Academy of Drell, Part IV

[Zhure]

Hey Zhure, you used my screen name instead of the character's name.

D'oh! Fixed it. Sorry.

Victor whoops out an orcish battlecry and attempts to strike the device...

yeah, the blades are integral and an "unarmed" attack and can't be attacked seperately, but Victor strikes it with his longsword...

... but his blade skitters off it's hard metallic surface, the slashing weapon not even leaving a scrape mark behind.

Sildarin tries to pin the device to the ground but its wriggling keeps it from being held down.

I wasn't sure what Rallyn wanted to do; the device still hasn't acted this round but it took a full round action to attempt to escape the pin and tied the roll, so it's a draw; no pin, no escape. I hope that sounds fair.

...Rallyn revises his plan and attacks the arbalest...

Spear attack would be fine, though it appears to be immune to piercing/slashing so far.

Weird the post I made last night is gone.

"I don't think we can cut this thing up, maybe we should try to crush it? I can give anyone who needs one a weapon to do just that."

Seeing that Sh'ar is down for the moment, Ellie will prepare to manifest a weapon for the first person to come over to her. As well as moving to block direct movement to Sh'ar's body.

That was nice of you, offering weapons and shielding Sh'ar's body.
Damn it, not now Anya. Later, Later!

 

[Dalamar]

"Get yourselves and Sh'ar out! We need to back off and make a tactic to beat this thing!"

Why, oh why can't they listen to me?
Because they don't trust you? Or maybe they think you're worth fighting for?
Yeah, right.

Sildarin tries to keep the arbalest down on the ground with his weight.
Pin: *roll* 18 (Whoppee!), Total 22 =18+3+1(Insp.C.)

 

[Zhure]

Sildarin valiantly grapples with the device, trying desperately to hold the scissoring blades and it's spindly legs down all at once. For the moment he seems to have succeeded but the thing still struggles against his weight holding it to the ground.

 

[Lichtenhart]

While singing, Victor can't speak to explain his plan, so he gesture Rallyn to get Ellie's weapons, sheathes his world and joins Sildarin efforts.

I sure as hell won't let this thing impale you or worse while you cover our retreat, my friend.

Victor tries in every way to keep the thing from harming Sildarin blocking as many appendices as he can.

Now, I think this is the same round in which Sildarin is trying to pin the thing, right? So this will be an Aid Another action to give an additonal +2 on his pin check. Attack roll: 8+3+1=12 Yes! Do we manage to pin it now with a check of 24?


On, and while I'm at it, do victor find anything like this machine in his memory? Bardic lore 7+6=13. Well, I try...

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn looks around for Charlotte, Keith, or Maerath and tries to assess the situation while trying to stick the arbalest.

If neither Keith or Charlotte go for Ellie's mace(?) before the next update. Please assume that Rallyn goes for it.

 

[Zhure]

With Victor's help, Sildarin manages to pin the device to the ground, but it continues to struggle.

Rallyn steps up to Ellie, who touches him, and manifests a mace into his hands....
