Render remained helpless on the floor. Clint shouldered his bow and drew his longsword. The elf advanced to engage the hobgoblin but missed by a mile. Henpeck moved forward to engage the evil cleric but he too missed his mark. Thurstan’s wolf maneuvered to attack the remaining skeleton. The wolf’s bite was strong dealing 6 damage.

Thurstan Channeled Positive Energy and provided the party with 10 points of healing. Simone attacked the skeleton with her bite. The critical bite dealt 6 damage and dispatched the monster.

Once again the hobgoblin Channeled Negative Energy. The attack dealt 16 damage to everyone in sight. Clint made his save and only took half. The wave did not affect Banjo. He also directed the Spiritual Weapon to fight Torvald. The magic weapon missed the paladin.

Banjo moved into sight and cast a Magic Missile at the hobgoblin dealing 9 damage. Torvald powered a Smite Evil and Power Attacked the hobgoblin with his longsword. The blow landed for 13 damage.

Like rules, resolutions are meant to be broken.

I will post a new turn tonight. I know it is a week late but I have been very busy at work and have not had the time when I have been home.

I will have some time tonight. I have a 2:30 AM call for work. I expect to be staying up and I can work on this while I wait.

Need posts by tonight

I am still looking for posts for Clint and Henpeck. Please post by tonight or I will execute your actions from last turn as close as possible.

Added a new feature

I added a new channel with links to the recent combat maps. It is on the right, below the Pop-up Dice Roller. It is called Current Combat Map Links.

The first link will launch a download dialog box that will bring up the current Excel file of the map explored so far.

The second link will open a pop-up window to a page displaying links to the images of the recent combat maps and a version of the map without any characters upon it. I figured that this might help you see where all the features are.

Let me know what you think.

Old Dice Roller working again ... for now

It appears that the old dice roller is working once more. I have moved it back up toward the top of the page. If it stops working, the other two rollers are available and do work.

Need Player posts by 10:00 PM tonight

I still need player posts from Matt H, Matt F and Christian. I also need one from Daren if he is going to do something other than what Dave posted on his behalf.

Assuming that I get everyone's posts, I will publish results tonight.

Render raged and attacked the tripped skeleton with his warhammer. The dwarf shattered his foe with a strike for 13 damage and side-stepped to fill the space the monster used to occupy. For his trouble, the minotaur skeleton attacked the dwarf with its claws. Both claws hit and wounded Render for 19 damage.

Clint fired his bow at the hobgoblin but missed the cleric with the shot. The elf stepped closer to create some space to maneuver around the entrance of the inner room. Henpeck stepped through Render and into the room. The fighter attacked the minotaur skeleton with his bastard sword dealing 9 damage. One of the skeletons stepped forward and attacked Henpeck with its claws. Both attacks hit dealing a total of 10 damage.

Thurstan’s wolf entered the inner room and stood next to Henpeck. The wolf bit the monster dealing 2 damage and tripped the foe. Thurstan channeled positive energy for 10 which healed Render, Henpeck and Banjo . Simone rushed into the room until it was next to the wolf and attacked the tripped skeleton. Because of the maneuvering required, the lion only was able to bite the monster for 4 damage. The remaining skeleton stepped forward and attacked the cat. One claw hit for 7 damage but the other missed.

Banjo stepped away from the Spiritual Weapon to cast a Sleep spell at the hobgoblin. The sorcerer was able to cast the spell but the hobgoblin was not affected. The hobgoblin channeled negative energy and caused damage to everyone except Torvald. Banjo and Henpeck took 13 damage while Render, Simone, Thurstan, Thurstan’s wolf and Clint took 6 damage. The Spiritual Weapon moved and attacked Banjo striking the sorcerer for 4 damage.

Torvald stepped forward to the open space in front of the minotaur skeleton and attacked the monster with his longsword. The blow landed but only nicked the monster for 1 damage.

New Year's Resolution - Stay on track

I will be posting a turn tonight. I would like to get back into a grove of posting 3 times a week. I will do my part if you will do yours.

Daren is reconsidering his commitment to join the game. If we want to find a replacement player or have another regular player play Torvald I am good with that. I am also good with dropping down to 5 players/characters.

Please let me know what you would like to do.
