[DnD] Welcome to the Dungeon of Doom!

Wrathful Thunder at Wight
Moves 3 squares west

I was speaking idiomatically.

Charging back into the fray, Motsognir harasses the elf into a more reasonable attitude.

Bob 23/4
7 damage to Zombie H

Argumentus charges north as far as he is reasonably able.

Brigid takes a swing at the wight and misses. As she retreats from the melee, a zombie batters her.

10 damage; Brigid 14/8
Zombies recover from immobility

Gabriel, Bob, Zombies, Wights, Motsognir, Argumentus, Brigid

How ya doing, buddy?

The dwarf sighed and headed back the way he'd came. Only after taking the severed hand and placing it on the remnants of its own ass. That'd show it. Anyway, back up north he went, bracing himself for the worst.

Head five steps north to the top of those thar step... things.
FULL DEFENSE

FELIPE NO

The shorter of the dwarves had shouted something at me as he rejoined the fray. I couldn't understand a word of it of course but it certainly made me feel much better. Sadly, I was still rooted to the spot and unable to take up a more tactical position, behind someone else.

I was temted to blast the distant group of zombies in order to hopefully finish them off but unable to move as I was, slowing the closer group seemed a much more sensible option so, looking the wight in what might once have been it's eyes, I gathered my will and immolated him with a pillar of flame an angry dragon would have been proud of.

Scorching burst, centered on wight

How ya doing, buddy?

The sight of zombies being lit on fire for the fourth consecutive time is difficult to describe. It beggars description, truly. I assure you that it's very impressive.

10 damage to wight, Zombies F, H & J
All excepting H bloodied
Mobility restored

The zombies continue meandering forward, as zombies do.

Zombie D wanders over and gives Bob a smack upside the head.

8 damage; Bob 15/4

Zombie F hands out a beating to Motsognir.

12 damage; Motsognir 4/8 (bloodied)

Zombie G swings at Argumentus and Zombie H tries to finish off Motsognir, but they both miss.

The wight looks around in confusion, brushing ash from its face. "You bastards, what have you done with Jenkins?" He tries to send Motsognir flying, but the dwarf manages to brace himself.

Motsognir, Argumentus, Brigid, Gabriel, Bob, Zombies, Wight

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sweet Yogsothoth, that was too close. You'll be out of it after another brush like that, Soggy, Motsognir thought to himself. Just remember what the shrink told you. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. "I CAN DO IT!" he shouted, hopefully confusing the deadites surrounding him.

Second Wind
Speak Inspiring Words To Myself
Viper's Strike Zombie F

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Shaking off the worst of his injuries, Motsognir hacks away at Zombie F. This one, at least, seems close to falling.

10 damage to Zombie F
Motsognir 21/6
Brady

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Argumentus moves one square east.

Argumentus strikes zombie G cleaving into zombie F

Argumentus smirks

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Argumentus' hammer tears through the zombies like wet paper, reducing everything above their waists to so much dust. Decayed giblets spatter down in a refreshing drizzle.

Critical Hit!
Zombies F & G destroyed.


I was speaking idiomatically.

Righteous Brand at zombie D with str bonus to Gabriel

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Brigid's sickle slashes open the zombie, leaving a gaping wound for her allies to exploit.

11 damage to Zombie D (bloodied)
Gabriel isn't quite within 5 squares but I'll allow it.

Gabriel, Bob, Zombies, Wights, Motsognir, Argumentus, Brigid

FELIPE NO

The dwarf felt his courage bolstered, even if from a great distance. He'd already felled one wight, and now it was time for another. He sprinted upwards and then feinted to his left before suddenly launching his tiny body towards the right. Screaming like a banshee, he flew at the creature with all the force of Kord's own fist, his axe descending in a vicious arc.

Up three spaces, diagonal up two spaces to draw parallel with the wight.
Try out that thar Radiant Smite
Get eaten by zombies for my trouble.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Gabriel roars in fury, and his axe ignites with the holy fire of Kord himself. The wight screams in agony as Kord's rage burns it down to ash.

_4 axe damage
_3 axe damage
_2 STR damage
_2 WIS damage
_2 feat damage
_1 Enhancement damage
+5 radiant vulnerability damage
-------------------------
19 damage, wight destroyed

Adding up numbers is very uplifting

Bob, Zombies, Motsognir, Argumentus, Brigid, Gabriel

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I blasted the group of zombies again, before ducking away from the one trying to eat the child.

Scorching burst on zombie C, then shift one square west

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Burnination continues. The Day of Total Burning must surely be at hand.

10 damage to Zombies B, C, J

The eight remaining zombies blunder into the party, flailing away. Between the lot of them, they only get one credible hit. It'd almost be funny if it wasn't so foul-smelling.

10 damage to Motsognir (11/6)

Motsognir, Argumentus, Brigid, Gabriel, Bob, Zombies

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Motsognir swung a mighty swing at the closest Zombie, then ran like an elf. Away from the fray.

Warlord's Favor on Zombie H, with bonus to Argumentus
move to west side of room

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Motsognir hacks away and prepares to leg it.

7 damage to Zombie H (bloodied)

As he turns to hurry away, two zombies hammer away at his back. Motsognir grunts in pain, and falls heavily to the floor.

19 damage
Motsognir unconscious, prone, bloodied and dying (-8/6)
First save vs. death: failed

Argumentus, Brigid, Gabriel, Bob, Zombies, Motsognir

Most amazing jew boots

Watching his 'lil buddy crumple to the floor caused Argumentus to grow angry. ANGRY WITH RAGE!

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHGH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA

HRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAGH

Argumentus becomes unstoppable
Argumentus begins passing attack on Zombie I, shifting one square East to follow through to zombie H

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Roaring furiously, Argumentus wades into the melee. He smacks aside a zombie without hesitation, and smashes another. Their silly weapons cannot harm him.

Argumentus gains 12 temporary HP
14 damage to Zombie I, destroying it
10 damage to Zombie H

Brigid, Gabriel, Bob, Zombies, Motsognir, Argumentus

FELIPE NO

"Now ain't no time to be takin' a nap! Get up, there's still doin's transpirin'!"

Righteous Brand at Zombie D with bonus to (now in-range) Gabriel
Shift two square south, 'cause shifting is the new walking
Healing Word on Motsognir

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Brigid backs away from the zombies, hacking away to cover her retreat. She berates Motsognir for his laziness, and he opens his eyes grudgingly.

6 damage to Zombie D
Motsognir restored to consciousness; 4 HP and prone

Gabriel, Bob, Zombies, Motsognir, Argumentus, Brigid

The dwarf adjusted Murray atop his head, looking around at the vicious circle of vicious undead drooling viciously viscous venom verily. The nearest of the zombies, we'll call him John, stopped drooling just long enough to speak in his halting way.

"What your name, dead man?"

The dwarf gripped his hammer tightly and growled a response. "Gabriel Sledgehammer."

"That silly name," the zombie burbled through a jaw that was half hanging off.

"It's not my real name actually. My agent told me my given name just didn't have star quality." The dwarf straightened, lowering his guard slightly.

"What was name?" The zombie seemed actually intrigued.

"Rex Fortune, Adventure Seeker." The dwarf replied.

The zombie looked quizzical for a moment before his eye fell out, then he pointed at the skull, asking a question without actually asking a question.

"Him? Oh. That's Murray. The invincible demonic force." Came the reply.

And then John was a zombie.

So Gabriel cut his fucking head off.

And then Gabriel shuffled back a step and a half, pointing the axe at another zombie and calling out: "Yo, she bitch! Let's go."

Valiant Strike on John (zombie E)
Shuffle down-left one square
Divine Challenge on Zombie D

There's nowhere I can't reach.

His mind clearly deteriorating under the stress of his imprisonment, Gabriel carries on a one-sided conversation with a senseless corpse. One can only imagine the nightmarish debates taking place within this man's tortured psyche. Decapitating the very revenant he was shouting at, he immediately whirls around and addresses another. Clearly unhinged. Dangerous.

14 damage to Zombie E
Zombie D marked by Gabriel

Bob, Zombies, Motsognir, Argumentus, Brigid, Gabriel

Concerned about the zombie right in front of me, I dodged back and froze it with a Forst Ray.

Shift one square west, Ray of Frost on zombie D

How ya doing, buddy?

Bob coolly lays down some frost on the burnt and battered zombie. Truly, an ice burn.

10 damage to Zombie D

Zombie A blunders forward and interrupts Gabriel's ongoing monologue with a fist full of hot undead violence.

8 damage to Gabe (26/9)

Having finally caught back up with the halfling who threw him across the room, Zombie C uses Maul. It's Super Effective!

13 damage to Brigid (1/8, bloodied)

Compelled by a mysterious force to smack the nearest paladin in the head, Zombie D dutifully does so.

7 damage to Gabriel (19/9)
