    Oh, if I have stoneskin, then I'll go melee again.

    Or casting spells that affect metal/wood or whatever on the floating weapons. If BG even has such spells...

    Korgan gets up. "I think they're playing me song," he says. He goes back into the room, facing the set of swords and shields. Both he and the set miss. But Kivan tags him for 2 with an arrow (rolled a 1). Korgan growls angrily. Korgan fights back, striking the shield for 9. It's heavily damaged, but hanging in there. The swords tag him for 20, and Kivan's arrow takes out the shield. Korgan misses, but takes another 12 damage. He's dying, but keeps on fighting (down to 3 hp), Both swords miss, but Korgan takes one out with the help of Imoen and Kivan's arrows. Then, it all goes wrong. After another inconclusive exchange, the sword smoothly guts Korgan in one blow. Korgan misses his last attack and goes down hard.

    Korgan has died.

    There are two full sets and one sword left.

    Alora will join in the missile barrage with her sling. Someone could wear her boots of speed during the fight if they want to (she's got big feet being a halfling)

    Shar-Teel is watching the fight avidly, secretly rooting for the swords to dismember Kivan.

    Maybe this is way too obvious, but would dispel magic dispell the enchantments that are making these things try to kill us?
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    @Jhart1018 I'm going through the bg spell list to see if there's anything that looks like it might affect them now.

    OOC I'm guessing it won't work but there's no harm in trying ...

    If Kivan tries a run through back into the large chamber, everyone in the fountain room might want to come with him. I don't know how many attacks per round the swords and shields get, but more targets means less damage to any particular individual.

    OOC I cast summon Legolas... he can hit anything with an arrow :)

    @Permidion_Stark OOC You're probably right, but Aerie might roll a 20. :) I'll just make sure to be well out of the area of effect. Otherwise, I'll be knocking on a lich's door stark nekkid, figuratively speaking. Almost literally, since Xzara's robe has taken a LOT of abuse...

    OOC And Kivan might find that slightly distracting.

    OOC Isn't Imoen using one of Keldorn's shirts as well?

    I keep shooting, I'm supposed to be one of the best archers in the world :)

    Kivan gets hit twice by the massed swords, for no damage (7 left). He hits the sword, but doesn't manage to destroy it. That's for Alora and her sling bullet. Next round Kivan gets hit twice again, but misses the return stroke, Imoen and Alora also miss. Kivan takes 2 more hits next round. (3 left). He hits a shield, and Aerie finishes it off with a magic missile. Next round, Kivan takes another hit (2 left), but is unable to return the favor. Imoen hits a sword with an arrow, for little effect. The next round takes down the last of the stoneskin protection, but Alora tags Kivan on the back of the head with a sling bullet for 1 damage. Next round, Kivan takes 3 hits for 27 damage. He hits back and hits the damaged sword, but it's still in the fight- until Imoen smashes it with a sling bullet. Next round, he is hit by all the swords, for 43 damage total. He hits one of the swords, but is unable to kill it, while Imoen and Alora miss.

    OOC: acid arrow, dispel magic, polymorph other, protection from normal weapons, disintegrate...just skimmed them but these might work? Doubtful that Aerie has any of them though.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Ooops! Sorry Kivan (I was aiming for Shar-Teel I don't know how I hit you)
  • Awong124Awong124 Member Posts: 2,642
    I think retreating back into the room would be a good idea right about now, then using bow again since the stoneskin wore off.
  • mlnevesemlnevese Member, Moderator Posts: 10,214
    OOC And Coran?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Kivan strikes back, killing the last damaged sword, then stumbles back into the other room to catch his breath. There is one full set left- the hardest, most dangerous set.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Pull Kivan back before he's skewered?
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    @mlnevese That's right. Keldorn did lend Imoen a shirt. She's wearing it over the robe so the locations of the holes don't matter so much. :) Paladins can be so thoughtful.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Sorry, Minevese. No hits yet. The dice have been hosing people left and right. You rolled 2 1s in a row, hitting Kivan for 11 total. (aka OW!)
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    OOC Has Aerie still got a teleport spell? If she has, could she use it to teleport one of the swords away from the other one so we could fight it on its own?

    DM: May I just say 3 words? Killer dungeon- Truth!
  • mlnevesemlnevese Member, Moderator Posts: 10,214
    OOC I said I was one of the best archers in the world! Didn't miss Kivan once! :)

    @permidion_stark and then the skeletons in the room with you rise as one, hungry for halfling flesh.

    @katastrophe @Permidion_Stark Boots of Speed! Boots of Speed! :D

    Eat the big girl! East the big girl! She's got more meat on her!

    Wait a minute? Skeletons can't eat. Where would the food go?
