Edrahil looked to his left as the Dunadan soldier Dirnhael had sent to them climbed up to the broken bridge. The elf could immediately see the mortal wound the man bore - though he might not have known it himself. An arrow had pierced his link armor and was buried deep in the man's chest - blood covering the front of him and getting worse with each beat of his slowing heart.

The elf stared, now in a quandry - the soldier needed his healing hands but his dwarven comrades were now hard pressed within the corridor entrance of the donjon. As he reached the top stair, the man slumped down to sit, his arms hanging limp on either side and his weapon loose in his hand.

OOC: Hey Shawn, sorry about this but I forgot to inform you that one of your two soldiers was heavily wounded with 4 HITS (-7 penalty and 1 HIT from death) and I assumed you'd want the more Hale one with you!  :D

Many of his men had been lost so far, though he was unaware, but the time they had given him had allowed he and his second to gather their armor and weapons. Now ready, Arkish, the Ashaktur, stepped out into the hallway of his castle to confront his attackers. He only hoped that his men upon the battlements fared well and that his messengers had gotten through.

"I am Arkish!" he yelled, "And you shall suffer by my hand this night!"

Both Lunduf and Nain could see in his hand a cruel looking sword that glowed with an un-earthly light. From the other side of the hall, another man stepped into the hall - he was also armed and girded for combat.

In the Donjon

The Ashaktur and his henchmen stepped between their men, allowing them room to stab by them on either side with their great polearms, and attacked the two dwarves that tried to invade. The large hallway was filled with swingings swords, axes and long stabbing spears.

Fengel's initiative for round 6 at the tower

(2D6+3) = Roll(2d6)+3: 2,4,+3 Total:9


OOC - Doug, I posted my parries and attacks under round 5

[Wiseman]

Initiative: Roll(2d6)+2: 4,5,+2 Total:11

His cherished blade in his hand Daelhun swung into action. He was more skilled with the blade than the bow and it showed right away, with his blade slashing out at the two new enemies that had engaged them in hand-to-hand combat.

AC +9, Specialty +2, Dim Light -3, (AA -5)
Action 1 - Drop bow and draw sword
Action 2 - AC1: Roll(2d6)+11: 4,5,+8 Total:17 (Easterling 16)
Action 3 - AC2: Roll(2d6)+6: 6,6,1,+3 Total:16 (Easterling 16)

[GandalfOfBorg]

Initiative - (4+2)+2=8

Durgil presses his advantage now against both of the Easterlings, eager to remove their threat.

AC: Blades - (6+2)+6+3-3=14  OOC: I've been forgetting my sword's bonuses
Damage: (6+4)+5+1+1=17
UC: Brawling - (6+5)+3-3=11 (one closest to edge, wants to shove him off the ledge)
Opposed Strength test - (6+5)+1=12

OOC: Doug, if you could if you get a chance, add my sword's info to Durgil's character sheet.   Thanks

[Stefan]

Feeling a sudden terrible Un-dwarflike urge to run at the sight of the two seasoned warriors coming down the hall, Nain takes a deep breath and sets himself against the abuse that he knows is to come.  

Knowing that he would be hard pressed to defend himself against the blows, he instead trusts his armor and his natural dwarves stoutness to see him through while he in turn attacks with all his might.

Actions:
Attack
(2d6) 6,5 +6 =17
Damage
(2d6) 1,5 +9 =15

Attack
(2d6) 4,4 +6 =14
Damage
(2d6) 4,3 +9 =16

Damage taken after Armor 19 moves Nain to Dazed but Hardy Edge overcomes penalty.

Initiative
(2d6) 5,4 +2 =11

Cool Carl... you killed the Easterling in the tower that you climbed. That was the only one, so you can do what you want to do...

OOC: Doug, if you could if you get a chance, add my sword's info to Durgil's character sheet. Thanks

All done Matt... you will just have to wait for th eupload by Wiseman, he should have it up either tomorrow or the next day.

His cherished blade in his hand Daelhun swung into action. He was more skilled with the blade than the bow and it showed right away, with his blade slashing out at the two new enemies that had engaged them in hand-to-hand combat.

AC +9, Specialty +2, Dim Light -3, (AA -5)
Action 1 - Drop bow and draw sword
Action 2 - AC1: Roll(2d6)+11: 4,5,+8 Total:17 (Easterling 16)
Action 3 - AC2: Roll(2d6)+6: 6,6,1,+3 Total:16 (Easterling 16)

Hey Shawn, I edited your attacks as such to account for your weapon change and for the fact that on the thin walk you can only attack one of the Easterlings - Durgil is attacking the other.
