IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 2

[Friadoc]

With surprising speed, as well as agility, the young half-orc vaults himself over the dias with a hard, springy one-arm push, bringing himself to be behind the priest.

"Best get behind me, your honor," says Buurt with a gruff, yet concerned tone. "I've a feeling that this is gonna take more than loud words."

The sharp report of Buurt's crossbow echoes within the temple as a bolt is fired from the magical crossbow.

OOC

Buurt's initiative (1d20+4=21)

Buurt's attack on the chaos beast (1d20+8=18, 1d8+1=7)

Buurt's Tumble Check (1d20+10=22)

Buurt declares his dodge against Chariadoc (yeah, I said it), so his AC is 20 versus the transformed halfling - 22 if he moves more than 10'.

 

[Jemal]

"NO MORE HURTING FRIENDS!" Rokelsh shouts at the beast as his massive sword swings back and forth in mighty sweeps.

[sblock=ooc]
Power Attack for 2: Attacks 1;2. Damage 1;2. (1d20+12=13, 1d20+7=24, 2d6+14=20, 2d6+14=21) Doh, nat 1 on the first attack. Second is AC 24 for 21 damage.
Rokelsh: HP 49/49 (12 from rage); AC 16 (18-2 rage)

Uulark moves to the square immediately to the left of the torch on the right, spear in hand and ready for action. "What's the plan, Shai?"

Shai calls Dyspeer to his side and begins casting Summon Nature's Ally 2.

I rolled randomly to determine which side of the temple Buurt was on before he made his move. He came up on the left, which means he'll have to run through a threatened square to grab the priest. I paused the action here to give Friadoc a chance to amend Buurt's actions accordingly if he chooses. Once that's decided we'll continue on.

Caerwynhears the request for a battle plan and chimes here is an idea! He then starts by runn9ing in and jumps a few pews to get to his battle spot.

( I will make an action after all others seeing as i have such a poor inititive)

The sharp report of Buurt's crossbow echoes within the temple as a bolt is fired from the magical crossbow.

The bolt appears to land solidly into the chaos beast, but is quickly absorbed into it's amorphous flesh.

"NO MORE HURTING FRIENDS!" Rokelsh shouts at the beast as his massive sword swings back and forth in mighty sweeps.

Rokelsh swings his sword mightily... almost too mightily as he nearly hurls himself into the melted halfling. He quickly manages to correct his footing though, and turns the misguided step into a expertly placed blow deep into the chaos beast.

Seeing that Friadoc has turned, Rogash stifles a curse remembering where he is just in time. He moves into the temple and leaps over the back of a pew. Standing on a pew (middle of the back row on the left) he trades out his axe and shield for his bow and readies an arrow.

Talashia goes up to the chapel door, hanging back a little. It wasn't that she was frightened...she just didn't want to use another spell if she could avoid it. Even a storm could blow itself out if it wasn't careful.

Caerwynhears the request for a battle plan and chimes here is an idea! He then starts by running in and jumps a few pews to get to his battle spot.

Rogash, Talishia, and Caerwyn each choose a strategic spot suitable for their respective fighting styles, but it is all for naught, as the raised swords and arrows are pointed at a motionless mound of bubbling goo.

ooc: Have I mentioned how much I like this new multiquote thing?

((OOC: It's quite nifty, indeed. So, does this mean the other have effectively dispatched our good former monk? And just when I was debating the space-saving nature of summoning monkeys instead of wolves... ))

Rogash

The dwarf climbs down from the pew with a clatter of armor and weapons. He removes his helmet and looks at the bubbling goo that was once his friend and companion. Looking to his companions he says, "I believe we have some work to do. Somebody is going to pay for this."

"and pay dearly indeed..."

Caeryn looks to the bemused and mortified priest of pelor and clears his throat while reaching into his pac. he removes 25 gold crowns and hands them to the priest and says, " ahem, pardon us good friend, we were trying to get him to you for help to keep him from reaching this point, but we failed. i hope this wil help in the clean up of the mess. "

he then looks to the others and suggests, "we have a summoner to catch, right?"

 

[Shayuri]

"A moment, Caerwyn," Talashia says quickly. She looks at the priest.

"Did he...did it attack anyone? Even a scratch from these creatures can be disastrous!"

Uulark Simental, Cleric6, AC18,FF15,T13, HP30/30

OOC: Uulark is just very thankful that his intrepid friends took care of the situation before he became mired in it.

"Thanks be to the Gods of Light and Life. I was NOT looking forward to fighting that thing."
