Skáth

Gavril has finished donning his armor, and he and Diddius are turning to descend. Athelstan is just finishing his preparations when he hears glass breaking down the hall. For the record, his room is the furthest from the stairs on the north side of the inn.

Everyone except Gavril, Diddius, and Athelstan are downstairs and need to make perception rolls at no modifier to hear the glass breaking over the wind outside. Illé and Eadon are keeping watch on the fireplace, Deasaigh is barricaded behind a turned up table wedged into the corner made by the south side of the fireplace and the west wall of the inn. The 'non-combatants' amongst the NPC's (which includes most of them -- those that would be of use in a fight are too ill from last night to help) are huddled into the northwest corner. I'm unclear right now on exactly where Béar and Cerallos are positioned. Gealach is propped against the wall in the northeast corner, and presumably Skáth is nearby as he was inspecting Gealach's wounds.

perception roll (1d6=2, 1d6=3, 1d6=5)

I would like to heal Gealach with some Fae healing, I will roll 3 die

heal on Gealach (1d6=1, 1d6=5, 1d6=3) - that should easily be successful.

actual healing of wounds is...

heal on Gealach (1d6=6, 1d6=1, 1d6=3)

OOC:

You did it perfectly! Your target number for the Healing Skill Check was 11- (17- for your skill, minus 6 for the three dice of power you used). Your nine succeeded admirably. You healed 10 STUN and 3 BODY - his leg is completely healed, leaving only his arm with a wound.

Now for the tough part - you used 6 END to perform this admirable feat, leaving you with only 4. Phase 3 would probably be a good time for you to keep your head down and recover.

Athelstan used 2 END for his swing -- he's just getting limbered up, and has 22 left.

Skáth

I will indeed find a good spot to hide and recover.

As I heal G. I will tell him, "There is more where that came from if you help us with these bones"

The Storm Breaks

The remaining skeleton in the hallway cocks a huge club back over his shoulder and lets fly a massive swing, but misses badly - Athelstan feels the breeze of the club past his chest and counts his blessings (OOC: would have done 5 BODY and 17 STUN had it connected).


We're now up to Phase 3 (Skáth and Athelstan).

OOC:

Mike, I've corrected my last post -- your recovery phase (should you chose to take one) will be Phase 3).

Gealach Crois

Gealach looks in nervous wonderment at the diminutive creature healing him.

"No need to bribe me - these abominations need to be whupped back to whatever grave they sprung from!"

Athelstan wasn't born in a barn

Hey! HEY! Swinging that thing at me before you even shake my hand?! Is that nice? Is that MANNERS?! I'll show YOU what the "salad fork" is!!

Thatwastooclosegottamakethiscounthitdembonesintheribesquickquick!


Without much more thinking, an enraged and slightly manic (slightly? ha-ha) Athelstan charges at the bone warrior, hoping for another successful flail-swing attack.


Athelstan rolls 3d6, getting [2,1,4] = (7) to hit

Athelstan rolls 2d6+4, getting [3,3,4] = (10) to chest cavity location

Athelstan rolls 2d6, getting [6,4] = (10) for damage

Gavril

Seeing his tactics fail and noting that Athelstan is making short work of the two foes, Gavril takes a defensive position at the bottom of the stairs and redies himself for the coming onslaught. He takes his dirk in his teeth and pulls a throwing dagger from a sheath. He cocks an arm and prepares to let fly at the first target to appear at the head of the stairs.

Skáth

OK... rest, both rounds

Cerallos...and the horse you rode in on

Cerallos moves over from the table he helped block the door with to the corner of the base of the stairs and clears the chairs out. He plans to have his back to the wall again having all the action in front of him. He then can size up each skeleton's head for a blow from his quarterstaff as they spill down the stairs, if they make it that far! He also has a clear view of the front door, the fireplace, and the door to the kitchen if they start coming in from that way.
He leans his javelin and quarterstaff against the wall and turns the table near the kitchen door over on its side and pushes it against the wall to have an obstacle between himself and the kithchen door. He takes another drink from his waterskin, picks up his quarterstaff and begins twirling it in different kinds of defensive and offensive moves and positions.

OOC: Mike, does the last flight of stairs that reach the ground level have rails or is it a solid wall/hand rail, do you know what I mean? Could you say, stick a staff through the rails on the stairs and trip, I don't know, the living dead? Just curious.

The Storm Breaks

Athelstan smacks the skeleton squarely in the chest cavity (and I do mean cavity). This one seems to be made of sterner stuff than its unfortunate counterpart, and keeps coming.

Skáth has crawled under one of the tables still upright and has collapsed to the floor. He's conscious, but breathing heavily and looks quite pale (ashy rather than charcoal).

Gealach is now standing to the side of the door to the kitchen, ready to defend that entrance.

Béar and Cerallos are at the bottom of the stairs, poised to defend either stairs or front entrance, and Gavril is standing at the bottom of the stairs ready for all comers.

The front door and a few of the windows in the common room begin to rattle and shake as though something were trying to force them from the outside (it may take a moment for the skeletons to realize they can simply unfasten the shutters and open them).

As near as I can tell, everyone posted for Phases 3 (Skáth and Athelstan) and 4 (Deasaigh, Cerallos, Gealach, Béar, and Gavril). That brings us to Phase 6 (Skáth is resting again, so that leaves Athelstan and the Skeletons . . .)

Everyone hears Athelstan growl in frustration, and the sound of more glass breaking comes clearly from up the stairs.
