Re: Adventures on the Moon
((OOC: *grumble, grumble* Rough week (or two...). I started to reply to this thread at some point and then I got distracted and forgot to get back to it! Next time, WAKE ME UP!))
Adran cast his Sleep spell at the pursuing hoard, just as they realize that their prey has veered to the side and gone down a side tunnel but that there are more targets in front of them now! The numbers didn't seem to faze them.
12:00, Today: Mysterion rolled 6 using 2d8 ((4,2)).
Unsure of whether these other folks were friend or foe, Adran sort of targeted the middle to back of the horde, not really expecting to have much success.
5 of the dozen or so creatures instantly fall down mid-charge, and their fellow creatures don't seem to have any concern about running right over them. Fortunately, it doesn't wake them up.
Rodrigo attacks and defends against the first one to get near, one with horns, but misses.
Mort stepped forward to meet the charging horde as well. He smashes his hammer down on the first one to reach him, and flattens the creature to the floor of the tunnel!
Tom also attacked the first one to come near. He, too, scores a deadly hit upon the creature and it slumps to the floor.
Umbro strides forward to meet the horde and sidesteps down the side tunnel on the opposite side from Adran. He swings and misses as the horde surges past him.
2:19, Today: Mysterion rolled 3,8,11,18,13 using 1d20+1,1d20+1,1d20+1,1d20+1,1d20+1 ((2,7,10,17,12)).
The horde strikes back! The one Rodrigo attacked strikes back... and also misses!
Two of them manage to surge forward and attack Mort... because he's a large target... but they both miss.
Another one moves forward to fill the spot of the creature Tom killed and attacks Tom. Somehow, he gets lucky and manages to hit... for 3 points of damage.
Umbro's missed attack draws the attention of one of the lunatiks running past and it turns to attack, but misses.
With Rodrigo, Mort and Tom pretty much filling up the width of the tunnel, Aaron, Anneth, Anya, Elwood, Gierdon and Mista don't have much of a chance to get involved at this point, except maybe with a ranged weapon.
The first one who wants to, though, can move forward around Tom to attack the rest of the horde that has come to a stop at the unexpected opposition.
