Act 2 Scene 4: "Descent into Darkness" (Game Thread)

[TristenC]

[Mira can, yes. Jerrard, pm sent]

[Chris1234]

"Hey, Pyros! Try hurling these at the skeleton on the left. The stones are generally very effective and your aim's probably better than mine," offers Jerry, holding out the three magically imbued stones.

If Pyros takes the Magical Stones, Jerry readies her mace and stands next to the fearless little fellow.

======
Anyone hurling the stones is automatically proficient in their use. Short range is 30'.
They count as magical items for the purposes of what thay can affect although no bonuses to hit or damage.
Double damage against undead; (so 2d4 per stone).
Up to three of the stones can be throuwn in one round.

[Nocturno]

Pyros loads one into his hoopak.

"They dont look special."

[Chris1234]

"No, they don't. But I promise you that they are," reassures Jerry. "Just need the stones to hit the target. The skeleton on the left."

[Jenara]

Hanging the crossbow on her back she draws the mace from her belt. Wishing she could use the weapon properly.

"We get close and see if it attacks?" She asks, holding the mace tightly.

[Chris1234]

"No, we pelt it from here and see if it moves towards us," recommends Jerry. "If it pelts us back then that's another matter."
She checks Merrick with a quick glance and a smile and then stands ready to defend Pyros.

[Nocturno]

Pyros looks around at the group and starts to whirl his Hoopak, not ready to sling the stone yet. Watching the talking between the Ladies. His look is as if a kid who is trying to touch something and not get noticed by moving very slowly.

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

Feeling much out of his element still. Cross will get this Burning Hands to the front of his mind, but not want to use it unless necessary.

[Jenara]

"This is your call, attacking things like this.." She sighs, "I'll take your lead, I have a few spells, but I'm not sure what they can do to this." holding the mace tightly in her hands she prepares to do whatever Jerry needs.

[Jerrard]

Shifting his shield to his back, and the sword to his offhand, he reaches for the mace at his belt.

"If it strikes, Pytor and I will take the fore. The rest of you defend yourselves." The Knight counters, his mace readied.

[Chris1234]

"Thank you, Mira," answers Jerry, grim smile but twinkly eyes. "These things need dealing with. And away from whatever that mist is hiding."

Half turning her head towards the knight, "If the pair act separately then so much the better," expands Jerry. "But if the two big skeletons work together then maybe you and Pytor can take one each and everyone else pile into the one on the left. Try to take it out quickly before working on the other one."

[TristenC]

Adrastia moves up beside her brother, preparing to hold the line.

When we are ready, i can say a Prayer first... just in case. Elsa adds.

====
does this seem approximately correct?

[Jenara]

"Works for me. Go ahead and sling." she holds the mace tightly, Waiting.

[Jerrard]

"You don't trust me, but lets just kill this thing, ready?" Karl steps forward, forming a defensive line, gritting his teeth.

[Nocturno]

Tossing the stone out of his hoopak sling into his left hand. He starts windmilling his right hand feeding it stones from his left.

"Hey drybones, since you aren't catching on fire; Catch these!"

[Chris1234]

Jerry adds, "When the one on the left arrives, anyone not being threatened by the other one should shuffle around to encicle the one on the left. Concentrate on taking the left one down quickly."
