No. Neither are engaged in a melee. And they won't be running past any undead (I think).

The undead at that end of the lichway are currently focused on Mouser and Rudolf.

Bo was trying to stay "behind" Ingrid, as stated in my action.

He was hoping to get off a healing spell on Jerome this round, while the others were doing their turning.

Can he be positioned there instead, in hopes to get the spell off before being attacked? Or wont that matter much in this case?

Of course. Sorry I missed that part. Will fix it in my next DM post.
Nice rolling on the healing! (and on those Turn Undeads, Scott and Urson!) Great timing.

You ain't kidding!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Hi everyone,

Too true! Some great rolling for you guys this round. :)

You're still not dead yet. Just wanted to offer encouragement and a small DM hint: Please read my latest DM post twice. And think about it for a bit before you reply. :)

Talk among yourselves in the OOC thread. Brainstorm. IC questions to me are always welcome!

Good luck! I'm rooting for you all. :)

Also, in keeping with the Lovecraft genre, I tend to play up the doom and gloom a little, IC. :D

Hi wolfpack,
Brevos is already through:
Inferno wrote:
wolfpack wrote:Brevos chops away as he tries to bull through using his shield
Bulling his way through, and attacking, sounds like a charge: movement with an attack at the end. You only get one of those every 10 rounds, fyi.

I'll say that Telkis and Brevos advance alongside the wall, close to it so they are only exposed on one side. They are currently in the worst situation; surrounded. At least the others have a battle line and one front (for now).

Good luck, everybody.
Inferno wrote: Surrounded, Brevos and Telkis have no choice but to make a desperate mad charge through the endless legions of living dead!

Shields up and heads down, they race along the wall through the countless undead that labor tirelessly to devour them alive! Miraculously, they survive the gauntlet of the damned and burst out of the teeming horde behind the line barely held by Mouser and Rudolf!...

There is an organ that was mentioned. We haven't done anything with that.
On November 2nd I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible.

I like that thought. Granted, Ingrid is at the other end and has to get through all the undead to escape, while some characters could just bolt and try to save themselves. Harm is less likely to befall her, Bo, or Jerome if playing the organ turns out to be a bad idea.

I looked through the player notes and clues, but all I could figure is that there are supposedly between 11 and 18 other horrible gods down here.

Maybe the organ is dedicated to one of the other ones and playing it will release some entity that doesn't get along with the Predator Pontifex? Then they fight and WE WIN. :) Or get chewed up like we’re in a food processor. :) Just a thought.

We didn’t find any sheet music in that first room, did we? Or see some lying around? I can’t imagine mashing on the keys is the right thing to do... Maybe there’s some on the organ?

Anyway, can anybody play? Telkis’s fingers are too stubby.
