HM's Carrion Crown AP - IC

[HolyMan]

The corner of the wall plays havoc with Kee's attempts to bring down the skeleton. Had the wall not been there she knows she would have crushed the gangly undead to dust.

The skeleton slowly tries climbing back unto it's fleshless feet, but Halál stops it with a mighty blow from his axe.

The other skeletons continue to rake, claw, and even bite at the warriors. And no one is truly safe from a wicked claw or being caught by a stray bone spur.

[sblock=OOC] Used IC to save on the rolling headache. Looks like Marshan was hit for 4pts dmg, Halál was hit for 5pts dmg, and Firvin was hit for 3pts dmg was saved from assault by an AoO. Should have rolled that first - Now I need to go change the map.

Firvin is up and then the mighty Piper...who will he target next? [/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

Firivin bids her time waiting for a chance when she can move.

Loh moves away from the congested hallway and let's her horsechopper drop. She then draws her flail and readies herself for some skeleton bashing. <Moves to G-19>

OOC: Kee delays as everyone is in here way atm. Boys are up, and don't forget Will save DC 14 to avoid being shaken before your round starts.

Marshan steps in to flank the next skeleton with Halal and crushes this one with another close punch with the cestus.[sblock=actions]5' step to C20, std: offhand cestus again, move: regrip hammer.[/sblock]

Now free to concentrate on one foe only Halal turns to confront the remaining skeleton, drawing a throwing axe for his off hand as he spins. He feints with his WarAxe, swinging in a high whistling arc . . . his follow up blow with the throwing axe is weak, however, and barely manages to take a sliver from the skeleton's ribs. The incessant music of the piper and the atmosphere combine with the Dwarf's frustration regarding his lack of battle prowess today, and he finally succumbs to the creeps.

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Firvinianna let her song linger in the air, echoing its courageous reverberations. Stepping away from the skeletons, she asks, "Where's the music coming from? And why isn't Toddy doing anything?"

She points her finger at the skeleton and disrupting white ray of light heads toward it.

Firvinianna Laali

 

[HolyMan]

Only one skeleton remains standing as the group gathers itself and acts. And this one looks like it won't last for long as Kee move cautiously around the corner and the skeleton lashes out at her, but she easily brushes the clawed hand away. She moves till she is ready to flank the skeleton.

Ignoring the threat since it seemed to move away the skeleton turns it's attention back to the wounded dwarf. It claws at his eyes and neck drawing blood from several deep scratches, before it's hit by Firvin's light and it's mouth opens in a soundless scream.

Not enjoying the baleful dirge Firvin's eyes dart left and right, up and down, looking for the flute player. Then she starts to feel a coldness about her as if some unseen hand has taken a hold of the back of her neck.

[sblock=Combat Crunch]
INIT order
Skeleton - rolling
Piper - rolling target
Halál - is up
Toddy - held round 3 of 4
Marshan -
Firvin -
Loh -
Kee-

inspire courage is in effect (last lingering round)

Notes
a) added wrong dmg modifier to claw attacks (should have been +2) dmg to Halál is 7 pts.
b) had to roll Firvin's save to see if the music effected her to see if the she had a -2 to her upcoming save vs hold person - she does so need a Will Save at +3 from her
c) sorry for delays weekends aren't my best posting time
d) think I got in everything[/sblock]

[Maidhc O Casain]

Halál growls in frustration at his continued lack of effectiveness . . . this is not what a dwarf expects from himself when using an axe! He sets his feet and a look of grim determination settles in as he sees his ally helping him box the bones; his axes become whirring blades of death as they slam into the lone remaining skeleton again and again . . .

[sblock=Actions]

• Standard: Attack (WarAxe/Throwing Axe) (1d20-2=18, 1d20-2=18)
  Crit Confirm (WarAxe/Throwing Axe) (1d20-2=11, 1d20-2=15)
  Damage (WarAxe/Throwing Axe) (1d10+2=9, 1d6+1=5, 1d10+2=10, 1d6+1=4)
  Crit Damage (one more time for the WarAxe!) (1d10+2=6)
  Precision Damage (1d6=6, 1d6=6)

So, either 26, 30, or 42 Damage, depending on either or both of the Crit Confirms hitting . . . I guess I won't gripe about that round

Will Save (1d10+2=4) (Wasn't sure if the effect from the piper stacks - if so, the Dwarf is screwed . . .)

After Halal deals with the last skeleton at the back of the pack, Marshan moves to the front of the pack searching for the piper. Using the power of nature's wrath to deal with the abomination, a wave of positive energy sweeps across the room.

Toddy tricks the magic and slips free. "It's right there boss!"

Firvinianna resists the enchantment and keeps moving. Putting away her longbow, she steps up beside Toddy asking, "Where is it?"

(If possible) She points her finger at the piper and a disrupting white ray of light heads toward it.

Firvinianna Laali

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: Since Toddy is no longer affected by the hold person he can no longer see the Piper.

The whole group notices as the dirge skips a note or two after Marshan let's out a burst of positive energy. But it picks back up after a moment and continues it's mournful song.

[sblock=OOC] Combat is over (technically) but the Piper is still about. And combat could start up again.

The Piper has total concealment from the disrupt undead. And can only be truly targeted when someone is under it's effects - being held or the round after (which is when Firvin attacked) - as that is when it manifests.

Just need a regroup and what you all wish to do next.[/sblock]
