07. Attack of the Scaly Things

[onlyme]

Ewell, clearly frustrated with his efforts to overcome the stinch so far, realizes he needs to put some sort of extra effort to hit these things. He appears to have done just that.
longsword to hit (+3 str bonus): [1d20+3] = 20+3 = 23 , damage1d8 (+4 str bonus): [1d8+4 ] = 5+4 = 9
so, nat 20 and damage of 5+1=6, or is that max+1=9?

Secondary tohit roll for crits: [1d20] = 11


edit to add I just saw your post-need to see if this still works.

[Alethan]

Ah, no worries.

Will switch to ranged attack, then, firing a sheaf arrow at a3.

Assuming my attack roll stands? They have the same bonuses...

Damage, Sheaf Arrow [1d8] = 7

(just as deadly with the bow...)

[saalaria]

No worries DM - happened to be on the laptop at the time

Kaltar rushes up to the man just as the trogs leave.

"Well met fellow warrior. I must say you demonstrated some remarkable skill there, besting that many enemies by yourself. Myself, I am merely a humble servant of the Lord but I am quickly gaining some prowess in the martial arts." Kaltar's adrenaline is rushing again....he catches himself, slowly becoming aware he is gabbling to a man probably recovering from combat.

"My name is Kaltar, who might you be?"

[dmw71]

Ewell, clearly frustrated with his efforts to overcome the stench so far, and secretly chastizing the beasts for their cowardly decision to turn and run, lands a perfectly placed shot (+20xp) and drops the fleeing trodlodyte he and Strom had been battling.

Whether or not Alordan hits (Theora misses), Gwilt fires off a sheaf arrow at the escaping swamp beast causing it to also fall dead.

South of the stream, at the first sign of his enemies fleeing, the olive-skinned warrior arcs his curved blade high above his head and swings wildly at the first escapee (a5), and the second (l2) manages to escape without further damage as well. The adrenaline-filled fighter begins to let loose a roar is loud and long as his steel until he hears a voice behind him: "My name is Kaltar, who might you be?"

+143xp each (unmodified)

After dropping the fleeing troglodyte, Gwillt quickly looks around for other targets. He notes Ewell finally drops the one he and Strom had been fighting and sees two flee to the west. He watches them for a moment to see exactly where they go with their hasty departure, but does not follow. Confident he should be able to track them once everyone is ready to move out, he instead looks to the wounded and dead to see if anyone can be saved or needs any kind of aid to slow or stop bleeding.

Finally, he examines the bodies of the trogs he struck with arrows to see if he can recover them for re-use.

Recover Arrow (Hit) - 1%-25%=success [1d100] = 55
Recover Arrow (Hit) - 1%-25%=success [1d100] = 83

Finding both arrow shafts splintered and unusable, he does take a moment to recover the arrow heads for later use.

(Updated inventory with two sheaf arrow heads recovered.)

He glances around to see if he can find the arrow that missed its target...

Recover Arrow (Miss) - 1%-50%=success [1d100] = 85

... but quickly gives up.

(visual reference)


The enraged bezerker, slices wide as the scaly humanoid ducks and turns to flee. His sword striking nothing but air, he turns and snatches the other fallen lizards spear and turns to make a mighty throw at the cowardly vermin only to see a mace wielding human run up to him. He swings the spear and pushes the humans mace to the side as his blood lust fades. Dropping the spear to hold an olive hand over his bleeding wound where the lizards teeth dug deep, he staggers back and points his scimitar at the man.

"The lizards teeth did their work well. Will you be finishin what it started? "

[saalaria]

Suprised that he wasn't heard the first time and perceiving the olive man believes him a foe, Kaltar repeats his question but uncertainly:
"Err my name is Kaltar. We were fighting the same enemy - look" he sweeps his arm around to the north indicating his friends and the rest of the battle.
"You didn't notice us fighting?" Kaltar allows his confusion to remain plain on his face

[Stonjuz]

Trying to gather arrows (2 miss/2 hit)
retrieve hit 25 [1d100] = 89
retrieve hit 25 [1d100] = 40
retrieve miss [1d100] = 75
"Hey!, I found one!"
retrieve miss [1d100] = 24

Suprised that he wasn't heard the first time and perceiving the olive man believes him a foe, Kaltar repeats his question but uncertainly:
"Err my name is Kaltar. We were fighting the same enemy - look" he sweeps his arm around to the north indicating his friends and the rest of the battle.
"You didn't notice us fighting?" Kaltar allows his confusion to remain plain on his face

The olive skinned mans breathing becomes less excited as he eyes the activities to the north then he eyes the path of the departing lizards and lowers his steel.
"Men'r not always content with my company. Fighting same foe or no.
He knods to the human and sheaths his sword over his back.
"Grimnail. he huffs indicating his self.
I have a bag with bandages near yonder house. I need ta fetch it.
He stands straight still gripping his wound.
Then after we can have words if you will.
He turns toward the southern building, eyeing the cleric over his shoulder as he starts away.

[wolfpack]

Epsilon quickly moves to tend all of the fallen trying to stabalize any he can.

[Stonjuz]

The halfling, arrow above head, turns proudly to the others, only to notice some are engaged in conversation with the strange creature. He quickly retreats back to the road, and then towards the Dragon. He whispers, "What is it?"

[Nuke66]

Garth watches the fleeing trogs, content with their retreat. "Thanks guys."

[saalaria]

"well met Grimnail" Kaltar follows the man to the house, stowing his mace in his belt.
"I think we should check the bodies of the Lizards for clues as to their reasons for attacking this town. Will you permit me to start with these ones you have despatched?"

[onlyme]

Ewell sees the party looking for arrows and meeting the strange looking, obviously uncivilized man south of the action. But, he figures that there will be time for that later. He turns toward Theora instead, very impressed with her survival skills.
"Miss, I am humbly sorry I could not defeat these things soon enough to save your brothers. If there is anything I can do to ease your pain, please ask it. With that, he will help collect the honorable local dead, so they are not left to rot with the evil trogs.

[tooleychris]

Gimnail pulls his pack from the ledge of the building and removes some guaze for his wounds.

hey DM, not sure you told me how much damage the critical bite against grimnail was for but Grimnail will attempt first aid by class feature.

"Lizards attack for only one of two reasons." he grunts poking at his wounds.
"Theyz hungry or deez farmers been wanderin too close to der lands. But do wit dem what yous wants. I care not."

[saalaria]

Kaltar will pray over the farmers corpses, to send their souls on their way and then search the bodies of the trods in this southern area.

[Computer +1]

Strom sees Ewell strike the killing blow to the trog they faced and checks his own swing. He cleans and sheathes his sword and begins to look around for survivors and the wounded. His own wounds sting and burn as he walks the area checking in on the fallen.

He is annoyed at how the smell managed to sap the greater part of his strength but he quietly gives a prayer of thanks to his God for seeing him through safely.

He walks over to join Kaltar and the stranger he is addressing.

Well done Kaltar, you fought well.

This was the 5 points of damage I told you about before I actually the actual update in the game.

I'll point out the 'Signature' page where I will track the main character information in a single place.

I've been meaning to do this for a while, and had a short bit of time during a lunch break to throw it together (but not enough time for an action post -- tonight), but I'll start publicly tracking hit points (like I do experience points), here: Hit Points.

Of course, this doesn't excuse players from tracking their own health but, in the event of a discrepancy, what I show on this page will be *the* total unless you're able to prove me otherwise.

[tooleychris]

Oops, you sure did. Guess I'm more like to remember rewards over damage. Go figure!

Grimnail discovers he is out of healing supplies and the bandage he pulled out of his bag is dirty and useless.
"Luthic curse me and scratch me!" He spits out like vile and tosses his dirty bag to the ground in disgust. He then circles angrily still holding his wound and looks to the north where the fallen townsfolk are likely to be wearing cloth good enough for bandages.

[tooleychris]

Grim notices Strom arriving near Kaltar and hesitates.
"If you well met Grimnail for true, mayhaps yous sell him some clean rags to bind his hurt, eh?"
He fishes in his belt pouch and produces some coin.
" Grimnail pays. You gots?"
