A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [01]

posistions

OOC - Is there anything else in the octogonal room? Also, are you asking where in the room we would like to position ourselves as opposed to being in the what looks like hallway as we are now? I'd just as soon stay right where I am and see what happens.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC:

The description of the room is in post 949. The stirges are buzzing down to attack - I just didn't have a chance to put them on the map before I left for work. They are currently spread in an arc across the Chapter House, about 20 feet up and flying toward you.

You have initiative, so you can move, attack, etc.

Map is updated now . . .

Tsadok

Hold until they are in reach

 

[renau1g]

"Make them come to us!" Aodhán calls as he grips the axe tightly, ready for their assault.

Hold until they are in reach

OOC: You can go ahead and roll your attack, assuming Tsadok's attacking as soon as one comes in reach.

 

[mleibrock]

Tsadok

As the flying annoyances approach, Tsadok will swing at one near him, though their erratic flying pattern makes them difficult to hit.

to hit stirges (1d20+7=14)

(swing and a miss)

 

[Scott DeWar]

OOC: you have me at J3, right? well that is just as good a spot as any.

Harnrey rollows the path of one of the stirges and realizes the difficulty to hit the erratic flight pattern, so he chooses his old standby for his attack.

*cast spell before the menacing misquito arrives : magic missle*

1d4+1=2

though the missle's attack is weak, it hits none the less.

Ooc

invisible castle strikes again...good thing big mosquitoes don't come with bad luck.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The stirges wing in on the party, buzzing madly. Aodhán's mighty axe flashes out and the stirge approaching him explodes, covering the Abhác's face in a shower of blood. The second stirge neatly dodges his swipe as it homes in and tries to plant its proboscis into his flesh. A meaty fist slaps the creature aside and its quest for blood proves fruitless.

Keeland's arrow flies between the stirges homing in on him and clatters against the back wall of the Chapter House. He stumbles in surprise at the ferocity of the stirges' attacks, and though he tries to take advantage of the opening his next shot misses as well. The remaining stirges maneuver adroitly, and their attacks both find seams in the bard's leathers. The young elf sways as the giant bloodsuckers drain his precious bodily fluids.

Houwlou dodges through the fray and into the open area of the Chamber House. As he passes two of the stirges alter their flight paths to intercept him, adroitly dodging his efforts to slap them away. His follow up attacks miss as well. The stirges do not miss - both of their probosci find their way through both armor and fur and they immediately begin to feed. Harnry does sizzle one of the creatures with his Magic Missile, but doesn't damage it enough to dislodge it.

[sblock=Round Results]Stirge 01 is dead, Stirge 02 on the attack vs. Aodhán. Stirges 03 snd 04 are attached to Keeland, who takes 2 points of CON damage this round. Stirges 05 and 06 are attached to Houwlou, who likewise takes 2 points of CON damage.

I took the liberty of rolling Attacks of Opportunity for everyone who was attacked to move things along.[/sblock]
