In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 438):

Hogarth, axe and shield ready, nods and moves in that direction.

[Private to GM: Rolled 4 under perception]

Stenet stays in the rear keeping a watch out so nothing doubles back and sneaks up on them.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 440):

Ginko can see that the area of blight reaches up to the lower branches of the trees- whatever is theremoving about is just over 7 feet high.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 441):

Can anyone else see it?

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 442):

whatever it is, it is moving quickly (9) and is below the treeline.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 443):

Which direction? Towards us?

He snifs the air...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 445):

sulphur, great cat, sour milk...

looks to be moving away at th moment, but the blighted areas loop back on eachother.

Smell demon lion or like

In reply to Urrun (msg # 447):

Hograth will be on guard. Probably the thing will go for Melchizadek when it sees him, so he stays in front of him.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 448):

Melchizadek will make that easy by staying close to the heavily armoured dwarf, and both move towards the forest.

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 449):

within the firrest are multiple tracks of this thing, crisscrossing between the trees.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 450):

Hograth is not sure if it is one or more, but it needs cleansing, so he heads in, shield and axe ready...and eyes open for the creature(s).

Stenet follows along doing rearguard and keeping an eye on their flanks.

with a fuendish roar, a bizarre thing rolls down the hill at whoever is in the center of the column.

over 7 feet high, it is a huge lion's head ringed with long legs, rolling toward you like a wheel. either side has a face full of teeth!

In reply to demonic lion head (msg # 453):

That would be Hograth at the centre. He braces to receive the attack ready to parry with his axe.

[Private to GM: Parry = 3 + Weapons skill /2 (9 with axe)+1 (Combat reflexes) +3 (DB of shield) = 16, rolled 13 to parry. This gives an attack roll on the offending...thing. Attack roll 9, 9 under skill with axe, so hit (no defense if I understand correctly, because they are attacking?), rolled 10 cut damage, silvered axe]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 454):

Melchizadek will stay behind the others, but ready to dive to the side if it looks like this thing might roll over the dwarf...casting sunbolt.

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under skill to cast, sunbolt.]

Stenet observes the great wheel of demon...



OOC:  21:08, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 9 using 3d6.  Hidden Lore (Demons) 12.  What kind of demon, does it have a weakness, or vulnerability?

Urrun whirls his sling and releases the bullet...

20:37, Today: Urrun rolled 8 using 3d6.  Sling.   [Private to GM: Made it by 9]
20:37, Today: Urrun rolled 14 using 2d6+3.  Sling Damage.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 456):

this looks like a lesser version of the demon lord Buer, who has goat legs instead of three toed feet.

Hograth, you cannot parry a trample! dodge or tske 8pts crushing before DR

where did your attack hit?


more details after this is resolved.

Urrun strikes the head(body?)
[Private to Narrator:4 total from that attack after 5 dr and 1/2 for not silver. the axe is at full vs dr 5 body or dr3 leg]

In reply to Narrator (msg # 458):

My bad, I though it was running up to bite me. In that case, Hograth dodges back out of the way, cutting at the creatures legs as it goes past. How many legs does it have?

[Private to GM: Rolled 3 under unmodified dodge, so 6 under retreating dodge. Same attack roll then, Attack roll 9, 9 under skill with axe, rolled 10 cut damage, silvered axe]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 459):

Melchizadek will also dodge easily out of the way as he casts his spell, since he was behind Hograth.

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 under dodge.]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 460):

the thing has five legs, and good news, they are its point of vulnerability!
They do seem to be armored, but the Akmxe blow cripples one!

In reply to demonic lion head (msg # 461):

Encouraged, Hograth tries to repeat the result...

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 under effective skill, so what is needed to hit a leg. 12 cut damage, silvered axe]

He stuffs the sling away and draws his sword.
