A world in Darkness IC- Calling Wilphe and Nac Mac Feegle

[Wilphe]

Sychella draws her wand of cure light wounds off her belt and fires off a charge into herself. That does leave Gor by himself, but at the moment he is fresh and she is one hit from going down

Round 4

Racid breaks from the hold off the creature, pushing himself away, and running into the nearby forest, an intense fear gripping him - he has to get away from that face - those terrible eyes that burn!

Falgor tries to coax the creature down, but is unable to communicate with it. It looks at him calmly, and takes a dessicated apple out of its pouch - delicately taking a small bite, chewing contentedly.

Gor once again swings his axe, whirling it around his head, building up momentum as he chops into the creatures side (roll 14+8, dmg 19), causing the creature to be lifted off its feet, a massive gash opened up, its body flying into a nearby tree before slumping to the ground.

Sychella takes her wand and activates - her body is covered by a soft glow and she can feel many of her wounds knitting themselves closed (ooc 12 hp cured)

Round 4 summary

Gor is standing over the body of the creature as it bleeds into the ground. Sychell is behind Gor after having used her wand. Racid is in the forest 40' away having fled away from the creature, Falgor is up the tree trying to coax the creature there down to him.

Falgor the creature is small, around the size of a largish domestic cat (or vervet monkey if you are familiar with those)

I have posted the creatures stats in the ooc thread for comment. I think it was a CR3 and a few bad dice rolls counted against the party here.

Creature 26 dmg, 14 this round - unconscious.
Sychella 4 dmg 12 cured thos round
Racid 8 dmg, under a fear effect.

 

[Zerth]

"Finally a good hit," Gor grumbles as his axe cuts deep and the scary creature goes down.

The minotaur looks around to notice Racid running in the forest and Falgor nowhere in sight. "Where's everybody going? Battle is won." Then he turns to look at his wounded mistress, who is healing herself. "You all right? You got some nasty hits."

 

[Wilphe]

"I'll survive Gor. You check that it doesn't regenerate or something, if it looks like it is hit it again. I'll go calm the mule," she wades back across the stream and talks softly to the mule, strking it's flanks and getting ready to gently coak across the stream.

 

[Zerth]

"I'll do that," Gor tells Sychella and walks back to the bleeding creature. The minotaur doesn't bother to check the corpse much, but just hits it once again with his axe to make sure it is dead.

(OOC: Coup de grace on the creature. That's 3d12+21 damage, if it matters.)

 

[PugioilAudacio]

Smiling in sudden inspiration, Falgor reaches into his pouch and produces a nice fresh shiny red apple. Offering it to the creature, he attempts to coax it into his arms.

 

[Quirhid]

Racid finds himself sitting under a tree. He realizes that his companions are still probably fighting the creature. When he gathers his courage he starts to walk in the group's direction. He notices that he dropped his battlehammer when he fled. He picks it up and with a frustrated growl he hits a tree trunk with it. "Some dwarf I am. Fleeing out of battle. I'm a coward!" he gives the tree trunk another hit.

 

[Ghostknight]

Sychella moves over to the mule. Stroking and soothing it. Evidently the mule was completely panicked by this creature, its flanks heavy with sweat. It takes a few minutes to calm the mule but eventually it calms down enough for it to move on.

Gor smashes the creatures head, completely obliterating its features and leaving a pile of soft, gooey stuff where its head used to be!

Racid wanders back to the rest looking disgusted with himself.

Meanwhile Farlor is dealing with this strange creature which comes down, takes the apple and sits on a branch above his head calmly eating it, seemingly satisfied with his benign intentions. After a short while it finishes eating the apple, looks at Falgor and makes a series of clicks and strange noises, seemingly trying to communicate.

ooc: I am experimenting with MapX from Realmcreator for mapping but have hit a snag - anyone know how to convert their format to a standard jpeg/bmp/gif format? Otherwise anyone know of a different mapping program (forget Campaing Cartographer it is way too expensive for poor lil' ol me over here in South Africa)

 

[Zerth]

Satisfied with smashing the creture's head, Gor walks to the others wiping his axe clean of all the blood and goo. "Perhaps we should get moving now. Maybe other beasts heard our battle and come see what's going on."
