Iskander takes aim against the mage-man, with his knife, and throws it, to little effect, but possibly breaking his concentration. He withdraws back into the passageway, out of sight.

Chou-Zhen gestures as the arrows fly, but is still struck by one missile.  Unfazed, he lashes again with his lightning whip at the remaining wizard.

[Private to GM: 05:01, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 15 using 3d6.  Deflect Missile, roll to cast (15  -1 for spells on).
05:06, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 10 using 3d6.  Deflect Missile, roll to cast (15  -1 for spells on) (Luck, roll 2x and take the better).
Injury Tolerance (Homogenous) gives 1/2 damage after DR for impaling (B380) instead of 2x, so taking 2 hp.
05:14, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 8 using 3d6.  Lightning Whip, roll to hit.
05:14, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 8 using 3d6.  Lightning Whip, roll to hit.
05:15, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 1 using 1d6.  Lightning Whip, Damage.]

Iskander draws his sai in his empty hand, having thrown his other knife.

Jin effortlessly dodges both arrows, and readies his war club

ooc: dodges successful. Ready the Tetsubo.

In reply to Jin (msg # 984):

The six archers draw arrows. Meanwhile, the male recasts his
 spell, enveloping  his hand in black flame, even as he twitches from the lightning whip.
One of the ninja rushes Chou-Zhen and swings at him.
The other races forward and swings at Jin.
[Private to Jin: dodge, parry or take 5pts cutting before DR]
[Private to Chou-Zhen Mou: dodge or take 3 pts cutting before DR]

In the distance a bell is rnging.

Jin stepped swiftly back as the ninja approached, batting aside its blade with his massive tetsubo, before taking swinging its mass at the one who'd dared to face him.

ooc: Retreating parry: Success.
Attack with tetsubo: Success. 17 crushing.

[Private to GM:
09:52, Today: Secret Roll: Jin rolled 11 using 3d6.  Feverish retreating parry - 14.
09:55, Today: Jin rolled 15 using 3d6.  attack-16.
09:55, Today: Jin rolled 17 using 3d6+4.  dmg.]

(OOC: Dodge Failed.  Where did arrows hit so that I may take appropriate damage?)

Ales, irritated by being hit by arrows, held out his hand and chanted.  A giant red flame jet appeared in his hand.  He aimed it squarely at the guy in front of him, ready for him to feel the burn he was already feeling.

(Flame Jet (14) passed, unless GM applies penalties.)

In reply to Jin (msg # 986):

Blood and brains splatter as Jin takes the head off of his opponent.




[Private to Ales Konstantin: generic torso hits. Spell is cast, make a roll at -3 with innate attack]

Luckily, Ales's chainmail takes the majority of the damage.  However, those two points of damage still smarts.

And, if those pesky ninjas thought the volley of arrows was going to distract him, they had another thing coming.  Despite their effort, Ales manages to launch his flame jet at the villain in front of him.

(OOC: Innate attack (jet) (15) roll passed at a 12.  Even with the 3 point penalty to concentration, it still passes at a 12.)

Airis slips out of the shadows and strikes at the neck of Yazuki Mishuni.

[Private to GM: Today: Airis Moonshadow rolled 14 using 3d6.  Neck strike To strike is 17].

OOC: you only took two points of damage from two arrows, at their full damage... wearing chain mail? you sure you calculated that properly? xD

Amidst the commotion, Iskander sneaks across the threshold of the entrance, and into the shadows of the room. OOC: made stealth roll by 6.

Chou-Zhen misses the rhythm of the ninja's sword, and the blade bites.  He staggers slightly from the blow but, queue switching, lashes his lightning whip at the mage once again -- missing cleanly.

"Kill this wizard, Ales!"


[Private to GM: 05:04, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 10 using 3d6.  Dodge (8 w/o backpack, +1 for Haste).
Takes 3 points net from the sword cut, leaving HP at 3, Reeling
05:13, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 14 using 3d6.  Lightning Whip, roll to hit (-3 for shock).]

OOC
Impaling weapons do x2 damage after DR. chainmail in 4e is
weak to crushing, not impaling. now roll damage for the flame
 jet... and how much FP do you have left, since you were
already  Spellburning  hp?

 (OOC: There is still 5 fp after casting the flame jet spell.  The chainmail is 4/2 against crushing, so I'm probably fucked there, too.)

Ales is aiming for the vitals of the male wizard.  "I'm trying, Chou, I'm trying", he says as he hopes his attack is enough to get rid of the pesky villain.

(OOC: Damage is 5.)

Visibly slowed by his injuries, Chou-Zhen lashes his lightning whip once more at the wizard, missing again.

[Private to GM: 18:59, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 13 using 3d6.  Lightning Whip, roll to hit.]


OOC: that 4/2 indicates your chainmail absorbs 4 points from attacks other than crushing -- so an arrow that does 4 before DR doesn't even penetrate.

Iskander is watching from the shadows, waiting for a tactical advantage he can exploit in the battle. OOC: rolling tactics (made the roll with one point to spare.)

In reply to Iskander (msg # 997):

Airis provides a Coup de gras for the semi conscious
sorceress, and she is now behind the remaining swordsman.

The male magician's robe bursts into flames,  and he staggers back, his hand still blazing.

[Private to Iskander: attacks vs the make magicians might help, and any disruption of the archers would be a good idea-acrobatics to close with them would work]

The six bow ninja are drawing their bows
This message was last edited by the GM at 12:22, Mon 07 Nov 2016.

Flipping his leather whip toward the ninja bowmen to shorten range, Chou-Zhen speaks a word, and the room fills with a sulfurous cloud, curiously absent where Jin, Ales, Lee, Iskander, Airis, and Kho Khilana are (as well as where Chou-Zhen stands, of course).

"Stand still, everyone, and don't move if you must defend."

The spell cast, Chou-Zhen drops into lotus position to rest.

[Private to GM: 04:55, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 13 using 3d6.  Stench, roll to cast (4 hex radius) (-1 for spells on).
Mana drawn from power item, now empty.]

OOC:we're all going to have to leave the area, or make will rolls each turn, until the spell ends?

In reply to Iskander (msg # 1000):

As the gas cloud forms, the ninja fire their bows.
Arrows strike Alwz and Lee, but are blocked by their armor. 3 arrows fly at Jin, one at Chou-Zen, which flies over him as he reaches the floor. All three on Jin may strike him!

The last swordsman advances in Chou, his back to Airis.

Jin, who is still in the formerly-beaded doorway and not in the room and thus not in the area of Chou's cloud anyway, throws himself to the ground to avoid the arrows, letting them all pass harmlessly over his head to strike whoever is behind him.

He then rolls to the side, putting the wall between himself and the archers before starting the laborious process of standing up.

ooc: Drop n Dodge vs 3 arrow attacks: pass, pass, pass.
round 1: crawl (move 1) down the corridor so he's no longer in view to the archers.
round 2: get to his knees.
round 3: stand up.

Ales, taking advantage of the sulfurous cloud, casts Recover Energy, in preparation for some major spellcasting.  He places his shield up to defend himself while he absorbs as much mana from the area as he can.

(OOC: 15:54, Sat 05 Nov: Ales Konstantin rolled 9 using 3d6.  Recover Energy (15).)

ooc: Ales - Recover Energy isn't a spell that you cast. It just cuts the time it takes you to recover fp in half, from 1 point per 10 minutes, to 1 point per 5 minutes. The effect is passive.
