The Rerisen Tower(DM: Iron Sky, Judge: ScorpiusRisk)

[Xeterog]

OOC: He'd already used his 2..both on Eithal (one last round, one earlier this round) btw, I'll try to do my turn tomorrow

 

[Iron Sky]

GM: As a potentially relevant note, things that let you re-roll Oath attacks let you re-roll both dice, so you have 1 more attack roll you could make against the swarm. If it hits you could have slid out of the hulk's reach only only suffer an OA from the Raven Swarm. If your extra reroll misses, you would also provoke an OA from the raven swarm since it was adjacent to you. Since this is a life-or-death situation, we'll say the hulk hit first and pushed you 2 (which means you were pushed to R19 before you began to move, allowing you to move 1 square more. As Xeterog says, Cale is indeed out of inspiring words.

OOC: Isn't that raven's dazed thus can't make OA? Also I did not oath the raven so I could oath something later. Changed minor to draw a potion too, thanks

GM: Ahah, ignore the whole Oath/OA parts. The Hulk push-on-hit and Cale-out-of-heals parts are still valid. Did you add the CA for the swarm being dazed to your attack roll?

OOC: I forgot the CA, thanks for reminding me! That means that I hit the swarm (15+2= 17 vs AC) And can shift as part as the attack so I can avoid Hulk OA. I think the swarm should be "dead" too, Eithal did 10 damage to it. I retconed my post above

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: I think the swarm should be "dead" too, Eithal did 10 damage to it.

OOC: And now she braces for a vengeful pummeling .

 

[Xeterog]

Fredrock grits his teeth as he tries to hold back the mass of undead. He takes a careful swing at the downed raven swarm, but just misses taking the foul swarm out of the battle

Mason, get out of here..I'll try to hold them back some.

[sblock=actions]
Start of Turn:
Ongoing 5 necrotic, DR4 so I take 1 damage.

[Iron Sky]

GM: Unconscious things (dead swarms qualify) have -5 to defenses. So the coup-de-grace is a success. Also, I don't remember what I said before, but the taking damage thing only applies to the minions.

"That's it! C'mon mates, I'll cover ya from here," Yim shouts as he launches his spear, skewering the nearest undead beast.

"You there! Keep shootin' them zombies, eh?," he calls up to the tower, prompting a craftsman to fire a bolt that severs one of the weaker zombies' heads.

Yimayngurr then dashes forward, intending to impale one of the larger corpses shambling towards him, but the undead brute easily smacks his spear point aside.

As the party falls back, the dead throw themselves at Fredrock as the dwarf braces himself for all of them. Their sheer mass is enough to push even the sturdy dwarf back, but he lures most of them away from his companions.

More dead fall and lie still with each passing second, but there are so many that even the heroic efforts of the group have only slowed their advance.

[sblock=Notes about this round]Switching to the other map would be a HUGE pain in the butt, so I just moved the map down. I did this after I moved the enemy, so their movement locations in the Enemy Actions are incorrect. They should be correct in the Combatants section.

Assume the difficult terrain ends once you reach the new line S on the map and the door is marked with the blue dot. Also, don't forget you can make an Athletics check as part of any movement, clearing 1 square per 5 rolled(rounding down).

I also totally forgot about Dwarven Stability. In this case it was a good thing, otherwise, Fredrock would be completely surrounded where he was at. I'll try to remember it in the future however. You have the option of letting them push you if you desire, just let me know Xeterog.[/sblock]

[sblock=Special rules for this fight]As a minor action, you may let one of the Craftsmen, the Master Mason, or Captain Cale take a standard action. They may take move and minor actions as well each round if you convert additional minor actions to "fuel" them.

As before, if an adjacent craftsman is hit, you may take the damage instead as a free action. Alternatively, if you are hit, you may make an adjacent craftsman take the hit instead.[/sblock]

[sblock=Terrain]*Any terrain with rocks is difficult terrain. You can ignore it by making DC 15 Acrobatics checks to keep your balance as you run across the rocks. Fail the Acrobatics check and you are knocked prone. You can, of course, use Athletics to jump over difficult terrain as always.

*The palisades fill all the squares they are in and will make attacks against anything that tries to climb over them.[/sblock]

[sblock=Tower Door]A little reminder again about the location of the door to the tower; it's near the blue dot I put on the map. Next round I'll shift the map and drop it down a level so everyone can see, that'll just take... alot of work.[/sblock]

[sblock=Map/Combantants block discrepancies]Fredrock technically wasn't adjacent to that beast he just hit since he pushed it back with Bull's Rush last turn and it got stunned, but it's easier to let it go than wait for a redacted action.

In the future, if there is a discrepancy between the map and the location given in the Combatants section, assume the Map is correct since I update that first, then go back right before I'm going to post it and update the Combatants block off of the map (occasionally missing things since there's 40+ combatants in this fight).

The only exception is flying creatures, who may not be in the block they appear to be on the map. In the future, if flying and ground creatures occupy the same square, I'll put the ground creatures in the square and the flying creatures tokens in a square adjacent. I'll be sure to double check the flying creature's Combatants locations to be sure they are correct.[/sblock]
