Dawn12: he is haveinf some trouble
FinLongham: ok by me
Missiledine: Ok, when we ended... Corren, Dawn and Rolb were landing on the island.. Long was in a boat, without oars, about a hundred feet
from shore
FinLongham: I take the rope that was in the boat and jump out of the boat to swim to shore.
Missiledine: On shore: Rolb and Corren hack away at the fence.. You hear shouts and running footsteps on the other side
Dukejr01: Right. Corren is going to force his way thru the fence with axe and brute force. he makes a hole large enough to be followed thru.
Missiledine: Which shore? Island or mainland?
FinLongham: Island
Dukejr01: <good luck>
Missiledine: Dawn cast PD2 Shield spell... correct?
Missiledine: ok
FinLongham: <Yeah I know we lost Doc Doing this>
Dukejr01: <that and you have no weapons or armour>

Missiledine: From up near the building you hear the gong start ringing again, over and over and over...
FinLongham: <I have my knife on me>
Dukejr01: <here come the Undead>
Dawn12: i cast haste spell 3rd leavle on rolb then me
Missiledine: Corren; You push down the fence in front of you, the thorns give you some scratches but nothing serious
Dukejr01: Corren looks around for guards with crossbows.
Docportal has entered the room.
Dukejr01: hi doc
Missiledine: you are standing in some trees, there is no undergrowth here but the branches hang down to face level.. Ahead you see an open
clearing around the house and sheds
Docportal: <All it took was a reboot.>
Missiledine: Hey!
FinLongham: <Glad to see your on>
Missiledine: There are some barrels, crates, a decaying longboat, a two wheeled cart and some lumber scattered about the area... There are
three men with crossbows aimed, sheltering behind this cover
Missiledine: as you come through they shoot
Dukejr01: Corren All out defends
Dawn12: i have my sword in my hand
Dukejr01: Hits the ground, etc.
Dawn12: i attack
Missiledine: Rolb will crouch and shoot with his bow
Missiledine: Dawn, you charge the men?
Dukejr01: <query, are the spells cast already? I though Corren was first thru?>
Missiledine: you and Rolb were side by side hacking at the fence, the spells are cast
Dukejr01: okay. thanks
Dawn12: i will all out defends
Missiledine: Corren dives, Rolb crouches, Dawn dodges... The crossbows twang.. all three shots miss (Really rotten dice tonight!)
Dukejr01: <lol>
Dukejr01: Corren gets up and charges them. he will throw his axe en route and draw his sword.
Missiledine: The men throw down their bows, draw their swords and charge... yelling out several names as though calling friends
Dukejr01: Corren chuckles.
Missiledine: Long... You are swimming in... expecting to be drawn under at any moment
FinLongham: <Thank, I thought you had forgoten me.>
Dukejr01: what kind of armour are they wearing?
Missiledine: Ahead of you and around you, you see the water swirling and then undead start wading out of the water, climbing the shoal of the
island, headed for the dock area and the gap in the fence
Dukejr01: <that is what I thought....>
Missiledine: There are at least a dozen that you can see and there are probably more coming from the otherside of the island
FinLongham: <Oh crap I am so dead>
Missiledine: At the moment they seem to be ignoring you
FinLongham: <Good where is that boat? I was on>
Missiledine: Corren, Dawn. Rolb... You will each have one opponent... Corren, your axe was dodged
Missiledine: Long: Behind you about fifty feet now
FinLongham: NM I will swim for shore and pray
Dukejr01: Corren: Attack/block
Missiledine: Your opponents, two have studded leather, one has scale armor. One has a battle axe, one a broadsword, one a scimitar
Dukejr01: thrusting.
Missiledine: Dawn? Tactics?
Dukejr01: <test>
Docportal: <Loud and clear here>
Dukejr01: <ty>
Dawn12: Attack/dodge ,thrusting
Missiledine: Rolb easily out paces his opponent and slices him across the middle, taking him down
Dukejr01: <Rolb is the tougest charactor we have.... 8-)>
Dukejr01: <toughest>
Missiledine: Dawn, you attack first.... you hit and your man fails to parry it with his scimitar... you hit and draw blood, but he is still with you
Missiledine: Corren: You also attack first, your man has the axe
Missiledine: You attack... hedodges
Dukejr01: k
Dawn12: i sitll try to get hom with my sword
Missiledine: Rolb is moving on towards the house
FinLongham: <How am I doing?>
Missiledine: Dawn, your man counterattacks... He hits you fail to dodge and take 4 points cutting
Dukejr01: <only the second round of combat.... :-)>
Missiledine: Long You are back at the boat
Missiledine: Corren your man misses completely
FinLongham: I reach out and try to padd with my hands.
Missiledine: Dawn, you attack again... missing
Dawn12: All out defens
Missiledine: Corren.. you hit he fails his defense... you run him through and kill him
Dukejr01: Corren turns to help Dawn.
Dukejr01: All out attack on him two attacks, thrusting.
Missiledine: Dawn, your man attacks, but you dodge it
Missiledine: Corren your first attack hits easily, he is distracted, but you only do slight damage, a flesh wound. However he is backing away from
Dawn
Missiledine: the second missed
Missiledine: Long : you scramble into the boat and start paddling for shore
Dukejr01: Corren follows, all out attack, two attack again. how areteh undead doing?
Missiledine: You haven't seen any yet
Dukejr01: <k>
Missiledine: Corren: You are grazed for 1 point by a crossbow bolt shot from somewhere high up... two more kick up dust around you
Dawn12: attck/dodge
Dukejr01: Corren grunts but doesn;t look up.
Missiledine: Dawn, you follow, pressing the attack...He parries your blow
Missiledine: Corren, you attack... He dodges your first, but you hit on the second.. giving him another slight wound. He appears to be in all out
defense
Dukejr01: <eh? okay. thought corren and dawn were ganging up on him>
Missiledine: <you are>
Dukejr01: <oh! gotcha.>
Missiledine: Corren, Dawn, you hear Rolb call, "Ware ye backs!"
Dawn12: attack
Dawn12: i turn arund and see whats behind us
Missiledine: Dawn, you miss this round... he continues to back pedal away as he defends
Dukejr01: Corren presses the guy
Missiledine: You see about ten ooze covered, decaying skeletons, shambling towards you, strtetching out their arms in your direction
Missiledine: Corren your first attack is parried.. your second hits hard and he goes down with a hand span of steel in his guts
Dukejr01: Corren hazards a look behind him.
Missiledine: you see the skeletons about 40 feet away and advancing
Dukejr01: "Dawn, Run! This way!"
Dawn12: i follow
FinLongham: <How am I doing>
Missiledine: Which way?
Dukejr01: toward Rolb.
Dukejr01: toward the house
Missiledine: Paddling the row boat by hand will take some time... the dock is closest to you, but the skeletons are still gathering there... the hole in
the fence is farther off. Where do you go?
Missiledine: You run past the out buildings... you see a fourth man lying in a crumpled heap... Rolb is crouched behind some lumber, sheltering
from the crossbowmen in the second floor windows. "Cover!" He calls to you
Dukejr01: Corren drops into cover.
Dawn12: i tey to cover
Missiledine: You are shielded from the bolts, but the skeletons are following
FinLongham: I go for the hole
Missiledine: ok
Dukejr01: Corren dives into his satchel and takes out some healing grass tea and hands it to Dawn.
Dawn12: i drink it
Missiledine: <You dive into your satchel? That must be a tight fit.>
Dukejr01: <lol. you know what I mean. do a Desparado... get it fast.>
Missiledine: Dawn: You are fully recovered
Missiledine: <Uh, huh>
Dukejr01: Corren peeks out. does he see the crossbowmen?
Dukejr01: "Three bolts shot at me."
Missiledine: you can see the open windows and two bolts stuck in the lumber in front of Rolb
Dukejr01: how many open windows?
Missiledine: "Either there be a piss load of em up there, or they ave a stack of loaded crossbows." Rolb warns
Missiledine: three
Missiledine: You can see the door into the house, it looks to be of thick, iron bound planks. It is closed
Dukejr01: how high windows?
Dukejr01: the wagon, is it movable?
Missiledine: second floor, perhaps 15 feet off the ground... yes it is
Dukejr01: can the wagon be moved underthe window to gain access?
Missiledine: you can try
Dukejr01: or is there a log that can be braces under the window to serve as a step?
Missiledine: the bed of the wagon is about 4 feet high
Dukejr01: anthing around that can be put on the bed to increase height?
Missiledine: lot of lumber, crates, barrels sitting around this area
Dukejr01: a crate?
Dukejr01: great. okay....
Missiledine: perhaps
Missiledine: Long... you feel the keel of the boat scrape into the shallows... time to get out
Dukejr01: "Dawn, get ready to fireball. I am gojn to run tothe wagon and push it under a window. if anyone pops out to shoot me. get im. okay?" Corren whispers.
Missiledine: Rolb has his bow out
Dawn12: "ok"
Dawn12: fireball 3
Missiledine: ok
Dukejr01: Corren crouches and waits til Dawn is ready then runs to the wagon with sword sheathed and sheild out.
FinLongham: I try to see if there are any cossbows on the ground and run to them.
Dawn12: "ready"
Missiledine: Long: You pass through the hole in the fence and look out from under the trees.. The open space between you and the house has
scattered piles of lumber, crates, barrels and a rotting long boat.. There are also
Missiledine: about twentyfive skeletons, their backs to you, advancing to the house... You see three dead men lying in their midst, there are
weapons near them
Missiledine: Corren, you run to grab the cart. Looking past that you see a large number of skeletons, twenty or more, in a rough line advancing on
you... there isn't much time
Dukejr01: Corren forgets caution and PUSHES
FinLongham: I will check the bodys of the 3 dead men
Missiledine: Dawn: As Correen runs out, all three windows suddenly have men with crossbows in them. All three are aiming at Corren
Missiledine: Long You run into the skeletons?
Missiledine: Rolb's bow twangs
Dukejr01: Does corren see them?
Dawn12: i cast frieball 3
FinLongham: No I will wait untill the have moved on.
Missiledine: Who? The crossbows?
Dawn12: yes
Missiledine: Dawn, the spell works and you hit your man, spoiling his shot and making him disappear into the darkness in the room
Missiledine: Rolb's arrow also hits and the bolt goes wide
Dukejr01: Corren ddges the attack
Missiledine: the third crossbowman shoots and hits Corren for 2 points <No you didn't>
Dukejr01: or will try, that is
Dukejr01: okay.
Dukejr01: Corren ignores it and Pushes.
Missiledine: <Your armor stopped most of it>
Dukejr01: <good thing. can't wait for my Dwarf made stuff>
FinLongham: Have the skeletons moved on yet?
Missiledine: Corren The cart is light and you can run it up to the building easily.. as you do the untouched crossbowman, or another like him,
appears with another loaded crossbow. He is shooting at you again
Missiledine: <Your only defense here is dodge>
Dukejr01: Corren rolls under the cart.
Missiledine: Which you do, barely
Dawn12: i have a fireball ready
Dukejr01: Corren rolls out and goes to get a box to stand on.
Missiledine: Long... the closest body is now clear of the skeletons
Dukejr01: he takes his shield
Missiledine: Dawn. Rolb yells "Behind ye Lass!"
FinLongham: I move to it and pull it and the weapon back farther away.
Dawn12: dawn looks behind her
Missiledine: He has dropped his bow and has his sword out
Missiledine: Three skeletons are seconds from you
Dawn12: i run for the cart
Missiledine: Long. The body has a broadsword of human make, it is very heavy for you... A dagger and a case of crossbow bolts, but no crossbow
FinLongham: I will take the dagger and the case of crossbow bolts and look around more to see if i see the crossbow
Missiledine: Dawn, you are shot at from two windows by crossbows and you are engulfed in a fireball as you cross the space. The bolts both
miss, but the fire ball does 5 points to you
Dukejr01: <ow>
Missiledine: Everyone Else. You hear a 'KABOOM' and there is a flash of flame and smoke near the base of the building
Missiledine: Dawn staggers through it, her clothes smoldering... continue to the cart?
Dawn12: yes i go to the cart and try to go under it
Missiledine: <good idea>
FinLongham: <any armor on the boby I am at?>
Missiledine: Corren, you were able to grab a crate, which fortuneately was empty, and drag it to the cart
Missiledine: scale
FinLongham: <My armor is in the boat at the hole yes?>
Dukejr01: Corren throws it onto the cart and dodges under the cart
Missiledine: Long Yes
FinLongham: Ok then I will go back to the boat and put my armor on. instead.
Missiledine: ok
FinLongham: And grab any weapons that are there
Missiledine: The crate and cart give you a platform of about 8 feet...
Dukejr01: "Dawn. ready one of those big fireballs and when you are ready. chuck it into the window right aboutthis one, I will climb up into the window and get in
the house. okay?"
Dukejr01: Corren should be able to climb into that
Dukejr01: about = above.
Missiledine: Should
Dukejr01: "First. can you ready a smaller fireball? I will go get another crate. you hit anyone that pops out. k?"
Missiledine: Corren. You notice Rolb has his back to a cottage wall and is taking on a mess of skeletons, at least eight or nine are trying to crowd
in on him... a lot of broken bones scattered about him
Dawn12: i get the fireball ready3
Dukejr01: how far away?
Dukejr01: is Rolb?
FinLongham: Am I ready?
Missiledine: 70 maybe 80 feet, back the way you came
Dukejr01: do the skeletons have weapons?
Missiledine: <A couple more rounds Fin>
FinLongham: <ok>
Missiledine: some do, clubs, corroded bronze... many don't
Dukejr01: how long would it take for Corren t ocover that space?
Dukejr01: <I guess I misunderstood the tactical situation>
Missiledine: <it happens>
Missiledine: Your move is 6
Dukejr01: okay,. nothing for it. Corren waits until Dawn has her fireball ready, then runs to get another crate.
Dawn12: "ready"
Missiledine: fireball is ready
Dukejr01: Corren runs to a crate, shield up
Dukejr01: <Fin, help Rolb>
Missiledine: Corren runs for the crates... Dawn, you hear the snap of crossbows from the windows overhead..
Dawn12: i cast faireball 3
FinLongham: <I had planed on it.>
Dukejr01: <cool>
Missiledine: You see the bolts... one hits dirt at Correns feet, one zings off his shield, the third hits his back but bounces off his armor...
Missiledine: you send the fireball into the window and are rewarded with a cry of pain
Dukejr01: <yay!>
FinLongham: How close am I to being ready to fight?
Missiledine: You hear someone yell "Under the cart! Blast it sir!"
Dawn12: i try to move brfor ithits me
Dukejr01: Corren runs back with the crate.
Missiledine: You still have a few buckles to tighten, but you can start heading that way now
Dukejr01: <how far to run around the corner?>
FinLongham: I grab my short sword and run towards the skeletons. and attack as soon as I am close enought to hit them
Missiledine: Dawn, you roll clear of the cart just as another explposion engulfs it... a bigger one this time...you catch a bit os singe from it, but your
armor protects you... The cart and crate are in flames tho... But the fire has not yet
Missiledine: destroyed the integrity of the wood, tho it will be hot climbing it
Missiledine: Long. Ok, next rd you start. You hear another 'KABOOM' from ahead and see the blast, this time close to the house
Dukejr01: Corren doesn;t heasitat, he leaps onto the cart and drops the new crate on top of hte ols, then climbs up, shield up.
Missiledine: Corren What do you do?
Missiledine: ok
FinLongham: <Corren and dawn get in there and kill things. we can take it out here>
Dawn12: i get ready afireball 2
Missiledine: Dawn Though Rolb has occupied about half the undead in their efforts to kill him, there are still eight or nine closing on you.. You have
two rounds to get away or attack or whatever
FinLongham: On my first attack I start yelling. "Come get me you dead things!"
Dukejr01: <ballsy :-)>
Missiledine: Corren. As you scramble up, with shield raised, you hear some one yell, "Kill that son of a bitch!" There is someone thrusting at you
with a spear
Dawn12: i follow corren
Missiledine: Ok Dawn
Missiledine: Long.. When you yell, three of the skeletons trying to get at Rolb turn towards you
Dawn12: i cast fireball 2 at the person yelling at cooen
Dukejr01: okay. can corren climb with sword/shield or does he need a hand free?
Missiledine: you can't see who yelled, they are further back in the house
FinLongham: I swing my short sword and try to hit them all
Dawn12: ok
Missiledine: well, they all won't reach you at once, tho two will be close enough to try sweeping like that... tho it is tricky to do with a short sword
Dawn12: cast fireball 1 at the guy attacking corren
Missiledine: Long You hit the skeleton closest to you, but miss the second both continue attacking
Missiledine: ok Dawn
Missiledine: You get the spell off... but you miss your throw while shooting up and past Corren at the attacker
Dukejr01: <can Corren attack the spear wielder?
Missiledine: You JUST miss Corren... sending the fireball richochetting into the room
Dukejr01: <lol. whee!>
Dukejr01: <this is fun! :-D>
Missiledine: yes, you can thrust back
Dukejr01: Corren thrusts/blocks.
Missiledine: Long, the first skeleton tries to grapple you, but fails to get a grip.. the second misses
FinLongham: Swing again.
FinLongham: attack/parry.
Missiledine: ok... Corren.. You avoided the intitial thrust and stab back but miss
Dukejr01: one guy in window?
Missiledine: yes
Dukejr01: is he overextended? can corren attack his spear or get inside his guard?
Missiledine: <I know Dawn needs to go... We will close it here and start next time with Fin then Dawn then Corren>
Dukejr01: okay
Dukejr01: <think we'll make it?>
Missiledine: <Your last Hurrah before you die! :-D>
FinLongham: <I sure hope so>
Dawn12: ok thanks
Dukejr01: night all
FinLongham: Night all
Dukejr01 has left the room.
Missiledine: no problem... we'd have managed more but for AIM
