Round 5, Making Good The Escape?
OOC: Initiative order: Jovik (
14), Kael (
13), Danth (13), Erylium (
8), Jokad (3), Mandraiv
Kael, Danth, and Jovik change their positions slightly to allow more targeting of the quasit, with Kael unfortunately unable to get near enough to make a touch attack. He holds back at the bast of the stairs to the dais.
Jovik, hearing and understanding his friend's order to bring the quasit down, leaps at her feet and tries to grapple her. She darts a few inches to one side, and then flies at him, upsetting his balance and pushing him onto the back foot. (OOC:
rather poor grapple miss).
Kael, knowing that he cannot get too close to the melee, slips out his sling, loads a stone, and spins it loose. It strikes the quasit, but bounces harmlessly off of her cloak (OOC:
missed by 1).
Danth, slipping into position at the back of the dais, smacks hard with his morningstar, and crack, it hits hard off the shoulder of the quasit, pulling a gurgling, hissing scream from her throat.
OOC: Erylium now at -5hp +1hp fast healing - 7hp = -11hp. She doesn't look too bad yet, to be honest.
And then she responds. Her venom turns to Danth now, the pain in her shoulder focusing her fury. She spits a cursed spell at him, the language to ancient to decipher, the command too short to prepare against. She darts forward then, her right hand glowing with the faintest cold light.
Danth can feel the draining energy that reaches out towards him, can taste the metallic evil that emanates from it. She moves too fast for him, though, and is inches from his face, her finger about to touch his forehead, and then a second of inspiration hits him. He kicks up hard, catching her elbow and forcing her right hand up, just as he in turn falls back. Erylium curses, her attack foiled (OOC:
she misses her touch attack)
Jokad moves to grapple the quasit, but her movement towards Danth has taken him away from his lunge (OOC: you all need 20 to hit her!). She turns at his misplaced lunge, and tries to swipe him with her claw in retaliation. She hits, drawing blood (
2hp damage , please roll a save versus DC14 fortitude or suffer 1d4 dex damage for 1 hour).
Mandraiv, unable to offer much in the way of assistance, starts shouting encouragement. It is strange to hear from the old man, but he is clearly caught up in the action.
OOC: end of round, lots of misses
Please post initiatives and actions for round 6. Please note that Erylium just missed with one of her better spells, so she may well try and flee again this coming round. She is at -11hp, but heals 1 hp per round. She doesn't look very badly damaged (less than half).
