Character Names:Players
Kamahl of Krosa:Chris (Please Pick a color for your IC Speaking)
Nawtshure of Yhet:John (Pick a color)

(All In Character Talking on my part will be in dark red)
Backstory- You all are traveling along with a small merchant caravan inside the Kingdom of Riam. Riam is a small kingdom most of which is in the Riam Desert. The Kingdom's patron god is Pelor, he who grows crops and gives light. You have been traveling for a day and a half now, and just recently, you stopped by a lake in the northern part of the Kabral Canyon. The lake empties into a small hole at the edge of the Canyon, and you hear the roaring of echoing splashes emanating from the opening in the wall. Its you two, an armed guard and the Merchant, Dwane Loak.

At the moment, you are in a rather green area of the cavern, bushes and small trees surround the lake. Nawtshure hears a noise coming from a small bush about forty feet from were he is standing, Kamahl being right next to him.

Guess I'll roll a listen. (+5)13
And a spot. (+8)21
The rolls are with the plus's gained from my hawk that is perched on my shoulder. If I am able to, I'll draw my crossbow. I'll wait to see what happens from here.

You both can see the boot of a man just under the bush, and he seems to move his hand towards another man. Three other men wearing dark leather armor are hiding behind a rather large bush 10 feet from him, one is pulling the bolt back on a heavy crossbow.

:Text-Map:
You to the Lone Man in Bush
40 ft

From him to the other three 10 ft, same 40 ft from you two.

"Over there, behind the bushes!" I say, as I gesturing at the man with the crossbow. I start walking foward while muttering words in a muddy-sounding language, all the while making rapid hand movements with both hands. I point my finger at the crossbow-wielder and make a huge, teethy, white smile as an icy-blue ring appears on my fingertip, blowing my hair back in a crazy twist as light blue ice shards mingle together with night black hair for only a moment, and then it blasts off towards the man that could mean harm to me and those I am protecting.

The one with the crossbow will get a smack with a ray of frost.
To hit(ranged touch attack)-15+3=18
Damage(1d3)=3

I moved within 25 feet of him and then let my attack go wild.

(( Not too bad on the rolls if I do say so myself. Do I get and bonus to damage when I am using ray of frost? I wish I had area spells. ))

[GM_Carrion_Humanoid]

((I don't believe so))

The shards of ice hit the mans left leg, icing it over as he almost falls but rests on his knee. You see the lone man behind the bush yell in some Gutterish language as he swings his longsword in your direction. Two of the bandits grasp their spears tightly and stand next to their Wounded ally. Four Javelins fly from over the trees towards the caravan, two striking the guard in the chest and one goes straight through his shoulder.

-Roll for Initiative-

[john m]

((Doesn't Chris get his attack as well?))

Int:6+3= 9

(((If the language is Orcish, Dwarven, Gnomish, or Draconic, I understand them.)))

((((I will wait untill I have more time to post to write my next action.))))

[cDeSalvo]

((If I get an attack, I had my Flurry of Blows w/ Shurikens prepared: First attack roll 3 (2+1), second attack roll 15 (14+1); Both of which, if they hit, are dealing 4 (2+2 and 2+2) damage each))

((And if they speak Terran, I understand))

Initiative roll: 21 (18+3)

[john m]

On my turn (whenever that might be,) I will draw my crossbow, unless it can be assumed that I've had it drawn this whole time...

[GM_Carrion_Humanoid]

Kamahl throws his shuriken at one of the bandits guarding the iced-over bandit and strikes him in the head, felling him. The other guarding bandit charges at Imnawt and swings his spear at Imnawt, missing him by a hair. The bandit with the crossbow fires at Kamahl, yelling in his gutterish language and it his him, cutting deeply (3). Imnawt then draws his crossbow as the last leading bandit leaps over the bush and charges at the merchant, net in hand.

[cDeSalvo]

Next action, attacking (shuriken flurry of blows) the "last leading bandit" who is going towards the merchant with a net.

First Attack: 5 (4+1)
Second Attack: 2 (Natural 1 +1)


...yeah... I'm not even going to bother rolling damage for either of those attacks.

I will fire my crossbow at the charging guy with the net.

I grab my crossbow from behind me, just as a bandit leaps over the bushes with a net. For a second time is frozen for Imnawt, as the bandit is suspended over the bush, sweat gleaming from his forhead, hair blown back by the wind. Imnawt is remembering a tale that his father once told him, about how a man that looks almost exactly like this one leaped into his fathers hen house, with a net that looks the same as the one the bandit is holding. He stole 4 hens that day, and my father chased him off the property, missing his two shots with the crossbow, the very same crossbow that Imnawt is holding right now.
Well, lets hope I don't suffer the same fate as my father did, this time theres more at stake then a few hens, its a mans life.
Time starts again, the bandit screaming as he charges at the merchant. Imnawt aims, steadies, then fires the crossbow, the weapon making a satisfying thwump as it leaves the crossbow.

See if it hits: 3+19=22
Damage: 1d10+1=4*2=8

((Wow, a 19. I'm stealing all your luck, Chris. (0o) The damage wasn't all that great though. ))

Imnawt fires his crossbow at the bandit, and it strikes him and goes straight through him from above the hip but he does little more than tumble before he continues. Kamahl then throws his shuriken at the bandit and manages to slay a squirrel passing by for a drink. The bandit reloads his crossbow as the other two split and each take one of you, both lunging at you and missing.

[john m]

((does loading my crossbow take a round? I don't normally use them, but I decided to give it a try.))

[GM_Carrion_Humanoid]

Heavy Crossbows do take a turn.
