Small Combat Round 1
Recap for the clueless:
In hopes of obtaining money, xp, and a ride out of here, the PCs have agreed to help Huygens, bartender of Rats and Razors. He gave them their first job, and is basically the 'newb helper/first dungeon guy' like they always have in MMORPGs or whatever.
Huygens' problem is that rats are filling up his basement and have stolen his best liquor, the little turds. Your mission was to go into the sewers, kill the rats, and get back the booze.
Turns out the rat problem is out of control even in the sewers. The soi disant King of Rats, Ren, has lost his crown which apparently allows him to control the rats. One solution would be to kill Ren, but instead, he made you an offer: find his crown, and he'll recall his rats. Additionally, he'll give you whatever booze is left, plus let you meet the secret merchant Rapist Jim, who just might have a way off the island.
Exciting adventure or worst episode of Lost ever? Remains to be seen...
Anyway, so Ren told you the thieves who took his crown, who he referred to crypically as Those-Who-Walk, are past the two-headed dog in the hallway. You headed back there, and took out the dog, only to find... a dead end. You then literally took out the dog, and when you came back, apparently the secret door at the end of the passage was opened... and three dwarves had come out!
They're now fighting you because maybe they guessed correctly that you stole their dog and are here on unhappy business.
...
That's the story. Here's the combat.
The dwarf uses his machine! The metal machine spits out a flurry of spinning shuriken! Everyone make a save to dodge the ninja stars. That's save vs. rod/staff/wand... if you miss, you take 6 pts of dmg, if you make you take 3.
The human midget casts Sanctuary! Save vs. spell if you want to attack him.
The dwarf midget pulls out a two-handed sword (for him) and leaps under your boots, attempting to cut your Achilles' heels. He cuts you good Dag, for 8!
Dwarf is AC:7, human is AC:6, and the dwarf midget is AC:3 because he's like crazy small.
Thak and Dag, whoa, okay, you take down the dwarf in the first round.
