CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

Two axe realizes that these creatures do the most damage after they're already attached. He thus focuses on the one stuck to his chest.

OOC: Honestly, I can't really see using a double bladed axe effectively on a creature stuck to one's chest. I think he might be better off grabbing it with one hand and trying to pull it off, throw it on the floor, and stomp on it. But if he can effectively use his axe, that would probably be better in game terms. Whatever you think.

Noting the pallor of Verdis face, and feeling his own weakness from the bloodsuckers' attack, Coraine strides forward and aims a stroke at one of the creatures attached to the warlock.
 

Combat, round 3

Having raised her blade once more, Dara aims for the second parasite now. She easily splits the beastie with her sharp blade, and breathes a sigh of relief to find herself free of the stirges' grasp.

Aware that he is in serious trouble, Verdis swings again and makes his way back down the wall before he falls. This time, he smushes one of the nasty critters beneath his morningstar, spraying the blood from its bloated body all over.

Ragnok aims a blow of his axe at the stirge attached to Verdis, but the warlock moves at the last instant and the dwarf's strike nearly takes off his head!

Two Axe grabs the last creature attached to him in his mailed gauntlet, and squeezes until the thing pops! Seeing the Marco in trouble, Two Axe hurls the body to the ground, and aims his axe at the creature attached to the healer. His attack is accurate, and frees Marco from the tiny thing's cluthches.

The last stirge attached to Verdis releases him and begins fluttering toward the ceiling, obviously sated on the warlock's blood. Verdis takes a quick swing at the thing, but his weapon passes just below the thing as it flies off.

The stirge that Otto pried off his body flutters about and manages to grasp hold of the halfing again.

Noting the pallor of Verdis face, and feeling his own weakness from the bloodsuckers' attack, Coraine is relieved to see most of the beasties dead. Striding forward, he aims a stroke of his axe at the critter attached to Otto, splitting the critter in twain.

With the last of the stirges seeking shelter in the nooks and crannies of the ceiling, you all begin to feel the effects of the latest battle as the adrenaline begins to wear off.

Marco idly wipes his barely used dagger clean on a pocket hankercheif and returns it to its sheath at his belt. He pokes one long finger at the hole in his chest left by the stirge's probiscus, trying to judge size and depth for his notes. He absentmindly tastes a drop of his own blood as he considers the dead stirges and his companions.

"Well, this isn't good. I'm afraid there's not much my magics can do to fix this. No, a few days in bed before we're all back to normal I think. The blood drain is particularly insidious, it leaves your body weakened and more suceptible to all kinds of nasty diseases, not to mention the reduced stamina. . . I wouldn't recommend the front lines of any battles any time soon."

He picks up the pieces of the stirge that Two Axe knocked off his chest for him, remembering to nod his thanks as he considers the beast. He takes mental notes of the creatures physiology as the others decide on a course of action.
 



Dara

“And you are pale enough to look the other half,” Dara says with a hint of concern in her voice. “Maybe we should break it for today. Nothing good can come out of going on like this.”
 

Ragnok nods at Dara's words. "I do not much like the idea o' resting here. Perhaps we should withdraw back t' Nulb?
