Following "temple hill"

You step through the gate and find the statue of Janus pointing at you.

Goran examines the mechanism closely to make sure he knows exactly how it is set.  Should the opportunity arise, he does want to go back and visit again, even if it didn't seem like there was a romantic opportunity.  The ladies were nice, and it was fairly restful there, outside of the occasional demonic invasion.  Even though he's lost in thought, Goran asks "What next, fall or winter?"

Was Fall this time, no?

"If that was Fall I do not want to see Spring," Stenet says with an absolute deadpan.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 4):

"That was fall. Next, let us visit Winter. Seems logical enough..."

He waits until all are through, before adjusting the statue to the next gate.

Not have warm clothes ...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 5):

"Ok then, let's try the spring gate then."

He continues moving the statute to the next gate...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 7):

Rotating the gate two archways away fromFall, a wavering light begins to form between the pillars.

The members of the watch eye you strangely.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 8):

The watch is here? Not entirely trusting of them...I though they were members of the temple patrols who we could trust...

Hograth will tell them not to touch it. He will get ready to to pass through the gate.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 9):

Melchizadek will head through the new gate...

Goran will give the watch a pointed look, and then steps through the gate.

Urrun is still much less than comfortable with these gate things, but forces himself to step through, especially as the Watch were not anyone he wanted to be near.

OOC:  Narrator, as far as I know, Stenet, Hograth, and Goran gathered up bunches of feathers.  Hograth actually gathered ones valuable for spells.

After trading with the witches, how many were we left with?  If Stenet still has a pack full of palm frond sized feather, he'll want to stash them here so his pack is empty for more treasures from Spring...  if it's empty, then no worries, he's right behind everyone, ready to go.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 13):

The most valuable feathers were traded for more than their list value, but you have amongst the others, about 10lbs, of which you can get about $1000 for.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 14):

I assume Stenet is carrying them?

OOC:  Only 10 pounds?  Stenet's fine carrying that on his pack, let's roll (it's a frame pack, he's goot weight to spare).

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 16):

Passing through the gate then?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 17):

Hograth is passing through...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 18):

The sky is bright and blue, the earth covered with green and flowers.  In the distance you can hear pixie voices singing and the calls of many songbirds.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 19):

"Good sign."

He checks his crossbow is cocked and proceeds to higher ground, if any, to look around.

Stenet is extra wary.

Goran is careful as he steps through the portal.  He wants to be sure of his footing after their experience in the previous location.  Plus, it was important to look for signs of evil spirits or religion.  While he doesn't exactly hang to the back, Goran does move slowly for the first couple moments, while he gets comfortable with the location.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 22):

lets have some PER rolls

OOC:  11:16, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 11 using 3d6.  Perception 12.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 24):

Melchizadek is still thinking about the ladies and is now looking towards the fairies...

[Private to GM: Rolled Per...]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 25):

Hograth is sharply aware of his surroundings and suffers from no such distractions.

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under per.]

Urrun just looks around , his mind still confused by these gate things ... he sniffs.


[Private to GM:  2:37, Today: Urrun rolled 15 using 3d6.  Perception.  Just made his smell, but failed sight, tough and hearing.]

Gorn finds his mind wandering back to the mature witch in the Fall, so he isn't paying great attention to his surroundings.  The smell reminds him of their garden, and that elicits memories, still fresh for him.

[Private to GM: 16:54, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 13 using 2d6+5.  Goran PER 14.]

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 28):

Urrun detects the faintest undercurrent of corruption among the scents of flowers and damp earth, along with a faint bit of pelichor, suggesting that there was an early morning rain.


Ooc: is Goran pondering Karen, the mature witch, or Carol, the one closer to his age?

OOC Their ages were not clear to me.  I thought he was closer in age to Karen as compared to Carol, but a real person in that situation would make a better judgement than I can at this distance.  Sometimes age doesn't matter as much when people get into that time of life either.

He's looking to settle down, so how about whichever one seems like the best match, assuming they showed interest in him back.  At his age, Goran's looking for companionship so he isn't alone.  He has no home as his village was overrun.  Someone to live life with would be nice too, but it's unrealistic to make that decision after only a few minutes of fighting the demonic Big Bird.

Smell bad stuff. little amount.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 30):

Ooc: jst how old is Goran? The witches seem to be 20/40/60

In reply to Narrator (msg # 32):

Since I did not create Mel, I have no idea, but I am going with about late twenties for him. Say 27? Sound about right?

Can Melchizadek detect the taint?

[Private to GM: Critical success! Per roll of 4!]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 33):

Hograth became uneasy at the announcement. He was careful in looking around, crossbow with silver bolt ready.

[Private to GM: Rolled 4 under perception]

Goran concentrates, and causes flames to appear on his morning star.

OOC I have him at 50 years old.  Not fully transcribed from the PDF yet.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 35):

Technically, spotting the taint is a 15 pt advantage; Urrun is using his sense of smell... you can perceive something Mel,
A number of child sized footprints and signs of something being dragged in a line,as if small children were carrying heavy blades and letting them scrape the ground. There are at least 6 different ones

OOC:  12:21, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 6 using 3d6.  Hidden Lore (Demons) 12.  To recognize which demons made the tracks.

Goran drops to one knee and also examines the tracks, to see if he can determine what might have created them.

[Private to GM: Pick whichever one might be the most appropriate, or neither of them...
10:46, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 13 using 3d6.  Goran Hidden Lore (Spirit) OR Occultism 13.]

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 38):

Goran isn't sure, but Stennet is dead certsin that the tracks and giggles are from Doom children  dragging their oversized knives.

"Doom children.  Savage imps the size of toddlers, armed with cleavers, they explode when they die.  Watchdogs and suicidal soldiers of the infernal army.  Easy to summon, easy, but dangerous, to dispatch."

Goran scowls, pulling at the scar on his face.  He wasn't looking forward to this, although the cleansing of evil was a worthy cause.

Urrun gets his sling out and loaded...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 42):

There is a faint giggle not too far off...

Urrun points there

Goran steps to the front with his flaming flail, ready to defend the group against attack.
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:33, Fri 23 Oct 2020.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 45):

A disturbingly proportioned small figure with a cleaver toddles out of the nearby bushes, an expression of sick glee on its pustulent face.

Stenet moves to put himself behind (a few paces away) the others who'd turned to face the imp, watching their backs for any flanking Doom Children.

"Knock them away when you hit them, lest they explode in our midst!"

Goran steps up to the creepy and sadistic looking imp, and takes a swing with his flail.  However, his plant foot slips, and he narrowly misses the creature.

[Private to GM: Just missed the attack and defense...by 1.
14:28, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 14 using 3d6.  Goran shield block 13 if attacked.

Urrun launches his stone at the miserable creature ...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 49):

The hit succeeds..  roll for damage!

In reply to offspring (msg # 50):

Sorry, Brain Dead...

14:29, Today: Urrun rolled 12 using 2d6+3.  Sling bullet damage.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 51):

The creature explodes in a ball of flame! Goran takes 7 pts burning before DR

Not get close with them

Goran grunts and steps back quickly, shifting his mace to his left (and letting the shield hang from it's arm strap) so he can wipe the embers from his singed beard.

[Private to GM: Should be 3 HP, he has on mail.]

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 54):

There is rustling in the bushes around the charred circle where it was.

He loads another bullet and looks for a target

Goran begins to pray, imploring Hors to assist him in the moment.

[Private to GM: Would Turn Spirit have any affect on these things?  I believe it would not, but rolled to be sure.  Would Holy Water affect them?
11:44, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 9 using 3d6.  Goran Hidden Lore (Spirit) OR Occultism 13.

I figure Goran will probably go for Shield and try to keep the grenade children busy while others pick them off.
11:50, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 10 using 3d6.  Goran Shield 15 (2 points DB).

He's overconfident, but careful...if that even works.  And he's feeling a bit stubborn, and doesn't want to listen to Urrun's good suggestion.]

Stenet takes another step away from his compatriots, to give them room to back up if necessary, and keeps scanning for surprises from the flanks and rear.



OOC:  Step and Wait, he's prepared for charges from behind the group, to intercede with a Committed Attack (D) against the the chargers.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 57):

There is a chuckle ..  that places the next one 4 yards out

[Private to Goran the Marked: make a roll for divine inspiration-iq-5 plus power investiture]

There is an earsplitting explosion as the shrubs erupt in flames.

OOC  Communication with the Narrator.

[Private to GM: I had intended his prayer to be for the Shield spell, but was not totally settled on what to do when I wrote the post.  If my writing confused you then count that as my error.  If you asked for the Divind Intervention roll for a different reason, then Goran made it exactly.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 62):

Hogarth is more concerned about something bigger, so he waits, crossbow cocked, to lók for what might have led them here. He puts a silver bolt in the crossbow...

he reloads his sling

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 62):

Goran's divine shield springs into being, and he also realizes that holy water would be effective against thermse things.

With Hors to protect him, Goran steps to where the creatures are coming from, prepared to meet them should more appear.  He is sure to maintain a facing which will allow Urrun and others to assist him from afar.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 66):

Per rolls folks to determine where the little terrors are.

The ground is damp, the grasses, wild onions, garlic scapes and daffodils  are in motion...

With all the movement, the wind, the smells, and everything else, Goran is worried more about placing himself perfectly.  He's unfortunately too anxious and unsettled to relax, so he's effectively blind to what's happening around him.

[Private to GM: There is evil to be defeated, and he's too busy worrying about it to see it.

He misses his perception roll by 1.
14:24, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 15 using 3d6.  Goran PER 14.]

Stenet keeps scanning their flanks, prepared to counter charge the little imps if the group is rushed from behind.




OOC: 16:48, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 12 using 3d6.  Per 12, where are the Doom Children.

Urrun scans, listens  and smells the air ...



[Private to GM:  15:13, Today: Urrun rolled 10 using 3d6.  Perception. Skill 12; Hearing 13, smell 15 ]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 70):

You know where a few of them are, it will be -4 to hit them near blind.

He'll point out directions and give some idea of how many in each direction if he can, but he waits for targets before wasting a shot.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 72):

Two of them break from cover together, giggling and raising their cleavers!

https://drive.google.com/file/...4r/view?usp=drivesdk

Goran immediately steps to the closest one, and swings at it with his flail.

[Private to GM: Should hit easily, made the roll by 9.  Return attacks will be a shield block, and he will also seek to block any explosions with his shield as well.

11:47, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 12 using 3d6.  Goran Shield Block 13 (plus 2DB from shield spell).
11:46, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 6 using 3d6.  Goran flail 15.]

He growls as Goran again moves close, blocking his throw this time.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 74):

Goran hits, and will block some of the blow back... how much damage does he do?

Goran hits the creature solidly with his morningstar.

[Private to GM: 10 points, slightly above average.  :)
11:36, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 10 using 2d6+2.  Goran 2d+2 flail damage.]

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 77):

The little minster explodes. Your shield blocks the bone shrapnel, but the area attack of its explosion does 7 points before DR. The blast sets off a second one, which erupts further, doing 6 points before DR.

Goran's hair and face are singed by the explosions in front of him, and some of his hairs glow as they turn in to embers briefly.  The force of the blast causes Goran to step backwards, although he keeps his balance and his guard up.

Quietly, he begins to pray to Hors again, as the explosions he thought he could handle easily hurt.

OOC  Goran was being a bit stubborn there, and (may or may not have) learned his lesson.

[Private to GM: As Goran is down 8HP he will cast Major Healing.
17:33, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 9 using 3d6.  Major Heal 15, 4 Fatigue, 8 healing on Goran.

ADD - Goran should be at 9/12 fatigue 4/12 HT now, and he will be at 5/12 fatigue 12/12 HT after the spell.]

He looks around for any others...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 80):

"So, Goran, do you enjoy that, or should we wait for missile weapons to hit them where the explosion will not hurt us next time?"

He maintains his crossbow ready, switching out the silver bolt for a regular one now...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 81):

Melchizadek is a bit slow in realsing the problem here, and finally creates a sunbolt in case more appear...

[Private to GM: Rolled 6 under skill to cast sunbolt.]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 82):

As the flames of the successive explosions continue to lightly char the dew dripping flowers, a young woman with green hair and bark clothing steps out from behind a tree.
"What are you doing to my flowers?"

Goran responds exactly like a stubborn old man would.  "I can handle them, just slipped and got off balance there."  Then he takes up position towards the front again, although he is more careful to stay out of their line of fire this time.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 84):

"I am sorry, young lady, but there are small demons running around trying to despoil not only your flowers, but everything else as well. When we kill them, they explode, but if we do not kill them, the go around cutting things, probably including flowers. We mean no harm to anything that belong in this lovely realm, but the evil invaders must be stopped before they contaminate your world. Do you not agree?"

[Private to GM: He has Charisma 1 and is attractive, should he use a public speaking roll? Rolled 5 under...]

Goran gruffly greets the lady "Hello, ma'am.  Please step behind me in case the angry demon children decide you're an easy target."

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 86):

"Oh my! SHE must be informed!"

In reply to Dryad (msg # 87):

"Indeed, Ma'am. Should one of us go with you to see that she is informed?"

He steps forward, ready to volunteer...

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 88):

"Maybe we should all go together...it is safer that way."

Yes, all see Alpha Bitch

"Please guide us ma'am" Goran states, "but I will stay in front of you, if you please.  I would care to appoint myself your protector, if you would have me."

Stenet mutters grimly and takes rearguard.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 92):

"Ginko, Where are you, SHE needs to be advised we are coming!

A tough looking pixie, if there is a such thing, descends from the upper foliage of the nearby tree. He floats next to the dryad with arms crossed like a disapproving nanny and wears an unimpressed glower on his face.

"I am here. Although I don't see any sense in alerting anyone to the passage of these. Just follow the explosions and scent of charred greenery." He frowns not at all happy about the damage to the surroundings.

"Still, at least their intentions seem well placed if not their sense for proper engagement."
This message was last edited by the player at 00:49, Thu 19 Nov 2020.

Goran steps into a bit of a formal greeting at the approach of the pixie.  "Greetings, Fae.  I am Goran."

"I am Ginko. Greetings... are you okay? You look a little singed."

Ginko strokes an imaginary beard on his face to indicate the source of his concern.

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 96):

"I think the good lady was referring to informing someone in charge here about the presence of corrupting demons...not us."

Gingko shakes his head. "I disagree. It is not up to me to decide if your arrival at the same time as these demons is a coincidence or not. Word of your arrival is at least equal in importance as that of the others. If you have any light to shed on the matter SHE should hear it from your lips."

Goran responds by saying "Please lead us to the lady, then, and we will explain our presence.  We came to help cleanse your realm of demons, but if our presence here somehow causes a problem I for one am willing to leave.  We have no interest in damaging the realm or anyone in it.  Just the demons."

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 98):

"I will look after the flowers here. The other puxies will lead the way, and Ginko will see that you are delivered to HER."

She waves toward the trees and a pair of pixies fly toward you.

In reply to Dryad (msg # 100):

"Sure. Lets go. Time is wasting, and demons are corrupting..."

Ginko allows the other pixies to lead the way. He flies at the back of the group like a shepherd driving the sheep. He keeps a high vantage at around 12 feet so he has a clear view for some distance ahead as well as over all of the strangers.

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 102):

"The lady awaits!" cry the puxies as they lead the way.

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 102):

Melchizadek follows the pixies with pleasure, keeping an eye out for doombrats with his held spell still illuminating his hand (Sunbolt).

Goran pointedly looks at the lady they are leaving behind, to make sure she is safe, and then leaves with the rest.  He does grumble a bit to himself.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 105):

"Wait, are you not coming with us? Your safety is important too!" Melchizadek gushes at the Dryad.

He just stays alert and keeps looking around over the heads of his compatriots.

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 106):

"I cannot leave my tree"


You continue onward through fields of golden daffodils, purple crocuses and red tulips, the pixies flying ahead, and over a tree lined rise.

In reply to Dryad (msg # 108):

Hograth follows carefully, looking for something that does not belong.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 109):

Once over the rise, you can see a variety of faerie folk dressed in flower garlands surrounding a throne between two trees, where a pale youthful woman of awe inspring beauty sits surrounded by si ging birds. The trees in this vale are in bloom.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 110):

Noting the lack of corruption, Hograth approaches.

"Milady, you are ruler here, I presume?"

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 111):

"Melchizadek follows and smiles sweetly...

He hangs back looking for a convenient tree to water...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 111):

The woman, who is trancendantly beautiful and awe inspiring frowns slightly at Hograth.

"I am indeed the Lady of this place and time.
Why has my husband sent you to spy upon me?
 Our ancient agreement grants me this time in this place without interference.

In reply to Persephone (msg # 114):

"I know nothing of your husband, nor do I want to. I am a demon hunter, and demons were tracked to this world. It is our task to remove them, and then we will depart."

Stenet just remains silent, but his glower deepens.




OOC:  15:00, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 11 using 3d6.  Theology 11.

Urrun wanders over to a tree behind the group and (hopefully) out of sight of the queen. Nature is not taking "wait a bit" as an answer...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 120):

The woman on the throne stares at Hograth, waiting for his own words to sink in.

Hograth goes suddenly pale, as he realizes (as does Stenet) just who the lady is...
You are in the presence of Persephone, goddess of Spring, and wife to Hades!

In reply to Persephone (msg # 121):

The revelation confuses him somewhat, as he then wonders the question that has been asked but left unanswered.

"Forgive me for not recognizing you, Mi'Lady. Why then do demons hunt your lands? We serve you as much as your husband in getting rid of them..."

Stenet makes a choking sound and stomps out in front of Hograth, "Lady of Spring, we're here to remove a demon infestation from these lands.  If you'll pardon His boorish servant," he indicates Hograth with a thumb, "we do understand that disagreement with demons and the Lord of the Underworld are not mutually exclusive subjects.  Allow us reign to root out the demons, and we'll be gone."

He stands as tall as he can (four foot four inches) and uses as diplomatic a voice as he can muster, but really... isn't very diplomatic at all.





OOC:  20:23, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 10 using 3d6.  Diplomacy 6.  Trying to diplomance the Fairy Queen of Spring, the Goddess Persephone.

The dice could have loved me...

The goddess frowns.

"Demons have no place here, they need be in Tartarus as allowed, or in the depths of the pit.
Likewise, the minions of my husband have no place here. There are many doors to this place, perhaps it was time they were duly warded.
Through which gate came you?"

Stenet points back in the direction they came from.  "It's near where this guy was assigned to guide us, amidst a field of sunflowers."  Stenet cocks his thumb at Ginko.

"You have, at the least, Doom Children in your garden.  But those creatures usually herald a much larger, more vicious* and cunning demon."



Editted:  * viscous to vicious.  Spellchecker got me the first time through.

He sighs softly with relief, as the pressure is released against a gnarled old tree.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 126):

"The gate we came through was from Temple Hill on Northport. If it is your will, is there a way to close the gate permanently? If you do not wish our assistance in ridding this dimension of demons, closing the gate would suffice for our purposes."

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 127):

"The Janus Gate? That is easily disabled if the tympsnum is removed from the pillars, but I would supplicate Janus before defiling his temple. If you can rid this place without burning any more of my neadows I  give you a day to do so."

In reply to Persephone (msg # 128):

"We will do our best to only kill the demons, Milady, though we cannot guarantee their actions will be non-destructive."

Bad babies go boom when hit

After standing in awe of the lady for some time, Goran recovers his decorum, and quietly nods.  He had nothing more to offer the people in this conversation, especially since Hors was not in the theological discussion.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 130):

"What the bouda says is true, the smaller demons explode when struck. The servant of Midwinter was caught in several explosions"

In reply to Pixie (msg # 132):

"Oh, those blasted abominations!If they are about, dispose og them. Disarming and droening them works best. Do as thou wilt, and harm none of mine. The place is my retreat, and I will not tolerate such things.

Ginko, go with them and see to their conduct."

"As you wish." Replies Ginko with a bow.

He returns to his lofty position overhead and waits for the others to take their leave.

Goran bows deeply, and silently, and then moves off a respectful distance to allow the others to make their farewells.

He just moves off too, as he doesn't get what the fuss is...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 136):

Hograth acknowledges the command and head off to rid this land of demons.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 150):

Something largish was here, and there are a pair of hoofprintsset deeply, as if something jumped or landed, and then walked off. The grass is dead where the prints are.

He points them out to the others Makes grass dead!

"It seems tracking them won't be difficult at least."

Ginko flutters upwards to get a good vantage of the tracks. From up high he could see further and get some sense for how far the tracks go or if he can even see the traveler in the distance.

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 153):

"That is no doombrat..."

He loads a silver bolt into his crossbow and readies the weapon...

Everyone feels a strong sense of being judged, all make a roll vs mental stunning, melchizadek at -3

"Demon of old, dragging something..." he trails off as the weird feeling passes over him, "Be wary, it's here!"

He stops inspecting the tracks and instead scans their surroundings.

Urrun seems confused...


[Private to GM:  13:19, Today: Urrun rolled 8 using 3d6.  For mental Stun. IQ 9; will = 10 ]

Goran was used to being judged by people.  For many, it was the scar on his face.  Then, there were those who looked at his age, and decided he was unfit or unwell.  Others (from the religious community) looked down on him because Hors was not among the common or popular religions in Northport.

Being judged was nothing new for Goran.  He had spent his life disputing evil religions, which often put him at odds with cultists and evil worshippers.  He was ready for it, and in a twisted sort of way he even welcomed it.  The feeling of judgement meant he was doing his job right, and that gave him a sense of purpose.

With vigorous words, Goran starts praying, fervently.
'Hors, please hear me.  I worship you and the truth you bring to your servant.  We are about to face evil, and I beg your favor such that I can stand my ground and protect the innocents in this realm...'
[Private to GM:

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 162):

Ooc, this is not a demonic thing, Helios responded in disdain when Melchizadek critically failed on praying to cast Sunbolt.

OOC  Edited to remove the demonic reference.  Not sure he will know exactly where the judgement is coming from, will he?  Or does he recognize the source?

OOC:  That's fine, I'm okay with Stenet being confused by the source of the Judgement.  After all, as far as he's concerned the Gods shouldn't be directly interfering anyway, so he's probably not used to being directly divined by the divine...

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 165):

"Sorry, I seem to have upset Helios...let me ask him why..."

Melchizadek will go quiet as he prays...

[Private to GM: Praying to Helios for how to rectify this.]

"Oh... ahhh... sorry about mistaking Helios for a demon..." Stenet sounds mildly embarrassed, but then gruffs back up immediately, "Ahem!  But these tracks are from a demon of old.  And like I said, it's dragging something.  Be wary anyway.  They can be tricky, but like the last one Hograth dispatched with a bolt through the heart, good job, that's how they need to be killed, they tend to be very straight forward.  Stomp up and start laying in.  That last one was a bit talky for them though, so no telling what this one will be like."

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 167):

The tracks in the mud vanish, as if something had leapt away.the nearby beech tree looks to be suffering from blight.

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 169):

Hograth is busy looking around, crossbow ready. He looks over and up at the beech tree, to see if it is in the tree.

[Private to GM: Roleld 7, 5 under perception, looking for demon.]

Goran also minds the perimeter while Mel seems lost in the moment.

Ginko keeps a watchful eye from the rear of the pack. He lets the big people do the heavy lifting and waits in his lofty position overhead.

Urrun is still a bit confused as to what is going on...

"Fell thing took to the trees.  Hopefully it had to linger in each one, or this could be damnable to track.  Urrun, do you have the demon's scent?""

Ginko make a per roll! And a dodge!

Not expecting to be an ambush target being at the rear (assumingly furthest from the tree) and being at a generally safe altitude he makes his best attempt to dodge something.

Urrun is concentrating on the tree and missies everything until Gingko cries out...

Already looking around at other trees figuring the demon leapt, Stenet catches a glimpse of movement...

Seeing where Goran is running, urrun finally figures things out... sort of.

He pulls his sword and starts after Goran, who will need help, being a human.

Same as last time, when everyone (except Hograth) hies off in one direction, Stenet turns to make sure nothing is coming up on their rear.

Goran advances until he is almost to the creature, then slows to approach it more cautiously.  He circles to the side, so the Bouda can try to flank it.

[Private to GM: He missed the shield block, but I'm not sure the demon was going to hit him this round.   He might be OK.  In my mind I was thinking 2 hex range until Urrun arrives.  He'll circle to one side, choosing the terrain that best fits his morningstar and board (no tree branches, open ground if possible, etc).  Your discretion.

Stenet just waits, preparing to smack the vicious little imp away from the party when it reveals itself.



OOC:  Wait Maneuver.

Seeing Goran Circle, he circles to the other side, watching the chain and trying to get in close enough to swing his sword.



[Private to GM: IF close enough here are swing and damage rolls.

[Private to GM: Rolled 9 under skill, natural 5 this time, to cast sunbolt]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 197):

The demon was flying about 8 yards uo, and had flung out its 2 yard chain down towards the pixie, who was at least 3 yards above ground (the demon had dove from about 20 yards to launch the chain downward to the pixie from above)

Only missile weapons have reach, like the sunbolt that Melchizadek has just raised in his hand.

The demon gathers its chain for another go, and flys toward Melchizadek,  who will be subject to attack at the same time he fires the bolt.  This will leave the demon 2 yards above Mel.

He moves to hit the demon  when he gets close to Mel, with his Sword ...


[Private to GM: Urrun is 7'2" and with a slight stretch or small jump,  should be able to reach. I'm figuring a 36" + reach and a 30+ inch sword. ]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 199):

By which time Hograth will have had time to aim carefully at the creatures vitals and fire his silver bolt...

[Private to GM: as rolled above, Skill 16+6acc-3vitals =19, rolled 8. Rolled 17 imp damage to vitals if not dodged]

Ginko grins as the demon foolishly flies past him to lash out at the priest. One of the fundamentals of aerial combat is to protect your wings. Flying both behind and above the creature he now has a wonderful angle to test it's wing strength.

Ginko darts into the creatures back and unleashes a flurry of strikes designed to cripple its ability to fly.

OOC: Step into CC (Using up to 3 hexes of step) or Move and attack(heroic) if he is further away. Four punches into its left wing from behind (He would have had to fly past me to get to Mel so I'm assuming his back is now turned to me).

[Private to GM: 08:04, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 12 using 3d6.  punch 4. (telegraphic +4, wing -2, SM difference equals bonus to hit?, assuming effective skill for punch 1 is 14, could be higher)

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 202):

Several things happen:

The demon does not dodge the bolt, but manages to stay in the fight despite this.

Ginko beats ineffectively on its armored wings. Its scaly hide repels the blows.

Thirdly, it strikes (from 4 yards up) at Melchizadek with its hooked chain, delivering  9 points crushing unless dodged or parried at -5, or blocked at -3

"Your suffering will be legendary even in Hell sun priest!"

Seeing how the fight will fair against this foe Stenet shouts, "Urrun, switch with me!  Get out your sling and deal with the cowardly imps!"

Then he moves over next to Melchizadek.



OOC:  If close enough, IE if he could Step, he Step and Waits to Attack the chain.  If not he Moves, and then prepares to Sacrificial Block for Mel.

Goran will keep on as before.  Running with an attempt to hit the thing, if it gets within reach.

[Private to GM: First choice will be to smack the thing.  Are the previous rolls OK?

14:14, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 14 using 3d6.  Goran Shield 15 (2 points, 4 fatigue -1 for skill).]

In reply to Nymorz (msg # 203):

Was Urrun able to do any damage?

Ginko rubs his fists thoughtfully. The beast's hide was too thick to injure it by conventional means, but there is more than one way to knock a flier to the ground. Changing his tactics the pixie simply remains in close with the demon and inhales sharply next to its ear.

OOC: Step to remain in CC and to its rear and Kiai.

[Private to GM: 22:57, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 12 using 3d6.  Kiai - 13.]

OOC:  The demon is 4 yards in the air.  Unless you have a Reach 3 weapon, are SM+1 or greater, or using a ranged weapon, you cannot hit it.  That's why Stenet is requesting you switch targets, I have a plan to take it out of the air.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 208):

"This will leave the demon 2 yards above Mel."

Now Mel is likely around 5' 8 or 10" and Urrun is 7' 2", with long arms (Probably 38" or more) and a long sword... say 30-32" ... so two yards above Mel is likely very much in reach for Urrun. And his sword is magical, so it may indeed do damge as well.

OOC:  Your height doesn't matter.  You count as a 2 yard tall creature (as long as your're SM 0), with I suspect a Reach 2 weapon?

In that case, eh...  it's a tough call.  If the bottom of it's feet are at 16' feet up, that's 5 yards.  You can clearly hit it if it's at 4 yards up...  you may need to jump to hit it at 5 yards up.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 210):

Urrun is SM+1, being a bouda barbarian.

His Reach 1 weapon  is effectively 4 yards up. The demon is flying horizontally(or diagonally with a horizontal posture) and isnt dangling its legs, but kind of diving in to get at Melchizadek.

Urrun make a jumping roll and your attack will stand(what was damage again), -3 for the speed of the creature, +1 for SM+1, total-2

Stenet, block at -2.

Gorran,  the spell kicks in next round.

Ginko, your shout was resisted. You are still in close range of something that has both hands occupied, and its eyes ate not protected by DR the same way
The SM sifference betrmween you means you only have -3 to punch it in the eye.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:56, Sat 26 Dec 2020.

Jumping is the trained skill (as for long jumps or the like), but page 203 says use DX or Jumping  skill, which ever is higher... there is no default. As I read it everyone can jump, some just do it better with training.
I'll let you decide on a minus adjustment, but he is "fit" so in shape.

Getting a little frustrated with this demon Ginko decides to fight dirty. Its a demon, anything you choose to do to a demon is honor neutral right?

OOC: Punch left eye, then punch right eye.

Stenet slaps the chain aside with his shield, blocking Melchizidek, and then prepares for the demon's next attack...




OOC:  Wait, interrupt with an Attack to disarm the chain on the demon's next attack.

Spending 1 FP on Feverish Defense.

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 213):

Ginko blinds its left eye, and grazes the right. The demon pulled out of its dive after being sliced in the thigh by the leaping gnoll, and retracts its hooked chain before looping back for another go at Mel, this time from behind!

It tries to swat away the pesky pixie- dodge Ginko! (Or take 6.pts cutting!)
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:55, Sun 27 Dec 2020.

He frowns at Stenet... he wants to fight this evil too ... but he moves away and sheathes his sword, loading a bullet for the little pests.

Looking for doom brats, he doesn't notice any... he wonders if he should return to the fight with the demon.

[Private to GM:  14:12, Today: Urrun rolled 16 using 3d6.  Perception . I see, hear smell Nothing! ]

OOC:  Is demon attacking Mel again with his chain?  The description is unclear.

The demon was like most big things and lacked to focus to deliver a blow that could really threaten the flighty pixie. Ginko flaps and spins away from the swat and evades harm by a wide margin. The fight was turning against the demon after his surprise attack fell flat. Already it had on blinded eye and had taken a wound to its leg. Ginko is shocked to see it circle about for another pass rather than to flee.

Instantly suspicious of what seemed to be a solo strike when the beast was so largely outmatched the pixie climbs sever yards into the air to get a good look around. This attack could very well be just a distraction.

OOC: Retreat 3 yards skywards as part of his dodge. Move 11 yards higher on his turn and take a look around for more attackers both above and below.

[Private to GM: 17:22, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 10 using 3d6.  dodge (aero, retreat, change plane) - 17.

17:16, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 12 using 3d6.  aerobatics - 18.]

Goran feels the power of Hors flow through him, and feels satisfied that he has done what he can to protect his fellow priest.  With Stenet guarding Melchizadek in the front, Goran guards his rear, and also scans for other threats.  There was mention of more doombrats, but he has not seen them.

OOC  Wait, and attack or defend if anything hostile gets within reach.  If the demon attacks Melchizadek, Goran will try to block or parry it as best as he can.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 219):

While Urrun has gone noseblind to the stink of the little demonets because of the foul musk of the flying demon, Ginko can see three of them heading toward the sun priest. Singlemindedly, the half blind demon is focusing on charging at Melchizadek from behind (last turm was a move only) and is winding up the chain to strike!

Urrun keeps scanning for things...

[Private to GM: With you concurrence Urrun catches the movement of the little beasties:
11:45, Today: Urrun rolled 9 using 3d6.  Perception . by 3 ]

Still waiting to defend Melchizidek and make his move when the demon attacks...




OOC:  Wait, interrupt with an Attack to disarm the chain on the demon's next attack.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 222):

Melchizadek is grateful for the assistance offered by Stenet, and holds up his staff in anticipation of the next attack, turning to face the vile thing.

"Unless I come as part of a cleansing army, I will not be going to Hell, disgusting thing. I may only be human, but we have strength in numbers..."

[OOC: What would it take to use the staff to ensnare the chain on the next attack to pull the creature earthwards? A successful parry?]

[Private to GM: Rolled Last dodge, was 14, so without Stenets help, he would take damage. DR 5 armour from last encounter helps somewhat...]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 223):

Hograth, noting with some frustration, that the silver bolt did not kill it or bring it down, and yet he has no other ranged weapon, begins the long laborious process of reloading (13 rnds!).

Can he see if it did damage?

Ginko shouts and points. "Three more right there!"

He remains where he is and calls out as the situation changes. He wanted no part of dealing with the exploding ones and had contributed well enough to fighting the big one to trust the others to finish the job.

Remembering the words of his LADY, Ginko looks for a body of water in which the small demons can be drowned.

[Private to GM: 14:08, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 6 using 3d6.  perception - 10.

14:08, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 15 using 3d6.  perception - 10.

Sorry the dice roller froze and I hit it a second time. The 15 was my first roll. I was going to attempt an area knowledge as well at default to know if water was nearby, can use second roll.]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 224):

The demon's chain strikes a glancing blow, doing only 7pts before DR.

Disarming the chain cannot be done with a staff; either a hooked weapon or hands gripping it and a contest of ST, or a strike to the hands... the weapon is about 5yards long, and the chain needs be ensnared . A staff won't  do for that purpose.


The crossbow bolt appeared to do some severe damage, but wasn't enough to kill it.


Ginko spotted a pond not too far away.

IF Urrun sees these Doom Brats, he loads his swing and takes aim.

Ginko flies down to ground level and perches on Urrun's shoulder. He speaks out loud for the other's to hear as well.

"Lets take them without explosions this time shall we? There is a pond nearby, do you remember the LADY'S words? we should drown them."

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 228):

Attacking to disarm them of their knives(-5) can prevent explosions. They do not have significant claws or teeth and are too weak otherwise to do damage.

OOC:  Technically a staff can.  It's an attack to disarm, and is -5 (-3 for attacking a reach 2 or greater weapon, -3 for not using a fencing weapon).  If Mel, or Stenet hit (Normally the demon could defend with a Parry or a Dodge, but as Kusari are -2U on Parry and it attacked, it can only Dodge the attempt to disarm... which makes no sense), it's then a Quick Contest of Weapon Skill (either party may opt to use ST instead of DX).  The demon gets +2 if he's using two hands on the weapon.  Which means the attack to disarm is likely to hit, but fail to disarm.  Note, if the demon attacks to disarm, it's at -5 to hit Mel's Staff and -6 to hit Stenet's axe.  It then gets a +2 on the Quick Contest because it is using a Kusari weapon.  So the demon would be less likely to hit, but more likely to succeed.

Stenet takes a step and turns to block the attack against Melchizedek's back, and then strikes at the chain attempting to catch it with the beard of his axe and pin it between axe and shield...




OOC:  Wait triggers, Stenet turns to face the attack (Step), Blocks the chain, and then Attacks to Disarm.

18:04, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 11 using 3d6.  Block 17 (Block 12 + 3 DB + 2 Higher Purpose).

18:07, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 9 using 3d6.  Disarm 14 (Axe 17 - 5 Disarm + 2 Higher Purpose).

If the demon fails to Dodge, it's then a Quick Contest of Weapon Skills.  Stenet will opt for ST to use Extra Effort bonus to ST...

18:16, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 7 using 3d6.  Extra Effort, Will 15, ST bonus.  MoS +8 for a 40% increase to the next roll.

If there is a Quick Contest (IE demon fails to Dodge)...  Stenet turns and uses his weight and strength to give the chain a hard jerk attempting to yank it from the demon's grip.

18:22, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 9 using 3d6.  Axe 27  (ST Based Skill 17 + 8 Extra Effort + 2 Higher Purpose).

Melchizadek will attempt to keep low, and look to hide in trees to make the demons attempts to attack with the chain less effective. Meanwhile, he will use all his skills in defence...

[Private to GM: All -out defence, dodge seems best then...rolled 12. All-out defence+2, retreating dodge+3, Dodge, 8 (encumbered) so target 13. I under...]

The demonic chain caught, it brakes with its wings and hauls back...qc of ST please, with your higher purpose added in

Who is rolling? Mel made his defence roll, didn't he? He does not have higher purpose if he is rolling...

OOC:  It's a QC of Weapon Skill (DFRPG Exploits pg 37).  We can use ST for DX, if it's stats are unchanged from the book (and making a ST roll by 9 when rolled an 11 it looks like it)... it would have a ST based Chain skill of 24, so it makes it by 13 (if it's Chain skill is higher than 16, adjust accordingly).

Stenet made his roll vs ST based Axe by 18.

18:16, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 7 using 3d6.  Extra Effort, Will 15, ST bonus.  MoS +8 for a 40% increase to the next roll.

18:22, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 9 using 3d6.  Axe 27  (ST Based Skill 17 + 8 Extra Effort + 2 Higher Purpose).

This is why Holy Warriors have such high Wills.  Extra Effort and ignoring Evil mind control.  Our two main reasons for high Wills are Extra Effort, nigh-immunity to Mind Control, and almost fanatical devotion to our gods.  Among our, no... our chief reasons for... no...

Look I'll just come in again shall I?

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 235):

The chain is whipped from the demon's grasp! It howls in frustration  and flies up and back to make another dive at Melchizadek.

In reply to Nymorz (msg # 236):

Melchizadek smiles, and prays for a sunbolt.

[Private to GM: Rolled 1 under skill to cast the spell...]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 237):

Noting the Demon's ranged chain has been wrested from him, Hograth stops winding the crossbows winch and drops the crossbow to rest on the sling, drawing his Axe and Shield instead as he moves closer to the Sunpriest.

Ginko stays aware of the situation around him and flies 5 yards overhead and a bit closer to Melchizidek. He had no interest in helping with the exploding ones other than to spot them and advise on drowning. Already he had witnessed one of the members of this expedition wading into the little demons with reckless abandon, the pixie did not want any part of being in the deadly blast radius when history repeated itself.

He has no intention of wrestling doom brats, but he has his sling ready for any he can see.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 240):

One of the giggling terrors comes out of the grass

Stenet turns and prepares to slam the demon when it swoops in...



OOC:  Wait, prepared to All Out Attack (Strong) Slam the Demon of Old...

Goran will shield rush the one coming out of the grass.  Because he was not smart enough to give up after the first round of attacks.

[Private to GM: Not a lot of time after catching up, but here you go.
18:06, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 7 using 3d6.  Goran Shield 14.]

Urrun swings the bullet in his sling and launches it at the little beast.


[Private to GM:  19:00, Today: Urrun rolled 12 using 3d6.  Sling    by 5
19:01, Today: Urrun rolled 10 using 2d6+3.  Sling bullet damage.]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 244):

Gorran knocks back the doomchild, injuring it and knocking the knife from its grasp.

Urrun's bullet explodes the second, which lights up the third with an earthsharrering Kaboom!

In reply to offspring (msg # 245):

Stenet, roll damage on that slam.
Elsewise, he rakes at Mel with claws and tail, dodge please, as it would be 14 points cutting before DR (5) the tail attack is inneffective.

The demon is now on the ground, in metee range.

He loads another bullet, this one piercing and launches it at the demon as soon as he can get a clear shot. Urrun will move a little if needed to do that.

[Private to GM:  12:01, Today: Urrun rolled 13 using 3d6.  Sling.
12:07, Today: Urrun rolled 5 using 2d6+3.  Sling Bullet (Pi). great time to roll snake eyes.]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 247):

Melchizedek will retreat away from the demon as it attacks him, barely dodging the attack...


[Private to GM: Retreating dodge, made by 1]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 248):

Hogarth continues to ready his axe and shield...please let me know when he is ready...

OOC:  My bad, I forgot to make the rolls.

13:24, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 11 using 3d6.  Shield Slam 16.

13:30, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 11 using 1d6+5.  Shield Slam damage 1d+5 (1d -2 Slam +3 DB +2 Higher Purpose +2 AOA).

13:40, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 8 using 3d6.  DX 13, in case the DoO rolls more damage on the Slam.

It deals 2d-4* back. If it rolls less than 11 damage it checks DX or falls down (which is why Stenet made this attack), if it rolls 5 or less it falls automatically, if it rolls more than 11, Stenet already made his DX check (if it rolls more than 22, Stenet's in trouble...).


* ST 20 is 2d-1 thr, so unless it has something to bolster Slams, like Sumo or Higher Purpose versus Annoying Holy Warriors, or has a higher ST, or something else i don;t know about, it's rolling a 2d-4 (2d-1 thr, -2 Slam, -3 DB of Stenet's Shield, +1 SM, +1 SSR for Move 3)

Ginko's agitation is less broadcast by his facial expression than by his rapid darting about and yelling. "No! Noooo! Not like that!"

Ginko flies back towards Urrun so he can scold him up close and proper about not detonating the small demons.

OOC: Move to 3 yards height above Urrun.

He looks up at the tiny thing squeaking in his direction and wonders what it's problem is.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 250):

The sling bullet bounces off the demon's thick hide, distracting it into being slammed onto the ground as Stenet blocks its approach!

In reply to Nymorz (msg # 253):

Melchizadek grows his sunbolt to 3d with another 2 fp, and aims at the demons Eyes (-9).

Stenet steps up and makes two savage chops at one of the demon's wings, "Cripple it before it takes to the air again!"



OOC:  Attack, Rapid Strike, Flurry of blows, Targeting Hit Location Wing (-2).

00:41, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 8, 8 using 3d6,3d6.  Axe 14 (Axe Skill 17 +2 Higher Purpose -2 Wing -3 Rapid Strike).  2 FP for Extra Effort Flurry of Blows.

00:44, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 5, 8 using 1d6+4,1d6+4.  Potential damage, two hits Axe cutting 1d6+6 (1d6+2 +2 Higher Purpose).*

* Original roll added in +2 for Mighty Blows.  I keep forgetting you can't Flurry and Mighty Blows on the same attack.

OOC  If and when appropriate, let Goran know how he did on the shield rush.  Not 100% sure what roll should be made for damage if he hits.

OOC:  It's your straight thrust damage based on ST, -2 for it being a slam, + the DB of your shield, + the SSR bonus for how far you moved.  So if you have a medium shield that's your ST thrust and then let gwythaint add the bonus for how far you moved.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 257):

He moved about six yards... targeting  wing?

Stenets did some dsmage to onre wing, but could not cut through it on the first strike.

OOC:  Goran, did you roll to hit yet?  That's straight Shield skill (you can't really target a body part unless the creature is really big, like SM +2 greater than you are, so Ginko could slam a specific body part on all of us).  And are you slamming the big demon or the imp?

Your damage will be your base thrust +2 (-2 for Slam, +2 for DB, +2 for Move 5+).  If you don't know your base thrust, what's your ST?

Is Hograth ready to wade into combat yet?

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 260):

Melchizadek's sunbolt to the eye misses badly...fortunately the thing is taller than him, and it goes up towards the sun!

[Private to GM: Rolled 5 over skill to hit, only factoring in Acc of 2.]

Goran slams in to the imp as it exits the gradd, connecting with it solidly.

[Private to GM: 18:25, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 6 using 1d6+4.  Goran 1d+4 shield slam damage.]

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 262):

The doom child is flung backwards by a few yards.

Hograth is ready to wade in. The demon is getting up and facing towards Melchizadek again.

He looks for more of the little problem children

In reply to Urrun (msg # 264):

So far just the two.

Stenet grunts and launches another pair of blows aimed at the demon's wing, abandoning all pretense of self-defense to emphasize power...




OOC:  All Out Attack (Strong), Rapid Strike, Flurry of Blows.  2 FP.

23:44, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 10, 13 using 3d6,3d6.  Axe 14 (skill 17 + 2 Higher Purpose - 2 Wing - 3 Rapid Strike).

23:46, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 12, 11 using 2d6+5, 2d6+5.  Potential damage, Axe cutting 2d+5 (Axe 2d+1 + 2 Higher Purpose + 2 AOA Strong).

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 266):

Finally ready, Hograth moves in behind the demon and strikes at the wings...

[Private to GM: Move and attack, Is there an All-out-attack version of this, since the demon is focussed on Melchizadek? Basic move 6, -4 to hit, -2 for wings + SM if any, Effective skill 18 (Skill 16+1 balanced)+1(Bond), 18-6=12, rolled 10 so 2 under, silvered axe, 11 cut damage if not dodged. Attack from behind for wings? If he cannot reach, arms instead...]

Melchizadek get ready to jump back out of the demons attack, using all his focus to frustrate the demons attack.

[Private to GM: All-out-defence, +2 to dodge, Retreating Dodge, +3 to dodge, So 8(with encumberance)+2+3=13, rolled 11.]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 268):

The demon howls in frustration as serious injury is done to its armored wing,  and
The celestial leaps out of the way of its claws.


The doombrat struck by the shield rush is up, and trying to find its knife...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 267):

Also move and attack is an entire action. All out attack involves no move.

OOC:  You can move on an All Out Attack, explicitly, turn in place, or Move up to 2 hexes or half your Move (round up) straight forward (whichever is more) with no facing changes.  If you Move forward you must do so before you make any attacks.

That half Move can be very, very important for people with Move 6 or more, and the 2 Move means even Dwarves at Heavy Encumbrance can charge forward 2 yards and attack without it beign the inferior Move and Attack Maneuver.

Good to know!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 272):

The demon lunges at Mel again, dragging its wounded wing.

Melchizadek,  dodge or take 11 pts cutting before DR

Not sure where Urrun is in relation to things, but he soves the sling in his belt and pulls Bloodletter and tries to close on the demon from the rear.

Stenet steps into the demon from behind, slamming it with his braced shield again, hoping it goes down again...




OOC:  All Out Attack (Strong), Shield Rush.

19:29, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 10 using 3d6.  Shield Slam 18 (skill 10 + 2 Higher Purpose).

19:31, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 9 using 1d6+5.  Shield Slam damage 1d+5 (1d -2 Slam +3 DB +2 Higher Purpose +2 AOA).

19:32, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 11 using 3d6.  DX 13, in case the DoO rolls more damage on the Slam.

It deals 2d-4* back.  If it rolls lower than 9, it checks vs DX for fall, if it rolls 4 or lower if falls automatically.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 275):

Melchizadek is glad to be able to take the attention of the demon, Dodging artfully back out of the way of it's attacks once again, and making sure he continues to do so with words he doubts the demon will like to hear.

"Poor little deceived creature. Do you really think you can defeat me? I serve the higher planes...we were destined to bring you evil creatures to justice. It is our destiny."

[Private to GM: Rolled 9, All-Out Defence, Retreating Dodge, target 13, so 4 under.]

Hograth takes advantage of the demons distraction to attack with all his might...

[Private to GM: All -out-attack, Double with silvered Dwarven Axe. 1st attack, other wing, 10 under skill, 12 cut damage. Second attack, 17, effective skill 18...is that made a regular miss, or how do we handle that? Technically a critical miss and a hit at the same time...]

Urrun waits for an opening...

With the rest of the group distracted by the demon, Goran takes a wait maneuver to more keep the imps at bay over actively destroying them.  It would be much better done from distance.  He does, however, try to maneuver to keep the imp away from it's knife.

OOC Step and wait, try to keep the imp from acquiting it's knife back.  If it exposes itself, he'll take the swing and suffer the boom boom, if he has to.

[Private to GM: 10:13, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 8 using 2d6+2.  Goran 2d+2 flail damage.
10:13, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 12 using 3d6.  Goran Shield Block 13 if attacked.
10:11, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 10 using 3d6.  Goran flail 15 if the creature gets in reach.]

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 279):

Stenet slams the demon, who holds its ground, but shifts causing Hograth to miss his second wing shot.

Goran smashes a doombrat's hand, injuri g but not detonating it. Urrun arrives behind the demon and its mangled wings, but is  locked by the dwarves on either flank.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 280):

So the first attack hits? [Private to GM: It was 10 under skill...also a wing shot.]

Practically invisible during the scuffle Ginko continues to keep watch from on high. With imminent explosions and frantic close combat he feels staying out of things for now is better for his health. Also, it is good to have someone keeping an eye out and not laser focused on the combat at hand.

Picking a moment when the two dwarveswere back out of the way a bit, Urrun unloads on the demon (who is taller than a dwarf too) with a swing straight down with bloodletter.

[Private to GM:
20:10, Today: Urrun rolled 9 using 2d6+3.  Broadsword Cutting.
20:09, Today: Urrun rolled 11 using 3d6.  broadsword.   by 3 ]

Seeing the savage wishes to jam betwixt himself and Hograth, Stenet double steps around to the front of the demon, focusing on his and Melchizedek's defense...


OOC:  Noting that the demon still hasn't taken it's action, so this may be delayed until after that.

All Out Defense (+2 Dodge), allows up to half Move (if you chose Dodge) and Stenet current has a Move of 4.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 284):

I presume the demon missed his attack, or is Melchizadek still holding his as-yet-unused defence?

[Private to GM: Copied from last time... Rolled 9, All-Out Defence, Retreating Dodge, target 13, so 4 under.]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 285):

The demon missed due to the dodge. Both wingdms are out, the demon is bleeding purplish ichor, and the wounds left by bloodletter are smoking.


Demonology rolls folks

In reply to Narrator (msg # 286):

Is that Hidden Lore(demons)? [Private to GM: Rolled 3 over Hidden Lore (Demons)]

OOC:  00:01, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 8 using 3d6.  Hidden Lore (Demon) 12.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 288):

Go for the heart!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 289):

Melchizadek continues his defence...

[Private to GM: All-out-defence, retreating dodge as before, target 13 with encumbrance, rolled 13...]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 290):

Hograth does so, swinging furiously, twice!

Urrun, at the demons back, swings Bloodletter down hard again trying for the Vitals below the (Left*) shoulder.


[Private to GM:  15:57, Today: Urrun rolled 9 using 3d6.  broadsword.   by 5 less 2 for Vitals
15:59, Today: Urrun rolled 10 using 2d6+5.  Broadsword Cutting Strong.
Rolled even = right, odd = left. ]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 292):

Between you. You cut out its heart! The demon vomits forth purplish black ichor, and the body swiftly begins to decompose.

Stenet looks aroudn for more demons as well, and not seeing any goes to gather up the demon's chain.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 294):

The hide of a promptly flayed demon, if salted, cpopan produce parchment of a high quality that is particularly suited to inscribing Demonic Lore. If not salted, the body melts into putrescense except for some of the sharper bits like hooves, horns and claws. The ichor can be preserved in alchohol...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 296):

Would such demonic lore be suited to any but those who serve demonic masters? If so, better to let it be destroyed...

Goran continues to keep the little imp at bay while the others finish the big demon.

Along the way, he comments gruffly:
"Anyone want to shoot this thing so it doesn't pop right on top of me?  I still have one burn on my cheek from an incident when I was younger."

OOC Same as before, smack it if the thing goes for it's knife.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 298):

The demon dealt with, Melchizadek creates a sunbolt to help Goran...

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 under skill to cast...]

Stenet looks to see that there are no other Doomchildren lurking about.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 300):

At the moment, there is one unarmed one with a broken wrist.

In reply to offspring (msg # 301):

A broken wrist? Surprised he did not pop...Hograth will begin the long process of recocking his crossbow, and recovering his silver bolt from the demon...

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 over perception, so I guess he has lost that one...]

He puts his sword up and gets his sling back out ...

Stenet sheds his shield and sets down his axe, "Nay, the goddess of spring don't want explosions, do this last one the hard way," he says as he begins walking towards it.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 304):

"Heh, with all the explosions so far, I am not sure about the difference, but if that is your plan, allow me to help..."

He releases his sunbolt, and Casts Resist fire on his friend.

[Private to GM: Rolled a Natural 4...this guy is fireproof!]

He looks confused Why get blow up? just hit with rock!

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 305):

Make another roll for critical effect.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 307):

Melchizadek finishes his prayer for protection of Stenet...

[Private to GM: Critical effect, 3 under skill, rolled 12.]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 308):

A beam of shimmering sunlight envelopes the dwarf, filling him with a sense of warmth... and fire resistance at no fp cost.

Stenet warily approaches the imp, over the course of a few seconds, and then closes the last two yards in a burst of speed and tries to grab the Doomchild...



OOC:  All Out Attack (Determined), Deceptive Attack, -4 to hit, -2 to Doomchild's defenses.

21:20, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 8 using 3d6.  Wrestling 15 (skill 14 + 2 Higher Purpose + 4 AoA -1 SM - 4 Deceptive).

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 310):

Stenet siezes the foul toddler sized creature by the arm that isn't broken. The hellspawn strughles to escape in vain.

Stenet steps closer to the creature and attempts to slide an arm around it's neck, pulling it into a chokehold.



OOC:  Committed Attack, attempting to initiate a Chokehold.

17:06, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 13 using 3d6.  Wrestling 14  (Skill 14 + 2 HPurp + 2 Comm Attack - 4 Chokehold).

If he succeeds, he'll start applying pressure and slowly choke the imp out.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 312):

The impish creature flails and spits, but is unable to break the hold.

In reply to offspring (msg # 313):

Hograth will just recock his crossbow. The thing will probably be dead by the time he is finished!

With the doomchild handled, Goran nods in assent and says "Thank you." before he circles around looking for more of the foul beasts.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 315):

There appear to be no other infernal children about.

Stenet will continue to choke the demon out until it falls unconscious.

"Get a rope," he says while waiting for it to cease it's struggles.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 317):

"Sorry, no rope..."

He continues to maintain the resistance to fire, just in case, and keeps his distance from the explosive brat.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 317):

A few moments later and it passes out limp in his arms

In reply to Narrator (msg # 319):

"Is there any water around to drown it, or can you continue to choke it to death?"

He must have recocked his crossbow by now...

"My pack," he grunts and nods towards his backpack against a tree and the rope fastened to it.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 321):

Melchizadek will head over to the pack and remove the rope, bringing it over to the two cuddling each other.

Goran, seeing that the situation seems to be under control, takes off his shield.  He sits down on the ground with his back against a tree, and begins to pray to Hors.  He will rest there for a while, quietly whuspering to himself in a fervent manner.

[Private to GM: Praying to Hors for healing, and then general prayers in thanks for his safety.  I believe he took 5 from a popping doomchild.  He was not familiar with them, so it seemed appropriate to take the first one.  He's a slow learner.  By my count he should be down 8 fatigue, after putting the protection spell on Mel.  Goran probably needs 20 minutes at Recover Energy 15.
20:00, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 10 using 3d6.  Goram Major Healing 14.]
