Aftermath of the Celestial War [4e] (Everyone)
"Ratheros, go!" Aridha shouts. As the tiger gathers itself and leaps at the retreating monster, she jumps down from the ledge and takes advantage of her companion's toothy, fangy distraction to move into position as well.
(Aridha uses Move action to jump down from ledge: Athletics check 23. Using Feral Diversion. Beast shifts 3 squares to 45,80 and attacks: to hit 42, for 16 damage. All rolls: Roll Lookup . After attack, Aridha shifts 3 squares to 55,80 as a free action. Oh, +7 damage for Hunter's Quarry...almost forgot.

Ratheros glances back, hestitating before dashing through the crackling wall, but will, if you confirm
[sblock]
Ratheros & you will take 10 dmg.
You both can shift into difficult terrain right? and its a DC 20 acrobatics to get off the cliff w/o falling damage. I think the Storm cage is 30' high so you would go through it as well.

(OOC - mew...forgot about the storm cage. Actually, since we're starting our turn adjacent to it, we take the damage anyway, and we dont' take more damage from going through it again...so we might as well. Darn mages and their darn spells. Both Rath and I can shift freely through difficult terrain, and my Acrobatics modifier is only 1 less than my Athletics, so you can use that roll for it if you want. Result would be 22.)

The Worm Turns
Tiger and elf take damage again as they move through the lightning storm to reach the worm. The tigers claws bite into the scarred and healed hide of the great beast.
The worm writhes looping over itself, ignoring the blows from Ardidha and her friend, and takes off down the tunnel at great speed. A bend in the tunnel obscures it from your sight.
[sblock] take 10 damage, stand, move 6, take 10 damage
Both OA’s miss: 1d20+23=31 (Adridha) ; 1d20+25=33 (Ratheros)
Action Point to run. The worm is 14 squares from Aridha and out of sight. [/sblock]

Morgrim, not knowing whether the worm had fled for good, or was merely biding it's time to come at them from another angle, moves closer to Aridha, giving himself energy from his ally's prescence. "Be ready, it might return!" He yells and the others, both familiar and newly arrived. Holding his hammers ready, he awaits the creatures return.
[sblock=Actions]Bolstering stride to move near Aridha. Gain 16 temp hp. Roll Lookup
Ready attack to twin strike worm if in melee or throw hammer throwing hammer if out of melee range. Normally I couldn't have either situation, but because I can draw and stow weapons as a free action, I believe it works out fine. If I get to twin strike, I'll use my bloodclaw craghammer to gain the extra damage, sacrificing 4 hp for an extra 8 damage. Don't forget hammer rhythm on a miss. Immediate reaction still goes to either cloak of displacement if a crit, otherwise unbreakable.[/sblock]

Aridha nods warily and backs up from the hole, bringing Ratheros to heel.
She brings a finger to her lips in the nigh-universal gesture for 'quiet,' then closes her eyes as she tries to listen for the monster's presence.

(2 rolls due to Pack Alertness; used the higher of both rolls)

For a long moment no one answers -
As the sound of the great worm slowly fade into the distance. It is indeed gone, and the Patriarch of Pelor with it.
The rush of adrenaline fades from your bodies, and even so short a battle leaves you feeling momentarily drained.
You all notice the distinctive heraldry of the two dragonborn. It marks them as two of the Vigilant - a holy order of powerful dragonborn sworn to Bahamut.
Kanriel Starlight
[sblock] Religion 32.
The Vigilant numbered only seven originally, and word reached you in the feywild that they were under siege, pursued by the forces of darkness.
Although no reason was given for the pursuit, you sense a powerful aura around the two of them.
[/sblock]
Aridha [sblock] Nature 23
It was a Purple worm, (ref MM 214) Its scars showed that it was an ancient beast that had survived more than one deadly encounter. The Patriarch is surely dead, but the worm will be digesting for several hours. [/sblock]
Montrim [sblock] Nature untrained 14+11+2 = 27
It might have been the "Waiting Dark" a story told to frighten young dwarves and gnomes, a purple worm of great viciousness. It is said to be second in size and power to the greatest Worm of the Deep. If it was the "Waiting Dark" it may follow for days before striking again. [/sblock]
You are close to the borders of the Drow city: The city is a single large cavern.
The Drow within are divided into feuding noble families, rival merchant houses, opposing warrior societies, and occasional rampaging demon. All that was when things were going smoothly. A strategy for crossing the city would be helpful.

Morgrim
Morgrim sheathes his hammers and crosses his arms over his chest. "We have lost one, but only one. It could have been worse. As to what creature it may be, my ancestors and those I dwell with tell stories of a great worm like this, called The Waiting Dark. It's patience it legendary, it may wait days to strike at us again."
The dwarf flexes his fists, the blood that had flowed there from his hammer had stopped, but his right fist was still crusted with dried blood. He addresses the pair of dragonborn. "I do not know why you came to us in our time of need, but I am thankful. We journey to the drow city nearby, to investigate the rumors that we have heard of Lloth. For where are you bound?"
