OOC: I'll see what I can do about posting more often. Also, are there any bonuses related to being prone? I know you get a bonus against ranged attacks...

OOC:

A prone creature grants combat advantage against melee attacks, and gains a +2 defense bonus against ranged attack. Other types of attacks are unmodified.

treex · Jul 30, 2011

OOC:

Well, now that both the undead are prone, this shouldn't take long...

Round 7 – Beach Party

Round 5
Round 6 [/sblock]
Ixenvalignat sees the creature that refuses to die,"You just don't learn, now do you?" He rounds once more on the undead thing, but it ducks, and the dragonborn nearly decapitates his friend, "Sorry. That didn't quite work the way I wanted it to." (MISS)

"No worries... Just...", Finnean's blade impales the zombie. "...distract him for me!" (HIT)[FONT=&quot]

[/FONT] Jesse caught up with the rest of the party but the clash was about to end..."Spirits of the Earth, swallow my enemies! Let them rot in the sulfurous pits of HELL!" Jesse's eyes burned with furious flames as he stared down the undead...but the Deathlock Wight was too distracted to pay much attention to the tiefling. Nonetheless, the sand shifts before him and he falls flat on his face. The Dead One is terrified as a pit has opened up on the golden shores, threatening to swallow him whole. (HIT and kills dead one 4 & MISS)

*Cyrus darts forwards taking advantage of the fallen foe upon the ground, slashing out at the wight with his rapier. Hitting nothing but sand as the wight rolls off to his side.* (MISS)

The wight tries to stand, but from the edge of the jungle, a fist sized rock flies out to strike the undead in the head, dropping it… well dropping it like a stone, its undead energies escaping its mortal shell. A bedraggled-looking bugbear steps from the forested interior and onto the beach and looks warily at the heroes on the beach.

Damien looks about nervously – as if searching for something. ”Where is Ardens!”, he questions more to himself than asking his companions. An eldritch light begins to surround Damien’s head. He drops his favored bow and clamps his head, large hands pressing his temples. Bending over as if he’s going to be sick, he starts to moan piteously. Jesse can literally see the arcane energies emanating from the bugbear’s head (some type of geas or charm). Suddenly, the bugbear straightens in apparent seizure, and then almost quicker than the eye can follow, he grabs his bow and speeds off into the thick jungle fauna with nary a word to his companions.

GM:

Damien has taken his leave from Desolation Island to search for his companion Ardens. They will be missed.

Obviously the encounter is over! I'll post again tonight or tomorrow morning. I want to allow enough time to level up and for pacdidj to introduce himself

Crashing out of the forest to check the results of his stone throwing handiwork comes the most oddly dressed bugbear you've ever seen. He wears a heavy set of scale armor, covered in spikes at the shoulders; a truly massive pear of iron gauntlets, similarly studded; and over it all, what can only be called a costume: A half-face mask of blue and gold with some sort of insect embroidered on the forehead, and a matching if tattered cape, also decorated in blue and gold filigree.

[sblock=Fierro]

[/sblock]

"What this?," he asks, eyes wide, as he spots the party. "More ghosties? No not ghosties, only puny Daunton people."

"Greetings puny Daunton people! I am Fierro, ¡El Matascarabajos!'," he booms, drawing himself up into a sort of parade rest stance, arms crossed, and pausing, obviously expecting some sort of reaction to this title. When none is forthcoming he looks a little bit deflated.

"Maybe you have way get off this island, yes? Fierro tries asking other goblins he found, but they chase him off. ¿Por que los hermanitos me attacan? They must be backward tribe if they never heard of Fierro, greatest beetle wrestler in all of Hzakan Empire!... Say, why you Daunton people here? You get shipwrecked also? And where all these ghosties come from?," he asks, motioning to the freshly redeceased corpses.

OOC:

Fierro, ¡El Matascarabajos! - Level 2 Bugbear Fighter - reporting for duty!

Son of Meepo · Aug 11, 2011

OOC:

Darksteed · Aug 11, 2011

OOC:

Hmm lots of bugbears lately. Heh.

Leveling up complete.

treex · Aug 12, 2011

OOC:

D: An onslaught of posts! It's really late here, I'll catch up in about 7~9 hours. Will level up Jesse and maybe RP something IC

EDIT: Leveled and ready. I'm quite sure I missed something but...awaiting approval!
Took Spectral Image, Shield(Spellbook) and Enlarge Spell feat. I'll be standing by while Ixen talks to El Fuerte.(I'm aware that Shield is a really good utility, but I'm gonna go for some fluff

*As the rock slams into the Drealock Wights head and it collapses to the ground in a heap. Cyrus moves into a more hunched aggressive stance. Both blades in hand ready with whatever came next. As the large bugbear sprang out of the nearby woods, he would remain watching the being intently. He growled lowly at the new found threat. After a long long moment of the bugbear's idiotic speech, he would stand to his full height. The large Khan towering over the rest of the party. Sheathing both his blades, and redrawing his deep cowl over his head. He looked to Ixen.*

You can deal with the eccentric one.

*Speaking with a low growl. He would turn and start rummaging through the dead corpses for anything of use or value.*

[sblock=OOC]Great to have you on board Fierro! Welcome welcome. Awesome to see we now have something that can take a hit. Yay for defenders.[/sblock]

[sblock=Actions]Cyrus is looting the courses and surrounding area. Looking for anything of use or value to the party.[/sblock]

Ixenvalignat shrugs toward the bugbear, "Oh don't mind him. He's just like that." Seeing the bugbear is more of a help than a threat, the dragonborn returns to the skiff to retrieve his shield.

OOC:
