Breaking the Siege - Round 6

[tomcat]

Second Wind has been one of our House Rule maneuvers since we started this game. Are you not allowing it as Loremaster?

[Eclecticon]

On comes the brutish thing with the deceptive speed of sudden floodwaters, brushing aside Hathcyn's harassing strikes.  It is stopped, momentarily, by the ferocity of Grimbeorn's challenge, and for a moment doubt fills its eyes.  Then, locking eyes with the Wolfslayer, it bellows in response "I'LL SQUASH YER BODY, EAT YER HEAD AN' CRAP OUT YER TEETH!"

As it advances, shivered club raised high in horny-skinned hand for to drive the Son of Beorn like a nail into the earth, Grimbeorn feels the corpse-song of whatever vile spirit has come to dwell within the still-warm body of the shieldmaiden seize him.  His limbs, neck, hands, even his mighty lungs all stiffen as a sorcerous grip takes them...


Grimbeorn needs to pass a Corruption test (TN 14) to shake off the effect of some Dreadful Spells:

1d12 : 4, total 4
Rolled 5d6 : 5, 1, 3, 2, 4, total 15

[Eclecticon]

Well, that's an easy pass.  Now the troll strikes (TN 14!):

1d12 : 12, total 12
Rolled 3d6 : 1, 1, 5, total 7

[Eclecticon]

Though subtle are the arts of the Enemy, still the Shadow has no hold on the heart of this prince of Men.  At the cry of his follower and friend, he springs forth from the hold of dark magic, leaping aside as the troll's club hurls clods of earth skyward from where he stood!
