Maybe Tut Was Right
Okay Theodore, you take your crit fumb... and fumble. The guard goes- BR:11, he misses.
Er, no, wait. He has spec and you're AC:8. That's actually a hit. BR:4 +2 for spec is 6 pts. You're at -6.
Someone will want to bandage or heal Theodore Koeppel.
...
Tut, 4 pts will drop the wounded guard.
One guard left on your side.
Thaka grabs the key and unlocks the iron doors to the altar outside. No potions on Duggins, but you didn't do a thorough (boots and all) search, given the time constraints. Let me know if you want to thoroughly search the dead assistant.
This gets the priests' attention. They begin casting. The Ambassador's face flushes with terror, and he goes and hides.
...
Thaka, I'm assuming you'd open the door and move through it. As you get close to the Prince, he comes to momentarily. He's still under the massive press... it's like someone built a logroll around him. If you want to help him, you can lift the press off of him (or keep rolling it forward if you prefer), but the two cylinders are basically touching, so it's not clear what you'll find underneath. Ugh.
The Prince weakly reaches out to you as you rush up and calls out: "Thaka... don't let them... don't let them finish... please just... end it..." He passes out again.
In any case, the priests move to block.
...
The final Holy Warrior steps up to where his friend fell, and raises his metal staff above Theodore's unconscious head. "Drop your weapons!" he cries. "Drop 'em or I'll crush your gnome slave's head!"
Gnome slave?
...
For a low level battle, things have suddenly become very interesting. What will you do?
