The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

[Seonaid]

Chastity anchors the rope as the others cross. When it is her turn to be pulled over, she does her best to help, though her efforts are hindered by her attempt to keep her bow and quiver dry. Not that it matters in this damp!

She reaches the other side safely and spends several moments wringing out her soaked clothing and hair and shaking much like a dog or a pony would. Water droplets fly everywhere as the creature rises up before them. Torm's fist! What is this monstrosity?

At Andreas's display of power and excited exclamation, she throws him a quick grin. She then draws her greatsword and rushes in to attack the plant, Ayden's words slipping by her much like the water she had just shed. "Torm, strengthen us!" she cries as she engages the beast.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri manages to get into her armor and grip her weapons before the creature manifests. She fires her arrows, keeping well away from the waving limbs of the plant thing. Once she runs out of arrows or the thing gets too close, she will resort to her weapons.

"Try and lure it into the whirl-pool water! It's our only chance!" Teleri shouts to the others.

 

[Majin]

Drogo forms the ball of flame in his hand, making sure to keep it above the water. Calenthang moves towards the shambler and swings his sword at it's mossy form, slicing into it. (9 damage) Ayden calls upon his uncle and grants the party the affects of his bless spell, while Teleri takes aim and with care not to hit Calenthang, releases an arrow from her bow. Unfortunately it sails wide and into the murky depths behind the creature.

The shambling mound swings a large tendril in a sweeping arc towards Calenthang, connecting and nearly knocking him off his feet. (9 damage)
Sielwoodan fires his arrow, also taking care not to hit Calenthang. With a satisfying *thunk*, the arrow makes contact with the creature and buries itself deep in it's side. (7 damage) Andreas releases his volley of Magic Missles towards the creature, both homing in and releasing their energy on it with a burst. (6 damage)

Dunstand lets a dagger fly from his hand at the shambler, slicing the creature across an "arm", cutting off one of the many small tendrils that make up the whole of it. Chastity moves up to the abomination and slices at it's midsection, cutting out a sizeable chunk. (16 damage)

Drogo tosses the flame towards the mound. It burns into the creature but surprisingly to the druid, it does not flinch.

Initiative:

Drogo - 23 *Acted*
Calenthang - 19
Ayden - 19
Teleri - 18
Shambling Mound - 18
Sielwoodan - 17
Andreas - 9
Dunstand - 8
Chastity - 6

 

[Seonaid]

Heartened by her attack, Chastity swings again with gusto. "For Torm!" she shouts thunderously. She tries to keep the plant from attacking Calenthang again, moving toward him as she attacks.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

Drogo will continue hurling flame at the creature. He can do this a total of 3 times.

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang gasps and sucks up the crushing feeling in his ribs, determined not to fall in the face of danger.
He takes a step to the side and motions for Chastity to do likewise, preparing to flank the creature.
He attacks it again.

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity's eyes narrow at Calenthang's motions, but [assuming no one is dropped in the meanwhile] she moves to comply.

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand lets his second dagger fly, trying for a better aim than the first one.

Throw dagger, +5(1d4+2)(19-20/x2)

Not wanting to take his eye of the monster he opts to take out his Rapier instead of bending down to taking a third dagger from his leg.

ooc: nice one Chastity…

 

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan will move 5 feets in a direction to have a better view of the monster, reducing the chance to hit someone in the way. He will than shoot 2 arrows. (OOC: Rapid Shot)

 

[Jarval]

Andreas lets loose another volley of energy at the creature, then backs up another few steps. He looks nervously over his shoulder, aware of the unwatched passageway though to the whirlpool chamber behind him.
