[Adventrue] Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks II: The Mysterious Imlach Island

[RedBeardJim]

Gellan looks around wildly as the adult enemies disappear below the ground. "Damn it, I forgot about this -- they can come up again anywhere, everyone be alert!" He catches his breath and calms himself, extending his awareness in readiness for an attack.

Ooops my mistake again....

Everyone - Adult 2 did not burrow - that was a mistake on the map (OK so I do make that occasional mistake on the map, please forgive me.)

Tomalak - Messar's hit points are correct. You healed him for 5, taking him up to 15. Then at the start of his turn he took 5 poison damage, taking him back to 10 and then he failed his saving throw as well.

Banesfinger - Yes that was a mistake on my part, the attack was supposed to be against you - a miss anyway with a roll of 16 vs AC.

Neurotic - Yes both adults are cursed, a mistake on the status but correct on the map. Martelai is now in the correct position.

Velmont - You can keep your action if you want or parts of it (including the rolls) and change your move and standard if you like, in light of the fact that Adult 2 did not burrow away.

Here is a new map - everyone can now have their turns over if you'd like.

[sblock=Map]

[Neurotic]

Martelai blasts the adult remaining above the surface, his eldritch bolt unerringly weaving between his friends and striking the adult directly in chest.

"Leonard, come closer in case it attacks you. You're too isolated. Messar, pull back!"


[sblock=Actions]
Move: E2
Standard: Eldritch blast; damage; curse vs Adult 2 ref (1d20+6+6=23, 1d10+5=15, 1d6=6) - max damage! (extra +6 is from 3 deaths of cursed enemies (young 3 wasn't cursed so bonus should be +4, still hits)
[/sblock]

Leonard shifts toward Martelai and Messar and tenses to avoid potential bite from the adult bug.

OOC: ready deft strike to shift avoiding potential attack on himself and attack. Will attack whenever and wherever adult appears.

[SBLOCK=OOC]I keep my action as is. Anyway, the other Adult is out of reach while I am under the slowed effect.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Banesfinger]

In the cloud of dirt and mud, Thorn thought his foe had burrowed ( ). But after the creature's pincers lashed out at him, Thorn steps back and jabs at the insect.

Martelai blasts the adult Kruthik with an arcane blast just as Thorn tries to stab it with his spear. The blast hits true but causes the spear to miss its mark, yet it still scores a slight hit on the creatures foreleg. As the creature is distracted by its wounded leg Gellan drives his tan'gat into the back of the creatures skull, removing its head in the process.

Silence falls over the battlefield as you all anticipate the return of the other Kruthik. As the moments pass you realize that the other creature has fled and that this battle is indeed over.

Leonard clutches his dagger still, knuckles white and a definite look of fear upon his face. His gaze moves from the beheaded Kruthik near him over to the gory mess in the center of the clearing. He rushes over to the bloodsoaked ground, sifting through the bits of flesh and bone, obviously looking for something.

Messar simply slumps to the grass below him, slowly removing the bony spike the kruthik had embedded in his chest. He examines his wound and begins to dress it and prevent further bleeding and possible infection.

[sblock=Insight Check 15+]
It is clear that Leonard is scared and may think that the kruthiks latest meal was his uncle.

[sblock=Nature Check 15+]
The remains in the center of the clearing is that of a large swamp lizard, a crocodile perhaps butit is hard to tell.

[Velmont]

After a few instant Gloom starts to relax. "That's all? Zharne, is there a way to follow the one who escaped?"

[SBLOCK=OOC]Time for a short rest probably. If it is, Gloom will spend 2 HS to be full, unless Minarath want to spend some of his healing power on Gloom.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Ozymandias79]

"Well one could try to follow it down the hole but I wouldn't recommend it" the elf responds then he goes to study the animal carcass and also search for tracks

[sblock=Check]
Nature check=17
Insight check=22
Perception check=15

[Neurotic]

Martelai shrugs, carefuly goes to the adult corpse and then compares the rod he uses with blade-legs of the creature. He repeats the action with little ones and visibly relaxes as he sees they don't match.

"These are unpleasant, dangerous animals, but luckily that's all they are. Let's try to track back by their tracks on the surface. After we take a breather, of course."
