[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 5272481, member: 64945"] [b]School round 3[/b] Kaeysari grunts and stands up from the pile of mud she was thrown into. Seeing another of these mud creatures menacing Jynxx, she yells [COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"Look out!"[/COLOR] and charges the viscous monstrosity. Her glaive carves a glop of mud out of the thing. "Don't worry," Papolstaanas says to the cow in what he hopes is a reassuring tone. "Just get ready to run, all right?" A couple of muddy leaves fly up and stick to the broodlings as he skips lightly over the mud to attack the newly appeared mud-monster. Unfortunately his hammer swing is so clumsy that he almost overbalances again. [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]ooc: nice move, too bad it was spoiled by the miss. :([/COLOR] Azryah stands up slowly. The attacks clearly weakened her, and she looks a bit wobbly. She eventually finds her footing, but all efforts to move seem thwarted. In desperation she casts a glare at the mud creature in front of her and light surrounds them both before being absorbed into the mud creature in a way quickly becoming familiar to her allies. The light seems to leave a thin shell around her, though. She says nothing, as she tries to free her feet from the deep, sucking, mud. Chaku breaks for the surface as the acid continues to boil across him, sliding beneath the cow as he does. The small insectoids snap and claw, but to no avail as the goliath's toughened hide repels the blows. Squirming over to the "mother", the barbarian spins like a top, crashing into the beast with a ferocious blow, shattering chitin and muscle alike. [COLOR=sienna]Hey guys, I might need some help over here...[/COLOR][COLOR=white] a small bit of hope shines down however, as the amount of mud he climbed through has removed most of the acid.[/COLOR] Jynxx twirls away from the mud flinging creature. [color=blue]"Chaku, do come! We are saving the cattle!"[/color] He sends an errant spell at the big snake thing, but it has no apparent effect. Kaeysari pulls her glaive out of the mud creature's body. [COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"Cattle? I thought I was saving you!"[/COLOR] she says. [COLOR=DarkGreen]"If you think the cattle are the most important things to save here, then we need to speak about your priorities,"[/COLOR] Azryah calls over her shoulder.

One gets stuck in the muck; frustrated, it lets out a high-pitched hiss and burrows down under the ground, disappearing. Papolstaanas can hear it digging through the ground just to his west. The other finds traction and builds speed to charge the kobold, slamming into him with a fair bit of force, but he squirms and turns the attack aside. The small, spinning mud creature turns its attention to Papolstaanas. Psuedopods of muck spin and send a flurry of gunk into his face.

The creature seems to still have control over the bits of mud that were just part of itself, and the warden feels them tug him a few steps to the south, back into the mud patch.

It takes a DC 10 Athletics check to climb or hurdle it. (There are gaps in it as well.) [b]Deep Mud[/b] The entire pasture is fairly muddy, but the brown areas are especially deep mud. When a character enters or starts his turn in an area of deep mud, he is slowed until the end of his turn, unless he succeeds at a DC 15 athletics check. (You only must make the check once per turn - if you succeed, you can move normally in the mud for the rest of the turn.) [b]Stream[/b] difficult terrain [b]Rocks/Boulders[/b] - difficult terrain, and provide cover. [b]Tunnel Entrance[/b] - The large snake creature leaves tunnels behind it when it burrows. Tunnel entrances are marked by craters on the map. (e.g., P10) Treat the crater as difficult terrain if you just want to enter the square but not the tunnel. Stunt attacks to create new entrances may be possible if you know where the tunnel is - or are inside and want to make an exit. [b]Tunnels[/b] Tunnels are indicated by reddish brown lines on the map. (Not all tunnels are shown, only those that a PC has entered or seen.) There is bright light in the entrance square, dim light in areas within 1 or 2 squares of an entrance, and darkness farther in. Medium creatures (and the snake thing of course) can enter these tunnels and move through them. Entering the tunnel at an entrance is automatic and no movement cost beyond entering the entrance square; leaving the tunnel and going back on the surface at an entrance requires a DC 10 Athletics check (this moves you from underground to the surface of the entrance square at a cost of 1 movement; failure ends the move action). (If it isn't obvious, there is no line of sight or effect between creatures that are underground and creatures on the surface, except at the entrance squares... creatures at the entrance squares have cover against each other if they are on opposite sides of the surface) [/sblock] [sblock=Enemies] [b]Huge snakey creature[/b] HP ??, bloodied ??
