Tath follows along with Kerkin's group taking a spot near the rocks as instructed. When the signal is given Tath pushes hard on the rock.

08:36, Today: Tath rolled 4 using 1d6.  OD.

In reply to Tath (msg # 38):

Whispers, Rockslide, what a great idea smiling.

Lam also follows Kerkrin pushing on the area of rocks he is directed to push on.

14:30, Today: Lam Durus rolled 3 using 1d6.  Rock Slide.

The dwarf gives one of the stones a sharp twist, loosing it from its resting place.  "Come on ya knobs, push."

ooc: 18:41, Today: Kerkrin rolled 1 using 1d6. OD vs 1-2.

STR  8-13 1-2
STR 14-18 1-3

Rebeccah looks for one a little smaller and looser to give her a chance of even budging one.  The only thing she managed to do was slide herself backwards.

03:37, Today: Rebeccah rolled 5 using 1d6.  pushing rocks.

(Thanks for throwing in the proper info for others, Kerkrin.)

Kerkrin and Lam are able to get their chosen boulder so budge and start rolling down the hillside.  They pick up steam as they roll.  One runs into a goblin archer, bringing him down into the ravine with the boulder.  The other boulder smashes into an orc at the bottom, leaving a broken, bloody mess.

(I'm going to work this into combat rounds.  I'm out of time right now, so I'll finish updating later this afternoon.)

In reply to Man in Black (msg # 42):

OOC - No problem, I await next rounds call for actions as rolling boulders down into the ravine does take time :)

Seeing the success from the first boulders, Lam looks to Kerkrin for another boulder to try to push down.   Kerkrin, point to another boulder for me to push down, we got to keep this up and take out as many as we can.  and moves to the boulder Kerkern  pointed to and  as he does he looks to Rebeccah and Tath maybe the two of you can push on boulder at the same time that might be more successful?

The front line of three orcs clash with five spear wielding goblins.  Two of the goblins are cut down.  One of the goblins gets his spear in to jab an orc, doing minor damage.  An orc in the back row throws a dagger that nicks one of the archers.  The goblin archers loose their arrows.  The two orcs in the back throwing daggers at the archers go down with arrows in them.  The orc leader takes an arrow, but he remains standing.

Then the rocks start landing.  A goblin archer on the near slope is crushed.  An orc on the front line catches one of the boulders in the skull.


(New actions!)

Deniv continues to move towards the trussed up old man.  As soon as he gets close enough, he will gently tap on him to see if he is conscious and warn him to be silent.  He will then use one of the broadhead knives to cut the man's bonds.
If he sees any, he will also grab thrown daggers from the ground near them.

Jory tries to find another boulder which can be dislodged so that it rolls down the Hill to the orcs.

Tath continued struggle with the boulder attempting to loosen it and get it rolling.

OOC: 13:08, Today: Tath rolled 6 using 1d6.  Open Door. Blaming it on the mud, yep has to be the mud.

In reply to Tath (msg # 47):

Lam moved to another boulder to roll down but like Tath, he must have slipped on the mud and lost his grip as the boulder did not budge.

23:42, Today: Lam Durus rolled 5 using 1d6.  boulder roller.

Rebeccah puts her back to the boulder and pushes for all she's worth.  Her bare feet slid ineffectively on the soaking wet ground.  This wasn't going to work.  She had to rethink this.  Then she remembered something.  "Toss me the crossbow, Kerkrin.  That has to be easier for me than pushing rocks."

02:32, Today: Rebeccah rolled 6 using 1d6 ((6)).

Kerkrin raises an eyebrow at the lass' request, but he complies.  "Ya don't toss a crossbow, lass.". He hands her the heavy crossbow."May Moradin guide yer aim." he adds as he struggles and fails to loose another boulder.

heavy crossbow, 1 bolt every other round, take one round to cock it. 1d4+1 damage.

The orcs and goblins continue their fierce battle in spite of the newcomers throwing boulders at them.  Each side brings down three of the other.  The remaining archers aim their bows up the slope.  Arrows hit the boulders sheltering the party.  Daniv is able to get up to the old man without any of the combatants spotting him.  He works to free the old man.

_{Are you awake, old fella?}  His whispering voice comes as he begins cutting at the man's bonds; first his hands, then his feet.

Kerkrin continues to struggle with the boulder.

22:41, Today: Kerkrin rolled 3 using 1d6.

Jory has found a suitable boulder and tries to roll it down the hill.

OOC: 09:46, Today: Jory Ranglore rolled 3 using 1d6.  roll boulder.
Strength 18/30

In reply to Jory Ranglore (msg # 54):

Lam tries another boulder but fails yet again, sighing he takes a moment to rest eyeing up the boulder for a weak spot thinking dang this boulder will not be the death of me but of my enemy.

18:50, Today: Lam Durus rolled 5 using 1d6.  boulder roller.

The orc leader brings down a goblin with a mighty swing of his bardiche.

Jory gets another boulder rolling down hill that hits the last archer on this slope, turning him into goblin putty.  Daniv and the old man run back up the hill.

The last two goblins put their spears to bear on the orc leader.  They both manage to get to his flanks and take him down.  The last goblin archer fires again into the boulders.  An arrow shatters on a boulder in front of Kerkrin.

(New actions!)

As he stumbles over the rocky slope, Deniv tries to lead the old man out of the line of fire.

In reply to Daniv Jensen (msg # 57):

After giving yet another heave hoe to a boulder, Lam gives up and hunkers down a moment huffing and puffing.   There are less of them now, maybe that crossbow could work?

17:47, Today: Lam Durus rolled 5 using 1d6.  boulder roller.

"Working on it!" Rebeccah exclaims as she fumbles to get it loaded and ready to fire.  Once it's primed, she leans out from the cover of the boulder and aims in on the goblin archer.

03:11, Today: Rebeccah rolled 6 using 1d20 ((6)).

Jory again tries to roll a boulder down the hill, but he's too cold and tired to achieve anything.


15:21, Today: Jory Ranglore rolled 6 using 1d6.  roll boulder.

As everyone struggles with the boulders, the goblins start to march uphill.  Rebeccah fires the crossbow, but finds it more difficult to use than it looked.  The goblin archer fires up the hill.  He hits Rebeccah in the chest.  The young woman collapses to the ground.


(New actions!)




06:03, Today: Man in Black, on behalf of Kerkrin, rolled 5 using 1d6 ((5)).

Seeing the goblins moving up the hill and Rebeccah being hit by an arrow Tath plants his feet and heaves at the bolder.

08:22, Today: Tath rolled 3 using 1d6.  Open Door Check.
