Message: <blockquote data-quote="GlassEye" data-source="post: 6294668" data-attributes="member: 40413">While most of the group chaotically sort themselves into those hanging back with missile weapons and those around the door waiting for a rush of beast-men, Dudles, Borok, and Xim take the fight to the beast-men.  Geoffrey, and those around the door get a clear view as Dudles advances and is missed by an iron axe that swings down from above the door.  It is unclear who or what wields the axe.Unfortunately, neither Dudles nor Borok seem to be favored by the gods of fate and both attacks miss.  Xim, at the door with sling whirring, lets loose with a stone that strikes a dog-headed beast-man between the eyes and drops him to the hide-covered floor senseless or dead.  Now that they are within the tower Dudles and Borok see a cluster of five beast-men and one now dead on the floor from Xim's stone.  The beasts jab with their spears...Dudles is tripped and skewered and dies atop the flea-infested hides covering the floor.  The other beast-men converge on Borok battering him with the butts of their spears until he collapses unconscious next to Dudles.Jakob opens the door to the upper tower.  Once his eyes adjust to the dimness he sees a massive, bull-headed monstrosity, surely topping seven feet tall, looming on the stairs above the lower entrance to the tower with axe in hand and attacking as Dudles and Borok rush in.  As the light banishes some of the gloom the bull-headed beast-man looks up and locks eyes with Jakob.  It roars and rushes up the steps swinging its axe.  The heavy blade bites deep into the door that inadvertently shielded the caravan guard.[sblock=OOC]Fortune favors the bold!  +1 luck to your PCs, Fireinthedust.Ok, when going to write out this post I realized it would be confusing to try to resolve in exact initiative order when I've said you can post in any order.  Instead, I'll resolve in posted order; I think it'll be less confusing (and easier on me).  The group as a whole has initiative, then the beast men go.At this point there are four general groups: 1) Siva and Jakob on the wall, 2) Dudles and Borok in the tower, 3) the group around the door waiting for a charge (Boral, Brom, Geoffrey, Homar, Narancasta +Xim), and 4) those hanging back and/or with missile weapons (Fendrel, Franko, Hank, Kurl)Axe from above vs. Dudles: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485697/" target="_blank">Beast-man atk (1d20+2=5)</a> MISSBM1 vs. Dudles: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485727/" target="_blank">Beast-man atk (1d20=8)</a> MISSBM2 vs. Dudles: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485728/" target="_blank">Beast-man atk (1d20=20)</a> CRIT: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485731/" target="_blank">Critical (1d6=2)</a> Knocked Prone; for <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485732/" target="_blank">Dmg (1d6=2)</a>BM3 vs Borok: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485733/" target="_blank">B-M attack (1d20=13)</a> for <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485739/" target="_blank">Sub damage (1d5=2)</a>BM4 vs. Borok: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485735/" target="_blank">attack (1d20=2)</a> MISSBM5 vs. Borok: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485736/" target="_blank">attack (1d20=13)</a> for <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485741/" target="_blank">Sub damage (1d5=5)</a>Bull-beast vs. Jakob: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4485726/" target="_blank">Beast-man atk (1d20+2=7)</a>Beast-man Champion: AC 12Beast-men (6): AC 12; DEAD: 1[/sblock]</blockquote>
