Fiend's Embrace - IC Thread

Land Outcast · Jun 8, 2006

Seeing Harval flanked, Idivien decides to lend a hand. Moving so that the drake ends up between their blades he tries to drop it, going for a stab below its forelegs.

OOC: 5-ft down [Free action], Attack [Standard Action][Mwk. Rapier +9 melee (1d6/18-20), +1d6 Sneak Attack]

Peering into the fog, Gunk spies Gnro battling two of the lizards and aims his next bolt towards one of her foes.

[ooc: Wand of magic missiles 1d4+1 against Lizard #5 assuming it's still up. Whichever looks most wounded otherwise. Wand 48/50]

ROUND 2

Idivien slips into position behind the nearest drake, and lunges with his rapier, but his attack is off the mark. (Idivien's attack misses.)

Aeligim sends his dark companion forth to harrass the drakes, even as he stabs the nearest drake with his rapier. The strike is true, but not yet enough to drop his foe. Though the beast is not wounded quite badly, it still stands. (Aeligim deals 3 points of damage to drake #3.)

Gnro stands fast, and swings her greatclub once more at the nearby drake. The drake, distracted by Aeligim's dark companion, is unable to get out of the way, and suffers another solid blow. (Gnro deals 8 points of damage to drake #5)

Harval cleaves the drake directly in front of him with his greataxe, sending it collapsing to the marshy ground in a bloody heap. Delighting in the carnage, he spins and slashes at the drake behind and to the right as well, with similar results! Harval's third kill crashes to the ground, a nearly unrecognizable mess. (Harval hits Drake #1 for 9 damage, and it falls, dying. Harval makes a cleave attack against drake #3 and hits for 13 damage, killing it.)

Gunk's wand of magic missiles springs to life once more, sending a brilliant energy missile careening into the drake on Gnro's flank. It strikes hard, and appears too much for the reeling beast. The drake lists over to one side, seemingly barely able to stand.(Gunk's magic missile strikes drake #5 for 4 damage, and it is now disabled.)

The drake just struck by Gunk's magic missile puts its head down and stumbles sideways, apparently looking to depart the field of battle, even as the last two healthy drakes continue the fight. One bites at Harval, but cannot penetrate his breastplate. The other snaps at Gnro, but it has no better luck. (Drake #4 attacks Harval, but misses. Drake #5 takes a 5' step. Drake #6 attacks Gnro but misses.)

END ROUND 2

"Tssk, I'll have to clean thiss" says Idivien as he moves towards his next target.

When he gets again in flanking position, this time with the fiendhunter, the Tiefling launches another attack.

And he musters "Ssomeone help Gnro"

OOC: move left, up left [move action]; Attack #4 [Standard Action][Mwk. Rapier +9 melee (1d6/18-20), +1d6 Sneak Attack]

Harval stomps over across the soggy ground, squelching to Gnro's rescue.

"What's the matter, family feud?"

He swings his gory axe at the back of the felldrake attacking her.

Voadam · Jun 12, 2006

With a gesture the dark companion leaps to the side of the little lizardwoman to harass the felldrake still assaulting her. Aeligim's movements are liquid grace as he brings his rapier to bear against another felldrake.

ooc
If Idiven does not drop Drake number 4 Aeligim will stab it while it is still under the curse of his companion and flanked by Idivien and Harval, then send the companion off to aid Gnro.

If Idiven kills the drake then Aeligim will send off the companion to join Gnro on her left, then move himself to stand next to Gnro (not flanking but provoking no AoOs) and stab that drake.

hafrogman · Jun 12, 2006

With an almost negligent wave of his hand, Gunk sends yet another bolt flying into the fray, hoping to finish this battle as soon as possible.

[ooc: Magic missile against whichever lizard is most injured, barring #5. 47/50]

ROUND 3

(OOC: Knowing that Rayex will be unavailable until tomorrow, I'll go ahead and NPC Gnro again.)

Idivien slinks around the back of the closest living drake, and connects from the rear with a rapier thrust. The strike deals a serious looking wound to the small dragon that elicits a yelp of pain. (Idivien moves to flank drake #4, hits for 13 damage, including sneak attack.)

Aeligim follows up with a rapier strike of his own, and also penetrates the drake's scales. This second rapier thrust is too much for the drake, and it falls over with a grunt. Aeligim waves his dark companion over to Gnro's aid as he withdraws his blade from the drake's side. (Aeligim hits drake #4 for 6 damage, and it goes down, dying.)

Gnro takes the measure of the last healthy drake with her greatclub, but her two-handed swing is off the mark and misses.(Gnro attacks drake #6 with her greatclub, but misses.)

Harval charges across the cold, damp earth and lashes out with his greataxe, delivering a fearsome blow to the final drake. The creature is savagely wounded, and seems barely able to hold its footing. (Harval hits drake #6 with his greataxe for 16 damage.)

Gunk, eager to bring this battle to a close, unleashes yet one more magic missile from his wand. The bolt of energy unerringly strikes true, felling the last of the drakes! (Gunk's magic missile strikes drake #6 for 3 damage, and it falls, dying.)

(OOC: The only drake still alive is #5, and it continues to drag itself away from the fight. You can choose to kill it or let it go, as you see fit. For all practical intents and purposes this battle is over. Feel free to role-play the aftermath if you wish, and then I'll move you on.)

END COMBAT

Voadam · Jun 12, 2006

As Aeligim wipes the blood off his rapier and resheathes it his shadow panther harasses the fleeing wounded drake. With a gesture the shadowy cat stops raking the lizard and in one flying leap returns to be absorbed into the elf's magical being.
