Hograth continues to slash away at the undead torsos...

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under to hit, 10 cut damage, and 5 under retreating Dodge if needed.

Parry against an unarmed foe does damage, does it not? Or are these guys armed?]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 616):

Parried by weapons do damage, and these are unarmed opponents. I wasn't sure if that was a shield bash or an axe parry.

Urrun cleaves into its torso, and its rotting intestines spill onto the floor. [private to Urrun: the sword is a broadsword, with +1 pussiance]

More dead can be heard shambling closer to this group of 3 badly damaged and two un harmed undead.

Yrrun is disgusted... Need fire! he swing at an angle to avoid the ceiling but to come down on the head or shoulder of this dead creature.



[Private to GM:   19:09, Today: Urrun rolled 10 using 3d6.  Sword downward swing  by 4
19:10, Today: Urrun rolled 9 using 2d6+2 Cutting.  Sword Damage. .]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 618):

That last one is cleaved in twain!


Goran withdraws to set his flail ablaze with the flames of the midwinter sun!

In reply to Walking corpse (msg # 619):

The one Hograth hit again still going? If it is, Hograth will keep swinging away, using his shield only in concert with his axe to parry any attacks as painfully possible. Not that the dead feel pain...

[Private to GM: Attack, 7 under skill to hit, 5 cutting damage to torso, parry with axe, 2 under skill to hit if used in concert with shield, 8 cut damage.]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 620):

You are effectively taking an all out attack.
The dead thing goes down on the first strike.

One claws at Goran, and misses.
Another tries to close with Urrun, and claws for 5 crushing before DR unless dodged or parried... parries doing damage of course.

Urrun attempts an all out Defense, his parry misses the clumsy move of the corpse but his dodge allows him to avoid the blow ...

[Private to GM:     11:50, Today: Urrun rolled 14 using 3d6.  Parry. missed by 4
11:54, Today: Urrun rolled 7 using 3d6.  Dodge. made by two]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 622):

Hograth waits for the next one, axe poised to strike...

[Private to GM: I though that since parry was a defence, something not possible with an all out attack, that one excludes the other. My understand, possibly flawed, was that it was a regular attack with a standard defence (a parry) that could actually benefit from the retreating maneuver, though not as much as a dodge. A little confused...]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 623):

I need to read up on parrying with weapons vs unarmed attacks... it seemed a broad loophole...


...and having done so yes, it essentally give you a hit on the attacking limb when you successfully parry. This works, because it is at the lower parrying roll rather than the weapon skill roll. Carry on.

The zed attacking (unsuccessfully) Urrun has turned its back to Goran, who now swings at it, smashing its spine and setting it ablaze like so much tinder...

Urrun, ready to swing at the Creature attacking him sees it suddenly smashed and set afire ... Goran appears behind it as the thing sinks to the floor. Urrun nods Good   and looks for another one close enough to hit, again he swings in a downward arc to take the creature from right should to left hip.

[Private to GM: 11:41, Today: Urrun rolled 13 using 3d6.  broadsword. made by 1
11:42, Today: Urrun rolled 7 Cutting using 2d6+2.  Sword Damage. ]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 625):

Ah, cool. Will continue to attack any that come close, and parry any attacks...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 626):

Urrun cleaves into the zombie, doing enough damage that it stumbles off into the wall.


You can hear more shuffling feet and moaning!

Urrun looks around for where they are  and comes on guard again.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 628):

Hograth continues to wait for the next one...

[Private to GM: Ready Attack, 6 under skill to hut, 8 cut damage. Parry, 9 under Parry with shield to hit, 9 cut damage.

Rolled a second round in case it is needed,

Ready Attack, or attack if in range, 4 under skill to hit, 8 cu damage. Parry 4 under kill to hit, 15 cu damage.]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 629):

Hograth cuts through another wounded one, and is very clearly aware that these are Undead creatures, and should flee Hades wrath.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 630):

"Why make them run when we can just kill them all! Hograth mutters, readying his next attack."

[Private to GM: Were both attacks used last round? If not,

Ready Attack, or attack if in range, 4 under skill to hit, 8 cu damage. Parry 4 under kill to hit, 15 cu damage.

Next attack, 7 under to hit, 8 cut damage.]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 631):

The undead falls to your blow, but a dozen more approach the light.

Goran smites another, setting it ablaze with the light of Hors,  but there are now perhaps forteen...

This Crazy!   Urrun again makes his downward angled  strike.



[Private to GM:  19:05, Today: Urrun rolled 13 using 3d6.  Sword swing.  By 1
19:05, Today: Urrun rolled 10 cutting  using 2d6+2.  Sword Damage.]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 633):

Urrun lops off an arm, but the thing swings at him with the stump and misses.

All of the accumulated undead are moaning in unison!

Urrun gives it another go with the sword.




[Private to GM:   19:23, Today: Urrun rolled 8 using 3d6.  Sword swing.   By 6
19:23, Today: Urrun rolled 12 cutting using 2d6+2.  Sword Damage.]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 635):

Urrun cleaves the foul thing in half. Its legs and pelvis remain standing,a nd then slowly topple over, tangling the legs of another approaching from behind.

Urrun recovers for the next Zombie

In reply to Urrun (msg # 637):

"I know you want them all dead, but there are only three of us!"

no Problem, just make arm tired.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 639):

"Urrun is right. It would be wrong of us who are capable of dealing with them to leave this mess for someone else to clean up. Better to clean up what we can."

He continues to hack down all that come within reach.
