The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

[Majin]

Managing to crawl past Ayden's prone form on the rope Drogo reaches the bottom and attacks the nearest vargouille with his spear. He manages to catch the creature as it flies past but just barely. (2 damage)

(Taking an action for Velmont) Sielwoodan looses two more arrows in rapid succession, this time running another vargouille through with one, and missing with the other. (7 damage) Calenthang slashes at the vargouille Drogo is engaged with, bringing the wounded creature down with ease. (8 damage) His followthrough slice however fails to connect with another. Dunstand strikes out with his rapier at the closest one, attempting to skewer it, but misses barely as water drips in his eyes.

Of the three remaining vargouilles two miss their attack, but one manages to sink its teeth into Dunstand as it passes him. (2 damage) The rogue feels dizzy for a moment afterwards but luckily the feeling passes and he continues searching for another opening to retaliate.

Initiative:

Drogo - 26
Sielwoodan - 19
Calenthang - 18
Broddy - 15 (Paralyzed)
Dunstand - 10
Teleri - 8 (Paralyzed)
Vargouilles (3) - 7
Ayden - 6 (Paralyzed)

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Sielwoodan is not very original in his strategy

Seeing he is doing good use of his arrows, he continue to shoots arrows as fast as he can. He will Attack the wounded first, then the one attacking paralyzed people, then the others.

Drogo

Drogo takes his spear in both hands. "Back, abominations! You have no place in nature! Begone!" He'll stand close to the prone Ayden. (+6 1d4 +1)

Broddy grips his crossbow tightly in his hands as he shivers in fear...

 

[kirinke]

Teleri is starting to get used to be unable to move, prone with terror, spells or whatever. Slowly, ever so slowly, she begins to get a grip on her emotions, bringing her newfound willpower to combat the fear.

With his companions still prone and Dunstand taking damage, Calenthang presses the attack on the vargouilles with more vigor.

 

[Verbatim]

While the chaos raged around him, Ayden's mind was locked on the image of the screaming people who lay dieing at his feet. In his hands he held Finder's old violin, the violing he currently carried as his own, and as he drew the bow across it's strings, he saw the people at his feet convulse with pain once more and noticed that his hands were now covered in blood as well.

Trying to force his hands to cease their deadly melody, Ayden screamed out again and again in frustration as his body ignored his mental cries.

~Why is this happening to me...why...WHY!!!!!~

OOC:
Would Teleri know about these narsty buggers? She has a +1 planes knowledge and a +2 knowledge religeon check. And how much would she know about them? (I'm going to base my next post on it. )

 

[Majin]

OoC: Would not think she would. Vargouilles are not a very common monster to come across, modules or otherwise, at least in my reading anyway...

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand lets out a painful exclamation as the bat-like creature sinks his teeth into the rogues shoulder. Hoping that the bat didn’t have a venomous bite, the Westgater fights on.
