In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 69):

the vampire is wearing light cloth armor, so this stake fails. the blow to the head, he shrugs off for now.

the red mist drifts out of the cellar past him.

the 0.5 doubles DR

"Over here you ugly thing," Balir says in attempt at provoking the vampire. Then he drops his axe and takes a wooden pick-axe from his belt. - It is basically a wooden stake with an axe-handle on it.

OOC: Since I don't have any fast draw skill, changing weapon takes 1 round.

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 72):

Kirpich checks how chunky is restraining the woman before recasting stone missile.

[Private to GM: Rolled 6 under skill...]

Aethul mnages to get the tip off the arrow, drops it ina pocket and swings his bow around.

[Private to GM:  12:34, Today: Aethul rolled 7 using 3d6.  DX remove Arrow head quickly. DX is 13 ]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 73):

the woman is unconscious

In reply to Farm worker (msg # 75):

the Vampire stabs Balir Balir critically but fails to penetrate his armor.

In reply to Tower Courtier (msg # 76):

"Chunky, tie her up!"

He Knocks his wooden shafted arrow and draws aiming for the place where the vampaire would have a heart abd throgh the gaps balir's blade has made in the armor.

[Private to GM:  19:31, Today: Aethul rolled 14 using 3d6.  Bow Shot.  Skill is 17 and range should be close, like 6' or less
19:34, Today: Aethul rolled 5 using 1d6+1.  Arrow Damage. reduced for being wood only, but still impaling ]

"HAHAHA! You pansy wimp! Is that the best you can do? PATHETIC!!!" Balir does the best he can to make sure the vampire is focused on him, and then swings his wooden weapon, aiming for the heart.

OOC: Well, RAW says -3 to aim for vitals (which includes heart), but I think when it is only the heart alone it is a lot less than -3. Maybe -8? Since I rolled a 13 vs skill 17 I am pretty sure I missed (though I would hit with up -4). On top of that there may be further minuses from using a weapon made of wood as the balance of the weapon would be off a bit.
Still I will roll damage. Maybe I can do some damage to the armor or something. I rolled 8 for normal damage, but since it is made of wood, I would assume it is less.

17:52, Today: Balir Ironhide rolled 13 using 3d6.  Wooden pick axe vs heart (skill 17 minus modifiers)
17:55, Today: Balir Ironhide rolled 108 using 2d6+3.  damage with wooden pick axe. (I rolled with +3 as that is what I do with the axe. However normal damage would be 2d+1, so I removed 2 damage from the roll. My bad.)

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 79):

that counts as a torso hit, as the wooden weapons are -2 to hit. RAW says vitals, so only -3... total penalties are-5.

that was still sizeabke damage, and he is now stuck

In reply to Narrator (msg # 80):

The Arrow   [msg 78] do anything?

In reply to Aethul (msg # 81):

Kirpich will assess the situation before unleashing his missile...is the stuck vampire incapacitated?

How are Chunkies efforts with the woman going?

======
OOC: Paused to clarify "stuck"..

In reply to Aethul (msg # 81):

the arrow also did some damage, but as it wasn't in the vitals,not a lot.

chunky barely has thumbs, and has no rope use skill. the woman is bleeding out.

He just draws another arrow and nocks it.

"Hold on tight, Balir!" encourages Hannatti as rapidly pulls out another stake. She tries again to throw it so as to pierce the vile creature's heart but misses critically. "Will you save the woman, Kirpich?"

======
OOC: Some totally helpful comments by Ardenas & Jareth on 'weapon grappling' in the "Out of Character 10" chat thread! (For which, TY, both!
Seems to give it -4 to defend against our attacks!
19:09, Tue 01 Feb: Hannatti rolled 15 using 3d6.  Thrown knife (stake) 16
19:28, Today: Hannatti rolled 17 using 3d6.  Thrown knife (stake) 16-3(vitals)=13.

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 86):

Figuring that the others have the Vampire, but needing to be rid of the stone missile, Kirpich flings his missile at the creatures head...it is a remarkably good shot and should at least distract it.

He then moves over to the woman to assist her.

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 under skill-7 for head, so hit unless dodged, 13 cr damage to head...stun?

Rolled 9 under skill, Minor healing, to stop her bleeding out.]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 87):

the vampire is partially knocked back, pulling zbalir with it, as Hannatti's stake strikes the dwarf on the shoulder!

roll damage, Balir is DR5

Kirpich ia able to stop the bleeding,  the woman is still unconscious.

======
OOC: It's a (0.5) weapon, so his armour is DR10 against 1d6 dam. Not sure there's a point, but here we go:
18:15, Today: Hannatti rolled 6 using 1d6.  stake damage.

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 89):

Balir feels the stake brush his shoulder.

He looses the Arrow at the Vampires heart, hoping the wooden shaft will do the trick.

[Private to GM: 11:45, Today: Aethul rolled 4 using 3d6.  Bow Shot to Heart.
11:54, Today: Aethul rolled 5 imp using 1d6+1.  Arrow Damage.]

Balir tries to take the vampire to the ground by pulling violently at his wooden pick.

OOC: I have no idea how to proceed with this as I don't know about Fantasy Dungeon grappling now weapon grappling.
Tell me what to roll please.

======
OOC: Paused for GM nod to continue (i.e. next round).

[Private to Balir Ironhide:
======
OOC: @Balir - I'd suggest you might want to clarify intent to the GM. e.g.  'Pulling vioelently on the pick' could be taken as 'tearing it free for extra damage (which the vampire heals pretty quickly) and thus ending the grapple'.  Or the other intent might be 'Holding on strongly to the pick so as to maintain the grapple (thus reducing the vampire's mobility and panalties to some actions)'.]

In reply to Aethul (msg # 91):

as the arrow strikes the vampire in the vitals. it stiffens and collapses. Balir's pick rips out, leaving a bloody wound!



someone make an undead lore roll at -3

Now Let's pound that stake in next to my arrow. Come morning, the sunlight will permanently fix it.
