Reflex to stay standing:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 (Sweet!)Brask looks at the fighter in front of him, and laughs.
"Why are ye so glum? Dwarves need ta go ta battle wit' a song on their lips!"Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I'm assuming that Brask still has his axe in hand.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8Even though he misses, Brask begins singing a cheery tune.
A ring o' an axe, an' tha twang o' a bow
Did sound one misty morn'
An' all I coul' see was the face o' a lass
So pretty was she tha' me heart was torn.
Perform (sing) if needed: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17...figures
All I can say is LOL

Let no one accuse me of meta-playing! On the other hand, Hon just confirmed his suspicions. Why, he might even break out in song himself!
Need me some bagpipes

The bad fighter shifts, and the thief switches to an urgosh and mans the front line. The gnome charges to hit brask with his lance and his war dog goes for a bite. The fighter and thief go for Ninni. The wizard tries to cast a spell, takes two shots from Neji's wand, and the spell is ruined as it is cast.
Ninni dodges all shots at her, but Brask is hit with a charging lance and a skeletal war dog bite for 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) + 5 = 12
Fighter then thief 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 111d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Gnome then dog 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
CON 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
The undead bannerman rushes into the side room to hit Hon with his flail of human skulls for 6 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 171d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Khazad:
Huh. I didn't count any banner bonuses throughout the two fights :(
Eh. Live and learn, I hope. Of course, if the undead dwarves get bonuses from thier banner, hopefully I have removed that advantage by distance or by removal of skeletorbannerman.
This type of combat does not favor Hon; yet here he is 2:1, isolated and 2 hp. Not a very glorious way to go in his opinion. He would prefer something a wee bit risky(PvE) vs combat.
Hon Semparatus |
Oh I am just complaining cuz thats what Hon does. This ain't the playa hatin'. Now granted, Hon will learn from this and his tactics will better blend with the team as we evolve. I suspect he will have a few more Sneaky but stupid tricks up his sleeve. Perhaps he'll survive, perhaps not.
As a player, I am making note of Chainmail's style. I am adjusting Hon's learning curve accordingly. And I am still having fun.

This battle with undead turned out to be tough matchup for Hon (and to some extent Ninni who couldn't use stunning fist). The damage resistant skeletons were annoying for everyone but Neji. For the group as a whole this was harder than the first encounter, but the result was much better for the dwarf team.
I figured Kragg would rather take flanked hits than have them hit Hon.

Since we were taking a 12hr break, do we want to divide the spoils of war now or wait till we have cleared the entire complex?
How are we dividing loot anyways? Who ever needs it and can use it lays claim to the items or do we find the value of the item and take that out of our share?
Khazad Grimglaive |
I'd like a half-plate please, and ideally also an MW Waraxe, but that's lower priority. Do the helms grant any benefit at all?
After the fight I should have been at 18/25 HP. If I remember right, resting restores 1HP/level + Con mod, which should make me 22/25. I have two CLW potions, perhaps one of them should be given to a lower HP/AC character.
I can also stand watch instead of Thograt to let him prepare spells at leisure.
Thograt Ironheart |
I dont think anyone uses an ugrosh except you Kragg so go ahead. Everyone should look through the loot and take anything appropriate for you character. Gear should go to the character that can make he best use of it so that it benefits the party as a whole. Post what you take here.
2 suits of dwarven half plate
suit of gnome half plate
2 tower shields
two mwork dwarven axes
mwork urgosh (Kragg)
mwork quarterstaff
mwork small lance
mwork dwarven breastplate
mwork dwarven studded leather armor
2 dwarven full helms with visor
2 gnome full helms with visor
One homemade heavy flail of skulls

Kragg yes, half plate is probably not for him--but Khazad is the polearm fighter with a 10 DEX. Talk about perfect for half plate. I think he posted he wanted it earlier. The visored helmets should be worn with half plate or there would be penalties. Khazad is now at 23/25 (no natural healing due to evil aura).
I assume that gear not claimed is left in the anteroom unless someone specifically states they are carrying it.
Kragg Stoneheart |
Correct, I will not be taking the half-plate. Eventually I will upgrade to MW breastplate but that is going to be a bit I figure with all the other people wanting armor as well. I am happy with my armor and weapon for the moment.
Hon Semparatus |
Criminy! I spent two days hemming and hawing deciding finally on Fast Stealth vs LedgeWalker for rogue talent. The good of party vs character development And here I am, Fast Stealth useless and a perfect opp for ledgewalker. I am laughing at the irony. And no I don't want to change now.

Kragg was the last holdout of the wearing snowsuits indoors fashion. He stuffs his snowsuit in his pack like the rest.
As soon as we are away from the bonfire and it gets cold again the suit is going back on. Kragg is more pratical than fashionable.
Hon Semparatus |
How the heck did I double post? Post monster ate one today, but able to cut, paste and repost. Thank you MS Word. My PC-Hon doc is several pages long now. But how/why two posts?
Methinks my life is gonna get frenzied very shortly. Or rather my life is gonna get shorted very frenziedly.*Cough* Jump *Cough cough*
How did I end up on the pointy end again?

I tend to surprise the party with the power of the banner as it levels up. One ability is a double strength channeling of positive energy once per day. I think you need this to manifest, so I am having the power chose to manifest itself based on need rather than wait.
The unholy flame is countered by positive energy--I think this needed to happen too.
