcraft memories...

[Talarion]

Marcus looks down at his blade, then shakes his head slightly. "I'm sorry, I'm happy with my blade the way it is. Sorry, again." He walked out, and headed back to Michael, slightly ashamed. "Er, Mr Ward? I'm sorry, but I'd like to request a training method. I should've been able to reach the Werewolf much before it reached Aguemort... I'd like to request a way of moving faster, to help me in my hunt. Or, rather than moving faster, moving more efficiently. Being able to cross any terrain or obstacle as quickly as possible. Can you help?"

(New Skill instead, if I may; Parkour: +1 to movement rolls)
