Chapter 1: King's Festival - And so it begins...

[Rex]

Egon

Egon readies his axe and opens the door, ready to attack if need be.

[GreyWolfVT]

Room #15: ORC CHIEF’S THRONE ROOM

The door at the end of the north passage is made of stout, dark wood, and has a forbidding symbol etched in blood on it!

For those that can read/speak orcish the symbol means:

“great chieftain.”

Egon opens the door and sees:

This large room is dominated by a heavy wooden throne that stands on a raised area at the eastern end of the room. You can see doors on the north and south sides at the far end, and a heavy black wall hanging covers part of the north wall, with Orcish runes and symbols smeared in blood on it. By the throne stands a huge, battle-scarred orc, wielding a heavy mace. By his right side, behind a heavy table, stands a smaller orc, waving his hands and muttering something. Between you and the smaller orc stand other guards who will block your way if you try to get to their leader. They carry swords, and with their chief, they are going to do their best to bludgeon and slash you to death! Their red eyes glow with hatred as they advance upon you!

Actions?

[Dram]

Xlore- Trying to get to the the leader he swings at one of the guards missing.

L. Bow [1d20+2] = 2+2 = 4, Sm to hit[1d4+1] = 3+1 = 4=,Med[1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4=, lg[1d8+1] = 6+1 = 7

[shaidar]

Weston wants try and position himself so he can best use Color Spray on the orc guards.

[Rex]

Egon

Egon heads straight for the leader striking the first orc who tries to stop him.

Battle Axe [1d20+2] = 12+2 = 14 to hit [1d8+3] = 5+3 = 8 damage

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

The dark elf will follow after the others. Being careful, she will nock an arrow. When she has a clear shot, she will take it.

[Captain Kinkajou]

Elanriel

Elanriel sticks with Delsenora. Staying close, she determinedly moves forward to attack the advancing Orc guards, so as to keep them away from her friend. "Okay ugly chops, if you want to get to her, you're going to have to come through me!", she challenges the first one defiantly, before slashing at it with her blade.

Long Sword 1w fighting: [1d20+2] = 15+2 = 17 to hit, damage: [1d8+2] = 8+2 = 10

ooc: Finally! Yay!

[alver]

Urtesi moves towards the right side of the room to flank the guards and get to the spellcasting orc. If any of the guards intercepts him, he attacks.

shield punch (off hand): to hit [1d20-2] = 18-2 = 16, damage [1d3] = 2
long sword: to hit [1d20+1] = 3+1 = 4, damage [1d8] = 4

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

Taking quick aim, the drowess fires an arrow at the guard not being attacked by Elanriel.

[1d20] = 8 Short Bow shot at Orc

OOC : Most probably a miss.

[GreyWolfVT]

Talrand stays back out of the way unless he has a clear shot with a dart.

I'll put up a battle summary for Round 0 later after work today.

Actions for Round 1?

[Rex]

Egon

Egon attacks the Orc leader.

Battle Axe [1d20+2] = 6+2 = 8 to hit [1d8+3] = 7+3 = 10 damage

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

Del takes careful aim at Orc guard #4, firing off another arrow!

[1d20] = 11 1st arrow from Short Bow

OOC; Seeing as rd 1 is done I won't roll for her 2nd attack that rd, sorry bout that.

Then nocks another arrow and shoots again, hoping for a better result.

[1d20] = 1 2nd arrow

OOC : Yikes another bow breaks? How lucky is that LOL!

[Captain Kinkajou]

Elanriel

To Elanriel's surprise, the first Orc falls. She almost stops in astonishment and to wonder if perhaps she isn't completely useless after all, but is immediately interrupted by a shout of "Elanriel! To your right! Look out!" from Delsenora.

"Pay attention you idiot!" she tells herself, instinctively ducking, twisting sideways and bringing up her blade in a blind parry. Metal rings on metal and her parry deflects the strike away, then she counters with her off hand blade. ooc: I took the liberty of some poetic license to spice up my response a bit. I hope that's OK with everyone. The bog standard version is Elanriel attacks Orc Guard 3.

Long Sword 1w fighting: [1d20+2] = 17+2 = 19 to hit, damage: [1d8+2] = 3+2 = 5

Long Sword 1w fighting: [1d20+2] = 1+2 = 3 to hit, damage: [1d8+2] = 2+2 = 4

[GreyWolfVT]

Had to edit my post Urtesi did not get hit i forgot to factor his AC into the "math" Egon however is hit by the leader unless his ace is better than -2. Also anyone getting a natural 1 on to hit please roll a 1d100 for fumbles same with anyone rolling a natural 19 or 20 roll for critical hits.

[Captain Kinkajou]

Fumble roll for the 1 on my second attack, as requested. Good spot, by the way. I'd seen it was a crap total but not registered that I'd rolled a natural 1 until you said. Fumbling in unison was not quite what I was going for in terms of Elanriel and Delsenora sinking up our attacks!

Fumble [1d100] = 43

[Dram]

Xlore fire 2 shots at the leader.


1st shot
L. Bow [1d20+2] = 18+2 = 20, Sm to hit[1d4+1] = 3+1 = 4=,Med[1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4=, lg[1d8+1] = 6+1 = 7

2nd shot
L. Bow [1d20+2] = 11+2 = 13, Sm to hit[1d4+1] = 4+1 = 5=,Med[1d6+1] = 6+1 = 7=, lg[1d8+1] = 7+1 = 8

[alver]

Urtesi has no choice but to keep fighting Orc guard 1.

long sword: to hit [1d20+1] = 14+1 = 15, damage [1d8] = 3

shield punch (off hand): to hit [1d20-2] = 1-2 = -1, damage [1d3] = 1

"Get out of my way you stinking... orc!"

Fumble roll [1d100] = 83

[Captain Kinkajou]

ooc: Is it just me or is this round getting a bit silly? That's our 3rd fumble isn't it?!!

[Rex]

More like ugly than silly.
