Ice Lake Round 12 ~ The Circle Tightens
Continued From Ice Lake Round 11 ~ The Party Makes Hay
Summary
Only Rob is hit by a larva, but this stuns him and drives him into Mikael's space. Engelhart destroys one, as does Lothar. This frees up space allowing Mikael to stun another.
Original Page
The DM: The momentary shattering of the larvae's circle has little to no effect on the creatures, as they again move in to fill up the gaps. Those that enter into 1823 and 1925, however, don't have enough move left to attack.
Embla continues to face two creatures. The larva in 1623 misses with an 8. The one in 1722 misses with a natural 1.
Engelhart still has three creatures threatening. The larva in 1922 rolls a 5, missing. 2023 rolls an adjusted 5. And finally, the larva in 2024 rolls an adjusted, unnatural 1. Engelhart is missed again for a full round.
Lothar only faces two, one on the left and one on the right. A larva enters the hex 1924 and chooses to attack the ranger, rolling a natural 1. The other, in 1826, rolls a 3.
There are no attacks on Mikael.
Three attacks land on Rob. The larva in 1624 misses with a 4. The one in 1625 rolls a 17, and causes 3 damage. Rob was reduced to 11 hit points, and this hits. Rob falls back into Mikael's hex, 1824, and the larva in 1725 advances into the empty space. Others press in.
The remaining larvae outside begin to shift around the pack, seeking a way to the party.
The party can act now. Take note, Mikael cannot effectively attack while still in the hex with Rob. (they're "fouled").
Following the player's move, the positions stand as follows:
And experience so far:
Current XP totals Error: shows 6 damage too many against Embla. Corrected with the next post.
Embla: I swing at 1724:
5 on the die hits AC 12 for 5 damage. Drat.
Rob: Ouch
Engelhart: I attack on 1924, to clear the way for Mikael.
Attack Roll: 9+2 ('yeshh.. a bare hit!)
Damage Roll: 8+1
Mikael: I guide Rob to 1924, and attack 1823 with my mithril dart
Modified attack roll: 14
Modified damage roll: 3
The DM: Yeah, that barely manages it, Engelhart. And destroys 1924.
That will hit for Mikael. It stuns.
The DM: I'll presume that Mikael turns to face 1724, which is the one potential foe at the moment.
Waiting for Rob.
Mikael: Sorry, forgot about facing. Yes, please
The DM: Sorry, I mean Lothar.
Rob: I let myself be led by mikael , in my stunned state.
The DM: [Oops, its time. Sorry we didn't get in more, hope you guys are okay with that. See you tomorrow!]
Engelhart: I too alter my facing to 2023, don't want to give these things more leverage than what they've already got.
Mikael: [Here]
Lothar: [Here]
I attack the larva in 1925.
Attack: 17+1=18, hits AC 0
Damage: 8+1=9
Alright!
The DM: [here]
Lothar destroys 1925. Working on the update.
Rob: [Here]
The DM: The post above is updated. Working on the next round.
The DM: The next post is up. Haven't heard from Embla or Engelhart yet.
