Flora fires off a bolt at one the the porkers charging at her, skwering its leg.

Flora, all of the porkers with blunderbusses (marked PP rather than Po) are outside at the moment so I assumed you shoot at someone inside. Also I let you off an attack of opportunity... this time, but check the map, firing missile weapons while adjacent to an enemy triggers one.

Ordus stabs at the porker framed in the doorway with his spear, but the tip is deflected by its iron armour.

Multi-Roach's duplicate appears under the platform, then scuttles up and over, dodging two axe blows from a couple of surprised boss porkers crouched down the in the centre. It swarms up the cable to the copter and along into the rear rotor, sending a cloud off goo to gently drift down the earth. The copter wobble a bit then rights itself.

You had a 1 in 6 to destroy the rotor this time, rises by one each try. The pilot also has to make a DC15 roll to stay stable.

Bedlam charges downstairs, but his clumsy swing misses the the porker that just came in via the south door.

S'kaar's rat bundle heads right for the ack-ack gun, and they maul the porker manning the weapon.

Merlot conjures a duplicate next to the porker Bedlam is engaging, but it emerges into existence very confused and its double claw attack totally fails.

The porker from the east door spill into the room. Ordus stabs the first one, but two more slip past. None of them can avoid the flames surrounding him, and the smell of bacon clogs the air as their hide chars. The other porkers mill around outside as the melee has blocked the entrance.

Three porkers attack Flora and two go for Ordus, swinging with spiked flails. Flora is shredded by all three, and the sap runs green. Ordus is hit once.

19HPs damage Flora, 1HP damage Ordus after damage resistance

The helicopter flies closer to the building and hovers over the roof. Two coils of rope drop down and two boss porkers start to abseil down in front of Multi-Roach.

Assume they are at I14 and J14 and 3 squares up.

The two porkers near the south east corner start to climb the wall, one heads for the window, hanging perilously above the sump pit, while the other climbs straight up, but a handhold crumbles and it falls prone to the ground again.

The plizogs to the south bunch up and rush to the wall... an up it. Evidently their lizard heritage includes gecko feet. They will be over the top next round.

The porkers to the north and south rush into the building. The southern porker runs into Merlot's double and dispatches it quickly with its flail.

Round 3. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach, Bedlam Jones, S'kaar, Merlot, Porkers.

In reply to The Shadow (msg #122):

Once again, the roach sends a duplicate on the bottom of the weapon platform, and it crawls up and tries to destroy the rear rotor of the chopper. Seeing the foes coming down the ropes to deal with him, he quickly scuttles away to cling to the side of a wall out of their reach...


(OOC-Standard action-sending a duplicate up the chain as before. As the porkers are coming down the ropes-they should not be able to attack the duplicate-or I will hold my action to time it so they can't anyways.

Move action-using wall crawling to head down side of the building and heading inside the second floor. Looking for another window to climb back up next round.)

 With a groan at the sense of her limbs taking damage if not pain she fixes the lifeform with her green eyes and swings the heavy weapon at the gathered porkers attacking her.

Move action: none
12:56, Today: Flora rolled 10 using 1d10+3. damage vs porkers.
12:55, Today: Flora rolled 20 using 1d20+6. Brickbat atk vs  3 porkers on me
Close burst 1, any enemy she can see is hit by the attack.

Never one to abandon a team-mate in the heat of combat if they can avoid it, the Collective Rat do their utmost to teach a lesson to the porcine intruder between them and Flora...


(OOC Targeting the poor sod in K17.

20:51, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 18 using 1d20+8. Melee Attack!...which is an 18.

20:51, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 3 using 1d12+2. Damage.  And my luck runs true to form!  I'm hurting 'em more by sheer force of my battle aura...)

Bedlam swings his lamp post in another wide arc at the porker outside his door.

Round 3:
Bedlam Jones rolled 12 using 1d20+7. Brickbat P13. vs AC
Bedlam Jones rolled 12 using 2d8+4. Damage.

Ah well, maybe Merlot's duplicate can make use of a flanking bonus.

Flora swings round her length of rebar in a mighty arc, seriously bloodying the the porkers around her. Ordus' stab is like a bee sting in comparison.

Multi-Roach's duplicate scampers up once more to the rotor. Again the blades holds, but the pilot loses control for a second causing the copter to swerve. One of the bosses abseiling down loses his grip and falls to the roof with a thud. Meanwhile the hard-to-kill roach clings to the building outside a window but out of sight.

Bedlam's brickbat sadly bounces of the porkers armour.

S'kaar flings a rat bundle at the second abseiling porker. The nasty rodents hit, but the pig keeps his grip.

Merlot creates another duplicate which slashing the nearest porker in the eyes, blinding it temporarily.

The plizogs swarm up the building and onto the roof, and the two bosses also converge on S'kaars position. Meanwhile one of the porkers climbing up appears at the window right next to the rat swarm.

The three porkers around Flora all stand up, drawing attacks of opportunity from Flora and Ordus. The rat swarm manages to catch one off guard and stabs it in the head. The porker falls to the ground, skewered!

The two remaining porkers hit the giant with their flails, causing massive damage. Only her redundant organs are keeping her alive! Ordus fares better and manages to avoid his two assailants.

25HPs damage Flora

The porker at the window lashes out at S'kaar, hitting the swarm with its flail.

5HP damage S'kaar

Two porkers and one boss square off against Bedlam. The two minions score a hit, almost downing the vulnerable giant! The blinded porker lashes out futilely against the duplicate Merlot.

20HP damage Bedlam, watch out!

Finally Ordus' fire continues to crisp the the four porkers nearest to him.

Round 4. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach, Bedlam Jones, S'kaar, Merlot, Porkers+Plizogs.

Now that the foes have ignored him, he crawls up slightly and pokes his head over the side of the roof-looking up at his target. "Geeze, how long can this take!?"

He sends another duplicate up the side of the platform, this time it shoves its duplicate shotgun into the rotor blades...


(OOC-Move-up side of wall, so only head is visible from the roof-which all his foes seem distracted anyways.

Standard-send off duplicate as before.

Slight change-this time duplicate roach will shove barrel of shotgun into the rotorblades-which should be slowed with the amount of bug stuff gumming them up already...)

S'kaar lashes out at the porker that struck it, but he is too slow. Instead he steps back from the window cautiously.


--

10:48, Today: S'kaar rolled 12 using 1d20+8. melee on porker.
Shifts work like D&D4e, right?

Howling with collectively murderous intent, save for those component members who have taken up the notion of bloody vengeance on a certain plant-mutant's behalf, Ordo continues to attempt a righteous rebar-spear smackdown on the Porker between they and Flora!

(OOC: same target, of course.  I'd mark him, but this ain't 4e.  Where's my Mordenkrad when I need it?

21:11, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 24 using 1d20+8. Whallop the Pig.  I do believe that'll hit.

21:11, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 7 using 1d12+2. Damage.  Meh.  Better than a total of 3...)
 

Seeing as how they porkers are trying to swarm her she again takes a breath and swings her maul at the line of ugly swines all near her and keeps her back against the wall.

Minor action: second wind.
standard action: brick bat attk vs close burst 1 porkers.
09:04, Today: Flora rolled 9 using 1d20+4. brickbat vs close burst 1

Flora's brickbat clatters noisily on the porkers' armour but does no damage. However, Ordus stabs the porker between them right in the pork chops and it expires in a gush of blood.

Multi Roachs' duplicate sees its shotgun neatly sheared in half by the rotor before it disappears.

You had a three in six chance but I rolled a 1. Unlucky! One more try at it, then the copter will be out of range for a duplicate. But you will have a 5 in 6 chance (fail on 1), feel free to roll it yourself.

Bedlam activates his Invisio armour and disappears from sight, before climbing out of the window and heading for the pile of rubble nearby. He takes in great heaving breaths and feels a little better.

Go invisible, move to S14 and use Second wind.

S'kaar misses the porker and backs down the stairs, unaware of the porkers below him suddenly deprived of Bedlam as a target...

Shift to Q16

Merlot creates another duplicate and slashes another wound on the hapless porker.

The two porkers respond in kind to Merlot's double, hacking it with their axes. One connects, which is enough to dispel the copy. The porker catches sight of the original in the next room and hurries to meet him.

The copter, swaying wildly, flies back away from the roof. The platform is too unstable for the ack-ack guns... for now.

With two of their number inside dead, the porker give a war cry and push more inside. Ordus and Flora kill the first as he rushes by, but soon they are surrounded by fresh pork.

Three porkers attack Flora once again, but this time none of them wound her. Ordus is attacked twice, and one blow stuns a component rat.

2HP damage Ordus.

On the stairs S'kaar is flanked by two boss porkers above and below, who swing at the swarm with their battleaxes, while a third porker flails away. Other plizogs and porker look down on the battle, unable to intervene for now.

Only one axe connects with the swarm.

10HP damage S'kaar.

Round 5. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach, Bedlam Jones, S'kaar, Merlot, Porkers+Plizogs.

Deadline Tuesday!

In reply to The Shadow (msg #132):

OOC-11:39, Today: Multi-Roach rolled 1 using 1d6. Geeze, I think you made a little too hard...

 With a screech she swings her maul once more in a half circle to smash pig flesh and to hear bones breaking as she ends the power swing and comes into a guard position again.

12:42, Today: Flora rolled 8 using 1d10+3. close burst 1,maul atk.
12:39, Today: Flora rolled 15 using 1d20+4. brick bat atk, close burst 1
Any porker hit and damaged is knocked prone.

The ancient tech keeping him invisible, Bedlam looks in through the window. His mind lashes out at a Porker thug, forcing it to attack its boss. Gripping his lamp post, the giant ducks back down as the inviso armor begins to sputter, its energy spent.

Round 4
Bedlam Jones rolled 17 using 1d20+4. Mental Push vs P16.
Attack vs Will.
Target (P16) takes 3 psychic damage and makes a basic attack against Q15.

S'kaar turns and lashes out at the pig who injured him, but he misses. He then steps off the stairs to a spot where a few less porkers can swing at him at a time...

Flora's brickbat knocks four porkers to their knees, spraying blood over the walls. One (J16) topples over and does not get back up.

Ordus stabs at the nearest porker again (L16), but misses.

Multi-Roach watches in disbelief as his duplicate once again fails to destroy the rotor, and the copter barely wobbles in response. That was his last chance!

Bedlam's mind control causes the porker to rake his boss (Q16) with the flail. The two spend the rest of the round screaming at each other, but don't come to blows.

S'kaar slips from the stairs in all the confusion, but his rat smack misses the porker still descending.

Melot summons his mysterious Alpha power, becoming even more blurred than usual. He reaches out and touches the porker in front of him, who promptly disappears.

The copter flies back and up, leaving the platform out of reach of all but the longest range weapons (20). The ack-ack gun cycles up again, looking for targets.

Meanwhile, the porker that Merlot's duplicate blinded a few seconds back rushes in (O10) to take on the original and flails the felinoid cruelly.

8HP damage Merlot.

The porker boss takes S'kaar's position on the stairs and swings down at the rat swarm with his battleaxes, splatting a few unfortunate members.

7HP Damage S'kaar.

Amazingly all of the four porkers left attacking Ordus and Flora misses, their flails getting in each others' way in their excitement.

Finally, Ordus' fiery aura scorches the porker some more.

Round 6. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach, Bedlam Jones, S'kaar, Merlot, Porkers+Plizogs.

Deadline Saturday!

Seeing the one go down she smiles cruely and once more powers her brickbat in a giant sweeping arc determined to take the others down also.

17:00, Today: Flora rolled 6 using 1d20+4. brickbat/closeburst 1

Bedlam attempts to repeat his manipulation, but the porker is ready and the giant's mental promptings go unheeded.

His thoughts shift to the injured (non-flaming) rat horde. ~S'kaar, you might want to drop down through the hole to the basement. Then up the ramp to help Flora and Ordus.~

Round 5
Bedlam Jones rolled 6 using 1d20+4. Mental Push vs P16.

Hmmm... a few rounds of consistent successes would be helpful.

Chittering with frustration, the collective rats continue their only too predictable efforts to skewer their favorite dance partner once and for all!  But then, until their friend goes down, it isn't exactly wise of them to change targets...

(OOC 09:43, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 23 using 1d20+8. Melee Attack!
09:44, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 8 using 1d12+2.)

In reply to The Shadow (msg #137):

The roached crawled to another section of the upper floor-still clinging to the side of the building. Once he spots the mass group if of Porkers, he sends down another duplicate which fires its shotgun into the group of them...

(OOC-Roach moving to F18, peeking around corner and the lower level. Sending down duplicate to  I21 and it will shoot its shotgun

S'kaar swings at the porker in front of him, scoring a vicious blow with his tangle of claws and teeth.

--
00:15, Today: S'kaar rolled 28 using 1d20+8.  Crit
16 Damage

Flora's brickbat misses the porkers, but Ordus kills one (L16) with a spear to the guts.

Multi-Roach's duplicate opens fire at point blank range, his shotgun severely shredding two porkers. They are still standing, but not by much.

Bedlam's mental push fails, while S'kaar takes a chunk out of one of his opponents, nearly flooring him.

Merlot disembowels the wounded porker in front of him.

The porker boss outside spins round, piles into the rubble, and splats Multi-Roach's duplicate with his battleaxe. Inside, three remaining porkers battle on against Flora and Ordus while the rest mill around outside. Flora is hit once, a glancing blow. Then the porkers get burned more by rat-fire.

6HP damage Flora.

Two bosses and an underling battle S'kaar, while plizogs and porker look down from above. One of the bosses scores a nasty blow with his battleaxe, sending rat bits and gore flying. Could this be the end of our rodent friend? Deep within the pile of expiring rats, a piece of advanced technology ticks to life. Lightning flickers around the rats that make up S'kaar and with a flash - THEY LIVE!

S'kaar, you are on 11HP, but are dazed until the end of your next action.

The porker Merlot "disappeared" blinks back into life, its face a mask of blood. Two bosses sprint over to corner the unfortunate feline.

The gunner on the platform cannot find a target as he fails to notice Multi-Roach clinging to the wall.

Round 7. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach, Bedlam Jones, S'kaar, Merlot, Porkers+Plizogs.

Deadline Friday!

Yanking the bloodied rebar from their first victim, the Senate of Rodents takes a good whack at the Porker standing conveniently between them and their plantlike companion Flora...


(OOC
21:10, Today: Ordus F. Rattus rolled 21 using 1d20+8. Melee Attack on K17. +2 Flanking Bonus is a 23, I believe...

Pretty sure that is 3 misses...)

 Feeling the sting of that last atk as the pig men try to overwhelm her, she draws a deep breath of air and agains swings her brickbat at the grunting mass of swine crowding her, They should know that all plants fight to keep their own area clear of other lifeforms.
