The-Last-Rogue's Dungeon Master |
Your worst fears are realized as the cornstalks explode outward as a shambling, skeletal scarecrow lunges towards the group; its wooden hands end in filthy pointed tips,and its eyes burn with an eerie, luminescent orange light from under the brim of its wide and tattered hat.
Chalen & Bobek make a Will Save DC 12; Failure means you are unable to take actions but defense for you are fascinated by the creature before you
Someone give me initiative; The scarecrow is 25 feet from Bobek and Chalen, 45 ft from everyone else. It goes on an 11
Chalen |
Chalen’s initial shock quickly turns to enthrallment as the scarecrow advances (Natural 1). A thin line of spittle runs down the side of his mouth before some of the initial fear creeps back in, and he manages to throw his crossbow up before him as a crude ward.
Oso Legumbe |
Initiative rolls to save time. I think Louinor and Bobek have different initiatives to those listed. I have used what I think is right but perhaps you guys can check your stats and make sure your initiatives are on the ball.
Chalen 11+6=17
Bobek 15+2=17
Louinor 8+5=13
Oso 11+2=13
Malleon 9+3=12

Eh, you're right Oso. I must have changed my Dex stat without updating the initiative. I fixed it.
Bobek stumbles back in a daze, unable to take his eyes off the creature. "What an incredible beast! He'd be truly fearsome, if he only had a brain..." Bobek pulls out his shortbow as he retreats backwards.
Malleon Harper |
"Damn it!" Malleon swears as Oso blocks any potential bowshots by rushing in. I'm starting to hate this place and its weirdness. Maybe I should have stayed somewhere with human bandits to start making my name...
"Die fiend! Die"
Malleon rushes in, dropping his bow and drawing his sword.
I hit a 20, but only for 4 pts
The-Last-Rogue's Dungeon Master |
Oso steps forward and unleashes a mighty swing that whistles harmlessly past the monstrosity. Malleon uses Oso's attack as a diversion and plants his sword deep into the odd creature's gut. Wood and stuffing pour out, but it seems not to register any pain.
The beast does take note of Malleon however and smashes out at him with a wooden, clawed hand. 1d20+6 = 15. The beast just misses.
Chalen and Bobek, I made a mistake. You can take no actions as you are afraid/fascinated by this beast. Chalen you did not cast resistance. Sorry
Restart initiative
Louinor |
Louinor jumps back as the scarecrow lurches out of the dead corn field, "Hey!! Curse this dreadful day, now a bloody scarecrow." She grabs her morningstar and shield and levels a swing at the bizarre creature and misses it's head by nearly a foot. "F~*$ I hate this day." she screams.
Attack 5
Oso Legumbe |
Missed that. No wonder the razorcrows are laughing at the scarecrow if it's that minor. Oso is attempting to set up a flank.
Oso swings for the creature's neck, moving to one side as he goes.
Attack roll 12+5=17, Damage roll 8+3=11.
Malleon Harper |
As the creature stumbles, Malleon takes a quick step to mirror Oso's movement and flank it.
Then, taking his longsword in both hands, he delivers a mighty overhand chop.
"Caiden Cailean's name, fall already!"
I hit a 16 armor class with the flank bonus, for 10 points of damage
Oso Legumbe |
Oso swings high aiming for the creature's neck and shoulders.
"Watch the grass for more of them," shouts the paranoid barbarian.
Attack roll 10+3=13, damage 4+2=6, (last round he only did 10 points of damage)
The-Last-Rogue's Dungeon Master |
The beast turns its attention and its claws to Oso. It lunges forward slamming its wooden claws down in a wide arc. 1d20+6=11 The claws connect solidly but are unable to push past Oso's armor and Oso escapes unscathed.
Going on your last posted actions
Louinor rushes forward and lays a healing hand on Malleon; Malleon stirs to conciousnessI am going to house rule that it takes 1 round to regain your wits, so no action this round.
Oso bellows in rage and delivers another telling blow nearly severing the odd creature's legs in 1/2. The beast is beaten, tattered, and ambling at an odd angle, but it still presses on.
1d20+6=10. Oso's fighting ability proves to keen. With a few deft swats of his weapon he manages to fend off the scarecrow's talons.
Louinor, Ose, Malleon, and then the baddie
Oso Legumbe |
Red eyes, flashing and a wild roar as Oso brings the sword up from the ground in a savage circle finishing just above Louinor. Whether or not Louinor has saved us, the sword goes through the strawman.
Attack roll 16+5=21, Damage 3+5=8
"Die!"
The-Last-Rogue |
Hey guys, the enemy has fallen. Unfortunately (for the game, not me) I will be on a cruise for the next week. Sorry for the late notice, I kept meaning to mention it, but forgot. I will divvy XP and move on after then. I hope to post again before christmas. I wish you and yours a happy holiday, good gaming, and, of course, health.
Louinor |
Oso grins at Louinor. He clasps one of the girl's shoulder and nods grateful for her help.
"Well done," he adds simply.
"I finally hit something, maybe the day is looking up." She walks over to the downed scarecrow and gives it two swift kicks for good measure.
"Is everyone OK?"Oso Legumbe |
Oso points at Malleon, "he is hurt."
The wounds on Oso's arms have reopened showing that he too is much weaker than he behaves.
The black warrior goes back on guard, he takes out a whetstone and works at a few nicks in his sword.

This kills me guys, because I loved this PBP . . . I imagine you guys would be great in a tablegame . . .but due to real life I probably should just cancel this PBP.
Nothing serious, I have just been insanely busy. I apologize because this has been a great game, and I really loved the gusto that people played their characters with.
Anyways, I will see you guys in the chats and on the boards I am sure, but I just wanted to apologize because I hate ending a quality game.
Thanks,
Matt

I am very sorry. Oso was one of my favourite PCs on the boards (and off) but I understand Last Rogue. Its just a shame.
For players who want another game?
Let me know on the discussion thread.
