Combat Post: Encounter #1-The Black bear

[sblock=ooc]Trying something a little different with handling combat. Keep an eye on this post, as I'll edit it as necessary with the numbers, and put up a narrative for the round in a new post after everyone's acted.[/sblock]

Round 1:
18 Black bear: Charges Thogrim (claw=hit, 6 damage)

16 Aramil 8/8 (has readied arrow): Looses readied arrow (10+5=hit, 4 damage)
13 Thogrim 4/10: Attacks with longsword (16+5=hit, 10 damage); moves 5 ft. backward
11 Irathias 7/7:Fires an arrow (5+2=miss), drops bow, draws sword
3 Dowkan 13/13: Attacks with waraxe (19+5=hit, 10 damage)


[sblock=Only]I assumed Aramil would loose his readied arrow and rolled accordingly to save time. If that is inaccurate, please let me know and I'll correct it.[/sblock]

 

[WarShrike]

Thogrim swings his longsword as hard as he can, then takes a 5' step backwards.

 

[Arkhandus]

Irathias fires an arrow at the bear and then drops the bow, drawing his longsword.

 

[Legildur]

The dwarven warrrior hefts his waraxe and wades in to assist the wounded Thogrim.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

double post, sorry.

"Come child, behind me!"


[sblock=ooc] Nope, you did perfect. Barring the bear charging me, you can go ahead and have Aramil shoot it again.[/sblock]

Narrative: Encounter 1, Round 1

As the angry bear turns her attention to the screaming Thogrim, Aramil plants a well-placed arrow into her side. Still, the charging beast lashes out with her sharp claws and opens a trio of impressive slices across Thogrim's shoulder.

The injured half-orc answers back with a hefty swing of his sword, opening a huge gash in the things belly. Thogrim quickly steps back out of reach as Irathias fires his own arrow, narrowly missing as the bear thrashes about.

Dowkan approaches the injured bear and easily sinks his dwarven-made axe deep into her skull, putting her out of her misery.

[WarShrike]

Thogrim spontanious casts a CLW from his prepared Doom. Then he will examine the child for wounds.

Thogrim spontanious casts a CLW from his prepared Doom. Then he will examine the child for wounds.

Thogrim again calls on Heironeous to heal his wounds, and as he lays his hand on hiss shoulder he can feel the gashes closing. He approaches the boy to give him a good once-over; he doesn't seem to have any visible injuries.


[sblock=OOC]Just so we're clear: Everyone but Dowkan will know this boy, as I hinted at with the posts here and here.[/sblock]

 

[Legildur]

"And that," the dwarf says as he cleans the blade of his axe with a cloth, "Is how it be done."
