Klaengr moves around to the other side of the undead so that he is facing the fjord, to the north edge of the lighted area and brandishes the holy symbol of Aegir, facing the undead around. "Back to HELL, spawns of evil! AWAY WITH THEE!"


OOC - the movement and then Turn may take more than one round to accomplish.

18:59, Today: Klaengr Aegirson rolled 7 using 2d6.  HD of Skeletons Turned.
18:58, Today: Klaengr Aegirson rolled 7 using 1d20.  Turn Check.

Looking disbelievingly at the hammer that had struck him, Ludvig took vengeance upon the skeleton before noticing the others and retreating to help protect his companions.

Attack: 19 (after bonuses), 10 damage (also after bonuses)

Grinning like a mad man as he lets out a how of triumph.  Frothing at the mouth his muscles begin to buldge larger than normal.  Rushing toward the closest enemy on the field.

05:17, Today: Vermundr rolled 19 using 1d20+2 ((17

Amund, still a little unnerved by the undead, pulls his short bow of his back and fires some arrows at the mysterious dark riders.  At the same time, he whistles and shouts "Geri, heel!".

OOC:  Don't know what you want to do with a critical miss.

18:56, Today: Amund Gunvar rolled 18,1 using d20,d20.  Firing at Shadowing things.
18:57, Today: Amund Gunvar rolled 2 using 1d6.  First Arrow.

Klaengr maneuvers himself away from the edge of the fjord, but before he can reach a position from which to effect his inspired plan, a skeleton closes on him, raking at him with it's clawed hands, drawing blood from his right arm!

Behind him, Amund fires two arrows towards where he though he spotted something. He feels confident one arrow hit home, but the other flew low and shattered upon a large stone jutting out of the snow covered ground.

Geri twisted between his foes, barking and yapping, confused as he tried to bite a skeletons, but found his teeth unable to do any damage. The skeleton swung at the dog, but was thrown off balance by having one leg in the dogs mouth. Geri yelped in pain as the zombie clawed at his haunch, tearing at his flesh...

While the battle was not without it's sounds, the scrapping, the moaning, Geri's growls, the volume shot up as Vermunder finally decided to stop gnawing on his shield, roaring in rage and lashing out with his axe against the skeleton that had foolishly moved to attack him.

The well worn axe smashed thru bones, crushing the rib cage, however the skeleton only staggered back then swung it's short sword, however the blade failed to comment, glancing off his buckler.

Almost absent-mindly, Ludvig's mighty blade shattered the remains of his foe, before he stepped back to get shoulder to shoulder with Hrunnwulf. The brightness of the light hid the fact that Klaengr, whom he assumed was behind him, was off in the darkness...

Eager to close, Hrunnwulf let his sensibilities take over. Taking a defensive stance, he moved sideways to cover a battered but clearly human man get behind him.

"'ware the fjord lad, theres a cliff back there."

The lad nodded his understanding. Still concerned, the gratitude on his face was clear.

"'ware the Jotunn man, 'ware the Jotunn. If he defeats you, I'll welcome the jagged rocks..." Several others human, both females, passed even further to his left, but he heard Dragnar call to them from behind him.

Amunds keen ears suddenly picked up the sound of hooves, right in front of him, and closing fast. The fiery sparks from it's hooves were visible, but he still couldn't make out the form. He felt he soon would...

Klaengr continues to try to put skelltons and zombies between him and the fjord, ready to call upon Aegir to turn the undead bastards toward it when enough are in position.

Hruunwulf holds his position, protecting those behind him.  If one of the undead gets close enough by movement, he will strike with his axe!

_{19:45, Today: Hrunnwulf Jorgaldsen rolled 17,1,16,11 using d20,d20,d8+8,d8+8.  Hruunwulf attacks!}

Seeing the flaming hooves bearing down on him, Amund drops his bow and lithely unsheathes his swords.  He swings wildly at the unknown monster and calls feverishly for Geri to "Heel!".

21:40, Today: Amund Gunvar rolled 14,9 using d20,d20.  Long Sword, Short Sword.
21:41, Today: Amund Gunvar rolled 5,1 using d8,d6.  Damage: Long Sword, Short Sword.

Geri's ears perk up hearing his master and best friend.  He avoids the attack of the undead near him and rushes at top speed to Amund.

Realizing what Klaengr is doing -- and that he's likely to affect those closest to him first --  Dragnar tries to become useful by running to fill the gap between Hrunnwulf and Ludvig.

OOC: I'm out of position at the moment, and this (1) gets me in a useful place while (2) The Norn answers my litany of rookie questions. :)

growling and swinging wildly missing with the skeleton with his first swipe, the back hand connecting solidly.

Vermundr rolled 6 using 1d20+3.  Attack 1.
Vermundr rolled 18 using 1d20+3.  Attack 2.
Vermundr rolled 12 using 1d8+7.  dmg 2.

Risking life and limb, Klaengr rushes around the edge of the battle, trying to find a position from which to attempt him ploy. From in front of, out of the darkness however, charges a muscular black pony with something whose form and shape man was never meant to comprehend, a darkness which roils and bubbles, bizarrely mocking the shape of man, whip in hand, it moves to trample the cleric under the flame-sparking hooves oh his mount!

"By the power of the wind and the rain, but the fury of the storm, Aegir commands you to flee, return to your graves, abominations!" (OOC the stared undead are now fleeing mindlessly towards the fjord)

Having taken this action however, the cleric left himself exposed to the attacker, which tramples him to the grown, and takes a bit out of his hair!


Amund faces another such monstrosity, also aiming the run him down. Swing with both swords, Amund's efforts are for naught as one blade misses complete, and the other strikes the beasts muscular flank but does  not appear to do any harm. He suddenly felt quite along, out on the foggy moors! The Beast lashed back in fury, connecting with one hoof, the warrior managing to avoid the other hoof and the sharp gnashing teeth that aimed for his face with malice aforethought!

Fury incarnate, Vermundr smashed the skeleton before him, then charged forward. One of the larger skeletons spotted him and closed to meet the berserker face to face!

His presence freed Geri to duck out and race towards Amund!

Further back, Hurnnwuff lashes out with his axe, smashing an attacking skeleton with a single blow of his mighty axe! To his right, Ludvig was charged by a woman whose throat had been cut, and her flesh gnawed upon by some unknown beast! The mighty warrior brought his two handed blade around to slice her, but he missed, allowing the woman to close the gap and dig her teeth in to his flesh! It was at this moment that he realized his ward, the man he had sworn to defend, was not behind him, but across the battlefield, and being trampled by a midnight black horse and a rider of ineffable evil!

Calling out words of support, Dragnar took his position between and slightly behind the two warriors. Off to the right, he spotted two more of the muscular black ponies, and their hell-spawn riders...

Dragnar gallantly charges up, inviting Ludvig to leave the zombie for him so the warrior can deal with the greater threats beyond.  Alas, despite his best intentions of helping Ludvig with his zombie problem, the bard is wildly ineffective.



10:53, Today: Dragnar Donegal rolled 1 using 1d20.  R I, longsword (11 to hit).

10:54, Today: Dragnar Donegal rolled 8 using 1d20.  R1, shortsword (13 to hit).

(Sorry about that.  My prolonged stretch of poor rolling has followed me to this game.)

Hruunwulf spots a wrackspawn just ahead and to the right.  He charges forward, raising his axe for a mighty blow.

Klaengr, having done his best to chastise the recently or not so recently deceased that don't seem to know their station in unlife, hefts his heavy hammer and smashes it into the my little nightmare pony ("Evil is Magic!") once [4 HP damage], then missing wildly.



12:20, Today: Klaengr Aegirson rolled 19,4,1,6 using 1d20,1d6+1,1d20,1d6.  Attack the Napster.

Natural 1, not sure how you handle fumbles, so feel free to bone Klaengr now! :P

Realizing his normal weapons have no effect on these monstrosities, Amund sheathes his long sword and grabs his mace of Jotunn smashing.  Gripping it tightly he swings wildly as he tries to fend off the beast with his short sword in his off hand. All the while he makes a fighting retreat toward his comrades in the circle of light and yelling out to Geri.  "Geri, Amund cannot use you against this beast, run around and help Ludvig fight off the skeletons and zombies.  Head toward the light, these things here seem to be avoiding it."

11:26, Today: Amund Gunvar rolled 2 using 1d20.  Mace Smash.
This message was last edited by the player at 17:39, Mon 30 May 2016.

Geri's ears perk up as Amund commands.  He gives a quick "woof" and races off to help Ludvig.  He reaches one of the skeletons there and with teeth baring viciously dives at its back.

OOC:  Charging, plus back attack might hit?

11:32, Today: Geri rolled 9 using 1d20.  Bite that Skelly.
11:34, Today: Geri rolled 7 using 2d4.  Hit that Skelly?

Ludvig charged across the snowy ledge as he heard Klaengr make his pronouncement, hoping to cover the cleric should he need it. Too late he saw the the undead beast assault and assail his friend. Clumsily he tried to intercede with his sword.

Attack: 7

Seeing the large skeleton coming at him he swings a might blow that would have crippled most mortals.



05:19, Today: Vermundr rolled 13 using 1d8+7. Damage
05:19, Today: Vermundr rolled 20 using 1d20+3.  Attack

Dragnar swung his blade at the zombie closing on him, but the only result seemed to be to lure other undead towards him, in this a second zombie and a skeleton. The engaged zombie groaned something about 'brains' and swung a heavy head, impacting forcefully against the bards chest.

Hrunnwulf charged forward past the front rank of undead and attacked the Jotunn-bone, though both of his might blows failed to connect. The creature hefts a long bone spear dripping a viscous green ichor and stabbed at the mans direction, but failed to drive the serrated point home. To his right, second Wrackspawn passed towards Dragon and the other people.

Klaegnr faced his fearsome foe, his heavy hammer slamming forcefully into the creatures hide. I roared in pain and lashed out again, connecting with one hoof! The priest staggered, but held his ground. Across the battlefield, Ludvig raced in his direction, but would he reach the priest in time? Only time would tell! (OOC two more rounds, barring interference)

Roaring a fearsome challenge, Vermundr charged fearlessly into the Wrackspawn, smashing one of them a fearsome blow! Two lashed out with their fearsome spears, one connecting!

Meanwhile Geri chased after the fleeing skeletons and zombies, herding them away from the frightened humans...

Hearing Klaengr's apparent hit on one of these beasts gives Amund new hope and new vigor - if only someone told that to his weapons.

19:22, Today: Amund Gunvar rolled 7,6 using d20,d20.  Mace and Short Sword Attacks.

Hruunwulf bats the icor tinged spear away with the blade of his axe, then winds it around to gain momentum for more attacks!

---

_{20:13, Today: Hrunnwulf Jorgaldsen rolled 2,17,14,15 using d20,d20,d8+8,d8+8.  Hruunwulf attacks!}

Seeing that he has attracted the attention of several undead, Dragnar smiles.

Yes, smiles.

"Go on!" he urges Hrunnwulf as he positions his weapons at rather odd and seemingly-useless angles.

Then he . . . spins.  And as he spins, his blades flash here, then there, but always seeming to be perpendicular to the ground, as if designed to ward off any attempts to strike the bard.

Klaengr lands another solid blow on the Napster and risks taking a look back to see if the skeletons were still marching toward the fjord. He felt as if he made a critical error in judgement by not just convincing the team to leave this area immediately. But at this point, he was committed to winning, or die trying.

06:56, Today: Klaengr Aegirson rolled 16,6 using 1d20,1d6+1.  attack Napster.
