[QUOTE="pneumatik, post: 4765691, member: 21087"] With a CRASH the front door to the Poison Apple bursts open! Cold air rushes in, carrying swirls of snow. Standing in the doorway are two men. They're wearing scale mail, with saps in hand and small wooden shields on their arms. They both also carry light crossbows and shortswords. The men open their mouths to shout and start to rush in, but before they can even take a step Hollister blasts them with fire! Slightly scorched, the men move into the pub. One hops the bar and stands next to Plavin, careful to avoid Torrent along the way {M1}. The other tries to charge Hollister, but Torrent interposes herself {M2}. Up on the second floor, a half-orc moves to the top of the stairs {M3}. He throws something at Rashelle. It hits the ground at her feat with a BANG! [OOC: fort save DC 15 or Rashelle is deaf]. A second half-orc steps in front of the first and moves down the stairs {M4}. Armed with a sap, he swings it down on at Rashelle's head. Suddenly, the whole building shakes! A massive BOOM! sounds overhead! Ceiling boards crack and buckle. What looks like flaming oil sprays out of the ceiling, filling the room with a flaming mist. Then the ceiling [i]does[/i] partially collapse, dropping burning debris around the pub. Unfazed by the pub falling around around her, Torrent swings at the man in front of her with her battleaxe. She connects, giving the thug a deep gash in his side. [COLOR="Red"]"Take that!" [/COLOR]she says. Having already been scorched by Hollister, the thug collapses, blood pouring out of his wound. OOC: The {M1}, etc. match the NPC's on the battlemap, so you can tell them apart. That's all the NPC actions for round three. Now every PC goes again. [sblock="OOC: Everyone look"][b]Hollister:[/b] I think Flaming Burst is an area effect that gives a save. Normally you'd make an "attack throw" for the spell, but to keep things moving I made saves for the two thugs. M1 got a natural 20 and M2 got a natural 1.
