End Game: Round 2:
[sblock=Previous Rounds]
Surprise Round
Round 1 [/sblock]
Quan enters a steady stance, not tipsy at all and strikes out. Two fall and others are struck at a distance by the spiraling monk. (HIT, HIT, HIT & HIT; missed skill roll)
Rikka's raven form flew quickly across the chasm- as she landed she shifted briefly into her elven shape. With a sharp gesture, she called a burst of freezing wind down upon the hidden sentry, freezing it where it had taken cover. Then she turned towards the other, stronger foes... (HIT)
Braddock shouts forward to the goliath, "Orsik, you know anything about rituals? The rat by the statue is trying to fight me on this." Sweat breaks out on Braddock's brow with the effort he is making, but this time the wererat wizard wins the round. Frustrated Braddock charges forward, and similar to his dwarven comrades demonstration, he clears the chasm with a mighty jump. (FAILURE)
"Not much. The elders know, but I didn't study it carefuly. And I have this thing to contend with. Can you hold it alone?" Orsik moves a bit aside and slams his maul onto rat guardian. (MISS)
| GM: | Since Quan already killed that minion, I’ll say that you moved to J14 and made your attack against wererat brute 1 |
|
Muzdum fails to resist the knockdown, but quickly comes back to his feet and cuts at the were rat brute. He also grabs him from the tail. "I did this to the were crocodile friend of yers, I think you'll enjoy it." Muzdum grins. However, that poisoned spear still slows him down, so he waits for a better opportunity. (HIT)
The remaining wererats all seem to wince and shake a little as their lycanthropic disease starts to speed their healing unnaturally (all regenerate 5 hit points, except the minions and wererat brute 1 & 2 (silver)).[FONT="]
[/FONT] Baldwin can only watch as his minions are torn to shreds by the valiant heroes.
”Fool of a mage, I need The Fury’s beast NOW! and with that he quickly leaps down the steps and charges Muzdum hoping to bite the red-bearded dwarf. He then lashes out with his rapier. (HIT; AP MISS)
Jessup hardly listens to Baldwin as it is immersed in its dire ritual. With a hiss of success, Jessup lowers its arms and steps back.
”It is done. The Fury’s child will walk soon!”. It turns its attention to the melee going on behind him and flings its vile magic at Braddock. (HIT)
The two remaining wererat minions count themselves lucky and vow to keep as much distance between themselves and their deadly foes. Both furiously load their crossbows and launch them at the elf-cat-bird. One minion chooses to take higher ground. (HIT & MISS)
The wererat brutes stay locked in combat with the heroes; one strike at Muzdum and misses, while the other concentrates on Orsik, hitting the goliath and knocking him prone. (MISS & HIT)
