[LPF] Dwarven Crusade: Khuldun

Gerald007 · Oct 25, 2012

"Thank you, Borric. You saved Waltor's and my skin right there. Watch out...I'm taking my wasps to help Nathan," the beaten witch says with a fire in his eye. Being able to see clearly, he directs the swarm toward the hound. "We are coming, Nathan and Zelena. Hold them off for a second more."

OOC:

Move action-redirect the swarm to head at its full movement toward the shadow hound. Second move action is to follow behind it, keeping it between Syl and the enemies.

Edit: ignore the above. I forgot to roll my Will save and failed, lol.

((Will Save vs Hound's Fear 1d20+8=25 ))

The gnome feels the hound's howl o straight to her bones but easily shakes off any ill effects. She steps to the side and strikes out with her mace again, "Annaya's will, you will be put down beast!"

Sylvain flees into the warren of rooms the group has already explored with Waltor nipping at his ear in an attempt to get the witch to stop.

GM:

I'll do a full update after Nathan's save/action and Borric's other half a round.

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric, suddenly able to see once again, spits on the fallen derro, "Ptuey!" and comments, "Dumb arse. Should have know better that to tangle with us."

"Hang on, Nate! I am going to help smash that puppy."

Whirling around, the armored fighter clanks back the way he came. Seeing the flaming ball of magic behind his companions, he asks as he gets closer, "Did you already kill that last bugger behind the barricade?"

Nathan Tchanlach, human sorcerer

Nathan smirks confidently as the dog takes its lashing, but as it howls, his usual cockiness falls away, replaced by an illogical, overwhemling fear.

"I don't care! Don't give me this brave, noble hero shtick. Can't you hear that thing? Can't you... no. No, no, no, no..." Nathan continues his string of denial under his breath to the unseen motes, desperately looking for a path away from the beast's gaping maw.

[sblock=ooc]Nathan fails his Will save:

Will Save DC 16 (1d20+6=10)

I'm a bit confused about Nathan's actions here, though, for this reason: since the text of Panicked explicitly says the character attempts to flee "the source of its fear, as well as any other dangers it encounters," (emphasis mine), my assumption is that would include avoiding AoO under the 'other dangers' list?

Nathan's prone and in threat range from casting, so I don't believe there's a path for his actual retreat that wouldn't open him up to dangers. My assumption is that panick would stop Nathan from casting defensively, and since he knows he'd open himself up to danger by trying to stand (which he has to do to move) or cast, I'm inclined to treat him as cornered (full defense cowering).

If he can cast defensively, then he'll cast Vanish (Cast defensively DC 17 (1d20+12=18)), then stand. I know a creature with scent would know he's still in the square, but I think invisibility would stop anything that can't see invisible from telling if a creature was standing? In any event, I'm reasonably confident that Nathan would think invisibility would shield him from attack, which is close enough that the Panicked condition would have him standing if he can manage invisibility, anyway.[/sblock]

GM:

jkason, this is my understanding: Nathan 'must flee at top speed away from the source' of his fear. He can't take any other actions. He can use his spells to help him flee but that's it. I don't believe an AoO can be counted as an 'other danger'. I think an other danger would be if during his flight he were to come across another hostile creature. I don't think being in a position where you'll provoke AoO if you move qualifies you for being cornered. I know it sucks but imo his options are to crawl away or stand up and run off.

No worries. If you don't think the Vanish would qualify as a flee-aiding spell, then I say feel free to pick one of the two movement options (under the auspices that it's part of the 'random direction,' and also because I can't seem to find crawling rules this morning) and Nathan can reap what he's sown by letting himself be in the middle of the kill room without any other protection.

That'll teach him not to use that circle of protection when he has the chance.

GlassEye · Oct 29, 2012

With fear contorting his face Nathan scrambles back from the hound limbs wildly flailing and pushing himself away. While not fully protecting himself the hound lunges forward and snaps at the sorcerer tearing open a new wound on Nathan's leg. One he has gotten away from the immediate threat of the teeth Nathan leaps to his feet in preparation to continue his fearful flight.

Since Nathan is fleeing and Borric not yet arrived the hound wheels on the closest threat: Zelena. It bites at Zelena and slaps at her with its heavy mace-like tail but neither attack gets past her armor.

There is the sound of another bolt ricocheting from the floor near Nathan providing an obvious answer to Borric's question of whether or not the last derro was killed yet.

Running wide around the hound Nathan flees for the hallway that Sylvain previously disappeared down. Sylvain continues to flee, though once out of sight and hearing of the hound his fear begins to lessen a little. If he thinks of returning it threatens to overwhelm him again and so he continues to move away.

OOC:

Combat: Round Eight. Nathan & Sylvain continue to flee. Borric & Zelena are up.

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric has his avenue of attack all lined up and he moves forward with the head of the shock flail twirling above his head, over his right shoulder. The clanking plate armor does nothing to slow the fighter's movements and maneuvers to catch the nefarious dog from the opposite side from Zelena.

He brings the spiked ball down swooping in low to attempt hook the chain around the beast's leg and yank it off its feet.

The attack succeeds and Borric smashed the spiked head down on the hounds shoulder with a satisfying impact. He exclaims, "There, ya lil' sh*te. Feel good?"

"Lass, if you wanna deal with that last crossbowman, I think I can handle this puppy."

Zelena nods to Borric as she casts a concerned look to the way her companions have fled... but with one of the dastardly dwarves still sniping at them she makes for it...
