Completed [Play-by-Post] Magic World/BRP: "In Search of the Sorcerer"

[nikolokolus]

Urash completes his incantation and directs it at one of the eunuchs
Eunch tries to resist Agony (POW 13 vs. POW 17 = 30% chance) roll [1d100] = 86%
He clutches his head and doubles over insensible and unable to do anything but roll around on the ground in pain.

A few moments later Solon completes his spell and and a whirling vortex of flame 3m in diameter erupts in the doorway, adjacent to both of the Eunuchs . . .
Solon's Flames of the Sun: damage [1d6+2] = 6+2 = 8, [1d6+2] = 5+2 = 7
Luck rolls to avoid catching fire (65%) [1d100] = 46%, [1d100] = 63%
The eunuchs writhe and howl in pain as the flames wash over them, but they are spared their clothes and hair catching fire . . . for now. (Also, the doorway is effectively blocked off with Solon's floating bonfire, FWIW).

The eunuch to closest to Borric suffers horrific burn
Major wound [1d100] = 53. Luck Roll (65%) or lose characteristics: roll [1d100] = 70%
One of the eunuchs arms is so badly burned that it blackens and is rendered useless, and he is out of the fight.

 

[nikolokolus]

Marcán chases the madame around the sitting room and lunges for her, but comes up empty as the fat, but surprisingly agile woman ducks away
Wrestle (34) vs [1d100] = 40

The madame grabs a poker from next to the fireplace to swing at Marcán (30%) [1d100] = 46%, damage [1d6] = 3 But she misses.

The rest of her "girls" flee toward a door in the north end of the large room.

 

[nikolokolus]

Moggle now well inside the large spear-woman's guard, takes another stab.
Moggle's Smallsword attack (85%) roll [1d100] = 50%, damage [1d6+1] = 4+1 = 5 minus [1d4] = 3 Success (2 damage)
Amazon dodge's Moggle's attack (70%-30%=40%) roll [1d100] = 56% Failure.
She fails to sidestep his thrust, and blood oozes from a deep wound to her thigh; she looks pretty badly wounded with one arm held close against her body, useless, and her leg bloodied.

 

[nikolokolus]

L'ennui and ERYFKRAD both can take actions this round (including starting another spell)

updated tactical map

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Borric looks for an alternate exit.

 

[nikolokolus]

Borric looks for an alternate exit.

None seems readily apparent. However your situation has noticeably improved. One eunuch writhes on the ground out of his mind in pain from some unseen force, the other writhes around on the ground in pain from an unmistakably obvious source (3rd degree burns all over his right arm) and last but not least the lone remaining threat in the room, the Amazonian looking woman, is hard-pressed by Amon, Rhenmyr and Moggle and badly wounded. (Pssst, you could always tell Solon to terminate his spell).

 

[Grimgravy]

Spoiler

Your comrades didn't just magically appear. So there must be another, perhaps less problematic, exit.

Well, there's that too . . . GM fails Idea Roll

 

[L'ennui]

"Well done, Solon! ...Now stop blocking our way out here!"

 

[nikolokolus]

Solon stands mesmerized by the swirling vortex of fire as he seems just a little too interested in his own handiwork. Urash's shouting snaps him out of it and his eyes snap open a little bit startled. Suddenly the fire winks out of existence, the only evidence of its presence, the smoldering eunuchs writhing around on the ground and some charring of the doorframe. "Oh, sorry . . . I got a little carried away didn't I?"

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Well then, onward and outward.

 

[nikolokolus]

Borric steps out into the empty courtyard with the dazed and barely struggling U/Oona over his shoulder.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

U/Oona

Spoiler

How about we take A French compromise and make it Ouna?

 

[Grimgravy]

"Don't go that way!"

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Borric halts in his tracks, and makes an awkward turn to face Rhenmyr.

 

[Grimgravy]

"Giant life-like statues!"

 

[Siveon]

Spoiler

I'm gonna preemptively make an action and just say Marcán has another go at her for half skill.

Wrestle (34) vs [1d100] = 10

Even if this fails, can I get a check for this?

Spoiler

You're sort of on your own at this point and she's not really a combatant, so we'll sort of handle this separately, unless your comrades in arms join your chubby-chasing. Also, you're not at half-skill, that was Borric because he was overburdened with Ouna on his back and he only had one arm free.

And yes you get a check for wrestle.

madame's opposed wrestle vs. Marcán (30%) roll [1d100] = 66% Failure!

Marcán chases the madame around the room who seems intent on reaching the door where her girls just disappeared into, but she gets tackled from behind and taken to the ground.

Wrestle Outcomes

Siveon you need to make an opposed 17 STR vs. 11 STR roll on the resistance table; so 80% chance of immobilizing her completely, or you can automatically knock her to the ground (but of course she'll have a chance to Dodge to get back on her feet on her turn) or you could also try to asphyxiate or kill her . . . but I don't suspect that was your plan?

 

[nikolokolus]

Amon takes another vicious swing at the badly wounded amazon Orichalcum Broadsword Attack = [1d100] = 6 vs 91. Damage = [1d8+1] = 8+1 = 9 Special! (potential additional damage [1d8+1] = 7+1 = 8)
Amazon attempts to dodge vs. Amon (70%) roll [1d100] = 27% Success (reduces strike to a normal success)

The woman bends backward and avoids a slash that probably would have decapitated her, but still gets her chest opened up with a nasty gushing wound for her trouble and she collapses on the stairs dead.

 

[Llywelyn ap Gruffydd]

"It looks like the rest went that way." Amon points with his bloody broadsword. "I think we should follow our comrade, as it sounds like a struggle is ongoing in the next room. We should then chase down the other, uh, ladies? And then put an end to whatever is going on here." Amon tilts his head with a look of confusion. "Wait, what IS going on here?"

 

[L'ennui]

"Never mind the maidens, we have the girl Oona! Let us get out of here while we still can."

 

[nikolokolus]

A low, sonorous bell or gong starts to ring from inside the manor . . .

 

[L'ennui]

"... and that's our cue. Damn the statues, we have to get out of here!" Urash quickly joins Borric outside.

 

[Grimgravy]

"We have a boat, without potential death statues along the way and without a large group of warrior women at the end. I suggest we take it."

 

[L'ennui]

"Is it far from here? With all this commotion, I suspect we have company on the way!"
