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.

DM: You can shoot now, in fact, during Round 5. Roll to hit and damage. Are you aiming for a particular spot on the creature? You can see it move around in the frame of the iron door. Assume you have each different moment a shot at a different part, so you can choose when you shoot, basically. What to you shoot at? Body, tentacles, eye, big mouth under the eye, etc?

Ylarum is aiming at the moment (as per PM). Still waiting to see if Nimten does something before moving on with Round 6.

Ulas will try to shoot at the eye; it's roughly in the middle anyway from the looks of it.

Roll 14+3=17

If that hits, damage 2

Ylarum will let fly with the stone he lifted, hoping his brawny thewed arms and the size of the stone will at least give the creature pause before it dashes anyone to bits.

1d20=15

(I hope Ylarum smashed it in it's eyeball with a meaty "GUNCH" sound.)

Ulas's arrow is released, zooms low within the corridor, nearly hits the corridor's eastern wall, then past Tudd's legs, to finally hit the creature's flesh just by its eye, which is missed by a few inches. Still a hit, however!

That's a looong throw. Ylarum is not proficient (-2 penalty), but he is strong enough to throw the boulder and drive it kinetically all the way to its target (world record for a 13 kg weight is just under 85 feet thrown, and Ylarum is built like an ox).

Considering all this, the boulder would have hit, if it weren't for the candles! The boulder flies past the orange candle. A pulse of magma flies off its flame and strikes the boulder, which hits the eastern wall of the corridor, hits the western wall, and finally lands by the eastern side of the iron door, at the small statue's feet.

Next (6th) round! What are your characters' intents, everyone?

I know already of Tudd's:

Nimten stays clear of the crowd.
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

"Agreed.  It sounds as though they are at it again.  And just when I thought the battlefield had cleared!"  Othos trails Runch and heads towards the combat.

Ylarum thinks this through for a moment, then grabs two stones.  One the size of a grapefruit, the other the size of the one he tried to bean the critter with.

Belak hastily takes off his quiver of bolts and light crossbow and hands them to Klob as he says in dwarvish, "get someone to aid you in providing supporting fire."

Belak slips off his backpack and drops on the floor.  He then gets down on the ground and crab crawls through the trapped room with his battle axe cradled on his elbows.

Klob steps forward to take Belak's crossbow, and says loudly to the others gathered there, "everyone not firing something, get away from the doorway!"

Klob hands Tarm Belak's crossbow and quiver of bolts and says, "try to keep up with me, and don't shot Belak in the back!"

Klob then steps into the doorway and takes aim with his crossbow, looking for a clear shot on the abomination.

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

OOC: Round 6 Intentions:
-- Belak will crawl through the room toward the abomination.
-- Klob will fire his crossbow at the abomination.

DM: addressed question via PM.

Othos and Runch join their companions by the entrance of the corridor while (with Nimten) staying clear of missile fire.

Ulas takes another shot at the creature's eye. Roll attack and damage.

Ylarum grabs two stones. Assuming he throws one kind of aimlessly as to trigger the candles to then fire the other, just roll for one single attack and 2d4 damage.
Also roll for attack and damage from Tarm's crossbow (assuming it's already loaded, cf. Drohem's post).

Belak crawls through the corridor as this is going on.

Klob fires his crossbow. Roll for attack and damage.

Tudd picks up the statue of the hobbit monk, runs towards the creature and tries to throw the statue on it. Roll for attack, and 2d6 damage.

Meanwhile, the creature drops Smeads and Gareth, who miraculously (;)) do not take any further damage (but are still losing 1 HP this round due to the blood loss from their previous injuries), and tries to grab Tudd as the half-orc runs towards it (I will roll in my next post once you all have rolled attack and damage).
