Hurgar, turn 39:
Hurgar trips.



Zargon, turn 39:
As they help Hurgar to his feet, the heroes find themselves surrounded by sounds of heavy footsteps.



Caranthir whirls around just in time to take the courtyard guardian's sword right in the face!

mikemacdee rolled 4 6-sided dice:

He just barely throws his defenses up!

mikemacdee rolled 4 6-sided dice:

WHACK! The blow isn't lethal, but Caranthir loses 2 BP and is bleeding badly...

End of turn. Round 40 commences.

Kili removes the robe 'cause things are gonna get messy (if he ever put it on). "Retribution and death!" He runs to battle, hammer held high above his head.

Down it comes with the force of both hands.

Kili, turn 40:
Kili makes a noble charge attack against the first guardian, but all it does is draw its attention from the elf.

[The Road Warrior]

Caranthir whirls around just in time to take the courtyard guardian's sword right in the face!

Caranthir Movement:

"Finish him off Hurgar, I'll hold off the monster in the next room"
Caranthir fumbles for his Potion of Defence as he moves 5 squares north.

[mikemacdee]

Caranthir, turn 40:
After further injuring the weakest guardian, Caranthir pivots gracefully and dashes four (EDIT: five) steps north to face off against the north guardian, blocking its entry to the fireplace room (let me know if you'd rather move the full five steps).



The injured guardian shows no emotion, but appears ready to collapse.

[The Road Warrior]

Caranthir, turn 40:
(let me know if you'd rather move the full five steps).

5 steps please

"Finish him off Hurgar, I'll hold off the monster in the next room"
Caranthir fumbles for his Potion of Defence as he moves 5 squares north.

Mike is probably already on top of this, judging from things so far, but...

This appears to be instructions for Mike to include 2 extra combat dice for defense when the Chaos Warrior attacks Caranthir in the north room. Just wanted to clarify, as this is the optimal time to use his potion. What I wonder is, can Road Warrior wait until after the attack for the decision, just in case the CW whiffs? It might be best to allow Road Warrior to roll his Defend dice, so he can make the decision on the spot, like in a standard game.

Then again, page 22 of the US Instruction Booklet, under How A Monster Attacks says, "If hit, the Hero immediately defends by rolling its Defend dice." Drinking a potion at any time vs. immediately rolling Defend dice...hmm. How do you plan to handle this, Mike?
