Not really an invasion clip, but this happened to me today. I thought the timing of the Illoke was marvelous.

Here is the shot.

You leap from hiding to attack!
You swing a rolaren waraxe at an Illoke shaman!
AS: +390 vs DS: +339 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +1 = +81
A clean miss.
Rolaren waraxe clashes with granite hammer!
[STR/DU: 90/225 vs. 75/155, d100(Open)= 133]

An Illoke shaman swings a massive granite hammer at you!
AS: +448 vs DS: +607 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +55 = -75
A clean miss.
Not even close.

You attempt to blend with the surroundings and feel confident that no one has noticed your doing so.
>An Illoke shaman howls in furious rage!
'Hah!
>You exclaim, "Hah!"

You leap from hiding to attack!
You swing a rolaren waraxe at an Illoke shaman!
AS: +365 vs DS: +339 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +64 = +119
... and hit for 45 points of damage!
Lucky shot rips through bone and muscle sending right leg flying.
The Illoke shaman rumbles in agony as he teeters for a moment, then tumbles to the ground with a thundering crash!
The Illoke shaman is stunned!

>'Wow...no armor?
You ask, "Wow...no armor?"

A giant stony fist suddenly thrusts out from a wall, and in a heartbeat a massive Illoke shaman steps forth from its surface!

A giant stony fist suddenly thrusts out from a wall, and in a heartbeat a massive Illoke shaman steps forth from its surface!

You say, "Uh oh"

An Illoke shaman swings a huge stone maul at you!
AS: +438 vs DS: +292 with AvD: +36 + d100 roll: +26 = +208
... and hits for 47 points of damage!
Whoosh! Several ribs driven into your lungs.
You are stunned for 5 rounds!

An Illoke shaman swings a huge stone maul at you!
AS: +438 vs DS: +272 with AvD: +36 + d100 roll: +71 = +273

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

Well, the orc was on steriods. Gm Modrian came down and gave me a heal and raise. The explenation I got was "The "thing" the critter is based on is not working properly. It's supsposed to set critter combat numbers to certain values but it's not doing so." But hey, it was fun!

Not the wildest, but it was fun.

[Castle Varunar, Outer Ward]
Just south of you, numerous iron cauldrons have been stacked against the outer wall. The flame-blackened bottoms of the cauldrons show the brutal lengths the defenders would go to while guarding the castle. Oddly, you notice depressions in the dirt where other cauldrons may have sat until just recently. You also see a roa'ter and a rusted wheat scythe.
Obvious paths: east, west.

[Castle Varunar, Outer Ward]
Small depressions in the dirt around you give the area a strangely pock marked look. Scores of melon-sized rocks litter the ground around you, giving the impression that perhaps an angry god once hurled heavy stones against the castle walls from the heavens.
Obvious paths: east, west.

[Castle Varunar, Outer Ward]
Wooden stairs that must have once lead to the ramparts are now lying in ruins on the ground. Almost intact, perhaps removed by decision rather than assault or catastrophe, the stairs present an odd puzzle. You also see numerous rotted canvas and leather slings filled with fist sized rocks.
Obvious paths: east, west.

[Castle Varunar, Outer Ward]
A large killing field opens up before you. The castle builders must have had defense on their minds when they created this area between the inner and outer castle walls. You notice tattered bits of armor and scores of broken arrows littering the large dirt yard. You also see a sturdy haon strongbox.
Obvious paths: south, east, west.

A roa'ter just slithered in.

[Castle Varunar, Outer Gate]
This is the heart of the outer castle wall. The stone blocks that surround you have been expertly hewn and fitted with dwarven craftsmanship. You can almost feel the weight of the 40-foot tall walls that tower above you. You also see a rusted wheat scythe.
Obvious paths: north, south.

[Castle Varunar, Outer Ward]
A large killing field opens up before you. The castle builders must have had defense on their minds when they created this area between the inner and outer castle walls. You notice tattered bits of armor and scores of broken arrows littering the large dirt yard. You also see a roa'ter and a sturdy haon strongbox.
Obvious paths: south, east, west.

[Castle Varunar, Outer Ward]
As you look across the inner ward, gritty dirt gives way to a living granite platform that rises thirty feet above your head. The sheer granite incline ends in another set of walls and appears to be some sort of inner keep.
Obvious paths: east, west.

[Castle Varunar, Outer Ward]
The empty expanse of the outer ward stretches before you. Along the once well-kept walls weeds now grow at the base. A stack of barrels leans precariously against the wall.
Obvious paths: east, west.
