Kelvin guides Estrella to the next ghoul, "good girl, lets get'em" and swings the dogslicer, wounding the ghoul.
Round Two Partial
Kelvin moves up and strikes the third Ghoul.
Garrath spares the horse from his crushing weight as he becomes Enlarged and goes and attacks a couple of Ghouls that look a lot like a Scarecrow.
The second one is killed...again by this now over-sized Greatsword. Garrath misses the third one.
Elektra is likely doing something really cool or maybe just waiting to let all her buffs on the fighters finish off the threat.
Stone runs up and the radiance of Sarenrae plus Kelvin's strike will finish off the third Ghoul and nearly takes care of the fourth one too.
But the fourth one survives and runs up and attempts to bite Stone, but Stone's armor was way too hard for its teeth to penetrate..
Brandark spurs Abacus on and kills of a Ghoul.
Round Three
Brandark seeing a ghoul head over towards Stone and Kelvin, pries his last ghoul off his lance, seats it, and then charges the last standing ghoul.
Mods: BAB, STR, Knights Charge, Higher Ground, Power
Mods: STR, Power x2
Brandark does spur Abacus on and kills the last Ghoul in this immediate area.
Victory
As they are fighting on horseback mostly, Kelvin looks to Brandark to lead. "After you Master Dwarf."
Brandark stands in his stirrups to look over the fields.
I think we should be looking at heading towards the farmhouse and barn, so in that I think west it is
As they start to head out, he rescabbards the lance, and continues to observe for bad things, and regains the lead for Suzie.
As you move West you come across crossroads.
Enie, Meanie, Minie, Mo
Brandark continues to ride along the trail that leads mostly south.
Elektra will preserve her power for later use
As the party moves further to the south, you come upon yet another crossroads. This time four Scarecrows are arranged near the road, three to the West and one to the East.
Brandark stops and looks at the others with a grin.
Shall I play bait again
With that, he rides near the group of 3, fully expecting them to jump at him.
Two of the four Scarecrows jump off their posts.
Round One
Seeing another round of scarecrows Elektra starts to summon some help.
If a undead scarecrow approaches, Kelvin swings at it, otherwise he rides up to the nearest one and swings. "Be dead again, and stay dead!"
Garrath grins a feral grin and strides towards one of the ghouls, and chops down on the undead creature with his greatsword.
BAB+STR+Power Attack + Furious Focus + EnlargeAC 15 due to Enlarge
The first Ghoul attacks the bait called Brandark.
The two remaining Scarecrows on their posts, jump off freeing themselves from its splintery confines.
Round One Start
The Enlarged Garrath moves up and murders a Ghoul. How do you murder something that is already dead? OK! Garrath moves up and takes the un-life away from a Ghoul.
Elektra begins to Summon in some help.
With one scarecrow dead again, the remaining one Ghoul attacks the Dwarf Cavalier. The two remaining scarecrows come alive and remove themselves from their posts.
Stone and Brandark ready an attack.
Brandark draws his axe as the second one comes towards him.
Ho Abacus, lets step all over this one. As ghoul guts splatter all over him and Abacus from Garraths strike.
Then abacus starts stepping and biting at the ghoul that got close.
Garrath sees his friends in trouble and lets out a bellow of rage, and the frenzy of the rage overtakes him, and he moves towards the ghouls, striking at the first one to come across his path.
BAB 5 + STR 6 + Power Attack -2 + Furious Focus 2 + Reckless Abandon 2 + Masterwork 1
Damage: STR 6 + Power Attack 6 + two hand 3(for 1.5 str bonus)
Current AC 11 -2 reckless abandon -1 for enlarge -2 for rage
Commanding her ponies to attack.
Pony1
Pony2
Pony3
Elektra will stay in the middle of her friends and casts enlarge person on stone.
As a herd of Celestial Ponies appears, the Ghoul confused by all this horse flesh, attacks one of the Ponies. When the Ghoul is finished, one of the Ponies phases out to the consternation of the Ghoul. All he wanted to do is feed.
Brandark rides beside the last ghoul.
Then Abacus attempts to step on the ghoul as well.
Round Two
Garrath slaughters another Ghoul. This time cutting it in half.
Elektra's herd of Ponies were not very effective in a fight. But at least they absorbed some of the damage as the last remaining Ghoul sends one of the Celestial Ponies phasing back to its plane of existence.
Stone readies a crossbow.
Though Brandark's attack missed, Abacus stomps the unlife out of the last Ghoul.
Save your power lady Elektra, I think we may need it later.
Brandark stands in the stirrups to see what he can see, while wiping the goo off of himself.
Well, south is as good a direction as any.
The farm road comes to a "T".
I have been looking for the farm house at every junction, but have not seen it. Shall we go right ?
As you near another junction, you see a lone scarecrow on a post.
Beyond you see a farmhouse and large "L" shaped barn.
Garrath, would you do the honours
Brandark waves his hand at the scarecrow.
The Scarecrow mumbles and strains against the bindings holding it to the post.
Garrath starts to raise his greatsword to cleave the ghoul in two, but stops as he hears mumbles, and looks back to Stone, "Is mumbling normal for ghouls?"
He readies a blow to chop the thing in half if it breaks free of its bonds. "Maybe this one isn't undead? Or undead yet?
Kelvin keeps his dogslicer out and ready, but watches Garrath as he is about to cleave he scarecrow till it starts mumbling. Seeing Stone move up, Kelvin keeps an eye out for other scarecrows moving.
Stone will determine that Garrath's suspiscion about the Scarecrow is correct. This is not a Ghoul, but a living Human severely weakened by Ghoul Fever.
Brandark keeps an eye out for other things moving.
I wonder how many others have been infected, and how many we can save ?
It is a man bound and gagged. He is nearly dead, unable to stand on his own. Unfortunately, it appears that Stone's attempt to remove the disease on the man failed.
"My wife Lettie is around here somewhere," the man barely has the strength to even utter these few words.
