No worries, and thanks for dropping by to say you're closing the game. So many GMs just disappear. So to wrap up the game: we defeat the rogues and zombies, find a vast treasure hoard behind the next door, and we all retire and live like kings in Patagonia, right? ;) I can finally open that smithy ...

YBN,
Thanks for running a game. Just the other day I realized it had been over 2 years since this campaign started!

May all your dice roll crits.

Pyrrhic smirks at the leader, "Do you even know how to use that? It's more than just stabbing with the pointy end! Why do the rest of you follow this wretch? He's not smart, and he can't even use a sword!" Pyrrhic pushes the leader slightly off-balance with his shield block, driving the sw...

Pyrrhic swings his sword around, bringing it back in an overhead-arc down towards the leader the group. To hit with Longsword: [1d20+1] = 17+1 = 18, damage: [1d8+1] = 3+1 = 4 "You came here looking for easy prey, and instead you've found your doom. If you flee now, I won't track down those of y...

Eeek! Hope you get it all figured out. We'll be here when you return.

Pyrrhic steps forward, sword at the ready, striking into the leader. "There is no such thing as sport. There is gold, there is honor, and there is death. I will not lose my gold by force, I can not give you honor that you do not have, but when you threaten those that travel with me the only thi...

Pyrrhic keeps his hand on his sword hilt. Waiting for Simoni to either talk our way out of this, or give the signal to defend.
In the case of defense, Pyrrhic will close into the first rank, hoping to immediately kill the leader.

Sounds like it's a fight then?

DM, how wide is the hall here? How many will be needed to form a front-line / how many people will the front-line be exposed to?

How's everyone feeling about these 9 guys?
Should we try some negotiations, or start with the hackity-stab?

Pyrrhic lets out an audible sigh and grumbles to himself: "The one time I forget to watch our flank. It's the goblins all over again." Pyrrhic turns around to see who's addressing them, while slowly reaching for his sword. "If you're so concerned about sport, hows about we let you and...

Pyrrhic will move back behind the portcullis, drawing his bow.

Pyrrhic draws his sword, rushing to the front line, ready to strike when one comes close.

Pyrrhic chuckles. "In this gloom, many things can cause all matter of men to break. Do not let it bother you, and let us continue to greater treasure!"

Pyrrhic will regroup with the others, standing guard watching the rear.

Pyrrhic shakes his head as Milo comes back in a hurry.
"Were there any exists in there? Or can we just leave scary-tooth-face there and come back later with some Holy Water?"

Pyrrhic thinks for a moment and adjusts his helmet.
"The beast hasn't followed us into the hall, so perhaps it's a clever ruse. Those of the tricky arts, what do you think?"

"Lets leave, regroup and re-assess. Perhaps we need stronger magics and faith to deal with this thing."

I will attempt to cover the rear if/as we retreat as a group.

Looks like I got here just in time. Something frightful is afoot!

"Friends! Do not let this this shake your resolve, but I do think a tactical retreat is in order."

I'll grab the dropped torch (if safely possbile) and back out to join the rest of the party.

Sorry for my absence!
I quit receiving emails from the forum for some reason, so I had assumed there were no new posts.
I'm catching up and will jump in shortly.
