[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4881049, member: 7006"] ROUND 2 - Part II After being crushed by the orcs previously, [COLOR="Lime"]Wendigo[/COLOR] pauses a moment to catch his breath. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Hold action)[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR="Plum"]Dorn[/COLOR] takes the opportunity to sing an inspiring dwarven hymn that Wendigo likely remembers from his youth. It strengthens the shifter's resolve and he steps boldly forward. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Minor action: Majestic Word on Wendigo: heals 8 + 4 = 12 HP / shifts him 1 square to G16)[/SIZE][/COLOR] The half-elf then moves aside the monk, [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Move action to F16)[/SIZE][/COLOR] and catches the berserker with a cunning strike, cutting with surprising ferocity. Strike the fool while he's pained! [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Cunning Strike vs Berserker Ref 13: [21] *hit* / [6] damage / all allies gain +2 to damage vs Berserker until end of Dorn’s next turn)[/SIZE][/COLOR] Bolstered by Dorn's words, [COLOR="Lime"]Wendigo[/COLOR] moves away from the orc berzerker, using his own spirit to give him further energy. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Minor action: Harmonious Discipline: +4 THP)[/SIZE][/COLOR] Using his great speed to move around the column, the shifter sees his orc adversary once more and Wendigo closes the distance. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Move action to G21: triggers OAs from Berserker and G20)[/SIZE][/COLOR] As he hurried past the [COLOR="Green"]berserker[/COLOR], the orc’s bloodrage cannot stop him from taking a wild swing at the monk with his great axe, which unfortunately for him goes wide. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Melee Basic Attack vs Wendigo AC 20: [5] + 8 = 13 *miss*) [/SIZE][/COLOR] This opens the underside of his body to [COLOR="Yellow"]Henry[/COLOR], who tries to sneak in a cut with his polearm… and the warrior connects with his! [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Melee Basic Attack vs Berserker AC 15: [18] + 8 = 26 *hit* / [2] + 5 = 7 damage)[/SIZE][/COLOR] Wendigo comes around the large pillar and cuts across the [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]orog militant’s[/COLOR] field of view, which allows the orog to try and catch the monk as well. Despite Wendigo’s agility, the orog is successful, and Wendigo takes a slice across his upper thigh from the militant’s bastard sword [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Melee Basic Attack vs Wendigo AC 20: [13] + 10 = 23 *hit* / [5] + 4 = 9 - 4 THP = 5 damage and target is marked until end of orog’s next turn)[/SIZE][/COLOR] As the [COLOR="Lime"]monk[/COLOR] shifts into place, he snaps a kick out at the orc's leg, quickly following it up with a punch towards its ugly face. The attacks are *devastating*, and the monk’s fist hits with such force that it snaps the orog’s neck back and drops him to the ground in a heap. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Dancing Cobra vs G20 Ref 13: [11] + 10 = 21 *hit* / [8] + 5 + 4 + 4 = 21 damage *dead*)[/SIZE][/COLOR] From the top of the high staircase, [COLOR="PaleGreen"]Gloomblade[/COLOR] sees all the action taking place on the far side of the statue… and sensing an opportunity to strike the big target, he slips away from the lesser chattle and dashes across the battlefield. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Move action to J14)[/SIZE][/COLOR] As his comes in from the north, he spies a space between the fighter and bard… and with incredible agility and momentum he bounces and springs into the space, although his sword swing gets parried as it comes in. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Charge action: Move to G17 / Handspring Assault vs Berserker AC 15: [12] *miss*)[/SIZE][/COLOR] To his credit, however, Gloomblade maintains the arc of his blade even after the greataxe blocked his swing, and he brings it back around and up and over and embeds it into the berserker’s shoulder! [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Free action: Nasty Backswing + Furious Assault vs Berserker AC 15: [22] *hit* / [6] + 8 + 3 FA + 9 SA + 2 Dorn = 28 damage)[/SIZE][/COLOR] The halfork then skips lithely out of the orc’s line of sight. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Shift to F17)[/SIZE][/COLOR] With the second orog having fallen from the stairs and Gloomblade skipping away, [COLOR="DarkRed"]Galatea[/COLOR] now has more space with which to move. [COLOR="DarkRed"][I]They don't have a chance[/I][/COLOR], she thinks to herself, as she growls and attacks with her jackal jaws. She snaps at the militant’s knee and rips out a hunk of flesh, which dazes him with a sharp bolt of agonizing pain [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Predator’s Flurry vs R17 Ref 13: [6] + 8 = 14 *hit* / [5] + 6 = 11 damage / target dazed until end of Gala’s next turn)[/SIZE][/COLOR] She then quickly skitters backwards and down the tall staircase, in order to leap upon the orog laying prone on the hard stone. She rakes him with her claws, and this also dazes the enemy with a bolt of pain. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Shift to O18 / Predator’s Flurry vs P18 Ref 13: [17] + 8 + 2 CA = 27 *hit* / [3] + 6 = 9 damage / target dazed until end of Gala’s next turn)[/SIZE][/COLOR] The [COLOR="Green"]berserker[/COLOR] screams bloody murder as he is besieged on all sides, but his anger remains directed at the human who has hurt him more than anyone. He whirls his greataxe at Henry with as much force as he can, and the fighter is not able to get his halberd up to parry the blow. It not only connects, but the Warrior’s Surge re-energizes the bloodied berserker.

[COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Offering Of Justice not accepted: 14 damage)[/SIZE][/COLOR] The [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]orog militant[/COLOR] still up in the cell starts limping out on his bum leg and slowly makes his way down the stairs, trying to follow up on the druid that bit him. [COLOR="dimgray"][SIZE="1"](Dazed action: Move to N17)[/SIZE][/COLOR] The other [COLOR="royalblue"]orog[/COLOR] groans in pain as he pulls himself up and back to his feet, his eyes narrowed in furioys anger at the jackal that is hunched above him. [COLOR="DimGray"][SIZE="1"](Dazed action: Stand up from prone)[/SIZE][/COLOR] We then return back to the top of the fight. 23 [COLOR="Yellow"]Henry[/COLOR] 33/45 16 [COLOR="SandyBrown"]Tregar[/COLOR] 13 [COLOR="Plum"]Dorn[/COLOR] 14 [COLOR="Lime"]Wendigo[/COLOR] 21/34 11 [COLOR="PaleGreen"]Gloomblade[/COLOR] 22 [COLOR="DarkRed"]Gala[/COLOR] 9 [COLOR="Green"]Orc Berserker[/COLOR] -43 / marked by Henry / -2 to attack until end of Henry’s next turn / +2 to damage against him until end of Dorn’s next turn 9 [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Orog Militant G20[/COLOR] -51 dead 9 [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Orog Militant N17[/COLOR] -33 bloodied / dazed until end of Gala’s next turn 9 [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Orog Militant P18[/COLOR] -38 bloodied / dazed until end of Gala’s next turn [IMG]http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2970/round2b.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
