From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[novyet]

Farah will move a few feet back and draw her crossbow, and attempt to ready a shot against a skeleton not in melee.

OOC --> I'm unsure of the other's actions so I'll just ready to shoot one that no one else engages.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

OOC: I had readied an action to shoot anything coming through the door. I'll stick with that.

With a determined look, Ash steadied his hand and loosed a crossbow bolt into the creature before him.

It occured to him that a crossbow wouldn't be very effective on these creatures. After his shot, he dropped his crossbow to the floor and grabbed his spear.

 

[Vargo]

Khaira moves up next to Lamont, and says "I'll try to beat down their guard so that you can get a hit in."

OOC: Khaira assists Lamont in attacking the skeletons, which IIRC should grant a +2 bonus to his attack.

 

[garyh]

Quendros fires his readied arrow, and then - like Ashrem - drops his bow as he realizes it will be of little use against these foes. He then will draw his sword and engage the skeletons in melee. He will continue to do so, unless a party member becomes seriously injured. If that occurs, he will use a CLW on them.

"For Corellon!!" shouts Quendros, as he lets his arrow fly.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

As the skeletons push outward from the room, Quendros' arrow flies between them.

The first skeleton moves between Lamont and Moon, but fails to hit Lamont with its claws. The second one stands in the doorway and strikes at Moon, also missing.

Khaira's attempt to aid Lamont is unsuccessful, as is his strike with the mace.

Moon's defensive strike against the first skeleton is the first hit. Although the dagger is not completely effective, it does some minor damage (2 pts).

Ashrem's shot with the crossbow flies true, but the bolt merely catches in the ribcage of the skeleton, doing no damage. Likewise for Farah's shot, another hit.

Yes, Moon, this is the way I would like it done.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Quendros moves forward and slashes the first skeleton with his sword (3pts).

The skeletons push a little further out of the room, attacking Lamont and Khaira. The third skeleton is now in the doorway and strikes Moon. Once again their feeble attempts to claw the party are averted.

Continuing with the second round...

 

[garyh]

OOC: I just remembered I'm playing a cleric. Quendros will Turn Undead his next action.

"By the grace of Corellon Larethian, back, back you foul mockeries of unlife!!"

 

[StalkingBlue]

Moon will continue to fight defensively. If Lamont and Moon are flanking a skeleton, he will attack that one, otherwise the skeleton he and Quendros have hit in the first round (if still within melee range).
If necessary (and possible), he will first take a single step to bring him into a flanking position with Lamont.

 

[Vargo]

Khaira continues to try to beat back the defenses of a skeleton for Lamont to get a good strike in.

 

[MeepoTheMighty]

Lamont will continue to beat things with his flail. If the thing he's beating stops moving, he'll move on to the next beatable object.
