If you were sickened by the yellow mold in the previous
cavern, you take a –2 penalty on your attack rolls for the
first three attacks you make during this combat. This penalty
reduces your attack bonus to +3 (instead of +5). AT THE START OF COMBAT:
Note that you enter this battle
with the same number of hit points you had left after both
the goblin fight and the trap (but don’t forget your potion of
healing if you haven’t used it yet).
Each round, both you and the skeleton get to make one attack. 1) MAKE AN ATTACK AGAINST THE SKELETON (OR USE A POTION):
|
- Roll a d20 and add your attack bonus (+5, or just +3 if you're sickened) to the result.
- If the
total is equal to or greater than the skeleton’s AC (17), you hit
and deal 1d8-3 points of damage to the skeleton.
Write its new
hit point total on your scratch paper
- Alternately, you can use a potion (if you have one). Remember, once you use it, it is gone.
- In place of making an attack, drink the potion and add 8 to your hit points (to a maximum) of 12.
Update your hit points on your notes and cross off the potion on you sheet.
|
The right tool for the job? Your longsword is made for stabbing and cutting through
flesh, and is not a very effective weapon against the dry
bones and armor of the skeleton, so it only deals 1d8–3 points
of damage on a hit. If the total amount of damage dealt by
an attack is less than 1, you do not deal any damage, even
though you hit. |
| 2) NEXT, THE SKELETON ATTACKS YOU:
| - Roll a d20 for the skeleton and add its attack bonus (+4) to
the result.
- If the total is equal to or greater than your AC (16),
the skeleton hits you and you take 1d8 points of damage
Write
your new hit point total on your scratch paper.
|
Go back to Step 1 and continue
attacking each other until either you or the skeleton is reduced to 0 or
fewer hit points.
FROM HERE:- If you defeat the skeleton, go to Entry #23.
- If you are defeated by the skeleton, go to Entry #17.
