[AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

[Erekose13]

Round 2

Kelsis sprints off towards the trees, joined by Gren and Rinaldo. "The chase is on. Though I think what ever that creature was, it has quite the head start." Gren says keeping pace with Kelsis. The wolf totem worrior looks quite at ease now that he is moving so quickly, perhaps he truely looses himself in the hunt. Its still quite dark and the rain is still falling, but atleast it isn't so hard that you can't see where you are going. You still havent reached the elemental yet and take some precaution to travel around it.

Korwin launches another arrow while Kalythar is preparing his melee weapon. The arrow landed with a solid thunk imbedding itself in the earth of the elemental. [ooc:hit elemental, 7 dmg]

Lemm hauls in on the wagons, stopping once again and joins Master Mollen and the others in the defence of the wagons should it come to that. The horses pulling the wagons stand around, snorting at the effort to get the wagons up the hill as far as they have. The mud on the ground is giving them a real hard time, and if the rain continues tomorrow it might make things even more difficult.

Aadin is up.

 

[GladiusNP]

Aadin Lofgred, 3rd Level Human Runethane

Aadin prepares to meet the Elemental's advance, the inexorable approach of the creature hardening his resolve. He readies to attack the creature with his spear when it comes within range, setting his spear in case it charges.

"Come on then.... do your worst."

He barks out, his spear clenched in white knuckles.

(OOC - readying an action to attack if it comes within melee range, or tries to move past to the wagons)

(OOC - Edited to changed action)

 

[Erekose13]

OOC: will post the rest of the round tomorrow when I have more time. But just thought I would let you know its only been about 15-30minutes since the first battle, so Aadin can't use the same Runes again yet and Kalythar hasn't had the time to update his spell list.

OOC:

Round 2, Con't

Aadin readies his spear patient beside Kalythar as they plant themselves before the elemental's charge.

Kalythar draws his athame, drawing himself into the movements that he was taught. A pale light begins swirling around the head of his sword-axe, settling there, ready for the elemental.

The elemental charges forward. It ignores the two moving off to the side, intent on those directly infront of the wagons. It gets a little closer, but is still about 40 yards away. By now you can see it's rocky texture, black against the dark grey sky.

Aadin Lofgred, 3rd Level Human Runethane

Aadin stands next to Kalythar, his eyes focused narrowly on the elemental.

"Kalythar - if we can get the creature near a torch or open flame, I may be able to cause it some damage." He touches the rune on his check once more, still readied for the charge.

 

[DrSpunj]

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 3

"Alright, you listening to that, Korwin? Lemm?! One of you get a torch lit and be ready to throw at his big boulder feet when Aadin asks for it!"

Kalythar follows its progress as it lumbers towards them, never taking his eyes off the creature while speaking off to the side so those in the wagon can hear him. Ready to strike when it comes withing range, he tries to judge whether he overestimated the creature's speed. Did I cast my spell too damn soon? Everything I thought I knew from my training is just so different out here where it really matters!

Is the elemental moving fast enough that it will reach Kalythar before the Bash spell expires, assuming it keeps coming straight at us?

 

[Erekose13]

[ooc: dont worry about it this time, I'll chalk it up to my poor descriptions and have it last long enough for the first hit. I should have just used feet instead of yards, cause then you might have actually been able to see them that far away. At 80 yards its way too far away to see at night in the rain. Oh well, reality goes out the window for fun. As it is I am speeding him up to get him within range, cause he is supposed to have a 20' move, @ 40' thats only what 13 yards per round. Hehe oops.]

Round 3

Round 3 (and 4 and 5)

In the next 18 seconds (3 rounds) the elemental finally reaches the three arrayed in front of the caravan. It crashes into them but not before Kalythar and Aadin are able to send their weapons in under it's non-existent defences. Kalythar's swordaxe strikes to creature's rock hard head sending bits of stone flying in all directions and Aadin's spear snakes in and cracks the elemental's left side. The energies holding it together fail spectacularily as Aadin's spear cracks it open. The crack that forms from the impact of his spear snakes quickly through the creature's entire body. Momentum carries many of the smaller pieces into the defenders. Soon though it has been reduced to a pile of rubble.[ooc: Kalythar critical hit elemental, 23dmg, Aadin hit elemental, 4dmg bringing it down.]

Kelsis and Gren reach the tree line where the elemental had emerged from. Even from their vantage point they cannot see any thing moving on the other side of the hill. Indeed there is a dense copse of trees down below the hill just as Lemm had said, it may have fled into there what ever it was. But in this light it might just have out run the two quick characters.

Kelsis the Bright-Eyed, female sibeccai akashic

*Kelsis sees the copse of trees, and takes off in that direction.*

"Gren, I think it may have hidden in there!" she calls, and pelts down toward the copse. She's going to find that shamen.

 

[Erekose13]

Kelsis and the others reach the trees.

Rinaldo sniffs the air.

Rhodin fires on the group missing.

You can all see it hiding behind a tree 50' away.
