The Forges of the Mountain King Chapter 1- Bottom's Up!

[Goonalan]

Krogan will start running towards Thorgrim and ragged dwarf. While doing so, he will grab his axe from the ground and try to land a blow to dwarfs side. Hopefully averting the heat from Thorgrim and onto himself..

OOC: minor - pick up the axe movement- double move/run.. whatever will get me there.. standard- charge with howling strike

[sblock=Krogan's Run]Alas the only way to get to him is to run, these are the rules for run-

–5 Penalty to Attack Rolls: You have a –5 penalty to attack rolls until the start of your next turn.

Grant Combat Advantage: As soon as you begin running, you grant combat advantage to all enemies until the start of your next turn.

I'm going to presume that you do this, unless you come up with a better idea before we get round to the Ragged Dwarf again.[/sblock]

Krogan heads forward as fast as he can go, constantly looking behind him- aware of the what's going on below in the river, in seconds he's in the face of the second Ragged Dwarf, alas his axe blow is high wide and handsome- and in the process he's left himself exposed- easy to hit.

Mardred

Mardred meanwhile shuffles to the edge of the ledge and stares down in to the ravine, the Ogre's head and shoulders are above the water- if he could only, he takes aim and...

THUNG!

Not quite as good as the last time but...

"GRRRROOOAAAGGHH!"

Below the Ogre growls and tries to remove the second dagger from just behind his ear.

Mardred claps his hands, then looks around to see that nobody is watching him- he performs a little dance, beneath his feet the rock cracks a little, he suddenly goes statue still and reddens, looks again to make sure no-one is watching.

Mardred grins- he's doing his bit.

Cinara's up.

 

[Goonalan]

Posting ahead of Krogran figuring his actions shouldn't affect Cinara's.

Cinara

Feeling/sensing/seeing/knowing Kazz is having problems getting to the surface, Cinara reaches down, gets Kazz' attention, and cups her hands for him to step into. She's not strong in the sense of pure brawn, but she hoped it will be enough to help him to the surface for some air and help propel him westward toward the beach. Unfortunately, all she managed to do was push her own feet deeper into the sands and silt at the bottom....

Then, not fully knowing Len has jumped in the water and thinking she is likely the only thing between the ogre and Kazzigan at this point, she pushes off from the bottom hard as her stubby legs can muster toward the creature. Kicking with all her might, she finally makes her way to the horrific beast and unleashes stone rain upon it, laced with some additional freezies couresty of her forgeborn heritage.

[sblock=Combat round]
Minor: Strength check to assist/lift Kazz
Move: Athletics check to move to the surface at AO36
Move: Athletics check to move to AN38
AP: Earthen Hail + Elemental Legacy (Len and Cinara are both +2 AC and Fort until end of Cinara's next turn)
[/sblock]

OOC: Leaving Len's next action to someone else...I didn't have the best of luck my last try... LOL

Cinara swims furiously, thrashing the water to a foam, gulps air at the surface and then swims against the tide to the Ogre, using all of her balance and straining her muscles she manages to maintain her position and (with Combat Advantage) manages to connect with her warhammer- delivering a brief burst of icy damage to augment her weapon's effect.

"BUGG'RIT!"

The Ogre cries again and flails in the water, one arm numbed he shakes it furiously to be free of the ice that has formed around his elbow...

The creature is battered and bruised, and yet has more than enough strength left to fight on... this is going to go down to the wire.

Next up Len, then the Ogre and then the Ragged Dwarf. I'm not rolling for Len so someone better step in- Pinotage please...

 

[Ressurectah]

That is o.k.. I am up close and personal..just the way i like it...

 

[Pinotage]

Len

Len smirked beneath the water as he watched the ogre bleed. It couldn't be easy for the massive beast to fight while its head was above the water. The water played funny tricks with your eyes. Either way, it was time to recycle this ogre as only UNCRAP could do.

He spun in the water, streamlining his body to avoid the current, like a spear thrown at a target. He effortlessly came up behind the ogre which he could see was already slipping in the sand from its wounds. Driving his feet firmly into the sand, he slammed his shield into the back of the ogre's knee. The force buckled the ogre over, just enough for Len to push off from the bottom and drive his cold and unforgiving battleaxe into the small of the ogre's back.

OOC: Minor - None Move - Athletics Check (Swim) to remain where he is - 25 Standard - Shield Feint vs. Ogre AC - 22. Damage - 10 hp Not sure if the axe has been added to the values in his character sheet. If not, the Shield Feint is 23 vs. AC and 11 hp damage.

Kazzagin

OOC: Posting now as Kazzagin's action is unlikely to affect anything else.

He stumbled below the water in the current, vaguely catching sight of shapes and forms leaving him behind and the darkness looming ever closer and deeper in the lake. I be the son of Aethor One-Arm! I be not letting this happen! He struggled to right himself, the weight of his armor too heavy and keeping him down. He spent too much time looking after Dark Mind Dwellers, and devoting himself to Pelor that water had never featured in his mind. A futile kick brought him nowhere as his feet stomped up clumsy dirt.

I be the son of Aethor One-Arm! I be not letting this happen! As the current dragged him like a rag across the floor he started to grow ever more frantic, kicking more wildly and trying something, anything that would get him out of this mess and closer to the surface. Again he floundered. His eyes looked around, everywhere, anywhere for something that might help. He need to get back - he needed to kill that ogre and protect the other dwarves. The Dark Mind Dwellers depended on it.

The current pulled him further past the dark walls of an even darker tower. His breath was slowly fading. I be the son of Aethor One-Arm! I be not letting this happen! He kicked crazily at anything beneath him, determined to get to the surface, armor and all. Luck! Sheer Luck! His foot found a stone on the ground, something solid. And with the remaining desparate strength he kick against in, finding enough grip and footing to launch himself upwards for a breath of precious air.

OOC: Minor - None Move - Athletics Check (Swim) - 2 Move - Athletics Check (Swim) - 2 Action Point - Athletics Check (Swim) - 13 Really starting to think that the DiceBot hates me... All Hail the DiceBot!?

Len's axe cuts under the Ogre's guard, which is beginning to lose its edge, the great creature is sliced across its belly which produces a ribbon of red in the water. The beast is fading fast, but still has a little left in store- particularly as its icy limbs have since thawed.

The creature shuffles and it's feet and attempts to steady its balance, fighting against the current, before launching another Greatclub attack- a thrusting smack towards Len.

Len, alas, has no more to avoid the blow and takes it full force, his back and head are smashed in to the wall behind, for a second his limbs go limp, his eyes droop and he struggles to keep in his breath (Len makes an Immediate Endurance check), it's not enough- a stream of bubbles follow. Len's eyes blink open as he watches his air supply race to the surface- he must surface as soon as or he will begin to drowned.

The Ogre maintains it's position, unaffected by the current.

OOC: Pinotage posted for Kazz' turn in #255 ahead of time... figuring that Krogran will be engaged w/ the dwarf, I'll wait until you post again for Mardred....

OOC: Also, as I missed the first enounter in the foyer, will the end of this encounter be a milestone? i.e., i've currently used my one and only AP so far?
