OOC: #5 is the one who tumbled away, isn't he? At any rate, Eusebius is happy to heal Juliana.

IC: "Juliana is right. If Torvin is here, I must go to his aid. In the meantime, I will give what healing I can."

Eusebius moves when Juliana does, reaching out with the wand to heal her as they go.

OOC: He'll try and grab his crossbow (which is on the ground just north of the pit) on the way through, but if it looks like he's going to fall behind, he'll ask Beamer to pick it up for him.
 


Round 10 (cont)

The group pauses to discuss, though the discussion is silent and mental. (I suppose the link's still good even though Boog is down. For what its worth, does anyone have any comment on what to do about Boog? A strict interpretation of the rules would have him dead, I think. But since El Jefe was having some legitimate problems getting his posts in, he didn't really have a chance to defend Boog as well as he should have. I'm thinking I'll say he's down at -6 or whatever, but alive and stable at this point.)

South, visible from the torchlight held by the men, the battle continues apace. Mano avoids the armored farmhands, tumbling past them with supernatural speed and grace. He then runs out of sight of the party, evidently pursuing the fleeing orc holding the backpack.

"Get him!" shout the men. One turns to give chase, but the other two brace to defend themselves from the two yellow-bandana-ed men who, having ditched their bows, are bearing down on them with falchions high.

The four men clash. Steel deflects off steel. No one goes down. Yet.

There is no one remaining to give battle the to the party. Juliana regains her focus, and is healed by Eusebius. (healed 5) Beamer and Banion delay

Round 11
The final monk warrior charges into battle to the South. One of the farmhands is cut down by a falchion. The monk moves in and strikes down the other. The third has disapeared down the hallway in pursuit of Mano and the orc.


Round 11 status:
Init order:
Monks (8 dmg & 2 dmg)
Mano (25 dmg taken)
Orc (36 dmg taken)
Farmhand warriors (3)
archers (1 & 2) (one injured from earlier combat)
Beamer (11/17) <--
Banion (29/40) (mind blade ready)
Eusebius (4/37, mage armor)
Juliana (11/45, force screen, thicken skin)

Eusebius prepares to give chase but before he does, glances one last time at Boog. Suddenly he stiffens, and cries out to the others, "Go! Follow them! Protect our ally. I'll be with you as soon as I can. Boog's still alive! I'll heal him, and then we'll follow."

For the grieving monk, in bidding farewell to his fallen companion, had seen a movement of Boog's hand - ever so slight but proof that he lived, if only just.

OOC: Wand of CLW, 39 charges remaining.

Beamer moves forward 20 feet and readies an action to fire a scorching ray at anyone coming back toward the party.

OOC: I think even with a 20 foot move, the opponents are still out of range of any of Beamer's spells.
 

ooc: How have people been getting over that pit? Banion, with his 20' base speed, is disinclined to jump. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, there's no practical way for him to give chase. He will double move to the edge of the pit this round, and next round he will throw a mindblade at a visible enemy, and then reform his mindblade.

I expect the monks have deflect arrows, and his throws will be irrelevant. If not, let me know the correct range, and I'll do some rolling.

OOC: The way I understand it, the enemy locked the pit cover in place and they have been running over it. At any rate, I don't think Manz has made any reference to them running (or crawling) along the side of it.
 

Right. The pit was raised just before the group was attacked. Can deflect arrows be used against Banion's mindblade? I hadn't thought of that.

Eusebius brings Boog up to 0 hps.

OOC: Another couple of shots should do it. ;)
