[pfrpg] follow me into shadows

[SelcSilverhand]

Seeing the others cross the chasm Keepiru begins dashing up the stairs as quickly as he can, taking the blazing daylight emanating from his starknife with him.

There is info in the Paizo SRD for making oil into a thrown weapon. It's in the equipment section.

Oil: A pint of oil burns for 6 hours in a lantern or lamp. You can also use a flask of oil as a splash weapon. Use the rules for alchemist's fire (see Special Substances and Items on Table: Goods and Services), except that it takes a full-round action to prepare a flask with a fuse. Once it is thrown, there is a 50% chance of the flask igniting successfully.

You can pour a pint of oil on the ground to cover an area 5 feet square, provided that the surface is smooth. If lit, the oil burns for 2 rounds and deals 1d3 points of fire damage to each creature in the area.

Second and third jump checks. Sorry about that, it lost, then apparently found the first rolls.

[sblock=OOC]Can we have a progress update? Poor weakened Sindri has been running up that hallway for over a week now...[/sblock]

Initiative: the Creature(s?) goes last; I'll have everyone's responses in whatever order you answer, then I'll have the creature go.


Julis and Ragnor start to jump from pillar to pillar, leaping from post to post as far as they can. The going is tough without even a running start, but their muscles and agility make up for it in this deadly game of hopscotch.

Sir Angus begins to fiddle with things in his backpack, oil and fire and a torn piece of his blanket. He hunkers down near the exit, calling to the others to hurry and leave as fast as they can.

Sindri and Keepiru leave the area, taking their light sources with them. As they go, Julius and Ragnor are lit now only by the glowing of the Gem itself (unless someone else has a torch; Angus?). Those who have abandoned the room can reach the steps by the end of this round.

Kain and the archer-woman stay by the edge of the pit, Kain whispering words in prayer to a glow of energy around himself (prayers of enthusiasm about the coming battle), while his partner begins hastily firing arrows at the darkness in the back of the room. The arrows hit something other than the stone, but to little effects.

THE CREATURE, as it could be called, becomes a mass of darkness that seems to swallow the light around it. The other end of the room is completely dark now. A hideous chant is voiced by its millions of mouths, human-sounding voices all droning on together: "T'leh R'yod Aklzech! T'leh R'yod Aklzech!" The thrumming of millions of legs and the beating of millions of wings sends a rush of air forward through the room.

The beast moves forward across the webs, darkening the room as it goes. The webs have made it very much easier for them to traverse the room, and acts for the swarm the way a solid floor would work for a man. It surrounds the two jumpers almost immediately, many leaping upon their forms and digging with horrific efficiency to get under their skins ((13 damage each this round)).

NEXT ROUND!

 

[GlassEye]

Trying to catch as many of his companions as possible Sindri will cast haste. He's terrified of the light-eating swarm but he can't just let his friends get devoured. Maybe this will give them a chance to get out, he thinks. "Jack!" commands Sindri in a quivering tone. "Go back and help them get out." He gazes briefly as the shaggy creature starts to head back. "And try not to get eaten..." Sindri then turns away and continues to make his way out.

Jack returns some way down the corridor towards the last of the party to leave. "Get out!" he growls. "You cannot fight these things!"
[sblock=OOC]
Sindri:
Standard: Cast Haste. Targets: Sindri, Keepiru, as many of his other companions as are within range. Jack only if he can't get everyone else.
Move: Continue out of the complex

Jack:
Move: Go back a little down the hallway towards the last of the group
Standard: ?[/sblock]

Flying up the stairs out of the tunnel, Keepiru whirls about in the room they fought the skeletons in. He murmurs a quick prayer and passes his hands over his body. A white glow seems to surround him as the power of Desna protects him.
He says, "We must be ready to block the stairway once more when the others make it out! How do we put the plug back in place?"

Julius runs away from the black mass, grabbing a torch out of his backpack as he runs, lighting it, and using it to fend off the darkness.

 

[ghostcat]

Seeing how the creepy crawlies use the webs, freaks Angus out even more than he is already; if that's possible. However, he takes a couple of deep breaths and manages to get himself back under control. He decides to abandon his plan to create a fire bomb and instead douses the nearer parts of the web with the contents of one of his oil flasks. He then lights the cloth he has cut but waits for Julis and Ragnor to clear the web before dropping it on the oil and high tailing it up the stairs.

[sblock=OOC]Don't know how long this will take but if Julis and Ragnor clear the web before he's finish he just run after them.[/sblock]

Ragnor also attempts to fire the webs.
