CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

[Rhun]

"Okay," says Deren as he sees the beast before him, "All this scouting thing did was put me in front of everybody when the fight starts, and I seriously don't like that." He throws a dagger at the owlbear and moves back, preferably behind somebody big. The knife slices into the target, but only seems to enrage the massive creature as Deren flees toward his companions.

Shoon rushes to Deren's aid, drawing a sai and hurling it at the monstrous creature. The sai strikes the beast even as it charges forward. Its clawed arm lashes forward, leaving deep blood furrows across the monk's chest.

Aeron and Ciaran hold back, unable to see what is causing all the commotion in the front ranks, and unwilling to charge forward past their armored friends. They quickly review their prepared spells, knowing that they may soon be needed.

"Haha, feels like in the ring." The gladiator calls, striding forward while swinging his spiked chain. "Let me see what you have, you fluffy bear." Despite the Champion's fervor, his weapon doesn't appear to hurt the crazed animal in the least.

"If it's on a chain then stay back and kill it from range." Sir Merrick can only shake his head as his companions move past him, and hurls a javelin at the beast. The missile pierces deep, and lodges in the thing's side.

Jinx freezes in place, ears pricked to the sounds of the furred terror, hand locked mid-motion. About to cast a spell, the gnome wizard instead gives a whimper.



Hey Dog Moon, as far as crappy knives go, Deren seems to be better with them than just about any PC I've ever seen.

I used the delay action for Aeron, Ciaran and Jinx...they can now make their action the next round at anytime before the bugbear.

For Jinx, long seconds ticked past as if everything was in slow motion. The crick of Deren's elbow as the halfling flicked his dagger, the whoosh of Shoon skirting past Sir Merrick to come to Deren's aid, and the final whump of the beast's claws ravaging the monk all spilt in one langorous tumble, as if winter blackstrap.

Blinking away the terror freezing his heart, and deftly weaving the beginnings of an unabashedly necromantic spell, Jinx quickly darts forward past Deren and Zirat, firing his spellcraft handiwork at the owlbear as he goes.

[sblock=Rhun]Thanks for allowing the delay. Move to AC87, hopefully at the top of initiative order. Cast ray of enfeeblement at the owlbear. Ranged touch attack +4, 1d6+1 strength dmg. Range 30 feet. No save, but yes to spell resistance.

Mumbling a quick prayer to Pelor, Aeron steps up behind Shoon to heal his wounds.
[sblock=OOC]Cast cure light wounds, move to AD-89, touch Shoon.

Sorry for not posting earlier. I was having a hard time deciding what Aeron should do. In fact, I think delaying was probably the best course of action for him. Thanks.[/sblock]

 

[Dire Lemming]

Shoon dodges back as his ribcage is nearly removed by the monstrous beast. "Ahg! I am sorry, this beast is much stronger than I." he stammers, clutching his mangled chest as he retreats to a safer posision.

OOC: Withdraw to AE-87

Well, at least I kept my promise to Deren.

Deren appreciates that.

Deren moves along the wall to Z87 and chucks another dagger at the owlbear.

Combat, round 2

For Jinx, long seconds ticked past as if everything was in slow motion. The crick of Deren's elbow as the halfling flicked his dagger, the whoosh of Shoon skirting past Sir Merrick to come to Deren's aid, and the final whump of the beast's claws ravaging the monk all spilt in one langorous tumble, as if winter blackstrap. Blinking away the terror freezing his heart, and deftly weaving the beginnings of an unabashedly necromantic spell, Jinx quickly darts forward past Deren and Zirat, firing his spellcraft handiwork at the owlbear as he goes. The ray strikes, and the owlbear lets out a screeching hiss as some of its strength is sapped.

Ciaran moves forward into the room, snapping up his crossbow and loosing a bolt at the monstrous bear. The missile flies wide.

Deren moves along the wall and chucks another dagger at the owlbear, but the knife fails to penetrate the creature's thick hide.

Shoon dodges back as his ribcage is nearly removed by the monstrous beast. "Ahg! I am sorry, this beast is much stronger than I." he stammers, clutching his mangled chest as he retreats to a safer posision.

Mumbling a quick prayer to Pelor, Aeron steps up behind Shoon to heal his wounds.

The great owlbear steps forward, and unleashes the full weight of its furry upon Zirat. One claw strikes hard, tearing a deep wound in the warrior's neck, and a moment later the beast sinks its deadly sharp beak into the opposite shoulder. Somehow the powerful warrior manages to stay on his feet, but blood pours down the front of his armor from his horrible wounds. As if that wasn't bad enough, the creature embraces the mighty gladiator in a bearhug, burying him in its bulk of muscle and fur!

Shouting in pain, the gladiator strives for air as his head is buried deep inside the foul fur of the big bear, he tries to open the owlbear's hold with pure might. As might as he is, though, the powerful gladiator is unable to overcome his foe's crushing grip.

Merrick steps forward, bringing his glaive down upon the distracted beast, slicing a deep gash across its shoulder.

As you strive against this powerful foe, a loud voice calls out from the hall to the south. The words are thick and halting, and unfamiliar to most of you.

[sblock=For Jinx and Ciaran]
Jinx and Ciaran both understand the words echoing from the hallway, as the two wizards are familiar with the language of giants. "What's da meanin' o' all dis noise? I'm gonna bash some heads good now."

I let Shoon move ahead of Aeron, otherwise your two posts would have conflicted a bit.

Strahd, I need a new action for Zirat...

Voadam, I guessed the Merrick would attack with his glaive. If this is wrong, just let me know and I will change his action.

round 2

Shouting in pain, the gladiator strives for air as his head is buried deep inside the foul fur of the big bear, he tries to open the owlbear's hold with pure might.

 

[Dire Lemming]

The pain in Shoon's chest suddenly starts to fade, and the bleeding stops. Shoon looks behind himself to see Aeron using his healing magic on him. "I am sorry for my weakness, thank you Aeron." Just then he hears a cry of pain and turns back to the battle to see Zirat being crushed to death in the creatures massive arms. "Curse you, monster!" he hisses and he returns to the battle.

OOC: Move along the wall and down to AB-88 while drawing Masterwork Nunchaku, and attack.

Masterwork Nunchaku +6 1d6+1 x2

 

[Dog Moon]

Deren moves to Y91 and throws another dagger, careful to avoid throwing it into one of his allies.

Note: He stays out of the owlbears reach while moving.

Dagger +7 ranged 1d3+2 [within 30 feet +1/+1].
