Sighing as the last enemy refuse to go down, Thomas strikes again, wanting to put this trooper down so he can deal with the Seeker.

#Wish I could bring you into play, Gamliel, but you'd arouse suspicions that we are not who we claim to be.#

*Far be it for me to spoil your surprise. It looks like you need some sword practice, though.*

#Yeah, too used to using the crossbow.#

Round 9

Horrified that the prophet refused to go down, Sarah moves back to her crossbow and shoots at him.

Attack: 8 Damage: 15

Hex: 1

'Someone kill that MotherF#$#r!!!' 

George swaps out his bow for his blade and closes in on the demon priest, hoping to hack him to pieces and put him down. George will aim for the joints, looking to butcher the Seeker into parts.

Attack: 16 Damage: 10 Hunters Mark 1

Bonus attack: Attack: 21 Damage: 7

"Hack off the bloody thing's head!" Aleister yells.  "Cut out it's eyes or hack off it's tongue."  He will continue assisting Sarah.

Thomas closes in, dismounts, pulls out a dagger and strikes at the back of the undead creature, yelling "Die, you Evil, undead vermin! The Lord Protector was right and his holy light will send you back to Hell!"

Short sword Attack: 10 Damage: 6

Dagger Attack: 11 Damage: 2

8 for sneak attack on the first hit.

This thing is not going to 'die' until you do as George suggested, chop it to bits. However DnD doesn't really support that so we will introduce the concept of 'called shot'. You take -3 to your attack to be able to hit a specific body part. Once you do 20% of its HP damage to that spot it is removed. A critical hit will also remove the limb, head, whatever. There are tactics that will make all this easier, if you think of them.

I've looked at all the attacks so far and with the -3 penalty none of them actually hit (even without the -3 penalty most never even got close)

Aleister is helping Sarah so an extra dice 8

The Seeker smashes Max 19

Max is paralyzed he saves 2

Max takes 10 damage

Em to act

Max 17 paralyzed
Em 19
Sarah 3
Aleister 10
George 4

Round 10

"Knock the hellspawn prone!" Sarah calls out and shoots again, aiming for the neck and sets her Curse upon the creature.

Curse: +2

Attack: 27 Damage: 12

Hex: 1

OoC: Em should be at 14 damage after the 5 hp heal from second wind.

Em will attempt to Shove prone.

Athletics: 8

Round 10(?)

Thomas follows the suggestion and tries to knock the unnatural being down to the ground, where they can dismember it properly!

Strength Athletics 12 

Em and Thomas try to knock the Seeker down 18, not a hope.
Sarah attacks without calling her shot and also forgetting that Aleister is helping 15 but manages a critical hit for 13+14 damage. The arrow goes in an eye and blows out the back of its head, 'killing' it.

This is the second one of these creature that Sarah has destroyed. Sara CUTs-bane?

Quote from TheManyNamed >>

Round 10

"Knock the hellspawn prone!" Sarah calls out and shoots again, aiming for the neck and sets her Curse upon the creature.

Curse: +2

Attack: 24 Damage: 8

Hex: 5

 

 Err, it was a called shot.  In the neck.
