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

[Goonalan]

Repost

Krogan saw whit the corner of his eye that Cinara was about to attack ghoul #3. Timing his moment with precision, Krogan swung his axe while ghouls attention was towards Cinara..

OOC: Push to Q114, Move to R110, minor Second wind

Krogan just manages to connect- the thinnest of edges, and still the Ghoul is not bloodied- it is however sent lurching backwards, ending between Grim and Cinara...

Krogan shuffles back, in a crouch, looking for his next victim- ready to charge back in to the fray.

He shrugs off his hurt and grimly grips the haft of his axe...

Kathra

With a dwarf down and dying, Kathra grabs the healing potion that she has only just acquired and runs through the deep (at least to her mind) water to dispense much needed aid.

OOC: Run to R112, pour healing potion down Kazz's throat

Kazz chokes and splutters, opens his eyes- he's being craddled in Kathra's arms...

Around the pair a world of hurt continues to shuffle and groan... and die.

Grim

Grim, fully expecting to miss again, is nearly shocked as his blow connects. Hidden harder than should be possible by a mere fist, the ghul nearly stumbles backwards. Grim feels invigorated, been able to absorb some death energies of the creature.

Cinara (edit done)

[sblock] bah! wasted crit LOL - I got so excited about Grim hitting and the crit I had deleted and retyped the whole thing, forgetting I had to get up (even though I'd written it the first draft through.... grr! [/sblock]


"Huzzah, Grim!!!"

Standing up and overjoyed at her comrade's success, Cinara takes advantage of the flanking position she is in with Grim and works to finish off the creature. Connecting with a hail of stone from her magic warhammer, she's puts all her might behind the blow and sends it below to join it's former comrade.

Channeling the Lord of the Forge, she wells up with life and shares it with Kazzigan, preparing him to finish off the foul beast.

OOC: Move: stand up Standard: Earthen Hail vs. Fort on Ghoul #3 (forgot to add CA - should be 21 to hit....please oh please), 14 total dmg, everyone except Krogan gain +2 AC and Fort until end of Cinara's next turn - yay dead ghoul! AP: disregard Minor: Healing Word Kazz, surge plus 2, next attack that hits him does half damage

Cinara

"Huzzah, Grim!!!"

Overjoyed at her comrade's success, Cinara takes advantage of the flanking position she is in with Grim and works to finish off the creature. (Hopefully!) Connecting with a hail of stone from her magic warhammer, she's empowered and swings a second time, this time with all her might behind the blow.

Channeling the Lord of the Forge, she wells up with life and shares it with Kazzigan, preparing him to finish off the foul beast.

OOC: Standard: Earthen Hail vs. Fort on Ghoul #3 (forgot to add CA - should be 21 to hit....please oh please), 14 total dmg, everyone except Krogan gain +2 AC and Fort until end of Cinara's next turn AP: Earthen Endurance vs. AC Ghoul #3, crit(!!), 15 dmg and Kazz gains another +2 power bonus to AC until end of Cinara's next turn Minor: Healing Word Kazz, surge plus 2, next attack that hits him does half damage Minor: Second Wind, Cinara heals 7, another +2 untyped bonus to all defenses

GM: See my message to you, you've posted too many actions- you've forgotten the Move to Stand, and besides... see below.

Cinara struggles to her feet, then spits on both hands- rubs them clean and brings her warhammer down straight in to the back of the Ghoul ahead- there's an allmighty snapping sound- the Ghouls spine being snapped like a dry twig. The undead beast flops in to the dank water and thrashes a while making feral cat-like noises- gruesome.

GM: Now what? Please edit previous post...

Kazz indicates the healing powers of Cinara have had affect, by blinking his eyes a little more rapidly, alas the Paladin still flounders in the water- locked in to his own fearsome world, watching the terror of reality pass him by, all the while preying that soon he will be able to move again.

Ghoul #2

The foul creature takes in the scene, it hisses once and then claws the air, and then... runs- and at a speed far in excess of anything you would believe the beast capable of...

In seconds it is out of the flooded chamber and bounding through the Goblin chamber- or at least that's what it sounds like...
