The Rerisen Tower(DM: Iron Sky, Judge: ScorpiusRisk)

"Get on in that tower, miss. We'll cover ya," Yim says to the master mason as he chucks his spear, missing the badly damaged hulk near Eithal and Kaz.

While the heroes still hold their positions, Fredrock and Eithal are hammered hard by the dead. Both still stand - but barely. The Mason has escaped into the tower while the battle still rages outside.

Inspiring Word(x2): Minor action, one ally in close burst 5 heals surge+1d6.[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=Special rules for this fight]As a minor action, you may let one of the Craftsmen, the Master Mason, or Captain Cale take a standard action. They may take move and minor actions as well each round if you convert additional minor actions to "fuel" them.

As before, if an adjacent craftsman is hit, you may take the damage instead as a free action. Alternatively, if you are hit, you may make an adjacent craftsman take the hit instead.[/sblock]

[sblock=Terrain]*Any terrain with rocks is difficult terrain. You can ignore it by making DC 15 Acrobatics checks to keep your balance as you run across the rocks. Fail the Acrobatics check and you are knocked prone. You can, of course, use Athletics to jump over difficult terrain as always.

*The palisades fill all the squares they are in and will make attacks against anything that tries to climb over them.[/sblock]

Better, but I'm not down yet. Fredrock says, but not so confidently as before. He takes a mighty swing at a Hulk, missing badly. He then tries to retreat towards the tower, but the undead are able to bring him down before he can get away.

[sblock=actions]
Standard action: Aspect of Elevated Harmony at Hulk 3: Effect: spend a Healing surge (8) and assume aspect of Elevate Harmony (which, without any PP, is not so useful)

Minor: Craftsman 2 Reloads
Move: Run to M6 (taking OA's..still have DR4 till the end of the turn.) (will resist pushes that don't send me closer to the tower)
OA's: RRD at I9 hits for 5-4 = 1. Hulk in K9 crits for 15-4 = 11. ...so.. 29 down + 8 healed = 21 down -12 = 33hp...fred is down at 0!...

I9 pushes to K8 (only open spot), then I9 pushes to K6..so I end up in K6 (I think)...

"Get your spear out, or we'll never keep the thing down," Livia says, and the beast is promptly skewered. Livia starts shooting at the crowd around Fredrock, cursing as her arrow doesn't strike as well as she would like.

[sblock=actions]Edit: Looks like Xeterog and I posted almost simultaneously.

"Layet's gayet owttah heyah, Freddie." Eithal lifts Fredrock over her shoulder and moves as quickly as she can toward the tower, "Mayan yowah hayvih, Freddie."[sblock=Actions]Minor: Pick up Fredrock
Move: Double move (3 squares, slowed due to encumbrance [319lbs by my calculation] and DT on top of that) to O2

Sorry, folks. Fred and Eithal are dead in the water unless someone's got two healing potions. As it is, Eithal is going to drag Fredrock into the Tower. She can carry him at half speed wherever he needs to go from there.[/sblock][sblock=Ministats]

Captain Cale, inspired by the group's heroism shouts out as he battles the dead before him, "get back to the tower, I'll hold them as long as I can. You've done what you can here, get back to the tower you crazy bastards!"

[sblock=ooc]Yikes! If I'd only posted 2 minutes faster...

Is the brownish strip of terrain that Eithal is in difficult as well? It looks less rocky than the stuff around the tower.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Knight's move on Eithal definitely (although it looks like she'll still end up being attacked in melee at least once, and possibly shot by the archers as well)[/sblock]
