OOC:
@Redwhippet Duri would probably be just behind To'Mas as the only remaining melee character. This would mean that he needs to get past Jasen and Josen in order to run, which is certainly possible (and a nice way to let us know about his character), however he would leave two remaining ranged characters to deal with a melee character.

Do you still want to proceed with the escape? Otherwise the Initiative order would be as follows (I rolled for Duri in previous post):

Esidrix: Jasen, Josen
Redwhippet: Duri
Allen Merritt

Jasen and Josen, being hunters have seen death before and To'mas was kind of a mouthy twit for a wanna be knight. Josen silently notes he lost the bet on whether To'mas would live long enough to kill anything. Ah well, wasn't the first copper he'd lost to Jasen.

With a knowing glance, the cousins put a dozen steps between them and Allen, knowing he'll need to step over the no more knight to get to them. With a practiced eye (that usually works with deer) the lads loose again at this villian.
OOC:
I feel like one of those is a hit.

Untaken: Duri


One of the arrows strikes through, hitting Allen in the shoulder. The man screeches with pain, stumbling and giving the group time to create more distance.
OOC:
It is indeed a hit!
Will wait to confirm Duri is creating more distance with the group - the hunters should now be in the previous room, still able to shoot into the passage.

Entrance to the Grinder Below@Orobu: Victoria, Hekem, Lorna
@Esidrix: Wyna


The group is interrupted mid-conversation by the sound of a man yelling in pain, coming from the direction in which To'mas, Jasen, Josen and Duri went!

OOC:
I understood Duri was at the back and would cause a mess trying to get to the front.
Duri seizing the moment rushes Allen "ARRRGH!" swinging his stonemasons hammer down towards the man's head.

Slim was as ready as he could ever be.


Grinder Entrance
Hekem was first to react. "Feck that!" Victoria snaps back. "Wyna, stay here and don't let this door close. Hekem I will pay you." Hekem looks harsh at Victoria, then arches an eyebrow. "You'd better Lassy." Hekem starts down the ladder, followed by Victoria, and then Lorna. Hekem, with his Darkvision, and Victoria will try to figure out where the others went, hoping that some of the other groups are coming back soon.

@Redwhippet so just to clarify - Duri is attacking in the end, even though the brothers retreated? I will rule on whether he hit or not after your decision :)

OOC:
That would be a fumble for Adric! I will write up the results after all rolls are made.

The Grinder BelowEsidrix: Jasen, Josen, Wyna
Redwhippet: Duri
Orobu: Victoria, Hekem, Lorna


As the hunters flee from Allen Merritt, Duri stands his ground. Striking over a fallen comrade, he hits his foe with a mighty blow!
Meanwhile, Victoria, Hekem, Lorna and Wyna dash into the first of the rooms. A quick look reveals Jasen and Josen in the room to the right, however doors creak from the left!
"Hee?"
A mountain of a man stands in the door, holding a massive club. Two goat-like eyes stare from a tangled mess of hair and beard in a short moment of confusion, quickly replaced with aggression. The Tangled man then lunges forward at the group!
OOC:
We will keep the current Initiative order for both fights in the Grinder to prevent confusion, which would mean the turns go as follows:

Esidrix: Jasen, Josen, Wyna
Redwhippet: Duri

Enemy NPCs (Allen Merritt, Wilbur Curwen, the Tangled man)

The new fight will start after the end of this round!
Rolls
@Redwhippet please roll 1d4 damage for Duri's attack and a 1d4+1 for Adric's fumble
@Orobu please roll a 1d20+1 for Initiative for the fight in the Grinder

The townsfolk charge the dark mass of arms and legs and the demon responds with a blood-chilling screech. He meets the attackers with raised fists and manages to hit Adric, lifting the poor man of his feet and knocking him prone.
The others manage to get past the demon's defense and attack. Both Vincent and Odric burrow their weapons into the beast's flesh, awarded by another blood-chilling scream and splashes of dark blood.
Others follow soon. Beladil and Mother Breadwife both join the attackers, slashing and piercing.
Finally, Slim Jim manages to run past all and burrow his longsword into the back of the beast with a mighty swing. The hit gets the demon reeling and it stumbles onto Adric, crushing the poor man under its weight.

The demonic child now lays on the floor, bleeding profusely. It is clear that one good hit may very well end its life.
OOC:
I believe there is no point in everyone rolling as you managed to deal whopping 25 points of damage in a single round. @Redwhippet you are first in Initiative, care to do the honors and roll the possibly final attack rolls?
The attack roll should be a simple 1d20 for 0-level characters.

The Grinder BelowEsidrix: Jasen, Josen, Wyna
Redwhippet: Duri
Orobu: Victoria, Hekem, Lorna


Duri lands his hammer directly into Allen's face, crushing the man's skull and killing him instantly. Wilbur screams with horror upon seeing his father-in-law crumble to the ground and tries to hit Duri with his staff!
The weapon hits the ceiling of the tunnel, loosing its momentum and missing the dwarf by a few inches.

Another person appears in the room from which Allen and Wilbur came - most would easily recognize pregnant Eliza Merritt, leaning on a staff and trying to get a sneak peek onto the fight.
OOC:
Top of the round everyone! We will go one by one in this fight in order for some not to attack already dead characters, the Initiative order is as follows:

Esidrix: Jasen, Josen, Wyna
Redwhippet: Duri
Orobu: Victoria, Hekem, Lorna
Enemy NPCs (Wilbur Curwen, the Tangled man, Eliza Merritt)

Which would mean @Esidrix is up!

Please note that any ranged attack into the melee is at -2 modifier (so the roll would be a 1d20-2 for the attack). Any missed ranged attack would have a 50% chance to hit an ally!
Jasen and Josen should not be able to notice the Tangled Man yet.

Is it possible for my crew to hold action to give Duri a chance to fall back? And then fire when he's clear.
"Duri, fall back, we can surround him back here."
Aug 6, 2022 2:16 pm
OOC:
Esidrix sure! I am moving you back in the Initiative, which means @Redwhippet is up!
Aug 6, 2022 5:38 pm
Lorna screams as she sees the Tangled man. Victoria trying to keep her wits best about her was about to spot Jasen and Josen, calling for her group of new arrivals to move. "Get to the others! Lorna, take Wyna... we will cover you." She had no idea how well this would work, but placing herself and Hekem between Lorna and Wyna, they would try to make their way to Jasen and Josen and use the smaller hallway.

[I'm not sure where is initiative, lmk]
