Completed Play-by-Post: In Search of the Sorcerer

[Helly]

Ker panics at the sight of the monsters and slings a stone at random
Sling attack [1d20] = 2 - if hit, damage: [1d4] = 1

 

[Grimgravy]

(Don't forget Crits do max damage)

OOC

I figured you would take care of it, as you did, but I'll mention the crit should it happen again. And if Ker doesn't brain me with random sling stones, wtf! I guess Ker really dislikes bugs.

"One down! Good job holding the line!"

Not a problem, just figured I should mention in case people might have forgotten. Maybe Ker rolled badly on purpose? He just can't bear to harm a creature even if it's a horribly mutated abomination.

Even Ker thinks huge blood drinking insects should all burn to a crisp

Spoiler

Since there is a good chance I might sling a stone into the back of someones head attempting to hit a bug, I am going to wait.

(Marcán still gets an action)
The mangy dog hangs back growling menacingly, but makes no sign that it's willing to attack.

The men on the line thank you for keeping it together. Speaking of which: What, if anything, did Ker's panic throw accomplish/destroy?

Hmmm, good question. By rule there's an equal chance to strike any combatant in the mêlée, so with equal numbers of friends and foes it's fifty-fifty.
60% chance to strike comrades [1d100] = 56: False if > 60%
Target of Ker's slingstone 1=Rhenmyr, 2=Sokrates, 3=Borric [1d3] = 3
In this case the projectile veers towards Borric, but sails harmlessly over his head (the first attack roll stands for any target the projectile might hit). It's been awhile since somebody tried to fire into combat and I forgot my own damn rules Thanks for reminding me Grimgravy

 

[Siveon]

OOC

If I'm not mistaken, is the door that me and Ker were guarding still closed, and at this moment almost everyone is situated near the burnt door?

 

[Grimgravy]

OOC

For the record, I'm pretty sure he Helly said Ker "panicked" and fired off "at random." I didn't take that as firing into our melee, but I'm happy with none of us being brained.

Siveon The door you and trigger happy Ker are at is closed. Cormac is somewhere in the middle of the room. Sokrates, Borric, and I are holding the line at the burnt door. One bug down. One? to go.

 

[Siveon]

Marcán kicks open the door, giant bugs aside.
Kicking doors is fun: [1d6] = 6

 

[nikolokolus]

Marcán kicks open the door, giant bugs aside, and attacks the first thing he sees.
Damage(Falcata Two-H): [1d8+2] = 5+2 = 7 To hit: [1d20 + 2] = 13+2 = 15

roll a d6 to see if your kick jars the door loose (3 in 6 chance). Regardless of the outcome, prising the door counts as your action for the round, but if the door opens you can still move up to 40 feet.

 

[Siveon]

I hate doors. Also, fixed.

Spoiler

Any chance I can save those rolls for later?

Sure, you can roll them over. Also I'm way off my game, I forgot to roll damage for the burst stasis field.
Siveon's damage from the burst stasis field [1d3] = 1
Just a flesh wound.

 

[Grimgravy]

OOC

Are we ready for round 2 and keeping our initiative? If so, the three of us at the door will try to finish off the second bug.

OOC

We're close, I was just waiting for Siveon's 'Open Doors' roll. I'm pretty swamped at work today, haven't had much time to post.

 

[nikolokolus]

Unfortunately as Marcán kicks the door as hard as he can all he gets out of it is a shockwave that sends a pulse of pain through his foot.

ROLL INITIATIVE
Tick
[1d6] = 2
Borric and Sokrates
[1d6] = 6

 

[Grimgravy]

Perhaps you missed this:

Kicking doors is fun: [1d6] = 6

Rhenmyr's initiative: Initiative [1d6+1] = 6+1 = 7

 

[nikolokolus]

Perhaps you missed this:

Rhenmyr's initiative: Initiative [1d6+1] = 6+1 = 7

Spoiler

Dang it, I missed the edit. Oh well, editing the above so it makes sense.

Carry on and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

 

[Helly]

Initiative [1d6] = 2
Ker calms down and ready another shot for the nearest beast.

 

[Llywelyn ap Gruffydd]

Initiative: [1d6] = 3
Cormac keeps his sling ready, and waits.

 

[Siveon]

Initiative: [1d6] = 1
Marcán looks out for any moving targets in front of him.

Spoiler

It was a 3, but I didn't associate it with the campaign/ didn't link it.

Also, Internet down, using phone. It sucks.

 

[Grimgravy]

OOC

With all initiative in and our people at range holding...

Rhenmyr tries to duplicate his previous attack with the second tick...

To Hit: [1d20+3] = 5+3 = 8 Damage (spear) [1d6+3] = 2+3 = 5

And fails.

 

[nikolokolus]

Borric and Sokrates step forward a pace to engage the other monstrosity.

Borric's Maul [1d20+2] = 18+2 = 20 Damage [2d4+2] = 7+2 = 9
Sokrates' sword strike [1d20+2] = 16+2 = 18, damage [1d8+2] = 1+2 = 3

The two burly warriors hem the creature in and flank it, Borric's maul and Sokrates' sword both strike at the same time and a second later all that remains is a ruinous pile of glowing ichor and shattered chitin.

END OF COMBAT.

"So, who wagers that there'll be more of the little bastards elsewhere in this tower?"
