MÖRK BORG: Chapter II: The Greed Lineage

[Animalmother]

I think I picked up an oil lantern earlier so in a pinch we could try tossing it at them.

[Stormbringer]

Not a lantern, but you found a can of oil.

And oil is flammable.

[Wrathbone]

To summarise our SWAT entry plan then:

- Margar prepares the bear trap
- Giant swings the door
- Margar slides the trap just into the entryway
- Malaiz tosses the oil can at one of them
- Margar guards the doorway while Giant and Malaiz take shots from behind

Agreed?

(I'll also ask the peasants to watch the stairs)

Let's do it!

[Stormbringer]

Malaiz tosses the oil can at one of them

With the can of oil and the firesteel, and a rag of cloth, you could make a kind of molotov, I guess?

[Stormbringer]

So, Lord Margar opens up the bear trap and lays it on the floor, near the door.

Giant Dances the Sea, his pupils dilating, and largely guided by Precious, opens the door to the throne-room...

Malaiz tears off a strip of cloth and soaks it in the bottle of oil. He uses the firesteel to light the rag...then he leans into the room and hurls it one of the undead?

If so, test Presence, Malaiz! d20 + 3

[Animalmother]

15 + 3

[Stormbringer]

Now roll 2d4!

[Animalmother]

3 + 2

[Stormbringer]

Okay, I've made some modifications to my methods for resolving the battle simulations in the AI. Previously I made the mistake of having the blood-drenched skeletons fight the undead, then the undead lord fight the survivors of that battle. But, instead, I decided to have ALL OF THEM FIGHT AT THE SAME TIME (which is essentially the situation you caused).

Every single time this simulation is run through the AI probability calculator, three undead survive, in very battered condition. The undead lord always dies, and the blood-drenched skeletons always die.

So, you did get your wish after all!


Malaiz hurls his fire-bomb at one of the undead. The jar of oil smashes and the creature is covered in burning oil. It stumbles to the ground and quickly burns away to charred bones!

Two undead remain!

Would Lord Margar or Giant like to use any ranged weapons to take them out?

Huzzah!

Would Lord Margar or Giant like to use any ranged weapons to take them out?

Yes, Giant will fire off his crossbow at one of the remaining undead.

[Stormbringer]

Test Presence, Giant! d20 + 3

[Sly Boots]

Test Presence, Giant! d20 + 3

19 (16+3)

Assuming that's a hit, it's d8 for damage, right? Assuming yes, that's a 4.

[Stormbringer]

Giant fires a bolt into one of the other undead and it drops with a thud!

Margar?

[Wrathbone]

Would it possible for me to drop the Staff, charge into the room, grab my ancestral sword and strike the remaining undead?

If not, I’ll just charge in with the Staff.
