Re: Open Sez-a-me
Sangraal rushes up the stairs and watches as the stone completes its arc and crashes into Khelzhad.
"Khelzhads down! He fell onto the walkway below. Someone with a missle weapon go and see if we can flank this giant and heal Khelzhad if possible." he calls back to his companions as he takes a defensive position next to Pogar.
[OOC: Sangraal moves 3 S, 1 SW and goes total defensive.
Total defense [Standard][AoO: No]
Description: A character doesn't attack or perform any other activity other than moving at base speed, but the character gets a +4 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round. The character's AC improves at the start of this action, so it helps against any attacks of opportunity provoked while moving
AC 24 (halfplate + protection from chaos + defensive)
If the walkways connect we should be able to flank it if someone runs downstairs.]

["If the walkways connect we should be able to flank it if someone runs downstairs."
Now why would you make an out of character comment like that, rather than just have Sangraal say it out loud? I don't get it...]
Sangraal and Pogar advance a bit, and wait.

I did have Sangraal say it. I just clarified it in the OOC and since you missed it in reading the post I'd say it was a good thing. I clarify becuase when attempting to write a fantasy genre post meanings get lost. What makes sense in my mind, most likely doesn't make sense in anyone elses.
Also I would think clarifing it in an OOC would make your job as GM easier, hell I read peoples posts all the time and say to myself " Wha da f*ck is he talking about!" so I can't imagine what you go through trying to piece together some of the combat actions I have seen ( including my own).

Re: Open Sez-a-me
[Sorry. I didn't mean for it to sound confrontational. I just thought Sangraal's IC statement was absolutely clear. I'm fine with OOC clarifications. Carry on.]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
Janes whispers, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
[Janes definitely heard the roar of this creature, and the sound of the thrown boulder bouncing off Khelzhad. He doesn't know what it is, but he knows that something violent just happened. -GM]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
[Someone give me actions for Draxim. He's got an absurdly high AC versus Attacks of Opportunity from large creatures, so if anyone were to try to run past that big spear, he'd be the guy.]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
As Draxim watches Khelzhad creep out onto the bridge Draxim reels back in horror as Khelzhad gets clipped off of the bridge and falls twenty feet. As Pogar and Sangraal rush out to face this beast, Draxim rushes out and tries to flank the beast.
[Hmm... the creature is as wide as the bridge. There's no way for Draxim to get behind it. Besides, he can't flank something by himself.
Also, if you're going to move please be specific. Something like 3 south, 1 south east, or whatever. If you're not specific you don't move. -GM]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
[How about this one...?]
Draxim draws the Grinning Blade form its sheath.
"I hope this thing really works", he says as he moves forward with Pogar to distract the giant from the fallen Khelzhad.
[move 20' S, hold second action for a possible Dodge]
[He doesn't need to hold an action to Dodge, he just does it. -GM]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
As Pogar stands there, still shocked at his cousin falling, holding his axe, the image continues to replay in his mind. From just before Khelzhad moved onto the bridge til the flash of the boulder clipping him on the shoulder and sending him down. Deeper and deeper this barreled chested's dwarfs' breaths grow.
"Atan! Janes! Its a biggy! Move forward'n start firin' yer bow's'n crossbow, it'll be hard ta miss, takes up the whole bridge! Do it'n do it now!" Pogar calls out. As Draxim pushes forward and stands next to him and Sangraal, Pogar grabs Draxim and pulls him into a better position.
Pointing at the beast, Pogar yells at Draxim, "Fire on that". while he grabs Draxims hand, that is removing the sword and shoves the sword back into its sheath. "Ye'll no hit it stand'n here wit yer sword, Lad"
With bloodshot eyes, Pogar had taken on a definate commanding postion. With his cousin down, Pogar is rumaging his brain to figure out the best way to save his cousin.
"Sangraal, light yer dad-burned flail!" Pogar calls out. All the while, images of Khelzhad fill his mind.
"We be need'n fire power an we need it now!" Pogar calls out, in a calm and controlled voice, yet inside his head he is in a panic.
[OOC: How far off is this monster? 30' 20' 10' 5' 0'?]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
[Pogar will do as Pogar needs to do, but I think the more level headed Draxim would see the advantage of using the Grinning Blade in this situation as once it is activated with the blood of the enemy it creates strength sapping poison on future hits.
I think Draxim has the sword - or did Janes end up with it after that game of musical magic items and it is a moot point? I can't remember for certain...]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
[Actually, Janes has the sword. However, the reason why Pogar would have Draxim start firing on the thing is to keep it occupied. I am unsure how far it is, so there ya go.....]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
[10-4. Then it sounds like the best move for Drax is to move 20 S and shoot. Sorry for the confusion...]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
Draxim stalks forward and raises his crossbow to his shoulder. With practiced ease he puts a bolt into the monster's chest, just to one side of the massive metal disc the thing wears around its neck. A moment later Pogar hurls his ax, as the thing charges forward to impale Draxim. The projectile spins wildly out of control, disappearing into the darkness.
Sparing a glance for Khelzhad, Draxim sees the bard roll to his feet and gather up his crossbow. Khelzhad waves up to Draxim with a smile. He seems totally unhurt despite being struck with a flying boulder.
With a feral roar the giant surges forward and jabs Draxim in the chest with a spear the size of a small tree. The ferocity of the attack nearly knocks the dwarf over, and Draxim spits out a gobbet of blood.
[Draxim is moderately wounded, Madragar is lightly wounded still. Map updated. Go.]

Re: Open Sez-a-me
[OOC: To speed up the game a little bit, at least]
Ulwe, the elf in the front, hears the comotion and rushes around the corner to see whats happening only to see Draxim get railed by this beast.
Atan, pushing Tsai out of the way and turns the corner. Drawing his bow he [at this point, I dont know if he can shoot or not, trying to do a half move then shoot, but I dont know if drawign an arrow and knocking it would be considered a move as well, if he can shoot he will.]
Madragar, grabbing Tsai roughly tells Tsai what the creature looks like and yells at him, 'What is the thing?"
