Turn 16 - Them claws are connected to the ....

[Initiative order: Bamoin, Knok, Atak, Beast, thak, Siggni, Kaligula]

Bamoin grabs a rope from his pack, lowering it down into the hole he yells at the mage " grab the rope, get out of there."

Next to him, Bamoin hears the sounds of knok as he launches two arrows almost simultaenously towards the beast. the first flies wide, but the seconds hits with a thud. The creature roards in response.

Atak pays little heed to the Thief as he steps backwards putting Thak between him and the monster. Then with a concentrated effort he mutters the words of magic. 3 energy balls shoot from his palm into the monster in quick succession, elicting more roars of pain and anger.

The beast closes quickly, as it moves from the half light into the torch light you can see its an Umberhulkd, its claws, the size of Thak's torso look meancingly sharp as they slash through the air and swipe a chunk from the half orc [Thak takes 10 damage]

Thak in response Roars in uncontrollable fury [Rage] his greatsword casts a red flicker across the pit as it bursts into flame and performs two savage chops across the beasts arms and body [Both hit]

Siggni yells a warcry and throws an axe at the beast as she launches herself off the lip of the pit and downwards towards the waiting claws. The axe buries itself into the monster as she follows close behind [Damaged monster - will land on it next round..hopefully]

Kaligula watches as his compaions once again rise to the challenge of the battle. From his vantage point he sees a seconds umberhulks jump down into the pit from the northern passage. "Another one!" he yells from his position near the back...

[Actions?]

Monster: taken 63 damage
thak: 44/66 though rage has taken him to 54hp
Atak: 16/30
Rest: Healthy

Concentrating on what is in front of her Siggi tries to grip the first beast in between thighs that can bend iron, hang on and lay in to it with Blottvarp, all the while screaming rude words in the language of the Snow Barbarians. If it is her turn to pass to the mansions of Kord this day, she'll arrive riding a suitable mount!

Those standing close by can't help but notice a glint in Caligula's eye when the beast lands a hit on Thak. A sneer, maybe? Even glee, some might think.

Regardless, seeing the party in need of help, he urges people forward, allowing him to get a little closer to the wounded, whilst still staying as safe as possible...

Thak hopes his brother makes it up the rope. He will hold the monster away from his brother until Siggi has it, then he leashes flaming death with Gutter on the new beast that has arrived, hoping Siggi ends the other one quickly so she can have some fun with this one too.

ooc: Er, hmm, seems like I've missed something. Been kind of very busy lately, haven't much checked the forums at all. Anyways, is my character (Belwar, gnomish druid) still along? If so, he'll cast Magic Fang / Greater Magic Fang on himself and wildshape into his wolf form and attack... Sorry for the absence, but I bet it won't be the first time as I'm quite busy. :-/

Since Kegs and Cull are both in the thick of fighting, Arak is going to stay with them and try and do something to help. Seeing the second Umber Hulk, he'll cast a web spell, or any form of entanglement. If he doesn't have something useful like that, then he'll try an illusion on the second umber hulk to delay it (like making Knok look like he's shooting two arrows right at its eyes to blind it). Er failing that, he'll cast protective magic to cover Siggi, Thak and himself in that order, and failing that, he'll seriously consider why he bothered learning to read magic in the first place :p. (He can just cast another aggressive spell on the first umber hulk to try and get rid of it asap).

[OOC Btw, I haven't really looked at rules for ages; are we using some that when you reach 0 you're dead, or does that knock you unconscious, and you've got another 10 hp to last before you're properly dead?]

Doggin' at a spot near you
Bamoin Looks down the tunnel and spots the 2nd hulk moving forward and drops the rope down then climbs down after it ......


When he reaches the bottom he grabs the rope again and loops 1 end to make a lasso .


[OOC : I'm hoping to pull the umberhulk onto his back so the group can easily dispatch it ]

[OOC he can try ... Str vs Str Grapple check. hehehe bring it on skinny rogue!!

Spells. Ill post a list of who knows what and where to get descriptions some point today. There difficult as its fairly subjective the list that I chose to what you might choose instead.

Death is at - Con. So most of you have more than -10 to play with. Though I might introduce Vitality / Wounds from Unearthed Arcana (the new alternative rules book)

My pnp campaign i run currently has a 22 page house rules document for it. ;-)

Knok casts a spell to stop/halt/freeze the new arrival (if he can)

or more proberbbly causes as much hurt to the first onbe as posible by sticking more arrows into it.

Belwar springs into close combat with the newcomer umber hult, with his lupine friend in close pursuit.

Jial rushes down the corridor, following you "Sorry i'm late. Got a bit distracted back at town. You seem to be in the lair of an umber... oh, i see you found it already."
with that, Jial unslings his bow, and launches a set of arrows towards the second umber hulk.
[i think i can launch 4 using many shot.... 3 at +7, then 1 at +6. If not, i'll think of some other amount to fire :)]

I sent over an explanation of Manyshot. currently you can fire 2 with manyshot but its a standard action (means you can move 30ft) or 3 with rapid shot (5ft step maximum)

Lets say you arrive and manyshot ;-)
