"Sounds like a running purse of gold to me. Betta' save this berk, see what jink he has to offer in gratitude, eh?" Kragnir immediately set off in the direction Balani went, jogging steadily at his slow, heavily armored pace with hammer hefted over his shoulder.
Kragnir bellowed in happiness as a bigger foe appeared. His wild grin only widened further as Nim's oversized primate actually left him some room to go to work. His hammer slammed into one of the tentacles with a heavy overhead swing, splatting it on the ground.
Grumbling bitterly about "the menagerie" in his path, Kragnir was about to join the fray himself when Nim's oversized monkey effectively walled him off from the melee. He moved in to swing his hammer in the gap left between Nim and his pet, with the pillar obscuring his swing. The difficulties of the strike seemed to matter little as his hammer unerringly caved the (smaller) monkey's ribs in as Kragnir shattered its form.
Rushing into the grounds with a potion in hand and his hammer hefted over his shoulder, Kragnir downed it and grew to a size that matched the great ape beside him. Tossing the glass vial aside, Kragnir's suddenly free palm gripped his gigantic hammer alongside the other as he hefted his long weapon in two incredibly strong hands.
Aye, give Balani a bit of time and she'll soon have a detailed map prepared for us.
Sounds good. Deflection is a preferred form of AC anyway.
Kragnir is updated. Haven't claimed treasure in a long while; any chance I could have the amulet of natural armour? No interest in anything else and Kragnir's AC could really use the +1.
If Kragnir was concerned by the warnings sent his way, he showed little sign of it. He hefted his hammer high and attempted to crush the object in much the same manner as he stoved in the necromancer's skull.
Weakened almost to the point of being unable to stand, Kragnir moved to the edge of the new melee and swung his hammer with far less of his usual vigor...
I hadn't included the +2 bonus from the helmet (purely because I wasn't aware of it) or accounted for the staggering effect. No harm no foul. As for adjacency, i'm more than 5 feet away from one of its squares with clear line to it. Not an issue AFAIK
Stepping to the side to give himself room to swing, Kragnir aimed right for the undead's head and caved it in with a brutal swing- the heavy head of his hammer crushing bone and flesh as though crafted and blessed by Torag himself.
Kragnir let out a beastly roar as he leveled his spiked helmet and rammed the troll, seeking to break the bottleneck with brute strength.
With the spike of his helmet embedded into the giant's dead thigh on impact, the Dwarf's impact had all the subtlety of a battering ram, combined with a sickening crunch akin to a bull taming gone horribly, horribly wrong. The doorway was now clear.
Kragnir took a firm step backwards and hefted his hammer into blows of blistering speed combined with incredible strength, the stranger's familiar spell invigorating his efforts.
Bah, no sense of duty calling you on Nim? Where there's Undead, there's trouble. No sense letting those following behind us stumble into it, eh. Anyway, those corpses probably had jink in life. Hammer hefted, Kragnir happily plodded into the cave.
Kragnir had been uncharacteristically morose after the fight. Fully expecting to lie down his life, he had summoned reserves of strength and courage he barely knew existed and although Balani's arrow had finished the shadow off, he knew it was truly his contribution that had led to its demise. He had not known that Tragershen and Corbrius had been slain until after the fight. As a mercenary, he had witnessed death many times; but it was usually a stranger or acquaintance, or at the most a temporary battle brother after a few weeks on the same job. Tragershen and Corbrius' deaths had both saddened and shaken him; and sunk him into a state of melancholy from which he had not yet emerged. His stoneplate armour had begun to dirty as he had suddenly stopped cleaning it after that particular battle. Eyeing the mage on his fancy mount, Kragnir had his arms folded initially, but shrugged as he relaxed somewhat at the man's words. Makes no difference ter' me. They took me an' Balani on as strangers, don't see a reason not ter' extend ye' the same courtesy eh Mihai? Fair warnin' though- a magi's life expectancy in th' band seems ter' be a short one.
By my count it should be dead already
Knew you were all just dead weight :P. Throw some damn holy water already!
With no way to strike at the demon this close to him with his hammer and barely able to stand, Kragnir staggered backwards, swatting at the shape with his hammer to keep it from attacking him as he once again made space to fight.
AOO:
Definitely did some real damage and i've landed two damaging hits before too. By my reckoning Kragnir has dealt 50 points of damage, but don't think anyone else has landed any.
20 produced.
Kragnir's blood boiled and a rage grew in him as the creature so callously attempted to fly past him, disregarding the threat he and his hammer posed. With a colossal horizontal swing, Kragnir's magical hammer hit the demon with more force than the strong Dwarf had ever mustered before in his life, even the demon's incorporeal nature not giving the blow pause.
Singed and spitting blood, the stoneplate clad Dwarf honestly had no idea what Mihai was babbling about, but it didn't really matter. With greater caution now, the Dwarf got to his feet, hefting his hammer and acting as an impressively large barrier between the fleeing priest and the demon. The taunts he had been bellowing were now replaced with a grim focus. The last of the Argak line would not flee before this foe. Kragnir might be a mercenary, but that did not preclude him from a code of honor. He called out over his shoulder. Balani... git' out of here. Live... and consider my debt paid. You too Nim.
As the creature attempted to escape him, Kragnir swept his hammer into the thing's form once more. Round 6 Action- Kragnir half taunted and half warned his allies. He moved back towards the tents, hammer and helm both ready for the attack he perceived as likely coming from below.
Moving to a distance of 15 feet from the shadowy form, the stout Dwarf hefted his enlarged hammer and made a massive overhead swing seeking to crush the thing in one powerful blow.
Evidence a Wizard should always include himself in his spells :)
Invigorated by the healing provided by Mihai and now the size of a giant, Kragnir only seemed singed by the fireball; and in his battle-roused state was fairly oblivious to the plight of his allies.
With a hearty smile at Mihai for the healing, Kragnir produced a potion of Enlarge Person and drank it, swelling in size and hefting his hammer as he waited for the new threat.
Spitting blood, Kragnir caved in the ape's knees, forcing it down, before swinging his hammer in a vicious vertical arc; aiming to snap its neck with the brutal blow.
If anything, Kragnir's own blood-crazed grin only widened as it seemed the ape had a lot of fight in it. Assuming he could survive its attack in his smallclothes, Kragnir was more than ready for a brutal exchange.
Shaking off the fear-inducing effect of the roar, Kragnir held his ground with all the stubbornness he was rapidly becoming renowned for in Sargava. Yer not so durn scary, ye overgrown chimp... the warrior muttered. Without his incredibly heavy, stone armor to ground him, Kragnir's powerful hammer swing threatened to bowl him over, garbed as he was only in his smallclothes. His hammer crashed into the ape's ribs with a satisfying sound.
Posting from iPad so no formatting sorry. Looks like only a move action for Kragnir, leaving a standard to attack? Is K in a threatened square? If not; trip attack using reach weapon for no AOO.
Kragnir will do his best to move towards any perceived foe.
Kragnir rose and reached for his hammer.
