Terra Subterranea and The Caverns of Lost Time

Dalamar · Feb 13, 2008

OoC: I kept pondering what exactly to buy of the myriad combinations, and then kind of forgot and the adventure started. Zack doesn't actually have a single magical item.

The good thing is that if any AC enhancers are found in the treasure, there's going to be use for them. (That sounded a lot more positivi in my head)

Assuming he can get to the cave with a single move action, Ducane manifests Force Screen (+4 Shield to AC, total now 21 against monster), then screams something nasty at the creature while backing to the cave to wake the others.

If he can't get there in single move, he double moves instead, trying to get the creature to follow him.

OOC: Rystil: You referred to Ducane as Zack in your last combat post.

(OOC: Oh, you're right, I did do that once

)

*Because he advanced slightly to attack before he began his attack, Ducane would be too close to the edge of the cave to be safe (exactly at the mouth) if he only took a single move, so he moves twice and yells loudly to awaken his companions. With no storm in the way and the echo of his voice in the cave, it wakes everyone up easily.*

(OOC: Everyone else's turn now. But they start off prone and disoriented from waking up, so they don't know what's going on. Also, those who usually wear armour heavier than light are not wearing it now (if you were canny and bought a (mithral) chain shirt or some such to wear at night, you can have that on of course, and those with the Endurance feat can be wearing medium) )

Eternity wakes at the sound of Ducanes shout and manifests Force Shield almost on instinct. "What's wrong?" she asks hastily as she rises.

ooc: AC 21, she leaves her darkwood shield on the ground for the moment.

Opale, open her eyes and scratch them with her hands. "What is happening?" Seeing Duncane at the entrence with his weapon out and no Zack around, she quickly cast the first spell coming in her mind, a Haste spell to englobe everyone.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Move action to awake and Standard to cast Haste. Opale is still prone.

Note: Haste gives +1 Att bonus, +1 AC bonus, +1 Reflex and one more attack in full attack and speed increase by 30 feet (maimum doubling your movement).[/SBLOCK]

Rystil Arden · Feb 13, 2008

(OOC: So I guess Haste is the 3rd-level non-Illusion spell she is still prepping despite prepping 3 Phantom Steeds?)

*Ayanel yawns, though her eyes bolt open instantly.*

"What indeed?" she wonders, rising quickly, a process which is aided by the fact that she doesn't take off the band of cloth that ties her long dull brown hair into a manageable ponytail for traveling even when she is asleep.

*Still, as she rises, she draws a small slender rod-like object with a spiral pattern around it topped by a sapphire, brandishing it as if it were a viable weapon, or perhaps a protection.*

OOC: Yupe, as I said earlier, I don't have Fly, Stinking Cloud and Dimension Door (yes, I have prepared a phantom steed in a 4th level slot) on each day I have to prepare Phantom Steed.

"There's a monster, and Zack is down. I'm going back!", Ducane says, manifests Force Screen and moves back out (unless the creature comes after him before he can act again of course).

Rystil Arden · Feb 13, 2008

(OOC: Still waiting on Michael and Hulgyr)

ajanders · Feb 14, 2008

Michael's pre-bed routine has been a certain source of amusement for the party.
Feet go carefully towards the fire.
Shield goes by the left hand, face down, far corner propped up on a rock.
Hammer goes by the right hand, handle facing inward, wrist loop placed on top of the handle.
Medicine bag is set in the middle of the camp three paces from Ayanel's right foot: likely Ayanel has tripped over it at least once.

The exact point of this has been obscure until now, when Michael leaps out of his blanket, snatches his weapons, and bolts towards his medicine bag.
He finds himself moving unexpectedly quickly and skids to a stop next to his bag and between the casters and the cave mouth.
