CH. 13: Resident Evil

[BishGada]

Baeros drinks the potion of healing, then pulls out both swords and charges the armor. "Be careful of the traps on the floor, we don't want to fight three armors!" When he runs he tries to intercept the armor and prevent it from accidentally step on the trap.

[JadedDM]

Ouragana grabs the book and shoves it in her pack. She can hear the sound of battle out in the hall now.

Baeros downs the potion, and feels a sudden surge of energy as the wound he took from that military fork is completely healed, and the axe wound only marginally. He moves forward, drawing his blades, trying to get the armor's attention. It works, as the armor comes straight for him. It slashes its scimitar across his chest, leaving him fairly close to where he was before drinking the potion. Brock moves in to help, but his limp makes him too slow to catch up with the ranger in time.

Meanwhile, Drav and Gallath begin firing arrows at the armor. Drav scores a hit with his first shot, but misses badly with the second. Gallath almost hits with his first shot...indeed, if he was 10 feet closer, he would have hit for sure. His second shot is a wide miss, though.

Animated Armor moves 20 feet westward and swings its scimitar at Baeros in studded leather (-2 to hit) [TN 05] (1d20-2): 15-2 = 13, hit for (1d8): 6 damage. Baeros is now moderately wounded (75% HP) again.

(OOC: I am, once again, initiating the Three Day Rule here and moving things forward.

Actions and Initiative for Round 2?)

[chese780]

*Fire moar!*

(OOC: There is a negligible chance that I'll accidentally clip Baeros and have him pissed at me for a long time, right?)

[Nuke]

Val too fires an arrow

init, hit and damage (1d10,1d20, 1d6=[7], [3], [4])

[HorizonsDream]

With the armor's attention on Baeros, Jocelyn moves around the trap on the floor and tries to position herself behind the armor to attack it from behind.

Init Roll, Hit Roll

[Breila]

Since she has proven that she's of no value in battles, Ouragana stays behind. she feels that her shield spell is still active and if someone gets badly wounded, she'll once again interpose herself between that person and the attacking armor.

[spyguy1503]

Gallath fires more arrows at the Armor, although he moves to the lower wall first.

[BishGada]

Baeros instincts kicks in, he constantly moves, blocks the armor attacks and retaliates. Looking for opening he swings the long sword from the right slashing diagonally at the armor, and then immediately thrusts the short one which is easier to maneuver at the armor torso.

================================================================
(OOC: Init/Hit Long/Hit short (13,8(AC8)miss,17(AC-1)), Dmg Short (5)

You might find it interesting that I first wrote the description of the actions which hints for Long sword miss (or Feint) and short sword hit, and only then rolled the dice (or pressed the "roll" button on invisible castle) which matched to the description.
Next time I better roll first.
)

[JadedDM]

Jocelyn moves first, hoping to get around the armor and attack it with her hammer. However, she is weighed down and slower than she realizes, and doesn't get into position in time to make an attack yet.

Val tries to reach for her bow, but she has no bow...or hands, for that matter. Realizing she is still in lupine form, she instead focuses on shapechanging back into her half-orc body.

Drav fires a couple of arrows at the armor, and both hit but only make slight dings in it. Baeros likewise manages to stab it with his short sword, knocking a few parts from it. It's a slow battle of attrition, but the party is gaining ground against it.

Brock moves in to help, but his axe swing is too slow and the armor easily blocks it with its shield. The armor then swings its blade at Baeros, but the ranger is able to hop back in time to avoid getting cut.

Finally, Gallath moves a bit south and then fires another arrow, but the shot goes wide and flies overhead.

Drav fires a sheaf arrow from his short bow at Animated Armor with excellent aim (+2 hit) and elven grace (+1 hit) [TN 15] (1d20+3): 19+3 = 22, hit for (1d8): 2 damage. Animated Armor is moderately damaged.
Baeros swings his long sword at Animated Armor with great strength (+1 hit/dmg) [TN 14] (1d20+1): 7+1 = 8, miss. He then stabs his short sword at Animated Armor with great strength (+1 hit/dmg) [TN 14] (1d20+1): 16+1 = 17, hit for (1d6+1): 4+1 = 5 damage. Animated Armor is now seriously damaged.
Brock moves 15 feet eastward. He then swings his axe at Animated Armor with great skill (+1 hit/+2 dmg) and strength (+1 dmg) [TN 16] (1d20+1): 13+1 = 14, miss.
Animated Armor swings its scimitar at Baeros in studded leather (-2 to hit) [TN 05] (1d20-2): 2-2 = 0, miss.

(OOC: Because Jocelyn is lightly encumbered, she can't move more than 40 feet and still make an attack.

Also, obviously Val can't use her bow in wolf form.

Actions and Initiative for Round 3?)

[spyguy1503]

Gallath, annoyed, fires another arrow.

[HorizonsDream]

Jocelyn closes the distance between herself and the armor, and swings her warhammer at it.

Int Roll, Hit Roll

[BishGada]

Using the momentum Baeros comes with a sequence of attacks trying to wear down the armor, then in an instance changes the rhythm and strikes hard with both swords.

===================================
(OOC: Init/Hit Long/Hit Short (9,7,8) Hmm... that wasn't very effective, was it?)

[chese780]

*Pull longswords (plural) and start to close distance towards the armor*

(OOC: Going to say nothing, just do actions, should I RP my movements though?)

{Flametounge LS and Regular LS}

[JadedDM]

Jocelyn swings her hammer at the armor's backside, but the blow is too weak and it simply bounces off.

Brock and Baeros continue fending off the armor, trying to keep it busy. The armor swings at Baeros, cutting into his arm a bit with its scimitar.

Val moves down into the hallway, takes aim and fires an arrow. But the armor throws up its shield at the last second, deflecting it. Meanwhile, Drav draws his blades and moves toward the armor, but being weighed down, by the time he reaches it is too late. Gallath fires an arrow, knocking its helmet off again. The armor crashes onto the ground, lifeless.

End melee.)

[HorizonsDream]

Jocelyn lets out a sigh before she puts away her warhammer. "Gallath, you have the key right? Be careful of traps, and try it on those doors," she says, pointing towards the two doors to the left of the study they were just in.
