The Forges of the Mountain King Chapter 1- Bottom's Up!

Len

Len's understanding of the situatin is limited, but there's one thing he definately knows how to do, and that's CHaaaaarge!

Shield to the fore, hoping he can knock the scruffy little fella out rather than cause lasting damage.



And Len pushes the dwarf over.

OOC: Charge to AN31, using Shield Bash at the end (can be used as a charge attack

And Len pushes the dwarf over.

OOC: Len pushes the dwarf to AN33 and knocks him prone

Len slams his shield in to the ragged Dwarf, it doesn't have quite the effect he wanted, the Dwarf is winded sure enough but pushed no where- he stands firm, or at least stays where he is- he is however knocked Prone.

Thorgrim

Thorgrimm will charge the enemy, ending on 30 AM or AN (one will be free, he is next in line and doing a Marauder's rush attack. Rolls are below.

Another glorious miss. I hope the curse will be lifted soon.

Alas Thorgrim's axe is wayward, even against the recumbent Dwarf.



Kazzagin (from above)

Calls for the Ragged Dwarf to surrender delivering his Combat Challenge, alas the strange kin seems in no mood for debate, or surrender- he scurries hard to regain his feet.

Krogan is next to join the fun (remember this is a surprise round you only have one action), but first the new map-

The Forges of the Mountain King

OOC: Not that it makes a difference here, but my Init mod is only +1, not +2. Still last either way...

OOC: Is it OK to pre-post an action that seems likely will take effect? As of now, we're waiting for Krogan, then DM plays Mardred (which we know will be quick in reply). Hoping it's ok, I'll put my upcoming turn here. If not OK, then simply ignore it and I'll repost on my turn.

OOC: This is my Army drill weekend, so I'll be out most of the day Sat and Sun...will be sure to catch up at night though.

Cinara

Should the proned raggedy dwarf keep to his square, Cinara will make a run for AP32 (7 squares) and will throw a look Eastward to see if there are any friends enroute. <Perception> ((edit: should be roll of 21 due to chanting))

And does this creature of a dwarf resonate anywhere in her skull? Any stories of old, nuggets of wisdom regarding them she can recall? <History>

OOC: Is there a way to save a message "template" that includes our characters inside the sblock coding? Or does it have to be hard-typed each time?

GM: Your +2 on Init because the statues are chanting and everyone is +1 on all rolls until you fail a skill check, to hit or save- you are buoyed by the chanting. Pre-post no probs. I save my message template (if I understand you right) in open office or any other word processor and then C&P it in each time. If I've not got one around I 'quote' a previous entry and then C&P it and then back up and use that as my template. Is this what you mean?

Krogan

Krogan doesn`t understand why is everybody fighting? This chanting is awesome! All he wants to do is bang his head and sing to this song.... although, strangely enough, he wishes that there are more dwarfs close to him.. much more, since he has an urge to mosh (moshing?).

OOC: The threat doesn`t seam to be something that the rest of the gang coulden`t handle, so Krogan will continue to do what he was doing.. at least this round that is...

Mardred

Mardred rushes forward, not sure quite how to react his instincts say slay the Dwarf but his friends... well, he'll see.

Cinara

Rushes past the Ragged Dwarf (no OA as surprise round) and looks desperately to the north east, the direction from which the Dwarf came, and sure enough the second Ragged Dwarf is watching his compatriot being knocked down.

He's seen it all...

[sblock=Cinara History Check]
History is not going to get you far here, although... the Dwarf is broken- within and without, the essential Dwarfness of the creature seems to be gone. You figure something terrible happened here... and the effect continues yet. [/sblock]

Len, you're on... the Dwarf is snarling spitting and trying to get to its feet, it's not about to make friends.


I messed up on the Initiative- it should have been +6 = 15.

Len

Len knows they've got to get this fella down afore 'is mate and any others that may be around gets too close, or get too many chances with them there crossbows. He feints with 'is shields and follows through with 'is shiny new axe.
