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 4The 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.
