Hallway melee - round 4

[tomcat]

Situation: The company is attacked by the undead that reside in an old dwarven estate.

Situational Modifiers: The ghouls (mewlips) exude Terror that needs resisted with Willpower at TN 13, each round. Turumarth's spell is active and will give all PC's a +5 to resist Terror.

-Gumbo currently panicked -2
-Nori currentyl panicked -2
-Kori currently panicked -2

-Mewlip (M1) has taken 14 damage (Dazed -1)
-Mewlip (M3) has taken 19 damage (Injured -3)
-Mewlip (M2) has taken 10 damage (Dazed -1)
-Mewlip (M4) has taken 30 damage (Wounded -5)


The hallways are only 7' wide at most  - two combatants may stand and fight abreast with swinging weapons; polearm type weapons I will allow three, but if an enemy gets inside the pole length, you will have penalties to defend. Also, any weapon with a size of L (large) will suffer a -3 penalty to all actions.

Physical Modifiers: Moria Darkness will apply to all physical actions and PC's must apply their modifier for Total Darkness (minus any trait mods), unless the lanterns will be unmasked... and even then, all will be at -2.

Initiative:
Vári (+2) - 11
Turumarth (+2) - 11
Nori (+2) - 10
Idhriel (+3) - 10
Ghouls (+3) - 10
Gumbo (+3) - 8
Kori (+2) - 7



The Company swing their weapons in horror at the ghouls. The undead, feral creatures thrash and tear at those in front of them, while the others in back clambour over their companions and squeeze past the melee only to get at the remaining heroes behind the front line.

Just curious what were the results of round three? Did Idhriel actually hit any?

[donimator]

The comforting tingle of the magical weaves coursed through Turumarth's body as he thought of himself as bringing the two most effective weapons to bear against these creatrues - light and calm. The light at the end of his staff now swirled as attacked the lifeless foe before him. He continued to chant words of comfort and power almost without thought and beyond his linguistic skill when unaided by spell.

Hey Jared, it has been so long since round 2 happened, that I am going to kind of not worry about it. I looked through the thread to try and determine current situations and posted the monsters situation in our third round opening post. Otherwise, we are going to kind of pick up from here.

I will have new posts up tonight.

[tomcat]

Okay, I am going to give this a few more days to see if others chime in here. If not, I am going to re-structure the story and eliminate some PC's/NPC's.

It is very difficult to try and run a PbP game with a handful of characters that have no players posting for them, and I have to do their reactions, narratives, etc.

So, we'll see what happens and then I will move on the game. We may also have a new player wanting to jump in.

It was actually round three on this post here: http://rpg.avioc.org/boards/index.php/topic,673.msg9620.html#msg9620 I had what looked like a good hit, so was sort of hoping it'd stand. But if not, that's fine; I'm just glad we're playing again! Although I'm way out of practice with the CODA system! Time to pull out my book and dust it off.

  Am I still playing Nori?

Gumbo crouched lower behind his shield as the foul beasts began to naw at his will to continue the fight. The plucky hobbit dug deep and struck out at the creature before him deciding on fight instead of flight.

Yep

[Telcontar]

Nori looked deeply at the creature before him, trying to overcome his fear he thought of the weapon he held in his hands, Demon Fang. The great battleaxe would swat these foes away from him and clear the halls of his fathers.

What was the penalty for darkness here again for charcters that are night eyed?

[sdrotar]

Vári growled in disgust. "Foul creatures," he grumbled as he hacked at the hearest one with his axe.

***
Action 1: Attack nearest Mewlip (M3)
Vári's AC (Battle Axe) and mods = +14, -2 darkness (invalidated by Night-eyed edge?). TOTAL = +14
Roll(2d6)+14:6,3,+14 Total:23

He tried to swing in order to keep the undead from clawing at his feet; trying to hold his ground despite the chill that gnawed at his very bones.

Next Round Initiative: Roll(2d6)+0:6,6,+0 Total:12 (+2) 14

[donimator]

  I rolled a Parry (above) with a result of 14 - I believe that blocks the first attack? - TN14. Will hope for a miracle to block the second...

Turumarth's staff blow fell wide. His lack of use of it as a weapon coupled with the dim light was his downfall. He brought it up to just barely deflect the first of the creatures blows, but desperately hoped to fend off the second. (c'mon 6's)

Action 3 - Parry 2nd blow
Turumarth - Armed combat +2, staff spec. +2, staff Parry bonus +2, dim light -2, MAP -5

Rolled 2d6-1 : 6, 2 - 1, total 7

Action 2
Rolled 2d6+8 : 4, 4 + 8, total 16

I will post damage based on results.

Action 3: Parry attack (TN 18)
Vári's AC (Battle Axe) and mods = +14, -2 darkness (invalidated by Night-eyed edge?), no Parry bonus. TOTAL = +14
Roll(2d6)+14:4,1,+14 Total:19 - SUCCESS 

Action 4: Parry attack (TN 16)
Vári's AC (Battle Axe) and mods = +14, -2 darkness (invalidated by Night-eyed edge?), -5 4th Action, no Parry bonus. TOTAL = +9
Roll(2d6)+9:3,2,+9 Total:14 - FAIL
No Courage point use here - I have a bad feeling worse things are still to come...
