Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Radoon - Mariner/Fighter/Master Thrower

Scotley said:
OOC: Ogre #1 is a little further away at 50' from where Radoon is. The scale of the map is one square equals 5'.

As Radoon enters the room, he looks left and tosses the gunpowder at the Ogre in the corner nearest him.

throwing gunpowder (1d20-2=18)

Yee Haw - natural 20!!

He then follows Rooks lead, though moving around the table to take the side of Ogre#2 that Rook is not on.

The Battle

The bundle of gunpowder bounces harmlessly off the chest of the Orge who laughs in a way that says, 'I'm gonna have you for my dinner little man.'

OOC: Okay Finn you're on.

Finn's second bundle of powder is in the air within instants of Radoon's toss. It flies straight and true through the air, impacting the other bag while it is still in the air after bouncing from the orge's chest. Their impact is followed by an immediate explosion. [sblock] Okay, Scott, that's two double charge bags meeting in mid-air for the blast. I'll let you roll the damage. Finn used far hand to make sure the contact occurred.[/sblock]
 

The bad guys strike back.

The shaman quickly incants and makes a few complex magical passes before pointing sharply at the party with a small metal tube which pops emiting a torch like ball of flame. The tube is consumed in the casting but the ball of flame comes rolling and boucing at the party moving at great speed and leaving a trail of sparks that continue to burn. The ball roars past Morwyn and then on to the charging Radoon before rolling between Rooks legs and thence to Finn and between the ladys before rolling into the door and buring itself out. All are scorched by the heat of the flames (10d6=34) passing. The power of this attack suggests that this will be no easy fight. The Shaman seems unconcerned that one of his own was burned as well. On the heels of the ball of fire comes a powerful blast from the two small bundles at the feet of the Ogre. The blast finishes the warrior attacked previously by Morwyn and the shaman is caught by it as well. One of the warriors (W1) steps in front of Pelgrath and stabs (1d20+5=24) his bastard sword at Morwyn and it nearly slices (1d20+5=9) his abdomen open, but the captain manages to just avoid the worst of the blow (1d10+3=5). The other three warriors move around in front of the Ogre (02) to engage approching party members. The two closest Ogres attack (1d20+8=9, 1d20+8=19) Morwyn with their great clubs, but only one manages to land a blow (2d8+7=19) though it is an attack of considerable power given the size of the massive two handed club. Marienna charges forward with her spear at the ready, but doesn't quite reach the foes.

OOC: Reflex saves for half (or less if you have evasion) damage from the fire spell.

OOC: Okay Rook you may attack the Ogre now.
 



Rook

"@#$ %^&*, that hurt!"

Rook takes a light step toward the table, hops up onto it, and launches himself through the air at the closest Ogre (#2). He lands lightly on the beast's shoulders and stabs quickly down into the neck area (17 T.H.), sinking the Northron knife deeply into Ogre flesh (Damage (1d4+3=5). Now perched on the back of the beast like a feral animated shadow, he prepares for his next leap.

OOC:

Scott, I didn't know what to add (if anything) for the knife.

Rook takes 29 from the Roman Candle and is now at 3 HP (Resistance to Fire - 5 pts saved his @!#) - No chance a 12 made the save, I'm thinking.

Also, it's storming here and the 'lectricks flickered after I rolled To Hit but before I could do the post. The roll should be in Invisible Castle, though.

OOC: Reflex Save (1d20+6=19) Whoo! I hope that's high enough, Scott. Otherwise, Finn is a crispy critter. Luckily, he does have evasion. Also Scott, are any of the opposition close to the remaining pools of sparks left by the fireball that bounced through? /OOC
 

OOC: Sorry I intended to say that the save was DC: 16.

OOC: The Ogre Rook is perched on and the three warriors and Pelgarth for that matter are all near sparks which flicker like candle flame illuminating the area, but seem likely to sputter out after a round or two at most.

Rook completes his leap and stabs the Ogre with the hunting knife. It seems a little confused by Rook's presence on its shoulder. The other ogre (o3) takes his club and pulls out a javelin. The men behind the bar begin taking up Crossbows. Captain DeGrasse's pistol booms out and Pelgarth jerks from the impact of the bullet. The fairy clad woman next to Radoon pulls a dagger and slashes ineffectually at him. The other women also pull daggers, but hold their places not quite sure what to do.

OOC: New round. Good Luck!
 

Revised Map

OOC: Here's a revised map. I took the liberty of giving Finn a 5' step toward the enemy. I'll move him back if you wish.
