[Living Pathfinder] Little Rock of Horrors

[Scott DeWar]

"I haf the latch open! if someone can push the door open, mebe through it we can go, Ja?"

He continues to concentrate on holding the latch down with his invisible hand, "I fear the door ist too heavy to push vith such minor spell."

Round Two

Ashleigh still seems wracked with indecision and Mariah caught up in the ecstatic touch of her goddess. Pari and Garnet wrestle with the animated vines to little effect and Heinrich seems to be the only one who finds success. The latch opens with a loud click.

The vines tangle round Pari's feet and arms but the nimble gnome easily evades the grasping vines.

Round Three beginning...

[sblock=OOC]FYI, Scott: maintaining concentration on a spell is a standard action...

Pari almost loses his footing as he tries to pull free of the vines and swing his massive scythe at the same time . . . he manages to extricate himself, but the others learn a few interesting Gnomish words and phrases as he once more misses. Tagaiwi, sensing his friends frustration, gives a roar of his own and wades in. His razor claws have plainly been blunted by walking the paved streets of the City of Glass. They dig into the vine but seem unable to harm it overmuch.

&%^$**@$! Minimum frakkin' damage? Three times in a row? Well, at least he hit twice, things are lookin' up! 4 points of damage, in case you missed it in the rant.[/sblock]

 

[Scott DeWar]

As he concentrates holding the latch he gets a moment of clerity. the latch is released with a loud *clack!* as he grabs his pendant and gets a faraway look in his eyes. the previous silver white glow returns but much stronger.

"Born of vater, ist counterd by fire .. .. .. .. OR, counters fire!"

He releases the pendant as the glow remains on his hand momentarily, then forms a dart sizrd and shape that shoots forth from his hand! "rakettidega" he says as the missle launches.

Casting magic missle from his arcane bond.

Glancing back to the lad he says, "Herr Giocco, quickly tink, vere you tryink to control an element, und if so, vhat element? Ist very important." He asks slowly and calmly so as to help the lad think on the answer.

[sblock=ooc-glasseye]
I was not thinking so much as the weight of the door, but rather the force needed to open it. If it freely swings, then a few ounces . . . blah blah blah and all that. Oh well. [/sblock]

Round Three

Pari continues his odd dance with the vine and Tagaiwi is doing noticeable damage to it evidenced by the shreds of leaves and bark surrounding the big cat.

Force flies from Heinrich's hand and strikes the vines with a burst of leaves. Vines seem to draw in towards the main trunk of the plant in preparation for an attack...

Round Three continuing...awaiting Ashleigh, Mariah, & Garnet.

[sblock=OOC]Finally some noticeable damage!
Scott, we could probably have a big discussion on that I'm sure! However, it's best to keep things simple. Open/close would have been ideal for what you wanted to do; Mage Hand...not so much.

Mariah takes aim with her bow shouting as she lets loose the arrow.

 

[GlassEye]

Round Three

With a woody 'THOCK' Mariah's arrow sinks deep into the woody trunk of the vine.

Giocco looks confused and is visibly deciphering the wizard's heavily accented Common before he answers. "Wha...? Wasn't summoning no elemental. I was trying to get a big bug."

Round Three continuing...awaiting Ashleigh & Garnet.

Scott, sorry, I got caught up in combat related aspects of my previous post and neglected to respond to Heinrich's questions.

Heinrich thinks out loud, "vines und kelp, tryik to gety a bug. sounds like nature ist not happy? Fey realm maybe?"

 

[mfloyd3]

Garnet grits her teeth, forcing herself to focus. This strange plant-thing has rattled her more than she would care to admit, and it is time to stop playing. She forces herself to remember the old tactic she was taught, body slamming the enemy while swinging her axe. Perhaps this plant could be crushed.

OOC: Axe and shield bash

 

[GlassEye]

Splinters of bark and shredded leaves litter the rock around the combatants and the plant recoils from Garnet's biting axe. Suddenly, its vines attack with a desperate flurry of leaves grasping at the dwarf's armor and lashing at her face but with little effect.

"You think this is the doings of fairies?" asks an incredulous Giocco from next to Heinrich and safely outside the reach of the vine.
