Topic: HeroQuest - Quest for the BloodOrb - Quest 2

[Lonewolf]

Gimli dislodges his axe by kicking the dead undead into its back. "Well that was fun lads, lets see what they guarded."

Gimli searches for treasure.

[Wiggus]

Lori looks down at a new set of scars something every dwarf would be proud of but this latest brush with death had reminded the stubborn old dwarf that he wasnt as young as he used to be and running at everything with his hammer ready was maybe not the best choice. After all he'd spent years mastering his craft and here he was booted down doors and swinging his hammer like some kind of slayer. Resolving to play it smart from here out even though he hadnt said anything to anyone even he knew the next time Gimli opened his mouth it'd take all his will power to resist the urge to cock back the hammer and let loose.

[Rasmus]

Gimli digs around, and finding a loose stone in the fireplace he pries it off and finds a small pouch underneath. In this there the clink of coin.


Gimli finds 35 gold

Next update August 18th

[Lonewolf]

Gimli, being the fair dwarf that he is (and rather worried after a certain "friendly fire" incident in the last dungeon) evenly divides up the loot and searches for hidden doors.

[Wiggus]

Lori edged back out to the corridor to check out the door opposite this time opening it quietly well for a dwarf

[Spectral Arbor]

Althion taps Gimli on the shoulder, "De-yee not think a youngaaar man might be the one faaar the job? Best not to tempt fate, aye?"

Althion will position himself in the square south of the lower doorway, bow at the ready. I suggest anyone that wants to melee a critter should move into the hallway before the door is opened. I strongly suggest that NOT Gimli open the door, in case the monsters win initiative and engage the opener.

Once the door is open, the opener should move into the room, and out of LOS if possible. That way I can take a shot with my bow, before anyone gets in my way. Then the rest can charge head first to their grievous wounds... and then I'll move in and poke things with my sharp stick.

I think you are mixing up Gimli and Lori 

[Spectral Arbor]

[OCC: Whoops!]

"Bah! All you Dwaaaarves look the same to me. Mage, quit trying to get yaaarself keel-hauled."

[skoops6]

"Sounds like a plan big Al" Nellin says as he moves up to the left of Althion "Suppose its time I start to participate anyway"

[Spectral Arbor]

Althion observes Nellin, and nods his head.

**If we stand one behind the other, could the front person fire, move out of the way, and have the person behind then fire?**

[Rasmus]

Gimli divides his gold with the others before proceeding, handing each a few coins each.
As Lori looks into the next room the two undead inside jerk into motion, having been completely idle before. A skeleton rattles in its corner, raising a sword and shield, and another wight, its eyes burning with cold blue fire, grins at the new arrivals, but is slow into motion.
[/i]


Your characters have been updated with the new money.
Your heroes, infuriatingly, wins the surprise-roll (again!) and you get to move before the monsters.


[[Yes, a person can shoot, then move out of the way, allowing the one behind to fire.]]


Next update August 21st.
Has Faitherun dropped out?
And does anyone want to replace Rudolph for a sixth player?

[Wiggus]

Wasting no time on spying another wight knowing that the group can ill afford another ruckus as before Lori levels the wand and next wight ready to blast it back from whence it came not even wasting any time with any witty remarks

[Rasmus]

Lori raises the wand, its crackling filling the silence as the undead start to shuffle towards him, and let loose a terrible surge of electricity! The lighting wracks the wight, causing the flesh to smoulder and smoke, but it still keeps coming.
The skeleton shambles up to grab hold of Lori, lifting its rusted sword but missing the dwarf in the doorway.


Lori uses the last charge of the wand to inflict an impressive five wounds on the wight. However, it is still coming.
The skeleton advances, swings, and misses.




Next update August 27th
I apologize for missing the last update, but it got hectic and it gave you all more time to get moves in, should you want any.

[Lonewolf]

Gimli steps on his toes to try to figure out whats going on.

Gimli moves as close to the combat as possible.

[Spectral Arbor]

Excellent. So our mage, with no fate left, opened the door and is now stuck in combat, preventing anyone else from engaging, is that correct?

If so, Althion will fire his arrow past Lori, into the Skelly, then he will move down two squares, allowing Nellin to move into firing position. Sorry 'bout the misfire, Lori.

[Wiggus]

Lori is going to back up into the corridor so that the two of us can smash at the skele even if it gets a free hit its unlikly to drop me in one go

((You are locked in combat and cannot move until the skeleton is double-dead.))

[Wiggus]

O yeah well time to turn some skele into bone powder

[Lonewolf]

Gimli, finally catching a brief glance of the situation (by looking between the elves legs), again uses his mighty powers of motivation and shouts:

5 gold on the skelly and dibs on the old geezers boots!

[skoops6]

Nellin will sneak past everyone and attack the Wight

"When you get round to it, I could use an hand with Grumpy over here ladies"
