The Wayfinders - Expedition to Tempest Isle

SelcSilverhand · Oct 1, 2008

A moment after shouting a warning, Glaive channels eldritch power into a bolt of energy. It streaks towards the creature and impacts in the center of its chest. Kraken leaps to his feet, pulling his blade from the ground at the same time and rushes the creature. His powerful strike severs branches and vines, staggering the creature for a second. Dorel quickly casts his spell while the creature is distracted. In a bizarre spectacle, all the color from Dorel bleeds away, even light and darkness until he is no longer visible. A maelstrom of light hurtles towards the creature and erupts in a riot of colors. The creature waves its viney tentacles in confusion for a moment before reorienting on its victims. Midian moves away from the lashing vines and shouts for his ape. The creature moves to engage it while Midian begins casting a summoning spell. The ape leaps down out of the trees behind it and tries to slap it with a massive paw, but misses. Whisper unleashes a several bolts of force that streak straight towards Kraken before veering around him at the last moment to strike the creature. The creature lets out a deep groan, like the sound of a tree being felled. It leans down and bites at Kraken, barely missing his head. Its two tentacles swat at Glaive and the Ape and strike them both! The vines begin to wrap around them both, though the ape manages to seize it in both hands and tear it away. The fissure carved by Krakens sword and the blasted bits from Whisper and Glaive's spells begin to knit together. Tiny vines like tendons and muscles slither within the wounds, drawing the damaged sections partially closed!

Glaive
[SBLOCK]
The air seems to thrum like a plucked string as you draw on your eldritch energy. Perhaps it is the nature of the energy, drawn from your demonic gifts, or some other source. You feel the vibration pass from you and flow in the direction you have been traveling.

OOC - You also need to make a DC9 grapple check to avoid the tentacles grip. If you fail you can attempt a second grapple for your round 2 action, or try something else.

Midian Rightson, human druid

The ape, maddened by its brief captivity, tears at the plant creature.

Midian continues to chant, and as he does, an animated fire churns to life behind the creature, lashing out with its flaming body.

[sblock=OOC]So sorry I've been awol. Next week should be much lighter, since the show I'm in is closing over the weekend. I'll sub out Midian's Bull's Strength for the summons: Nature's Ally II, Fire elemental, Small

Fire elemental attacks:

Slam Attack; Slam damage; fire damage (1d20+3=7, 1d4=3, 1d4=1)

Doesn't look like it hits, but if the plant decides to retaliate, it takes 1d4 burn damage and has to make a Reflex save (DC 11) for each hit or catch fire.

Ape attack rolls:
Claw attacks vs. plant (1d20+7=10, 1d6+5=8, 1d20+7=20, 1d6+5=8)

Bite vs. plant. (1d20+2=8, 1d6+2=6)

OOC - You beat it's grapple that it attempted as part of its attack, so now you have an action for this round you can still take.

"I can't give you fire," says Kraken as he continues to pound at the creature with his sword. "What do you reckon to thunder and lightning?"

Midian finishes his chant and a burst of flame erupts behind the creature. It extends itself like a pseudopod and tries to swat the plant creature but misses. Midian's ape roars and attacks the creature in a rage. It lands one powerful blow, rocking the immense body. Kraken and Glaive coordinate their attacks and carve deeply into the creatures mass. The creature retaliates by leaning down and chomping Kraken's upper body. The sharpened bits of wood pull free, leaving splinters in the wounds. It's long tentacles swat at Glaive and Midian's ape, but the primate is the only one struck. The sinuous vine starts to wrap around its body once more! It's entire body seems to be on the verge of collapse before the severed vines and branches reanimate and stabilize the creature.

Midian
[SBLOCK]
Your mind races as you try to remember all the obscure legends and studies regarding animated plant creatures. You suddenly recall a thesis paper written about the Tendriculous plant. It is a highly mobile plant that feeds off of living prey. When stuffed in its maw, powerful poisons paralyze the victim and it is quickly digested. They are difficult to kill as the severed pieces quickly heal and reanimate the creature. You recall that only blunt trauma and acid can kill off the creature permanently.

Sensing weakness, Whisper rejoins the fray, sending another flurry of wildly spinning, yet unerringly guided, magical blasts at the ailing plant monster!

(Magic Missile for 3d4+3...I shall roll when I can, or feel free to roll on my behalf.

Doral pulls out his wand in frustration and decides upon the direct approach as several bolts fly forth from the weapon.

Doral fires from his wand of magic missiles.
