5 - 023: The End?

[K Man]

Romar -

The Duke watches you with cold, lifeless eyes. He mocks when your prayer graces his lips.

"Ha! Always relying on someone else for strength...that's the cowards way for sure."

When you mention the bolts of light in the sky, Duke Gramble shrugs as he brushes the last of the night frost from his bones.

"Wouldn't that be nice..."

He looks to the horizon.

"Shall we?"

{Romar - There's really no reason for me to eat up your time with this. If you want speed things up (i.e. - fast forward a few days at least, we can do that.}

------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Others -

OOC: Kman, am I enlarged at the end of Adelia's turn, or the end of the entire turn? If it's at the end of Adelia's turn, I'm going to charge the golem.

{It's during the character casting the spell's turn. So on Adelia's in this case. You want to delay movement until then? And yeah, I'll be nice and let you charge. }

Yuri moves behind the golem, drifting past him in gaseous form. {By 'pull out a Dorje', did you mean to rematerialize? Let me know.}

Galdren holds off, knowing Adelia is working her magic behind him.

Krysta moves forward, cursing her bow's effect on the golem.

Alton moves forward slightly and looses two arrows. Both strike the golem in the chest, puncturing the stitched flesh. [Damage Results = 15]

Girud continues to move, his huge legs pressing him forward.

Adelia finishes her spell, giving Galdren the benefit of size and girth. [Finish Enlarge spell.] She then backs up to let others into the fray.

Galdren, now enlarged, rushes down the hallway and brings his katanna slashing across the golem's chest. [Damage Result = 16] The golem flails from the blow, its chest split open and man-made ooze leaking out.

Garor moves, but finds the tunnel blocked by the now-large Gladren. [Move, but Galdren blocks hallway now.]

The golem reaches for Galdren with a clawed hand. [2 Attacks @ +10]
[dice=20]
[dice=20]
[Result = 1 hit, Damage = 14] The blow is solid, but Galdren shrugs it off and the fight goes on...

[Inititative: Yuri, Galdren, Krysta, Alton, Girud, Adelia, Garor, The Flesh Golem]

{Neither Galdren or the Golem have need to be toe to toe; with reach they can stand slightly apart. If Galdren had attacked at first chance (using his reach) there's still room for the cleric to squeeze between and play too}

Moving across the ahll and forward again Alton chooses a spot that Galdren isn't immideatly occpuying and sends two shafts through in another attempt to skewer the golem.

(The following rolls include -4 for cover. He has prescise shot and and can shoot into combat, but I think the Large is granting cover, if not, gimme back my 4)

[dice=20]+8 =23 (27)
[dice=20]+3 =15 (19 - if so, gimme another d4+2+2d6)

When atleast one arrow lands Alton smiles grimly; this beast had better enjoy what he was getting; because more pain was soon to come.

[dice=4]+[dice=6]+[dice=6]+2-5= 10 dam

{I can't count the spaces accurately; but if Girud can charge he will.}

Screaming in half-giant rage Girud closes the distance, powering up his two handed greatsword swing.

{AC 20 for the round and vs the AoO for basing}

{PA for 5}
[dice=20]+14 =24

[VemuKhaham]

That's the plan. I want to journey to my home on the outskirts of Carealal.

Responding to the Duke's mockery at his prayer and indeed mockery at everything, Romar says, in an honest and friendly way: "I pity you, Travis. It must indeed be an eternal torment for you. If all I could force myself to utter were words of disgust and antipathy, like you, than surely my life would be hell, like yours. We harvest what we saw. I think we both should have learned that lesson."

[GeneralMHB]

(OOC: Aye sir, that be my intention. I'll probably have to un-manifest as an action before pulling out the dorje. So, the dorje should be pulled this time around if I'm not mistaken. Action error on my part )

Let's hope this works....

With dorje in hand, Yuri releases its contents under the golem's feet. Paying careful attention not to have it under his companion's feet by mistake, he prays for a miracle...

[BluSpecs]

Garor readies a Cure moderate wounds speel and uses it if any of his team mates are hit...

[Fangor the Fierce]

Adelia moves close to the enlarged one, ready to hit him with some healing if needed. Krysta curses her luck on the use of the electricity. It seemed to favor the being, and as such, she continues her move towards the fray, in case aid was needed...

[Jevva]

Intent on utterly destroying the creation that damaged him so, Galdren draws his wakizashi and slashes the golem.

Power attack for 3:

Katana: [dice=20] +10 =19

[dice=20] +5 =13

Those probably don't hit, but just in case...
[dice=8] + [dice=8] + [dice=6] + 8 =17

Wakizashi: [dice=20] + 13 =26
Damage: [dice=8] + 10 =14[rand=436116406699116333491717406817226320346755564046469345726727806914]

{Hey kids, just to let you know, I'm not ignoring this. Been very busy at work lately. I will try to update tonight.}
