The skeletons are now only crumbling bones. The walking corpses are only dessicated husks, swiftly turning to dust. And the evil presence is now but a memory, dissipated and scattered to the winds. The chapel stands empty, but it is as if a weight has been lifted from it. Though the clouds...

The remaining skeleton moves away from the mass of the foes facing it, slashing at Tyris as it does so. Skeleton Y Move: Shift to L6 Standard: Short Sword vs. Tyris (1d20+8=22, 1d6+4=8) -5 from Moment of Glory: 3 damage. Woo! Stairs are considered difficult terrain. Rubble is difficult terrain...

I don't think I ever had 6-8 PCs in an AD&D game. 2-3 was a lot more likely, with or without NPCs. Was I "doing it wrong"? Probably. I was 12 at the time.

Hú Lí emerges looking as poised and elegant as ever, with her hair coiled elaborately above her head--in fact, she looked like this about five minutes after the fight. "While the trail of the prey is still warm," she says, "a predator would continue the hunt. Yet we have left our companions...

I don't really see it as a railroad, but I honestly don't see the point of not telling the players what's in their inventory unless they specifically ask. Going through the contents of the bag is one of those things like cleaning your weapons or making sure your shoes are tied that are glossed...

Just waiting on VanderLegion.

But which one of us? None of us look particularly dwarfish.

As long as you're not going to be totally at a loss if he fails a bunch of death saves.

I dunno. I think this one's at least partially on you. Sounds like serious miscommunication to me. Now, it could just be that they were dim, but not telling them what's in their backpacks unless they specifically ask doesn't scream "good GMing" to me.

There may have been more to explore, but there wasn't any more to sell. WotC as a business had to do something. You can argue that 4E should have been more like Pathfinder, i.e. a revision rather than a rebuild from the ground up, but as far as having things to sell for the existing game line...

The skeleton crumbles into a heap of bones, its sword clattering on the flagstones as it falls. All PCs (plus Mallaby) have DR5 all from Moment of Glory. Goldenhorn: K7 HP 30/37, Surges 10/10, AP 1, second wind unused Spider: J7 HP 31/39, Surges 10/10, AP 1, second wind unused Tyris: L7 HP...

While the weaker skeleton moves behind Goldenhorn, the other two switch to their melee weapons. The one on the ground draws its sword as it stands, leaving its bow on the ground. The other stows its weapon more carefully, then both of them strike at Goldenhorn. Skeleton 3 Minor: Shift to K8...

Vanderlegion: Spider's already in J7. If you want to change that to L7, I can apply the damage to Skeleton Y. Sorry 'bout the delay, folks

"Good idea!" Fenwick shouts to Riardon. "Fenwick finish this one first." He does so efficiently, then steps into flanking position and unleashes a wild blow with his axe against the other defender, which manages to produce a lot of wind and little else. Standard:Vault the Fallen vs. Iron...

H.M., you've got Fenwick's HP total wrong. He used an AP to second wind here Thus Fenwick is at 49/73 HP after that last hit, and Riardon can save his Inspiring Word for when it's an emergency.

As the cannibal goes down to Noriaki's blade, Hú Lí looks over at the final foe, now engaged with Castile and the irregulars. She gives a predator's smile, then raises her arm high, and brings it down for a final thump on the head of her drum. The sound echoes throughout the woods, startling...

The creature utters an inhuman scream, then dissolves into nothingness. Its malevolent aura no longer infests this place. However, there remain its servants to deal with.Spider was 1 point away from killing it, so adding on a Power Attack (1d12=11) kills it.The two closer skeletons, their...

Since it's insubstantial, it takes half damage from just about everything, so it's still alive. (no, wait, it's undead) Still moving about. (immobilized) Still up! (prone) You know what I mean.

Inspired by Riardon's war cry, and seeing that Hankel is now coming around, Fenwick leaves the dwarf where he is, and makes a move to help the warlord, who appears threatened by several foes. Seeing that the creatures guarding the gate are poised to strike, Fenwick rushes around behind Riardon...

Right. Zombie dead now. Tyris has more hp and is not prone, everything else is the same, including positions. On with the show!
