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

Spoiler

How far to the inn?

Rhenmyr is about 40 meters away (about 14 MOV away, but you aren't engaged in combat, so in a dead sprint you could get there in about half a round.)

Agility [1d100] = 3 vs 70

Critical success (you can check the box next to Dexterity on your character sheet it's eligible for improvement on the next experience roll)
Borric braces himself on the lip of the skylight and srprings deftly to the other side of the sill.

 

[Grimgravy]

Rhenmyr cuts Sreng's boat loose and advances spear and shield at the ready.

 

[L'ennui]

As his spell fails to affect Sreng, Urash stares in amazement. "By the Gods... Such remarkable depths of idiocy, yet it talks and breathes!"

Urash takes a few steps back grips his staff tightly, waiting to see how the situation unfolds. He calls out: "Moggle, old chap! Best get out while the getting is good!"

 

[nikolokolus]

So far Urash and Rhenmyr are delaying until the end of the round.

NOTICE

Forgot to say this earlier, I'll probably be a little bit busy this next week due to an unexpected family illness. I'll try to update when I can.

Thanks.

 

[nikolokolus]

Alright, anybody got any crazy stunts they're trying to perform?

ERYFKRAD Siveon Llywelyn ap Gruffydd it time to fell giants!

 

[Llywelyn ap Gruffydd]

Spoiler

my goal is to keep the black cloud going for the 18 rounds and stay stuck on Sreng, like Sreng is stuck on stupid.

Spoiler

Any way I can climb down into the tavern roof beams and leap down on Sreng with my maul?

Spoiler

Sure. You could climb through the roof and down on to a beam, then make a leap, but it would be about a 6 meter drop.so three rolls: a climb check to drop on to a beam, a jump check to mitigate 1D6 of falling damage, and an attack roll limited to CONx1 because he's enveloped in a roiling ball of blackness.

There are six smaller Giants in his retinue still inside the tavern who are not shrouded in darkness which would let you attack without beingblimited to CONx1. Your maul attack against them is limited by your jump skill percentage. On the plus side, if you successfully land an attack you double your damage bonus.

 

[Siveon]

Marcán continues to go for the shins.

Spoiler

Sword (89) vs [1d100] = 45
Falcata Damage [1d8+2] = 3+2 = 5 + [1d2] = 2 +[1d4] = 4

 

[nikolokolus]

Sreng bellows in rage as Marcán takes another whack at Sreng's kneecaps. (7 damage).

Sreng's henchmen seem to have gained their senses and raise their massive clubs and thunder behind him through the doors, heedless of the ball of darkness. Borric sees the fey-looking barkeeper weave his hands in a complex pattern, and hears him uttering strange syllables.

 

[Grimgravy]

Spoiler

Are they all squeezing through the doorway Sreng is standing in or plowing through the walls or bunched up or what?

Spoiler

pushing through the doorway from behind Sreng.

 

[L'ennui]

Spoiler

Is there a cart full of hay somewhere nearby, or anything else highly flammable? Fancy rugs, oil-fueled street lamps, etc.? Given that mind-affecting magic can't subdue these dimwits, alternative measures are called for.

make a POWx3 Luck roll.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Borric tosses caution and good sense to the winds and makes his move upon Sreng.

Climb: [1d100] = 50 vs 70, Jump: [1d100] = 67 vs 64, and Attack: [1d100] = 47 vs

On the upside, He is no longer dangling from the roof.

The Bitch is Back

Alright guys, I'm home. Hit me with all of your crazy tactics, Salmon Leap hammer drops, ankle-biting sword thrusts and burned tavern plans

Urash looks about sees a small open barrel of smoking tar being used to seal the gunwales of a dry-docked fishing boat about 30 feet away from the open door of the tavern where Sreng and his cohorts are spilling out of.
Meanwhile, Borric drops from the beams overlooking the chaos of the tavern patrons falling over themselves to get out of the way of Sreng and his brutish henchmen. Fortunately he doesn't fall in the fire, but unfortunately he falls badly right after landing his blow on an unsuspecting ogre, injuring his ribs: Borric's falling damage for 6 meters: [2d6] = 7 damage (No armor roll) ERYFKRAD even though your jump was a failure, your attack succeeded against a defenseless, foe which is +50 percentiles to your skill against no dodge or parry (so still a normal success). Go ahead and make your damage roll with double your damage bonus because of the extra momentum of your drop (1d10+3+2d4)

What size of barrel are we talking about, is it something Urash could move by himself?

 

[nikolokolus]

Spoiler

Spoiler

well, its SIZ is 12 (roughly 150lbs/70kg) so to move it with brute strength; i.e. lifting it and walking around, would require a STR 9 vs SIZ 12 resistance roll which is 35% for Urash. Kicking it and spilling its contents just requires a normal effort roll (45%) but frankly, its really not even that hard to spill it from where it sits, the roll would be "easy" which doubles your effort roll percentiles to 90% each round.

[nikolokolus]

Borric's maul devastates the ogre's kneecap (major wound) giving him a pronounced limp (slowed to 5 move, still able to fight).

 

[nikolokolus]

First Round

As far as I can tell from re-reading back a few posts, everybody but Marcán, Amon and Borric still has an action they can take. Hit me with whatchya got.
