Delve the First

[riftstone]

OOC: Grappling would require a to hit roll anyway, correct?

[merias]

If Oldtin can actually make it down the stairs in time, he'll move in to attack with his spear.

[sully]

| Looks like no one is joining Het in his attempt to overbear Alistair so I'll switch to Parrying. |

[Makofan]

My reading of the situation:

Het desperately parries for his life
Lawrence, Serech, Gunther keep attacking
Oldtin will join in the attack with his spear
Golguldir will yell at Alistair, while protected by his two henchies

I'll make a combat post this evening, so everybody has a chance to correct anything before then

[Makofan]

Alistair ignores the shouting, dismisses Het as a threat, and wheels to face the rest. Oldtin charges in with his spear, and then Alistair and Serech land mighty blows, and Alistair crashes to the floor, his head pulped in from Serech's mace.


MECHANICS
Morale check: DM's decision not needed

OOC: I am posting a map to get you started, but then it is up to the players to create their own map version



You are in a largish room, lit by two torches, one lying by Fredrik's dead body, and one in the middle of the room near Alistair's corpse. Alkman is holding a third torch, back on the stairs with Golguldir. There are doors in the north, south and east walls, plus a passage leading east out of the room. The ceiling is at least twice the height of a full grown man, and four pillars stand in the corners, with life-sized caryatid-columns of white-robed maidens.

(Here is a caryatid column)

[riftstone]

Serech wipes sweat from his brow. "What a foe! It is a good and proper thing to remove servants of Chaos from this life."

Serech will provide the last rites to Fredrick.

[sully]

Hetwhistle gazes sadly at Fredrik's corpse. Is he beyond saving? Alas... Um, does anyone have a bandage I might borrow?

Are we going back up top, after we find Alistair's home and loot it? I could use a few days' rest.

[Brumbar]

Lawrence will set the sword aside for the group to decide what to do with it.

He will also start taking of the plate armour, if it looks like it might fit one of the party he will suggest that that person does a wardrobe change.

[merias]

Oldtin pokes Alistair's body with his spear, while looking for a belt pouch or other means of secreting gold.
