(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom II [IC]

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla wasted little time- almost immediately, she reached into her satchel and pulled out a sunrod. As soon as it lit up, she dropped it, so the humans would have light to fight effectively. A heartbeat later she was in the air, rising straight up above the encampment and scanning the eerie landscape...

OOC: Starting in J 10. Draw and activate sunrod, leaving it on the ground there. All remaining action is spent moving straight up with Fell Flight (30 foot move, so 15 feet straight up.

Pender wakes up, his leather armour feeling suddenly less than appropriate given the circumstances. He grabs his greatsword and prepares for whatever threat shows itself, staying close to Siobhan

Siobhan bolsters the party with a shield of faith, Larian with a haste spell, and Tyrla takes to the skies. Avril begins casting a call lightning.

Out of the forest of bone-white thorns, four small-sized goblinoid creatures leap out from their playground. The gaunt creatres are humanoid in shape, except for two long, writhing, pale tentacles that sprout from beneath its arms. Although its features are somewhat goblinoid in appearance, wicked talons cap its long, spindly fingers, and its wide maw opens to reveal many sharp teeth, including six 3-inch-long fangs. Its hairless, gray-skinned body is covered in oozing sores that weep a pale white fluid.

Like this guy, except shorter.

The four creatures come out from different directions, leaping into action with their tentacles.

All attackers except for the one in the South-East by Warren hit with the tentacle attacks. Warren would have been hit as well without his defensive stance.

Pender takes 3 points of damage, and the creature attempts to start a grapple but fails.

Mandla takes 4 points of damage, and also fights off the grapple.

Avril takes 7 points of damage, and also fights off the grapple.

Pender, Warren, Avril, and Siobhan are up.

Avril - Human Druid - AC 22 - hp 48/55 - Spot +15 - Listen +15
Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 29 - hp 41/45 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

Avril completes her spell, feeling the energy in the air and ready to throw down sparks of lightning at their stealthy assailants. She briefly looks at Mandla before commanding the dog to attack the enemy that had attempted to grapple it. She suspected that being grappled would not be something that they'd like to avoid, but she had no idea what these creatures were. Best to end this battle as quickly as possible. Mandla leapt at the assailant, biting at the creature and attempting to trip it.

Avril concentrates on the creature facing her, and pulls a bolt of lightning from the sky. The bolt strikes the creature, searing its skin and Avril hopes it hasn't avoided the worst of the blast. She pulls her shield in front of her, preparing for another attack.

[SBLOCK=OOC]OOC: Make a Knowledge (Nature) check to see if she can identify what these creatures are and if she knows anything about them. Knowledge (Nature): +10.

[SelcSilverhand]

Seeing that more of the creatures were pouring into the camp, Siobhan turns to Pender. "With Kord's might you will be a mighty engine of destruction." She touches him on the shoulder and calls out an entreaty to her deity to empower him. He immediately begins to grow in size until he towers over the rest of the group.

OOC: Casting Enlarge Person (domain) on Pender.

 

[renau1g]

Pender waits until his allies finish their spells, he smiles as he grows to gigantic proportions, the greatsword in his hands enlarging as well. The warrior swings his weapon with a battlecry and slams it down on the enemy in front of him.

[sblock=OOC]
Full Attack on first B @ G15:
atk 1 (-5 power attack); damage; atk 2; dmg (1d20 11=25, 3d6 21=35, 1d20 6=9, 3d6 21=30)

Hits AC 25 for 35 damage, misses for sure with the second.

Warren the halfling

Warren lowers his blade from its defensive position as he fends off the goblinoid beastie. Then he lunges forward while swinging the short sword around in a brief pattern, followed by quick strikes. "Guh!! Die, ya sick gobbo freak!" he snarls. Glancing back at the others after his strike, he says "Ya think they got some wicked parasites?"

[sblock=ooc]Taking a 5-foot step to reach the goblinoid.
Are these things Medium-sized like hobgoblins, or Small like goblins?

If Small, Warren attacks with Death Mark and changes stances to Assassin's Stance (though it doesn't help just yet). Short sword +14 melee for 1d4+6 piercing damage and 6d6+3 fire damage, 5-foot spread, Reflex DC 16 halves the fire damage.

If Medium, Warren wouldn't want to catch Larian in the larger blast, so he'd initiate Burning Blade and just make a full-attack. Short sword +14 melee and +14 melee, for 1d4+6 piercing damage and 1d6+6 fire damage each.

Haste and Shield of Faith factored in (SoF mostly overlaps his Ring).
AC 28 (T 23, F 19), HP 47/47, Fort +6, Ref +15, Will +10 (+2 vs fear), Grapple +1[/sblock]

Larian is the first to react, using his scorching ray spell against Avril's target. Both rays strike their targets dealing slightly reduced damage (2 and 5) for a total of 7.

Avril sends Mandla to attack the nearby foe, his bites hitting twice but failing to trip the creature. He deals 20 points of damage in all. Simultaneously, Avril calls down a bolt of lightning against the nearer target, but it avoids the brunt of the bolt taking only 7 points of damage. Avril does not recognize these creatures.

Siobhan's prayer enlarges Pender, who then makes a full attack against his target. Pender, with the enhanced speed and increased size, is able to attack and destroy his target in short order. (I believe you didn't factor in your haste attack, I rolled that for 18 damage.) Siobhan realizes that the creatures are undead, though more specifics are beyond her.

Leaping from the thorny bone-white jungle, a creature of bugbear proportions and a similarly disgusting appearance to the creatures already visible appears.

It leaps out with ferocity and speed to Pounce Larian, it's tentacles inflicting a horrible laceration on the wizard for 21 points of damage. This larger bonedrinker has no problem grappling the wizard. As Larian is quickly entangled, the horrible appendages try to force him to the ground.

Warren: Sorry, I asked for your action but that was before the other attacker joined the fight. If you want to keep that action, that's fine. The new creature (D) is medium, while the four creatures marked as B are small.

Warren and Tyrla act next.

 

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla continued to rise into the air (another move, so now 30 feet up). While she tried to remain alert for the approach of further foes, most of her attention was on the battle unfolding below. She hurled an arcane bolt at one of the smaller creatures...

OOC: Ranged touch +12 against the creature fighting Mandia (10 base, 1 Haste, 1 Point blank); for 5d6+1 damage. Are these creatures grappling at reach distance?
