CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Rhun]

Combat, round 2

Round 1 updated in Post 1376.

With the ghast laying dead on the floor, the ghouls begin to flee before Hieroneous' power. Coraine takes a swing at one as it flees, but clips the jam of the door with his axe, spoiling his aim. Amazingly, Ragnok makes the same mistake, taking a chunk from the door jam with his own axe as he too tries to put the ghoul down.

The turned ghouls begin making their way through the north door, fleeing Kurt's divine power.

"Blast! Watch out - there may be more ... watch your backs!" Coraine leaps through the door and pursues the ghouls which are fleeing northward. Coming up behind the rearmost, he plants his feet firmly and swings at its mottled back. The axe tears through corrupt flesh, cleaving the ghoul's spine, and ending its undeath permanently.

With a loud battlecry, Ragnok steps through the door and brings Norryjar to bear against the nearest ghoul. The creature doesn't stand a chance in the face of dwarven rage, and Ragnok's sure strike sends its head bouncing across the floor.

Kurt calls after the fleeing undead as he enters the room after Coraine and Ragnok. "Yes! Flee the might of Heironeous!". Knowing that there are more undead through the north door, he patiently waits for the reinforcements to arrive before blasting them with Heironeous' power once more.

Kurt doesn't have to wait long as the reinforcements surge from the north chamber. He surge of power staggers the undead, but isn't quite enough to stop them. The first two rush through the door, snapping with their crooked, yellowed fangs. Both are still off balance from the blast of celestial energies, and neither find their mark.

Two other ghouls close ranks behind the first two.

Verdis moves through the door and past Ragnok, loading his crossbow as he goes.

Dara rushes forward, still somewhat sick from the smell of the now-dead ghast. Still, she swings her falchion boldly, and cuts down another of the undead.

"Blast! Watch out - there may be more ... watch your backs!"

Coraine leaps through the door and pursues the ghouls which are fleeing northward. Coming up behind the rearmost, he plants his feet firmly and swings at its mottled back.

[sblock=OOC]Move to F86. Attack +8, damage 1d8+4, x3[/sblock]

 

[Legildur]

Kurt calls after the fleeing undead as he enters the room (to somewhere near F86 with line of effect through the north and west doors, but being careful not to close within 10ft of any turned ghouls) after Coraine and Ragnok. "Yes! Flee the might of Heironeous!". Knowing that there are more undead through the north door, he patiently waits for the reinforcements to arrive before blasting them with Heironeous' power once more. [move to ~F86, Ready Action for Sacred Purification <1d8+2 heal/damage within 60ft> once undead close from north door]

 

[Insight]

Otto remains paralyzed.

OOC: Glad to see I missed absolutely nothing last week

Combat, round 3

Two of the ghouls continue to flee, rushing through yet another door, as even more of their companions become visible.

Boldly stepping forward, Coraine aims a savage blow against the closest ghoul. Sadly, the ghoul sidesteps the strike, leaving the paladin in a dreadful position...surrounded by three of the foul undead!

The two new ghouls step through the now open door and close in behind the ranks of their brothers, but are unable to get into a position to attack.

Ragnok steps into the area recently vacated by Coraine, and aims Norryjar between the paladin and Kurt. The two-handed strike of the waraxe is dead on, cleaving deeply into the ghoul's rotting flesh. As the mighty dwarf tears the weapon free, bits of flesh and gore come free with it, splattering himself, Kurt and Coraine with gore.

Otto remains paralyzed.

Kurt sneers as he sees the damaged state of ghouls. "How was Heironeous blessing? Did you enjoy that?" he asks rhetorically of the undead before him as he draws his longsword. "Now try some of the cold steel treatment!" he says as he steps forward over the body of the ghoul slain by Ragnok, and strikes with his longsword. Already weakened by the might of Hieroneous, the creature cannot stand before the cleric's wrath, and falls before his blade.

Verdis again snaps up his crossbow and sends a bolt flying into the next chamber, streaking past Coraine to bury itself deep into a foe's chest. The ghoul clutches at the bolt and then slumps over as the foul necromancy holding its body together fades away.

Dara rushes past her companions into the next chamber. As she closes on the last two aggressive ghouls, she is once again nearly overcome by their foul stench. Still, she is already sick from earlier, and the vile smell hardly weakens her any more. Her falchion cuts through the air, but misses the closest foe as it ducks beneath the strike.

[Boddynock]

OOC: Rhun, if Coraine steps up to the doorway does he get a shot at one of the ghouls in the other room? If so, he'll take a 5 ft step, Power Attack #7 for 3 points and then cleave #8 or #9. If it's clear that he can't reach through the doorway, he'll content himself with a normal attack on #7.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis will continue to move looking for a clear shot with his crossbow.

 

[Legildur]

Kurt sneers as he sees the damaged state of ghouls. "How was Heironeous blessing? Did you enjoy that?" he asks rhetorically of the undead before him as he draws his longsword. "Now try some of the cold steel treatment!" he says as he attacks whatever ghoul might be still standing. (ooc: longsword +7 for 1d8+3)

ooc: Rhun, I know that to turn undead Kurt is required to "present his holy symbol". How do you usually handle that for heavy armor/shield equipped clerics? I've assumed that he has a holy symbol hanging around his neck, which is why he now needs to draw his longsword to attack, as the other hand is busy with the heavy shield.

I do require the holy symbol be presented, so if you have it around your neck you would need your free hand to "present it." With that said, I have absolutely no problem with a PC mounting an extra holy symbol to their shield so that they can present it while using both shield and weapon.
