ooc: Don't forget the chance to hit someone else, Danos. Makes firing into a melee extra fun!

In reply to Oren (msg # 128):

Danos' arrow glances off of its helmet.

This skeleton is wearing a slightly  rusted chain hauberk and a helmet of a
different style from the ones you defeated earlier.

In reply to Skeletal warrior (msg # 129):

"Club, finish it."

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 130):

Club swings at it, battering the bony warrior, but wavers after striking it. The small uneven elemental seems unsteady on its feet.

In reply to earth elemental (msg # 131):

"Club! What happened?"

He cast a spell and touches his friend.

[Private to GM: Major Healing, 2 free point to heal 4 points. What would he roll to determine what made him unsteady?]

Oren tries to remember if he's heard anything about swords like that the skeleton wields.

17:46, Today: Oren rolled 12 using 3d6.

Syvanus gathers himself for another try....

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 134):

Club recovers fully from a sudden loss of fatigue.

The sword being used by this undead warrior looks suspiciously like one wielded over forty years ago by the Shevnian captain of the lost pay train.
It was an heirloom of his family and won him many battles.

"This was the captain of the Shevnians," Oren told the others. "Try not to damage his sword... if not enchanted, it's a valuable antique, and the family will pay quite well to get it back."

In reply to Oren (msg # 136):

"Perhaps, but right now it is hostile. Club, smash that skeleton!"

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 137):

Club smashes at it, and once again seems  woozy. The thing recovers and swings at Club, missing it.

In reply to Oren (msg # 128):

OOC: I don't think there's a penalty to fire into melee if you have a clear LOF. Given the information the GM has provided, I don't think there's a problem.

From what I can tell, there are two people in melee with the monster, in a 3 yard wide hall. So something like this maybe?

         ___
     ___/Ske\___
    /Clu\let/Syv\
    \b__/   \anu/
    /   \___/   \
    \___/   \___/
    /   \___/   \
    \___/   \___/
    /Kir\___/Dan\
    \Pic/   \os_/

I know we're not actually doing combat with a tactical map, which is why I specified that Danos wouldn't fire if he didn't have a clear LOF since it's possible he might have. The GM said he did shoot, so I assume my LOF was clear.

In any case, it takes about four or five rounds for Danos to take a shot like that, so he's probably had his one and only shot for this monster.

If it's a real concern I can just switch to shooting non called shots, that way I'll be able to take the -4 for an intervening person and still have an effective skill of 16, which means my chance to hit someone in our party is less that 1%

In reply to Danos (msg # 139):

Kirpich again uses magic to heal his friend.

[Private to GM: Minor healing, rolled 9 under skill, 2 points of healing]

Putting away his bow, Stringfellow draws his sword and prepares to step in if Syvanus or Club falter and have to draw back.

Syvanus keeps his blade up and concentrates...




[Private to GM: Did the fire seem to have any affect agaisnt this skeleton?]

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 142):

The fire, club's  strikes and the arrow all seem to have done damage, but it seems to be ignoring the effects of these attacks. Perhaps they are not optimal to it's circumstance?



Club still seems a little wobbly.


Anyone have hidden lore:undead?

"Any sort of magical attack you can manage, Marlena?" Oren asked.

Syvanus flubs the spell ... He stagger slightly as he pulls back




[Private to GM: 15:01, Today: Syvanus rolled 13 using 3d6.  Breathe fire 4 D. Skill = 12]

Seeing Syvanus stumble, Stringfellow moves up to defend his recovery. While doing so he begins to sing at the skeleton.

[Private to GM: 06:41, Today: Stringfellow Hill rolled 13 using 3d6.  singing 15 (bardic terror).]

In reply to Stringfellow Hill (msg # 146):

Kirpich turns to heal Syvanus next.

[Private to GM: Rolled 9 under major healing 2 free fp to heal 4 pts.]

Syvanus holds up his hand... Not Injured ... just tired, blew a spell. need to rest.




[Private to GM: 14:21, Today: Syvanus rolled 12 using 3d6.  recover Energy. Made by 2. Actually not yet "tired"... down 7 of 11, so one point from it.]

In reply to Oren (msg # 144):

"I am better sgainst the living. I don't think Sleep magic would affect it."

"Appears we lack any real way to harm it," Oren said. "But of course, we didn't know we were up against a lich when we set out, or I'd have packed holy water. Given our inability to fight this thing, perhaps we should retreat, return to northport, sell the wand to refinance a second voyage with weapons more capable of harming the walking dead."

In reply to Oren (msg # 150):

"Would it be less effective without the sword?
Let me see if I can trim it a bit  around the edges."

"No idea. The dead aren't my specialty. But there's a lich down here, friends. And I don't think there's anything we can do to harm it."
