A breath of relief escaped him when he reached the others of his expedition party, glad that, for now, they were all safe. Cinara's daring saving of Krogan had made sure of that. He gave the dwarf a nod of appreciation, and then stood ready to strike the massive ogre if it came lumbering this way. Krogan jumped in even before it had fully reached them. It gave Kazzagin an oppotunity to strike while the zombie ogre was distracted, but also made the blow land fairly weakly. Still, with Pelor's might behind the strike, the battleaxe seared undead flesh as it cut into the massive creature. "Begone, foul beast!" he spat.

OOC: Standard - Ready an Action - Holy Strike 25 vs Zombie Ogre - Damage 5 hp radiant damage (15 hp with Vulnerability).

OOC: Roll for Grim's Penance Stare below. It would be triggered first, as it is a ranged attack

GM: I figured with two Zombie Ogres coming in then it didn't really matter the order, so I thought I'd just stick with initiative... but anyway.

Kazz slices in to the great beast, his blade searing and and stinging the creature with it's radiant attack... but it's not enough, the Zombie Ogre comes on...

Alas Grim's withering stare does little to slow the creature's pace, the Zombie Ogre ignores the look and presses on...

Len

Len surges in with his companions, 'Come on ugly, stinky, dead thing' he screams - not exactly a morale bursting war cry, but at least its an accurate description.


And another companion hits nothing but air!!

OOC: Damn those dice!!

Cinara,

Looking left and right at her assembled Bottom Dwellers, Cinara was suddenly filled with a sense of pride. 'Here we are, assembled as one,' she thought. Just as Moradin meant for all Dwarves, noble or lower, forgeborn or otherwise. One wall, one mission, one great uber-Dwarf. It was inspiring.

"Like waves upon the cliffs, these beasts will break and fall before us, men! Do not lose your resolve and know we cannot be bested!"

Ready for their approach, Cinara watches as her brothers' attacks make and miss the mark. Amazed the creature continues to advance, she will the very stone of the ogre's passage to break free and rain down upon it as her hammer adds to the fray.

OOC: Looks like Cinara's luck has finally run out...fortunately, whether the attack hits or not, each ally (incl Cinara) within 3 squares of Cinara gains +2 power bonus to AC and Fort until the end of her next turn.

 

[Herobizkit]

Mardred skips back, winds up, and lets loose a dagger...

OOC: move "South" two squares, Ambush Trick now active. CA +2 to hit. My math is all messed up. That '3' stuck in my head. SHould be 19 total to hit.

Cinara swings with all her might, alas her warhammer merely ricochets of the beasts tough frame...

Which just leaves Mardred...
