The combat screen is for my reference. It is what's happened to this point, and allows me to track HP, DMG, Initiative, etc.

Please PM me in the future with procedural questions so that we don't bog down the combat thread with minutia.

I'm going to delete your post, Bruno - PM me if I haven't answered your question.

Gildan living on the edge firing pell-mell through the doorway. As the smaller ghoul who initially attacked Weasel stands, the first arrow strikes him square in the chest. As the second arrow streaks toward the little critter, it falls, and the arrow passes harmlessly until it ricochets off the wall.

Ghoul/ghast: Dining area: One ghoul and it's boss the ghast remain standing and very game. Turning toward the source of their torment, both rush from the room at a full sprint toward Gildan: The first swipe by ghast hits (1), but the second swipe misses. Unfortunately for Gildan, the third is right on point: a critical hit. Total damage is 17 points damage. Also, Gildan needs to make a saving throw against paralyzation: elfs are not immune to ghast touch. As the second ghoul races out, it takes a minor hit from Bruknar (1hp) but keeps on going. With a snarl of sharp teeth, the ghoul hits with it's claw for three more points of damage to Gildan.

Gildan Roll d20 for save vs. paralysis, please.

Bruknar hit the ghoul running past him (-1). Uthecar missed the same ghoul

Myrrick misses the ghast as it runs past.

-----------------------------
Down in the lounge, Kullonar lines up a terrible blow to the ghoul that threatens him. His mighty orcish thews heave the morning star and smash the beastie. It falls dead at his feet.

While Bruno finds his aim off this round, Zan picks up the slack and slams two more magic missiles into the thing. It also drops.

Current sitrep: ghouls in the lounge are all dead.
----------------------------------------------------------
One ghast and one ghoul are still extant and outside the dining chamber, both are interested in snacking on Gildan.

Gildan is down to one hp. He starts the next round's actions after rolling for a saving through w/ a d20.

Breathing heavily, Kullonar looks around for the rest of his companions.
(OOC: Without a map, I really have no clue as to where everyone is.)

Seeing that they still weren't quite done, "Ahhh  hell" Zan took aim at  the ghast and fired a few more missiles.

09:42, Today: Zan rolled 2,2 using 1d4+1,1d4+1.  ghast.   talk about your crap rolls

Gildan fails his save and isn't far from death.

OOC:
11:50, Today: Gildan Stalker rolled 5 using 1d20.  Save vs Petrification.
I assume he can't act any until he's unparalyzed?

Gildan - that is correct. You're down, but not out. They start munching on you; a dark shroud seems to close around you as you slip into unconsciousness.

With the ghast and ghoul feasting, the rest of the party has initiative.

Uthecar: Uthecar's blow knocks the bigger of the two bullies. The ghast turns and looks up him and growls horribly. Uthecar did 7 points of damage to the ghast.

Bruknar: Bruknar swings his morning star with some effect: 2 points of damage.

Zan: Makes his move up to the dining chamber then fires off two more magic missiles, scoring the nearest beastie (ghast) for four points of magic missile damage; this in turn forces the ravenous beast to take stock. Standing, he heads for the nearest party member, with a soul tearing scream. Uthecar is nearest.

Waiting on Bruno, Kullonar and Myrrick to take their turns.

Ghouls Initiative 6

Bruno attacks the nearest ghoul.


I think you might have missed my post in Message #332 -- that action was before your last Combat Screen and after the first round... Maybe?

If not, I rolled another attack, which is even less likely to hit, so I didn't bother to roll damange:

16:21, Today: Bruno Rhunthane rolled 7 using 1d20+4. 

"Get off of him, hellspawn!" Kullonar yells, wading in and swinging his morningstar.

16:57, Today: Kullonar rolled 12 using 1d20+1.  Morningstar attack.

Both clerics and Zan rush from the lounge up through the dining area into the hallway beyond. With two dwarves, and Myrrick all standing in the way, both of their efforts go astray.

Waiting on Myrrick.

Myrrick continues to attack the ghouls, orwhatever sor tof animated undead they were, he was done. This needed stopped now.

21:00, Today: Myrrick rolled 8 using 1d10+4.  dmg.

20:59, Today: Myrrick rolled 16 using 1d20+4.  hit.

Enraged, Myrrick plunges the head of the halberd into the nearest and ugliest of the two remaining undead. A piercing cry shocks the living the sound bringing torment to the party's ears. The last remaining ghoul stands. His frame bent over Gildan's still form, his hands outstretched, the vile thing hisses in warning, careless that the entire party is about to ruin his day.

Initiative to the ghoul: Gildan is still alive but unconcious.

Myrrick is nearest to the beastie. His claws do little more than scratch his armor, his teeth clamp together on empty air.

"Zip Zip"  two more missiles went flying


21:18, Today: Zan rolled 5,3 using 1d4+1,1d4+1.  mm.

Good news, bad news: the wand fires off two more missiles, the ghoul is dead!

The wand disintegrates in your hand.

The party looks down on Gildan. His wounds are terrible as blood flows freely from bite and claw. He is unconscious...and this reminds you that Weasel is in the dining area, a grim irony that causes one or two of you to shake your heads.

"Heavy lifting isn't done yet," Bruknar said. "Let's get this fellow into the room and secure our perimeter."

ooc: good fight, folks. party actions please.

Before we move the newcomer, Kullonar kneels alongside his bloody body and places his hands on the man's forehead. A brief glow emanates from the bracers on his wrists. "Wake up now, good sir."

As Kullonar crouches and lays hands upon what appears to be an elf, a shining bronze light suffuses the stricken warrior before sinking deeply into his wounds. With a gasp of shock, the elf's eyes open wide, a look of terror twisting his face. Noting the half-orc above him, he cries out and tries to scrabble away in fear.

the elf is awake with 1 hit point.

ooc: Nicely played!

"Easy there, friend. I'm not going to eat you...unlike the hellspawn which were tearing up your fleshy bits." the half-orc grins, revealing sharp tusk-like teeth.
"Your arrival was divinely guided and no doubt saved lives. I am Kullonar, of the Cudgel, and these are my companions."

Gildan crabwalks backwards until his back hits the wall. He eyes the half-orc suspiciously as he does, but quickly realizes his mistake. Looking down at his partially healed wounds, he gets up unsteadily and says, "Uh, thanks. I guess I was bit too gung-ho back there. That's a lesson I never seem to learn."

Checking out that his gear is still in working condition, he looks around, "Are all of those abominations gone? If you helped finish them off, I owe you more than my life. The undead are..." he stops and spits to indicate his feelings.

Bruno follows Kullonar indicating Zan, "Aye, we managed to finish them off with brother Zan's wand.

"I am Bruno Rhunthane and am pleased to offer you the blessings of the Soul Forger."

As he speaks he presents the holy symbol of Moradin and in doing so and his hands glow similarly to the Half-Orc's had moments ago.

OOC:

12:46, Today: Bruno Rhunthane rolled 1 using 1d8.  Cure Light Wounds.

Sorry, Gildan, only 1 more healed.
