Re: The Dawnflower Library
Elwood eyes wide briefly "Undead, damn. I s'pose we best go see if they need help. Uh might we be able ta leave tha injured guards with you?" he hazards asking before heading off in whatever direction the others went to face off against ghouls.

Re: The Dawnflower Library
The young acolyte ushers Elwood and Tuga to the back door and shows them the cemetery and the mausoleum in the distance. "They are in there!" the acolyte says, pointing. The pair head in that direction as fast as they can through the winding pathways among the markers and headstones of the dead. They reach the door of the mausoleum, a large, eerily beautiful edifice filled with dappled light and shadows...and within those shadows they spy two vicious creatures about to descend a set of stairs just across from the ones they entered on. The Ghouls turn at their approach, snarling hungrily, and move to attack!
Initiative and Actions for Elwood and Tuga!
Deeper in...
Initiative Order: Khawla (22), Alle (17), Gurkan (13), Ghouls (12)
Khawla doesn't say a word. She simply charges, scimitar glowing in the darkness, and cuts a deep gash in the chest of one of the ghouls (G2). The Ghoul screeches and pounces upon the priestess with tooth and claw! (Roll 2 Fort Saves!)
"Don't let touch you!" Alle warns too late, sending a force missile into the opposite Ghoul.
The creature howls and comes forward, only to meet Gurkan's hammer with its face! It staggers back and then charges the barbarian, and with a might swing, Gurkan cuts it nearly in half!
Actions!

worried about the cave to his back Gurkan tries to hold his position

Re: The Dawnflower Library
Ghouls and Guts!
Initiative Order: Khawla (22), Alle (17), Gurkan (13), Ghouls (12)
Khawla shrugs off the paralytic effects of the ghoul's attack, swiping at the creature with her scimitar. While Alle hesitates, Gurkan does not. Gripping his sword with both hands, the warrior rushes to Khawla's side and literally cuts the ghoul in half! Black, stinking gore flies through the air, leaving the ghoul in two pieces and the warrior weakened for the effort!
Back in the entrance hall...
Initiative Order: Ghouls (22), Elwood (17), Tuga (3)
The two creatures from the grave rush the pair of companions, biting and slashing with tooth and talon! Elwood staggers back from the assault, firing his crossbow point blank and clipping his foe in the shoulder. Tuga is slashed and bitten as well, disrupting the cantrip he was about to cast.
The pair find themselves in dire straits as their muscles being to lock up from the paralytic effects of the ghouls' touch!
(Need 2 FORT saves for both of you!)

Re: The Dawnflower Library
Holy cripes. I didn't know they were that close...I would have gone sword vs crossbow in that case.
Elwood if able to will drop his crossbow and switch over to his Falcata probably the easier to draw since the other is a slightly larger sword
wasn't sure if you meant two fort checks each or total between Tuga and Elwood 1 each
Fortitude [1d20+5]=7+5=12
Fortitude [1d20+5]=11+5=16
Falcata [1d20+4]=3+4=7 to hit, [1d8+4]=6+4=10 dmg

Re: The Dawnflower Library
Gurkan
his heart pumping with adrenaline tries to get his wits about him, calls to Khawla
lets move back to the neck of the cave, this looks like a death trap
he tries to listen for movement down the caves

Re: The Dawnflower Library
Up Close and Personal with Ghouls!
Initiative Order: Ghouls (22), Elwood (17), Tuga (3)
Due to the shadows, Elwood was unprepared when one of the ghouls charged him and clawed him up! Staggering back, he reaches for his falcata as the ghoul claws and bites at him. Luckily, this time his armor deflects the creature's talons and teeth! Elwood slashes at the ghoul, but is unable to hit it.
Beside him, Tuga is also bleeding and as he reaches for his halberd, his ghoul foe attacks again! Filthy talons claw at Tuga's neck and shoulder as the ghoul rips into the flesh of his arm with its jagged teeth! (Need another FORT save for Tuga!)
If Tuga beats a DC 15, he can attack with his halberd.
Deeper in...
Gurkan suggests falling back and Khawla agrees, stating they are in a choke point and need to regroup in the crypt. Both are attentive, listening for any other sounds in the mausoleum. They hear nothing...but Allean's sharp ears catches the sounds of fighting and growling coming from somewhere behind them...back where they came from!
Actions!
The last map is fairly the same except for Gurkan/Khawla/Allean falling back to the rubble entrance at the crypt.
Stats:
Alle - AC 17, 14/14
Elwood - AC 17, 10/22

Re: The Dawnflower Library
Tuga gets injured but keeps from slumping.
Fort save [1d20+5]=12+5=17
Tuga looks around quickly for the best place to attack from with his Halberd.
Not seeing anything his strikes and critically hits:
stratagem [1d20+7]=1+7=8 Glaive[1d20+5]=12+5=17 Dmg [1d8]=7
So 25 to hit and 14 points of damage.
