Chapter #5: Adventure #5 The Hermit's Riddle

[Cwreando]

Abrex

Abrex swings at the Butal as it seems to start to float upward swings at it and says, "Don't make it float too high. A fall will not kill it. A magical blade or special made blade can only harm it. Just keep it off the ground so I can strike while it's defenseless."

Not sure how you play this if its auto hit or not and especially if it's under levitation and possibly defenseless?

Longsword+1 Thac0 (17) To Hit [1d20+2] = 5+2 = 7, Dmg SM [1d8+4] = 2+4 = 6, Dmg Lg [1d12+4] = 2+4 = 6

Abrex adds,"Fate has smiled on us. It seems there are only 3 of the foul beasts to deal with."

[Monsieur Rose]

Dubb

Dubb calls out to Asad. "Here! Use this to smash with." Dubb hands his enchanted shield to Asad.

[Scott308]

Benham Iskandar

Knowing his staff will do no damage even if it manages to make contact, the mage continues to press his attack in an attempt to distract the hyenas.

Quarterstaff attack (19): [1d20] = 1; Damage: [1d6] = 2

[ravenn4544]

Asad grins evilly as he takes up the shield. "Feel my might, now, foul beast!"

He bashes the closest were-thing that he can:

To hit (17) [1d20] = 17 +1 str=18

OOC: not sure what shield damage would be so here are some rolls. Does not include +3 str damage and +1 for shield

[1d4] = 3
[1d6] = 1
[1d8] = 4

The werehyena with no known name is floating up in the sky and cannot be hit this next round until it is lowered within reach. So i removed it from the map.

Asad cackles with glee at his combat success "Ah HA!! Fate favors me! Who would ever doubt it?!!" And continues his bludgeoning assault on the were-beast.

To Hit (+1 weap special /+1 str) (17): [1d20+2] = 7+2 = 9
shield damage [1d6+4] = 3+4 = 7

[Storm11]

Jamal smiles gleefully and turns to enter the cave in his mission to find the hermit.

Before he does he calls Focus your attacks on the remaining two for now. We can all surround the third once it’s on its own.

He then enters the cave carefully, with the invisible Alara above him.

[Bluehorse]

Will Emma's spell give her a 3rd round of controling the sand?

[Monsieur Rose]

Dubb

Dubb moves forward to tend to the wounds of Anuzal. He places his hand on Anuzal's shoulder and whispers a soft prayer. When done, Dubb pats him on the rear and says "Now go get em!"

Cast cure light wounds on Anuzal: [1d8] = 2

Uses the last few moments of her spell to try to blind their opponents, sending a torrent of sand into the eyes of each of them.

[Cwreando]

Abrex

Abrex says, "Keep it up folks."

Abrex swings at Butul again.

Longsword+1 Thac0 (17) To Hit [1d20+2] = 6+2 = 8, Dmg SM [1d8+4] = 7+4 = 11, Dmg Lg [1d12+4] = 7+4 = 11

Abrex grunts in frustration.

[GreyWolfVT]

leaving time for Zeromancer to post if he has any actions for Ameer.

[Zeromancer]

Ameer continued to watch the battle. He appeared somewhat disheartened by the current situation. Under normal circumstances, his contribution to such a melee would be extremely limited, but now, he was utterly ineffectual. Having mulled over the situation, he simply drew his short blade and positioned himself behind the front line, feinting and bobbing about to provide a visual distraction for their foes.

[GreyWolfVT]

Knowing he can't actually do anything in combat with the werehyenas until Jafar eventually shows up with his spell, Benham decides to investigate the cave (3) in hopes of finding something- anything- to aid them in their current battle.

[Bluehorse]
