Into the Hool

[Rex]

Zan
Drinks some mud?

Nearly spit coffee on my screen.

Just following the lead of the some of the great unconscious posts from Rex.

I seem to have a lot of these lately.

[Monsieur Rose]

Cassius

"Dammit!" He exclaims as he watches Zan drop. "Now I'll have to carry that damn box." The blade-wielding archer moves to assist Fahima with L11.

Longsword 1 +1/+4 vs undead (17): [1d20+4]=6+4=10
Longsword 1 Damage (sm): [1d8+8]=5+8=13 (L): [1d12+8]=3+8=11

Longsword 2 (17): [1d20+1]=19+1=20
Longsword 2 Damage (sm): [1d8+7]=3+7=10 (L): [1d12+7]=3+7=10

If L11 falls, he moves to engage L6.

Sucking Mud!

While Zan is sucking mud, his companions are doing all they can to whittle down the wild-eyed lizard men.
On the side of the hill, Gordansk praises the man's ability, while threshing air with his scythe!
L1 hisses at the man...and then promptly returns the favor with a spear stab to his gut!
The man cries out in agony and tries to staunch the wound with one hand while slashing wildly at L1 with his sword.

The swampy ground below the hill is being churned to mud as well, as the companions and lizard men clash.
L5 hisses and comes at Vilana, dropping to one knee and driving a foot of its spear in the Elven ranger's chest! She makes a startled gasp and then falls face first into the mud and blood.
L6 grabs Zan by one of his legs and begins to drag the young Elf back through the swamp!
L7 engages Roan, swiping its spear at the Dwarf who doesn't get out of the way in time and receives a cut across his shoulder.
Roan reacts by smashing the creature in the chest with his mace, sending the lizard man staggering backward with a look of shock and pain upon its reptilian face!
L11 tries to stab the Halfling, but she is too nimble and too quick...and she jumps over its jabbing stick!
After leaping and avoiding the lizard man's spear, Fahima slashes at its gut with her scimitar...missing by inches.
Cassius is suddenly at her side, cursing about carrying a box or something, and he is a whirling dervish of steel! His first attack misses the lizard man, but his second disembowels it and it falls, twitching in death.
Seeing his companion being dragged away to be eaten later, Sai fires two arrows at L6, dropping the lizard man with perfect shots to its head and chest!

And speaking of eating, L14 has ripped into the dead bugbear, gorging itself on the creature's deep red flesh.

Fahima

Nice rhyme, well done!

Fahima moves to attack L5.

Scimitar [1d20]=18 to hit [1d8]=6 damage

[Spearmint]

Gordansk

using a previous attack macro, another failure. He encourages the man, "Tis but a flesh wound brother. Now stand up and fight like s man. Make your mother proud!"

[gurusql]

Zan

Zan gets a slightly different view of the swamp after being moved by the lizard man. Does he like this view better? I doubt it is still wet and muddy and he is unconscious.

The view is no better since he's being dragged on his face

[Monsieur Rose]

Cassius

The Elf knows he can't be distracted by the fallen Vilana, so he keeps his eyes on the target: L5.

Longsword 1 +1/+4 vs undead (17): [1d20+4]=6+4=10

2nd attack with blade 1:
Longsword 1 +1/+4 vs undead (17): [1d20+4]=5+4=9

Sai

Seeing two of his companions down he moves towards them trying to stay away from the remaining lizard men.

If I can get to the closest.

Cure Moderate Wounds.
[1d10]=9 Cure Moderate Wounds +4 for Level = 13 back.

If I can get to the closest.

Looking at the map, Valina is definitely closer, however, L5 is standing over her.
Zan is further away, but he is currently not covered by a lizard man. If you hurry to him, there a 50% chance L5 will cut you off.
But...there's a 50% chance L5 turns and attacks Cassius and Fahima.

[GreyWolfVT]

Roar issues out a war cry that part way through turned to a belch, either way he gets a mean scowling grim look and acts as if it was all planned he tries to rush the lizardman and end him with his mace.

Footman’s mace +1 [1d20+2]=19+2=21 to hit, [1d6+3]=4+3=7 s/m dmg or [1d6+2]=6+2=8 lrg dmg

Lizard Man Down!

"Tis but a flesh wound brother. Now stand up and fight like s man. Make your mother proud!"
This from Gordansk who is doing his best scything the...erm...fledgling blades of grass sprouting from the muddy hill. The man glances at him like he's crazy as L1 drives its spear deep into the man's gut yet again!
The man wobbles, blood spewing from the wound, his flesh turning a lighter shade of pale. He counters with a sword cut, but L1 blocks it with the bloody spear. It hisses and clacks its teeth in anticipation of the kill!
Sensing it is about to be flanked, L5 growls and charges toward Fahima and Cassius. leaving Sai a clear path to his wounded companions.
In its haste heightened by bloodlust, L5 stumbles and fumbles and nearly falls down as it tries to skewer Fahima with its spear.
Fahima easily dodges it and responds with a deadly slash of her scimitar, opening the stomach of lizard man! Grasping its stomach in an attempt to hold in its entrails, L5 is completely defenseless when Cassius steps up, blades whirling, and hacks its head nearly off its neck!
Nearby, L7 jabs at Roan, but doesn't even get close...allowing the Dwarf to end the lizard man with a crushing blow to its head, in an explosion of brains and gore! Roan throws back his head and tries to roar...but it sounds more like a loud belch. No matter, he sent his foe back to the mud.
Only one lizard man remains, L14 (not counting the three sleeping ones), and it pauses long enough in its feasting on the bugbear to grab a handful of flesh and turn and run!

Sai makes it to Vilana's side and implores divine healing for her.
Her eyes flutter and she gasps as she sits up, breathing hard, trying to focus on all that is going on around her. "What...where...did we win?"

Gordansk

using my rolled macro's, I think he will miss again this round but strike the next.

The priest would stay in the melee, attacking but failing and trying to encourage the man about to be quartered apart, he declares.

"The cavalry are coming. They will avenge you."

a quote that stuck in my mind after watching Bone Tomahawk.

[hedgeknight]

"The cavalry are coming. They will avenge you."

Funny as shit!
I already have his reply rummaging around in my head.

[Rex]

Fahima

Fahima runs up the hill path to help Gor, attacking L1.

Scimitar [1d20]=2 to hit [1d8]=1 damage

Impressive.

[gurusql]

Zan

Zan continues to remain calm and focusing on the inside of his eyelids, or at least that what he is dreaming he is focusing on.

Unconscious.

[GreyWolfVT]

Roan doesn't bother giving chase to the fleeing lizardman. But any left alive still fighting he will help with. Otherwise it's just the sleeping ones he won't do anything until the group makes a decision about them.

vs L1 Footman’s mace +1 [1d20+2]=2+2=4 to hit, [1d6+3]=6+3=9 s/m dmg or [1d6+2]=3+2=5 lrg dmg

Cassius

With no more standing enemies before him, Cassius moves to make sure Zan isn't drowning in the mud. Eventually, his ears hear the sounds of fighting nearby and he makes his way towards Gordansk.

Here Cometh the Calvary!

"The cavalry are coming. They will avenge you."
Gordansk shouts at his companion in the fight against the lone lizard man. The man tries to look around, while holding his guts in, and shrieks, "The calvary my ass! We're all alone up here!"
He then turns aside the spear of L1 and returns a weakened attack, slashing the air in front of the creature; both look as if they are ready to drop any minute. "Instead of...encouraging words, why don't you hit the bastard!"

Hearing the shrieks from above, Fahima hits the hill running, coming up the side of it, slipping and sliding all the way. (She'll be able to attack next round).
Zan is dreaming of suckling at his mother's breast...or is it some village girl's breast? No matter, he's suckling when Cassius turns him over. Sai arrives right behind the archer and wipes the mud off Zan's face, fishing it out of his mouth so he can breathe. As Sai begins to call for divine healing, Cassius heads toward the fighting on the hill. (He'll be there next round, unless he wants to fling arrows.)

Watching the fleeing lizard man (L14), Roan decides not to give chase. Instead, he makes his way to the sleeping ones and waits to see what the others want to do with them.

Gordansk

This being the six round since he encountered the Lizardmen and here the sixth macro of those multiple attacks posted, the previous five all missed.

Gordansk: melee with Scythe: [1d20]=19 damage [2d4]=6

Amazed to still be alive and in a flourish of dramatic scything sweep, he attacks the lizardman.

"Ah! The cavalry cometh! Did I not prophesy so!" he declares as Fahima crests the ridge.
