With his arm still stinging from his attack attempt, "Just great, they are impervious to normal weapons."

"How about we change the playing field" He quickly got out some rope and started wrapping it around the statue's legs in an attempt to entangle and trip it up.  When he had enough he started pulling the rope tight.

Noting his success, Kullonar attacks the statue again, but this time his swing is not as effective.
10:22, Today: Kullonar rolled 9,5 using 1d20+1,2d4+1.  Morningstar vs. statue.

I'm not sure if you were looking for a to hit roll from me Seer for Uthecar's action of trying to grab the statues leg to topple it, but I did one unused in post #100 getting an 8 which doesn't even make the combat table. 

If possible seeing Zan pull out the rope he'll look to grab an end to assist and to pull with gusto.

Uthecar's 1st attempt to grapple fails (based upon your to hit roll to start the last round).

We are now in the second round, so you attack again.

Hoping that the magic from his new bow will translate to arrows that can sustain magical damage, Gildan fires twice more.

OOC: 13:10, Today: Gildan Stalker rolled 4 using 1d6+2.  Damage 2.
13:10, Today: Gildan Stalker rolled 7 using 1d6+2.  Damage 1.
13:09, Today: Gildan Stalker rolled 13 using 1d20+7.  Bow attack 2.
13:09, Today: Gildan Stalker rolled 14 using 1d20+7.  Bow attack 1.

Uthecar again tries to come to terms with the creations legs and bundle them up to use the statues own weight as it falls to do what he believe will be more damage than his axe against stone.

05:11, Today: Uthecar Hornskin II rolled 13 to hit (AC7) using 1d20+4 to tackle.
 STR bonus only used no DEX modifier and no AC modifier.

I've gone and ignored helping Zan with the rope.  Sorry my oversight, but I'll let this action stand for now.

OOC: Seer, may a Shield be used as a weapon? Even if it means that it may not be used in the same round for defense, it would give me a magical blunt weapon...

If this would work, what would the damage die be?

The Statues take their turn: the first with swords and daggers follows up his attack with another devastating attack on Bruknar for an additional 12points of damage

Bruknar falls to the floor unconscious.

The Second statue: great sword and hand axes, attacks Bruno again

Bruno knows no fear! He steps inside the constructs weapons - all three swings miss: strike one, strike two, strike three.

Next in line: Bruno, Kullonar, Myrrick and Zan.

OOC: talk about your blind luck
23:38, Today: Zan rolled 5,22 using d6+2,d20+2.  hog tied.

With the statues focused on the Dwarves, Zan looped a rope around the legs of the statue and pulled the rope tight.

As Bruno is preparing for another thrust of his blade he catches the fall of Bruknar and notes something, "When their opponant falls they STOP! EVERYONE focus your attacks on MINE!!!"

And with that he thrusts his short sword again at the statue in front of him.


21:55, Today: Bruno Rhunthane rolled 8 using 1d6+7.  Short Sword Damage.

21:55, Today: Bruno Rhunthane rolled 11 using 1d20+4.  Short Sword Attack.

Round 2: Conclusion

Gildan keeps firing, but finds that despite his quick hands with a bow, there doesn't seem to be any effect upon the statue. DM Note: I have Gildan located toward the upper part of the chamber.

Uthecar attempts a to grapple the statue that was originally situated at the entrance of the cavern (2 daggers/2short swords). His effort fails. DM Note: Uthecar started melee near the top of the cavern, but has moved 'down' in his two rounds of action to behind Bruno.

Statues: The dagger/short sword statue attacks Bruknar. Two strikes hit, a dagger and a short sword, including a critical roll that caused a total of 18 points of damage (total from the first round was 6pts of damage). DM Note: Bruknar falls.

DM Note: Bruknar never moved far from the silver vein. He fell near Bruno.

The second Statue (the one in the lower portion of the cavern) completely whiffed with Great sword and hand axes. DM Note: This statue has moved up the passage next to Myrrick and Zan.

Kullonar swings and misses with his morning star. DM Note: I have Kullonar near the left wall, some 10' from the tapestry, across from Bruno, above Zan.


Bruno gives a good solid swing against the statue that felled Bruknar, but it doesn't seem to do any damage. DM Note: Bruno is about 6' from the vein. He was standing behind Bruknar when the statues began their attack.


Myrrick attacks the statue with the great sword and axes. His strike is true, one of the hand axes is sheared off, and lands with a heavy thump further down the corridor. NICE! DM Note: Myrrick is along the left wall near Zan, below the tapestry.

As Myrrick goes vorpal on the statue, Zan sneaks around the combatants and loops a rope around both shoulders. It appears that this statue cannot attack with his great sword. DM Note: Natty 20s trump all. Nicely done, Zan. You'll have plenty of stories for your lady friend when you get back to civilization. The statue will have to roll a successful save to disentangle - he failed on his first try.

DM Note - RE: Round two. Everyone got an attack. This is a fairly narrow cavern, but there's enough room for all to move back and forth in your attacks. It is like a game of tag, if you will. If you don't move, you'll be 'it'.

I bring this up because you might not think you're at the spot I put you, but from my perspective, and keeping track of party order and statues, I kind of see how this combat is playing out.

That said, if you have suggestions that would improve your gaming experience, let me know.

His own focus broken by his shouted warning, Bruno's sword does not penetrate the statue.

The third time had better be the charm! he thinks to himself as he thrusts again.

OCC:
13:49, Today: Bruno Rhunthane rolled 15 using 1d20+4.  Short Sword Attack.
13:49, Today: Bruno Rhunthane rolled 10 using 1d6+7.  Short Sword Damage.

Round 3
Initiative order:
Gildan
Uthecar
Statues
Kullonar
Bruno
Myrrick
Zan

Note:
Kullonar, Bruno and Myrrick have the same initiative.

Myrrick, happy to see his attack effective, slashes again, slicig through the air, trying to decapitate the statue... if it has need of it's head.

21:39, Today: Myrrick rolled 6 using 1d10+4.  hurt.

21:39, Today: Myrrick rolled 23 using 1d20+3.  hit.
natty 20!!!!

Hoping his sword is more effective, Gildan will move in until he is within attacking reach of a statue and attack.

OOC:
18:23, Today: Gildan Stalker rolled 5 using 1d8+1.  Damage.
18:22, Today: Gildan Stalker rolled 19 using 1d20+1.  Sword attack.

Hearing Bruno's call, Kullonar lurches into movement...and finds himself off balance as he attacks...
23:22, Today: Kullonar rolled 3,6 using 1d20+1,2d4+1.  Morningstar attack on statue.

OOC:  I'm having a hard time picturing this battle I must admit.  Is Uthecar near the statue Zan tangled or attacking the other one?

Uthecar: The other one. You went to look at the vein of silver, then made your way up toward the entrance and the statue with swords & daggers. You were going to try to topple it.

ooc: I don't know if I was clear the statues aren't living they are constructs of a sort, carytid columns without the columns. They are made of stone, can move at a dwarf's pace (60'). They have a specific magical 'program' if you will. And the party can now tell that they focus solely on the opponent they currently are battling until that opponent is either unconscious or dead, given Bruno's warning shout.

OCC:  Sorry missed the warning shout post completely.  Never saw it until you just mentioned it Seer.

Axe in hand Uthecar hurries to respond moving to Bruno's statue if he isn't already there.

06:43, Today: Uthecar Hornskin II rolled 24,12 using 1d20+6,1d8+10.  to hit and damage .

Round 3 Conclusion

Gildan strikes true with his sword, lands a blow for 5pts damage.

Uthecar does the same, swings the axe with burly might and scores a successful blow against the stony construct.

Between Gildan and Uthecar, the damage to the statue is enough so that it falls and crumbles to the ground, all that's left is rock dust.

The other statue breaks free of the rope. It will have a turn next round.

As Kullonar whiffs, Bruno charges the lower statue and scores a hit. Myrrick, next to him also scores a telling blow - between them both, the foe vanquished!

Left with nothing to do, Zan looks about.

ooc: Nice job keeping your poise. Sadly, Bruknar fell in battle and has left this world for the halls of his fathers.

ooc2: Everyone played a role in this battle. They were a tough opponent. You'll see more of that in the next part adventure...but I'm getting ahead of myself.

What are you guys going to do?

Zan was visibly saddened by the loss of Bruknar.  He glanced over to the other dwarven members not having any words of comfort.

The realization that Bruknar is beyond help darkens the exaltation Bruno felt when the battle turned out to be much easier than it was going to be. He had gone to his knees next to the warrior preparing to cast a spell of curing, but with the realization that it would be for naught he leans back on his heels, "Go to the Soul Forger, cousin. You have earned this rest!"

He says a funereal prayer in Dwarven and rises, "Well fought, comrades. We've done Bruknar's warrior spirit well by finishing this battlefor him. Does anyone need healing?"

ooc: along with Bruknar, Bruno took 6pts of damage in the first round. That was it.
