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

[Luinnar]

I am coming my friends! Kaz shouts charging over to help the center area. He calls down diving power on the leader, flinging it away from its allies and than rushes over and swings his giant axe, chopping a huge chunk off of the creature.

OOC: If I spend an action point before I use my standard action, will I get the benefit for both attacks? If so that is what I will do.

"Crikey!," Yimayngurr exclaims as he observes the heightened intelligence, speed, and efficiency with which the undead move in the presence of their fell master. As he fends off the slashing jaws of the frenzied beast with his spear haft he muses aloud, "Never heard of this sorta thing in dead critters before, but ya see it in insects all the time. Coordinated social behavior, is what. Might be that bigfella in the read is like the queen of the colony, eh? If we can take him out..."

"Dbbrrr!," the half-orc cries as his spear flies true toward the red-armored warrior, knocking him off balance and slowing his advance.

"Head for the tower mates!," Yimayngurr calls out to his allies. "We're seeing swarm behavior. I reckon these dead blokes're about ta get a lot more dangerous. You there!," he yells at the nearest craftsman, "Run for it mate. And mind that beastie."

"Hey watu!," Yim taunts the frustrated beast as he picks his way over the stones back toward the tower. "You a fierce doggie, eh? Betchya can't catch me though."

[sblock="Yimayngurr actions and stats"]Standard: Fading Strike vs. Rerisen Lord, using Furious Assault = hit (probably) for 13 damage, lord is slowed till Yim's EONT, and Yim shifts 2/2 = 1 square to Q11

GM: [MENTION=44459]Luinnar[/MENTION], the area you are in is difficult terrain. You'd need to make an Athletics check to jump that far(DC 11) or an Acrobatics DC 15. Also, I'm assuming you're using Abjure Dead on the Rerisen Lord. Is that correct?

OOC: Yeah the Rerisen Lord, sorry I did not post who I was attacking. Athletics =18 If I use the action point before a standard action, will Cale's ability apply to both attacks? If so please amend my actions so I will use the action point before the standard actions and add the +1 to hit and +3 to damage for Abjure Dead

 

[Iron Sky]

Kaz puts his axe clean through the head of the rotting figure in red armor, dropping it permanently. When he does, all the dead nearby go inert briefly.

The rest of the dead still continue their advance however, closing in on the palisade defenders from all sides, one of the beasts pouncing on and pulling down one of the last craftsmen.

[sblock=Cale's AP bonus]It only applies to the attack you get from the AP, not all of them for a round.[/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]

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: Wow it's dead! Is that the same thing people saw before, or is there something else? Also is K 19 occupied by a palisade or can Kaz move into it?

 

[Mewness]

[sblock=ooc]*High-fives Kaz*[/sblock]
Livia emits a satisfied grunt as the red-armored figure falls to Kaz's blade. "Try to take out those archers," she says to her remaining companions on the tower. She herself fires into a crowd of ravens and other dead, the arrow becoming a winding streak of flame in mid-flight. A corpse catches on fire, and the flames begin to spread.

[sblock=actions]Standard: elemental spirits, fire damage, on rerisen dead 18 (I19). (I'm assuming that the effect that damages adjacent units will work when it's "dead." If that isn't the case, I'll do something else.) 1d20+8+2=21 is a hit, anything that starts its turn adjacent (until EoNT) takes 3 fire.

Minor: order Z14 to shoot at Archer 4 (F15). 1d20+4-2=11 miss.

Minor: order AA13 to reload.[/sblock]

[Iron Sky]

GM: J19 is a Palisade square. That thing didn't seem to be what people saw before, at least what they saw before wasn't wearing armor and didn't seem to have a sword... well, and blasted the bridge, exploded into ravens, and summoned a flood. Technically, effects end when creatures die. These are kind-of a border case, but I'll give it to you since - despite Kaz's perma-kill of the Lord, there's still almost 30 enemies on the field...

 

[Mewness]

[sblock=ooc]About death ending effects--there's no such rule, as far as I know. If it exists, I'd like to know where it is. Zones and conjurations end when the creator dies, but I can't find any general rule about effects ending when the target dies.[/sblock]

OOC: THANKS XETEROG!

"Thayah commin' arayound bayack Frayed!" Eithal urges the dwarf to withdraw, though it's tempting to finish off the stunned beats.

Eithal dispatches one of her adjacent foes and turns to look up at the tower battlement, "Yew thayah!" she shouts to the archer behind the parapets, "Give the Dwahf some covah!"

The craftsman sends a bolt down into the crowd of enemies at the palisade breach, bringing down the birds on their right flank.

"Much 'bliged!" Eithal hollers up her thanks to the archer and rolls her eyes as she takes in the scene. Thayah sow much of'um.[sblock=Actions]Free: Mark RRD17
