Underneath the Undeath [DM: Voda Vosa; Judge: ?]

[Phoenix8008]

OOC: I edited Kurnos' last action to include getting out and downing his healing potion.

 

[BedLlama]

Zaroch fires off a magic missile towards one of the rock hurling skeletons. The blast of arcane energy consumes the fallen miner completely, leaving only dust in its wake. As the foe crumbles and the shadows subside, the enchanter dives behind a wall for safety.

OOC: Standard: Magic Missile to SR3, dealing 7 damage and killing it Move: K7 to K9 Grasping Shadows ends

 

[Voda Vosa]

The tides of battle finally swing to our hero's favour, and only two skeletons remains standing on the wake of the group's attacks.
However the undead have no where to run to, and with soulless determination, they both attack Boris, the most impending threat, landing two solid hits. The Blazing skeletons connecs with an orb of fire square to the warrior''s chest, and the rock thrower smashes a rock at Boris's helmet.

Heroes are up

Please, whoever put the total damage on the enemies as a whole number, remember I want you to add it like in a formula (=X1+X2+X3) Otherwise I can't track individual damage.
What do I mean with that? Let Phoenix8008 explain it to you:

He means that if you click on the 'Total Damage' box for any creature then look up near the top of the page, there is a line for the formulas beside where it says "fx". Click on the 'Total Damage' for Skeletal Rock Thrower 3 for example and the 'formula line' shows "=10+12+19". The program then adds these together to make the total damage and automatically subtracts it from the total hp's to fill in the current hp's. This lets the DM see that it took 10 damage from one attack, 12 damage from another, and 19 damage from a third attack. This helps him keep track of who did what if there are any questions, problems, or retcons that need to happen. So if the blazing skeleton already had 19 damage before Boris hit it for 22 more, you should change the 'Total Damage' from "19" to "=19+22" instead of just changing it to "41".

MAP and COMBAT Mining problems!! sheet contains the map and references are found scrolling down a bit.

Monsters' actions

Blazing skeleton and rock thrower attack Boris and both hit and hit Boris for 7 each, reduced to 6. Boris is now on fire! Taking 5 ongoing fire damage.

Boris paused for a moment as the flames heated his armour, long enough for Logan's bat swarm to engulf the remaining skeletons once more. At that precise moment another streaking star of white light flew from his blade towards the blazing skeleton. The effect is even more spectacular than the first devastating impact as it smashes into the pitiful creature's forehead causing it to explode in a blind flash of divine power and pulverised bone chips. When the light clears, nothing remains except a pair of bony legs which remain upright, smouldering like two macabre candles. The soul of the cursed creature, a vile writhing shadow of hatred, staggers towards Boris, screaming with silent impotence as it is drawn inexorably into the legionary's dark helm of damned.

Boris then charges down the hallway at the lone skeleton that remains, flames streaking off his body as he does so. His forces beginning to flag, his blade is knocked aside by the leering skeleton rock chucker.

[Voda Vosa]

OOC: We need our wizard to auto hit =P

 

[Grimmjow]

Alek, determined to finish off the last skeleton again calls on ice to assist him. The shard off ice flies between Boris and Ilse and catches in the skeleton's skull. As the skeleton falls to the ground Alek smiles, ​"Boo-yeah"

[sblock=actions]move from N6 to T6
Standard action= Dragon Frost vs rock thrower 2 hit[/sblock]

 

[jbear]

As the final skeleton clatters to the ground and the dust settles Boris drops to one knee and his head lowers. The flames continue to burn but the legionary remains calm. "Pelor, drink these flames that scourge our body, stamp out the fires of hell..." In response to his words the flames sputter and die out. He remains in that position for some time before standing, at which point he begins to search the fallen and the now empty room for loot of any kind that might hold them in good stead as they advance further into the mine.

[sblock=OOC] Start: Takes 5 ongoing fire dmg reduced to 4.
Standard: Makes heal check on self to put out the flames (take a save): Heal 13 vs DC 15; Fail: but if someone aids Boris successfully he will make it.
End of Turn: Save vs Fire dmg: save = 14 Success! (Don't worry about using Heal)

Short Rest: Spent in Prayer
Spend 3 Healing Surges (heals 27 Hps): Boris is Back to MAX with 5 surges remaining
Then search the dead and the room we ran from.

How many fights have we had today? Is that a milestone? Also, have the lvl 1 PCs levelled up yet?

If we continue we should use stealth (who would be best at that? Not Boris for sure!) to gauge the difficulty of the challenge we will face if we proceed. We can probably handle another couple of easy fights, or another medium fight. A hard fight ... I think we'd get slaughtered.

[BedLlama]

With heaving gasps, Zaroch slumps against a wall to regain his breath.

"Nasty fight." He manages to croak out between gulps of air. "I've got one heck of stitch in my side. Everyone is in one piece, I assume?"

OOC: I'm going out of town. I may not have Internet access until next Saturday.
