d20: 3+2: 5

Kondor's blade grows heavy as yet another set of death swings are easily avoided by the ravenous beast!

The determined foe pressed forward almost atop the barbarian and bares vicious barbed teeth! 2! Kondor presses his blade against the beetles mouth forcing it back just in time.


[End of round.  State intentions. Roll Initiatives, etc etc for next round.]

Initiative: d6- 6!

Gundrabu hopefully lifts slightly his trapped foot to determine if the wax is loosening.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor is undaunted, and hacks once more at the fire-beetle. He has no choice!

d6:  4!
d20: 17! +2: 19!
d10: 1+3: 4!

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak places the lantern on the floor, sheaths his war pick, and investigates the gear and screw, seeing if it moves the slab. If it does move the slab, Tillak attempts to do so.

[Yes welcome to the game! Great to have new players! I typically use these brackets for business communication.
fireinthedust is fond of ooc:, cant recall how eirvit's doing it...]

[In fact, give me your initiative roll for Tillak's move with the gear this round.]

Gundrabu has the initiative for round. And the wax finally loosens enough for him to pull his other foot free!
[Gundrabu roll d12]

Kondor acts next, rebalancing on his stuck feet and swinging successfully his bastard sword deep into the hard carapace!

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

The beetle feels that one in its guts and spins frantically screeching and earpiercing howl and runnins away into the darkness!

And at last, turning the gear to the right slowly raises the huge heavy slab a foot, turning it left lowers it.

Suddenly into the hooded lantern's glow  bursts a giant beetle over the edge of the slab and crawling up the screw right toward you!!!

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

D12- 6!

Initiative: d6- 6!

Gundrabu retreats beyond the wax floor (again, if possible), and, flanking whatever enemies Kondor still faces (if he does), he will strike with the crystal weapon. I imagine a torch is in one hand, crystal weapon in his “business hand.”

D20- 8!

(If I can’t attack this round, ignore or hold that roll for next.)

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak draws his warpick, arms his shield, and attacks! 

Initiative: d6 - 3

Attack roll: d20 - 18.

(Should I let you know what my strength and weapon mastery bonuses are? +2 for strength, +1 for weapon mastery (war pick).

(Initiative: d6 - 3)

Attack roll: 18 +1 for fighting ability, +2 for strength. So 21? Do I add 1 for weapon mastery? 

Fighting Ability is simply the level of your attack, some classes are different than others, for example Illusionists are at FA 0 for both levels 1&2. It is not a +.

Tillak has a STR of 17, giving him a +1 to hit, +2 damage.
He has mastery of the War pick which gives him an addiotnal +1 to hit and +1 damage (and 3/2 attack rate.)
Further his war pick is designed to inflict an additional +1 to hit vs. plate mail armors.

So in this instance I think it is:
18 +2   (and I throw in the war pick +1 against the hard shell) =  21!

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Awesome! Tallik lets out a war cry as he swings his weapon down on the beetle!

D8 - 8! Max damage!

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Ooc: Am I able to cast "shove" one extra time a day because I am a spell caster with an intelligence of 16, or does that only apply to magicians and their sub-classes?

If it gives me a bonus to AC, I raise my shield and wait for the beetle's repost!
