Adventure: Delivery of Death (DM: Luinnar, Judge: renau1g)

[Dekana]

Jax chuckles gleefully on seeing Kasha's perfectly aimed dagger throw. He then forces himself to look serious, steps aside the hostess ghoul to get a clear shot across the table, and then takes aim at the more injured of the lesser undead. Jax throws his dagger, aiming for the center of the head!

The dagger sails through the air, but it passes by inches away from its target! The magical blade then makes a 180 degree turn to return to the kobold's hands. Unfortunately for the ghoul, the back of his head is directly in the way of the dagger's returning flight path. A soft thunk is heard. The ghoul wavers, lurching about oddly, and then finally collapses face-first into his plate of rotting meat. The dagger vibrates strangely for a moment for ripping itself away from the ghoul and then flying back to Jax.

After catching the dagger, Jax steps deeper into the room - hoping to avoid the notice of the especially nauseating ghoul, most likely.

"Uhhh.... Tiger?" Kasha watches the gnoll go haring off with a certain amount of alarm, but more immediate matters demand her attention.

Stepping forward, she sweeps her sword in a downward arc to cleave the nearest ghoul in two - but goes wide, and buries the blade in the table instead. With a grunt of surprise, she yanks it out of the wood and into an uncontrolled backhanded slash which smashes the ghoul full in the face. Giving a giggle of pure malicious glee she hops backwards with the momentum of the swing, out of the ghoul's reach.

Dorn raises his hands quickly and splashes arcane fire before him - the ghoul is burned badly (Burning spray misses Teresa, hits ghoul for 15 fire damage). The fiery blast is amplified by psychic power as Dorn's mind screams, pushing the leader and the ghoul away from the party. (AP - Bedevilling Burst hits Teresa and ghoul for 11 psychic damage. Both ghoul and Teresa are pushed four squares south. Also ghoul took 24 total damage from dorn last round including furious assault damage - looks like only 21 got recorded.)

OOC: Oh hell- we posted at the same time. Hate when that happens. Probably would have skipped burning hands attack altogether if I had seen what just happened - if DM approves can we just ignore that attack altogether? I would have gone straight for the bedevilling burst since ghoul is near death and saved the AP

 

[Dekana]

OOC: Either way, that's 3 non-minion ghouls down before their first turn. We're off to a good start!

 

[Antithetist]

OOC: Yeesh, that's a real pain of a cross-post. I guess it might be acceptable for Dorn to do something different since he probably wouldn't have used an AoE attack after Kasha dropped the Ghoul? edit: But yeah, Dekana is right. Go team Kasha! (No, we can't discuss the name, I already had t-shirts printed.)

 

[Luinnar]

GM: @nerdytenor Yeah go ahead and retcon your post, or should I just ignore the burning spray part? Also, I edited the ghoul's HP, sorry about that. Great job so far everyone!

 

[nerdytenor]

OOC: sure just ignore burning spray

 

[Luinnar]

Kasha and Jax quick work to slay two of the ghouls. Meanwhile Dorn unleashes a blast of magic, slamming Teresa head first across the table.

Snarling she charges Jax, slashing at him with her claws. Two of her attacks strike true and Jax can feel poisonous secretions from them rush through his nervous system, rooting him to the spot and making it hard for him to move his limbs.

Cackling with glee the other ghoul near him makes a circle around the room, slicing Jax with his claw as he runs past. Meanwhile the female ghoul on the other side of the room tries to move but falls in the process and finally gets back up, snarling with rage.

GM: All the PCs are up!

Turns out he just needed a runway for his charge attack. RAM TIGER barrels past the others, leaps into the air, catches a toe on one of the chairs and eats a mouthful of floor right in front of the ghoulish hostess.
