Message: <blockquote data-quote="HeavyG" data-source="post: 265993" data-attributes="member: 431">The party vs the Undead hordes - round 1The halfling woman points at the passage mouth with her wand, trying to spot a priest amongst the ghouls.  Meanwhile, Ivellios weakly puts an arrow to his bowstring and shoots the nearest undead.  The arrow strikes the ghoul in the shoulder but it keeps coming. (5 damage for that ghoul)He’s quickly followed by Sollir, who puts a pair of arrows in the same ghoul, sending it to the ground twitching. (9 and 6 damage) As the ghouls charge, Ubaar releases an arrow at the leader and Murhid gets ready for them.  The barbarian’s arrow flies into the floor, probably because of stiffening fingers from the paralytic poison.It was while the priest was telling this motivating speech that the ghouls came charging, catching Jalon completely out of balance.The four ghouls charge at Murhid, Kytess and a flat-footed Jalon.  As they approach, a stench of death and corruption comes to the heroes, much worse than anything they have ever smelled before, making them gag and making it hard to breathe.  Most of the heroes get over it but Taz starts to have trouble breathing. (lucky on those saves, only Taz is nauseated.  Also, Ivellios and Ubaar weren’t in the area and will have to save if they approach.)The exchange is furious. Kytess uses her chain’s reach to slash a ghoul across the legs as it charges and then kills it with a head blow, and Murhid manages to punch a ghoul, but the undead manage to score slashes on the priest of Tyr as he tries to put up a defense and on the monk in their fearless assault.(Kytess, 7 and 10 points of damage, Murhid 4.  Murhid got a slash for 1 point of damage and Jalon got a nasty belly scratch for 4 points of damage)The close-in fighters can see that some of those ghouls look tougher than the others you have fought so far.Then the priest recovers from his unprepared state and focuses the might of Tyr on the undead.The ghouls look at Jalon’s holy symbol in fright.  Two of them hesitate for a moment before turning on the priest, intent on killing that servant of Good.  The other backs away and tries to put its arm in front of its eyes. (The turned ghoul is indicated on the map)And then another trio of the things come running and gibbering in sight.InitiativeTaz : 22Ivellios : 20Sollir : 12Kytess : 9Ubaar : 6Murhid : 6Ghoul : 6Ghoul : 2Jalon : -1And the status of the party :(The poison delay aren’t up to date, I’ll update them tomorrow morning and if any poison was supposed to take effect this round, it’ll be delayed one extra round.)(S) Sollir Furryfoot : Hp(21/21) (M) Murhid : Hp (13/21) 6 points of dexterity damage, ghoul poison (1 minute x2), ghoul poison (1 round), ghoul poison (11 rounds)(T) Taz : Hp (16/19), nauseated (-2 penalty to attacks, saves, and skill checks for 7 minutes, ghoul poison (1 minute)       Sheela : Hp (9/9), (I) Ivellios Nailo : Hp (16/35) 5 points of strength damage, Spider venom (1 minute)(U) Ubaar : Hp (13/28), 4 points dex damage, Endure fire (12 hours), Spider poison (1 minute), ghoul poison (1 minute x3)(K) Kytess : Hp (13/28) Endure fire (12 hours)(J) Jalon Odessa : Hp (10/24) 3 points dex damage, Endure fire (12 hours), ghoul poison (1 minute x3), ghast poison (1 round), ghast poison (11 rounds)</blockquote>
