The Enemy Within

[Dr Simon]

The human goes down under Kildrak's assault. Wavering for a moment, the attacking thugs rally and rush at the group. One of them swings his club at Hans, who deftly ducks beneath the clumsy attack.

Two rush Garold, who neatly parries and evades their poorly-trained blows.

Two charge Kildrak, who blocks one attack solidly; the other resounds off his armour.

[sblock=OOC]
Thug #2 attacks Hans, miss.

Thugs #3 and #6 attack Garold, miss.

Thugs #7 and #8 attack Kildrak, miss!

The extra damage was irrelevant to the first two attacks as their was sufficient damage to kill the men anyway.

Next up;
Gorim
Garold

[Walking Dad]

OOC: Could Gorim attack Thug 6 in melee from the boat after moving right, right-down, right-down?

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: He could (to get there involves clambering over the top of the cabin), but the back of the boat is swinging out into the current - he might move out of range next round. For this round, however, no problem.

 

[Walking Dad]

Gorim Grimmson

"Time to get back on firm ground!" Gorim calls as he makes a running jump from the boat.

[sblock=OOC]
Great time for a 1. Theoretically still enough to get to the sq left of Garold. May he still use his standard action, or is there a penalty for rolling a 1?

[Dr Simon]

Gorim catches his foot as he goes over the side of the boat. He slips as he lands, and ends up face down on the muddy bank next to Garold.

[sblock=OOC]
Gorim is prone, but he hasn't lost any actions. He could use his standard action to attack #3 from prone, or he could covert it to a move action to stand, etc.

[Walking Dad]

Gorim stands up, a bit embarrassed.

 

[FourMonos]

Garold barely blocks the attacks from the brigands. When he sees Gorim land next to him on the river bank, he can tell that he is embarrassed as only dwarves can get from such a move.

Garold uses the clumsy brigand's attack to side step and get in a better position against the two. Knowing he needs the mighty dwarf's concentration, he feints against the swordsman, calling to Gorim, "Aye, ye be the roots of the mountain, Gorim Grimmson. Show this long limbed surface dwellar the meaning of dwarven will."

Garold surprises even himself with how true the dwarven compliment rang.

He then glances over at Hans, who is holding the spot where the bolt hit him, "Shake it off Hans, this is the fool who has been hounding us!"

[sblock=actions]
Based on where WD was discussing, I'm going to assume the Gorim is next to #6, so:
Movement: Shift SE to give flanking with Gorim.
Standard: Direct the Strike vs. Brigand #6 Gorim gets MBA with CA for flanking. @Walking Dad I'll let you roll the MBA
Minor: Inspiring Word: Hans, gains HS +1d6+2: 6 extra HP!
Resourceful Presence: Remember if you use AP for attack, +2 damage if hit or +2 THP if you miss.
[/sblock]

 

[Walking Dad]

Gorim's MBA (hits AC 18 with flanking and Kildrak's +1. Forgot the Dw Weapon Traing bonus to damage on my character sheet. Corrected.)

 

[Neurotic]

[MENTION=59043]Walking Dad[/MENTION], Did you account for Kildrak's +1?

 

[Dr Simon]

Rallying, Gorim strikes the man squarely on the back of his head, and he goes down. Seeing their numbers rapidly reduced to half, the thugs seem to lose some of their eagerness for the fight, but do not retreat yet. They glance to their leader with the crossbow for assurance. He is currently surveying the scene with a look of satisfaction, crossbow at the ready.

[sblock=OOC]
Gorim's attack is enough to hit and put down #6.

Next up:

Hans
Aaryn

Hans takes 5 ongoing damage at the start of his turn, and is slowed. One saving throw will end both these conditions.
