Party: Lassa, Espn, Erik, and Maynor.
Ship Group Pictures – 6-10-2017
The party goes back up the stairs so Espn can meditate back up and recharge her now empty staff. She puts a magical alarm on the lower end of the stairs, so she would know if anyone comes up the stairs to look for us. She meds up to full for herself and is about halfway to recharging her staff when the alarm goes off. Maynor, who was at the top of the stairs – just in case, sees skellies with two-handed weapons and wearing rusty armor. He lets his swivel gun drop to the end of its tether and pulls out his axe. There are eight that he can see on the stairs. Maynor uses sweeping blows and hits #1 for 16pts and 15pts for #2. The first one immediately shattered and the second one took a second blow. Maynor gets off two attacks before they get their first. There are now ten skellies to be seen on the stairs. Lassa moves over by the stairs to be ready to lend Maynor a hand, in case he tires, or the skellies break through. Erik moves a few spaces away from Espn, to stay near her, or be ready if the skellies overwhelm the others by the stairs.
The skellies move up the stairs. Number 4 gets 15 pts from Lassa and #5 gets 12 points from Maynard. On the second round he does 13 on 5 and 16 on 6. More skellies show up at the bottom of the stairs. Maynard swings again 16 pts of damage each on 7 and 8 and then on second blow does 13 and 13 and takes out that pair. Next he does 12 on 10 and 13 on 9 and next swing he gets 12 on 9 and 13 on 10. And then a bunch of skellies come out of the woods! Lassa, Espn and Erik notice them because we made our rolls. They gather up around us. Skellies are like the cockroaches of gaming!
Lassa fumbles but doesn’t drop her sword. She dodges the blow thrown her way. Espn casts damage shield and an earth elemental. Espn dodges the blow at her but her earth elemental does no damage. Erik does a little damage and dodges. Maynard kills off his current two at the top of the stairs, then moves over near Erik. Lassa moves over next to Erik, too, to help keep the skellies off of Espn and to help cover for each other. Espn casts another earth elemental and swings taking out #1 then dodges the blow aimed at her. The elemental misses 8, but is hit for 9 points. The skellies move up. Lassa takes out 4 finally with 24 points. She has one attack left for dodge. Maynard takes out 17 and does 15 on 21. Erik does his last attack and takes out 7. Maynard does his last sweeping blow attack and does 15 on 21, then 14 on 5. The skellies miss and he dodges the other blow. Lassa moves closer and ends up taking 2 wounds as a skelly gets a free swing at her, but now she’s next to Espn so to help block skellies from surrounding her. Espn takes out 8 with a 12 pt blow. Espn then does assault of stones and does damage to seven skellies.
Then a lich steps up off of the stairs. He casts Blast at Erik. The skellies attack and do some damage to the elemental. Three miss Maynard and all three miss Erik. Lassa gets hit and takes 1 pt while she swings and does 8 p on 16. Maynard does a sweeping blow doing 12 on 22, 16 on 20, 13 on 18 and 12 on 13. The lich calls up a plate armored skelly. Lassa does a 10 pt damage against toughness and takes out 16. Maynard does 16 on 13, 12 on 18, 12 on 20 and 13 on 22 and takes out all four skellies. Erik strikes 3 for 8 pts. The lich blasts Erik for 13 pts and he is blown down and stunned for two rounds. Espn gets 14 and hits 12 for 12 pts. (Yes, there are so many skellies our GM is reusing the numbered tabs!)
Next round Lassa hits 12 for 9 pts and drops it. The lich went back down the stairs. Maynard steps back to be closer to Lassa. The armored skelly champion steps into place. The skellies move up and miss the three earth elementals. Two try to hit Maynard and one tries to hit Lassa, but they both dodge their blows. Espn is missed. Then the corrupt champion moves up to Espn and she misses her dodge. She loses her damage shield and bounces the remaining 1 pt. She misses her recast of the damage shield, but makes her next attempt. Lassa does 9 pts to 14. Maynard does his rounds and does a lot of damage. The elemental do damage on two of the skellies. The corrupt champion hits Espn and takes out her damage shield again. Lassa does some more damage to 14 again and Maynard takes out three more skellies. Lassa finally takes out 14 and Maynard takes out his last one. Espn uses her last attack to dodge the blow from the champion.
Lassa dodges #20 to go up against the big guy. She hits him for 13 pts on toughness blow only. Espn does 16 pts to him. Lassa hits him again for 11 pts on his toughness again. Maynard moves over to the big guy and takes one free shot. He does 18 pts damage with extra damage and takes him out. The skellies move up. They miss Lassa and Espn and only hit one earth elemental, but it’s still with us. The elementals get to go and hit for 10 points. Espn takes out of the skellies on her last attack. Maynard does another sweeping blow and takes out one skelly and damages the other three for 13 points.
Erik wakes up on the next round and uses his first attack to drink a healing potion. Lassa takes out another skelly and shoots another for 6 pts. Espn drinks a healing potion. Maynard takes out four more skellies. Erik does 12 points on 19. Skellies move up and Maynard gets hit for 12 points. One of the elementals is hit with extra damage and is now gone. Maynard hits his new bunch of skellies and takes out one. Lassa dodges her skelly and Erik does 9 on 19. Maynard finishes off the remaining skellies with his second attack. Lassa does 8 pts to 13 and Espn takes it out with 10 pts. Maynard takes out 9 and 10, so the elementals are freed up. An elemental does 11 to 7. Erik does 15 pts to 4 and takes it out. Lassa does 10 pts to last skelly. Maynard takes it out.
We tally it all up and we have done twelve rounds of battle during this fight and have taken out fifty-four skellies and one corrupt champion. Maynard by himself has taken out thirty-three of them. We feel we have all the information Richtofen needs; that it’s a high level lich. He has two great-sized unusual orcs. The platform is still an unknown. And we are NOT going down those stairs to go looking for him! We head back down to the beach and signal the ship and head back to Marianburg to report our findings.
And so our adventures continue…
