Simone takes aim and swings with her sword in hopes of actually scoring a hit on the genlock this time around.

"Simone, back off!" Wallace yells. He uses heal on Simone, and aims at the Alpha.

Davne realises that they now outnumber their opponents, and calls "Spread out and use your range" while she remained in mortal combat with the Alpha, trading blows successively she was confident that she could outlast him with the help of her allies...

Aim, Attack Alpha (3d6+4=10)

Wallace moves over to Simone and places a hand on her back, casting a spell of heal. All of her injuries lessen somewhat. She isn't fully healed, but she's no longer in critical danger, either. Simone then strikes at the lesser genlock, bypassing his armor to stab him right in the throat. Its mouth opens in a silent scream, then it falls over, hitting the ground.

Not too far from there, Davne continues battling with the Alpha. It swings its axe at her head and she is able to step back in time to avoid most of it, but the edge does cut across her cheek, drawing a little blood. Alenka fires an arcane lance at the alpha, but its armor absorbs the entire blow, doing no damage at all. The mage curses in frustration as Davne swings her sword at the alpha's head, only for it to throw up its shield to block it.

=============

Combat Order
Wallace (3d6+1): 14
Simone (3d6+3): 13
Genlock Alpha (3d6+2): 12
Alenka (3d6+1): 11
Genlock 04 (3d6+1): 11
Davne (3d6+2): 7

Round 9!

Wallace uses a minor action to move 2 yards south and a major action to cast Heal on Simone [TN 10] (3d6+4): 12, pass. He consumes 1 MP. He restores (1d6): 6 HP to Simone. Simone's condition improves from critically wounded to seriously wounded.
Simone uses a minor action to aim (+1 to hit) and a major action to attack Genlock 04 with her short sword [TN 13] (3d6+4): 17, STUNT (5 points)! She uses Pierce Armor and Mighty Blow. She deals (2d6+4): 13 (-2 armor) = 11 damage. Genlock 04 falls.
Genlock Alpha uses a minor action to aim (+1 to hit) and a major action to attack Davne with his battle axe [TN 14] (3d6+6): 16, hit for (2d6+3): 8 (-7 armor) = 1 damage.
Alenka aims (+1 to hit) and fires an arcane lance at Genlock Alpha [TN 13] (3d6+5): 18, hit for (1d6+4): 5 (-7 armor) = 0 damage.
Genlock 04 is down.
Davne uses a minor action to aim (+1 to hit) and a major action to attack Genlock Alpha with her bastard sword [TN 13] (3d6+4): 10, miss.

(OOC: Spyguy, Wallace could not use his minor action to aim this round, because he had to get closer to Simone to cast Heal on her. Heal is a touch spell, so you must be adjacent to the person you are casting it on. Also, you didn't specify how many MP you were using. Heal restores 1d6 for each MP used, up to 3 MP for 3d6. I decided to err on the side of caution and have him only expend 1 MP.)

Simone moves around to get behind the alpha genlock for a backstab attempt.

Hit (18)

DMG (12)

Wallace moves right, around the boulders, and casts Arcane bolt again.

I hope that doesn't scar. Davne thought, I want to have my portrait hanging on the walls of great halls someday and I'm not about to let you ruin my face! Enraged she strikes again at the Alpha.

Aim, Attack Alpha (3d6+4=18)

Damage on Alpha (2d6+4=11)

With no other targets left but the Alpha, the four heroes converge all of their attacks on him. Wallace moves around the boulder before firing an arcane bolt into the creature's side, denting its crude but effective armor.

Simone sneaks around him during the chaos of the fight, then stabs him from behind, causing him to howl in fury and pain.

Outraged, the Alpha throws all of his weight into his next attack, slashing downward at Davne so hard that he likely cracked a bone or two in the process.

Alenka fires another arcane lance, hitting the genlock in his arm while Davne moves in and retaliates with her bastard sword, slashing across the Alpha so hard that it stumbles back a bit and coughs up some blood. It's clear from the madness in his eyes, he won't surrender or give up. He intends to die here, and take as many as the party with him as possible.

=============

Combat Order
Wallace (3d6+1): 14
Simone (3d6+3): 13
Genlock Alpha (3d6+2): 12
Alenka (3d6+1): 11

Simone strikes with a backstab (+2 to hit; +1d6 dmg) attempt [TN 13] (3d6+5): 18, hit for (2d6+4): 12 (-7 armor) = 5 damage.

Davne winces as the blow strikes her, she battles on though, determined to kill this Darkspawn before he kills her.

Aim, Attack Alpha (3d6+4=15) STUNT!

Damage (2d6+4=14)

(Pierce armour)

Gallath moves back to Davne's side. If i can do that with the action move, then cast heal on her, if it takes run, than the action heal.

Wallace moves back over to Davne and gives her a little tap on the back, easing a couple of her injuries ever so slightly with a minor healing spell.

Davne and the Alpha continue to fight, each trying to outlast the other. Simone, still behind the Alpha, strikes again, throwing all of her weight into the stab. Her blade pierces the creature's crude, black armor and goes right into its neck. It shrieks, briefly, then drops to the ground, unmoving.

Everyone is breathing hard and has taken injuries, but the genlocks now all lie dead and the party is alive.

=============

Combat Order
Wallace (3d6+1): 14
Simone (3d6+3): 13
Genlock Alpha (3d6+2): 12
Alenka (3d6+1): 11
Davne (3d6+2): 7

Round 11!

Wallace uses a minor action to move 6 yards back toward Davne and then uses a major action to cast Heal on her [TN 10] (3d6+4): 19, success. He consumes 1 MP. Davne is restored (1d6): 2 HP.
Simone uses a minor action to aim (+1 to hit) and a major action to attack Genlock Alpha with her short sword [TN 13] (3d6+4): 18, STUNT (4 points!) She uses Pierce Armor and Mighty Blow. She deals (2d6+4): 11 (-3 armor) 8 damage. Genlock Alpha falls.

(OOC: I assume you meant 'Wallace' and not 'Gallath,' spyguy

End combat.

If you guys want to take a 5 minute breather, that will heal everyone 6+CON HP. After that, Wallace has a healing kit so he can bandage you up.)

Davne lowers her weapons as the alpha stops breathing, her arms heavy from combat. "You got the blighter before me! " She exclaims to Simone, with a chuckle she adds, "thanks. How's everyone holding up? I'm gonna take five after that."

Wallace examines the biggest of the darkspawn closely. "Boy, that was one mean sucker" To the others "Let's take a quick rest. My legs feel like jelly. After that I can patch you up with my healing kit."

(OOC: Oops. Guess I'm just used to him.)

The party pauses to rest a bit after that grueling battle.

Alenka wanders over to the dead Alpha and pokes at it with her staff. "Nobody has reported darkspawn on the surface for nearly four hundred years. Even when the arl got reports they were raiding his lands, I was skeptical. I thought they might be bandits just dressing up or wearing scary makeup. It seems I was wrong."

=============

The party takes a five minute breather:
Simone regains 7 HP. Her condition improves from seriously wounded to moderately wounded.
Davne regains 9 HP. Her condition improves from seriously wounded to moderately wounded.
Wallace regains 6 HP. He is now fully healed.
Alenka regains 6 HP. Her condition improves from moderately wounded to lightly wounded.
