Re: Adventure of Wyvern Tor, Too
Because of the sudden surge of attackers from 5 directions, the Flameskull doesn't react right away.
Tas has no problem scrambling out of the water channel by the waterwheel and closing the distance to attack the Flameskull.
Johnny Holy easily scrambles out of the water channel, rushes forward and just barely manages to hit the Flameskull (for 10 points of damage), mostly because of the distraction from the others.
Victor is also able to hit the Flameskull (for 12 points of damage) with his first attack, but the second attack misses.
Prizzard misses with his first attack, but hits with his second (but only does 3 points of damage).
Ero and Lureene run down the water channel to the waterwheel. They did spot someone hiding behind it, but when the whistle signal sounded, she charged forward to attack the Flameskull.
Hatchet Urikian, having come into the cavern from the other end of the water channel, also has no problem scrambling out of the channel and charging forward to attack.
Mithra charges out of the rear entrance to attack the Flameskull... but misses!
Cunaar lets loose with his Firebolt spell, but it does not appear to have any effect on the Flameskull.
Nixon manages to hit the Flameskull with a great blow... not a critical, but it does do maximum damage (11 points of damage).
Heinrik also manages to hit the skull with an arrow, but it only does 6 points of damage.
The Flameskull has some serious cracks and holes in it, but it is still functional.
It's perceptive enough to realize that Victor did the most damage to it, so it targets him with a Magic Missile spell (for 12 points of damage; 23:09, Today: StarMaster rolled 12 using 3d4+3 ((3,3,3))).
Because it doesn't move, it can make a second attack, casting yet another spell--Flaming Sphere. It targets the group that attacked from the right-hand side of the cavern, though it can only hit one per turn. It targets Nixon first for 12 points of damage (DEX save for half).
It's the end of the round now, and Tas and Hatchet make their attacks.
Hatchet: 23:21, Today: StarMaster, on behalf of 'Hatchet' Urikian, rolled 21,11,14,8 using 1d20+6,1d6+6,1d20+6,1d6+6 ((15,5,8,2)).
He attacks with a pair of short swords, manages to hit with both of them, but only does 10 points of damage to it. There are more holes and cracks in it!
Tas: 23:18, Today: StarMaster, on behalf of Tas, rolled 21,6 using 1d20+4,1d8+4 ((17,2)).
It took a few extra steps for Tas to reach the Flameskull, but her attack manages to strike it squarely, and though she only does 6 points of damage, it's enough to shatter the Flameskull!
The fractured pieces drop to the floor and the flaming sphere vanishes!
