Dungeon of the Fire Opal, part V

[reapersaurus]

*To Jalon, while dodging the undead's?? blows and looking for an opening to hack at* "Why don't you open up a can of Tyr's whoop-ass on these things, Jalon?
It looks like they can be affected by holy strength... I'd join ya, but I've got my hands busy!"

"Alright Ubaar, it's just you and me. We've gotta take down Mr.Bones here A.S.A.P. so we can get back up to help the others.")

"What say we go medeival on these bags o' bones, eh, brotha?"

Ubaar focuses his strength momentarily on his inner Thunderbeast.
In the blink of an eye, he shifts his power into almost super-human heights and sweeps his greatsword in a giant arc, attempting to hit the bony monster with all his force.

OOC: Rage. Attack with greatsword. Stand ground.

 

[HeavyG]

OOC: Oops! Havn't seen that! You're right then, of course!

Of course.

Just because of that, I'm not updating the game.

[PBP DM Nazi]
No update for you !
[/PBP DM Nazi]


Kidding.

Update tomorrow because the boards were down most of today and I have to go to sleep now.

Fight against the Boneys, round 2

Sollir scuttles forward to join the group, then sighs. "Gosh, more dead thingies..." He shoots a single arrow from his bow then, hoping that it will damage the creature.

Sollir hustles up to Murhid’s back, then easily makes the point-blank shot into the monster. It doesn’t affect the monster much, though, as it is made entirely of bones. (2 points of damage)

Then, the creature in Murhid’s face attacks, quick as lightning, with mechanical precision. The monk dives under the stabbing tail stinger and blocks a bony claw, but a second claw gets past his defenses and gouges a large wound on his right leg. (7 points of damage)

Kytess, failing to see an opening on the creature she was fighting, rushes to Murhid's side to attack that monster. (Charge, Power Attack for 1)

Charging to Murhid’s right, Kytess has no problem hitting the thing with her chain. In fact, it seems quite fearless and doesn’t put out much of a defense. However, the chain doesn’t have as much effect on the bone creature as it would have on a flesh-based one. (5 points of damage – also, in Kytess’ analysis, easy to hit)

At the same time, at the other end of the corridor, the large thing facing Ubaar and Ivellios hesitates, looking for an instant at the elf, then, the half-orc. Then it throws itself at Ubaar. It tries to stab its stinger at Ubaar, but it strikes the wall instead. Then, it slashes with one clawed hand, then the other. Ubaar receives a wound on his right arm from the first claw but gets his defense in place for the second blow and deflects it. (3 points of damage)

Shield is currently facing southwards (towards the first bone-thing) and should therefore protect against #3. When her initiative comes up, Taz will tumble to N6 and stab at #2, altho this won't do much.

(You’re right about that)

Taz pulls a fast one, tumbles away from Murhid’s opponent right next to Jalon’s. Then she stabs it with her dagger. She chips a minuscule bit of bone away. (1 point of damage)

"What folly is this? This beast's body is as hard as a rock."

"Alright Ubaar, it's just you and me. We've gotta take down Mr.Bones here A.S.A.P. so we can get back up to help the others."

*To Jalon, while dodging the undead's?? blows and looking for an opening to hack at* "Why don't you open up a can of Tyr's whoop-ass on these things, Jalon?
It looks like they can be affected by holy strength... I'd join ya, but I've got my hands busy!"
"What say we go medeival on these bags o' bones, eh, brotha?"

Ubaar focuses his strength momentarily on his inner Thunderbeast.
In the blink of an eye, he shifts his power into almost super-human heights and sweeps his greatsword in a giant arc, attempting to hit the bony monster with all his force.

The critter doesn’t even try to dodge. The sword hits it with great force, shattering bones. Its shoulder breaks off under the strain. (8 points of damage once adjusted)

Jalon once more channels the divine power of Tyr through his small silver wand, administering to Taz's wounds.

'By Tyr's name! More of the infernal beasts - Be on your guard!'

Jalon tries to follow Taz’s erratic tumbling about and ends up right in front of the monster’s doorway as he touches her with his wand and healing some of her wounds. (6 points of healing)

Murhid with his guard up starts with the entrance of the new foe, and tries best to defend himself from it, then attempts to swing a right hook into its face, followed by a kick to get it back into its 'cell'.

Both the blows land squarely. He jumps up to smash it’s skull in two, then kicks it right into its chest as he lands, breaking more runic-engraved bones. The thing staggers a bit, it’s attack momentum broken, but it quickly recovers, even though it doesn’t have a head anymore. (2 times 8 points of damage ! Not stunned, though.)

Then, Jalon’s creature takes advantage of the fact that he’s healing Taz. It’s stinger stabs into the cleric’s abdomen with great force, punching easily through banded mail. When the stinger retreats behind the monster, a spray of blood splashes Taz. The stinger didn’t pierce anything vital but it was close. (16 points of damage.)

The elf takes a step forward beside the creature as he continues to slash at it, this time using both blades in a flurry of swings.

A storm of flashing blades fall on the creature. Chips of bone fly everywhere. The creature staggers but holds on. It doesn’t look like it’ll take much more damage. (3 and 4 points of damage)

[HeavyG]

I Made a mistake. Ivellios is supposed to be one square down from where I put him.

 

[reapersaurus]

Ubaar hears, and sees the others attacking the monsters while in the doorway and suggests - "Maybe you all could back up a step and lead the bone-sters into the hall?
Me 'n' Ivellios'll come up behind 'em once we finish up here."

Ubaar yells his fury at the bony monster in front of him, while putting his back into this (hopefully last) swing.

OOC: Heavy, just wondering about the damage. With Magic Weapon on, and raging, Ubaar does (2d6+9)/2 + 1, right? Basically, is the MW damage added after dividing by 2 from using a slashing weapon, or before?

If Ubaar fells the creature this turn, he'll breathlessly suggest to Ivellios, "Go help da others! They don't got as much Strength as us..."

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Sollir sees himself not doing much damage, and quickly chants a prayer, asking for luck upon his party...

(Bless, no move action)

 

[Murhid]

Murhid starts working his way down the boney monstrosity's body, sending two wide swings into its chest.
"Stay down you filthy thing!!"

[OOC: Flurry of Blows]

 

[Taz]

OOC: Heavy, just wondering about the damage. With Magic Weapon on, and raging, Ubaar does (2d6+9)/2 + 1, right? Basically, is the MW damage added after dividing by 2 from using a slashing weapon, or before?

OOC: It's all added up, then halved. Magic Weapon damage is still slashing damage.

Taz stabs the bone-thing again.

“Thanks, Jalon, I'm ok now.”

 

[Doppleganger]

(OOC Scenario A)

After Ubaar drops the bone creature, Ivellios turns and charges back up the hallway, stopping (OOC square N-9) at Jalon's side where he slashes at the humanoid in the doorway.

(OOC Scenario B)

Seeing that the bone creature is still fighting, Ivellios stands his ground and continues his multi-weapon assault, thrusting boldly at the beast.

 

[Jalon Odessa]

Jalon recoils from the impact of such a monstrous blow, and doubles-over, clutching his chest. Gasping for breath, he begs Tyr to mend his wounds.

[OOC: 5-foot step to N10, and Jalon forgoes his remaining Inflict Light Wounds to cast Cure Light Wounds on himself.]
