Our story:
E.T., Thunk, Omar & Quaid rush at the new horror in front of them.
Happyme drops 2 fireballs on the monster.
As the fireballs go out you see they did no damage it was as if they were absorbed into the swirling black mist that makes up the body of the creature.
The monster roars up and sends forth a burst of energy down into the ground. As the ground shakes beneath your feet, it retreats backwards into the church.
You hear a voice in your head “next time”
As you ponder this you see the dead knight start to stand up and see all the gravestones start to shake,
Here is the skeleton
They have long swords that do 1 ❤️ Damage. Sorry I forgot it on the card.
[New Rule]
Mana restore - calling on the magic of the world from any nearby ley lines, an adventurer can spend 4 actions to recover 2D6 -2 mana as long as they are not interrupted.
Let’s Play

ooc: a have one turn left can a attack one more time? if a can a do a dual attack on the skeleton over me (closest to the group)
@rolld20
A dual attack costs you 1 action.
So you can attack twice with your last attack
ooc:good. then a did all my tuns before, and killed the
2 skeleton next to me. :)
Yes. After this encounter I am sure everyone is going to level up
Good job !

You smash the skeleton with your mace and see it is still moving you bring down your 2nd mace caving in its skull.

Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq

3-hits! Which I think kills one but I shoot one more time because fear-adrenaline... @rolld20
“Fireballs & arrows flyin’. Clubs a swingin’. Now THIS is a party”!
Yes 3 arrows kill it.
Here is s break down.
1st arrow (1/2 ❤️) is absorbed by the leather armor
2nd arrow - 1/2 ❤️ Damage it has 1/2 ❤️ left
3rd arrow - 1/2 ❤️ Damage it is dead
You can have the 4th arrow hit a different skeleton if you want
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 5.
Since quaid killed the closest undead, I'll release a fireball at the next closest that has 1 arrow in it. @rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 20.
Roll @rollthedice to see where my fireball lands.
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 5.
5 means it lands short 1 space, but still fries the un-dead. The 2 closest to me are now toast. My card says 1 mana, but the rules say 2, so I'll take 1 more shot to cover my butt in case it is allowed. I aim for the un-dead that makes the point of a triangle if the 2 dead ones form the base of the triangle. @rolld20
I will allow 1 mana for right now. I am trying to balance the mana / damage of the fireball.
Sorry for the confusion
OK, no problem. I realize there will be adjustments.
This game must take a huge amount of time to run; especially if more players join!
Yes a lot 😆
Also your mana only recovers after a rest or with the new mana restore rule I put in the listing.
It is not every turn
Then I'm now at zero because I used 2 here, 4 at the cellar. I'm now useless to the teaam.
Actually you can spend next turn restoring mana
It is the new rule I added.
Or you can borrow a mace from Omar he has 2.
After this encounter the party will level and we will have time to rest and re-equip.
I really appreciate you playing so I can work out situations like this.
Thunk grabs a long sword & tosses it at Happy. “Can your skinny arms swing this”?
Turns to ET, “Silly mages don’t even have staffs to THUNK the darn things”
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 2.
Bulls-eye!!! Not sure if that one is dead or just wounded because of its 1/2 point armor.
Burn baby, burn. Nice shots.
Thanks! I'm hoping we get out of this mess without too much damage on our side.
Hey, do you guys want to laugh, like REALLY laugh? I'm using steemkr.com because it's the only goddamn interface that works here!!!!!
Anyways. Back to topic, I couldn't participate in part 1, but basically I would have spent my actions to heal the bleeding knights before they bleed to death. Now the thing is that there is no range for heal, do I need melee range? Quick answer to move or roll the dice would be appreciated.
What do you feel with a low level heal that is melee (lay of hands)
And one that costs more mana & actions that is a 3x3 area ranged heal ?
3x3 ranged heal is OP and useless ATM since no enemies can do such amount of damage and/ or AOE effects. I'm fine with using a low level heal since I can heal myself, but it's usually unpractical, range 2 at least is a little more practical, though with the DPS we have and the low health of these early enemies it's not really necessary.
As a priest/support character I usually like skills that boost absorption, attack or plain damage (I'm picking freeze surface as my next skill for support and defensive purposes), right now there is no enemy that needs such an approach, but boosting the absorption of a tank during a tough battle could be decisive IMHO. Another modification you MIGHT want to check is to make a faceoff between attack and dodge, where higher attack grants increases in 5%, the same as now, everyone would have 10 attack and 10 dodge base, but you could adjust dodge to certain enemies and adjust attack hit depending on distance or other factors.
I added a bless that boosts allies to hit a few days back.
Oh, sorry, I read the rules every now and then, but bad internet doesn't help much :D
No worries.
I am trying to remember to have a section that states new rules updates on every post.
Melee range
Okay, then I search the ground to see if I find something that can help me fend off these guys (can't do much anyways). @rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 6.
Okay, lucky me I found [insert whatever I found here, lol] on the ground!!! girl power yeah! then I move one square up and two right, staying JUST out of range while moving towards the center in case someone needs healing.
OOC: Have you considered implementing status effect like bleeding or poison?
You found a box tipped on its side it contains
3 of
Range 3 to throw
Yes working on a rule set. Was not planning on putting them up for a few days.
Nice catch
“There’s the bones we were looki’ for”! Thunk runs straight south hopping over dead bones along the way. (3 moves runs 5 squares). Swing the sword at the boney dude @rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 19.
I tripped over the last pile of bones and miss TERRIBLY. I look at the skeleton and smile sheepishly. “Hehe”?
OI! Laddie!! Yous got to aim down... these skellies are just normal human height, not Thunk-height.
Everything is down to me. Except that big black scary guy that ran for the church. Let’s turn these things back into piles of bones and get him!
Yeeha! Now this is more like it! I didn't want to waste good axein' time on an invincible fog! Let me at 'em!
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 14.
Thunk grabs the drunken ET and heads him northeast. “Your headed the wrong way you drunk Dwarf. That skeleton is already dead”.
Arrrgh! I don't know any of your human ways!! In the Dwarven stronghold, we go up for ale and meat and down to mine more Iron and Gold. All this east this and west that, and south-south-east is just a construct you humans invented to give the rest of us headaches.
GM: best post 😀
OOC: Man this is a fun group!
These bony critters, me axe keeps passing through their ribs.. Haha, I might need to bonk 'em in the head.
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.

Ugh.... these guys and their stoopid tattered helmets. Let's keep swingin'
