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.

Pivoting on Rissthil's right flank, Ylarum takes an overhanded lob with his broadsword at the orc.

1d20+2=3

...and misses pathetically.

(if the Orc falls I will look to see if any of my companions need healing. If not I will start to move to the N. passage....if he stands I will stay engaged.)


I look a bit surprised at the dust rising from the basket and grin at the sight of Tudd...is he moving?!
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!

Coughing and waving his shield hand around to clear the dust as he rises to his feet and fumbles for his morningstar, Tudd shouts, "I'm here brudder.... where's the mean things to hit?!"

Runch? I have one word for you: Decapitation! :D

The orc's head flies off its shoulders, bumps against a wall and lands with a loud fleshy sound somewhere on the floor.

There is still Gareth on the back of the hulking creature (who needs to roll his backstab damage, plus another d6 for the fire damage), and the two humanoids Runch spotted by the red lantern a few seconds earlier.

Tudd, you're in from now on. Nimten? You show up from the ceiling. You see the current situation (you have line of sight to the huge oaf from where you are).

Smeads is currently lowered down the well (will become active next round).

That doesn't count. Runch's action was delayed, and it was still Round 2. By the time Round 3 begins (now), the orc is decapitated.

OK. Declaration of Intents, people!

Ulas will try to shoot the more easterly of the two orcs in the north corridor, then shift toward Othos.

Tudd will look for Runch and make his way to his brother's side, ready his shield and sling, then look for any threatening enemies.

OOC: Round 3 Intent... Rissthil is going to step directly north and stand at the edge of the top step of the dais so that they will have to come up the steps to attack him.  If any enemy approaches him, he will attack with his longsword.

Sorry on the delay, I was working here.

My intent in this round is:

a) if the oaf is still up, I will keep my sword stuck on the fucker hoping to enlarge the wound (and keep a hold on him), and stab him in the neck with my dagger.

b) if the oaf falls down, I will unstuck my sword from its corpse and run back to the group, in the dais.

Othos will rush (waddle) almost directly north just before the descent down the dais.  He will hunker down into a squat with his shield planted firmly in a defensive position, forming a nice beefy Dwarf-wall for nearby folks like Rissthill, Ulas or Ylarum to fire missiles from behind.  He'll take this opportunity to properly wield his morningstar now.

Ylarum will move to hold the center of our staggered line, ready to shift to the north if need be, but keeping a careful eye on the developments to the east.

Ben., Not sure how long it takes to do but here is my intent...

After wiping my blade on the fallen...I stride to meet him,a smile playing upon my lips amongst the carnage. "I see you made it down...interesting approach." As I look him over for wounds continuing "Close your eyes and Kneel for a moment brother,let the will of Charlathan be a balm to you, afore you enter the fray." Leaning my shield against my leg I place one hand on his shoulder, grasping my zemi with the other.Closing my eyes and letting my head hang I beseech Charlathan with murmered prayer to heal...http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2786726/
