BrOp's Age of Worms Adventure Path: The Whispering Cairn (IC)

[Bront]

"Well, I'm out of tricks, at least that wasn't one of you guys. If you have oil, throw it on them while they're already burning."

Zan takes a step back, looking for something with fire to attack them with.

The beetles, sensing the creature in front of it surge forward, completely enveloping the celestial bug. The bug quickly vainly snaps at its attackers, but can’t kill enough to make a serious dent in the assault. The beetles quickly cover every inch of the summoned creature’s body. The celestial beetle lets out a high-pitched shriek as it begins to be dissolved by the swarm’s acidic residue. (OOC: AoO useless against swarm; Swarm attacks 1d6 + 1d4 acid = 4 + 2 = 6, brings celestial giant fire beetle to -2 hp.)

OOC: Not that it matters much, but he does have acid resistance 5. He's still quite at 0 HP, but he was a good distraction if nothing else.

OOC: Good catch! I adjusted the post accordingly. This is why it's always good to post and label the modifiers, you catch a lot more.

OOC: Yeah! so now he's just a stagered ineffective beetle

Mulch - Cleric

Mulch watches in disgust as his flask gets wasted against the far wall. "What a terrible time for my luck to fail."

He then takes a five foot step back, while going into his bag for his flask of alchemist's frost, which he retrieves and readies to throw. "Let's hope I don't miss again."

OOC: Not that it probably matters either way, but i believe that the -3 for range should have applied to Kerwyn's throw, not to mine, as it seems I'm closer, but maybe I'm reading the map wrong.

OOC: It's a little confusing, but my calculations are correct. You have to read the next-to-latest map to calculate the distance between Mulch and the swarm at the time you attacked, as the swarm moved after you threw the alchemist's fire.

One other question: are you planning on throwing the flask this round? From your post it's a little unclear. You can retrieve the flask (move action) and throw it (standard) in the same turn.

Rial´s plans havén´t changed: descend "behind" de swarm, pick up the torch and attack with it.

OOC: Just as an FYI, judging from the ease with which the beetles scurried over the ruins of the end of the corridor they have a "climb" speed.

Having watched some of the others fail using their normal weapons, Kerwyn reaches around for his pack and digs out his torch, lighting it. "No we can't flip the lid Fixit, I'm on here!"

Let´s hope it doesn´t like the smell of warlocks, then.

Yep, i'm planning to throw it this round if i can. sorry for the confusion.
