Re: The Twilight Tomb: The Citadel Of Glass
Mid-Round Update:
The orcs raised their bows and fired, but the shafts clattered uselessly against the glass walls. The orcish archers hadn't even come close to hitting their targets. [Orcs miss!]
The third orc loosed a silvery arrow that streaked across the hall, and hit the far wall with a squeak of metal on glass. The orc cried out in shock and panic, then pointed wildly at where it had fallen. "Get that arrow! It kill dead good!" he cried. [Orc misses and loses his fancy arrow! d100: 7, arrow survives.]
Iodaem saw where it fell, and shoved his bow into Slove's hand. "Here! You shoot, I'll get that thing!" With a wary eye at the rapidly advancing shadows, he dashed across the ballroom between them, drawing Elf-friend to his hand, dispelling the dark gloom with its forest-light. [Iodaem NPCed: gives bow to Slove, moves to H8, draws sword.]
Gurgun's flying foot and fist passed harmless through the shadow-thing. But it had no such problems. One thin claw-like hand of darkness darted out for his neck, and he felt the chill of death tighten around him, sapping his strength and his life. [Shadow attacks Gurgun! Attack 23, rolls 20, threatens crit, 5, no crit (but then, no effect on critical anyway). Strength damage 3.]
The other shadows glided across the room towards their living prey. One slashed at Slove, but he easily ducked it. [Shadow attacks Slove, 9, miss.]
Map Updates:
Gurgun: moved to K12

16 - Gurgun
15 - Orcs
13 - Iodaem
13 - Slove (delayed)
10 - Shadows
9 - Authiel
6 - Jorn
3 - Allessandra
Slove: I'm going to assume that you delayed to act after Iodaem, so you could take the bow. So you may complete your action this round. You take a move action to take the bow from Iodaem, leaving you one standard. Since you still act before the shadows, you can attack them freely in their previous positions.
