R3T25: Tsyra calls back to Santiago, "The mages can shelter in the entranceway! This tower is leaning to the south, and to the south is a cliff!"

She goes to adopt the scarlet einhander stance, but realizes she doesn't have a weapon in hand, so she prepares herself mentally to toss rocks if needed.

R3T24: Ozzy, you felt the loss of Ginny, and your bodies organs are enervated by the severance (1 CON). It could have been much worse, but in her dying moments she seemed to know and did a feedback of as much life energy as possible so you wouldn't be overwhelmed by the loss. What do you do?

Monsters on deck, Kwava in the hole ...

Breathing heavily as he suffers Ginny’s death and runs up most of the stairs, Ozzy shouts again, ”GET TO THE GROUND FLOOR! MOVE!”

R3T10: Kwava gets to the ground floor and moves up against the underwall of the stairs.

R3T9: Lev, you are on the ground floor of the tower with sword in hand. What do you do?

Ago on deck, Cyphermages in the hole ...

[Kvard51]

Lev stops, panting, "Are we evacuating or trying to shelter here? Will there be enough room for everyone?"

R3T9: Lev stops, panting, "Are we evacuating or trying to shelter here? Will there be enough room for everyone?"

R3T6: Ago, you are on the second level with a bunch of cyphermages. People have been running up and down stairs. Enough have been running downstairs you aren't sure if there will be room for you and your current load of relative non-combatants. What do you do?

Cyphermages on deck, Samaritha in the hole ...

Ago will pause at the top of the stairs, allowing the mages to go ahead of him.

Spoiler: OOC

He will delay, coming out of delay after Samaritan and the mages.

[lostsole31]

R3T5: All but one of the cypheramges jams in below. There was one that was on the upper level that stops behind Ago.

R3T4: Meanwhile, Samaritha curses and heads back up the stairs and back to the hospital ward. She opens the locker in there.

R3T3: Visto, what do you do?

Ago, also, you can come out of delay....

[AggressiveBread]

Ago rushes down the stairs as far as he can. He points out the bitten mage to Visto. ”This one was bitten by those creatures. I’ve healed his wounds but I can’t do anything for infection.”

R3T2: Visto, what do you do?

Tsyra on deck, Ozzy in the hole ...

[meemaas]

Visto will turn toward the bitten Cyphermage and start to check him over to determine what the infection might be and what he can do about it.

Spoiler

Visto will use his action to perform whatever checks are needed to determine the above, presumably Heal, and if its something he can't treat, will pass the information on to the others.

[lostsole31]

R3T2: Visto will turn toward the bitten Cyphermage and start to check him over to determine what the infection might be and what he can do about it. He looks to Ago and the others, "Visto cannot tell what might ail Friend Cyphermage. His wound was healed before it could be checked, and he hasn't started showing any illness, so Visto does not know. I would need more time to help Friend Cyphermage fight off possible sickness."

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T25: Tsyra, your readied action did not occur. No enemies are in sight, but easily heard crawling all along the outer walls. What do you do?

Ozzy on deck, enemies in the hole ...

[rypt]

To Lev's question, Tsyra replies, "As many as can fit in here." She gestures through the door into B4. "The rest of us can either take our chances outside, or take cover beneath the stairs, as close to the north face of the tower as possible."

R4T24: Ozzy moves into the room indicated by Tsyra. Standing in a defensive posture and readying his essence. Ozzy's strange footwear seems to disappear, even as a crown made of the elements and forged into an interwined, twisting web of crystalline structure adorns his brown.

R4T14: The continued noises of quiet clacking from the outside.

R4T10: Kwava puts his bow away to have his hands free.

R4T9: Lev, what do you do?

Cyphermages on deck, Samaritha in the hole ...

[Kvard51]

Lev turns to the Cyphermages, "Hurry now! As many of you as can, take shelter where Tsyra indicated. If some of us must weather this out-of-doors, then it will be me." He moves to the door, to step out quickly...

Spoiler: Action

Lev will see if there is enough room for everyone. If not, he will lead all who won't fit out the door and designate someone to close it back as he fends off the beasts.

[lostsole31]

R4T9: Lev turns to the Cyphermages, "Hurry now! As many of you as can, take shelter where Tsyra indicated. If some of us must weather this out-of-doors, then it will be me." He moves to the middle door and opens it. It looks like with the lower floor of the tower and all internal parts of this adjoining building, there should be just enough room.

R4T5: The Cyphermages begin queuing up ... including one straggler that just gets to the ground floor now. However, nobody is brave enough to pass the protector at the head of the line (Lev).

R4T4: Samaritha makes it down to the ground floor.

R4T3: Ago, what do you do?

Visto on deck, Tsyra in the hole ...

As he prepares for battle some of Ago’s prowess rubs off on some of the allies that are able to hear him and see a quick demonstration (Visto, Kwava, Samaritha, Tsyra, and all but one cyphermage; Sol is not on this level, and Ozzy and Lev couldn't see him).

R4T2: Visto, what do you do?

Visto waits, unwilling to leave before the mages get out. He turns to watch Ago while waiting for the others to get out.

R4T2: Visto waits, unwilling to leave before the mages get out. He turns to watch Ago while waiting for the others to get out.

R4T0: A second tremor shakes the tower. It quickly becomes apparent that this tremor is much more significant. Lev, Samaritha, Ago, & Tsyra all fall as the tower begins to sag to the southwest. (Amazingly, the cyphermages kept their balance.) A terrible noise like endless thunder growls louder by the moment. When Ago and Tsyra fell, it knocked them out of stance.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T25: Tsyra, you fell down right at the doorjamb between the tower and its attached building. What do you do?

Ozzy on deck, Monsters in the hole, Visto delaying ...

[rypt]

Tsyra climbs to her feet and then steps out of the doorway to make room for more of the cyphermages. Eyes turned upward, she moves to stand beside Kwava. "I'd estimate a matter of seconds. Perhaps thirty at the very most."

R5T14: The sound of innumerable, powerful claws climbing outside all exterior surfaces continues.

"Partial breach!" calls Sol's voice from somewhere upstairs, but shouted down the stairwell.

R5T14: Kwava instantly leaves his spot under the stairs, crosses the crowded room, and begins heading up the stairwell.

R5T9: Lev, you are prone right now. What do you do?

Cyphermages on deck/in the hole, Ozzy/Visto delaying ...

Lev crawls back to his feet, "Is everyone ok?" A soft white glow surrounds his hands as he begins helping others to their feet. "I can help with healing if anyone is hurt."

R5T9: Lev crawls back to his feet, "Is everyone ok?" A soft white glow surrounds his hands as he seeks to help others to their feet, though the two people near him are fine, so he moves into the main tower. "I can help with healing if anyone is hurt."

R5T5-4: The cyphermages delay, as nobody is "leading" them out the monster-infested outdoors. The same with Samaritha.

R5T0: The ground gives way. The stone tower topples on its side, throwing every creature against the (now horizontal) western wall ... except for Ozzy and a cyphermage who were in the adjoining building to the east. Everyone is technically "prone." Lev takes 1. Samaritha takes 2.

Ozzy, roll a Ref save to avoid being swept away by the landslide!

R5T0: The adjoining building that seemed the smartest point, actually was the worst place to be as the entire partial structure subsides and collapses in a landslide. Ozzy sees the cyphermage that was in the area with him get entirely pulped by the imploding building and falling rock, and only because of poor luck does he fare any better, for Ozzy is now in a mix of jumbled rocks smashing under and over and onto him as he takes 35 ... and is still technically doing so at this time ...

End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

R6T25: Tsyra, you ae prone against what used to be the western wall. A large gap to the east exists that was the tower floor. This tower surely was given magical protection to keep its relatively form as it hasn't collapsed in and crushed everyone. Though below you (underneath the tower where it is on the ground) the sounds there were cut short, there is still the scuttling sounds all over the rest of the tower ... and outside ... even amongst the rumbling. You don't see the adjoining building but there is a large dust cloud outside (and inside at the gaping endcap). What do you do?
