Once more Bedlam focuses his thoughts on overriding the Porker's control of his body. His target, however, is concentrating fully elsewhere, and the giant's efforts prove fruitless.

Round 6
Bedlam Jones rolled 9 using 1d20+4. Mental Push vs P16.

rrrr...

Flora smashes the three porkers around her like ninepins, killing two outside and leaving the other prone and spitting blood. Ordus' stab with the spear does not improve his situation.

Multi-Roach's duplicate fires high, missing all three porkers, and Bedlam's mental mojo fizzles out again.

S'karr just stands there, dazed, and tries to put the tunnel of light out of his mind.

Merlot, surrounded, takes a deep breath, gather his resources, then beheads the wounded porker next to him. But two bosses remain....

Second Wind +13 HPs.

The two porker bosses flanking Merlot do a nifty sweeping move with their battleaxes and cut the unfortunate feline into three pieces. They high five each other and prepare to loot the corpse.

The three on S'kaar are obviously discomforted by his recent resurrection, as only one manages to score a glancing blow despite his stunned state.

3HP damage S'kaar.

Multi-Roaches duplicate is taken apart by ack-ack fire from the helicopter platform.

The porker at the door struggles to his feet but is killed by Flora's backhander. The remaining porkers outside, including the porker boss, pile through the door. Two of them are already badly wounded by shotgun pellets. Two attack Flora, and a porker and boss attack Ordus, but only the boss can connect with his battleaxe.

7HP damage Ordus.

One more porker burns up in Ordus' fiery aura. Only three left out of the mob that tried to storm the front!

Round 8. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach, Bedlam Jones, S'kaar, Porkers+Plizogs.

Deadline Tuesday! I think this marks the turning point of the battle, good luck!

~Focus, people!~ Bedlam's thoughts reach out to the team. ~Let's finish these porkers off.~

The giant then attempts to apply his own advice, training his thoughts on one of the Porker Bosses...

Round 7
Bedlam Jones rolled 15 using 1d20+4. Mental Push vs Q16.
Attack vs Will.
If successful, target (Q16) takes 3 psychic damage and makes a basic attack against P16.

Another duplicate appears outside-firing at the Porker boss, only for the shot to go wide once more.

(OOC-Duplicate at K19.

Shooting-pointlessly...

23:49, Today: Multi-Roach rolled 12 using 1d20+6. vs AC)

 Thinking she has a second to take a deep breath the other porkers pile into the slippery remains of the dead porkers already smashed up.

 She draws back her heavy weapon and again arc's around at the two squealing pigs in front of her.

20:54, Today: Flora rolled 8 using 1d20+7. brickbat atk close burst 1

S'kaar swings at the porker who hit him, but his foe moves too fast. He takes the opportunity presented by his foe's dodging to slip along the wall, a little further from the stairs.

--


16:52, Today: S'kaar rolled 13 using 1d20+8. attack porker.
Shift to o17

A wave of freak possibility washes over the battleground as attack after attack fails to connect. The only combatant to land a blow is one of the porker bosses attacking S'kaar. Unfortunately for the enemy, the blow was the result of Bedlam's mental compulsion, and the boss beheads the wounded porker next to him.

The gunner on the helicopter platform also scores a hit, but only on the duplicate outside.

As S'kaar retreats, the bosses follow, leaving the stairs free for the forces on the roof. The plizogs rush down and catch sight of Bedlam outside. One jumps through the window and tries to bite the giant - missing of course - while the others pile back outside to flank him.

The two porkers on the roof move down the stairs to box in S'kaar, while the two bosses that dispatch Merlot paw over his corpse.

Check the dice roller - the worst run of rolls I've seen in 10 years on the site!

Round 9. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach, Bedlam Jones, S'kaar, Porkers+Plizogs.

Deadline Sunday!

 Seeing more of the sausage meat porkers attempt once more to press their attacks on her.

 Spinning the heavy maul she swings in a wide arc to take the new ones and to land a blow against the bigger mob to her southside.

17:58, Today: Flora rolled 19 using 2d8+6. damage.
17:58, Today: Flora rolled 18 using 1d20+7. Brickbat atk vs porkers, burst 1
 Burst 1 atk against every porker close to her 180 frontage. Targets knocked prone if the take damage.

S'kaar moves into the corner beside him and swings at the porker that stands astride the hole in the floor.

"Bad... dog?" Bedlam realizes the trouble he is in as the plizogs swarm out of the building around him.

~Might need some help over here if any of you have room on your dance card.~ the giant sends his thoughts out to the team as he prepares to meet the plizog onslaught.

Gripping his lamppost he swings in a wide arc. Unfortunately the close confines of the walls and rubble reduce the effectiveness of his attack. The plizogs do hesitate, however, and he steps out into the walled path leading to the compound.

Continuing their high-pitched and defiant chittering, the Rats shift position a little, hoping to flank a porker against Flora...and jabbing again and again with the rebar, seeking to punish the interlopers!

Flora, Ordus and duplicate Multi-Roach, club, stab, shoot and burn the porkers in the front lobby. All three die, the boss last, as, struggling to his trotters, he is brained by Flora. The trio are surrounded by almost a dozen corpses, many of the cooked to perfection by Ordus.

Multi-Roach, your move would have put you clear in the ack-ack sights! Safer to stay where you are. I'm assuming you don't want to move there after all, but if you do PM me.

S'kaar backs into a corner and is surrounded by three beefy plizogs. Amazingly, only the boss connects and the rat swarm still stands for now.

5HP Damage S'kaar. BTW the hole is in the ceiling, not the floor. Sorry for not making that clear

Two plizogs advance after Bedlam, jaws snapping. The unfortunate giant takes two huge wounds in the leg and collapses to the ground, gushing blood.

Bedlam you are dying. Roll 10 or better each round you're fine. If you roll a 20 you stabilise. Otherwise without some first aid, after 3 fails you die!

The unengaged porkers rush to the sounds of battle for the front, calling two plizogs after them, who race ahead and dismember the duplicate Multi-Roach. The bosses round the corner and pull up sharp when the see the carnage in front of them, with Flora and Ordus still standing. As one, they each pull out a massive blunderbuss and take aim...

BTW have added the dead porkers to the map as a *, will cost  1 extra move to enter and leave squares.

Round 10. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach,  S'kaar, Porkers+Plizogs.

Bedlam's thoughts filter painfully out through a red haze. ~Gah!~

~Sorry, I will maintain contact as long as I can.~


Bedlam Jones rolled 18 using 1d20. Roll to not die.

Not dead yet!

In reply to The Shadow (msg #159):

From his position on the ramp, another duplicate appears between his two friends-and its shotgun proceeds to blast 2 of the three porker bosses directly in front of them...

Hunkering down and going defensive, unless I think of something else in the meantime.

S'kaar swings again at the porker standing under the hole, but he misses.

Bedlam's thoughts come to the team with noticeably less strength than usual.

~Flora, Ordus, advance, press the attack. You have the advantage.~

Both Flora and Ordus get the strong urge to advance through the piled porker bodies to attack the porker bosses. They wonder at how persuasive the giant would be if he was actually looking them in the eyes.

~Roach, can you get your dupe to help S'kaar? Use the hole in the ceiling.~

Multi-Roach crawls in through the window and clings to the ceiling above the battle. His duplicate peppers two of the porker bosses with shotgun pellets.

S'kaar is taken down by the three porkers, his constituent rats dead or dying. Immediately the porkers paw over the dying swarm.

S'kaar, you are on -7HPs and dying. Roll 10 or better each round you're fine. If you roll a 20 you stabilise. Otherwise without some first aid, after 3 fails you die! In addition, the porkers pawing over your dying form count as one fail already, so you have two left.

Two of the porkers bosses drop their blunderbusses, take out their axes and chop Flora like a wayward tree causing sap to splatter everywhere.

30HP damage Flora.

The third fires at Ordus, peppering his ratty forms with pellets. The duplicate Multi-Roach is totally shredded.

15HP damage Ordus.

The two plizogs inside run straight up the walls on their gecko feet and onto the ceiling, flanking Multi-Roach. They both get in a bite on his chitinous hide. The plizogs from outside ignore the dying Beldam, run inside, and move down the ramp to flank Flora

10HP damage Multi-Roach.

 Staggered by their blow she lashes out with her vines at the close ones seeking the gouge and tangle their limbs with her attack, she was slightly disappointed with her attack.

The battle continues. Multi-Roach moves onto the wall to prevent getting flanked, but as he creates his duplicate the plizog above him takes the opportunity to snap at a feeler. His duplicate's shotgun again take a toll on the porkers.

6HP damage Multi-Roach, and your omega tech activates (no burnout). Also, your duplicate couldn't reach the porkers around Sk'aar so I assumed you change your target to the three porkers on Flora and Ordus

Ordus advances and stabs, bathing two bosses in his eternal flame.

The porkers looting S'kaar remains are too tempted by the aroma of fresh rat. They move from looting to eating.

Flora dodges the axes of the porker bosses, but the two plizogs worrying her from the side take two large bites from her leg. Flora is almost compost!

14HP Damage Flora.

The porker boss on Ordus also misses. A plizog almost bites Multi-Roach, but his armour pulls him out of the way with a servo-assisted whine.

Round 11. Combat map updated. Init Order: Flora, Ordus Rattus, Multi-Roach, Bedlam Jones, Porkers+Plizogs.
