[Adventure] The Lost Treasure of House Cannith (Judge: Evilbob)

Round 10

Kaelan, feeling the life flow back into him, but still feeling weak, quickly rolls away from the stinking ooze before it can absorb him again. He pulls out a shiruken and throws it at the thing. The small projectile strikes true, although the ooze quickly absorbs it.

The ooze then rolls to the side, sensing it's favored prey is out of reach, and bubbles over the druid and the warforged. When it comes to a stop, it lashes out at them, but some it's clear that you are wearing away at it and it doesn't manage to latch on to either of them.

Karananak, sensing his foe is weak, lashes out and deals the ooze a nasty blow, sending is sliding further away from you all.

[sblock=Terrain and other Environment Info]Trees & Rocks: Provide cover in the normal way. You can stand in the squares that have branches in them, but not the actual rocks or tree trunks, unless the rock is in only a tiny fraction of the square.

The Mist: Is a bit like a thick fog. Any creature more than 20 feet away is considered to have concealment unless you have blindsight.

There is no difficult terrain or anything. Just a road with a lot of low, dead grass around it. The map is attached. I apologize for my abysmal drawing skills. If you need clarification on what anything is, please ask.[/sblock]

[sblock=Monster Knowledge Check: Dungeoneering 15]These are all aberrant creatures. You recognize the tentacle covered humanoid as something called a dolgaunt. The small, 2-headed creatures appear to be dolgrim, and you've heard that warriors of their ilk lurk in The Mournlands. The large ooze is more of a mystery, but you think it may be what the stories refer to as living darkness. It is certainly large an black enough to have earned the name.
[sblock=Dungeoneering 20]You've heard that the dolgaunt can suck the life from a person with its long tentacles.
The dolgrim are simple creatures, from what you remember, but very strong. You also remember a story about each head seeming to act on its own.
Living darkness isn't something many people have encountered and lived to tell about. You suspect that, like most other ooze creatures you've encountered in your travels, it will attempt to absorb its prey.
[sblock=Dungeoneering 25]Living darkness is immune to gaze and poison effects, and it's jelly-like nature seems to make most attacks less effective than normal. It is known to be vulnerable to radiant damage.
The dolgrim, with their warring heads, are likely weak against psychic attacks.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock]

Thalin steps to the side, moving into a clearer patch of the mist, and calls out, Pond scum! He yells, and as he does, he slices the air, releasing a wave of energy toward the persistent foe, but perhaps the mist dispersed it enough, as the energy washes over the ooze with little visible effect.

[sblock=Mechanics]Move: Shift to I13 Standard: Vicious Mockery: 1d20+8=16 1d6+6=10 Just a bit outside! No more +3 THP on a hit.[/sblock]

Round 10:

Karananak's swarm form disperses once more to form farther away from the ooze. He holds out his feather adorned totem and ice crystals lance out into the side of the lumbering thing. The wilden then moves even further away, outside of the blob's attack range. "Dis ting be arda tuh be killin den uh case uh undead bawk rot trute."

Character Sheet
[/sblock][sblock=OOC]Does that cloud drift generate OAs at all?[sblock=Translation]This thing is harder to kill than an outbreak of undead bark rot truly.[/sblock][/sblock]

Kaelan simply throws another shuriken into the ooze, buying time in order to regain enough strength to finish the job up close.
"Keep it busy and we should be able to finish it soon enough" he grunts.
