This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ylarum yells (since stealth is now out of the question) : "Form a wedge!  I'm on the point, spellcasters at the rear!  Good throw, Gareth - burn 'em all!  Othos, fall back and link up with us!  Steady lads, steady!"

I'll then move forward onto the dais' middle with (hopefully) those in the group taking some direction and doing likewise.

Still waiting on Runch's and Ulas's intents.

Gareth: roll d20 for your attack/oil flask throw.
Rissthil: Shield Spell in effect by Segment 5, when the monsters act.
Othos: roll d20 for your hammer throw. Then you are stepping back and see Ylarum hopping up the steps as you do so.
Ylarum: You move to the middle of the dais. This catches the creatures' attention as they clearly intend to move forward.

Beyond the init result you mean? Err... no? LOL :D

Ulas: You move back by Runch's current position and shoot an arrow at the green/most forward orc. Roll d20.

For specially-crafted bows only. This is not the case of the bow you possess. You inflict maximum damage from your bow: 6 damage.

@ Othos: Strength damage does apply to hurled weapons (Hammer throw).
@ Gareth: Strength damage does not apply to the oil flask (the container's kinetic force doesn't do any damage itself as it explodes on contact, but the oil does).

Only if you have specially made bow.  (cf. OSRIC 2.0 page 29, note under missile table.)

I roll an 11. If I add my DEX bonus to missile, that is a 12. Do I scorea hit? If not, I hope at least to splash plety of oil on the ground.

Given the size of the creature, that it is incredibly slow, and still puzzled as to the reason why it cut open its massive hand on the urn's roof that is completely undamaged, yes, it is (just!) a hit!

No creature around is affected, though (they're all 5 feet or so away from the hulking thing). Roll for damage. 2d6 to start with.

The motherfucker eats 5 points of damage. I hope is a good, dry, flammable undead.

They're still at the position you see on the map at the beginning of the round. They haven't acted yet.

unmodified attack roll [thrown hammer at goblinoid] (1d20=11) no strength mod to speak of, +1 to hit goblins, hobgoblins, orcs and half-orcs, range penalty.

Othos hurls the hammer and falls back into the wedge formation.

At this point, here: the situation.

The closest creature from you takes an arrow right in the skull from Ulas Xegg. It falls prone and is jerking uncontrollably in the goo.

Rissthil's incantation summon his Shield, which is now in effect.

Othos misses his target with his thrown hammer.

Runch (acting on Skofflox's original intent) yells a challenge and moves around the dais to the North to flank enemies after their initial assault.

Ylarum yells his orders and hops on top of the dais.

And finally, Gareth hurls his oil flask, which hits the huge creature right in the face. The yell that comes out of the flames is REALLY, really loud, and raging. The creature crashes back against the (southern) wall to its left. It is blinded.

Your enemies move as fast as they can to meet you in combat, all save the one that took an arrow in the head and is now prone, as well as the creature just behind the huge oaf which seems terrified by the view of the flames and hesitates.

A very fast, nimble goblin whose flesh seems devoured by a sort of cancer eating at its skin makes incredible leaps forward to strike at Ylarum (counts as a charge). It is covered with patches of the same sickening stuff that is on the floor. The two others now climbing the steps of the dais you can recognize as an orc, and a human dressed in monk robes, respectively. Both of them visibly affected by the same kind of ... disease, but they are not nearly as nimble as the charging goblin is.

Goblin charges Ylarum: Hits AC 2. Damage: 6. Ouch!
