Chapter 4: Into the Fire

[Pulpatoon]

Linos rounds on Orc3. To Hit [1d20] = 1 Damage [2d4] = 4

Oh dear. Fumble roll: [1d100] = 78

Is Odderick making any progress with the netting? If so, he will continue doing so. If not, he will quickly apologize, grab his halberd, and rush to combat.

===========================================
Dungeon Master Response:

I will let you all know when Gus & Trindon are free of the net.
Since Combat is like in 'Bullet-Time', if you will, it will seem to take long!
See, there was a die roll to determine the length of time, & i took a round off due to being near the edge, even though
the Orcs draped some extra length along the edges to account for that!

I put Linos Action in the Segment 3 post above on page 3!

[MonkeyWrench]

Boc nocks another arrow and surveys the area, if he has a clear shot on any orcs then he will fire again.

Boc Maxima Longbow To Hit: [1d20] = 15, Damage: [1d6] = 5

==================================================
Dungeon Master Response:

Ok, this will be Boc's Round 1: Segment 4 action, which will be a deadly hit on the Orc #5, i believe!

[MonkeyWrench]

Durgan, seeing that the fight is still at the main lines and none have crossed into his area, decides to take the fight to them and rushes in, spear at the ready. Stabbing at the first orc he makes contact with.

================================================
This roll happened after Durgan meets up with Orc in Segment 4:
To Hit: [1d20] = 1, Spear Damage: [1d6] = 3(S-M) [1d8] = 1(L)

This action for Segment 6:
To Hit: [1d20] = 9, Spear Damage: [1d6] = 2(S-M) [1d8] = 6(L)

========================================================
Dungeon Master Response:
Ok, Durgan will Rush to the Orc #8, in Round 1 Segment 3 & then the two attack rolls occurs in Segment 4 & 5.

[PyroArrow]

Gus & Trindon: Still under netting.
Gus: The other Elves in the group are stunned and amazed at the profane words Gus strings together from various languages. He even taunts the Orcs in Orcish while helpless and trapped under the net.
"Why couldn't I dream about a f***ing net!?", he adds.

Odderick: Helping Trindon out of net.

Karick & Radac: Standing at the ready with maces!

Orcs #1, #2, #3, #5 & #8 now down!

Ok, Now ready for player actions for Round 1: Segment 5!
Just need to see where Luna will decide to cast the Sleep Spell once we see who or where he centers the spell!

[Nordbo]

Luna specifically aims the sleep spell at orcs only, trying very hard not to affect any team members. If the orcs are too spread out, Luna will select the nearest group with "highest orc density" (if I've understood latest location updates correctly this perhaps means orc #7 and #9 ? and ideally some more ?)

[Nordbo]

After the spell is sleep spell cast/completed, Luna's plan is to pull out his quarter staff ready for any further combat

[PyroArrow]

Ok, if Luna cast at Orcs #7 & #9 it will also affect Clem.
Luna could also try aiming at Orcs #4 & #6 but would also affect Rondoel & Durgan.

Those are your choices & just hope Player characters make their saving throws!

Whomever or where ever you center the Sleep spell on it will affect 4-16 (4d4) Level/Hit Dice 1 creatures in a 30 feet diameter up to 31 feet away from the caster,
so actually a lot more folks could be falling asleep here!

You can wait to cast after you see Clem try to hit one of the Orcs or cast the spell right away.

[Pulpatoon]

Linos, morningstar: To Hit [1d20] = 15 Damage [2d4] = 4

Odderick, still on the net.

============================
Dungeon Master Response:
Ok, your actions are noted for Round 1: Segment 5 posted above!

[Dizlexus]

Clem

Brother Niminis steps up to the plate and swings:
: Attack [1d20] = 17 Damage [1d6+1] = 1+1 = 2

Give that pain to #9 please (he hit clem!)

=============================================
Dungeon Master Response:
Actions noted for Round 1 Segment 5!

[Dizlexus]

Gus

The other Elves in the group are stunned and amazed at the profane words Gus strings together from various languages. He even taunts the Goblins in Goblinish while helpless and trapped under the net.
Why couldn't I dream about a f***ing net!?, he adds.

=============================================
Dungeon Master Response:
Actions noted for Round 1 Segment 5!

[PyroArrow]

Round 1: Segment 6 will begin after we find out the results of Luna's Sleep Spell!

Orcs #4, #6, #7 & #9 are left standing!

Player Map #2 of Orcs Battle

[Nordbo]

Luna fires off the sleep spell at Orcs #7 & #9 (hoping Clem can shrug it off)

[Pulpatoon]

Linos looks positively elated as he turns to Orc4. To Hit [1d20] = 11 Damage [2d4] = 6

[GreyWolfVT]

Strombrow keeps after orc 6 but drops his sword like a squire that never touched a sword before.

Long Sword Attack: [1d20+1] = 1+1 = 2, damage [1d8+3] = 8+3 = 11

[imswayze]

Garbonzo sees Stormbrow go down. He almost decides to go and help his fallen leader, but notices that Brother Clem has just taken to some injuries, and is about to be triple-teamed!! He immediately drops his bow, grabs the long sword. (shield too if possible, but not if it will take him extra time to get to the battle), and begins yelling and lumbering toward the orc(s) that have wounded Clem. His sword is cocked and ready for a vicious attack! He will most likely go after Orc #6 if he moves on to attack Clem. Otherwise, Orc #7 will be his target.


Attack: [1d20+3] = 15+3 = 18

Damage: [1d8+5] = 3+5 = 8

Garbonzo is Long Sword Specialized, and I am referring to 2nd edition for those bonus values. Not sure which rule set you want us to use for specialization.

[imswayze]

Trindon does what he can to get free of the net. He almost considers lighting the whole thin ablaze; but laughs at the thought of his charred remains, as he continues to cut his way out. Any way he could just crawl the heck out of it? He is pretty close to the edge of the net.

[PyroArrow]

Luna's Sleep Spell is going to affect: [4d4] = 12 Level/HD 1 beings!
The area to be affected is a 30 feet diameter circle of Orc #7.
There is No Saving Throws for this spell.
Luna knows that to wake someone up from this spell, you have to slap them around to get them up!
Elves are 90% resistant to the spell (Gus), Half-Elves are 30% resistant (Clem, Luna Cee).

Gus resisted the sleep spell! [1d100] = 13%

Clem is affected by the sleep spell! [1d100] = 92%

Rondoel is unaffected by the sleep spell! [1d100] = 11%

All of those that fell asleep are: Orcs #4, #6, #7, #9, Linos, Clem, Boc, Durgan, Garbonzo & Karick.

With the result of this, we will now move to Round 1: Segment 6

[PyroArrow]

Round 1: Segment 6:

Linos: is asleep.

Stormbrow: is laying unconscious! Dreaming that he is still fighting Orcs though fumbling his weapon in the process!

Orc #4: is asleep.
Orc #6: is asleep.

Clem: is asleep, dreaming of Puppies!
Orc #7: is asleep.
Orc #9: is asleep.

Gus & Trindon: Still under netting.
Gus: feels a wave of sudden sleepiness overcome him momentarily but manages to shake it off!


Odderick: Helping Trindon out of net, & sees Luna talking but hears nothing & goes "What?" He then continues to roll up the netting.

Garbonzo: is asleep.

Luna: Luna: "Wow! Well - nothing ventured, twice shy. Radac, help me cut/slice the throats of the sleeping orcs. Odderick, please first give us a hand finishing off the sleeping orcs; Trindon too if he's free now.
Rondoel and Tenebaum: cover us while slicing - and keep a special eye on where the orcs came from. When we've killed off all snoozing orcs, we'll free Trindon and Gus, then form a ring round our sleeping mates while figuring out how to revive them. Does that sound OK ?"

Luna realizes that he could not hear himself speak!

Father Tenebaum: Casts his Scroll Spell!

Rondoel: Moves towards Orcs #4 & #6, says something to Luna however Luna does not hear him.

Boc: is asleep.

Durgan: is asleep.

Karick: is asleep.

Radac: Moves towards Orcs #4 & #6.

All of those that fell asleep are: Orcs #4, #6, #7, #9, Linos, Clem, Boc, Durgan, Garbonzo & Karick.
All of those still standing are: Gus, Radac, Luna, Odderick, Tenebaum, Trindon & Rondoel.

Ok, Round 1: Segment 6 is now Done!

[Nordbo]

Luna was told to state his action, but also no players were to post anything yet (?) so GM please delete this post if wrongly posted

Luna: "Wow! Well - nothing ventured, twice shy. Radac, help me cut/slice the throats of the sleeping orcs. Odderick, please first give us a hand finishing off the sleeping orcs; Trindon too if he's free now.
Rondoel and Tenebaum: cover us while slicing - and keep a special eye on where the orcs came from. When we've killed off all snoozing orcs, we'll free Trindon and Gus, then form a ring round our sleeping mates while figuring out how to revive them. Does that sound OK ?"

Luna uses his dagger to slice the throat of the nearest orc, then the next etc


=========================================================
Dungeon Master Response:

Above Actions noted. The throat slice can occur next segment.
