CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

“Get them!” Dara shouts, as she snakes through the space between Otto and Marcus, hops over the fallen ghoul, and runs around the two new opponents in a wide circle building momentum for her attack. She overcomes the horrid smell as she nears, and swings her falchion in a wide arc against the undead Coraine had attacked already. Her heavy blade narrowly misses the disgusting creature, and she slices only air instead of flesh.

"Gods! That smell," protests Verdis trying to hold his nose and call upon his magic at the same time. He aims another blast at the undead he wounded, and gets a much more solid hit this time around. The ghoul hisses as some of its dead flesh is destroyed by the blast.

Two Axe's muscles suddenly respond to his mental effort to move, and the half-orc growls as he rushes across the rubble-strewn floor. Although the foul smell of the creature nearly overcomes him, the warrior strikes with a mighty blow of his axe, tearing a gaping wound across the thing's chest. The stinking ghoul replies in kind, aiming a barrage of tooth and nail attacks at Two Axe. The creature hisses in frustration as it finds itself unable to penetrate the orc's armor.

Marco, thankful to see his half-orc companion leap into action once more, continues to stand away from the fray with his dagger in hand. Despite the fearsome opponents, none of his friends seem to be too badly wounded just yet...

The creature engaged with Coraine succeeds in a lucky strike with one of its filthy claws, scratching a ragged bloody wound across the paladin's throat. Once again, though, Coraine fights off the dangerous paralysis. Swallowing the nausea which threatened to unman him, Coraine returns to the fray. Death and destruction await the enemies of the Invincible, and Coraine strikes again with enough force to kill any ordinary foe...but these things are far from ordinary, and the thing remains on its feet.

Two axe knows, somehow, that these things will neither ask for, nor give quarter. The only route open is to fight, and win. He shifts his weight back and lashes out with both ends of his axe.

OOC: Double attack. Full attack. +7/+7 1d8+4/1d8+2 AC: 19
 

Changing tack, Coraine fights more cautiously, determined to deny his opponent any further chance to poison him or paralyze him as his friends were paralyzed. Still he takes his opportunity, swinging the gleaming, glittering axeblade at the ghoul's head.

[sblock=OOC]Fight defensively. What does that make his AC, 23?[/sblock]
 

Dara

Stepping into the midst of the creatures, ignorant of the danger they pose, Dara swings her mighty blade again with furious power against the one right before her.


OOC: Rage (2nd round); Power Attack 2; 5-ft. step to BM83; Attack SG2 (Atk +7(+8? Dark Knowledge) Dmg 2d4+10).
 

Verdis

Disturbed by the way these new foes are able to soak up damage, Verdis calls upon the power of his Eldritch Blast and directs it at the foe in front of him (1).
 

Stepping into the midst of the creatures, ignorant of the danger they pose, Dara swings her mighty blade again with furious power against the one right before her. The blade slices through flesh and bone, nearly cutting the creature in twain. It falls to the stones in a moldering pile of corruption as the unholy energies holding it together flee its body.

Disturbed by the way these new foes are able to soak up damage, Verdis calls upon the power of his Eldritch Blast and directs it at the foe in front of him. The blast scorches the creature and sends it tumbling to the floor, unmoving.

An eery stillness settles over the battle site as the last of your opponents falls, broken only by the labored sounds of your breathing.



Combat is over. 514 experience points each.

Two axe takes a deep breath. "What were those things?" he asks.

He's not badly injured, so he moves to Ragnok to see how the dwarf fares.
 


"Whew," Otto says, shaking his hands and arms to get the feeling back. "That's an experience I'd like to not have again."

He looks around the room. "So, what now?"
 

"Ghouls," Coraine replies.

"But what these stinking things are," - he kicks the pile of remains in front of him - "I have no idea."

"Well done, everybody! Now let's see if these things were guarding anything significant."

He moves alongside Verdis and begins to search the passage the ghouls came from.
