Iron Heroes: A Saga of Might

OOC: Sorry, but I'm totally confused...
is the red 2 the troll with the javelin?
are we actually onthe side of the trolls but faking fighting them?
on which side are the trolls?
:confused:

OOC: Red #2 is troll with javelin, #1 is troll who is currently wrestling acidic jellyfish (black Xs).

The trolls are attacking the hag for some reason.

You are trying to capture/neutralise the hag so that her sister on the surface will let the ship go (under instructions not to kill her).

Xoria is pretending to the hag that you are reinforcements sent by the third hag sister.
 

Olmar
Defense 13 (FF13), HP 34/34, F +5,R+4,W+4; Ini +2 ; Fury Pool 0/12; DR 1d4


Olmar swoops down and attacks the troll. Not knowing what is the creatures real motivation and alliances, he doesn't bother with weakening the blow...

[sblock=OOC]

the others used the dice roller, so I will give it a try with Olmar.

----

Reserve Points: 27 / 34

Pick (gripped with both hand and Power attack 1):
1d20+4 - 1d6+6 - 20/x4

In berserker rage:
1d20+5 - 1d6+8 - 20/x4

Olmar's attack takes the troll by surprise, smashing it in the ribs. Having thrown its lightning javelin it is now unarmed, except for the razor sharp teeth and claws it now bears on Olmar.

Bjorn darts down behind the mountain man, jabbing with his scimitar. Vela, meanwhile, has worked her way over and behind the hag, and now lurks within striking distance.

The hag cackles maniacally. "Good, good!" she laughs.

[sblock=OOC]
Olmar hits the troll for 10 damage. Bjorn is going to use Aid Another on Olmar's attacks for the forseeable future, rather than give up the cover of the barbarian.

Next up, Xoria.

Xoria flails wildly, as if having trouble controlling herself, and does not fire off another round.

OOC: Holding action, but trying not to look like she's holding action. ("Fly casual!")

EDIT: Sorry, Bluff should be +7, for 25 total.

AFAIK, you need to be in melee range to aid an attack roll. But he could aid my Defense without.

The troll spins on the spot and lays into Olmar with claws and teeth. Bjorn helps block some of the strikes, but Olmar is still bitten and clawed.

The hag again raises her wand and sends a shard of ice at the troll, but her aim is way off this time. Perhaps she is even trying to avoid hitting Olmar and Bjorn.

The other troll seems to have lost its fight to extricate itself from the jellyfish, as it now hangs limply in the tendrils.

[sblock=OOC]
Troll#2 claw attack on Olmar, hits for 10 damage. DR 1d4l =4. Claw attack, misses. Bite attack hits for 5 damage, DR 1d4=2. Total 9 damage.

Hag wand attack on troll #2, miss.

Next, Vela, who is within her 40 ft. striking distance of the hag.

WD, I think I'm used to a polearm user using AA a lot. Switched to aiding Defence.

Vela watches the others...then scowls in annoyance as Oleg brings one of the trolls into the fight. A waste. They could all fight the hag together. Oh well...no help for it now. At least the hag would still be taken by surprise.

She lunged forward, aiming a stiff-fingered jab at the vulnerable spot where spine met skull at the top of the neck!

(OOC - Note that rolls below do not take into account any modifications due to surprise/stealth)
 

Vela finds the hag's skin to be unnaturally hard, but she feels bone crunch beneath her strike. The hag turns to glare at her. The sight is so horrific that Vela feels her strength begin to desert her, but her iron-hard discipline stiffens her resolve.

[sblock=OOC]
Vela unarmed strike hits (I applied flat-footed AC) for 5 damage.

Vela Fortitude save vs. Horrific Appearance 15+4=19, save. Vela is immune for 24 hours.

Next:

Olmar
Xoria

OOC: Doc Simon -- Question: Does Xoria think she could use Veil of Trickery on the Hag to obscure its eye, neutralizing a possible gaze attack? Could this be done as some kind of stunt? Requires a touch attack to use Veil of Trickery.
