Round 2, new player redux
Subject Round 2 actions
If no one else has stopped the guy reaching for the door, Kal will cast MM at him.
Otherwise, if 5 is still alive Kal will attack him. If he's dead, Kal will move and attack 3.

Harp watches as both he and Kal strike at the man in front of them. Damn, why wouldn't he fall? They had to stop the others from making it to the door. He sees Mund head over to the one by the other door, but that would leave the door across from Harp open. Harp attacks the man in front of him, hoping to be able to get to the door in time to stop the others.
OOC: Mark, an attack on #5. If he drops, Harp will move to D4 to block the door. If #5 does not drop, then Harp will take the AOO when he tries to get to D4.

Ran will try to get through to the door where number 2 is in order to stop him from opening the door.
OOC: I will be on Vacation starting Thursday and not be back until the 28th. I will try to check in but it will be sporadically at best. Don't let me hold things up for you guys.

Well our favorite schizo halfling is having problems again. After reading the archives Corey decided that he would not be able to devote the amount of time needed to play the game.
So, I have wrangled up another new player to take over everyones favorite short guy.
Please welcome Bryan Jeffrey. Bryan is known to several of you. He is a long time member of Ornery, so Josh and Jason probably know him.
He has been spending the past couple of days reading the archives for the past couple of months. Hopefully he will be able to step in here in the next day or so.
Bryan is in Iraq now and will be heading over to Korea in the next month or so.
Lets all give Bryan a warm Kalevan hello. Maybe tell him who you are, a bit about yourself and your character.
I'll go first. I'm Mark and I run this show. I am 43, married with 2 kids. I work in a dead end job making enough money to support my family. Kevin is my twin brother who plays in every D&D game I run. Makes it tough to recycle scenarios. :)

Bryan, Welcome. You are wrong.
This is Kevin, Mark's younger twin brother. I am also 43, 2 kids, and I work at a job that I really enjoy and get overcompensated for doing. Just celebrated my 15th wedding anniversary. I play in my brothers games because my parents pay me too. I am in all of Mark's games so I can document his consistent plagarism of ideas from throughout the literary world.
Welcome, and have fun with our little halfling.

Subject Round 2
Round 2
Mund (23),Harp (22), Salix (21), Guards (13), Surin (12), Ranthir (12), Ragnar (12),Kal (11), Ally (7).
Ally shouts "One's at the door behind you Mund." The barbarian grunts and takes a quick look around. Sure enough there was a guard (2) in front of the door, trying to get to his feet, his hands clawing at the door latch. A deep growl in his throat, Mund steps away from the guard who had approached from the north (3) and swings his ax with a backhand motion (AC18, 10+11=21, hit, damage 11). The freezing blade slice through the chain shirt and buries itself in the mans side. The figure crumples to the ground, blood flowing from the huge gash in his side.
Harp sees Mund move and strike down the man to the south. However that left the door on the east wall unguarded and a guard (3) close by. Harp moves, swinging his sword at the guard in front of him (5), (AC19, 3+12=15, miss). He stumbles as he steps by the bunk beds, the furniture throwing off his aim. As he rushes by the guard strikes out at the 1/2 orc's unprotected back, but the enchanted armor turns the blow (AC20, 4+8=12, miss). Harp then makes it to the door, blocking the way.
Salix continues moving through the bunk beds and strikes at the first of the two guards (3) (AC18, 5+5=10, miss). The uncertain footing throws off his aim and his scimitar clangs harmlessly off the mans armor.
Kal's foe (5) strikes at him this time (AC21, 6+8=14,miss) and the elf dances under the blade with practiced ease.
The man in the corner (4) swings his sword at the druid (AC18, 6+6=12, miss). However, the furniture interferes with his attack as much as it did Salix's.
Harp's new foe yells "Help, intruders" and swings at the 1/2 orc (AC20,19+6=25, hit, critical threat, critical threat roll, AC20, 6+6=12, miss damage 3) and the sword bounce of of Harp's helm, leaving a slight ringing in the 1/2 orc's ears.
Surin stays in the back, his throwing ax in his hand, ready to make a toss if one of the guards breaks free.
Ran moves down next to Kal, his sword sketching an arc as it strikes the man (5) with an over head blow (AC19, 9+11=20, hit, damage 7). The sword cuts through the chain shirt and opens him up from shoulder to stomach. The man falls to the ground, trying to keep his insides inside. "Kal, go help Salix and Harp" the 1/2 elf says.
Ragnar moves up next to Ally, trying to see if the tide of battle has turned. Three of the five men were down, but two still had not even been wounded and one of them was calling for help. They had to finish this fast.
Kal needs no encouragement from Ranthir. He moves forward, his body moving like a dance, and when he is besides Harp, he slides his rapier into a weak spot in the man's (3) chain armor (AC18, 9+12=21, hit, damage 10). He pulls it back out, bright red blood dripping down the blade.
Ally waits with Ragnar and Surin, watching the ebb and flow of battle.
OODM: Round over. I need round 3 actions. New map attached.

Howdy!
I'm Porter, and I know Mark from Hatrack and Sakeriver. I'm a 32-year-old father of four, working out of my home in Oregon as a programmer. I played D&D in high school, and then I started playing in a different PBEM game a couple of years ago. I loved it, and Mark was kind enough to let me join up.
My character is Mund (Alemunda), a loudmouth, bigoted, not very bright kick-butt barbarian from the northern tribes. Think Jayne, but with an axe instead of a gun. :)

Hi,
I'm Karl, partnered for nearly 4 years to a great guy named Chris. I live in PA and plan to open a Quiznos franchise in the next few months.
I play Salix Wealdward, a druid who is reluctantly in charge of the current leg of the mission. Reluctant not because he doesn't want to be here. He'd do the thing solo if he had to. He's just not much on leading a group of others, especially a group with varied motives like this one.
Welcome to the game. Where will you be stationed in Korea? I spent two years at Osan AFB in a former life.
