(Adventure) Immortality Awakens (Knight Otu Judging) Part II

[Jdvn1]

ooc: What kind of creature is it? Does K(Nature) +10 tell me anything useful?

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Knowledge Nature] It is a vicious giant desert tortoise, Gopherus Megalassizii. They are known to lash out at anything that crosses their path, despite being an herbivore that feasts mainly on cacti, mesquite shrubs, and desert grasses. Though they range anywhere up to 30 feet long and 12,000 pounds, their colouring allows them to hide easily in rocky terrain. When threatened, they burrow into the sand. They aren't very fast or dextrous, but they have a long reach, a nasty bite, and a devastating trample. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Jdvn1]

Anton moves closer, hoping to get a better shot on a part of its body not covered by shell. "Be careful, it can deal a lot of damage if it tries to trample us!"

ooc: Trying to move within 30' and shoot, though not in front of Sashal

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Well, you rolled about 10 on Kn: Nature, but sadly that's a rolled 2 on the attack )

*Moving to ensure a point-blank shot while staying far away from the targeted seer, Anton fires a terrible shot that misses the tortoise completely, which is actually not easy to do considering its size.*

(OOC: Okay, it rolled a 4 on its check to Overrun Scun. That's actually beatable, but he failed by 1 on the first roll. I'll use his Luck domain and...ooo, fails again and is trampled. Thankfully, Thurgan stops it with a rolled 18. Yay Thurgan)

*As the tortoise begins to trample and overrun, it provokes attacks from those around it, and though Scun misses with his spear, Rillian and Thurgan both score decisive hits. Scun is crushed terribly beneath the tortoise's massive claws, an attack that would have knocked him straight into blackness if not for his mighty Rage. Thankfully somehow Thurgan manages to block the massive 6 ton tortoise's advance, and he capitalises on this momentary advantage with another successful strike.*

(OOC: Scun takes 35!

T takes 8, 11, and 10 Damage, total 118
Rillian again)

 

[Brain]

ooc: how is Scun trampled if Thurgan stopped it from moving?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Thurgan stopped it from moving another square)

 

[RillianPA]

Rillian will move 5ft to the side towards a flanking position, and then will attack again.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Sure--I should also mention, since I forgot to do so, that as-per Overrun, Scun is prone too. With luck on your side, the damn turtle will bite the dust this round though)

*Rillian moves towards a flanking position, and nearly out of the way in case of another overrun. However, his attack is poorly-executed, and he can't get through the tortoise's shell.*

(OOC: Well, never mind

Cade's turn--I think we do not have a ride-by-attack pending from him like we did every other round)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Alright, Cade's going to do a Ride-By)

*Cade tries to stab at the tortoise with a ride-by-attack, but he barely fails to penetrate the thick shell.*

*Sashal exerts herself with the same attack again, but this time, the tortoise shrugs it off as if it was nothing.*

(OOC: Scun and Anton can go)

 

[Bront]

(OOC: Alright, Cade's going to do a Ride-By)

Untill it's deemed an unwise tactic (he's needed to stand in the way), it's a sound straturgy
