Round 01 - Conclusion
Tsadok squeezes between his allies and takes a position behind the strange creature grasping Aodhán in it's rubbery arms. He attempts to bring the two of them to the floor but the Choker quick-steps to avoid the try.
Keeland fires off a shot, his expert marksmanship more than equal to the task of threading the arrow between his friends. The clothyard shaft sinks deeply into the torso of Houwlou's foe. The choker responds with
lashing tentacles, one of which
finds it's mark; Houwlou's cry of rage is
choked off as the reason for the thing's name becomes apparent. In a rare display of tactical savvy, the Choker drags its victim back a step, making room for the third to enter the fray.
Aodhán's grappler
begins to squeeze, slowly but surely
depriving the sturdy Abhác of the breath of life. Aodhán's voice is also cut off by the brutal choke hold.
The final choker steps up to enter the fight,
reaching for Tsadok with ropy, rubbery arms. The brawny rogue reels as he's
smacked soundly, and one of the tentacles
finds a grip.
[sblock=OOC]This wraps Round 01. I have actions for Aodhán and Harnry for Round 02, so I need Houwlou, Tsadok and Keeland to wrap the round.
The map might be a little confusing - I overlapped the tokens that are engaged in grapples so they're a little out of their squares. Keep in mind that each creature/PC occupies the square it's mostly inside for purposes of movement, terrain, etc.
Anyone grappled by a Choker is grabbed by the throat and cannot use spells or abilities that require Verbal components. (At present, I think this will just affect Aodhán mechanically, though verbal communication will be difficult as well for role play purposes).
I think I've got everything there, but if I've left anything out let me know![/sblock]
