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

[SlagMortar]

Seeing Gorefoot approaching, Nars will attempt to distract the armor to allow him a better strike as he appears to be the most capable of damaging these infernal contraptions. He thinks If only I had a sickle, I could try a trip this thing while its trying to grab its weapon. Live and learn.

OOC: On his action, Nars will "aid another" on Gorefoot's next attack. I think Nars gets an AoO as well, but won't take it as there is nothing he can do with it.

 

[nimisgod]

ooc: For Ishmael's AoO, just a normal power attack -2 (for +4 damage).


edit: Power attack applies to attacks in the round anyway. So I have no choice whether to power attack or not.

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Fant will attempt to keep the weapon out of its hands.

ooc: Does Nar's Aid Another attack still apply? I think it does. In any case, disarm again.

edit: Can you bull rush as an AoO? I don't think so, but if I can....

 

[Dalamar]

OoC: Rodimus has 50ft of rope, but he can't really reach it right now since it's in his backpack

OoC: Rodimus keeps the first armor pinned in place as long as it takes for somebody to produce something to tie it down with.

Fant will attempt to keep the weapon out of its hands.

ooc: Does Nar's Aid Another attack still apply? I think it does. In any case, disarm again.

edit: Can you bull rush as an AoO? I don't think so, but if I can....

friend gains either a +2 bonus on his next attack roll against that opponent

OOC: This is a new attack roll, so the +2 does not apply. Bull rush is apparently a standard action, or part of a charge, so it's not available. Disarm, happilly, is simply a melee attack and can be done as an AOO.

Ishmael smashes the armor for 2 pts of damage, and Fant knocks the halberd out of its hands again as soon as it picks it up. Nars holds off, plotting shrewdly rather than taking a careless swing.

Being stubborn and unintelligent, the armor tries to pick up its Halberd yet again. (OOC: This is a move action, he'll try it twice by using his standard action to that effect as well.) This also triggers an attack of opportunity, if Nars has changed his mind (neither Fant nor Ishmael have combat reflexes.)

Nars moves into position to flank with the incoming Gorefoot, and succesfully aids his next attack.

Gorefoot smashes the eastern armor with a mighty blow, doing 6 points of damage.

Rodimus keeps the western armor pinned.

Ishmael hits the armor again, failing to damage it.

Fant is up next...

[Manzanita]

Persephone

Persephone steps back after using her rod to assist in the pinning. "Hey, does anyone have any rope? I'll bet we could tie these things up."

Persephone is now in the study, is she not, where the first suit of armor emerged. She'll look around in there to see if there's anything interesting or useful.

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Seeing the group has the situation well in hand, Fant decides to try and be more diplomatic than she might otherwise be. If the group was actually in any danger, she would quickly destroy the mindless guardians; as it is, she thinks it worth the trouble of bringing them in unharmed.

"Try to keep these things intact; we should try to minimize property damage," says Fant, again trying to knock the weapon out of the thing's hands. "Does anyone have anything to bind them with?" she echoes.

 

[Zweischneid]

"Try to keep these things intact; we should try to minimize property damage," says Fant, again trying to knock the weapon out of the thing's hands. "Does anyone have anything to bind them with?" she echoes.

Despite the blood seeping from the gash the Construct inflicted, Morulas still struggles to keep the guardian well pinned to the floor (trying to pick up some clues from the professional looking hold Rodimus has put on the thing).

With a strained expression he responds
"I shall remember to bring some manacles the next time I go fight a fire, but right now I am afraid I don't have anything useful."

Pushing down the Armors leg once again more firmely the elf adds
"And could someone please inflict some 'property damage' on this wailing puppet? It's certainly not making my life any easier here!"

--------

Ooc:
Assisting Rodimus with the grapple for now, or pinning, or whatever it was that Morulas was doing..(Grappling rules ain't my field of expertise)

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

"Does anyone have anything to bind them with?" she echoes.

"...no?" says Fant, assuming no one pipes up. "Never mind, then. Smash them." The wizard, I'm sure, has more to worry about than a lost guardian or two, and has little ground to complain considering the current way his experiments are threatening the city. She continues her current attempts to disarm, however; it seems effective in keeping the constructs occupied while those capable of more powerful swings destroy them.

 

[SlagMortar]

OOC: Nars will continue to "aid another" for Gorefoot until the situation changes. He will also try to maintain flanking position with Gorefoot.
