Misery in Mordent

[Mithreander]

Blador watches in slow mation, as the hammer flies head over head.

This ussually happened in the middle of battle, everything slowing down. It marked an expert warrior, so he was told, but he had seen other warriors who exceeded his skill and upon talking to them had found that they had not experienced it. Sure Baldor had seen and experienced this fananima before, but not to this extreme. Each heart beat seemed to be minutes, even hours apart. His body could not move fast enough for his mind.

It was boggling.

 

[Snipehunt]

Sorry, folks - lots going on at home this week.

OK, everyone except for Sir Drevan feels a slight chill of fear shiver down their spine as they see the hideous apparation. Fear reaches into each nerve in Drevan's body. Running continuously through his mind is the sudden realization that this horrific creature is human after all, some awful combination of man and snake. He suffers from fear for the next 8 rounds - unless he's immune to fear effects (I can't remember and will check).

I'll update the map and see where everybody is, and run through the actions

OK, I'm giong to post a stat block tomorrow, and we'll start round 2. No one had a chance to attack this round except Aesa, who shot an arrow at the beast as the others closed in, but missed. Feel free to adjust your location, everyone has another 5' of movement or so. The monster doesn't have reach, so no worries there.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

He suffers from fear for the next 8 rounds - unless he's immune to fear effects (I can't remember and will check).

OOC: He is not immune to fear... I should have a +1 on the saving throw that I had missed. Knightly power, it mattered not at all if I remember right.

I noticed Aesa and Drevan have the sam AC and HP - I didn't double check, but something looks off to me. Could you check?

Those are Drevan’s. I used the same template and most have missed a step. I’ll fix Aesa's when I get home tonight.

For my actions: Aesa will take shots with her bow from were she is now. Drevan I believe gets to do nothing, as he is immobile with fear… correct?

 

[Snipehunt]

Good enough. Embarassed I didn't notice before. Drevan can take partial actions, with basically -2's.

Ivar is up!

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

"Raagh!" With an orcish war cry, Ivar rushes out from behind the inn, sword held high, running at the snake.

Attack: 22, assuming of course I get there.
Damage: 11, assuming once more that I hit.

 

[Snipehunt]

OoC - Ivar can charge, and make it. He gets sneak attack damage b/c he is on teh opposite side of the beast from Karthak. However, although your PC doesn't know exactly what is going on, the creature has displacement, and you have a 50% miss chance. 1-50=miss.
