Adventure: The stolen staff (DM: Someone. Judge: Luinnar)

Randal suddenly wakes up " uhhh... Ryan why does my head hurt... " and takes a peak out of the hole in the sack " WHAT in the name of GODS is that THING! " he says referring to the strange creature.

Seeing that Ryan is in motion towards the monster he yells " Don't you dare get closer to that thing! ". Ryan completely ignores Randal's request and charges the monster on the right, while yelling out to Shun " Ill take this one, you take care of its cousin. "

Standard: Charge Monster on the right. Should end at square 0U. Gets +1 to the attack from charging, does not hit . Regardless the monster is marked until the end of Ryan's next turn.

Shun nods silently as Ryan moves past to engage one of the foul creatures, and then moves to engage with the other and protect his crewmates. Shun whips the anchor chain around, sending the business end towards the creature in front of him.

[sblock=ooc to party] Let's focus fire on the Otyugh on the right while Shun keeps the one on the left busy. It'll die quicker if we all attack the same creature, then, after "Righty" is dead, I can try to lure the other Otyugh toward us with my ranged at will that pulls 4 squares. [/sblock]

When Lilli's light suddenly appears above her, Vyrna instinctively finds the cover of shadow in an outcrop of rock. Vyrna's red glowing eyes pierce the darkness ahead of her, and she can see the black and white silhouette of the garbage creature appear in the junction to her left and she knows that her cover is blown. She hears her companions' shouts to her right and cringes at the sight of the creature's kin in that junction, displayed in color, in all of it's disgusting glory, thanks to the repositioning of Lilli's light.

Vyrna watches as the elf and the gnome reposition themselves in the alcove and waggle their fingers ineffectively at the trash monster before them. Then, when Ryan charges into the fray with the beast and distracts it, she knew it was time to move quickly, or wait. She didn't like to wait.

Circling to the right, she paused until Ryan's swinging blade had the creature's full attention, and then, when the moment was just right, she exploded into motion and rushed beside the warrior. Feeling the weight of iron on her right hand beckoning her, she instinctively swung a closed fist at the trash monster, aiming for it's right front knee, hoping to make it stumble and fall beneath its own horrid weight.

The shock of being attacked by such horrid and pestilent foes is too much for the party, which is unable to harm the misshapen blobs of flesh and tentacles – except Shun who slashes his foe with the barbed chain. They just grab their next meals and drag them to their mouths

" Ryan jump to the left! " the animated head yells to help his friend. Trusting his comrades decision, Ryan quickly jumps to his left to dodge the tendrils, but instead gets slammed by them and grappled by the Otyugh.

" arghh... you said to the left " the warrior says writhing in pain. " ...It was to your other left dump-ass! " and the warrior desperately tries to get out of the monsters grasp. " MY Other Left !!! I have only one left ! "

The dull green crystal at the end of Eva's staff momentarily flares with light as the mage focuses a spell into it. The closest otyugh suddenly thrashes back and forth, trying to dodge blows by attackers visible only to it. Ryan, too, goes along for the ride as the tentacle carrying him shakes him violently.

Eva lets her staff drop a little and she worriedly raises a hand toward Ryan. "Oh dear. Can you, uh, hop down from there?"

[sblock=Eva actions / stats]Standard: Phantasmal Assault vs Otyugh 1 might hit Will 15. If it does, Otyugh 1 takes 9 psychic damage, grants CA, and cannot take OAs TENT Eva (until the end of Eva's next turn).(1d20+6=15;1d8+5=9)

Move: If that attack hit, Eva moves to X7 (right past the Otyugh since it can't take OAs). Otherwise, she'll stay put.

Shun strains his body to loose himself from the clutches of the Otyugh and whips the anchor chain around to swing the sharpened flukes into his attacker.

Don' worry about me. Take out that other while I pin this one down.
