Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

[Steve Gorak]

Did you miss the part where Dyria killed him and ucked him into the Banesword?

OCC: I wasn't sure whether the "one final time" meant that her action was over or the thing was killed..l (i.e. "Slashing accross his lower body (41dmg), then again accross his upper body (43dmg), then one final time into his chest".)

IC: With a sigh of relief and hoping someone has healing magic left & gets to Timrin, Murdoch will fly up to about 30 ft, and will go wild with his vitriolic eldrich blast, alternating between his eldrich spear (250ft range), his arcing blast (to support companions in combat) and his eldrich cone. He'll target nearby foes to clear out a path, then he'll focus on seige crafts and large equipment the horde is using.

Barnak stays close to Murdoch and directs his summonned monster to provide support to the rest of the group. He'll the target seige towers & crafts with fireballs.

Alethia stays and gets both stabalized and healed up so they can go kill bad things.

"Shall we concentrate our attacks on one giant at a time? Shando fires up his Holy Radiance and turns towards the approaching giants. "Surrender your weapons,quit the field of battle and return to your homes or die. The choice is yours.

The giants do not comply. One charges in your direction (he does not get to attack yet), while the other three throw large rocks at Kayla while stepping forward. She takes some hits, but starts running towards them anyway.


Meanwhile, Dyria and Timrin are healed into positives.

Murdoch notes that there are clear enough paths for the group that killed the BBEG, and he and Barnak start to blowing up seigeworks.

The giant seige monster is still alive, though Shando and Kayla have cut off its supply lines.

Meanwhile, it seems that the city's defenses have in fact been deactivated, and both sides are exchanging heavy seige weapon fire and arrow volleys as orcs move over on rafts and makeshift bridges, though some are destroyed by outgoing fire from the city. The forve bridge between the city and the shore suddenly rises from the river, and attackers begin to stream over to engage its defenders directly.

Alethia makes sure that she and her two patients are fully healed before sending all three of them back into the fray.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando will attack starting with Stunning Fist/Fist of the Pharos if the other giants are close enough with a flurry.

Flurry: +25+25+25+20+15 (unarmed)
Unarmed damage: 4D6+7 (+2d6+1d4 vs Evil)
Stunning fist DC: 24

The forve bridge between the city and the shore suddenly rises from the river, and attackers begin to stream over to engage its defenders directly.

OCC: Force or forge? Is the bridge made of metal? Could a series of stone wall (as per the spell) be cast onto it, to slow down the horde's progress and create easy targets (when they climb over the walls)?

Force. You could put walls on there though.

Force. You could put walls on there though.

OCC: Kewl!

IC: Murdoch nods at Barnak. The gnome will cast wall of stone on the force bridge, as high as possible. He'll do this repeatdly, if need be, so that the wall is 20 feet high.

Murdoch will then position himself on the other side (to get shielding from missiles) and hammer those that get on top of the wall with his blasts (his cone will likely be more useful).

He'll still take opportunistic strikes at any siege device he sees (using eldrich spear, 250ft range)

Hopefully, this will slow the horde's advance.

The blizzard quite suddenly subsides.

The war wizards on both sides go at it. There are many explosions just inside the city, and many fireballs and other energy attacks destroy invaders, especailly on the bridge. The manticores and thier riders attacks the city with spines, arrows, and fireballs.

Alethia heals the others.

Murdoch and Barnak do as stated. The horde gets delayed on the bridge, giving the defenders more of an advantage.

Only one giant is close to Shando. In fact, the giant is charging him still, and slams ito him, throwing him back ten feet (25dmg). Shando cant make a full attack now, but he does get to move forward (tumble check sucessful to avoid AOO), ducking under the stone giant's powerful but slow punch, and jumping into the air, uppercutting the giant. (35DMG +stun)

Kayla is headed towards two others when the othe rone on Shando's side that hung back picks up a rock and hurls it at her ,scoring a direct hit form behind. She falls face-down in the snow.

 

[kirinke]

Alethia looks at the others. "Ready to face the fire again? Sounds like they need us." she said after taking a swig from her own decanter of endless water and corking it before putting it back. "I hate war," she added and got up.
