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

[Goonalan]

His blood lust not satisfied, Krogan continues to dash forward. Running down the corridor, he makes a left turn and then charges the beast... Krogan is determined to brake his axe on the next one...His blow is going to be so awesome, that the last one he made will be soon forgotten...
GAAAAAAAAAAARRRHHHHHHH!!!!

OOC: +2 on speed should allow me to reach the beast with a charge attack ending at R73. If not, scratch my action and wait for the rest to regroup and continue our attack together.

OOC: I guess all that excitement got to the point that Krogan didn`t concentrate enough on the attack...

Krogan skids around the corner and spots the second Zombie Ogre, he charges and...

WHUMP!

Is met full force by an over-head two-handed blow from the creature.

GM: Readied Action- Zombie Smash Krogan.

GM: I'll take the second roll for the Save vs Prone- because I'm nice.

Krogan staggers the last few feet, his helm crushed around his head- and swats wildly with his Greataxe- missing by a good margin.

Krogan is suddenly not very well, these Ogres, Zombie or otherwise- they hurt bad!

Krogan skids around the corner and spots the second Zombie Ogre, he charges and...

WHUMP!

Is met full force by an over-head two-handed blow from the creature.

GM: Readied Action- Zombie Smash Krogan.

Krogan staggers the last few feet, his helm crushed around his head- and swats wildly with his Greataxe- missing by a good margin.

OOC: Hello Insult. Meet Injury. DOH! And Cinara's out of Heals - Krogan may need a Lay on Hands...

 

[Ressurectah]

I couldn`t go out of this world without saying ... *I solo charged Zombie Ogre*

OOC: Hello Insult. Meet Injury. DOH! And Cinara's out of Heals - Krogan may need a Lay on Hands...

I couldn`t go out of this world without saying ... *I solo charged Zombie Ogre*

OOC: Glorious! LOL

Just wanted to add, because I appreciate the map is a little difficult to see that, Kazz can get in to the ZO#2 with a move and a charge, as can Len. However once one of them has done this then the other has to Run and then Charge to get in to the fight...

Hope that's understandable- the first is okay with Move-Charge, the second would have to be Run-Charge.

Unless you use Action Points of course.

 

[Pinotage]

Kazzagin

The beast fell. Kazzagin looked at Len and nodded seriously in thanks. His face was streaming with sweat, and the pain of his injuries was evident. "We be helping Krogan. This be not finished." He jumped over one of the dead orgre's arms, and then dashed around the corridor to see the blow that staggered Krogan. Kazzagin cursed silently and made his was closer. "I be here. You be fighting well, Krogan. Pelor be with you." He lightly touched Krogan on the shoulder, giving him strength.

OOC: Move - To V70 Move - To S74 Minor - Lay on Hands - Kazzagin spends a Healing Surge for Krogan With a little luck Kazzagin can use his Daily next round and there'll be another Healing Surge for somebody whose's wounded.

Len



"C'mon Mardred, the fight's 'round the corner!"

Moving with haste to join the fray, Len follows the sound of battle around the southern path and see his target. He squares himself to charge, but at the last minute decides it's high time to put the smack down on something.

"It's high time I put the smack down on something...."

With a swagger only an Apricot could muster, he makes his way up to the zombie, certain its doom will come at his hands.

"You doom comes at m'hands, zombie...."

Putting all his bravado and swagger into the maneuver, he crashes his shield into the great beast, sure it will fall before him.

"Fall b'fer me, ya oaf!"

And the swing goes wide...VERY wide... so much that he takes a giant chunk of rock off the nearby wall, which, somehow, makes its mark square on the ogre's nose, drawing a bleed........


And now that this narrator has completely gotten Len off his game for the second time, he'll tuck tail in embarassment and drown his miserable dicebot luck in homemade peanut butter chocolate bars........
