Re: In the Land of Zu
The third group of aerial attackers swoop down now, targets Jheridan, Tealon, Ioelenna and Captain Grant.
01:39, Today: GM StarMaster rolled 20,6,23,21 using 1d20+4,1d20+4,1d20+4,1d20+4 ((16,2,19,17)).
One just misses Jheridan, the second one misses Tealon by a wide margin, the third one hits Ioelenna for 6 points of damage, and the fourth one hits the captain with a javelin for 5 points of damage.
As the 1st and 2nd groups turn and swoop for their next attack, the crew has plenty of time to attack first.
Having missed with his first grapple bolt and having only one left, Tealon takes better aim this time... and hits! [7 pts.]
Finally realizing that the aerial assaulters are raiders, Danyka 'shoot's a Magic Missile at the perceived leader. [6 pts.] It's not enough to take him out, but he now knows that he's not out of range.
Jheridan hits the grappled one, and kills him. [15 pts.]
Ioelenna targets the same one she hit before with her Lesser Orb of Cold. The previous one did 8 points of damage; this one does 10. It's not enough to kill him, but takes him out of the action.
The rest of the crew again fires at the attackers.
Since Bosh doesn't have a range weapon, he moves to provide protection for the captain.
Creswick is able to rapid reload and manages to hit one with his crossbow. [6 pts.]
Captain Grant is injured, and also has to reload.
Gorren is reloading.
Katrin is reloading.
Marco is reloading.
Nicollo pulls out his third pistol and fires again. He's quite aware that the others have to reload, but the feels keeping up the attack could drive them off.
Rrgr fires his long bow at one of the birdmen, and manages to hit [9 pts].
