$1000 + Portal IC

Slayn: Yes, you can improvise such a component.

Tyndmyr: After the third shot, he falls from the sky, unconscious and soon to be dead. The fourth shot goes wide, but you're pretty sure no one will be getting to him in time.

Acanous: Take off every Zig. The bomb launches, catapult obviously straining under its weight. The siege engineers aim a particular direction this time; trying to hit a cluster of clerics 65 feet from the walls (85 feet away). (1d20+5)[14] (Profession: Siege Engineer). The shot is off by a bit; and none of the clerics take the crushing damage; it's a mass of zombies that take that. 6 of the clerics are within the bomb's blast, however...

Crushing: (8d6)[33]
Explosive: (8d8)[41]

As before, there's now a huge hole in the earth where there used to be a bunch of zombies and clerics.

(Buying down my LA at 3. That much XP dings me to total level of 8 [barely]. Upping Wis and Con by 1 at 4 and 8 respectively. Rolls to follow are for HP, keeping in mind your round up rule.)

[root9125]

Leadership is fine, but it might be less useful than you hope for; you have to recruit in-world.

[Slayn82]

"Good shot!! Man, reload the catapult, take aim for priests, they are bigger danger now. Hey, Travis, if you make it here until reloaded, its your shot. Acanous, how do you feel?"

Taking breath, Ramos turned to Sien - "Is the enemy reacting to our shots? Still going to the gates? We are becoming very interesting here, good thing the archers are around"

[root9125]

"The local enemy is reacting, as they well should be; pulling back a bit to watch and wait. I imagine the command retinue is at best a bit confused. We'll see what they do."

[Acanous]

"I feel like I could make it rain Holy water if I had to."
(I figured I'd have to recruit in-world. Actually that's supposed to be how the feat works, allowing you to make a leadership roll to recruit in different cities you visit. I'm really taking the feat as one of two prerequisites. Also: Do I have to recruit a Cohort as well? If so, I'm going to use this time while the enemy re-thinks their strategy to find myself a scroll of Summon Planar Ally, Lesser)

[Slayn82]

"What an explendid idea. I like it. Just like Castlevania... Well, ill go Kratos myself - lets shoot them while we have the advantage. Ready? Fire!!!"

[root9125]

From now on, you can roll it. I'll describe the action.

[Slayn82]

Ramos pulled the lever, as Travis seemed to be delayed, sending the oversized bomb flying over the retreating enemies.

Engineering:(1d20)[4] (for the engineer aiming, or my +17 modifier if aplicable)
Crushing:(8d6)[33]
Explosion:(8d8)[30]

[root9125]

You can aim. This bomb crushes what looks like it might have been a command tent, then explodes the tent into a thousand pieces of flying fabric. The tent is gone, but everyone inside is now... flying towards the gate. Under their own power. You recognize one as Pelarch, and one as his Blackguard ally.

[Slayn82]

"Oh, dammit! Guys, give all you got, its the real thing now!" - Ramos entered his Volks Transporter, and started to chant the fastest spells he could pull.

((Feel free to interrupt once the enemy reach us - too bad i didnt got lvl 9 yet))

[Acanous]

"Alright, we've got incoming. I'm heading back to the gate."
Acanous makes for the north gate as fast as he can go, getting ready to cast an AoE buff.

[Tyndmyr]

OOC: Presuming Im finished with the cleric at this point.

Travis isn't find of the idea of more flying things, and rapid shots at the blackguard.
