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

[Drohem]

OOC: Rissthil will pick up his longsword and torch and move directly Ylarum's left and attack the goblin before him.

[Cole]

Ulas will try to shoot an arrow at the monk before the monk reaches melee. He'll then shift to his right to form up with Othos and Rissthil.

[thedungeondelver]

Now locked in mortal combat, Ylarum will heel back with his sword to give as good as he got (hopefully).

[winkingbishop]

Othos plans to approach Ylarum's south flank (avoiding the spot where the basket will drop) and cast cure light wounds on him

Declare your Spells and General Actions for the next Round!

Ben: Not moving quite that far w. from the others. Say 5' less towards original position and 1 good stride back from the steps. Positioning myself so the goblins near the red lantern will be hindered by the furniture near the corner while keeping the wall to my back.

Seeing goblins near the red lantern I yell "Ambush,Ware the left flank comrades!" I move to the NE flank yelling an challenge in Orcish "Come dogs,my steel hungers!" while making a rotation with my longsword. Choosing my ground (see above) I plant my feet wide and hold sword a bit over rt. shoulder as I set shield and await all comers.

DM: OK I updated the map following your instructions. Refresh the thread and it should show up.
Just waiting on Gareth now.

(The red haze of pain burns a moment of clarity in Ylarum's mind and he thinks it's less of an ambush and more of a spoiling attack on their part...)

looks good...loudly as the combat swirls "Charllathan grant us  a boon..." as I open my being to Charllathan's will in this moment of need...

[Imperator]

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.
Declare your Spells and General Actions for the next Round!

[OOC: FUCK YEAH]

Gareth draws his sword and runs to the big monster, trying to use its state of blindness to... backstab it!

Ben, if you rule that backstab is not an option because the combat has started and all that, then I will try to flank Ylarum's foe and backstab him.

No battle cries from Gareth. They get in the way of backstabbing.

[Benoist]

Okay! Somebody (first to post) roll for initiative! (1d6)

The bad guys roll: 3.

[Imperator]

We get a 5

[Benoist]

We get a 5

Alright. This means you guys act on Segment 3, and the bad guys act on Segment 5.

Rissthil: roll d20 for attack with your sword on the goblin.
Ulas: roll d20 for your shooting an arrow at the monk.
Ylarum: roll d20 for attack with your sword on the goblin.
Othos: you cast Cure Light Wounds on Ylarum. It takes 5 Segments, which means it will take effect next round.
Runch: you move to the NE flank. You are close to Rissthil, and in contact with an orc. You can roll d20 to make an attack.
Gareth: you run to the huge hulking creature as it turns its back on you (as per monster intents!!). You leap off your feet. Make your d20 attack!

[Imperator]

I roll an almighty 19! So I guess I hit!

[Benoist]

I roll an almighty 19! So I guess I hit!

You totally do hit. Roll for damage. Multiply the die result by 2 (backstab). Plus any Strength damage modifier you got!

[thedungeondelver]

1d20+2=21

He's dead, Jim.
