This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Jolly yells, "shoulder to shoulder!  Shields up!  Peldic, Mergo, in the middle for light and stones!"

The halfling veteran looks from side to side looking for any targets to come into his field of vision.

Three creatures, looking more like horrific burn victims than rotting corpses, hurl themselves towards the center of the group’s line! They will come to grips with you in but a moment!

Baldue screams like a child, "OH man, GAME OVER!"

Meanwhile, from the staircase, even as Jolly yells out instructions, Mergo, Foromo, and Peldic all clearly hear the start of a LOUD dragging sound – from  just beyond the archway below.

OOC - Guys, declare your desired movements/adjustments for the folks under your control and then Drohem can roll party initiative.

Movement: Baldue, Beyla, and Norda will stand their ground, so no movement from them.

GM Rolls 3.

1. Foromo takes one step down and listens hard, shield up, Axe in hand...Hollering " Uh...Guys..."

2. Hurmak stands ready to back up the engaged fighters, quivering, but quivering not in fear. You notice the spear shaking slightly.

3. Hurtag looks at his Brother, standing there quivering...takes a half-side-step from him...and you would swear you hear him going "Hmmmmm....."

Mergo loads a stone into his sling.  Pedric moves into the center of the group with the torch to provide light.  Jolly stands his ground with the others and holds his shield and short sword at the ready.

OOC:  I rolled a 4 for Round 2 Initiative.

Foromo, as you are speaking, both Peldic and Mergo whirl about and step out of the crypt, moving to obey Jolly's instructions. You are now alone in the crypt as the dragging sound grows in volume. Outside, you hear the renewed sound of combat.

The party has the initiative this round; fire or strike for your characters, I will attack with Baldue, Norda, and Beyla last - if needed.

Mergo quickly twirls the sling around his head to gain momentum and then lets his stone fly at the first shape appearing out of the fog.  Jolly braces for the impact of the shapes slamming into the party's line and then quickly stabs at the nearest creature with his short sword.

Jolly yells to Foromo, "get out here and close the door!"

==============================================

OOC:  I rolled a 17 (16 + 1) for Mergo's sling's attack and he hits AC 2 for 4 damage!

I rolled a 12 for Jolly's short sword attack and he hits AC 7 for 6 damage.

As the burnt men crash into the line, Mergo’s bullet flies true and strikes the forehead of the far right attacker, who’s head then cracks in two, causing great gouts of flame to shoot up in the sky from his brain cavity as he collapses in front of Norda!

Jolly’s opponent crashes right into him while he in turn buries his sword to the hilt in the monster’s chest! As Jolly pulls his sword free of the shrieking, thrashing monster, the blade bursts into flames as it comes in contact with the air once more! With a gurgling sigh the fiend grows still on the ground - then suddenly bursts into flames, somehow  pushing back both the encroaching fog - and revealing a ring of creatures closing in on the party!

OOC – Hurtag and Hurmak can now each roll 1d20 to attack the far left “burnt” man currently rushing in to attack the party. Hurmak and his spear goes first.

- Then let me know what Foromo is doing.

OK...

1 - Foromo - Hollers "Will be right there..." as he peers further into the darkness of the stairs and Archway. (OOC - by my notes, 60' Infravision, Archway only 20' out, 30' down, can I see a little way past the Archway, maybe enough to see what's making that noise??)

2 - Hurtag - (11 to hit AC9 5pts Dmg) Swings his Longsword with great strength, bringing it down on his foes head...

3 - Hurmak - (19 to hit AC1 5pts Dmg) Well, all you see if "Thrust, thrust,whack,whack,pary,thrust,stab,stab,whack,pary,stab,stab" All the time screaming "Die, Die you foul beast...Die again, die some more, just ddiiee!!!"

Foromo spots the outline of something LARGE just easing into range of the archway…

The burnt man ducks under Hurtag's swing and staggers directly into Hurmak's thrusts, causing flaming “liquid” to spray throughout the area, setting nearby grass on fire, as it collapses.

Norda snarls, “NOT ONE STEP BACK!”

Beyla shouts, “COURAGE – THE HEXARCHS STAND WITH US!”

Baldue screams, “OH SHIT, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!”

Meanwhile, Jolly’s sword is streaming some kind of flaming ichor that fortunately (for now) is kept from his fingers by the weapon’s crosspiece.

What do you do now?

Hurtag - Taps Hurmak's Head with the hilt of his sword..."You can stop now..." then makes ready to fight some more, you would swear he was mumbling "Hmmm..."

Hurmak - Stops, looks around, "Oh, OK..." See's the rest of the hord, makes ready, spear quivering...

Foromo - Hollers out "What's going on out there...we got something coming out down here..." Looks closer, taking a couple of steps down to see better...

Peering close as you can, you can see "something" propelling itself with one leg through the archway...



headless, it twists its neck and "stares" and you...and drags itself forward - towards the staircase, sparks flying from its axe as it advances.

Foromo - "Hey Jolly...(OCC relays info from post) Do you really want to close the door and fight that horde, or close the door with us inside and take out this already hurt creature...your call

OOC - PS - if not already declared, Jolly is team Leader, Group Calls are his...

Jolly makes a split-second decision and yells, "everyone inside and close the door!  We'll face whatever is coming up while trying to keep these things outside!"

Baldue hearing the word "retreat" rushes in to secure the area!

Beyla drags Norda back, "Come sister! Now is not the time!"

Norda snarls at the oncoming hordes of the dead!

The party barely gets the door pulled closed as the crowds crash into it! Thinking quickly, Norda ropes the handle of the door to a heavy sconce nearby.

Panting the party turns to face the staircase.

Baldue screams, "OH SHIT, WHAT'S THAT??????"
