And the 12 pts of damage no save does indeed make for a crispy Hon.
Feel like a pinball or a burnt up and forgotten tatertot.

Kragg Stoneheart |
Thanks Thograt. Are the new skeletons burning as well?
With a surge of power, Kragg feels the burns from the skeletons fade away into nothing more than a dull ache. Moving in to the fight once more, Kragg approaches the skeletal warrior and tries to protect the flank of the noble bannerman Big Mug. Hoping to draw some of the attention away from the injured dwarf, Kragg attacks with a 2-handed blow hopin to shatter the bones of the skeleton. He keeps himself prepared for the inevitable retaliation. Unfortunately not enough power was behind the blow to fell the skeletal warrior.

Brask moves up 20 feet to E10, while trying to dodge the skeleton at G8.
He swings his hammer at s5

Hon Semparatus |
A prone Hon merely gives off whisps of vapor as bits of crispy flesh flake off. His gear and parts of a pressure trap propping up the last plate G4. It looks safe.
As situation currently stands, there may be some miscomms regarding Hon's location. Unless the range of effect and associated heat damage did not extend to G5, then Hon would be in a much healthier postition to take action. I'll be happy to retcon upon confirmation.
Hon Semparatus |
To all:
I'll assume that my efforts at disabling the plate were successful, otherwise a reflex action will likely be needed.
Feeling the heat and a sense of impending doom, Hon discards his thieves tools alongside the propped pressure plate. He draws his warhammer and turns around with a mighty and near desparate swing at SW on Plate G6.

The effects are similar to a stinking cloud effect DC14 Fortitude save for everyone in the area. As soon as this save is failed -- only move actions can be taken until leaving the area.
The hardy racial abiity gives dwarves +2 vs spell like effects and +2 vs poisons - for this cloud consider the two +2s to stack for a +4.

The cloud is equivalent to a fog cloud and reduces vision.
All creatures have concealment (20% miss chance) at five feet and a 50% miss chance beyond five feet.

Hon's Fort save
Catching his breath before being engulfed by the thickening cloud, he catches a whiff and his stomach takes a little twist. Holding his breath and his breakfast, he holds his own against his obscured adversary.
Thograt Ironheart |
What was Thograt's actions this round? I know he healed me the previous round that is why Kragg stepped up to attack the SW. Just wondering as I did not see his or Khazad's.
Fort save1d20+6+4
I thought my action was healing you...now I'm waiting for my turn to come around when I will use the specail channel that Chainmail has offered.
have I missed a turn Chainmail?
Chainmail |
No, Thograt healed Brask. Was waiting to see if you wanted to substitute the empowered channel for the heal of Brask or wait to use it next round. A 2d6 heal for everyone seems much better than a 1d6 heal, so I wanted that option on the table for you. I think you healed Brask unaware the banner power was there.
Either way, the use of your healing spell will stop the unholy flames, so it is up to you. Invoking you diety though spell or channeling postive power stops all unholy flame in this room. By the way Ninni was automatically stabilized from the massive fire damage.
Khazad Grimglaive |
Fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Khazad manages to hold his lunch inside. He can now barely see the silhouette of the skeleton leader. He drops the near-useless glaive and draws a big sturdy axe, striking the wounded skeleton in front of him.
concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 35
Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Back when we were dividing loot, I asked for a dwarven axe (I assume it's this kind of axe?), and I think no one else claimed it. Can I assume Khazad has it?

Seeing one more skeleton on the other side of Magnum and Ninni, unmoving on the stone floor, Hon tightens his warhammer grip with visions of heroics before being overcome by a lung-wracking coughing fit. Eyes watering from shame and stinking cloud, He retreats back 20'(G1?) where the fog is thin enough to catch his breath.

Furious at having missed two times in a row and reveling in the newfound power of his magical waraxe, Khazad makes a series of quick disorienting strikes aimed at the big skeleton's arms, before following up with a powerful overhead blow aiming directly for its strange helm:

Round 5
Catching his breath in the corner of the room, while the reek still clings to his clothes with wispy mingles at the magical boundry, Hon stands once again ready to do battle with the remaining Skeletal Warrior that stands between him and Ninni. Once again, grabbing a lungful of not-so-pleasant air, he moves to I5 with an under cutting swing at the very obvious but obscured kneecaps.

He is close to falling when Ninni puts two magic missiles in him from the wand 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6 finishing him off and he falls in a pile of splintered bones.
Magnum slams at the single skeleton with two quick hammer blows none of them hit due to the mist.
Skeletons retaliate on Magnum/Kragg
Both attacks miss. Kragg is saved by the luck of Stonecrusher from a nasty swipe of a two handed sword.

Big boy down and the rest to follow. Nice shot Khazad. Finish this one off as well Khazad. Kragg laughs as only a dwarf can with a weapon in hand and foes falling before good dwarven steel.

Having freed the blade of his axe from the skeleton leader's skull, Khazad made a wild jump to the right to protect Big Mug against one of the remaining skeletons. 5ft step C8-B8. He used the inertia of the jump to deliver a wicked sideways blow to the skeleton's ribcage.

Magnum looks down at a huge two handed sword cut in his side.
"I think it is time to hunker down in the front room again and heal up. We have plenty of time left."
Kragg Stoneheart |
Kragg takes a look at the rest of his companions, most of them seem to be bleeding, choking on gas or unconscious. Again it seems like he escaped the worst of the punishment. After a quick thanks to the dwarven gods, he grabs Ninni and carries her over to Thograt outside of the cloud. I don't know about spending the night, but let's get the others up an goin before any decisions are made. Its Thograt's and Brask's decision anyways. They're the ones leadin. I listen ta them. If they say we stop, then we stop. If not thean I will keep going on as long as I can or until they say stop.
Who is this human that thinks that he can make decisions. It just aint right. He don't know how to follow his superiors orders. One of these days he may get into trouble and find there isn't anyone to save his sorry a$$. Especially me.
Chainmail |
The smoke dissipates and at the end of the long chamber where the bonfire used to burn the entire 15' left side of the wide passageway descends in a set of well constructed stone stairs. The right side has a five foot stone wall that extends for the right 15'.
The acrid smoke slowly settles over the battlefield of shattered skeletons and armor. Another suit of half plate on the leader and four suits of chainmail on the larger skeletons are human-sized. The death of the leader of the skeletons seems to lift much of the chill from the place.
