(5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

Darius follows the others glancing towards the dark mass of stirges. He is no more than a shadow as he move past the creatures and move towards the slime and algae covered slope further into the caverns. In his haste to be away fro the creatures Darius misses the wet slime covered rocks. He steps and his foot slips and he begins to slide towards the churning rapids of the underground river. There is a brief look of shock on his face before the air warps and he suddenly standing on solid footing. He continues more deliberate in his footing.

Team Fusion

Copper made his way to the middle of the pack, deftly passing a few of his slower-moving allies. Stryke stayed not far behind him. The Drow had only a passing familiarity with the Goliath, but it was better than the relationship that he had with most of the others, where he had exchanged only a few words at most.

Over the roar of the falls, the sound of the Stirge-nest went unheard, but its buzzing could be imagined, even almost felt, by all. The sound of their own travel was similarly masked, so the greatest threat to attracting the attention of the blood-suckers was their lights. Some of the group did not need light to see, but they all needed it to see well - textures like the patches of algae were difficult to make out through darkvision alone.

They kept their light sources masked, covered in cloaks, or in the case of the glowing sword - partly sheathed. But they held them as close to the ground as they could, moving slowly along the ledge and around the point above the falls.

Loklafd stumbled on his peg-leg, but Lorent caught his arm and prevented him from falling. A lone Stirge flew near, as if investigating the commotion, but Lorent chirped a strange sound and it flew away, confused.

At one moment, it seemed as if Darius would fall, but a fortuitous shift kept him safe. It was possible that no-one else were even aware of how close he'd come.

OOC: Copper, Lorent, Darius, and the NPCs are safely through! Just @Tonguez Shade-9, @Hriston Terrin, @Lidgar Bjorn & Bill, & @Steve Gorak Aywin to go. I'm sure it will all be fine...

Merrick runs around the corner and then, with a mighty leap, closes the distance between himself and the Beast's henchman Siobhan, lashing out with his glaive twice and while she is able to dodge the first attack, the blade GRAZING her cheek, the weapon spins around with the butt hitting the warrior squarely in the face.

1. Move 10 feet to BC21
Use 10 feet to jump 30 feet to BI26

2. Attack twice with advantage: 2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [5, 3]+5 = 10 miss (3 auto damage)
2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [4, 20]+5 = 25 Critical hit


Damage:
crit damage: bludgeoning then radiant: 2D4+5+2D6 = [1, 1]+5+[2, 2] = 11

(ugh...terrible damage for a crit) Total damage: 14

3.
Move back 10 feet to BG24
 


TEAM FUSION - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - Don't disturb the hornets nest!

Shade-9 moved with deliberate precision along the north-eastern shoreline, each step placed with calculated care as he assessed the rock beneath his feet, slick with a thin sheen of clinging algae. Behind and ahead, the team stretched out in a careful line, each member picking their way forward while keeping one wary eye on the looming darkness of the stirge nest.

Shade-9 did not look at it. Its presence had already been mapped. Though he did wonder if the organic compounds in the fluid processes of his own synthetic body would be palatable to the tiny parasites. The warforged stalker would need to file that speculation away for future investigation.

[TACTICAL FORMATION] Staggered Single File - Stealth Protocols - Enhanced by Environmental Masking from Waterflow
[TERRAIN ANALYSIS] Uneven, low friction surface with organic algae film. Downward slope to waterflow
[HAZARD RISK] High, Requires Mitigation of Falling and Tripping Hazard. Water indicates drowning hazard

[THREAT PROFILE:Stirge Nest] -Tier 1/8. Swarm aspect and persistent feeding behaviour.
[
Mission Protocol: Avoid or Destroy]
[Detection Risk] Moderate. Visual > Auditory
]

When the party's two familiar spirits sallied forth to investigate their respective trajectories, Shade-9 watched their flight and then picked his own way forward to where Saphirrion was sniffing at the shimmer veil, its hackles raised and whiskers twitching. The Warforged Stalker for his part, switched his optics to better detect the magical energies present both in the veil itself and in the space beyond..

OOC: Stealth: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19
oops forgot my expertise +2 in Stealth but 19 should be good anyway:)
Survival: 1D20+2+4 = [18]+2+4 = 24

If I can get there I will cast detect magic on the veil and area beyond the threshold
