[Chapter 9] The Parched Dunes

OOC:

Indeed it did! I think that negates the disarm as well.

Selquet attacks quickly, cutting the gnoll with his scimitar reflexively, then draws the blade viciously across it for good measure.

G1: -14/47, flanking Tabat
G2: -40/47 (-4 to attacks for 7 more rounds), flanking Tabat
G3: -18/47, flanking Selquet
G4: flanking Selquet

Their AC vs melee is 19

OOC:

@c1nder, @Alordis, I forgot to tag you that you get attacks of opportunity for the Disarm attempts.

Selquet's quick blade finishes off the would be disarmer.

Iseret slips to the outside and stabs the gnoll slaver attaching in the back.
Tabat takes advantage of the whipper to get a blow in, before his weapon is thrown from his hands.

Andromeda bites at the heavily injured enemy while Tabat attempts to launch himself free of Andromeda's saddle without slowing himself down. He tosses his khopesh into the sand before dismounting, then draws forth his spear, jabbing it at the next nearest gnoll.

OOC:

Dropping his khopesh, then dismounting and drawing his spear as a move action, attacking for standard.

[Chapter 9] The Parched Dunes

Andromeda kills the wounded slaver, and Tabat heavily wounds the cursed gnoll.

Selquet kills the hyena to one side and then stabs the gnoll to his other side.

Iseret gets in closer and provides flanking for Tabat.

Callum slays the gnoll on Selquet with necromantic energies channeled through his blade.

Tabat takes 7 more, then you're all up.

The last gnoll fights with the desperation of one who fears his fate. He's already cursed...

G1: dead
G2: -24/47 (-4 to attacks for 7 more rounds), attacking Tabat

Callum feels some of the gnoll's life force wash over him. The pain in his shoulder temporarily subsides.

He looks over the magic bottles to discern what they may be.

[Chapter 9] The Parched Dunes

After you free them, you find out that the gnolls captured the slaves from isolated villages and nomadic groups in the Osirian Desert and are escorting them back to the gnolls’ tribe in the foothills of the Brazen Peaks.

Worn out from the journey through the desert and their mistreatment at the hands of the gnolls, the slaves are ill prepared to return to their homes on their own. However, the city of Ipeq lies only about 45 miles to the southeast. If you were to escort them there, then you'd ensure their survival.

"I say we take a moment to escort these people to Ipeq!" Iseret states, with unusual defiance. She does not intend to compromise on this option.

"I wholeheartedly agree. They won't make it alone. The slavers would have at least kept them alive - if we do not deliver them safely, then we are as good as murderers."
