Descending the Temple Depths (OOC)

Pretty much.

One unarmed skeleton knocked to the ground and surrounded. Deoring and Roald are right there, and the captain and Albert, and Rook are a few strides away (so close enough to step up for melee). Asha is hanging back, but will fit in with the action once things start moving.

Four Skeleton guards with rusty swords (it looks like, hard to be sure about the far ones in the dim light). Two at the far door and two close enough to engage right away.

Dirk has split the close two up as well, so you all could try dispatch the grounded one, then quickly move to the close guard and deal with it on its own, before deciding about the one and two. If the dice don't go well the far guards will arrive and you will have to deal with them at the same time, else you can pick them off.

Deoring: It sounds like you are attacking (with STR)? Toss a roll on that post, and we will see how it goes.

Done - I rolled a 6. This should be interesting.

Albert: It sound like you are basically attacking Dirk's skeleton?
You described a rather complicated manoeuvre while also trying to do it at a distance, what are you trying to achieve? 'lever or a crowbar to break the bones' sounds like damage?

Maybe you need to roll for the attack (if that is what it is) but you might first need to roll for maintaining your distance? Maybe on a 10+ you can both roll to attack and keep the spores out of your lungs, while on a 7-9 you can choose one or the other, and a 6-... well, you can guess.

Maybe add that to your post? You can follow up with an attack (with roll) or evade (no roll) in a subsequent post.

That's basically it, yes :)
I like the idea of first seeing if I can manage to keep distance. I'll roll to see if I'm dexterous enough to actually do what I wanted to. Then I'll use strength to attack is possible.

Sound good?

Sounds good.

It's a 10. Raynor is with me! (so far)

Hopefully your attack is similarly blessed. Narrate and roll it.

Albert, add a damage roll to the post and we will take it from there.

Please roll `1d6,1d6` rather than `d6` for some reason that will become apparent soon.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. For the damage roll or for future actions?

Sorry. :)

Yes, roll `1d6,1d6` for this damage roll.

No problem :)
It's been added

Not bad.

Ooh, cool stuff :)

Ayy an 11! Raynor is with me as well!

Indeed.

Roll us some damage. You can also roll `1d6,1d6` for this.

Rook: I assume you are going to the doorway you came in from, and not the closed-and-guarded door? (or one of the other unutilised >=three)

Are you attacking mowhawk-skele? It is still quite far away and hard to see. If you are attacking, roll it, if you are looking around for targets, no need to roll.

This is not DnD where 1 HP is as good as full, but it may still benefit you guys to focus fire and try to get some of the enemy dealt with while you have them spit up. They are (quasi-) mindless undead, with nowhere to go, so don't expect these foes to flee from the fight.

The door guards are a bit distracted, so if you wanted to work on the door (and get out of this room) that might be an option. Not that I am --in no way-- recommending this course of action, and make no promises that opening the door won't just expose you to even more foes on the other side... But it is an option (and the dice may bless you) if that is what you were after.

- Deoring -

If you want to try stomping the downed skeleton, make a roll.

I am thinking Athletics probably applies here.

Should I add the roll to my post or make a new post?

It is part of that post. Add it there.
