Descending the Temple Depths (OOC)

Got a hit, but pretty low damage. That might not be the final blow

On a 10+ you could choose to take a hit in return for another strike, or choose to remain safe.

Above average damage numbers will end this. If you are heroic in your conquest --and sufficiently credit Raynor with it-- you may even find yourself toughened by Raynor's blessings (gain the Tough Special Ability) for a while.

Below average damage will not 'kill' it and would not count as 'conquest', so there is a risk of death on this choice.

Or... Deoring can steal your kill and have to come with his own one-liner.

I'd like to do this with the slight difference that I'll give Deoring the 'free hit'. Albert will take the incoming strike of the skeleton. Is that allowed? :)
Comradery is just as important as conquest!

Yes ... but only if you both deliver suitable one-liners. :)

@TrailHead, are you up for the challenge? We can do one of those where one gives the setup and the other hits it home :D

I’m game. T me up and I’ll try to close the deal. Good luck!

"Split the order". Nice one :D

Somehow we rolled the exact same numbers in a slightly different order. Freaky!

Exact same 'below average damage', so the skeleton still stands. :(

Are we making use of the offered bonus attack? Deoring rolled his own attack (and got a partial), so it might make more sense for Albert to take the 10+ (instead of turning that into effectively a 7-9) and hope for another 10+ so there are no consequences for him.

What is Roald doing? Still playing the defence game? Or joining the one-liner game to finish this?

Yeah, I saw that, but then I also started to doubt whether or not there was an attack roll needed.
Up to him, I'm fine with taking the damage. Alternatively, we can have Deoring's 7-9 result affect Albert instead, as I already mentioned I'd take the hit. Kinda combining the 2 possibilities.

Oh, I guess I misunderstood. Sorry, I thought I was taking the free hit. Shoot. I guess I should have asked for clarification. Was I supposed to just roll damage without a "to hit" roll?

And I am fine with Deoring taking a consequence for my 7-9 roll.

Funny stuff! Keep 'm coming

Is that your one-line?! You don't want them to keep coming!!

Well... They kinda are... Aren't they?

Rolling +DEX seems reasonable enough.

Thanks, that turned out very well!

Rook's idea is viable.

Yes, but is it viable for Albert? :S
I think Albert would have to first check with Raynor whether he can just leave those things un-alive here. (some kind of resolve check?)

In the interest of keeping the game going, and not leading the party into more peril, I could ignore that fact. If people prefer to follow Rezart's idea.

Another option is splitting the party. Everyone always loves that :D

'viable' does not equate to 'advisable'.

If the players decide they want to do this, we can assume that Ryanor did not object? You are not running away, you are still going deeper into danger.

Can I assume that Albert manages to get in front of the others to shield them from the big skeleton?
My next action would be to try and cause fear on the skeleton using turn undead. So we have enough time to escape.
