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

[Antithetist]

Kasha nods confirmation. "Right!"

Opening her mouth might have been a mistake - the overwhelming stink of the ghoul catches her right in the back of the throat, almost making her choke, and throwing off her form once more as she attempts to sweep low at the foe's injured leg, resulting in a sluggish swipe that the ghoul easily dodges.

[sblock=OOC]Kasha charged to X5 last turn, so I think her position on the map is off. Doesn't make much difference, though - I can move before attacking this turn if necessary.

[TwoHeadsBarking]

When the ghoul begins to lash out with its claws, the glowing lines that run across Andras's body fade to black as a cloud of ash and soot engulfs the genasi. As the ghoul moves through it the creature's strength is drained away. Andras suffers some light scratches on his arm, but nothing serious.

He then steps back and fires another carefully aimed arrow, but the ghoul dodges beneath it. Before the first shot has even landed Andras releases a second arrow, this one going deep into the ghoul's skull. The creature flops over, hopefully dead for good. Andras turns his attention back to the rest of the group and shouts out, "Only one left! We're almost through this!"

[sblock=Actions]Immediate Reaction to taking damage: Firedeath! All damage dice for the triggering attack turn to ones. Only 8 damage taken.

With the battle nearly over, Dorn carefully backpedals away from the leader (Shift one square north). He then calls thunder forth once more, all the while moving away from the horrible stench. Sadly, the enemy seems unaffected by the attack (Storm Walk misses - before the attack Dorn shifts another square north as part of the power, ending in T3).

 

[Luinnar]

GM: Sorry I messed up Kasha's movement Antithetist. I will update when we get RAM TIGER's actions. I know it is Thanksgiving for some of us, so I know posting may be erratic the next couple days, which is fine. Happy Thanksgiving by the way!

 

[Sanzuo]

The ghoul leader takes a savage strike from Jax and turns its attention away from RAM TIGER for just a moment... big mistake. The gnoll jumps on its back, sinking in his claws and teeth and tearing away rotten hunks of flesh and viscera.

[Luinnar]

In a desperate attempt to take one of them down, Teresa lashes out at RAM TIGER with a claw. This time she hits, slicing a big gaping hole in his side. She then cranes her neck, and chops down on RAM TIGER's arm with her teeth, drawing blood again.

			FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

​

RAM TIGER's injuries seem to be getting to him. He tries to drag the ghoul down again, but just loses his grip and wobbles unsteadily on his feet.

[Dekana]

Jax hops, skips, and jumps to the opposite side of the ghoul so he can get into a flanking position with Kasha (RAM TIGER is somewhat too distracted for that job). He stabs one last, decisive time and into the center of the ghoul's chest.

[Luinnar]

Jax stabs his dagger into Teresa's chest. Her body goes rigid and she falls to the ground with a bang. As the party catches their breath a sudden realization dawns upon them, how are they going to explain this to Fiora?!?

GM: Combat over, congratz! Everyone can take unlimited short rests, meaning you can take advantage of Andras's healing ability for spending surges. Please describe on what actions you going to take now. Are you going to explore the house? If so what are you looking for (loot? clues? both?). I won't make you go through all the rooms separately, but if you want to explore the house please make a perception check or an aid another perception check and say what you are looking for. Also, Teresa's broach and/or body would be good identification to bring to Fiora.

 

[Dekana]

Jax allows himself a smile when the last ghoul falls, but he still looks jittery. He sits down in a corner and speaks while Andras further tends to his wounds.

"Mission accomplished, I guess. Not a very good end for Fiora, though. She might have paid more for a living daughter..." He licks gently at his wounds and then stands up once again.

"Anyway, let's have a look around. All that, er, meat had to come from somewhere. Maybe there are captives still alive? If they are lucky."

Jax walks around the house, cautiously opens doors, and listens for any strange noises. His priority is to make sure that nobody else is inside, but he also swipes any particularly valuable objects he can find - the owners of the house clearly don't need them anymore.

OOC: Healing: Surge + 6. Jax is at full health and down to 7/9 surges. Perception: 13
