[DFRPG] Crawl! IC

[ajardoor]

Vic's righteous action saves the hireling form the sword blow, and then stops his own attacker.

He lands a good hit back on the warrior, who is still in the fight.

Then the eight female hobgoblins toss their aimed spears. Two are thrown at the shadow elf, two are thrown at Vic, two are thrown at Telrith, and two are thrown at Bain.

(OC: attack rolls 11 +Acc 2, range -3 (7 yards from Vic) to -5 (12 yards from Bain), damage 1d-1+3 imp.)
(OC: rolled 10, 8, 13, 16, 9, 8, 14, 12 - potential hits on hireling x2 and Telrith x2. Roll active defenses, Telrith. Rolled and failed for Mihrimah.)

Mihrimah is again saved by Vic.

(OC: Vic parried both spears.)

The 2 striplings, now without a rock to sling, retreat as far back as they can manage, heading to the other door.

(OC: Move 5)

It is now Gathika's turn to act...

Telrith was waiting for attacks, and stops them both! (success on block, success on dodge with bonus from block... so the shield stops both spears, I believe. Also, that all out defense was worth it!)

[vicious Violence]

Vic parries missile both times (skill level 12, with a +2 size modifier for a yard long spear), rolling 10 (12 for success) on the first attack and 4 (10 for success) on the second spear (critical success) (sadly no special effect)

Keep your head down, Mihrimah!

[ajardoor]

(OC: Good job, Vic. Fixed. Telrith defends as well. It is now Gathika's turn.)

[PumpkinLorica]

Gathika is still concentrating to improve her casting, should her friends require healing owo

GREAT JOB COMRADE VIC, WE WANT TO SEE THEIR BLOOD! (´ཀ`)

[ajardoor]

(OC: A chilling declaration of bloodlust from the catgirl, good. Now, let's continue to the next one to act, Telrith and his elementals.)

[ericthered]

Telrith swings at the warrior in front of him, but misses.

Sullyfur makes an all out attack at a warrior near him, but that is blocked.

Ruby is dashing for the door, trying to beat the hobgoblins. Given an earth elemental's move of 4, it may be a futile attempt.

TURN 3

Mihrimah now acts, then Bain.

[Hide]

Bain commends the party, as he readies his attack…You are doing a great job, keep it up Riddle of Steel! Let us face the endless darkness together!

Mihrimah, it is all or nothing. Make them leave this world without a farewell!

Mihrimah attacks the orc warrior with her spear, going for the face. She attacks with a mighty +1, committed +2, telegraphic +2 attack (10+4-5) 8 and makes it, for a crippling injury!
Hide: 3D6 → 8(5 +1 +2)
The orc warrior fails to defend with (11+4) 16.
Hide: 3D6 → 16(5 +6 +5)
The orc is stabbed for 2+1*2 = 6 HP.
Hide: 1D6*→*2
Monster HT roll:
Hide: 3D6*→*13(2 +6 +5)
(10-5) 13.

Bain aims at the runner goblins and lets two arrows loose, both attacks land on target.
Don’t blink, you’ll miss the misery of your demise...

Attack 1
Fast-draw and ready: 14 (8, 12) successful.
Shooting 13 (DWA - TA vitals, acc, range, quick shooting: 13, 3, -2, -1)
Hide: 3D6 → 7(1 +3 +3)
Successful!
Damage 2d6+4 IMP *3 (2)
Hide: 2D6 → 2(1 +1)
Injury, 6*3 = 18 HP.

Enemy defense fails, the arrow comes from behind (just in case, dodge 7:8).
The first HT roll to avoid shock succeeds with a critical.
HT (10-5) 4.
The second HT roll to avoid collapse from being at very 0 HP or less fails.
HT (10) 14.

Attack 2
Fast-draw and ready: 14 (7, 7) successful.
Shooting 15 (DWA, acc, range, quick shooting: 15, 3, -2, -1)
Hide: 3D6 → 14(4 +4 +6)
Successful!
Damage 2d6+4 IMP *2 (2)
Hide: 2D6 → 5(4 +1)
Injury, 9*2 = 18 HP.

Enemy defense fails, the arrow comes from behind (just in case, dodge 7:8, yes it was also an 8).

The first HT (10) 12 fails, the monster is stunned, but it did not pass out due to injury (HT 10:7).
The elemental has a chance of catching him!

OOC: I believe that was the last orc warrior, if that is the case, Bain will tell his friends to prepare to advance.

[ajardoor]

The lightly injured hobgoblin warrior is knocked down and out by the shadow elf's spear thrust directly into his face.

(OC: By my count, there is one warrior left now, he's at 7 HP from a previous injury. Bain, do you mean to target the 2 striplings with your arrows? They have lower encumbrance, and Dodge 8 - they are also weaker overall. Not that matters, as fleeing enemies would have their back to you and thus get no defense.)

Bain's arrows score hits on both youngsters as they flee. They both fall down and out, too hurt to move anymore.

This enrages the last warrior. He slashes with great fury at Vic!

(OC: attack 13 -4 shock, 2d+1 cut + 1 follow-up from bleed, Reach 1. Rolled 8, potential hit. Vic, roll defense. Damage roll is 8 cutting before DR, then +1 from bleed follow-up if any penetrates DR.)
