Adventure: Lord Byron's Lost Silver (DM: Tenchuu, Judge: H.M.Gimlord)

[renau1g]

Kane is nearly overwhelmed by the stench and can't find a way to clear his senses. The powerful bugbear flails again, but slams his axe into the coffin next to the zombie.

[sblock=ooc]
*Tenchuu - Kane should be down 5 hp, from missing with Whirling Frenzy if you miss all targets he takes 1d6 damage (which I rolled a 5)

I can go for Hergunna tomorrow if you'd like, ryry should be back by now, hopefully he can update himself.

Standard: Whirling Rend on Corpse at H18 - vs ac; dmg (1d20+7=13, 1d12+8=19) miss... dammit...

[ryryguy]

[sblock=ooc]Ugh, this is a really bad encounter for us, huh... we have nothing to hit their vulnerabilities. I also just realized that my new daily power does poison damage and all the zombies are immune. I'm thinking to use it anyhow, if only for the immobilization or slow, it would be nice to keep those guys around the corner off us for another round, and it can still damage the priest.

But first there's that one with one hit point left right? Kane is still in the middle of them so I won't chill wind...[/sblock]
Hergunna growls her approval as the drow's crossbow bolt slams into the wounded zombie, but then shakes her head as it remains standing. "Come on..." she mutters, then flicks a thorn whip in its direction, trying to arc it around Kane. Flicking her wrist, she manages to bring the difficult shot home. The vine tightens around the corpse's throat, snapping Charina's embedded bolt and then slicing fully through its rotten neck, popping the head clean off to bounce on the ground.

"Ha!" the druid calls in triumph, and looks over towards Charina with a sardonic grin plastered on her face. But the drow is gone, vanished into the shadows. Hergunna continues to stare at the spot, her gaze intent. She can barely make out something tiny on the floor, looking back at her with glittering eyes...

Ever since the rogue had joined the group, she had found her thoughts and attention often drifting to Charina. At first, she thought she was merely having trouble trusting the dark elf, having heard stories in Surtyr of the cruelty and savagery of that race, and inwardly she chided herself for being a close-minded old woman. But after a while, Hergunna began to realize it was something else. There was something about the drow that seemed to be calling to her. Something very subtle, barely perceptible, but definitely something that seemed to have caught hold of her spirit and slowly pulled at her with a gossamer touch... reeling her in... She was pretty sure that Charina was not aware of anything. It was not something the drow was doing. It was something she was...

A moment passes. The tiny shape on the floor scuttles away. Hergunna shakes her head then moves along the wall to get a view of the priest and his creatures advancing from the northern chamber. She sees them around the corner and considers what to do, then...

She freezes in place. Suddenly she is aware of other creatures in the catacombs. Dozens of them, hiding in the corners, standing on the walls and ceilings, peeking out from under the lids of coffins, crouching patiently in their webs. She can see through their eyes - hundreds of eyes, splitting the room into into a quilt of mirror shard images, showing the zombies, her friends, and the foul priest from all angles. She focuses on the priest. The priest that would be her prey...

The druid falls forward, her form shifting. Her arms hit the floor not as paws but as chitinous pedipalps. Her round human body grows rounder at the ends and pinches in the center, forming two segmented globes. Two additional pairs of legs sprout between what were human limbs, touching gently on the floor with a whisper of sound. Fangs protrude from a suddenly hairy head. Two pairs unblinking eyes lock on the zombies and the priest behind them, while two other pairs on either side regard Kruk to the left and the others to the right.

In a flash, Hergunna-spider rears up, the spinneret-studded underside of her abdomen angled towards the priest and his zombie guards. A large cloud of silk sprays out silently, the strands dripping with venom. It envelops the three figures, poisoning the priest and hardening as it drapes around them, holding them fast to the floor.

"Whoah, what happened?" Hergunna-spider hisses. She emits an eerie, bubbling laugh. "Whatever it is, it sure is... intense!"

[sblock=Actions]Standard: Thorn whip vs. 1 hp Corpse (1d20+8=25, 1d8+5=12)

[johnmeier1]

[sblock=OOC] Has everyone gone, it seems I lost my readied action unless I am reading the turn wrong. I will wait until Tenchuu updates to see how screwed I am. At least I have the boots.[/sblock]

 

[Tenchuu]

[sblock=OOC All]
Re: John, correct on the readied action. However, I think Kruk's move has saved you from possible death.

That said, those who still have an AP might want to consider using them now, if it makes sense. I'll post an update tomorrow (gotta work my second job tonight).
[/sblock]

 

[Tenchuu]

[sblock=IG] Duhhh, you only took one action because of the effects of Dazed. Sorry, I'm an idiot. So, free action for you last turn. Too bad it missed though.

So, to avoid any confusion caused by my confusion, Carolina is still dazed...[/sblock][sblock=R1]Give Ryry some exp for me. That was an awesome post![/sblock]
As the first zombie head rolled, as a result of Hergunna's leathal attack, the rotten corpse exploded, peppering Kane with bone shrapnel and putrid muck.

The evil priest laughed wickedly, "Ha Ha Ha! You will all be my sla-umhphg!" His words were cut off as the webbing entangled him. He cursed wildly, though his words mostly muffled, as he worked his way free of the webbing. Another of his bone soldiers did so as well, but the third victim remained trapped under the tacky netting.

The Corruption Corpse, the one creature which could see Charina, backed away from Kane, stepping off the coffin. Turning it's gaze to the Drow, it spat a chunk of dark bile which burned her skin and sapped her strength.

The corpse of despair next to Wil threw itself upon the bard, bashing it's decaying head against Wil's own. The creature lost a few teeth in the process, but the blow dazed Wil nonetheless; the attack also opened a fresh wound on his forehead, which poured blood.

The second despaired corpse tried the same attack, but on Kruk. The blow landed, but did very little damage, aside from disorienting the stout dwarf.

The wraithborn stepped forward and cleaved Kruk with incredible power, knocking the dwarf to his feet and nearly dislodging the shield from his hand.

The two chillborn zombies tried to slip through the wraithborn and the despair corpse, but the two groups of undead apparently did not like one another. After some territorial grunts were exchanged, the chillborn circled around, all but sealing the adventurers into the one chamber of the tomb.

"What are you doing!?" the priest barked, "Do not fight amongst yourselves! Kill the intruders!!!"

Could Hergunna spray the western group with Thorn Spray. Kane's going Whirlwind! -5 to defenses would be tha bomb! Kane's planning to move to G13, use his daily close burst 1 to hit 4 enemies. If Kruk could shift to I15 and tide of iron that enemy into G14 that would make it 5 enemies. [/sblock]

Sorry Renau1g Kruk is prone and dazed. The only thing he can do this round is get up. Go ahead and thorn strike anyway Hergunna. Kruk loves taking damage.

ooc: Delay action until after Hergunna and Kane go.
