OOC  I thought you could swing/kick or thrust/kick depending on the action.  Regardless, I rolled damage for the strike as a thrust.

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 66):

Knocked supine, it uses its move to pull itself into a seated position from which it msy be able to crawl.


Make a hearing roll at +4

Haveron turns and tries to open the wardrobe, while the thing in front of him tries to recover.

[Private to GM: He heard whatever it was.
09:25, Today: Secret Roll: Haveron Stormwal rolled 7 using 3d6.  Haveron Hearing 12]

Ryojin steps back and to the side as the blade comes in and guides the swing away from his body with the flick of his wrist.

He then charges his chi up once more, this time focusing it on his leg for a devastating kick. It lands true with a crunch.

retreating Judo Parry, success.

Karate kick, critical success, max damage. Golem takes 9 cr with armor divisor 2.

The thing's leg cracks slightly, and it readies its weapon.

Teresa smashes one with her improvised maul, sending cracks accross its chest.

In reply to Teresa the Shepherdess (msg # 71):

Gorgath swings the doomrazor twice, and severs anarmand a leg of one of the statues.

All are now injured to some degree.

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 66):

The wardrobe is clean and does not smell musty; withinare three cloaks draped over some sort of wodden frames, abouta dozen such triangular wooden contraptions hang from a rod spanning the wardrobe.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 73):

Gareth has made it to the entrance I presume? If so, he creates a Fireball...

[Private to GM: Rolled 8, 13 under skill.]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 74):

Berry is right behind you, the adept and Var are ahead of you.

The Adept is guarding the entrance so others can leave... he is just inside the door at the moment.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 76):

So I have made it to the door, and no-one is in range to attack me? If so, I will throw a fireball at the nearest one [Private to GM: Rolled 13 to hit, 8 under skill, 8 burning damage.]. If there is a chance one of these monsters can hit him, well melee for a mage is NEVER good, so he will keep retreating!

Haveron turns around to see what is happening behind him.  Is the construct still coming for him?

OOC 2-H sword parry if something swings at him, return fire with the greatsword if it comes to that.

[Private to GM: In case they are needed.

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 78):

The construct reaches for Haveron's ankle, and he cleaves it off at the wrist...it conti ues to squeeze the ankle. Meanwhile, the lower legs of the flesh golem are moving toward the body...


Gareth's fireballflies past Berry, nesrly si gi g her hair, and strikes the golem that swung at Gareth.

The ogres bash and slssh, destroying another golem in seconds!

In reply to Old servant (msg # 79):

"Sorry about the hair, Berry, but it is better than what these guys will do if they get close..."

He creates another to replace the one he just threw. How far is the nearest one now? Have they moved towards me? If they are getting close to melee range, he will beat a retreat out the door...

In reply to Gareth (msg # 80):

The one with the hole in its torso is heading down the hall toward you![*]

In reply to Stone golem (msg # 81):

Then Gareth will be beating a retreat through the door... suggesting others who did not want to be in melee with a stone golem do the same, creating the fireball once he gets outside.

The Adept comes on Guard to protect those fleeing, once they are safely gone he will step back out the door.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 83):

Ryojin, Haveron and the Ogres remain... there is quite a comotion going on in that room...

Ryojin steps into Close combat once more after delivering that kick and targets the same leg with a powerful punch imbued with his chi to penetrate! He ducks in low while doing so.


ooc:
penetrating strike, success.
karate punch to leg, success (almost a crit!)
damage is 4 cr with armor divisor 2 if target fails defense.

Berry lets out a small eep when the fireball goes sizzling past. She presses herself flat against the wall to get out of the way of the stone golem heading for Gareth.

Haveron turns on the creature, and swings his greatsword to remove it's head.

[Private to GM: With a skill of 20 he hits easily.
15:11, Today: Secret Roll: Haveron Stormwal rolled 12 using 3d6.  Haveron 2-H sword attacking neck.

Not sure if 13 cutting to the neck would be enough, but if necessary he can take a second swing.
15:13, Today: Secret Roll: Haveron Stormwal rolled 13 using 2d6+9.  Haveron 2-H sword damage 2d6+9.]

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 87):

The creatures hand releases its grip on your leg, and scuttles over tobthe severed head. The legs are worming their way to the torso, and the remaining hanfd is pulling a needle and thread out of a pouch. It appears to be completely disinterested in you, and concerned about gathering up its bits.
The wardrobe stands in the corner.

In reply to Old servant (msg # 88):

Having destroyed two golems with doomrazor and the treetrunk, Teresa and Gorgath decapitate and pulverize the one Ryojin  just put a crack into. The burnt one with the hole in it is heading down the hallway, a space too narrow for Teresa, and just wide enough for Gorgath to thrust, but Ryojin will get to it first.

Haveron reaches down and picks up the head, holding it by whatever is most convenient (hair, if it has any).  He then turns it's face so they can see eye to eye, and he speaks to the thing.  It's obviously a being of magic, and still alive.

"Cease your action, and I will leave you be when we depart, so you can sew yourself together.  Otherwise, we will destroy you.  I hold no malice towards the creatures in there or yourself.  We are here to see your master, and investigate the tower.  We have no way to discuss this, and your aggressiveness left us no other choice but to defend ourselves."


OOC  If we had just handed over our coats and had a refreshment, I'm sure the butler would have guided us along in a more friendly manner.  However, Haveron isn't experienced with constructs like these, and the mage who could have explained it is a bit of a loose cannon.
