A field of force surrounds them. "Dave, Spirit of War, here to help."The party feels the soothing presence of Dave, Spirit of War, enter their minds. In puffs of smoke, a lone Legionairre of Bone appears in the cup of each catapult or on the ground, away from the party. Short flagpoles are screwed into the shoulderblades of each skeleton, designating the color of its squad. Though it seems a little odd that there is only one skeleton in a particular squadron...Mr. Pinch stands and raises his arm. The Legionairres look up and salute. The dapper oni intones, "Let the battle begin!"As Mr. Pinch's arm falls, a trumpet sounds and the forcefield surrounding the party vanishes. Before you can even move, the skeleton with the blue flags screams, "Kill the foul-mouthed matchstick head!" It kicks the firing lever on its catapult, launching itself at Emral.Mr. Pinch's voice echoes through the stadium...BONE-A-PULT!The skeleton explodes into thousands of sharp bone shards, destroying itself in a suicide attack. Emral, at the center of the burst, stands surprisingly unharmed. However, Finnian and Drivan fare not so well and suffer 6 damage (each).As the bits of the blue skeleton scattered, they skip, dance, and reform into FOUR more blue skeletons![sblock=Mechanics]Blue LoB uses the Psychic Token, A Marilith Scorned, providing the Legion with a +1 bonus to all attacks against Emral until blue's EONT.Standard Action: Bone-A-Pult! Burst 3, 1d20+3 v. Reflex, 1d6+3 damage...<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Targeted on Emral: (+1 to attack roll) 15 v. Reflex, MISS</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Drivan: 21 v. Reflex, HIT for 6 damage</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Finnian: 20 v. Reflex, HIT for 6 damage</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Erlai: 8 v. Reflex, MISS</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vaunea: 6 v. Reflex, MISS</li> </ul>Rolled a *mumble, mumble* die and got a *mumble, mumble*: Power, Renewable Resource, activates on death of blue skeleton, spawning additional skeletons in unoccupied, adjacent squares.*mumble, mumble* means 'behind the DM's screen'. You know, when something is important and you roll a die, but let the players see the die. They just know that something 'bad' may or may not be happening...[/sblock]"Ouch!""Looks like the Legion caught the Dusty Quill team with their pants down! First blood goes to the Legion of Bone!
