Remnants of the Horde-Flight from Aruth

[Jeremy]

Moments ago...

Bargo grunts as Yeenoghu's evil taint suffuses him again. The mixture of pain and pleasure and his terrible wounds manipulate and congeal under the blight is horrendous. Bargo loves it.

He hammers his way to his feat and looks around slightly dazed. Nodding once at the burnt cursed rose bush he looks around to see everyone leaving without him. Except Kurg. So Bargo hauls off and belts Kurg with a solid punch to the upper chest.

--Sign of affection. He growls low in his throat and grins at the tall dog warrior before charging into the fray to catch what's left of the killing to be done.

Back in the present...

Bargo should notice that the insides are bigger than the could be. Bargo should see the strange insides do not look at all like the inside of a cottage. But Bargo doesn't care. He's got that feeling. Elf-splitter is going to be howling soon. A mad giggle escapes his lips.

As the tinmen turn with their flaming toothpicks to gaze with unnaturally empty gazes, Bargo regards them with one who has seen demons conjured from hell, been tormented by dark dreams and evil powers, one who has faced dragons three and four times his size.

Bargo laughs.

Durgo starts at the warrior's sudden appearance. Berating himself for being too surprised and reacting last, he grips his warhammer in both hands and moves to attack the closest foe.

OOC: Assuming they become hostile. This may change depending on what they do.

Seconds ago.....
Forlash smiles as he steps past the doors behind the Ogres, the few hairs on the nape of his neck prickling with the magic forces being felt now he was inside. Wondering just when the hag would begin testing her newest intruders..

present....
Ahhhh here it begins...noting the group starting to spread to take on these steel encased guardians, he reaches to his belt to bring out his favorite toy....' It's play time hehehe'

OOC: ready Magic Missle Wand (lvl5) aim at closest...(that is if they do attack....)

 

[Orochi]

Kurg watches warily as the metal behemoths. He raises his flail over his head and calls on his dark god's power to infuse him with strength if the huge warriors should attack, holding off on unleashing his death howl (the helmet's power) until the hostility of the monsters became clear.

OOC: Using the flail's Abyssal Might power to hulk up

 

[Uriel]

OoC: Capellan, forgive thelbeety, but I doubt Wekerak wants to charge a plate armored Monstrosity.

The Figures are obviously hostile, raising their swords and advancing upon you...

Wekerak falls back a few feet, firing arrows into the nearest Enemy (The south-east one). Wekerak's shots fly true, the first arrow striking the Thing in the neck and the second piercing the visor of it's helm, hitting it inthe eye-slit...and the Thing continues to stand, minimally unaffected <2 Hits,19,20 rolled, no damage...it seems to have strong defenses>

Kurg casts Abyssal Might , infusing himself with Yeenoghu's
Power...

Midnight Fang falls back, throwing 2 of her wicked knives at the closest Thing. Both hit, though the first does no damage. The second one hits true, this the dagger with the electrical charge. The Electricity bursts upon the thing and it suddenly looks invigorated by the energy.

Forlash spits and says 'Bah, Golems!'


Frostbite spits his Breath upon the closest Golem,
covering it with frost, this having no effect...

The Golems move up to attack...

The one closest to Bargo moves in, swinging and missing with it's sword, though it takes a hit <AofOp> from Midnight fang <4HP>.
The North Westernmost Golem Charges Midnight Fang as well, though it misses her, it's sword leaving a deep cut in the stone floor. Bargo does not let this opportunity go unpunished, slamming Elf-Hewer into this Golem<AofOp, 32 HP>.

The closest Golem to Wekerak moves in, attacking, missing the nimble Goblin. Frosbite tries to knock it over, to no avail.
Durgo makes this impudent Construct Pay, with a vicious swing from his Maul <AofOp 24HP>.

The North-eastern most Golem Charges for Durgo, hitting him with it's massive sword < 19HP+4 fire,23HP total>.
Wekerak's attempt to stab this one as it moves by fails.

(Posting for ferretguy, via his cellphone)

Forlash moves up, casting Stoneskin on Durgo
<Damage Reduction 10/admantium,80 HP total in preventin, 80 min duration max>.

Bargo grins in glee, finally big targets to smash, not puny sneaky elfies. Swinging on one with Elf-Hewer, he smashes it <PA -4/+8dam, 44 HP total>, staggering the Golem before hitting it again < 42 HP>, cutting it in two, his blow carrying over <Cleave>to the second Golem <40HP>. This Golem jerks with the horrendous damage. Bargo actually feels a bit of pleasure to see a foe not dropped so easily, this was so Fun!

Durgo, a more level-headed combatant than his dimwitted son feels the invigorating Spell cast by the Hag's Bastard. Maybe this Wizard was going to be useful, the other one certainly wasn't
Swing Durgo's Maul twice, smashing the Golem with each hit, <2 hits, 52 HP total...they seem to be rather resistant>. Durgo is a bit annoyed, those blows should have killed the stoopid tin-can.

Back to Wekerak
(I will see if Capellan posts tonight)

 

[Jeremy]

Bargo shoulders himself five feet closer (C10) and takes his time to line up each of his shots at the same place, chopping through the creatures like trees. He attacks first the one attacking the not-elf now orc thing with an eye to possibly swinging around and chopping into the one on the Worg rider.

OOC: THPS+PA3: +17/+12, 4d8+30. Ah phooey! I wanted to try to kill-theif Durgo and see if I could embarass him. Edited.

 

[Velenne]

Durgo does indeed wonder how suits of metal could be made to do such things. If they didn't have flesh and blood, how could they die? Stupid mojo!

He launches into an entirely reckless volley upon the nearest creature, continuing his attempts at squashing them with his oversized hammer.

OOC: +3 Warhammer: Full PA + RA + WF: +10/+10/+5 (2d6+47)
(AC is now 19)

 

[Uriel]

OoC:Jeremy, as the map shows, you can sweep/cleave the one on Wekerak, not Durgo, but still...gotcha as to his action.

ROUND TWO

Wekerak 26
Krug 25
Midnight Fang 24
Frostibe 24
Guardians 17
Forlash 14
Bargo 6
Durgo 5

<Actions all?>

 

[Orochi]

Kurg snarls at the useless carnage. These things donm't even have any flesh! Still, in spite of teh lack of edibility, he slinks forward, heading for the most damaged looking of the metal men to add to its damage...

(OOC: taking the most direct path towards whatever golem seems most beat up and attacking)

 

[Uriel]

ROUND TWO

Wekerak disengages from the golem, risking a parting shot <The Golem misses>, not wanting to be so close to a frothing bargo or Durgo either, for that matter. Things were so muchmore easy when he and frostbite were out on the Plains, running down Elfies and Centaurs...

Kurg, his beig infused with Abyssal Might , moves up, attacking the Golem recently abandoned by Wekerak. While this Thing was unable to take a swing on him, the one fighting Durgo was able, swiping at the Gnoll with his Flaming Greatsword,
<19 points slashing+3 points fire damage, 22 HP total>

Kurg smacks the Golem with the mighty Flail, fueled by the thought that this Thing's Flesh was ruined by nasty magic, bad for eating.Closer look showed Blank-eyed Bodies, the Golems were Flesh, yet encased in Plate Armor, this a mis-match of different styles and een periods.
<Whopping hit, 15HP after DR>.
The Golem fails to fall, though many an ELf was killed not so long ago by such a hit.

Midnight Fang throws another pair of daggers at this same Golem, one sailing well clear (though almost hitting Durgo), the other hitting it squarely in the armpit, just under it's armor.
<3 HP after DR>

Frostbite bites at this Metal-Encased meat, his nose not liking the odd smell of the flesh, wanting the thing dead.The Winter Wolf misses the Golem that Durgo fights.

The remaining Golems attack.

The one in front of Bargo swings it's massive greatsword at the Half-Ogre twice, though only the first hit gets through Bargo's armor.
<10 HP damage:6HPslash +4 HP fire after DR>

The Golem now facing Kurg returns the gnoll's attack. hitting him once <19 HP, 14 slash/5 flame weak strike>.

The Golem facing Durgo misses the great Muragar with it's blade, the dragonscale turning the flaming Greatsword that would soon be Durgo's Battle-Trophy.

Forlash holds , in case any need back-up after being dropped etc...

Bargo steps to the side a bit, positioning his blow so as to Cleave the Golems, then sees the stoopid Gnoll Shay-Man in the way. This make Bargo mad, but killing Shay-Man bad since he heal Bargo.
Besides, Bargo just miss the Golemwice!!! Now Bargo REALLY Mad!
Kurg barely dodges aside, letting out a quick yelp of annoyance at the dimwitted beast nearly cut him in two with that blasted blade.
<Bargo rolled a '1', colorfull text only>


Durgo winds up, smashing the Golem with hisMaul with a flurry of hits <109HP in 2 blows>. The Golem first has it's head smashed into it's neck, then it recieves a blow so powerful as to throw it back a dozen feet, quite destroyed. Durgo feels much better about things now, and Bargo will see whose still the Big Chief. Looking over, Durgo can see bargo having just missed his Golem, almost kill the Shay-Man by accident and he's looking VERY mad right now. The Goblin and Elf-Demon are keeping their distance as well...


ROUND THREE

Wekerak calls Frostbite back away from the melee, his steed retreating from the angry Giants quickly whispering 'That one will bring down much Bad on us, with his noise...much Bad...' Wekerak vaults onto the Winter Wolf

Krug takes a swipe at the Golem facing him (and making sure that Bargo doesn't 'accidently' cut his head off), hitting once and missing with a second blow.
< 17 HP after DR>, another massive hit fro Yeenoghu's Chosen.
The Golem yet remains standing...

Midnight Fang moves a few feet north,casting 2 more daggers, this time at the Golem facing Kurg. Both fail to find a target.

Frostbite holds, looking for an opening, yet only those truly mad would get in the way of Bargo, Kurg and Durgo in this state.
Had the Golems any senses, it would have tried to run long ago...clearly it was outclassed here.

Forlash, not involved in the battle directly, sees the far doors opening...several figures rushing into the room.

Foremost are a dozen or so figures, humanlike but with scaly grey skin...Grimlock. Each carries a wicked great-axe,and is dressed in a mis-match of armor. Striding through the doors after them are three Trolls, these somehow bigger than normal, with elongated teeth and massively muscled arms.

Forlash thinks quickly, casting a Maximized Fireball at these new enemies. Nine of the Grimlocks turn to ash, while three more look severely burned, as do the trolls.
< 48HP Maxed, the three Grimlocks and trolls take 24HP>.


The remaining Golems attack...

Bargo's Golem swings it's sword at him, though it misses with both blows.

The Golem facing Kurg swings at him again, hitting once.
<26HP= 22Slash and 4 Fire>. Kurg has taken sore wounds this day.

Bargo swings Elf-Hewer at the stoopid Meat-Golem, chopping it's head off with a swipe <47 HP,dead>.

Likewise, Durgo swings Durgo's Maul at the Golem attacking th Shay-Man, destroying it < 43HP>.

ROUND FOUR

<Please post intentions, the Grimlocks are about 20' in the room, the trolls some 10 feet in>.
