OOC:
I see a roll for an are attack by Makander but no damage roll... and no mention in write up... just confused... do I roll Damage and describe the strike?
OOC:
The attack roll was for a Parry, as you requested! You can use any weapon skill for shields, which have a high durability! It was just easier and much quicker to roll that in with my post.

Though Bastonn feels the overwhelming urge to flee in the face of this unstoppable for, Makander's resolute stance gives him courage and the wolfkin does not falter!

Round Three

Watching as Makander resists the fear effect of this wight, this undead Baron, the creature howls in rage and gestures once again to send the Mallard flying towards the back wall! There is a sickening crunch as the duck hits the wall and slumps down, prone.
OOC:
Makander takes four damage, which brings him to Zero.
Quote:
If your HP reaches zero, you drop to the ground and risk dying. You cannot move or perform any actions except trying to rally (below).

Death Roll: On your turn in each subsequent round, you must make a death roll – a roll against your CON. The death roll cannot be pushed if that optional rule is used. Record the results of your death rolls on your character sheet. After three successful death rolls you recover D6 HP and stop making death rolls. After three failed death rolls, your player character dies. Rolling a dragon counts as two successful death rolls, and rolling a demon counts as two failures. If the combat ends, keep counting rounds until all death rolls have been made. Any failed death rolls are reset if you survive.

Rally: Another player character within 10 meters and earshot can PERSUADE you to rally and keep fighting despite having zero HP. This counts as an action. If you rally, you can continue acting as normal, but must keep making death rolls as described above. You can even try to rally yourself, rolling against your WIL with a bane (instead of PERSUASION).

Nice save Makander! Question: Bastonn has a skill (Veteran) that allows him to retain his initiative from the previous round. How would the timing for this work in a PbF format? I would like to spend 1 WP to keep my initiative from the previous round and strike the Wight early if possible.

Looks like it is my turn. And assume Wight is no more prone
With a whisper of prayer to her Orla fire another arrow. Feeling she just wasting arrows elf is close to panic, would have run away if exit was not blocked

Absolutely, go for it!

Play-by-Post makes reactionary things like that tricky, so feel free to butt in!

Bastonn’s resolve wavers temporarily, the Wight’s howl stirring up visions of unnatural terror in his mind. Seeing Makander’s courage in the face of such adversity inspires Bastonn to continue the fight, though, and he lunges at the Wight again with uncanny speed.

Though the spear digs deep into the Wight, and though Bastonn can see how close it is to dying once again, the undead refuses to give up its earthly existence! Grabbing on to the spear with its shield hand, it pulls Bastonn in closer, before slamming down upon the wolfkin with its heavy morningstar! Bastonn knows he has only a moment to defend himself, lest he be smashed to death!
OOC:
I need a Parry or a Dodge from Bastonn, or he takes 20 damage!

One more good hit should do it! Aodhan, you're up!

Seeing the weakened Wight, Aodhan rushes to fling one more fireball at the beast before he can do anymore damage. He's careful to try to target away from Bastonn as he swings his staff and once again roars "IGNIS!"

I don't have my computer to check the book (its in shop for repairs)... but I assume Makander failed his rally and is collapsed in a heap on the floor currently?

I read

Rolling equal to or under your skill level means that the action succeeds

As the Wight's weapon crushes down upon Bastonn, the wolfkin crumples and takes the spear with him. The wound was heavy, though, and leaves an opening in the center of the undead's armor. Taking advantage of this, Aodhan lobs a ball of fire into that opening.

The Wight is instantly engulfed in flame! Thick smoke erupts from its form, as it is reduced to ash before your very eyes! Soon, nothing but charred armor and a pile of glowing embers remains. That, and a large morningstar.
OOC:
Makander and Bastonn need to make Death saves. Vrhey can be saved with a successful Medicine check, or three successful saves.

What do you do?!

Aodhan will give a steady laugh in triumph, and then move over to Makander to help him first.

Saying to no one in particular:

"That was quite the scrap, wasn't it? Hoho, yes sir indeed, quite the scrap."
