Quote from: pbj44;738369Norda falls into a fighting stance at the Northern tunnel entrance, sword on high, ready to strike! She mutters, "Someone to my left side please - to plug up this tunnel!"

Foromo tells Hurtag  and Hurmak to do so...then pulls out an oil flask, cuts a short piece of rope, shoving it into the flask like a stopper, then takes a big swig of his strong mead, but not swallowing.

Hurmak falls in behind Jolly (OOC - He can fight with his spear from the second rank - over Jolly's head - with a -1 to hit penalty), ready to strike when he can! Hurtag steps in behind Hurmak at the ready!

OOC - Foromo, it will take you the party's first initiative to get those preparations completed - just wanted to let you know.

The first monster roars and rips at Jolly (ATT 16) for 2HP of damage (HITS AC3 so maybe a miss!)
The Second monster claws at Norda (ATT 12) but fails to break through her maile armor.

The rest of the burnt men are bunched up behind the first two, frantic to get at Jolly and Norda!

Okay, time for the party to respond! OOC-So I don't forget - Jolly you get 50XP for the gutting of the emaciated man in the previous room!

(OOC - will let Drohem go first...)

Norda swings at her opponent, blasting the rags and leather vest from it's chest (OOC - ATT = 13) and wounding it for 2HP of damage!

The familiar whistling sound of Mergo's sling twirling the zing! of a stone being released can be heard just before the monsters crash into Norda's and Jolly's shield wall in the hallway.  There is a distinctive thud! sound as Mergo's stone slams into the burnt creature's chest just before it tries to tear into Jolly.  However, Jolly is able to block the creature's attack and turn it with his shield at the last moment and avoid being clawed by the creature.  Jolly tries to stab the creature but it dodges Jolly's sword thrust.

=========================================

OOC:  Jolly is AC 2.  Mergo rolls a 21 for his sling attack and does 1 damage.  Jolly rolls a 5 for his sword attack and misses.

OOC - Okay, up next is Hurmak! Git 'em Hurmy!

Quote from: pbj44;738546OOC - Okay, up next is Hurmak! Git 'em Hurmy!

(OOC - OK, the formalities first...Hurmak



Hits AC-9 for 3 pnts Dmg)

Hurmak goes into his familiar fighting Style...(Thrust, parry, parry, whack, whack, parry, thrust...) and Accidently hits the guy on Jolly.

Hurtag hits



For 20 dealing 7 pnts damage to the closest fiend that is in need of killing...

Foromo is hopefully finishing up his Malatov...

Hurmak misses with the spear (remember to apply -1 to your attack rolls!), but just as he swings the Paladin begins to glow a soft golden yellow!!! Words begin to form over the huge double doors!

OOC: Hurtag is in the party's third rank and so does not get a swing as he is not close enough. So the hallway looks like:

Monster Monster
  Jolly     Norda
Hurmak   Beyla
Hurtag    Mergo
       Foromo
        Peldic

Okay, GM rolls 1 for new initiative!

(OOC - If I may, that 11 was with -1 to hit, take a closer look at the roll. just wanted to point that out...though I hate to waste a good roll, will accept Hurtag judgment...)

Foromo hollers out - "Hey Guys, not sure what's going on, but we might have some help here...)

Sorry about the -1, just blind as a bat today!

Quote from: pbj44;738585Sorry about the -1, just blind as a bat today!

No problem we all have a bad day or 2...

"Damn it!" Jolly says upon hearing Foromo's call, "Peldic, take up Mergo's position!  Mergo, draw you sword and stand shoulder to shoulder with Foromo!"

===================================

OOC:  I rolled a 5 for Round 2 Initiative.

"Hurtag, on me..."

Peldic quickly relieves Mergo who along with Hurtag join Foromo in facing off against the statue.

White light now begins to bleed off the statue! Years of dust and neglect begin to peel away! The statue's ruined face begins to morph!

OOC - Okay combatants, get your attacks in!

Norda swings a ferocious strike that somehow fails to kill anything (ATT = 6)!
