As the skeleton swings its scimitar, the zombie comes in and slams Wugruk with its surprisingly heavy arms, wrapping the dwarf in a deadly embrace.

OOC:

Wugruk is grabbed!

This allows the skeletons to land a couple shots.

OOC:

Let me know which one you block, if any.

Zombie damage - (1d6+3)

OOC:

I will shield block the 3 damage, reducing it to zero, no damage to shield or Wugruk. I then take 15 damage putting me at 4 of 22 health.

Wugruk growls loudly from within the zombies grasp, "Angradd lend me your strength!"

OOC:

There is no way I survive another round of attacks like that lol

Seeing the barrage of claws and hugs falling upon Wugruk, Errich shouts toward his companion, "Stay strong Wugruk, we'll get you out of this.". He grits his teeth and lets loose with another hail of arrows.

OOC:

Aiming for skeleton 2, then 1

OOC:

Is there a total defense option available that bumps ones AC up significantly, at the cost of taking no other actions?

OOC:

uh oh, why do I have a feeling that crit fail is bad news for Wugruk

OOC:

Nah, nothing happens on crit failures for strikes. Perhaps a more ruthless GM may incur a house rule of friendly fire =p

Unleashing his barrage, Errich's second shot flies straight into the skeleton's skull. The arrow shatters within the empty bone chamber, somehow interrupting the magic that powers this guardian. The skeleton collapses.

OOC:

Have a look at everything that's at your disposal. Inventory, actions, feats, hero points. I'll allow Errich to use a hero point to reroll the first attack if you'd like. Otherwise, Dante's turn.

As for defense actions, I've only found Take Cover and Raise Shield.

OOC:

I'll use my hero point ... and regret it shortly thereafter lol ... Sorry Wugruk!

OOC:

No problem, because I have a hero point, I can't technically 'die' the first time I hit dying 4, but if I go down I'd say be prepared for a very tactical retreat.

So we are on Dante now ya?

@Manhattan lmk if you'd like me to pilot in case things are crazy IRL. This goes for anyone. =)

OOC:

Sorry I missed it was my turn!

"Careful!" Dante says. "Let me help you, Wugruk!" He draws a protective glyph on Wugruk’s back, warding the incoming attacks.

OOC:

Action 1&2 Casting Forbidding Ward on Wugruk and the zombie.
Action 3 Casting Shield on self

Apr 28, 2023 5:06 pm

OOC:

Wugruk's turn. He's currently flat-footed (-2) but has the +1 from Dante's ward. You can try to escape the grab (note it counts as an attack and will incur MAP). Strike is still doable while grabbed, as far as I can tell, and won't suffer penalties (other than MAP).

Wugruk Battleborn

Apr 28, 2023 5:44 pm

Wugruk felt the warmth of the Forbidding Ward magic on his back, it gave him a little piece of mind but he was still stuck in this rotting monsters arms! "Filthy undead, release me!" he growled as he attempted to escape!

*After escaping*
Prying loose from the Zombie's grip Wugruk dropped to one knee for a mere moment before swinging up at the creature with his axe and once again raising his shield to try and defend himself "If I fall..." Wugruk said between breaths, "...return me to the forge fires from whence I came!"

OOC:

Going to take this one action at a time so there will be edits.
Action 1: Escape (I am going to assume I succeeded with a 22)
Action 2: Strike (-5) against Zombie
Action 3: Raise Shield

Wugruk's axe sinks with satisfaction into the zombie's festering flesh, and while it invokes little reaction from the creature, a good chunk of necrotic tissue splats onto the floor.

OOC:

The zombie seems particularly vulnerable to slashing attacks.

One skeleton steps into the front lines, and the zombie continues its insatiable pursuit.

OOC:

Two successes, damage follows - Wugruk has 1 reaction to block.

OOC:

So second look at this and actually I wouldn't have been able to raise my shield on my turn because my shields damage exceeded it's broken threshold. So I think that's a total of three hits against me. After the first hit however I am downed and dying 1.

Apr 29, 2023 11:29 pm

OOC:

Alright, I won't redo the second attack so let's just call Wugruk downed/dying 1 and it's top of the round with Errich.
