will save (1d20+4=16)

Are saves ideal low? so would a +4 actually be a minus?

I am guessing that Michael's Blond haried fellow is singing to keep the undead at bay. Not sure if Radoon would know this, but am guessing so? He will try and keep his wis about him and like all good sailors listen to everything around him but not tune into any one thing.

OOC: Nope the genius of the D20 system is that you always want to roll high. Unlike the old days with sometimes you needed to roll low. Fortunately, 16 is just what you needed to avoid the undead siren song. The blonde guy is in fact using Bardic countersong to help the others resist the undead song. Unfortunately, on the stage you are out of range to benefit.

Radoon finds the queer songs alluring, but is able to just pull himself away with an effort of will. Radoon knows that it is a trap. Marienna seems to share this awareness and holds her spear ready. Elizabeth seems to be trying to decide if she should use her wand to summon another wasp. However, Radoon hears a clatter as Rodney drops his blade and begins to walk forward, entranced by the music of the undead.

Radoon will grab Rodney and guide him backstage, and hopefully out of the song's range.

"Come along, Elizabeth, can you grab his blade?" Radoon will make a beeline for backstage.

Rook

Will Save (1d20+2=18)

Rook shakes his head as if to rid himself of an annoying buzz. Noticing what's going on around him, he grabs Rodney's other arm to help Radoon get the man backstage. He tries to keep an eye on the undead behind as well.

Exit Stage Left

It would appear that the Warlock (Michael Storm) has recognized the party as well, for as they retreat from the stage he shouts down. "Typical of them to flee numbers and save themselves rather than innoncent bystanders." His own group are fighting against superior numbers, but so far holding their own. Michael blasts one with his magic while the ogre smashes one flat with a large great club and another is wounded by another of his party.

As you fall back Rodney goes reluctantly. One of the undead approaches while the other two continue to 'sing' and Marienna jabs at it with her long spear trying to hold it back, but she misses.

Radoon will do all can to keep his temper from flaring. He mutters something under his breath about cowards, fleeing the ship and he should have dealt with him when he had a chance.

If we are able to close the door of the backstage area on the undead and maybe move something in front of the door to keep them from entering, we will.

Rook

Rook will lash out at the approaching undead if he gets a chance and if such action is needed to make space to allow the doors to be shut.

Well, it cannot be said that I did not try to make accomodations for the man - he's made his bed!

“Cuir sioa ar ghabhar agus is gabhar I gcónai é!”

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Rook may indeed take a stab at an approaching undead. They are AC 14.

Rook

Rook strikes quickly and precisely with Dagger and Belaying Pin:

To Hit (1d20+4=17, 1d20+3=15)

Damage (1d4+4=6, 1d4+2=3)

Exit Stage Left

As Radoon and Elizabeth continue to pull Rodney to the backstage area. Rook easily strikes the undead, apparently some sort of sailor laborer in life, with dagger and pin. It continues to follow and it reaches (1d20+4=24) out and slashes (hp damage and temp wisdom damage respectively) (1d6+1=2, 1d4=1) Rook's neck. Only a well timed dodge saves him from a more serious wound. Meanwhile, Michael Storm is trying to rally the other Masque goers in the ampetheater to fight rather than be cut down by the undead. He shouts "Dammit People, Rally, Rally and sing against these foul undead whose claws are as deadly as their song. Rally Dammit Rally and sing to save your own lives". Several have already been brutally slain while others seem to have been fascinated by the undead 'song' and are standing helpless as the undead caress them and whisper in their ears. Michael even sings a rousing song:

"Fighting Sailors from the Sea, Fearless men who sail and die...Men who mean just what they say, the brave men of the Green Berets.. Silver Sails upon their chest, these are men the Empire's Best, 100 men will test today but only three will win the Green Beret....

Trained to live on sailing seas, trained in combat ship to ship, men who fight by night and day...COURAGE take from the Green Beret...Silver sails upon their chest, these are men the Empire's Best, 100 men will test today but only three will win the Green Beret

Back at port a young wife weeps, her Green Beret has meet his fate, he has died for the Empires Sake...leaving her his last request..Put silver sails on my son's chest, make him one of the Empire's Best....he will be a man they will test one day...have him win the Green Beret"


OOC: threat roll (1d20+4=14) I took the liberty of applying your Dodge bonus to this attack. I didn't think you'd mind since it avoided a crit.
