CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

Combat, round 4

Round 3 update in post 1386 above

The two turned ghouls continue to flee.

Coraine steps forward, trampling the now-inanimate corpse of his foe, and attacks again. He easily forces down the nausea he feels at the stench of these new ghouls, and swings his axe fiercely. As mighty as his blow is, though, the target once again elludes the strike, avoiding harm. Then, one of the ghouls leap at him, clawing and biting. The undead hisses in frustration, though, unable to penetrate the paladin's fine armor.

The second ghouls savagely claws and snaps at Dara. It too fails to find flesh as its strikes are turned away by the barbarian woman's mithril shirt.

Ragnok ignores the horrible smell and charges heedlessly past Dara, drawing an attack from the nearest ghoul. Somehow, its teeth penetrate the dwarf's armor. Though the wound is minor, the dwarf is unable to overcome the paralysis that quickly comes over his body, leaving him helpless.

The pudgy halfling springs forward into the room, his muscles back under his control. He wings a dagger overhand through the doorway, striking the undead creature, but failing to penetrate its dried, hardened flesh.

"Smell that?" Kurt asks. "That's the stench of the dead fearing death," he adds with satisfaction. "Always happens when they get 'the treatment'." Kurt allows Coraine, Ragnok and Dara to pursue the fleeing ghouls. Sheathing his longsword, Kurt waits to shepherd Otto and Verdis after the others.

But hearing the battle joined in the next room, Kurt moves to get a better view. Seeing Ragnok in trouble, Kurt decides to intervene. "Oh, some more of you needing the treatment!" he utters, before grasping his holy symbol of Heironeous and purging the ghouls. They scream in pain, but stay on their feet.

Excited with his success Verdis lets the crossbow hang from the shoulder strap and makes the arcane gestures necessary to let fly a blast of Eldritch energy at the ghoul who just took a bite out of Ragnok. The blast of energy narrowly misses the target.

Dara is set back for a moment as she sees Ragnok fall victim to the ghoul's poison. She steps further into the room, as she swings her falchion at the closest undead once more, keeping her blade between herself and her opponent. Her falchion tears dead flesh, opening a gaping hole in the creature's side. It glares at her evilly and starts to hiss, and then stubmles and collapses.


Round 4 actions? Otto is no longer paralyzed.

[sblock=OOC]5 foot step to G84. Another 3 point Power Attack, followed by Cleave. :lol: [/sblock]
 

Verdis

OOC: Did Verdis get a shot at one of the ghouls? If not he'll try again to line up a shot. If he did then he'll drop the crossbow in favor of an eldritch blast.

Yes, he killed one. Is kill the right term to use when the target is already dead?

OOC: Sorry, don't know how I missed it the first time.

[sblock=OOC]+6 Eldritch Blast Ranged Touch 2d6 20/x2 60' r (+1 to hit and damage within 30')[/sblock]
 

Dara

Dara is set back for a moment as she sees Ragnok fall victim to the ghoul's poison. She steps further into the room, as she swings her falchion at the closest undead once more, keeping her blade between herself and her opponent.


OOC: Combat Expertise 2 (AC 23). Attack Ghoul #10 (Atk +1 Dmg 2d4+1).
 

Combat, round 5

Round 4 updated in post 1391.

The two fleeing ghouls are completely out of sight. Where they have gone and what their intentions are other than fleeing, nobody can guess.

Coraine slashes at the last remaining ghoul, and the powerful blow from his axe cleaves into the creature, and it falls to the floor in a moldering pile of decayed flesh.

Kurt grins as he moves to check on Ragnok. He pats him on the shoulder. "Won't be long now," he says.

"I never seen so many of the blighters in one place," he comments. "This is the place to be doing Heironeous' work," he adds while nodding his head in self-agreeance, obviously pleased with his fate in being sent here to help.
