Delve #7

[rredmond]

That's okay, wanted to attack anyway!

[merias]

[Round 1: initiative party 8, wild men 9 - despite the party losing initiative, Uz's spell will go off first since it is technically ranged]

Uz casts light [save d20=1 FAIL], and one of the men is blinded [d6=5] - he stops but does not drop his axe, for now his attack this round is thwarted.

Four crazed men charge into your line [vs who? Salty, Berthold, Heimer, Schmidt...4d4=4,2,4,1, (d20+4)x4=8,12,24,15 so Schmidt gets hit for max damage of d6+1=7, Salty for d6+1=2], one of them badly wounds Schmidt, the other injures Salty.

Twig, still silent and unseen, moves in behind the group of men attacking [d20+4=7], but the man he is targeting moves at the last minute and Twig can't land a blow.

Salty [d20=1], obviously thrown off by his wounds, misses his target.
Berthold [d20+3=5] also cannot land a blow against any of the crazed foes.
Schmidt [d20+2=13 HIT for d6+1=3 dmg] injures one of the men with his mace.
Heimer [d20+1=17 HIT spear set vs. charge for d6x2=8dmg] impales the same man that Schmidt wounded, killing him.

Actions?

Status:
Salty, Schmidt and Berthold are wounded.
One wild man is blinded.
One wild man is dead.
Three men remain, fighting in a berserk frenzy. You don't think they will relent.

Twig seems most effective in backstabbing, so he will continue to do so until the spell wears off.

[greyarea]

Since the blinded man stopped, he is likely out of melee. If so, Uzmatazz will throw a dart at him.

Berthold swings Morbo again at the crazed foe.

[rredmond]

Heimer and Schmidt press on with attacking.
“That round was well fought, but we shall now end it!” Schmidt yells, willing his mace to light ever more brightly!

[JimboJimbo]

Desperately trying to ignore the ketchup leaking from his Jenkins, Salty gets stuck in.

[Round 2: initiative party 1, wild men 11]

Three wild men continue their attack [vs who? Salty, Berthold, Heimer, Schmidt...3d4=4,2,4, (d20+4)x3=13,7,23 so Schmidt gets hit for d6+1=6 dmg], and one of them again badly wounds Schmidt!

The blind man heads toward the noise of melee, in his crazed state he just flails his axe about [I'll roll a d8 to include the 3 men and 4 PCs, d8=2, d20+2-4=17 HIT for d6+1=4 dmg], hitting one of his wild man companions.

[Uz lost initiative, and did not have his darts ready since he just read a scroll, so his attack had to come after the blind man stumbled into melee]

Uz hurls three darts at the blind warrior [(d20-4)x3=3,-2,15 on HIT for d3=3 dmg], one manages to sink into the man's chest, wounding him.

Twig, still invisible, backstabs [d20+4=16 HIT for (d4+1)x2=6 dmg] and this time is able to land a blow - but it is not enough to fell the berserk fighter.

Twig senses that he is now visible and is no longer silent!

Salty [d20=5 MISS] again misses his target.
Berthold [d20+3=22 HIT for d8+2=10 dmg] drops one of the wild men with a single blow of his sword.
Schmidt [d20+2=10 MISS] cannot land a blow.
Heimer [d20+1=3 MISS] has no luck with his spear.

Actions?

Status:
Salty and Schmidt are seriously wounded, Berthold less so.
Twig's dust has worn off and he is visible.
Two wild men are dead.
Three other wild men remain, one is wounded, one is blind and wounded, and one is not wounded.

Berthold charges the unwounded wild man, intending to remove that modifier.

Uz watches the back (and the battle) in case the din draws others.
