[Adventure] Dive into Darkness (Judge: stonegod)

[ScorpiusRisk]

Cairn tries to free Filo from enemies, but, distracted by the need to keep the giant occupied, he misses.

[sblock=Actions]
Free: mark cyclops and #1
Standard: Weight of earth vs. skeleton #3 AC (1d20+10=14, 1d10+5=7) - I'm guessing a miss
Move: stand
**Miss, Cyclops uses Undead Eye, Cairns gains Vulnerable 5 to the cyclops attacks till the end of the Cyclop's next turn.**
[/sblock]

Filo tried another jab at the new skeleton before him but proves incompetent as he almost loses his sword in his sweaty grip.

[sblock=OOC]:
std: warsong strike
natural one for the miss
mov: no
min: no

**If invisible castle is down I'd like you to use another linkable site, or simply post your actions and I'll roll. Not that I think you're lying about the natural one or anything.**[/sblock]

The Cyclops glares at Cairn before slamming it's arm down, only to be blocked away. The skeletons follow, swords and arrows flying. It seems a stalemate but for one arrow that slips into the Cairn.

[sblock=ooc]Cyclops attacks Cairn. Scorpius goes to get some dice. 11 vs AV Misses.

Skeleton 1 attacks Cairn. 17 vs AC Misses.

Skeleton 3 attacks Cairn. 19 vs AC Misses.

4 fires on Filo. 10 vs AC Misses.

5 and 6 fire on Cairn. 21 Misses but 22 hits. Cairn takes 3 damage.[/sblock]

Dammit Filo concentrate! The Halfling chided himself mentally. You've drilled with the militia now take a deep breath and strike...HARD!
The little halfling brought his shortblade over his head and with a "Yahhhh!" struck the skeleton on the collarbone. He felt it give under the force of his blow as he shattered the undead's body. He then huffed "Better." and looked around for any other immediate threats. He then eyed the outer ledge and attempted to scramble up. "Can't be too hard?"

OOC: hero, will you use minor for you item power and AP for song of dawn? I'll post my actions since you can take AP retroactively. No more wasting actions on minions, I'm cyclops all the way now (only with at-will though).

Scorpius, is there any detectable change in teleport circle? What I mean, if I shift over it to better cover Filo, will I dissapear into the other room?

Cairn patiently hews at big skeleton, content he's doing his best to cover his fleshling. He swings hard trying to stagger the giant and as always the earth answers his call, small protrusions forming on the floor grabbing cyclops legs and slowing it down.

[sblock=ooc]There is no noticeable change in the circle. It looks just as active as it did on the other side.

I'll wait for hero's response before resolving. If you want to do a minor action as well hero, I'd be fine with that.[/sblock]

Sure I will activate my Harmonic Sword to give Cairn +2 to attack and Defenses TSNT as a Minor. Not spending my AP just yet.[/sblock]

The cyclops raises its massive bone arms above its head and slams down on Cairn but Filo activates the harmonics of his sword just in time which allowed Cairn to negate the force of the blow.

The skeletons keep up their incessant barrage. Only one arrow gets through again, Cairn's defenses being boosted to uncanny levels. One more skeleton draws his sword and rushes along the walkway.

[sblock=ooc]
Cyclops attacks Cairn. 23 vs AC, Misses due to cover and the sword bonus.

Skeleton 1 attacks Cairn, with a sword, 5 and 6 fire arrows. 6 hits 4 damage.

Skeleton 4 draws its sword and double moves to K4.[/sblock]

OOC: well, I actually thought hero would use sword + AP to hit with song of dawn, but since cyclops missed due to sword I'd say it was well spent Now if only I could roll above average damage that would fasten the encounter for about a round

Filo held his sword up high and called upon the light of the sun to burn the cyclops and....nothing happened. "Hmm perhaps we are too far underground?" he muttered in chagrin. "Ah well if first you don't succeed." he continued and belted out a high piercing tone that reverberated his foes bony bodies.
Hairline cracks started to form on the Cyclops itself and the skeleton nearest to Cairn blew apart into so much dust. Seeing his opening Filo then hustled his way over to Cairn and dived between his rocky legs.
