'''Continued From [[Here They Come ~ Round 1]]'''

==Summary==

The beetles swarm forward and a couple hit members of the party, who in turn proceed to completely miss all of them.

'''The DM:''' [https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI9srZ2QZG7pIzVwM4ZQETNse6Jhgs1D1w4joySfkRiJak-jhKmYC3HIEC_eWX_uWb3ZjBLwv-bwSU7-LY_x11FProSDJlwKd3CsPKtZEolYYpqFnPcrOzHAa8Cbe-ZRIiu5LdOVOAkvw/s1600/Round+2.png After the beetles move]

It is somewhat confusing as the flood of beetles comes streaming at the party. However, only three of the beetles have enough movement to cover the ground and attack, though most of the front line of the party find themselves threatened.

There are two small beetles that are able to rush Embla and one small beetle able to engage Pandred. Of these small beetles attacking Embla, the one is able to hit AC 8. I think that is a miss, but if Embla could please confirm.

The beetle attacking Pandred hits AC 6. Again, I think this is a hit, but if Pandred could please confirm.

This would be the beetle's full round. These small beetles are quick, and hard to hit, as they are so small, but they do little damage. They cannot do enough to stun either Embla or Pandred even if they do hit, so both players can act ~ but please let me know your armor class ratings.

The party can act as they will.

Following the party's attack, here is everyone's position:

Here is an updated x.p. table:

'''The DM:''' [This is as much as I mean to do tonight. But at least I got a round up. Takes awhile]

'''[[Embla Strand|Embla]]:''' AC 8 is a hit.

Willa will shift to 0609 and fire at the beetle in 707.

Embla will attack the beetle in 606 with her battleaxe.

'''The DM:''' Then Embla takes 1 point of damage. She won't be stunned.

'''The DM:''' Willa gets +1 to hit from point blank range. Go ahead and roll for yourself and for her, Embla.

'''[[Pandred]]:''' That's a hit, yes.

I'll go ahead and bring down a beating on the little guy in what should be 0906, on the high ground with me.

<poem>
d20: 11 (+1 Strength, +1 Puissance) Total 13
Damage: 8+3 from Strength, Total 11.
</poem>

Pandred will also call out to Embla "Make space for Valda!"

'''The DM:''' There's an error in the experience calculation. Bergthora did 3 damage, not 1. It will be fixed with the next post.

The little blighter manages to skip around your battle axe, Pandred.

'''The DM:''' Oh, and Pandred also takes 1 point of damage.

'''The DM:''' For the record, what is the AC of Embla and Pandred?

'''[[Pandred]]:''' Pandred is Studded Leather, AC 7

'''[[Engelhart Askjellson|Engelhart]]:''' Engelhart turns to 1008 and swings.

My attack roll returned a 5, so nothing to see there.

'''[[Lothar Svensson|Lothar]]:''' Lothar attacks the beetle in 0807 with his quarterstaff.

If it's alright I'll wait to declare actions for Valda and Bergthora until Willa's attack is rolled.

'''[[Embla Strand|Embla]]:''' [Sorry for the delay in posting - I was flying across the U.S.]

Embla is AC 8 in studded leather.

Willa rolls a 10+1(point-blank)=11, with 5 damage.

Embla rolls 11+1(bless)+1(Str)=13, with 9 damage.

'''The DM:''' Both of those are misses, Embla. Go ahead, Lothar.

'''[[Lothar Svensson|Lothar]]:''' Valda and Bergthora both attack the beetle in hex 0707 with their shortswords.

'''The DM:''' Yep. Go on and roll.

'''[[Lothar Svensson|Lothar]]:''' Lothar: d20: 2 + 1 for bless = 3

Valda: d20: 3

Bergthora: d20: 12; d6: 6

'''The DM:''' So misses all around. I'm going to assume that no one wants to make any last moves with their remaining AP.

I'll start working on the next post.

'''The DM:''' The players' move and x.p. has been updated on the post above. I'll be attacking for the beetles now.

'''The DM:''' The next post is up.
