Yeah we can do that. I have a bunch of oil as well, so it's not a precious resource.2: Return to the Monastery of the Iron God

The combined assault of the Horace, Eagerwish, and Theo is enough to crush yet another skeleton, but more continue to pour forth. A plan to torch them with burning oil begins hatching in a matter of moments. Meanwhile, another skeleton comes forth and finds Horace in his path. A series of attacks are halted by the paladin's shield.
OOC:
You know that burning oil works as a weapon when the flask is lit and the oil coats a creature. Leaving a burning ground will do no real damage, though it might stop more intelligent creatures from pursuing.Rolls

Sweet. I realize now I do not actually have a means of lighting an oil flask...when it rolls around to Medwyn's action, he'll ask one of his companions for a light and chuck a flaming flask into the cluster of skeletons. By the way @cowleyc, are you just keeping track of init., rounds, etc. behind the screen, or are we being somewhat loosey-goosey with action order in combat? Just want to make sure I'm not blurting out actions out of turn or anything.Last edited April 20, 2023 3:09 am

I just went back a couple pages, to figure out how badly we screwed up letting the GM know what our light-source was... But the good news is Theo had handed Medwyn his lantern, at some point. I think that means he is all set to launch a Molotov at these triflin' skellies.Apr 20, 2023 1:34 pm

Due to the asynchronous nature of PbP, I think we're going a little loosey-goosey with THIS combat. But I have a system on my side that I'm using to keep everything organized.Apr 21, 2023 1:16 am

Cool, cool. I was curious also because I'm still refining my approach to combat in my Old School Essentials game here.Apr 22, 2023 12:27 am
The lit flask flies into the next room and crashes onto one of the skeletons. The creature bursts into flames which char the bones, but the stoic figure does not scream. It does not seem to recognize the pain, though its movements do slow. Meanwhile, the dwarf who had been watching this unfold and struggling to find his place in the formation leaps into action and starts slashing away with his enchanted shovel; it strikes the lead skeleton with a powerful blow, and the enchantment flares as the undead crumbles into death.

Eagerwish and Horace to attack. Let me know if this is dragging. I'm still pondering ways to handle this situation better.Rolls

The newly erupted flames emanating from the skeleton in the next room lash out as Eagerwish and Horace attempt to attack, and it distracts them enough that they are unable to land a killing blow on the skeleton in the room. It turns towards Eagerwish and lashes out with a violent blow, cutting into the man's leathers. In the next room, the quickly blackening skeleton collapses under failing necromantic energy, the flames continuing to burn it to bony ash.
It is your turns again. You are all doing great, only four skeletons left.

Looks like I made an extra attack, out of turn. Though it was a miss, I think it's only fair that it be used for this next turn.Apr 25, 2023 12:28 pm
Wilric winced as the skeleton strikes past Eagerwish‘s shield biting into the Druid. He pushes it a side and releases another couple of arrows, hoping that bringing down the undead will save those in front of him and hence himself . . .

Another skeleton drops from Czespecem's enchanted shovel, and he feels a renewed vigor towards the divine quest he has been tasked with! Behind it, a skeleton is met with an arrow that slams into and breaks several bones; a blazing flask of oil flies into the room and crashes into the stone floor, spreading a quickly burning blaze that isn't enough to damage anything or anyone.

Three skeletons left, one is damaged. Eagerwish to act.load next
