I'll give it a good thrust (then attack with my Staff, ho-ho).

15 + 5 = 20

And a 6 on the d6! :o

I think it was the magic sword and its continual negging that was holding Margar back all this time :lol:

Lord Margar thrusts the undead with the Staff of Awful Light, dealing it a grave wound, though not enough to finish it off!

However, the creature is stunned by the blow, and Lord Margar may strike again!


MEANWHILE, opening the door to the room, Giant Dances the Sea finds a quiet, dark storage room, filled with crates, barrels and boxes.

Hiding among these are what appear to be four terrified-looking peasants, very much alive! They look upon him with great terror.

Giant will gesture excitedly at the peasants, encouraging them towards the entrance. A ghastly approximation of human speech emerges from his voice-hole. "Come! Freedom!"

Giant will then lead them towards the eastern doorway, hoping for a panicked stampede along the walkway...

I'll stab again:

12 + 5 = 17

...Another 6 on the d6

I promise I'm not making this up. :lol:

Malaiz will use this opportunity to have a look in the boxes before the little loot goblin returns to ransack the place!

Malaiz, roll 4d8 to see what you find!

Lord Margar thrusts the Staff's blade of unknown metal into the undead once again, and it staggers backwards over the wooden walkway, tumbling down off the castle wall into the snow-shrouded valley below with a final sepulchral shriek.


The next undead, armed with a sword, comes staggering along the scaffold, to fill the gap in the doorway! Lord Margar has the initiative and my attack it first!

And so the lucky attack streak ends:

2 + 5 = 7

The undead creature parries your thrusting strike and hacks at you with its sword!

Test Agility (d20 +2) to parry in return!

Malaiz finds, among the boxes, a medicine box (heals d6 HP and cures infections, seven uses), the mysterious dagger that he pulled from the corpse of a nobleman in the undercroft of St. Olundan's chapel, a bottle of lantern oil, a firesteel for lightning torches, and...


Test Presence, Malaiz (d20 + 3)

I'll take all and redistribute to rightful owners later.

Malaiz spots an open bear-trap among the items. He successfully avoids it.

Lord Margar isn't quick enough and is struck by the undead's sword!

Roll d6 for the sword, then subtract d4+1 for your chainmail and shield!

Have those peasants made a run for the exit yet? ¬_¬

(Basically I'm hoping in their panic they might inadvertently knock the remaining undead off the walkway...)

Margar is busily engaged in hand-to-hand with undead in the doorway. There's not much room for them to get past! The four peasants stand cringing in the hallway, watching his Lordship heroically battle.
