Re: The Black Tower

In reply to Narrator (msg # 637):

I was thinking the adept...but his profile pputs him at 7 ft. In that case he will fight around the sides of the closer two, using the 2 yd range of breathe fire to stay far enough back, but as breath fire is a melee attack, it is the same as fighting with a spear behind a companion, as I understand.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 641):

Haveron swings again. this time severing the beast's leg. Omar joins in , slashing at the enraged thing, which swings at him with its club, thumping on his shield.


the recently scorched one breaks from the lizardman and Safwan (giving them its back) charging Gareth, and tries to bite him for 7 points cutting unless dodged

Since Gareth has put the other fighters between him and the constructs, he was not expecting to have to dodge them (Read I can't roll under 15 to dodge today)...

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 645):

these warped creatures are very much alive. although gravely wounded.

The one that attacked Gareth is now short a leg, and Amelia  hits it (roll damage)

it is grappling Gareth with its massive arms!

She regrets not having a better way with things martial, as the blade doesn't do so very much.

Re: The Black Tower

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 647):

Since this thing likes to hold Gareth, he manipulates the mana around it with his mind...

[Private to GM: Burning Death, rolled a natural 6 with a skill of 20. I believe that is a critical? Since grappling, touch attack is automatically successful...in fact he would like to touch less. Since he knows the spell at skill 20, being held, or indeed silenced as well, would not be an issue. What to roll to escape? ST or escape skill?]

Re: The Black Tower

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 650):

Between Safwan's brutal punch and the Adepts cleave, the beast, still breathing, collapses onto Gareth,  who needs a ST roll to escape before his spell takes effect... if it were conscious,  the roll would be opposed by 24...


meanwhile, the other one swings at Haveron, who parroes, and then cuts off one of its arms, and Omar slashes it... too stupid to die, it holds onto consciousness,  such as it is.

He turns and moves toward the other creature, sword ready, stepping around Haveron.

Re: The Black Tower

"Horror!" calls Amelia, not really aware of the repetition as she repeats her action of swinging her broadsword to little effect.

[Private to GM: 09:00, Today: Secret Roll: Amelia Montaigne rolled 9,2 using 3d6,1d6.  Broadsword 13 and potential damage]

Gareth stays well back, looking for an opportunity to vomit fire at the thing without hitting any of his friends ( higher priority, no attack if any significant risk).

Re: The Black Tower

The adept moves to a position to the side of the protrate figure and thrusts for what he hopes is it's backbone/central nervous system.


[Private to GM:  14:04, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 13 using 3d6.  Aimed thrust to backbone/nervous system. Given the target is prone, the strike is good
14:04, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 4 using 1d6+3.  Sword thrust Damage. and he of course rolls a 1, so just 4 impaling.

Safwan's main concern now is whether these things might catch fire.

Is there anything flammable near the one that had burning death cast on it?

Edit: I realised I forgot to update the HP. The total was wrong too. Have rectified.
