Maddgoths Castle (Chapter 2)

Round 2 & 3
Asher and Melkof cast, and a swarm of bats covers the creature, Asher continues praying as both are dragged upward to dangle 10’ ft off the floor, just below the swarm.
Konrad pulls again, maintaining his place on the floor, but the creature doesn’t budge.
Theo pulls out his mace and begins to hover off the floor, a persistent tentacle still trying vainly to hold him. The Stalactite pulls Erik upward, biting him once as he is pulled close and then settling down to seriously chew on him. Wounded, Erik lays into the thing, as the bats bite at both of them. The creature looks wounded - but still has lots of fight left.

A disturbance of air can be seen behind the Creature, two pin pricks of green light look first to asher and then turn to focus on the Stalactite.

[Endovior]

Melkolf, noting the attempts to pull the thing down, discreetly moves out of the way... while maintaining concentration on his summoned bats. He knows that this one spell indicates victory... the bleeding caused by their attacks ensure such, if nothing else. All he needs to do now is keep out of the way.

 

[Evilhalfling]

Melkof - you and Asher are hanging 10' off the ground. I suppose you could swing back and forth.... or ready an action to do so...

 

[Endovior]

ooc: ah, hell. didn't catch that. in that case... he doesn't move.

 

[Voadam]

Konrad will shift tactics and try climbing up the tentacle to reach the beast instead.

 

[zevon]

Asher peers intently at the disturbance in the air, attempting to relax despite dangling dangerously high above the floor and spoke, "Help."

Asher instructs the elemental to attack the roper.

Round 3 & 4
The Elementals fists bounce harmlessly off the big creature but it causes a distraction.
The bats bite Erik and the creature indiscriminately. Konrad begins climbing and is pulled up as well, past Asher and Melkof and into the bat swarm. The Creature bites him as he closes the last few feet. He is off balance and his free hand is unable to connect. Theo comes flying up and slams his mace into the thing. Erick bashes it twice, and it rocks a little, biting him hard in return.

The whole party is either dangling below or clustered around the base of the stalactite, pounding away at the stony creature, but Erik is looking bad.

[Scotley]

Theobold Dwarven Cleric

Theobold draws back his mace for another blow, but seeing Erik's condition he checks the blow. He calls upon the power of Marthammor Duin in a strong voice praying for healing on his companion.

OOC: Trade out searing light for cure serious wounds healing 3d8+8. Concentration +13 assuming the bats make a check necessary.

 

[Voadam]

Konrad hooks his legs onto the beast and begins to pummel it mercilessly now that it is within his reach.

Flurry of blows.

 

[Endovior]

ooc: Zuh? The swarm's only big enough to cover the Roper's space... it shouldn't be attacking us unless we're in the same space as the Roper. That being said, if the bats are indeed attacking us, Melkolf ceases concentration. He will pull out some acid, and carefully apply it onto the tentacle holding him. If not, he containues mantaining concentration.
