(Adventure) The Burning Tower (Knight Otu Judging) [Concluded]

[SlagMortar]

Nars will aid another again for Lady Fant.

OOC: I thought of the two-weapon fighting, but also noted "aid another" was a standard action.

 

[Dalamar]

OoC: Grappling doesn't involve going prone, you know. Rodimus wouldn't be rolling on the floor unless he absolutely had to

IC: Rodimus graps a strong hold of the armor and drags it with him inside the room.
"Rope? Tie this down."

 

[Patlin]

Rodimus graps a strong hold of the armor and drags it with him inside the room.

Rodimus manages this, but in order for the rope or rod to be brought into play he will probably need to pin the armor, possibly even for two consecutive rounds. (Note: this was between Gorefoot and Ishmaels actions noted previously)

Morulas joins the grapple, attempting to pin the armor, and succeeds.

Persephone positions herself next to the wrestlers, rod in hand.

While the pinned armor struggles lucklessy, the other takes a swing at Fant. It's luck isn't any better, and it misses.

ooc: As Gorefoot has indicated he will have limited access, I'm going to fill in for him here.

The pinned armor is right next to Gorefoot again, since Rodimus moved it. He swings at it and misses, then uses a single move action to get halfway to the more active opponent. (No AOO as the pinned armor doesn't threaten an area; he should be able to move and attack next round.)

Rodimus is next...

Initiative order for reference:

Nars
Gorefoot
Rodimus
Ishmael
Fant
Morulas
Persephone
Animated Armors

 

[SlagMortar]

OOC: Did Nars succeed in his second attempt to aid Fant in her attack?

 

[Patlin]

OOC: Did Nars succeed in his second attempt to aid Fant in her attack?

Oops. Yes! Nars distracts the armor, providing Fant an opening...

 

[Dalamar]

Rodimus pins the armor in place.

 

[nimisgod]

Ishmael continued to rain blows upon the armor in front of him. He realized that he did not inflict much damage to his opponent. But he would delay the suit as long as he could so that Gorefoot or someone similarly powerful could bring it down.

 

[Patlin]

Rodimus pins the armor in place.

With Rodimus and Morulas both pinning it, one of the animated suits of armor is essentially out of the combat.

Ishmael hits the armor, but fails to damage it.

Fant skillfully knocks the halberd out of the animated enemies hand.

[OOC: At this point the party seems to have things well under controll. Does anyone object to speeding things up a bit? If not, some additional furious struggle follows, ending with two hogtied suits of armor lying more or less intact but out of commision...]

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

OOC: I'd say play it out a bit. Unless I'm mistaken, even a disarmed animated object has a slam attack. Do we have rope, anyway?

IC: With the weapon lying on the ground at its feet, Fant's next job is to get the weapon out of reach. And since picking the weapon off the floor from under her enemy's feet would prove... problematic, at best, she will have to remove the enemy from the weapon. She raises her shield, leans forward, and runs into the animated suit of armor, trying to push it back into the room it came from and leaving Nars or Ishmael to scoop its weapon off the ground.

ooc: Bull rush. Strength bonus is +2.

 

[Patlin]

As you preffer...

Morulas continues to grapple with the armor, and Persephone manages to wedge the immoable rod into position and actiate it. While the rod isn't enough to pin the armor in and of itself, it does impose a -5 penalty on any further grapple attempts the armor makes.

The first armor wrestles feebly, while the second armor picks up its halberd once more, provoking attacks of opportunity from Fant and Ishmael... (please indicate how you would like to use the AOOs)
