Something is Rotten in the State of Caervenfor . . . [IC Thread]

[Seraph]

[ic]The King is seen to be in a heated exchange with a noble looking man dressed sporting the colors of Corbin--the colors of the carriage that nearly ran you over in the street.  This does not last long, and King Osric soon rises from his seat and with much trumpeting and fanfare exits the hall.  The surprised guests are unsure of what to do.  Some leave immediately, some half-heartedly linger.  It arrives as the general consensus that the best option is to retire for the night.  As you make your way to the bedchambers provided for you by the Kingâ,¬,,¢s generosity, you become aware of a disturbance as general commotion as people begin to rush back and forth in a distressed manner.  A door near you flings open and Cassius bursts out, bleeding from a wound to the shoulder.  
"Damn it all!  Same shoulder too!"  shouts the Thane of Tersigrad.  Then, seeing you "assassins!"  
The Castle is under attack![/ic]
8 Assassins: 6 hp, 6 hp, 5 hp, 5 hp, 4 hp, 4 hp, 3 hp, 3 hp (Enemy)
Cassius, Thane of Tersigrad: 64 hp (Ally)
Prince Osric II: 40 hp (Ally)

initiative [dice]1d20+4[/dice] [/ooc]
 [ooc]While we were recieving our medals i was very couyrteous to the nobility and king, chatted with some of the guards and servants and flirted with some of the ladies.

Hooray for retroactive actions![/ooc]

[ic=Aldabrat]Aldabrat roars, drawing his unloaded pistols and rushing forward.

"Prepare to die, whore-children!"[/ic]

[Stargate525]

[ic]Jelma'c says nothing, but rushes into his room, returning moments later with his spear.[/ic]

 [ooc]Initiative: [dice]1d20+5[/dice] [/ooc]

[Seraph]

[ooc]What a fast paced battle!  I mean in five days we've gotten a whole 3 initiative rolls.  I can hardly keep track.  :-/
If we could get some initiative rolls here, that would be nice. [/ooc]

[Captain Obvious]

[ooc]c'mon y'all![/ooc]

[Captain Obvious]

so, what's going on with this? SH called the start of the fight like 2 weeks ago. i wanna fight some assasins.

[Seraph]

Well, until we get initiative rolls from Jharviss and Raelifin . . .

[Seraph]

I would like to say
[ic=Annoyed DM]grr . . . arg . . .[/ic]

[Raelifin]

[ooc]Ack! I'm so sorry! I kept checking the thread for a good while, but I recently fell prey to the evils of "spring break" and... well... I slipped up. Sorry. :([/ooc]
[ic Archer]Snapping to attention, Archer reaches for a bow which was placed, foolishly, aside. Damn this! I'd be better prepared if caught in my sleep!

Init: [dice]1d20+3[/dice][/ic]

[Seraph]

[ooc]To give things a chance of finally getting rolling again, I am going to roll initiative for Jharviss.[/ooc]
 [ic=Cruvagn][dice]1d20+1[/dice] [/ic]

[Captain Obvious]

[ooc]ooh, guess i'm first up. we do have weapons with us, cotrrect? I would assume you'd have told up so if we didn't, but i could fully undeerstand if we had been told to not bring them to the ceremony. If we were told to leave swords and pistols and things behind, i still keep my bootknife on me unlessthey specifically take it away.
just like to get this cleared up before my action.[/ooc]

[Seraph]

[ooc]It would have made sense for you to have been made to leave your weapons and armor behind, but as that was not mentioned beforehand, you may fight with all your stuff.[/ooc]

[Raelifin]

[ooc]In that case, Archer is without his bow, quivers, armor, or buckler, though he kept his sword.

Any chance we see these "assasins"? http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0003.html [/ooc]
