Drowquest [4e] Raiding the Road (Hiatus)

Evilhalfling · Feb 18, 2009

Abbil-Belern’s two training patrols are out with a pair of regular patrols. The Captain has recently arrived with his lieutenants. Caliban, your patrol leader is going over battle positioning and reviewing the handsigns that allow you to communicate as if you could have full discussions in another place entirely

The patrol groups are spaced out in a large cavern, several days travel from the Vault of the Drow. The company has used this cave before, and bedrolls were pulled from a hidden compartment. Caliban led you to a small alcove off one side of the cavern.
The alcove is 15’ wide and 10’ deep, with the spider crammed into a back corner. Half way up the wall.

Without warning the cavern begins to shake and the ceiling collapses with a thunderous roar!
Caliban was just outside the alcove, he leaps for the alcove left wall but is pinned under a boulder, and half buried in loose rocks.
Drisdaun and Rantyr are both injured by debris.

As a few rocks continue to fall, You hear a voice in undercommon: “Now finish off the survivors, and collect our trophies.”

OOC: Reflex attacks 5,7,7,9,10; Drisdhaun 17(dmg 7), Rantyr 15 (10 dmg)
Caliban hit (plot dmg)

Nashquiri will raise his staff defensively in front of himself and attempts to back away from any threats he sees.

Drisdhaun glances around the area glancing for any potential threats. Perception = 2

Drawing his sword he glances over at the rest of the patrol, the fingers of his off hand dancing out a question "Anyone hurt?, situation report"

An answer arrives from Rantyr on the cavern floor.

"If you would but look, dear Drisdhaun, you would have your answer," he says sarcastically.

Rantyr retrieves himself from the ground, several scratches visible on his face and a bit of blood streaming near his wrist where he caught his fall.

"Blasted rocks."

OOC: Initiative 8, if needed (For some reason I put -1 instead of +5 into the roller, which is why invisible castle says 2 and not 8 (I must have been looking at perception)

Javilex rolls over and throws his hands up over his face to cover his head as the shaking and crashing thunders through the caverns. For the several seconds as the collapse echoes and echoes, he lies sprawled on his bedroll right below where Saereth hangs on the wall. "What is the blazes is going on?!?" he shouts over the din.

Once the rockfall draws to a close and the voice bellows out, the drow scrambles to his feet and grabs ahold of his large curved blade, taking it lightly in both hands. He gives a high-pitched whistle, and immediately the tarantula scrambles down the wall and stops by his side.

"The report would be one of trouble, I'd say." Javilex replies.

Vorgrym was spreading his own bedroll out, when the cavern began to shake and the ceiling collapsed. Leaping nimbly to his feet, he draws his blades, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve until the dust settles. "I'm fine, here."

The ceiling collapse appears total, with the entry to the alcove filled with a virtual wall of stone and earth. Through the wall you can hear muted violence but nothing distinct. Digging through the blockage could take minutes or hours depending on the extent of the collapse on the other side.

In your small alcove the crushed Caliban gives a long moan of pain.
The last of the flying debris strike Drisdhaun and Nashquiri, while Javilex seems to have gotten back out of the way. The dust begins to settle.

Djaar presses up against the front wall of the alcove, with good cover from the entrance, he doges a rock that rolls at him.
Javilex squeezes into the corner.

OOC: Reflex attacks: 7,8, Djaar 14(miss), Drisdhaun 15 (4 damage) Nashquri 19 (11 dmg) ; Javilex – safe.
row 1 is difficult terrain, the corner space is a squeeze.

Vorgrym

Vorgrym looks around for another way out of the cave-in. If he doesn't find any, he berates his comrades. "Dig! Or move so I can!"
