Game Update #129a in sequence (file #482)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: None.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra will attack #6 and interpose herself so that neither
#5 nor #6 can strike Xian or Balrog. If #6 goes down she will
attack the next guard.
Note that if Xian mentions to her that she should heal
Balrog she will cast ELmax healing on Balrog instead of
fighting. But since he looks like he will try she will
protect him.
Any other desperately need healing she will help them if
possible.
GM: Ack.
------------------------------------
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Hmmm.... Not sure that Ben'Dar can do much except keep moving
toward the fight at top speed. He'll engage the nearest guard
with his pike if any are still standing when he gets there.
He'll probably notice Balrog down so he'll move in that
direction and help keep the enemy off of Balrog/Xian.
Ben'Dar is fine with clearing out the whole keep. He wouldn't
mind trashing the place before the party leaves, maybe setting
fire to it and/or collapsing the entrance to make it unusable
to his enemies.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
Octaqi 30, in the 163rd Year [TH]
[Meanwhile in Caladan's Village]
[Day 60 of Trip]
[Time: 6:03am]
[Turn 5: Phase 2]
[Mana Allocation -]
[Xian allocates healing mana.]
[Missile Fire -]
[Thig aims at Guard #3 who is just below him at point
blank range and fires his repeating crossbow. He
hits and does 5 points of damage to his left arm.]
[Strie'bog aims his longbow at Guard #2 who is in melee
range just a couple feet away. Its dangerous to fire
at such a close target, tricky as well. He fires and
hits the guard in the chest doing 10 points of damage.
The arrow doesn't explode which is good in some ways
as at this range could backfire on Strie'bog. The
spell must've failed for this arrow. The guard falls
to the ground.]
[Magic Effect -]
[Xian knows time is critical. He doesn't have time
to cast a high healing spell. He speaks the words
quickly and casts the spell. The familiar green
hue covers the hands and body of Balrog and his wounds
close up a bit. He heals back 7 points and breath
comes back to his lungs as he gasps for air. His
heart begins to beat again.]
GM: Made death roll on multiple healing by 1%! Whew :)
[Melee & Movement-]
[Farseeker continues for the door and is amazed at how
big this dang room is.]
[Trembyl knows #1 will attack him soon so he gently
drops his almost loaded Arbalest and goes to draw
his scimitar in a defensive posture.]
[Ben'dar runs for the door more.]
[Unali swings both daggers at #5 but misses as he dodges
and weaves both.]
[Z'leyra wills her spell to move over Balrog and swings
her dagger at #6 who just took down Balrog. The dagger
hits the guard in the right chest just above the heart
doing 8 points of damage. The guard falls to the ground.]
[Guard #1 charges the last 5 feet to Trembyl and
swings his sword at him but misses by a half inch.]
[Kasha continues to the door.]
[Guard #4 charges Unali and thrusts his spear but misses.]
[Strie'bog knows its close combat now and shoulders his
longbow. He goes for his axe.]
[Guard #8 charges Z'leyra and thrusts spear at her but
fails to hit.]
[Guard #2 thrusts spear at Strie'bog and hits him in
the right shoulder but his thick quilted armor only
allows a minor 1 point nick. He takes damage for
the first time in the castle.]
[Guard #7 runs to the NW heading for Trembyl.]
[Guard #5 thrusts spear at Unali's center chest and
doesn't penetrate her armor however.]

[Mana Allocation -] - None
[Missile Fire -]
[Thig aims at the running #7 guard but fails to hit.]
[Magic Effect -]
[Melee & Movement-]
[Farseeker continues to the hallway.]
[Trembyl draws and swings wildly at Guard #1. The
blade slices so close it cuts deep into his chest
slicing tissue and hitting ribs. The massive
blow does 20 points of damage. The blood spray
gets all over Trembyl's tunic. The guard falls back
to the ground.]
[Ben'dar continues to the door angry he isn't fighting
and helping the others.]
[Unali twists and swings on Guard #4. One dagger misses
but the other hits the guard flat in the head and
does a massive hit knocking the guard down and knocked out.]
[Balrog wakes up and opens his eyes. he sees Z'leyra over
him and smiles at the shape and contours of her body.
Maybe he died? Her behind is sticking out as she leans
in for her fighting stance. To think some guy shave to
pay a full silver coin for this in some places...]
[Z'leyra twists in her levitating spell and moves toward
Unali and her previous position to attack #5. She
hits him in the right shoulder and does 5 points to
him but he is still standing.]
[Kasha continues to the door as well.]
[Strie'bog draws his Axe and swings wildly at Guard #2
but fails to hit in the wild swing.]
[Guard #8 swings on Z'leyra and hits her in the back
doing a massive 10 point blow through her magical
ring and magical leather armors. The Ring seems to
take some physical damage from the blow.]
[Xian picks up his war staff and steps literally over
Balrog and swings on Guard #8 The staff hits him
in the shoulder and does 5 points of damage to the
guard.]
[Guard #2 thrusts at Strie'bog but fails to hit.]
[Guard #7 joins up with Trembyl and thrusts at him
with spear but fails to hit.]
[Guard #5 hits Unali's armor again but fails to
penetrate.]

------------------------
[Turn 5: Phase 4]
[Mana Allocation -] - None
[Missile Fire -]
[Thig holds his fire as he could hit other folks.]
[Magic Effect -] - None
[Melee & Movement-]
[Thig flies to the west just a bit for better angle.]
[Farseeker now within feet of the door finally gets
ready to exit the room.]
[Trembyl thrusts now with a solid thrust at Guard #7
and hits in the lower right chest under his ribs
and impales the guard for 29 points of damage. Again
more blood splatters on Trembyl's tunic.]
[Ben'dar squeezes his Pike almost there at the door.]
[Unali swings both daggers the first hits in the chest
and does 4 subdual points which with the 5 Z'leyra
did knocks the guard out. The second hits as well
in the right shoulder and does a massive 13 more
subdual. But the guard is knocked out by the first.]
GM: Actually this kills the guard since part of
subdual goes to physical damage :<
[Balrog sits up and watches the final seconds of the
battle.]
[Z'leyra twists and turns around to attack #8 she stabs
the guard in the shoulder and does 10 points killing
the guard.]
[Guard #2 sees his allies fall. Being the second
most experienced in combat of the 8 guards he thinks
clearly he is outnumbered. He drops his spear and
holds his hands up.]

----------------------------------
[Three seconds later Trembyl and Strie'bog hold the last
standing guard as Farseeker, Kasha and Ben'dar emerge
from Ezam's office. Trembyl smiles.]
Trembyl: "Glad you could join us!"
[Farseeker looks at the party and sees the bodies and Balrog
now is sitting up. Glad that no one is dead on his side.]
Kasha: "Well we had some tea and biscuits. Glad you guys
could handle it on your own."
GM: Combat over. 6 Turns Almost a minute and a half. A long
combat! Express mode is now turned on. I'll finish the
level out and everything else as much as I can tonight.
Stay tuned for next part of the update...
