[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 4891284, member: 79945"] The halfling looks back and forth between the two killers flanking it. [color="MediumTurquoise"]"Ah, s***,"[/color] it mutters. [color="MediumTurquoise"]"I'm not being payed enough for [i]this[/i]."[/color] Suddenly it dodges towards Tristan and kicks him in the kneecap, knocking him momentarily off balance. As Tristan regains his balance, it spins and runs past blade, ducking under the swing of his axe, which does barely more than part its hair. The halfling scampers through the woods, weaving between trees, until it reaches the side of the road directly across from where the bandit Tonk charged was concealed. Hanging from the trees here is another rope, identical to the one Tonk saw the bandit guarding. [color="MediumTurquoise"]"See ya!"[/color] the halfling calls across the road as he pulls on the rope. A taut line, concealed beneath the dirt of the road and running between the two clumps of trees, springs up as ropes give way with the SPROING of released tension. There's an ominous creaking in the trees as logs start to rumble. Streams of logs roll out from both sides of the road, meeting in the middle with a thundering crash. The falling logs roll right past Mikara - and the halfling curses again as he realizes he misjudged where she was standing - but Tonk is nicely kneecapped. He pitches over, barely landing on his knees instead of his back, and immediately bashed in the back of the head by an especially large log. It feels like being hit with a giant's club. As the logs roll to a halt, Tonk regains his feet. He's now standing in a bed of logs that cover the road and roll treacherously back and forth as he tries to walk across them. This might have been a very effective ambush if you'd approached on the road. [sblock=Status] Blade puts his Oath of Enmity on Halfling Slinger 1, moves to D13, and hits it with Avenging Echo for 9 damage. Halfling 1's Stone Rain [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2209417/]does not recharge[/url]. It shifts to D14, adjacent only to Blade (kicking Tristan was just flavour to explain how it got away from him), then moves. Blade gets an OA, which I'll just roll myself to keep things moving: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2209429/]19 to hit, 1 damage[/url]. The halfling forces him to reroll that with Second Chance: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2209430/]20[/url]. Well, at least the damage was low. Ok, it survives, moves to G18, and pulls the rope, setting off the deadfall trap. Logs tumble down, filling the brown square and [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2209579/]critically hitting Tonk for 14 damage[/url], bloodying him. The 3x3 brown square is now difficult terrain. Mikara's turn! (I'm ignoring Tonk's previously posted action since the situation has changed so much.) 23 - Halfling Slinger 1 at G18 ([color=Green]9 damage[/color], used Stone Rain) 19 - Mikara ([color=Lime]24/24 hp[/color]) 18 - Tonk ([color=Red]5/24 hp[/color]) 17 - Dextyr ([color=Lime]20/28 hp[/color]) 13 - Tristan ([color=Lime]24/28 hp[/color], Oath of Enmity on Halfling 1) [s]13 - Human Bandit 1 at L18 ([color=Red]47 damage[/color], used Dazing Strike)[/s] 12 - Blade ([color=Lime]25/29 hp + 4 thp[/color], enemies ending their turn adjacent and enemies that hit or miss Blade take 9 radiant damage until end of next turn) [s] 9 - Halfling Slinger 2 at J10 ([color=Red]29 damage[/color], used Stone Rain)[/s] [s]7 - Human Bandit 2 at B17 ([color=Red]46 damage[/color])[/s] [/sblock] [IMG]http://i30.tinypic.com/opdamp.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
