The Wayfarer's Inn

Seeing Elmo bleed, Ivid spits blood on the stone floor and curses again,
darning every single deity from Istus to Hextor...

His face red hot, he pulls out a smaller, black quicker, takes up his trusted bow lays one of the new arrows on it:
Black as the night, with the polished head seeming to emit its own light.

"This arrow killed a king. It will be enough for you, soulless servants of doom!"

And then he shoots the nearest mummy in the head...

Testing one of the +2 arrows!

Sorry for the delay, but I'd like want to wait another few hours if Mark posts before continuing, especially because of Ahi's question. In case he doesn't, I'll decide for Asterion then and will post later today.

Please tell me whether I should wait longer until everyone has posted. I'm not impatient, I simply want to avoid that this game starts to drag along like most other online games that I know. This is even more important for combat situations that use up a lot of time. I think that we have good and steady posting frequency up to now and would like to keep it that way.

Besides, I only now found out that the board allows me to upload files to the posting - very cool!

Round 4

The party wins initiative.

In response to Ahi's call, Asterion steps forward and touches Kherim with his staff of curing, healing the paladin 13 hps this way.

Obviously quickened because of the curing, Kherim slashes furiously at the mummy in front of him, hitting it three times (25 points of damage in total) and cutting deep grooves into its iron flesh, but not bringing it down yet.

Sol to his left fights equally well and finally cuts mummy #12 into pieces that instantly turn to bone.

Neith doesn't grant Ahi the favor of a third disruption in order, but his blow with the Uas rod is a terrible one for the mummy nonetheless. Staggering, it remains on its feet, showing a deep indentation where the rod has hit it.

Ivid steps up a bit and carefully aims at mummy #3, loosing only one of his precious arrows this time instead of a full volley. The black arrow flies and sinks deep into the iron body of the mummy as into flesh (I rolled a 14 for to hit) and causing 11 points of damage - still not enough for this mummy.


Seven iron mummies are left, and they mindlessly continue to press on you, flailing with their fists.

Mummy #11 attacks Sol, hitting him once for damage 7.
Mummy #5 attacks Ahi and hits both times for a total of 16 points of damage.
Mummy #3 attacks Kherim and hits once for 8 points of damage.

Kherim feels relief at the healing touch of Asterion's staff yet the fight continues at a furious pace and he is forced to match that pace. Seeing so many foes still before them he decides to change his strategy a bit. Slamming his sword into it's scabbard even whilst holding his shield before him to counter the mummies blows, he grasps the oddly engraven horn that hangs from his waist and raises it to his lips whilst at the same time pushing his way forward so that Ahi is to his side, then the paladin lets loose a mighty blast upon the horn sending a concussive wave of sound out before him to sweep through the ranks of the iron guardians!

OOC: stepping up beside Ahi and attempting to use the Horn of Blasting.

Sighing, Ivid puts another magic arrow on the bow,
but first shouts to his companions:

"Doesn't anybody have a spell that would safe us the mess?!"

Sol will continue his assault on mummy #11. Continuing to try to push up to where he is beside Ahi.

Two attacks this round with adjustments (to hit/damage): 20/10 & 13/13.
