Tests and Trials

[thinkslogically]

((no I thought I was attacking the one next to her that she was hitting last time. Unless that's a different one? Either, way, shell hit the closest one first and then move on if it dies))

[Rodgeir]

Ves moves north a step and slams her staff into skeleton 31's right side before throwing a knee into it's left side. Kroshav turns and finishes the tottering skeleton off with a blow that splits it from shoulder to leg.

The fire skeleton moves forward and swings it's axe at Kroshav, catching him in an armpit and biting deep and burning briefly.

Jolly moves out from behind Lurn and looks outside yelling,

"More of outside... can't see how many!"

[thinkslogically]

"Shit... Where are they coming from?! We need to find somewhere we can defend!"

[Arch Lich Burns]

Alrighty, Joe will shatter as many as she can again.

Shatter dc 12 for hlaf [3d8] = 16

[thinkslogically]

((it's Jaq now, right?))

[Rodgeir]

((Yep, but gonna be about half hour before I can update. Everyone will have heard the shatter again.))

[Rodgeir]

Joe picks a spot she can see just north of skeleton 22 in front of her and quickly utters the words of her spell. The air at that spot seems to contract and darken for a moment before a deafening, invisible wall of sound expands outwards. Skeleton 22 simply disintegrates spraying Joe with bone and clothe bits, skeleton 7 just manages to get its shield up which blocks some of the concussive wave. Skeleton 21 has no shield and takes the full brunt of the blast. Neither of the surviving skeletons look to be in good shape and Joe is fairly sure her ears are never going to stop ringing.

Skel 22 - didn't matter, dead no matter what
Skel 7 con save: 1d20+2 = [10] = 12
Skel 21 con save: 1d20+2 = [8] = 10

Jolly calls back to Ves,

"Joe just blew one of them up somehow...maybe see three left out there?" ((He is still dodging))

Map!

((Added a third map with everything that you can see. No one sees any additional skeletons approaching beyond what has already engaged. The blue pool is on a raised dais and the stairs down are directly south from it.))

[thinkslogically]

"Is Joe doing ok?"

[Rodgeir]

"Uh...she's movin'? Pretty gods damned bloody and so is Jaq."

((Edited post above))

[thinkslogically]

"Shit... Kroshav, Lurn - think you can take care of these things for a minute? I'm going to help Joe and Jaq."

[NotStickFigures]

Longbow attack: 1d20+7 = [11] = 18
Arrow Damage: 1d8+5+1d6 = [2] = 10

Jaq targets the skeleton right next to Joe, (#26 and gets sneak damage as its within melee with Joe)
he then yells at the Archer skeleton, "You better get me." and then he moves back behind the statue for the most cover he can get.

[Dlover]

"Leave seven to two so that it can be three on three? Hope you can run all the way over there in time? Seems like a questionable plan, but sure. Putting undead to rest is one of my duties, after all, so I'll hold them all here if I have to." The large man chuckles as he makes a repeat of the last bout, Lurn's spiritual blade makes a swing at Skeleton 10 while making a more direct attempt on #2. "I'd rather not deal with all this alone, though. Think you can handle the frontline, Kroshav? So long as I don't get too filled with arrows I can preserve you for a while... Jolly, when you get a chance, do me a favour and grab the crossbow from my pack. Does me little good, but having you shooting at them will keep you safer in the long run than hiding."

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20+5+2 = [7] = 14 1d8+5 = [2] = 7
Toll The Dead (Damaged): 1d12 = [9] = 9

[Rodgeir]

((Skeleton 2 is unhurt but skeleton 8 has taken damage. Okay to shift to that one?))

[Dlover]

((Isn't Skeleton 2 the one I just dealt 2 damage to on my last turn?))

[Rodgeir]

Waving his mace in the direction of the skeleton beside Kroshav to have the spiritual weapon attack it, Lurn turns his attention to the crossbow skeleton above him.

((I misread that to mean the crossbow skeleton 8 above (to the north) of Kroshav! Didn't even occur to me that you meant 2! I will switch the damages around.))

[Dlover]

((That's a reasonable bit of confusion. Thankfully it isn't really making any difference. XD ))

[Rodgeir]

Jaq fires a well aimed shot that removes a fair sized chunk of skeleton 26 but it still turns its attentions to Joe. Skeleton 21 moves south to get a better shot at Jaq but hits the statue instead. Skeletons 7 and 26 both hack down on Joe and both axes bounce of an invisible shield.

Skel 26 attack: 1d20+4 = [11] = 15
Skel 26 attack: 1d6+2 = [4] = 6
Skel 7 attack: 1d20+4 = [8] = 12 Hit with flanking
Skel 7 attack damage: 1d6+2 = [5] = 7
Skel 21 attack: 1d20+4 = [4] = 8 Miss

Lurn directs his floating blade to finish skeleton 10 with a cut that removes its head before gesturing at skeleton two and watching bones splinter.

Wis save: 1d20-1 = [13] = 12

Skeleton 9 sights on Ves and the string to its bow snaps as it draws. Skeleton 6 joins in targeting Ves and finds its mark ((going to deflect the missile?)). Skeleton 8 continues to fiddle with its crossbow seemingly unable to get it functioning. Skeleton 25 steps up to Ves and makes two vicious swings with its long sword that she is able to twist and dodge to avoid. Behind her skeleton 2 fires a shot at Lurn that is far off the mark, likely due to the odd twisted angle of one of its arms.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Yes, Joe will shield. "Could use a bit o help here!"

Joe pulls out her dagger and stabs at the skelly that looks poor in health and flanking her.
Dagger [1d20+6] = 13+6 = 19[1d4+4] = 3+4 = 7

[Rodgeir]

Joe unleashes her fury on skeleton 7 to her north and stabs her way through its knees and then chest leaving only a mangled pile of lifeless bone.

((Only two visible skeletons left outside))

[spiderwrangler]

((Will Kroshav have half cover from the archer on the stairs to the north if he moves west 5ft?))

[Rodgeir]

((Yes))

[spiderwrangler]

He'll move there then and swing at the fire skeleton, channeling the power of his faith into the strike.


Attack: 1d20+7 = [19] = 26
Damage: 1d8+7 = [8] = 15 piercing
Divine Smite: 3d8 = [8, 8, 1] = 17 radiant

[Rodgeir]

((Dex save please!))

[spiderwrangler]

((Nope! ))
1d20 = [4] = 4

[NotStickFigures]

Seeing Joe taking care of her business well, and only one last skeleton bothering her, he will target the archer undead.

Longbow attack 1d20+7 = [2] = 9
He will move out to attack and then after move back behind the statue for cover.
