Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

The bandit you struck in the gonads seizes up in pain. "Gah! You bloody bitch!" He shouts in pain. Meanwhile Pylia rushed the brigand armed with a crossbow. ^Reinforce!^ Just as she shouted this, her warclub was covered in a strange blue lines as Pylia smashed her club into the man's arm, breaking bones. Meanwhile the bandit you smashed goes to swing his sword at your face, but his body goes stiff. Shortfang had jumped right into the man and plunged the shortsword you gave him into the man's neck, dragging him to the ground before rolling away, leaving the shortsword in the man's neck. With a hand free Shortfang loads another bone-tipped crossbow bolt into his bowgun and fired it at the brigand that Pylia attacked, his arrow going right into the man's ear and into his brain. "Gotcha!"

The lone brigand was nervous now, but steeled himself. reinforcements will arrive, he just needs to do some damage! In a blind flurry he took a swing at you, but in this chaos you were calm yet furious, easily able to avoid his panicked attack as the sword sailed through empty air. "Shit! Dammit, just die already! DIE!"

I dunno how much HP this guy has so Kyra might kill him with her AoP, but I got an 11/14 with advantage. If the 14 hits, than I do a max of 11 points of damage. It's no crit but I'll take it.

We’ll still get adv because of their reckless attacks right?

The brigands, confident they could take on the two women and the kobold, readied their weapons to take them down. Alive, for nefarious purposes. However just as the lead bandit took out a bolt to load his bowgun you were already upon him in a flash. He didn't even see you coming as your staff cracked him across the skull, the sound of bones breaking under neath the hardwood. He let out a bloody gasp before you kicked him in the gut, knocking him sprawling back with a broken skull, three broken ribs, and a punctured lung. The laughter stopped seeing you swiftly take down one of the bandits.

^Protect the Faithful!^ Once more a shimmering aura appeared around you as Pylia warded you with protective magics, as Pylia herself joined the fray. "Vile hereatics, burn!" Raising her warclub at one of the crossbow armed brigand, Pylia shouted out her magic words once more. ^Summon Holy Fire!^ The unsuspecting brigand looked at Pylia before he was engulfed in flames. Not even the rain soaking his body would do anything to quench these radiant fires. As he screamed and vainly tried to put the flames out, Shortfang ran up alongside Pylia and fired a bolt right into the neck of the brigand. He gurgled his dying words as he feel face first into the mud, just as the flames receded. "You die now!" He shouted to the brigands.

The remaining three steeled themselves for battle. One with a crossbow took out a horn and blew it, creating a very loud and deep bellow that was responded with by another bellow not too far. The other two bandits then converged onto you, seeing that you were the closest and current the biggest threat. Unlike the goblins who attacked with mostly fury, these bandits handled their swords with more skill. The first came with a blow aimed for your head, but then he expertly feinted into a cut across your body. Or it would have, had the protective barrier that Pylia put onto you hadn't deflected the blow. The brigand looked so confident as his blade slashed across your body, however not even a single thread on your outfit was harmed. The second tried to flank with his ally and made a much more predictable strike towards your arm, which you were able to defend yourself from easily after the failed attack from the first.

Wow, Pylia and Shortfang also roll wicked hot for their initiatives. Regardless you will certainly get the first move! The nearest enemy is roughly 40 feet away and armed with a crossbow. There are five enemies total you can see, but the heavy rain makes it very difficult to see further than sixty feet. What shall thou do?

“Ah dammit!” Pylia cursed as she strapped her shield on and ran after you. The woman looked young, younger than you, but very frighten. “We have to hurry they already killed my father! It’s only my father and baby brother left!” But before you could go much further, an arrow flew through the air and struck the girl right into the back. She screamed in pain and fell onto the ground as laughter could be heard over the rain.

“Was wondering who you were screaming for! Looks like we got. Harness boys! Woooooooh!” A deranged man shouted and soon was joined by a cacaphon of screams, with five more men joining in armed with swords and crossbows. Pylia took her club out and snarled. “They must be the bandits! Let’s deal with them quickly and we can try and save that family!” Shortfang just let out a terrifying roar, almost like a dragon despite his tiny body.

Roll for imitative!

Yeesh. Well you know that her screams for help are genuine. And while it's hard to see, her dress is tattered with mud and she's bleeding from her shoulder, so she's not a distraction and legitimately hurt.

Wanna lucky it?

Go for it.

Steeling themselves, the group traveled onward and upwards through the hill. The wheels of the cart groaned as it churned through the mud, and the mules struggled to haul the entirely of the cargo upwards. Pylia was right; there was no way these beasts could possibly have forced their way up this hill in this weather. The group just reached the peek when a woman called out to them. "HELP! PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP! MY FAMILY IS BEING ATTACKED BY BANDITS!" Shortfang was already on his feet and hopped out of the wagon to go, however Pylia grabbed your shoulder and shouted after the kobold. "Wait dammit! This could be a trap!"
