Catastrophe!

[Son of Meepo]

Dina sits down against the wall of the cave, taking time to catch her breath. She offers the last of her infusions to anyone who needs it.

OOC: Dina already spent her Inspiring Word during the encounter, I still have my Curative Admixture (surge +3) if you want to use it. Dina spends 1 surge. 33/34 hp, 5/7 surges.

OOC: Sure, that sounds good. That will leave Corragan at 37/38 hp and 4/7 surges remaining (assuming that Corragan gives up a surge to recharge the Admixture)

OOC: I'll get an IC post in tonight or tomorrow morning. Got another double shift to work today. Ignatz will spend 2 surges to get to full, unless we take another pair of short rests and he can get a Word or an Admixture. He lacks 5 hp after 1 surge. If he spends 2 surges he'll have 6 remaining. If no one else has 7 surges or more, Ignatz will donate another surge to restore the Admixture Dina used on Corragan, so that the latter will still have 5 surges. That will leave Ignatz with 5 surges himself. (6 if we wait for Dina to recover her healing powers)

OOC: I'm not going to be available to post this weekend. I think we were close to level up. If we have enough to hit level 4 then I can use the time to update the character.

OOC: [MENTION=6684473]CrimsonFlameWielder[/MENTION] if we did hit level 4 after this fight, you'd better increase your encounter budget substantially. I'm picking up Surprising Charge next level.

Ignatz stretches, and pops his knuckles. "Dot vas a gut leedle scrap, hey?" He munches on a chunk of bug. "Mebbe next time dere vill be more ov dem. Ho, sveethot," he says, hunkering down next to Dina. "Hyu ready to get beck on hyu feet? Vhich vay dot ring say ve should go?"

OOC: It does depend a bit how many more encounters we will have to face before we can rest. We'll be fine for 1 more encounter definitely. But at the fourth we are going to be starting to face HSurge issues. A 5th would be very tense. A good thing to keep in mind before you go too crazy on encounter level

The Cursed One stands and walks towards the Sun rod illuminating the tunnel. He picks it up and jams it in his backpack. He calls to the group: "Are we ready?"

OOC: Well, resting really depends on you guys. I have one spot designated in my notes for resting, which is after two more encounters, but if you guys really need to, it would fit in with the story to have you guys rest after the next encounter... so it's up to you guys. Speaking of which, I'm working up the map right now, so it shouldn't be too much longer before we continue. In the meantime, you guys have a cavern to explore... so feel free to do some RP while you figure out which of the three paths you will take [to your doom]! *innocent smile*

OOC: We can handle two more encounters no problem. Before I post IC I'll need you to tell [MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION] what the ring has to say and I need him to post, in either order.

"Does the ring pull towards one of the tunnels? Or must we choose our path as blindly as the ants that live down here? If it is luck we trust in, I say we follow the barbarian's instinct and follow you path where he cast the light. It is as good as any, is it not?"

OOC: TCO is unlikely to explore a cavern that he assumes (perhaps wrongly) is little more than a chamber in an ant hive. Plus he really doesn't explore/investigate unless something catches his eye (which really has to be glaringly obvious.). Plus he is rubbish at exploring in general, so I'll leave that up to someone else

 

[Son of Meepo]

With several choices in front of the group, Dina tries to narrow down a direction...

She follows the pull of the ring.

Arcana (1d20+14=24)

OOC: Still waiting to hear about xp from the previous battle. If we are leveling up, Dina will be taking Battle Intuition for her level 4 feat, which will cause her initiative bonus to jump significantly.
