Siraref, you approach the western gate.  A score of archers are on the walls trying to keep the horde at bay.  The ghouls were pounding on the gate, shaking the timbers under their blows.  At any moment the wood would break.

Siraref reached into her bag and pulled out a small fuzzball; it turned into a heavy warhorse when she threw it to the ground next to her. Now as ready as she would ever be, she waited for the oncoming undead to reach her, figuring she wouldn't have time to climb the walls and join in the archery.

The ghouls get through the gate.

Did you want to ready an attack?  Also, feel free to roll initiative.

Yeah, I was planning on readying an attack, sorry if that wasn't clear. Is my warhorse on the map? What does BC stand for?

Siraref init: 22
Warhorse init: 14
Siraref readied attack roll: 20
Siraref readied attack damage: 12

Sorry, forgot to put that down.  BC is Boneclaw, it's a undead creature with bony hands that end in claws that are a couple feet long.  The Gs are ghouls.

The archers on the wall are trying to keep the horde at bay but a few are manages to get through the hail of arrows to the shattered gate.

The boneclaw attacks with it's long claws and misses.

Siraref, you and your horse are up.

OOC: turns out that the boneclaw is large, I updated the map.  It also has 20' reach, but he's next to you.

Initiative:
22 Siraref
21 Boneclaw
17 ghouls
12 warhorse

Damage:
boneclaw -7

Siraref and her horse joined in launching full attacks on the boneclaw, starting off what would likely be a long slog of a fight.

The horse won't attack until after the boneclaw, but I figured I'd go ahead and get its rolls in so you could process the whole turn at once.
11:00, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 27 using 1d20+12. Heavy pick attack 1.
11:00, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 13 using 1d6+7. Heavy pick damage 1.
11:00, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 17 using 1d20+7. Heavy pick attack 2.
11:01, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 8 using 1d6+7. Heavy pick damage 2.
11:02, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 17 using 1d20+6. Heavy warhorse hoof attack 1.
11:02, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 5 using 1d6+4. Heavy warhorse hoof damage 1.
11:02, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 24 using 1d20+6. Heavy warhorse hoof attack 2.
11:02, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 10 using 1d6+4. Heavy warhorse hoof damage 2.
11:02, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 21 using 1d20+1. Heavy warhorse bite attack.
11:03, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 5 using 1d4+2. Heavy warhorse bite damage.

Both of Siraref's attacks hit and harm the boneclaw.

The boneclaw's attacks miss Siraref.

The horse hits the boneclaw with some of it's hits, too.

You're up again.

Siraref and her warhorse keep up their close combat with the boneclaw.

I condensed some of the die rolls since it was such a wall of text :)
10:18, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 25,24 using d20+12,d20+7. Heavy pick attacks 1 and 2.
10:19, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 9,8 using d6+7,d6+7. Heavy pick damage 1 and 2.
10:19, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 16,25,15 using d20+6,d20+6,d20+1. Heavy warhorse attacks.
10:20, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 9,7,5 using d6+4,d6+4,d4+2. Heavy warhorse damage.

Both of your attacks hit the boneclaw, but do little damage.  The warhorse does more damage.

The boneclaw stabs at you twice, but only pierces your armor once for 15 damage.

Siraref and her horse keep up the fight, Siraref taking her injury in silence.

19:01, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 31,10 using d20+12,d20+7. Heavy pick attacks.
19:01, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 9,12 using d6+7,d6+7. Heavy pick damage.
19:01, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 16,23,12 using d20+6,d20+6,d20+1. Heavy warhorse attacks.
19:02, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 7,9,6 using d6+4,d6+4,d4+2. Heavy warhorse damage.

The horses hooves seem to be doing more damage to the boneclaw than anything else, it turns its attention on it and pierces it for 26 damage.

Damage:
boneclaw -74

Since the magical horse was still on its feet, it fought on heedless of the danger involved, as did Siraref.

18:48, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 15,17 using d20+12,d20+7. Heavy pick attacks.
18:48, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 13,9 using d6+7,d6+7. Heavy pick damage.
18:49, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 24,7,4 using d20+6,d20+6,d20+1. Heavy warhorse attacks.
18:50, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 7 using 1d6+4. Heavy horse damage. (Pretty sure just the one hoof connected.)

The boneclaw attacks and misses twice.

Boneclaw -85

Siraref continues to hold the line...

13:12, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 17,10 using d20+12,d20+7. Heavy pick attacks.
13:12, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 11,12 using d6+7,d6+7. Heavy pick damage.
13:12, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 15,16,2 using d20+6,d20+6,d20+1. Heavy warhorse attacks.
13:12, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 6,10,4 using d6+4,d6+4,d4+2. Heavy warhorse damage.

The boneclaw stabs at Siraref and the horse again, missing Siraref but killing the horse.

Siraref wasn't willing to fall back and summon a new animal while she was engaged with the boneclaw, so she kept up the fight, hoping she could finish it off quickly.

12:20, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 17,27 using d20+12,d20+7. Heavy pick attacks.
12:21, Today: Siraref Owlwings rolled 10,10 using d6+7,d6+7. Heavy pick damage.

The boneclaw finally falls and the ghouls began to pour through, however they miss Siraref.

17 ghouls
12 warhorse

Damage:

Zaron, you arrive this round and can act next round, but feel free to roll imitative.

Siraref took a step back to avoid the ghouls' attacks as she drew out a new puffball, summoning a tiger to her side to help stem the flow of oncoming ghouls.

Bag of Tricks roll: 88 (Tiger)
Tiger init: 16

OOC: Thank you. I will be in space N;7 if possible.

My initiative is 23
16:58, Today: Zaron the Dark rolled 23 using 1d20+3. Initiative.

The undead continue to gather at the gate.  The first step step closer, one attacks Siraref and the other the tiger, but both miss.

You're both up.

Initiative:
23 Zaron
22 Siraref
21 Boneclaw
17 ghouls
16 tiger

Damage:
G17-G20 -4

Looking ahead at the wave of undead, noticing a human and beast defending the gate, Zaron couldn't help but feel anger. The sight burned his blood, hate and resentment overflowing.

'How is it that a mere human and animal can hold off a wave where Nevernee could not hold them off for five minutes?' he thought to himself, taking a few steps forward and raising his hand, palm forward.

"Fine. I was taught to go with the stronger side. Self Preservation before loyalty," he said in more of a growl than anything. His open hand turned into a pointing finger from which a small dot of light shot out. The ensuing destruction would be a sight to see.

You doing anything this round Siraref?

I was waiting to see if I got blown up in the explosion or what. If all the ghouls ahead of me are cleared, I'll stand my ground with the tiger and wait.
