Spoiler:

Actually Odunn delayed until no enemies adjacent or before guards turn, and 51ckle has yet to go. So I guess 51ckle then Odunn then guards. Dakketh took his death save already. I messed up the init order so Rubjo went before 51ckle. I'll correct it all next round.

51ckle!

PepiPopa

Spoiler:

OK i guess we're doing this.

As H1 hits 51ckle with his halberd a spike from the shield cuts the guard deep in the chest and he falls flat.

Spoiler:

Immediate Reaction Razor shield after being hit - Results 1d8+4: 8 [1d8=4]

As the guard drops and the halberd makes a loud sound on the ground the Warforged glows with power.

The guards begin to show fear as the minotaur and construct begin to rip through a few of their friends. Canderus and 51ckle find themselves as the targets of a few of the guards, though not all of them are able to overcome the shock of what they just saw and land the blows.

Canderus' attack left him wide open to strikes of retaliation, but even so the damage is minimal compared to what it could have been. 51ckle manages to deflect one bolt as another puts a dent in him, while the mage's magic missiles are easily avoided with a simple duck. Odunn is able to evade enough of the halberd coming down on him to only take the beating of the flat side, rather than suffer the razor edge.

They seem to think that Rubjo is unconcious despite his voicing a healing word for Dakketh, who starts to come around as the guard next to him and the mage are distracted by his allies.

Dakketh!

tzeentchling

Recovering thanks to Rubjo's chant, Dakketh sees the situation and decides he needs to break out his serious moves. He explodes into a flurry of action, one which the mage in particular is unable to avoid. The guard in front of him is only clipped, but it's enough to send him tumbling off the roof. Dakketh then quickly draws one of the healing potions in his belt sash and prepares to down it.

Spoiler:

51ckle!

PepiPopa

As HG1 swings his halberd towards his new found ally, 51ckle swings back at HG1.

Spoiler:

Warden's Fury - 1d20+8: 22 [1d20=14]
Damage - 1d10+5: 7 [1d10=2]

51ckle absorbs the blows and dodges the magic and looks around. He strikes at HG1 with a cackle.

Spoiler:

Rubjo will delay until after Canderus and Odunn.

Spoiler:

I really like going last.

Odunn\Canderus!

ArcSyn

As Dakketh forces the guard towards the edge, he grabs the edge of the roof just barely with his fingertips, saving himself from going completely over the edge.

Spoiler:

Falling rules (in case they come up again): Saving throw to prevent going over the edge. If you fail, then 1d10 damage per 10' you fall. Rooftops are 10' high.

Sorry, I keep forgetting that Tzeentch plays Canderus right now.

hippofant

Finally shaking off his shell shock from being blasted by lightning, Odunn's senses sharpen and fixate on those enemies firing their weapons at him from afar. Gritting his teeth, he decides to show them some real marksmanship.

Spoiler:

Move: Shift to E3
Standard: Biting Swarm vs AC on H3: 1d20+11 18 Hit! H3 dies.

Not too ninja, he saved by 1.

tzeentchling

Spoiler:

Am I still on Canderus? OK. By my calculations, HG1 will take 5 damage at the start of his turn and die, so I'll go after HG4.

Seeing the guard dangling from the rooftop, Canderus swings his axe at him in a murderus [sic] rage. His axe cleaves through the guard's armor, drawing blood.

Spoiler:

Standard: Howling Strike vs HG4:
1d20+11 27 vs AC - hit! 1d12+1d6+6 13 damage. HG4 at 22 HP and bloodied. I also roll like crap on d12s apparently.

Man, I totally didn't notice Vanguard weapons have the property of +1d8 damage on a charge, and it's not factored in to his Orokos sheet since he didn't equip it. That definitely would have changed last turn a bit.

No move or minor, I think.

Rubjo!

PepiPopa

Spoiler:

This is looking up. I like this.

Zombie Hero

Still lying in a pool of his own blood, Rubjo tries to gain his composure. His senses are dulled and his has only a vague idea of what is going on around him. Rubjo's strength fails him as he tries to stand up. He raises his shield over his head to try and gain protection from attacks.

Spoiler:

Standard Action: Total Defense

Saving Throw vs. Dazed: 1d20 1 FAILS!

Guards!

ArcSyn

The guard hanging onto the ledge is hit by Canderus savage blow and falls from the roof. Canderus swings his arms to knock the falling guard away from him so he doesn't land directly on him.

The guards begin to swing their halberds in a fury, at first missing 51ckle and Odunn with their sharp edges, but the third finds purchase in Canderus' hide, blood spilling out and staining the ground.

The mage now focuses onto Dakketh, clutching his chest but reaching out with his hand. Suddenly a bolt of magical energy leaps from the mage and strikes Dakketh in the face, almost knocking him off the roof and nearly knocking him out!

Rubjo feels the world come into focus, seeing the guards numbers dwindling and his friends fighting fiercely, he is inspired to get up and join the battle once again!

HG4 - FAIL climb - Fall to H4 - 6 dmg - prone

Canderus!

Spoiler:

Zombie Hero, I hope you don't mind but I'm pulling a DM ruling that you've been disabled long enough and Rubjo has been inspired by his companions will to fight to shake off the daze and get back on his feet! Didn't think the dice would be so cruel to you. That may end up (but is not yet) being a house rule, that status effects only last 3 rounds. It's just kinda ridiculous if they go much longer since most battles don't seem to last more than 5 rounds unless they are especially tough.

PepiPopa

Spoiler:

Good rule. Being disabled for the whole fight is sucky.

tzeentchling

Spoiler:

Should we just start from the top with this initiative block? Canderus attacked just before the guards went last round. I don't mind swinging for him again though

ArcSyn

Spoiler:

That was my fault last time for messing up the init order. He is supposed to go first. But if you'd rather have everyone else go first just delay him. That's fine. I just wanted to get the init order right.

tzeentchling

Spoiler:

Well, OK then.

Canderus rushes the guard in front of him, tossing his horns to throw the man off balance before striking, but his blade catches only air.

Spoiler:

Standard: Pressing Strike vs HG4: Shift through HG4 to square H3 before hitting to add +1d6 damage.
1d20+9 12 vs AC - miss! Would have killed him too on a hit.
No move or minor.

Dakketh barely manages to hold on to consciousness as the mage's blast hits him. With a grimace on his face, he slips towards the mage. Forgoing his usual acrobatics, he settles for a straight jab at the mage's face. The mage drops to his knees, swaying crazily. Like a certain soccer player, Dakketh sends the mage off the other edge of the roof with a vicious boot to the chest, hearing a sickening crunch when the mage's body hits the ground. Suddenly aware that he's a wide-open target in the open, Dakketh drops prone on the side of the roof away from the other guards and their crossbows.

Spoiler:

Move: Shift H7.
Standard: Crane's Wings vs M:
1d20+7 14 vs Fort - hit! 1d10+5 10 damage puts him at 1 HP.

51ckle!

PepiPopa

After a moment of careful calculation 51ckle executes what seems to be a perfect routine practiced hundreds of times.He uses Nature's wrath marking HG4 again then shifting to F2 his hammer turning to heavy stone and striking at HG2 hitting the ground beneath his target shattering the stone.

Zombie Hero

Finally aware of his surroundings and able to stand on his feet, Rubjo feels invigorated. Barely able to see through the blood running down his face, he sees a human guard isolated from his friends. With a goblin rage that surprises himself, Rubjo leaps at the human, slicing him across the jugular. The human's blood sprays all over the already blood soaked goblin, who is now unable to tell whose blood is whose.

ArcSyn

The guard behind 51ckle attempts to strike him from behind, but 51ckle's too quick to be fooled by that. He swings around and catches the guard's halberd with an expert parry, deflecting it harmlessly off the side. Though in doing so, he opens himself up for the prone guard behind him, who catches him by the leg with his own halberd, bringing him down to the ground before striking him again with the weapon.

Canderus!

tzeentchling

Noticing that the guard in front of him did not get up, Canderus takes advantage. A quick stomp drops the guard's defenses long enough for the minotaur to land a solid headsman's chop, killing the guard. Canderus then moves through the fountain in order to get a clearer line of sight to the last guard in case his fellow gladiatiors cannot deal with him.

Spoiler:

Standard: Pressing Strike vs HG4, moving to H4-G4 to get +1d6:
1d20+11 30 vs AC - hit! 1d12+6+1d6 13 damage, HG4 dies.

Dakketh, breathing heavily, rolls over and surveys the battlefield. Seeing only one guard left, he draws a shuriken and flings it at the guard. It bounces off his faceguard and draws a line of blood across one cheek.

51ckle bloodied and battered gets up slowly from his position clearly irritated by the guards and dusts off the shield by smacking it with his warhammer a few times. He again swings his warhammer at the guards chest trying to finish this however his attack misses the guard again hitting his halberd.

ArcSyn

As the last guard drops to his knees as the poison takes its toll on his body, he reaches behind him and grabs a short, fat cylindrical object. Pulling the cord, a bright spark is sent straight into the sky before it bursts overhead in a small shower of sparks.

His eyes then roll back into his head as it hits the ground, the cylinder rolling out of his hands.

That's when you feel the ground rumble. Just slightly, the ground shook. Then it shakes again. It shakes steadily in rhythm, each beat getting stronger until you start to hear what sounds like heavy footsteps. It isn't long before you see a large warforged soldier appear at the other end of the square. It comes to a stop and looks at the group as it slowly pulls a large scimitar from it's sheath. It points the scimitar towards the group and bellows a mighty mechanical shout!

As the last guard falls, Dakketh sits up and exhales heavily, regaining some of his lost strength. His rooftop rest is spoiled as it begins to shake and vibrate in time with the steps of the giant warforged. Sighing, Dakketh clambers to his feet and gets ready to fight again.

Canderus:
Seeing a mighty foe before him, Canderus's spirits rise. Here was a true test of his might! Circling around to its rear, Canderus sees a weak spot. Pressing in, his greataxe severs one of the cables from the warforged's legs, spraying hot oil everywhere. It's not the blood Canderus seeks, but it will have to do.
