City of the Spider Queen - The Adventure

[gabrion]

Chance Silently berates himself for not having picked up on the tell tale signs of the trap, but quickly moves on to deal with the issue at hand. Hearing Ionna's suggestion he decides that may be the best course of action. The lion's may be dealt with by force, but there is no need wasting arrows or spells when they could be handled more easily.

Just then Flar comes through the doorway, drawing his bow as he steps, and fires at one of the lion's. It now seems unlikely that they will be able to exit the room without confronting the lions, so he engages the lions as well. Just before firing Chance disapears for a moment, and as he reappears a barrage of arrows fly from his bow toward the same lion at which Flar was aiming.

Attacks: +18/+18/+13
Damage: 1d8+1d6+11/1d8+11/1d8+11

Chance activates his invisibility, granting him sudden strike for his first attack, and lets out a full attack with his bow, using rapid shot. I'm obviously posting this out of turn though, so things may change. Specifically, if the lion's move up before his turn, Chance will take a 5' step to the side before firing (to avoid AoOs). Also, it would be good to know where the lion's are right now (a map maybe?).[/sblock]

OOC 2:
[sblock]@ Ionna-As far as leaving the room and waiting them out, I think it is a fine idea, but you posted it after Flar had already acted. Since he won't be able to exit for a full round now, we might as well engage.[/sblock]

OOC 3:
[sblock]I must be rolling pretty crappy. I fail my search check and then roll a one on initiative! The dice are nto happy with me today.[/sblock]

Day 2 - The Crypts - Battle with the Lions, round 1.

Donedal quickly draws his axes as the lions appear, but decide to wait a few moments to see how his comrades reacts to the threat.

Ionna says,"I was expecting spiders. Oh well.", and throws a handfull of conjured glitter at the lions, covering them both in a glittery layer of dust. The lions does not seem to be affected by the dust in any way though.

Flar, positioned right outside the door, reacts on instinct and draws his bow and let loose an arrow at the beast. The arrow strikes true, and embeds itself in one of the Lions shoulders.

Seeing his comrades engaging the magical beasts, Donedal decide to get a piece of the action as well, moving through the door and enganging the now damaged lion in melee. His axe swings forcefully at the lion, but the beast is able to put up a paw as defence in the last moment. However, you managed to strike a vicious blow to the beasts paw.

Now the lions both explode into action, one attacking Donedal and the other attacking Chance. The first lion is obviously damaged from the axeblow, and is not able to score a single hit on the dwarf. Chance, however, is not as lucky

[Nephtys]

ooc: argh! They must have rolled well on their Will saves against blinding, DC 17...

Ionna curses in a dark, foul tongue (abyssal), and throws four bright missiles of force against the most damaged Lion, hoping to finish him off.

Kemble attempts to cautiously slip around behind the lions, drawing his short swords as he does so; if he can, he then attacks one of the lions.

OOC:
[sblock]Kemble will stop and attack from where he is if moving past the lions would cause him to eat an AoO. He's trying to (reasonably) safely get into a good flanking position.

[gabrion]

Chance winces slightly as the beast's claws rake his flesh, but he is relatively unhindered by the attacks. He steps back 5', momentarily becoming invisible, and fires three arrows at his attacker.

Day 2 - In the crypts, battle with lions, round 1 & 2

Kemlbe, noticing that he is unable to work around the lions decide to take a shot with the sling, and the bullet strikes true, hitting the already hurt lion in the forehead. The beast shake its head and growls.

Seeing the lions engaged in melee, Chance turns invisible, moves a few feet back, and aims for the poor damaged lion.
Three arrows flies in rapid succession, two of them hitting the mark, damaging the lion severly.

Cursing at the magical beasts, the young magess throws four magical missiles at them. When the last missile hits, the lion disapears in a puff of magical smoke, returning to the plane where it was brought from in the first place.

Seeing the path now open, Flar moves around the lion, aiming to get a shot at its back. Instinctively the lion attacks him as he moves past, but the young elf is too quick for it. Now positioned behind the magical beast, Flar jabs at it with his sword, piercing the lions flank.

The first lion is gone, and there is only one left. Donedal swings his mighty axe in two powerfull sweeps, but only one of them a hit. Although damaged, the lion is still able to dodge the second pass of the axe. You can see that the lion is starting to hurt though.

The now lonely lion snarls and turns to the dwarf. A flurry of claws and teeth, most of it happening to quick to notice, and the dwarf ends up with a slash on his shoulder, leaking blood.

[wgreen]

Kemble whoops in excitement as the first lion goes down, and then loads his sling and tries to get a clear shot at the remaining beast.

[sblock]
The lion is flanked by Donedal and Flar, unless I'm mistaken, so if Kemble's within 30 ft, he gets sneak attack! Yay.

Atk sling +12 (1d3+4+1d6)

[gabrion]

Glad to see one of the beasts has been dispatched, Chance turns his bow toward the other. This time he stays visible, but he still fires rapidly, sending three arrows toward the lion.

OOC:
[sblock]
Attacks: +19/+19/+14
Damage: 1d8+11 (All the same this time)
AC: 28

Not that it matters, but I forgot to take into account the +1 for Point Blank Shot last round. Just though I would let you know so my attacks would make sense this round.
