[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 2022618, member: 7006"] From between the two campfires, Zook sees the dire wolf snapping away at the gnoll. He immediately drops his crossbow and rushes forward, drawing his spear... moving in almost-but-not-quite opposite of Luthal. He raises the spear and thrusts it forward... [COLOR=DimGray]((Spear [14] + 4 = 18)) [B]*HIT*[/B] ((Damage [7] + 0 = 7))[/COLOR] ...impaling it into the flank of the wolf, whose howls of pain get even greater. Kolarred urges his mount forward and he barrels down on the other wolf, who turns just in time to see the horse ride up to him. Kolarred holds his arm steady and even thrusts his hand forward just a bit to put a bit more oopmh behind the attack... [COLOR=DimGray]((Lance [8] + 9 - 2 (PA) = 15)) [B]*HIT*[/B] ((Damage (double) [1] + [7] + 3 + 3 + 2 (PA) + 2 (PA) = 18))[/COLOR] ...and catches the wolf square in the jaw! It flips over twice in mid-air, then lands hard on the ground, giving off an agonizing woof of pain. Kolarred continues on through the underbrush for quite a way before slowly down and turning the horse around. The dire wolf that stands between Luthal and Zook snaps it's head back and forth making little nips, trying to keep both fighters at bay. When Luthal moves an axe to make a defensive stance it sees it's chance and lunges forward with it's huge jaws... [COLOR=DimGray]((Bite [19] + 11 = 30)) [B]*HIT*[/B] ((Damage [8] + 10 = 18))[/COLOR] ...and snaps them right around the upper thigh of the large gnoll. Luthal can feel blood begin to drip down his leg and then feels the tug as the wolf tries to pull him off his feet... [COLOR=DimGray]Wolf ((Trip [8] + 11 = 19)) / Luthal ((Trip [3] + 3 = 6))[/COLOR] ...and then his world turns upside down and he thuds HARD onto the ground, landing prone. The second wolf tries to shake the cobwebs from the vicious lance attack it just received, then turns to face the horse and rider 60 feet away and SPRINTS after him at full speed. As it approaches the horse it leaps forward to full extension with it's jaws open wide, aiming right for the horse's throat... [COLOR=DimGray]Wolf ((Bite [8] + 11 + 2 (charge) = 21)) / Kolarred ((Ride [10] + 8 = 18)) [B]*HIT*[/B] ((Damage [5] + 10 = 15))[/COLOR] ...and despite the paladin's best attempts to pull the horse out the way of the giant wolf, he just misses, and the wolf sinks his fangs into the neck of the horse, trying to pull the larger creature down to the ground... [COLOR=DimGray]Wolf ((Trip [9] + 11 = 20)) / Horse ((Trip [17] + 8 = 25))[/COLOR] ...but can't maintain it's grip with it's jaws and the horse is able to pull away and maintain it's footing. However Kolarred can tell that the bite did quite a lot to the horse, and it won't be able to take much more of that if the wolf's attack continues. ********** [COLOR=DimGray]Next round begins... please state your actions for this round. I've just discovered that this kind of melee will get too crazy trying to do more than one round at a time, so I'll go through each round by itself, thereby allowing you to make immediate decisions on what you'd like to do each time your initiative comes around.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Sienna]W = Wolf[/COLOR] [COLOR=gold]K = Kolarred & Horse[/COLOR] [COLOR=YellowGreen]L = Luthal (prone)[/COLOR] [COLOR=SandyBrown]Z = Zook[/COLOR] [code] [COLOR=gold]K[/COLOR] [COLOR=Sienna]W[/COLOR] [COLOR=Sienna]W[/COLOR][COLOR=SandyBrown]Z[/COLOR] [COLOR=YellowGreen]L[/COLOR] [/code] [/QUOTE]
