[Ptolus/AD&D] IC Thread #2 - Underground (part 1)

[Imperator]

Smeads will hug the wall to his left (as facing into the room)

Then slink along it to the corner. Then will crouch down and crawl along the floor nearest to the wall. One near a candle I will call back for someone to shoot a candle to distract it's attention, then crawl past that candle real quick.

Gareth hurls his oil flask to the chanting monk, and hastily takes cover to ready arrow and bow.

(DM: Is Snave getting around to bringing me another flask?)

Somebody roll for initiative.

OK Actions are simultaneous.
Intents as I understand them:

Tudd rushes south towards the sound of fighting.
Runch follows, pushing the orc along with him as he tries to understand the meaning of its words.
Othos sets his morningstar aflame (which is so cool when I think about it it makes me grin), and trades places with Klob (i.e. Fighting Retreat maneuver), who takes a few steps back, switches back to his crossbow and reloads. Othos rolls for attack.
Ulas Xegg takes another shot at the monk standing on the dais. Ulas rolls for attack.
Belak fights defensively and tries to hold the line (I'm assuming he's Parrying basically).
Ylarum asks Snave for another flask. He's searching for one in the room's clutter (TDD rolls for Snave 1d100).
Gareth throws a flask of oil at the monk standing by the iron door at the end of the corridor with colored candles. He then takes cover and switches for bow and arrow.
Smeads at the same moment crawls his way down the corridor, hugging its left side, past the first lit (orange) candle.

Ulas Xegg takes another shot at the monk standing on the dais. Ulas rolls for attack.

flaming morningstar on glob monster (1d20=12) (hits AC

if that hits...

morningstar damage before fire damage (2d4=3)

Othos makes a spirited advance on the glob monster, swinging his flaming morningstar around his head once before attempting a telling blow.

(Common tongue) "These unearthly things fall to flame!  Hold strong!  We have an fallen comrade and a mission to preserve.  The Builder will see this day won!"

1d100=90

(I either did really well or really poorly!)

Also, THIS.

[Benoist]

Here's how the round goes down.

Tudd rushes down south and is now almost in melee. He can see his comrades fighting the wave of fleshlings coming their way, with Belak fighting defensively, Othos waving his flaming morningstar around. He is close to Klob who is presently reloading his crossbow.

Runch is not far behind, orc in tow.

Othos hits with his morningstar and the fleshling falls apart like the pile of agglomerated bone and goo it is. It is almost instantly replace by a fleshling coming in contact with him and attacking. It hits AC 4. 3 points of damage. Roll a Save vs. Poison.

Belak fights defensively. Two fleshlings are on him at this point. They both attack at -5 due to his parrying maneuvers. Both fail spectacularly.

Ulas shoots his bow at the monk and misses. He retreats in the western room.

Ylarum waits for Snave to give him a new oil flask. He is searching and searching, and doesn't find anything so far.

Gareth throws a flask of oil at the small monk by the iron door. It instantly bursts into flames, and remains completely immobile. The candles all shoot one after the other towards the opposite wall as the flask flies by. A blob of orange magma, a wisp of green smoke and a ray of deep blue light succeed each other very quickly.

Smeads at the same time crawls his way past the Orange candle. No problem on his side of things.

save vs. poison. +4 vs. poison (dwarf racial ability) will be added later. (1d20=10) Total is 14 for a pass!

Othos smashes through the first goo monster with his flaming morningstar.  He didn't see the next one coming!

[Benoist]

DM: Alright! New round. Intents?

[Cole]

Ulas will continue heading counterclockwise, moving toward Othos & co., stopping before he would become visible to the enemies in the center.

[thedungeondelver]

Ylarum, having no oil to throw, will instead grab a piece of wooden rubble and proceed to make a brand this round, wrapping one end with cloth and tipping a small amount of oil from Snave's lantern.

[Sigmund]

Tudd will charge the nearest enemy and hit it really hard with his big spiky stick. Then maybe he'll hit it again.
