Will the Party remain to collect the loot?

[Palathadric]

"Somebody collect the fallen items. I can't help but think that Krampus may have been carrying something useful in that bag of his." I say hastily, then turn to the others. "Where's Grunch and Mux?"

Without waiting for a reply, I race down in the direction of the tunnel from which Vind and I came.

[-obelix-]

"You all can go ahead and see what is going on in the other tunnel, I'll be fine. We will distribute this later." He says, pointing at what the enemies dropped before the party.

Thalion remains behind and collect all the loot - to be distributed later. Then he rolls the die until he is lucky, uses an Ether Core on himself and rushes to the other tunnel and joins the rest of the party. If he becomes jinxed, he uses a remedy on himself before heading to the other tunnel.

[Asphalt]

Pretzal, Wait for the rest of them.  We know we cannot defeat that mob on our own.  We have failed the younglings once already this day.  Let us not do it again.

Quickly collect and distribute the spoils.  WE must reach the children before it is too late.

Seeing Thallion gather the lot Vindsval moves to catch up with Monk.  Hurrying down the tunnel to the children.

Matthias takes off after Preztel and Vindsval, saying a prayer to Orrik that the children would be unharmed and casting a nurturing net of metallic ether over Mux while downing a tonic on the run.

[Waterbrick Down]

Grunch and Mux already having exited the tunnel meetup with Monk and Vindsval in the side tunnel. Upon coming up on the prisoners, the group sees the children attacking their captors. Two of the orcs lie motionless on the ground and one of the elves looks badly wounded.


"What they're back?"

Typical anti-greenskin QM here, only the orc children are dead, and one of them doesn't even have a name.  

Matthias hears the fighting in front of him and redoubles his double time down the corridor.

[Waterbrick Down]

Monk Pretzel advances on one of the automaton but takes a serious blow from the mechanation's tri-dazer weakening the Artisan. Vindsval stabs at one of the dwarves as Grunch and Mux tackle the other robot. Matthias rushes forward to join the group, his ether reserves slightly restored as Lindy falls in front of one of the Dark Dwarves who kicks at the child with his boot.

I attack Automaton B with Heaven and Hell while Dual-Striking Dwarf A from the Front Row.

Is Matthias' exclusion a mistake or intentional?

OOC: why was Dwarf A given a free hit?  He was targeted by a player.  That is why I had both Grunch and Mux target the same automaton because everyone else was covered. Also, how was Vindsval's Critical Hit calculated?  WP X2 +level= 16X2=32 (arm) X2=64+37=101+8=109 X2 (elemental) =218/2 (back row)=109  Then the poison and burning for a total of 124 points.  Or am I still doing the math wrong.

Edited April 4, 2017 by Asphalt

[Palathadric]

Dual-Striking does not count as targeting.

I repeat my attack.

"Grunch, please take on Dwarf B and Mux, take Automaton A. Giant, you should try to make Dwarf A bleed too."

[Asphalt]

I did not realize that.  I'm sorry I screwed that up.

My Pleasure. Vindsval's mouth pulls up in a sneer as he faces off against the first dwarf.

Matthias unloads explosives at Dwarf B.

> Matthias: Extraordinaire v. Dwarf B

[Waterbrick Down]

Monk Pretzel manages to land a hit on the Automaton and Dark Dwarf, but the monsters fight back with ferocity. Vindsval is stabbed through his armor as a piercing shot catches him in the side. Grunch takes a nasty gash across his torso as Mux fails to bite through the heavy armor plating of the Automatons. Matthias manages to fire off a glancing shot at the advancing enemies for marginal damage.

I throw a Sleep Bomb and then Dual-Strike Automaton B.

Grunch drinks Grand Potion. Mux repeats.

"Matthias, try to heal the Giant."

Just a question, will sealing Dark Dwarf A prevent him from calling for help?

QM Note: It will not, note that Sealed means that the Enemies' rolls of SPECIAL DAMAGE will miss not that they won't occur.

[StickFig]

"I'm on it, Master Monk," Matthias replies, summing ether to pour into Half-Born.

> Matthias: Heal (XX Replica) v. Vindsval

[Asphalt]

Vindsval pulls the shaft from his side and throws it to the ground.  He spits a trickle of black blood from his mouth and once again advances on the First Dwarf.

A foul strike my friend.

I meant it more from the angle that it would seal his mouth shut.  

When will Thalion show up?

Okay, I edited my action.

"Giant, help me dual-strike Automaton B with your Twin Sai from the front if the Druid succeeds in healing you. Otherwise, from the back row with Verkener."

Note, if Asphalt doesn't get on to confirm again, please use my action as otherwise he would wake up the Dwarf which would be pointless.

Edited April 5, 2017 by Palathadric

[Asphalt]

I no longer follow the path of the witchery way.  But I will follow your instruction Human.

If Healed

Vindsval Attacks Automaton B with Ludeas from the Front Row.

If not Healed

Vindsval Attacks Automaton B with Verkenner from the Back Row.
