Into the Woods

[mips42]

Gertrude looks at Terry with burning eyes for a brief moment, then turns to Albrecht. She seems to pull inside herself for a moment. Then, with a horrible squelching noise, spews forth a disgusting mixture of noxious gas and phlegm!
The Zombie that Bimpnott shoved stands back up and shuffles back to the Firbolg again, but flails haplessly at him
A Zombie attacks Umbril but misses wildly.
A Zombie attacks Umbril but its fists cannot find purchase on the elf.

OOC: There is no possibility of the Zombie beating a 24 for the shove. Gertrude casts Poison Spray at Albrecht, who needs a con save or take 9 poison damage.

OOC: Albrecht CON save = 21. Success.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Albrecht has tasted foul things in his life, and little compares the the repulsive substance that the old hag lets loose. But he is dertermined not to die from a bad taste in his mouth. He hears her squeal as the hovering weapon connects, its sacred power bypassing all her defenses.

He turns momentarily to Bompnott, who he sees getting up. Will nothing stop that lumbering guardsman? he wonders, before he realises the answer is before him.

His axe is bloody, but the blood is his own, and the handle is slippingin his grasp. He feels there is little left in him. Perhaps this time the axe will connect, and perhaps the dying dwarf can still help.

OOC: Attack. 1d20+6=15. Damage = 1d10+4=7. HP 7/39.

Spell: Spiritual Weapon (5 rounds left)

Terry casts cure wounds on herself. Then attacks Gertrude again with her spiritual weapon, striking true again.

Cure Wounds: 2D8+5 = [8, 1]+5 = 14
Spiritual Weapon at Gertrude: 1D20+7 = [12]+7 = 19
1D8+5 = [6]+5 = 11

Ignoring the zombie that stubbornly refuses to stay down --which, come to think of it, is kind of its whole deal-- Bimpnott rushes forward to help his friend Albrecht with the hag.

Just when Terry's spiritual weapon strikes at Gertrude, the firbolg steps in to follow up with two punches to the evil woman's ribs.

"Please stop resisting arrest," he intones, his voice barely hiding his anger that has been brewing for a while now.

OOC: Move to Gertrude, possibly getting a OA from the zombie. Can I be in the same place as the spiritual weapon? Attack (martial arts): 1D20+7 = [15]+7 = 22 for 1D4+5 = [3]+5 = 8 bludgeoning damage 1D20+7 = [12]+7 = 19 for 1D4+5 = [1]+5 = 6 bludgeoning damage

 

[Neurotic]

Umbril considers swapping places with his echo again, but while zombies are dangerous and ghouls behind him are potentially dangerous, putting him and Albrecht in front of the witch simply invites disaster in form of some wicked spell.

And zombies are slow and he may deal with them once the witch falls.

He slices in front of the zombies, his echo slicing into the witch.

OOC: If she looks hurt enough to fall, @mips42, let me know, I have action surge

As Bimpnott rushes to the aid of Albrecht, the Zombie lashes out at the big Firbolg but connects only with air.
Gertrude, bloody and battered, snarls at the Bimpnott, "Laws are for others," and a burst of black, spectral blades surround her striking at Bimpnott and Albrecht!
The Zombie that Bimpnott left behind stamps over to Terry, being the next available target, and slams it's fists into her armor, briefly filling the room with a resounding clang but doing no real damage.
A zombie pounds on Umbril, striking hard and sending a resounding shiver through the elf's very bones.
a second zombie bashes on Umbril, this one also connecting!

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: Dex save vs DC 15= 1d20+4=13. FAIL. 0/39 HP.

Albrecht falls to the ground and ribbons of force tear through him.

This has been the longest minute of his life, it seems.

He thinks of the lost apprentice, the cruel house, the unopened treasure box in the next room, and, to his surprise, of Bimpnott, who had been a faithful companion in spite of their years of emnity as town guard and thief.

Terry stabs at the zombie with her rapier missing wildly. The spiritual weapon attack Gertrude again, smiting her hard.

"Albrecht!" Bimpnott yells as he sees his old friend fall, instinctively turning to Albrecht and, thus being a smaller target, avoiding the worst of the hag's magical attack.

Angrily he turns back to Gertrude and slashes out with his sword, following up with a punch and a swift kick that would floor a lesser opponent if the attacks weren't so clumsy and rage-filled.

"Laws are for everyone!" he yells, barely holding back tears.

OOC: Dex save: 1D20+5 = [17]+5 = 22 (success) This means Bimpnott takes only 6 force damage, putting him at 4/27 hp. Spend 1 ki point for Flurry of Blows (3/4 ki remaining): 1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11 for 1D6+5 = [4]+5 = 9 slashing damage 1D20+7 = [7]+7 = 14 for 1D4+5 = [3]+5 = 8 bludgeoning damage 1D20+7 = [11]+7 = 18 for 1D4+5 = [4]+5 = 9 bludgeoning damage
