(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom [IC]

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 3/33, AC 23, Child of Shadows stance active

......Warren turns tail and swims as quickly as he can away from the horrible monster, trying to escape his doom, and shouting random curses as soon as his head rises out of the water.....

Move south to A-21 post-haste.

[sblock=Larian]Your knowledge check result was a 27, and I'm not sure if your looking for a specific answer here, or just general ideas. Common enemies of the hydra in this region would be lizardfolk, dryads, harpies, chuul, and manticores though they specifically hate fighting any sort of creature that can deal acid or fire damage.[/sblock]

 

[Creamsteak]

[sblock=Warren]Also (supposing your still able to move) what are you going to do during your regular round (after the surprise round)?[/sblock]

 

[Zoycitenega]

Siobhan Lilend - Cleric 5 - HP: 18 - AC: 25(tch 13, ff 23) - Spells: 5| 4 +1 | 3 | 2 +1

Siobhan stops where she is and casts Spiritual Weapon, and sends it to attack the hydra.

Attack || Damage

Tyrla: warlock 5; HP 30/30; AC 19

OOC: Acting on the assumption that nothing too odd happens during the remainder of the surprise round...

IC: Tyrla had bee sweeping her gaze carefully across the area where Warren was scouting- but she was caught off guard by the beast's sudden appearance, and didn't have any kind of time to cry out in warning. Even with her enhanced vision, it was difficult to tell where the creature ended and the slop it was wallowing in began- but she had to try. Pacing forward a bit for a clearer shot, she extended her gloved right hand and unleashed a bolt of arcane power. Even if it didn't actually hurt the thing it might distract it long enough for Warren to escape.

OOC: Move forward (north) to K16; fire an Eldritch Blast at the body; +7 ranged touch, 3d6 damage (not in Point Blank range)

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 3/33, AC 23

[sblock=Creamsteak]Supposing that Warren survives the hydra's turn and is still conscious, he'll be pulling out a cure potion to guzzle down while stepping 5 feet closer to the rest of the group.[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Larian--Transmuter 5--HP: 25--AC:18 (tch 18, ff 14)--f+2, r+5, w+4

Larian is so caught up being concerned for Warren's safety that he watches the action unfold before he can act. He curses his slow reflexes and inability to spot the danger in time, even as he shouts Try to draw it up out of the water where we can attack its body. He then concentrates on the sight, sound and smell of a clutch of Chuul as he incants the word Sonimago, and suddenly a splashing sound comes from the far bank of the river, and a small squad of the lobster-like creatures climbs out of the deep water, waving their claws at the hydra.

[sblock=ooc] Cast Major Image, creating a group of 4 chuul emerging from the deep water into the shallows in/around squares F7, G7, F8 and G8, making appropriate noises, etc. Will save to disbelieve if interacted with is 18. If he get the chance to do so as a reaction, Larian will be ready to cause the chuul to react appropriately to any attacks by the hydra.[/sblock]
[sblock=creamsteak] I'm assuming that the 27 was enough for me to know about the head sundering and fast healing. Is that accurate? [/sblock]

[DrZombie]

With a curse Gurguannin resheaths his axe and takes his bow, stringing it with a deft motion and aims for the hydra.

(move action to put away axe, move to ready bow)

 

[Creamsteak]

Tyrla: You fire, but your eldritch blast does not strike the target (nat 1).

Hydra: The hydra moves forward (somewhat slowly) and reaches Warren to attack him. Now that Warren is in a better position to defend himself it looks like his odds are a bit better, and he's hit only once (for 4 damage). This is still enough to knock Warren unconcious. (-1)

Tyrla can post another action for the top of the next round if wanted.

 

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 16 - hp 36/36 - Spot +11 - Listen +11
Scarlet - Riding Dog - AC 22 - hp 30/30 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

The plop of one of her stones in the water quickly faded into a rushing a water as the creature emerged from near the wagon to attack Warren. It dwarfed the small halfling easily, rapidly sinking tooth after tooth into his flesh. Not even his careful stances could protect him from the huge creature.

"Warren!" she shouted as she saw the halfling stumble away, but the creature, a hydra of sorts, was quick enough to reach Warren before he could get to safety. "We must help him!" she shouted, before plunking some mistletoe from her belt and starting the long process of casting a spell. Scarlet beside her barked wildly, but knew that her mistress wanted her to stay on the land. Against this beast, one had to be careful and keep your distance.
