the statue is partially split, but still standing [private to Narrator: -17 hp]

it turns to stab at Urrun, doing 6 points impaling before DR!

In reply to fountain statue (msg # 12):

Armor is DR 3 vs Impaling and he has DR1 as well,so 2 [4] Impaling...  and Urrun backs away.

OOC:  Not sure if "falling back" would count under "if an ally falls"... for Stenet's Wait condition.  If so, he Moves into the spot Urrun was in and attacks, if not, I'll get to it next turn.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 14):

Urrun circled behind the statue and is retreating the way it came. you are good to go

In reply to Narrator (msg # 15):

No longer targeted, Hograth strikes twice (rapid strike) aiming at the creature in general so he could dodge if need be...

[Private to GM: Rapid strike, -6 to attack, effective skill 12, rolled 10 and 12 to hold, rolled 10 and 13 damage. Random hit location 9 both times....]

Stenet jogs into the space Urrun cleared and takes a swing at the leg they'd been smashing...


OOC:  Move and Attack, Heroic Charge, 1 FP, Mighty Blows 1 FP.
13:26, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 10 using 3d6.  Axe/Mace 18 (Axe Skill 18 -2 Hit Loc Leg + 2 Bless) . – [roll=1649611566.15729.257809]

Sorry,. I momentarily forgot Heroic Charge exists.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 17):

as three attacks cut into it, the statue shatters into a pile of bronze chunks.

separate from these are the bronze birdcage and the dark bronze shortsword.

Urrun wa;ls painfully to Melchezidek, holding his wound  You fix please?

Stenet slips off his pack and starts stuffing bronze chunks into it, "Hograth, take the sword and cage and catch back up with the hare if you can, I'll follow in a moment."

Melchizedek, who has been keeping up with the hare and tortoise, is very willing to heal Urrun when he catches up.

[Private to GM: Rolled skill, 3 FP heals 8 HP.]

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 21):

Hograth stows his axe, grabs the sword and birdcage, stuffing them into his backpack as he races to catch up with Melchizedek, Urrun and the hare.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 22):

you might have to hold onto the cage, it is about a foot wide by 18 inches tall and hangs from  a large loop.

Melchizidek has the key.  the sword is orichalcum.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 23):

Is there a hook on his backpack he can hang the cage from?

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 24):

with k ot tying you can rig something

Stenet spends no more than five to ten seconds scooping brass chunks into his pack, before discretion wins out over greed and he hustles after his comrades.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 26):

the tortoise is leading you further through holes in the hedge, bypassing larve sections of the maze.

suddenly,  they turn and push back the way they came...
"Snail!"

In reply to Narrator (msg # 27):

Unsuccessful at tying the knot[Private to GM: Rolled 2 under DX, knot tying at default], Hograth asks if they should fight the snail, handing the cage to Melchizedek...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 28):

a giant snail, its shell over a yard wide and high is heading toward you at a good clip!

In reply to racing snail (msg # 29):

Hograth readies his shield and axe to fight the thing! He is getting used to this...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 30):

the giant gastropod slows its advance. extending its eyestalks, as if evaluating the threat in front of it.

In reply to racing snail (msg # 31):

Hograth holds his ground, ready to defend his position but not moving forward to attack.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 32):

the hare calls out
"What are you waiting for? finish it or our agreement is void!"

"The agreement was to thwart the snail, the snail is currently thwarted, thus our arrangement stands.  However, if you explain what the snail wants that you need thwarted, we might be able to more permanently thwart it and then you can continue leading us to the tower at the center at the center of this maze."

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 34):

"The snail wants to eat us."

In reply to Narrator (msg # 35):

"This is a carnivorous snail?"
