(I'm assuming Squall isn't going to do much since he's taking cover behind the battlements and he doesn't range)

Buumstik calls down another flame strike while Samael blast the same location with a burst of acid and fire. Two more ogres fell to the oncoming attack while the rest of the hurlers of that group retreated, having run out of rocks.

While he observed his last spell's effects, Buumstik hears a slightly groggy voice within his head "A Misalin pyromancer? and of elven blood too! What an inelegant method of magic use... still... that's quite... nice." as Buumstik notices an obvious change of tone in his voice from weariness to excitement.

As the liquid flames outside the gates slowly vanishes into the ground, the fire dies down slowly. They see Ranmor standing alone guarding in the inside of the broken gates. The frontal group of trolls hurls in a volley of javelins (Ranmor get hit once for 12 damage) while a second group of trolls rushes past towards the gates. Three of them managed to fit into the gate passage in a row and charged straight at Ranmor, striking him with their claws (two hits for 15 & 16dmg).

At the same time, around four dozen ogres charged towards the walls surrounding the gate before hurling their weighted chains upwards, hooking onto the battlements. Then they leap onto the wall's sides and proceeded to begin climbing the walls.

In the south, the MGE longbows running north at full speed towards the gate. They'll be here within one more round, but the infantry behind them lagged behind and were still over 300ft away. Half the MGE company also broke off and began forming a line along the wall's outer battlements, drawing their arrows and taking aim against the ogres outside the walls.

from the telecomm, Kati and Derrovar hear Anstrun continue his examination of the strange object that crashed within the city center: "the thing is projecting an image... a type of creature... it's speaking... I'll try link the sound to the telecomm."

(next round, everyone... start~!)

last Round: Fort save >20. Combat Expertise to the max.

This Round: Himlor see's Ranmor being attacked, and jumps off of the battlements (tumble DC too low to care) moves to 10 ft. away from one of them (flanking if possible) and attacks :

Damage: (3 acid)



total:66 damage (3 was acid)

[Zanaikin]

ok, a few problems...

--the walls on the gatehouse are about ~40-50ft high so the tumble check involved jumping off to knock off falling damage isn't low at all.
--Dave is blocking the entry at the inside of the gate passage, you'll behind the battlements above the outer side of the gate passage. The gate passage is about 30ft+ long.
--Dave's front is packed with trolls, there are no spacing between them. Basically about a dozen of them filled the gate passage (and more outside, trying to squeeze in and get out of the acidic mire)
--and don't forget the walls are being scaled.

(not my turn yet, so just rping)

"Elegance? Pah. I just..."
Jens sits bolt upright on his phantom steed. "Wait a minute, I'm not in on the telepathic bond, so this voice in my head can't be one of the commanders. Ay! Voice! Who the hell are you?"

(scott: we're in combat order but for the simplicity on the pbp, I've basically reduced it to two turns: everyone in party, and everyone not, both allies and foes. So make your move :p)

(Initiatives will still matter of course, mostly for buff/boost effects, and who gets to kill who first, such and such... but I'll be keeping track of that)

(Dave made me realize most of you are having trouble visualizing the battlefield, and since the combat is now fully 3D even I'd have trouble displaying it without seriously spending time on graphics.)

(The general idea is try to picture the gatehouse of a heavily fortified town. The gate is about 30ft wide and maybe 20ft tall - it's designed for marched large amts of troops in and out. The gatehouse is around 40-50ft tall and 30ft wide from outer to inner edge. The outer edge has battlements providing improved cover, while inner edge has a small raised ledge that provides partial cover and helps keep people from falling over. The dimensions of the gatehouse means there's a 30ft long, 20ft high, and 30ft wide passage, which as we speak are being filled with trolls. The middle of the passage, where the gate once stood, is filled with debris - large chunks of metal)
