[QUOTE="H.M.Gimlord, post: 5707974, member: 79440"] [OOC]Sorry it's been so long. I'll try to get back into a regular routine, but for now, I'm just pugging the posts out as I have time. Plenty of story, just not enough free time to tell it. BTW: This Friday, we're coming up on 2 years since the beginning of "Wayne's Basement"! Woohoo![/OOC]Sheng rounds the corner and appears to have found an alternative way into the lighthouse. The constructs, however, take immediate note of the mage's entry, glowing eyes scan the crumbled building corner and focus in recognition. The magic user is so focused upon the clockwork canines, that he is quite surprised to feel the whiff of an arrow nearly taking off his right ear. Fortunately, the shot misses and passes harmlessly out over the ocean. The assalant, a solitary skeleton archer positioned behind the stairway, drops its jaw (quite literally) in embarassment. Hurredly, the decayed ward retrieves its mandible and reconnects it with a few sickening pops. He reaches for another arrow. Sheng sees no sign of the Marrowshriek. There is a well in the corner of the building, just inside the riven wall. It's walls are about 3 feet high and it still has what looks like a functional winch complete with a bucket for drawing water. The floor of the lighthouse is litttered with bones. A small chamber lies to the northeast where a large hole is gouged out of the floor as if from some horrific, arcane explosion. TikChik, finding himself in a nasty position, tactically speaking, leaves his iron assailants with something by which they can remember him as he deftly shifts away to a safer position. The thri-kreen's blades come down leaving hideous gashes. Fenwick drags Hankel out of the fray, but the dwarf's life is still draining.[sblock=Hankel's and TikChik's Actions][U][B]Hankel:[/B][/U] [B]Free:[/B] Death Save [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3225191/"]1d20=3[/URL] Fail #1 [U][B]TikChik:[/B][/U] [B]Standard:[/B] Twin Strike Target 1: Iron Defender 3 Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3225179/"]1d20+15=31 vs. AC for 1d10+6=12 damage[/URL] Target 2: Iron Defender 4 Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3225179/"]1d20+15=Crit! for 16 damage + [/URL][URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3225183/"]2d6(Crit damage)= 22 damage[/URL] [B]Move:[/B] Invigorating Stride to G16 Save minor for after Sheng's trun [B][U]Sheng's Stealth Roll:[/U][/B] [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3225200/"]1d20+8=14[/URL] [B][U]Skeleton Archer 6:[/U][/B] Readied Action Target: Sheng Attack: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3225211/"]1d20+13=14 vs. AC[/URL] Miss [/sblock][sblock=Status]Riardon: [COLOR=sienna]G19 [COLOR=lime]53[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=lime]/64HP[/COLOR] 1AP [COLOR=darkorchid]8HS[/COLOR] Gensai: [COLOR=sienna]B16(Second Floor) [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]43/81HP[/COLOR] 1AP [COLOR=darkorchid]12HS[/COLOR] TikChik: [COLOR=sienna]G16 [COLOR=lime]49[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=lime]/70HP[/COLOR] 0AP [COLOR=darkorchid]8HS[/COLOR] Sheng: [COLOR=sienna]D26 [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]56/66HP[/COLOR] 1AP [COLOR=darkorchid]7HS[/COLOR] Fenwick: [COLOR=yellow][COLOR=sienna]K19 [/COLOR][COLOR=red]33[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=red]/73HP[/COLOR] 1AP [COLOR=darkorchid]9HS[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]Bloodied[/COLOR] Hankel: [COLOR=sienna]J19 [COLOR=gray]0[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=red][COLOR=gray]/32[/COLOR] [COLOR=gray]Unconscious, 1 failed save[/COLOR][/COLOR] Skeleton Archer 1: [COLOR=sienna]C19 On battlement above [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]76/76[/COLOR] Cover Skeleton Archer 2: [COLOR=sienna]C20 [/COLOR][COLOR=sienna]On battlement above[/COLOR][COLOR=lime]76/76[/COLOR] Cover Skeleton Archer 3: [COLOR=sienna]C21 [/COLOR][COLOR=sienna]On battlement above[/COLOR][COLOR=lime]76/76[/COLOR] Cover Skeleton Archer 4: [COLOR=sienna]C22 [/COLOR][COLOR=sienna]On battlement above[/COLOR][COLOR=lime]76/76[/COLOR] Cover Skeleton Archer 5: [COLOR=sienna]C24 [/COLOR][COLOR=sienna]On battlement above[/COLOR][COLOR=lime]76/76[/COLOR] Cover Skeleton Archer 6: [COLOR=sienna]-C16[/COLOR] [COLOR=lime]76/76[/COLOR] [COLOR=gray][s]Skeleton Soldier: I17[/s]Dead[/COLOR] [COLOR=gray][s]Skeleton Soldier: I19[/s]Dead[/COLOR] [COLOR=gray][s]Skeleton Soldier: H19[/s] Dead[/COLOR] [COLOR=gray][s]Skeleton Soldier: K18[/s] Dead[/COLOR] Marrowshriek Skeleton: [COLOR=sienna]???
