pneumatik's WotBS 2 - The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar

[Thanee]

Lytha

Lytha, seeing the stag emerge from the lake, watches the burning beast, but does not act, yet.


OOC: Ready Action: Ice Ray on the stag, if it looks like it moves closer to attack anyone...

 

[Arkhandus]

Liiros Tivaniel

Liiros swims as quickly as he can towards the surface, angling away from the fiery stag to come up beside Shaylir and catch his breath. Then he tries to take a swing at the fiery stag that was the source of his current troubles with this blasted fire-forest.......

[sblock=ooc]So should we roll new initiatives, or keep the old ones?

Granted maneuvers are #2, #1, and #5, so Charging MInotaur, Crusader's Strike, and Stone Bones.
1d5=2, 1d5=1, 1d5=5, 1d5=1, 1d5=1

I don't think Liiros can swim fast enough to attack the fire-stag in the same round as he surfaces, but he will take a swipe at the fire-stag if he can, using the wooden longsword. If so, he gets a 17 to-hit for 7 damage, plus whatever attack or damage modifiers the wooden sword may have. Liiros will channel 2 HP worth of healing into Arshen again with Martial Spirit if he hits.
1d20+6=17, 1d8+2=7

EDIT: I forgot that Torrent cast Bull's Strength on Liiros.......so make that a 19 to-hit for 9 damage.

Seeing the Fire Stag erupt from the lake, Hollister takes a few steps back away from the shoreline. But instead of casting a spell, he merely readies himself, waiting for the creature to come closer.

[pneumatik]

Seeing the stag surface, Shaylir urges it to leave and begins paddling towards the shore.

Liiros, Torrent, and Arshen swim towards the surface.

On the shore, Lytha and Hollister eye the stag warily and ready to attack it.

Ignoring everyone in the lake, the stag swims towards the singing seela. A few additional seela have joined Tiljann and the three on the tower in singing the Song of Forms, but most of them just stare mutely at the flaming stag.

[sblock=lots of info here]There's no need to roll for new initiatives. The stag took an action, so now everyone can go.

Arshen, Liiros, and Torrent are 5 feet underwater and 95 feet from shore. Shaylir is 90 feet from shore. The stag is now 75 feet from shore.

Your swim your speed is 1/4 normal, so if you have a speed of 30 you can go 15 feet with a full round action. I'm not going to bother with swim checks, but you'll still move pretty slow. For folks on the bottom of the lake by where the stag was, it'll take a full round plus a move action to get to the surface.

Thanee, don't forget that energy ray is close range and the stag is currently 100 feet away. I'm assuming Thanee won't want to fire when she knows the power won't reach.

Liiros, you can't get an attack in on the Stag as it goes past you, nor can you get close enough to attack in a move action this round.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Hollister puts his hands to his mouth, and calls to the Fire Stag. "Ho, Indomitability...you have been freed from your prison. It is time for you to return to your home."

 

[pneumatik]

[sblock=Hollister]Hollister should roll a diplomacy check for his friendly suggestion to the stag.[/sblock]

 

[Thanee]

OOC: Yeah, that makes it kinda useless... but Lytha was readying on when it would attack her or her allies, which should be within her range (at least Hollister is for sure), so it did still make sense to do so; esp. since she doesn't really have a long range weapon, other than her crossbow, which probably won't be too effective.

 

[Arkhandus]

Liiros Tivaniel, Crusader of Corellon Larethian

Liiros keeps swimming, surfacing as soon as he can and then heading towards the group at the shore. After surfacing and taking a few breaths, the elf calls out "Hey! You're free now, Indomitability, so go away!"

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Haha, diplomacy from Hollister?

Although 13 is good enough for an aid another if somebody else is more diplomatically inclined.

 

[pneumatik]

The stag continues to swim towards the shore, showing no reaction to the shouting of various party members.

[sblock=Several rounds in here]Swimming is kinda boring. Swimming 30 feet (two rounds) in one week is really boring. So since the stag's just going to swim straight for the shore, let's get through all those rounds at once. The stag swims 25 feet in a round. It's 100 feet from shore, so in four rounds it will reach the shore. Everyone has those four rounds to act before anything of real interest happens. Please post what you're doing for those rounds, even if you're just standing around waiting for the stag to reach you. I'll assume Liiros spends the four rounds swimming towards the shore, but I don't know what anyone else is doing.

For reference, the stag's location at the end of each round:
Round 1: 75 feet from shore
Round 2: 50 feet from shore
Round 3: 25 feet from shore
Round 4: Just walking out of the water.[/sblock]
