Re: Group Two: Weaving a Tale
For being mindless automatons, the suits of armor were proving to be surprisingly formidable foes. The party was in a rough spot and the suits had barely a scratch on them. And the situation didn't look to be getting any better for the adventurers either. The paladin, Tobias, attempted to bowl through the line of armors and he was met with flaming flails bashing against his shield.
Even so, the paladin got through. As Tobias bashed through the suits that were closing in around him to try and get back to his teammates, he sent two of the armors flying backwards. The first landed hard on the ground, but its flaming weapon went cartwheeling through the air directly toward Uri, threatening the bard's well-being. The second suit of armor was knocked into Sierpinski, who had been approaching to try and regroup with the paladin. The wizard was knocked into a heap with another suit close on his tail.
When Tobias finally stood free of the armors pursuing him and rejoined with his teammates, it was with a shield alight with flame. The heat hadn't yet penetrated through to his skin, but it would surly ruin his equipment's usability if he allowed it to keep burning. Still, if he took time to extinguish it, he would waste the few moments of advantage he had just bought himself.
Meanwhile, Brynn's tussle with one of the armors proved to be quite dangerous for the warrior. She had only missed lopping off its head by a hairsbreadth, but that small miss had been disastrous. Brynn felt a heavy weight strike her chest as the armor's flail knocked her against the wall. Embers flooded around her as the enemy's weapon left singe marks against her scale armor.
No doubt she was in a tight spot, but she was not alone here. Uri's distraction caught its attention just enough to provide her an extra opening for a counter tactic. Even with the wind knocked out of her, Brynn new an opportunity when it presented itself.
What do you do?
Tobias
You got through, but the outer side of your shield is on fire. It isn't hurting you (yet anyway), but the shield will become less effective the longer it is allowed to burn. You have a moment to act before the armors recover and are upon you once again.
Sierpinski
You avoided your first suit of armor, but unfortunately got knocked over by one of the suits Tobias had pushed through. You can either take 1d6+2 damage, or half that if your unseen servant gets destroyed in the process too. Armor applies. It is up to you if you want to activate your Spell Defense.
Brynn
You were smashed against the wall by one of the armors and the wind was partially knocked out of you. Take 1d6+2 damage. Armor counts. Also, take +1 forward from Uri's Aid.
Uri
There is a flaming weapon flying through the air toward you. You may try to avoid it with an appropriate roll. 10+ it is avoided, 7-9 take 1d4 damage or catch fire, 6- take 1d4 damage and catch fire. Armor applies.
