Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

[frostrune]

Rd 3

OOC: Doesn't look like I have missed much of the fight. I should be back to regular posting now.


IC: Jokad sets his jaw against the pain. The coppery taste of blood fuels his rage as he continues to hammer away at the monstrosity that was Aldern Foxglove.



OOC: Init 16, hit AC 15 (with flank) for 13 sword + 6 fire dmg. Probably a miss. Roll Lookup

Here's another couple FORT saves. Don't know if I used both from last post or how many more I need. Easily made the first 29, failed the 2nd 16.

AC 21, HPs 44/58

 

[Rhun]

PLACEHOLDER FOR DANTH...I will get a post up this morning.

 

[hewligan]

OOC: I wanted to wait for Rhun, but I will just go ahead and proceed things when I get home from work today (so late afternoon US time). Apologies for the delay.

The Skinsaw Man, Round 3

OOC: Init order - Aldern (25, Jokad (16), Jovik (9), Kael (7), Danth

Aldern is a blur of speed and aggression, powering into Jokad like he too has somehow become infected with the barbarian's fury. This, of course, is exactly what Jokad likes in his combatants - the anger plays into his hands as Aldern anger carries his attacks wayward. Jokad bats each move aside with ease, knowing where the strikes are coming. (Jokad sets his jaw against the pain. The coppery taste of blood fuels his rage as he continues to hammer away at the monstrosity that was Aldern Foxglove.

Jokad sets his jaw against the pain. The coppery taste of blood fuels his rage as he continues to hammer away at the monstrosity that was Aldern Foxglove. But despite the ease with which he threw Aldern's attacks aside, he finds the ghoul managing to do the same to his. Perhaps it is the stench, perhaps the pain of his wounds.

It is just not coming together for Jovik. He has never faced anyone so horrific before. The goblins made easy foes. Heck, even the ghouls and Aesha were bearable, but this man, this twisted thing with the face of Jokad, was somehow too much. He threw Gull's Wing again, but once again it spun lazily against the distant wall. He had never been this inaccurate before, not since the time he accidently took the leg off of Mister Trunap's cat.

Kael watches the two Jokads pummel and strike at one another like a blur of cloth and muscle. He is calm. He is steady. He can feel the magical focus strong within himself, and he knows that he can take this monster down. He sends forth a stream of magical bolts that strike into Aldern, causing him to gasp in pain. The ghoul turns to Kael and spits forth a thick globule of blood and phlegm. His face, the twisted mirror of Jokad, is broken by the long tongue that darts out and licks his lips.

"You are next, wizard!" Aldern shouts across to Kael. "And then I'll eat your poodle!"

OOC: Aldern now at - 73hp
OOC: Init and actions for round 4. If Rhun doesn't post in time I am afraid he loses his actions for Round 3.

 

[Fenris]

Jovik, still sick, looks at Aldern, "Hey bub, I ain't no poodle."


Tired of missing, Jovik decides to lend Jokad a more, direct, hand. Jovik dives under the big Shoanti's legs and rolls passed ALdern appearing behind him, now flanking the man drives Goblin hook at him, but being so close to the stentch makes his balde go wide yet again.
[sblock=OOC]
Init
1d20+3=13

Tumble
1d20+9=25
I applied the -2 for being sick to the Tumble roll too


Attack
1d20+7=14, 1d4+1d6+2=6

Gezz!

Well Jokad has a flanker now at least.

Hey is Aldern vulnerable to sneak attacks?

Hey is Aldern vulnerable to sneak attacks?

Nope. Sorry! He is about as undead as a ... a ... ach, look, he is undead in a "I am a big bad super-ghoul" sense with stinking rotten vital organs that he doesn't take much care of.

OOC: I figured as much, but the sneak-attack specialized rogue had to ask

 

[frostrune]

OOC: Couple things... I don't think there is a square for Jovik to occupy behind Aldern because Danth summoned a celestial Bison which should be making his attack in rd 3.


Round 4

IC: Jokad finally speaks and it is slow and deliberate despite his rage fueled offensive. "You will never make it past me. Your time is near," his voice is so cold it gives the undead pause.


OOC: Bad time for the dice to go cold. Hit AC 16 (w/flank) for 11 sword and 3 fire dmg Roll Lookup

Yeah, but the Bison did not attack in round 3 as Rhun did not post, so if Jovik wants he can move between Aldern and the Bison, but then it rules out the chance of the Bison attacking. Hmmm, not sure which approach is best.

 

[Rhun]

Sorry guys, again as I stated in my OOC post, my internet has been spotty. It should be back to normal after this weekend. Everytime I think I have a decent connection, I lose it.
