((I knew this was a good idea))

I'm an experienced GM as well.

they die. the next person the waiting list will join as a new migrant.

Turn 2: the "Fight"
Players
Idem Valan

Run to Wropest and throw my dagger at a Hollistic spawn's chest/maw/wherever it's heart is. Keep Wropest from getting eaten.
Mage! You take care of them and i'll take care of you! I doubt my pathetic spear will work so i'm just a shield.

2)you run like the wind to Wropest, baring your dagger intimidatingly. Surprisingly, the spawn actually seem to be intimidated by you. smirking at your dominance over indomitable creatures, you decide to teach them a lesson. you throw your knife at the middle one as hard as you can. it goes spinning end over end... but the hilt bounces right off of the spawn and lands with a plop onto the ground at its feet. they seem confused about your intentions.

that worked out well.

Ekul Thomoipan

Throw my mug hoping a spike hits the obsidian heart

1) taking note of Idem and his wonderful knife throwing skills, you throw your mug at the spawn. unfortunately, you were never good at throwing anything ever. you throw it straight up in the air and it breaks on your head. 1) you fall to the ground in pain. -15 HP

you luckily don't appear to be bleeding.

Wropest Abodip

"The gods of battle may have forsaken me, but I am a priest of the snow and ice!"
Pray that the blood rain above the spawn freezes into jagged crimson hail.

4) you dropped down on your knees immediately and begin praying fervently. "Oh god of ice and snow and all things uncomfortably cold but not ice, I pray! Help us in our time of need!" the rain around you turns to blood snow and you know that you have reached the gods.

"Yo, what's up?" a booming voice asks.

"Oh lord, please, turn this rain to hail as to strike down our enemies!"

"Doneza." The booming voice says. then it's gone. Then... it begins blood hailing. on everyone.

Dodge rolls: Blood hail
Wropest: 6) the gods have seen fit to avoid hitting their servant. others are not so lucky.
Luthian: 4) You break dance away from the hail
Idem: 5) you deflect hail by spinning your spear above your head
Emong: 5) your hood is pretty good at deflecting the stuff
Ekul: 4) you roll under a tree to avoid the brunt of the hail
(seriously, you all got good rolls? the hell?)

Spawn 1: 5) Spawn 1 follows Luthian's break dancing example, but does even better. everyone applauds.
Spawn 2: 2) Spawn 2 is the dumb one and in trying to get into cover, actually gets hit by more hail. 1) the hail overcomes the spawn and pummels him to the ground.
Spawn 3: 3) Spawn 3 stays still and is struck mildly by hail. 4) it doesn't do much damage though...

The hail subsides with little effect.

Emong Daggerbeard

RUN AWAY! BACK TO THE GROUP!

4) You retreat and use Luthian as a sheild against any attacks that come toward you.

Luthian Nuradil

Draw dagger, do not get involved.

6) you draw your dagger and hit Emong on the head with it. he can find someone else to be his meatshield.
Emong -3 HP

NPCs
Spawn 1

Attack the retreating dwarf (Emong)

2)the first spawn runs toward the offending dwarf, but slips in the bloody puddles around him.  4) he appears to be uninjured though.

Spawn 2

stand up and howl at the priest

3) the second spawn stands up, but chokes on ice when it tries to howl.

Spawn 3

Attach smelly Elf. (Idem)

3) The smelly Elf has no problem dodging your attacks.

Environment: Bells are sounded in the distance and three more figures emerge from the darkness. you prepare for the worst, but find that the three newcomers are dwarves. each one had the fortress's trademark pike and one of them seemed to be wearing some sort of metal skirt.

the one in the metal skirt immediately began shouting. "Fear not wonderful migrants, for the dazzling Draignean has come to your aid along with Fischer and Awl, but mostly it is I, Draignean, who is your savior!"

looking at my doomed save, Fischr survived. I should've guessed.

If you tossed her in the fire she'd survive.

btw, autocrossbows are actaully real and were widely used for thousands of years. I'm just making up how mine works, though. I don't actually know much about them.

I'm hoping to get in another turn tonight, but not counting on it. turns will probably be every other day

Cripple? maybe. Incapacitate, though? That's the important thing.

That's the idea. I can't really pierce their hearts very well without a weapon, so I've just gotta do what I can. Maybe a bloodsicle will get lucky and shatter the heart though.

6) the dagger goes right through the spawn, all the way around the world and imbeds itself into your back, piercing the heart. -100 HP
