gonna be parrying again so waiting for hound attacks

[tomcat]

Waiting on Madoc here.

[GandalfOfBorg]

Durgil waivered a bit at the howl but, as running was no longer an option, he stood his ground to protect his friend waiting for the others to arrive.


While we're waiting I'll just toss out my actions...

AC (LS) - Roll(2d6)+7: 6,4,+5 Total:15 +1 Courage = 18 to parry Attack #1
AC (LS) - Roll(2d6)+7: 6,5,+5 Total:16 to parry Attack #3

Attack #2 gets through.

In the flurry of action and mist, Durgil watched as his companion boke in panic and ran. It was probably the worst thing the man could do for certainly these evil hounds would run him down and then he would be at their mercy on the ground. He tried to cry out and bolster Madoc's courage but it was too late, he was gone and the beasts attacking Durgil were relentless. Their gnashing teeth snapped at any vital opening.

Riding hard, the remaining companions could now easily see the shadows of friends in the mist. Edrahil drew upon the mana of Middle-earth while nocked arrow to string and let fly the missile.

Suddenly the voice of Edrahil is heard above all, "Get thee down curs of Angmar!"

The evil hounds all draw back and cower and look to one another for some sort of guidance. Two of the creatures give a yipe and flee. Around Madoc and Durgil, it is as if the very land itself heeds the Sindar for the thick mist abates and gives them a better view of their adversaries.

Updated post above per the hounds attacks.

[Nolmir]

  Sorry for the absence, guys. For some reason, the reply emails weren't getting through to my inbox. Anyway, is there anything I need to do in the meantime?

[tomcat]

No, Nolmir, you are fine for this round.

Durgil suffers 4 damage after armor that reduces him to Injured -3.

I am just waiting to see if Dirnhael, Celdrahil, or Ginnar have any ranged attacks they can/want to make, otherwise I will move on to round 3.

[GandalfOfBorg]

 
no for ginnar
