Message: <blockquote data-quote="UniversalMonster" data-source="post: 2528896" data-attributes="member: 1034">(Updated map coming soon if we need it!)Initiative Order: Arvin: 23Bahuman: 19Troll: 13Yarin: 8 Kytheria: 7Alek: 6Arvin dashes forward, his two swords spinning and flashing with lethal ferocity as he closes in under the Troll's guard. The troll swipes with one mighty claw and connects solidly to Arvin's shoulder! Arvin is thrown to one side and cut slightly, but quickly recovers himself and drives forward with his own whirling attack. Two gaping slashes are carved across the troll now, and a bright green sap-like blood oozes freely from the puckered wounds. The troll bellows in pain. The troll got his attack of Opportunity when Arvin moved forward. He rolled a <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=142106" target="_blank">27</a>! (Not a critical threat, but almost...). Arvin takes <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=142107" target="_blank">9</a> points of damage.Arvin's attack results in a <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=142108" target="_blank">21 and a 29</a>. The second strike was a critical threat.  Unfortunately, the follow-up was a natural <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=142114" target="_blank">1</a>. Arvin does <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=142117" target="_blank">8 and 12 damage</a> for a total of 20. The troll is still up! Bahuman suddenly shouts "Feel the full might of my axe, greenskin!" and slams into the troll with a deadly overhead hack from his deep crystal greataxe. The axe catches the troll across the shoulder, and slices the monstrous giant in a vicious slash. The troll spins backwards and collapses against a tree. Bahuman rolls a <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=142122" target="_blank">32</a>! Unfortunately the Greataxe crits on a 20, instead of a 19. Nevertheless, Bahuman did another <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=142123" target="_blank">27</a> points of damage. Most of the damage here was done by acid. It is dead. Most sincerely dead.(OOC, This went very well for a tryout! But we also learned that I need you to be very specific about your actions. I didn't realize Alek wanted to cast his spell and not just prepare it, for example. Part of the difficulty is the medium of play-by-post, and I will take the blame for the rest. So be specific- write your turn however descriptive you want to, but then include your actions in terms I can understand as a DM such as "I want to move to this square and cast X". If you want, just put them as an OOC note.)Osbry clears his throat and takes out a flask of firewhiskey. "Well, that's sorted." He takes a sip and then hands off his flask to Kytheria before fumbling in his satchel for a worn leather notebook. "I believe I may have some.. yes.. ah. Here we are." he mutters paging through a selection of clippings, sketches, notes and scrawled maps. "Be on the lookout for escaped Troll fugitive, wanted for murder and mayhem most savage.., jumped ship in Honeymarsh Port. Reward: 200 gold. Hmm. Not much for such a bruiser, but I guess they have to pay what they can afford. Oh I say, are you alright, Arvin?" He folds the paper up and takes back his flask. "You can all collect at the Bursar's office, I believe. School tradition is a shared bounty. Oo, ought to have that looked at, Arvin."Bahuman and Arvin notice a worn canvas bag behind the tree the troll stepped out from behind. It contains a dusty flask of 'Marberry's Standard Cure-All" (a cure light wounds potion), and a pair of tatty-looking scrolls sealed with beeswax.</blockquote>
