Another pawn down. Ah well, if it bleeds, it can be killed. "Let's move our unicorn friend a step to the left and prepare for a charge if the king dares step in its way. I can deal with miss Chain." Ogrin brings out a few bottles of healing potions and swallow the content of a blue one. It...

Ogrin nods. "If you block the scorpions approach, it may give us some chance to move our forces -- such as yours truly -- ahead as well."

"By putting the bishop in the way, we only stand to lose, not to gain. I doubt e'll stand his ground against that bug... but I have no better ideas either. If we do move 'im up, let's make sure he uses those wound-knitting spells on me before that... thing approaches. "

OOC: I've used the standard srd gnoll + skeleton monster entries below. Disregard this post if it is not correct. Forgot improved initiative, but Ogrin is first anyway. Ogrin keeps his focus on the skeleton. "Hello, Boney. Care to dance?" As soon as the black king makes his move, Ogrins springs...

"Hold up there, buddy." Ogrin rummages through his pack and hands another flask to Razh. "Start by throwing this at him. Nothin' like a good barbecue." Ogrin offers Razh an alchemists fire.

"Good work, buddy!". Ogrin passes his hip flask over to Razh. Unfortunately, it only contains cheap brandy from their latest Inn stay. Ogrin smirks at the skeleton approcahing. "Watch out. Sticks & stones can break your bones...". He hefts his Morning star and shield, ready for its approach...

Ogrin has a pretty good tumble score and isn't worried about fighting a spiked chain fighter in such an enclosed area*. She might have other tricks up her sleeve, though. However, I'm wondering if Razh shouldn't just go for the king while he's fresh... it's a gamble, of course, since we don't...

OOC: Hmm, I was actually considering the "can't castle while checked rule" but thought the "king can take whatever risk he pleases" statement negated that. Ah well.

Ogrin joins the vikings for yet another choir of cheers as Razh downs the pawn. "Oy, Razh! Before you knock yourself out, can you get a better look at the king, queen and bishop? Forewarned, etc, etc..." OOC: Knowing more exactly what we face may aid us in deciding our tactics.

As Ogrin gets the order to move, he cracks his knuckles. "Alright! Finally some action" He then moves to his designated location, trotting like a horse. If only I had two coconut halves... Sword and shield ready, he readies an attack against any foe that comes into reach.

Ogrin cheers with the other vikings, and mourns as they do. "That wasn't bad at all. That minotaur looks like it's gonna topple at any time; we should finish it before they manage to heal it. Oh, and I think we should refine our vikings defensive tactics. "If a viking is threatened by a melee...

Ogrin ponders a bit further and then comes up with the following starter tactics. "If we want to play it safe, let's get our knight... I mean, our other knight into play and see what happens when it takes care of some of their pawns. Or, we could open up a hole in front of our queen to let Queen...

Ogrin stretches his neck until a satisfying pop is heard. "Let's play.". With that, he tightens his shield straps, draws his morning star and, imitating the pawns, looks expectantly at Beamer. "Your call, my lord. Chess was never one of my favorite games. Always got caught cheatin'." OOC: Do we...

Ogrin says to Razh, "So we mount the horses, while you mount the queen. Hardly seems fair, but then again, your luck with horsies aren't that great, I guess. I can be a knight; I seem to remember they can move in & out of enemy territorries, which suit me just fine." "I'd wager ten gold that...

Ogrin points the upside-down hallway out to Trimble and asks, "This is normal, then?" Ogrin waits for Trimble's answer, then slips in after the others, shield brandished and a hand on his sheathed long sword. OOC: Will be in London over Easter - might not be able to post as frequently, but...

"Aye, " says Ogrin, nodding in assent, "I think Beamer's on the right track." He grins and pats Beamer on the shoulder. "Good thing you pulled through; I would've hated to fight my way through a parrot."

"Do you remember the riddle? Anything that'd give us a head start would be helpful..."

Ogrin thinks back on the past few years, on the unspeakable disembodied horror they unleashed on the island of Varras'zul and on the terrible black dragon they upset while fighting the viscount Causticus. "Demon lord? Spider god? I have no idea what you're talking about." "I'm sure you value...

"Aye, that's one wicked mutt. Did you see its eyes? It was as if they glowed within the shadows. That's how I knew where to strike, really. I doubt this one was sent as a guide from the Dog." Ogrin picks the heart from Razh's hand. "I've 'eard of folks with hearts of stone, or hearts of gold,"...

"Withdrawing from melee combat is a full-round action. When you withdraw, you can move up to double your speed. The square you start out in is not considered threatened by any opponent you can see, and therefore visible enemies do not get attacks of opportunity against you when you move from...
