Academy of Drell, Part 6

Calim · Jun 11, 2003

(To Hit: 11 + 8 = ac 19, Damage: 5 = 5 (+ Sneak Attack 10, if applicable)

Paendaerig releases and takes a quick look around to assess the situation.

Zhure · Jun 11, 2003

Rallyn, Sildarin (with Doyle) Paenderig, Keith, Lyrique and Mortimer, accompanied by Boromin, with Charlotte and Travellios in the cave

Initiatives:
Keith 23 (snuck past the bear)
Lyrique 17
Mortimer 17 (dropped due to readied attack
Dire Bear 17 [down 5 hit point]
Sildarin 15 (sneaks past)
Paenderig 15 (going to ready action)
Travellios 14 (trapped in the larder)
Charlote 4 (trapped in the larder)
Rallyn 1 (hesitating) <-- up next
Boromin 1 (waiting for instructions from Rallyn)

Paenderig looses an arrow at the beast, scoring it's hide.

Travellios and Charlotte are both within the larder, and can hear the sounds of combat a distance from outside the impromptu rock door covering the enclosure. Charlotte calls out loudly for Keith....

Keith leans close to the wall, and replies in kind, "Charlotte?! I am here... we are going to get you out..."

Keith will then look around quickly before realizing he is invisible, and simply move to the other side of the rock, and tap on the side again, to let them know he is still there, but looks around for the giant, or giants.

Lyrique screams in pain as the claws dig deep into him. He casts Expeditious retreat on himself (on the defencive) and backs away from the Dire Bear. (He can only move a half move with out getting an AOO. Once the spell is cast he will have a move base of 60' more than enough to outdistance the bear. Hopefuly it will follow him.)

Lyriques Hits: 7/24 left.

Rallyn looks about worriedly, seemingly unable to come to a plan of action. He seems oblivious to Boromin's confused look. Eventually he nods his head and opts for his original plan.

Oh cripes... Please work, please work, please work... $#@&! I forgot, it can't be stretched to work on more than !! Think quick...

Rallyn manifests Grease under just the bear. Reflex save (DC 15) or fall down.

The olfactory display of the sharp smell of the cold north wind around his target is almost lost in the wintery environment, but the ground beneath the bear begins to coat in a greasy shell of ectoplasmic ice.

Even casting defensively provokes an AoO when you move unless you do a trained only Tumble check. I just want to make sure you know that before you commit.

[OOC: Stay or go then He's dead with another strike and it gets 3 attacks per round. So cast and try to get out of there.]

Rallyn, Sildarin (with Doyle) Paenderig, Keith, Lyrique and Mortimer, accompanied by Boromin, with Charlotte and Travellios in the cave

Initiatives:
Keith 23 (at the boulder)
Mortimer 17 (moved up to give Argent time to rethink)
Lyrique 17 <- up next
Dire Bear 17 [down 7 hit points], in grease effect
Sildarin 15 (sneaks past)
Paenderig 15 (going to ready action)
Travellios 14 (trapped in the larder)
Charlote 4 (trapped in the larder)
Rallyn 1
Boromin 1

Rallyn manifests a greasy film under the huge bear. It's paws skitter about for a purchase for a brief moment then it latches on firmly. roll 13+9 = 22

Boromin, seeing Rallyn acting, rushes in, charging the beast, swinging his war axe over his head. Chopping down with all his might, Boromin manages to actually land a telling blow. Roll 12+2 charge + 1 BAB +2 Str = 17, for 1d10+3 = 7 points of damage

Keith hears Charlottes cries for help coming from behind an immense round boulder, wedged into the wall. No giants are in this immediate vicinity but everything about the passage is hewn to the scale of creatures ten feet tall. The boulder appears as if the boulder was pushed in with main strength - something a hillgiant could probably do easily - no mechanism is evident for it.

Mortimer dashes in and valiantly prods the bear with his rapier, eliciting a yowl of protest. 6 points of damage to the bear.

This thing is very dangerous. I hope this isn't the Drellian equivalent of the Kobyashi Maru

Dire bears don't have reach. You can just double move away and not provoke.

Dire bears have 10' reach. My druid uses that wild shape a lot so im very aware of it's abilities, given that your sayint the bear can't get to me Lyr will double move his butt out of there and get out his whip blade.
