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

[Redclaw]

Realizing what has happened to Siobhan, Larian steps away from the cleric and uses his arcane knowledge to conjure a field of black tentacles, which rise from the ground to restrain the barghest, Siobhan, and two of the dragonspawn.

[sblock=ooc] Move to AI4
Cast Evard's Black Tentacles at AK/AL 12/13. Each creature in the field makes a grapple check against the tentacles, which have a grapple check of +16, once they grapple a target, they make grapple checks each turn, dealing 1d6+4 bludgeoning damage on a success. No Saving Throw, no SR.

If Siobhan moves out of the blast area before my turn, even better.[/sblock]

The human warrior spits out blood as the viscious assault continues "Well, if I'm going down, I'll go down saving Brindol!" Pender thinks to himself as he unleashes a flurry of swipes at the dragonspawn he'd struck earlier, shouting in rage as he wildly swings.

Tyrla 22
Avril 21
Siobhan 20
Warren 13
Larian 13
Pender 8
Hobgoblin 8
Everything else...

Tyrla blasts a Barghest for 16 points of damage. The creature she can see is close to 750 feet away.

Avril blasts one of the hobgoblin soldiers with her produce flame spell, but the creature backs up against the wall quickly and manages to avoid the hit.

Siobhan speaks up as she drops the warhammer to the ground as a free action. "Wait, there is no reason for us to fight! We're on the same side!" She also casts a cure serious wounds spell on the Barghest, restoring most of the damage taken by the creature.

Warren sneak attacks with his stance dealing 16 points of damage to the dragonspawn.

Larian moves back and creates his spell. A sprawling field of black tentacles erupt from the ground grabbing at everything within range. The field grapples Siobhan and the dragonspawn at AK 10. The other dragonspawn and the beast both are able to overpower the grapple.

Siobhan and the grappled spawn each take 10 points of damage from the attacking tentacles.

Pender hacks into the dragonspawn adjacent to him, landing a pair of respectable hits that are enough to drop the beast.

The hobgoblins run back for cover behind the building again.

The ungrappled (but in the field) dragonspawn full-attacks Mandla. It scores a vicious hit for 20 points of damage thanks to the flanking enemy on the opposite side.

The grappled spawn tries to resist, but fails, remaining rooted in place (and as the tentacles are immune to damage, pretty much unable to do anything).

The other dragonspawn flanking Mandla attacks Warren, but the halfling dodges both strikes.

The huge wolf-creature spends its entire movement escaping the field of evard's tentacles, moving out into the open.

 

[Redclaw]

Cursing Siobhan's failure to resist the Barghest's charm, Larian shouts out to her. Snap out of it. The beast has you fooled. They set this ambush, not us.

Knowing it's useless, even as he speaks, the elf starts looking for a way to change the momentum. Finally settling on a spell, he accesses his arcane skills to send to sizzling blasts of blue fire at his enemies. One at the nearest dragonspawn and one at the Barghest.

Breathing heavily as he looks around for the next target, Pender sees Mandla surrounded and rushes to its aid, seeking to mirror the enemies own maneuvers.

The human warrior will swing at the dragonspawn's exposed back with his large blade.

"Focus on the barghest! We need to take it down now- we can't face that and a dragon at the same time!" With most of her attention focused on tracking the dragon's approach, Tyrla launched another bolt at the remaining barghest.

OOC: Ranged touch +10; 5d6 potential damage

[sblock=ooc] Oops, I forgot you like to roll the dice, CS. Sorry about that. Also, I forgot to add the +1 for haste. Go figure. [/sblock]

[sblock]I'm indifferent about who roles the dice.[/sblock]

 

[Arkhandus]

[sblock=ooc]Is the big W on the map the barghest? I know the smaller W is Warren. How many spaces would Warren have to move to get within reach of the big W, if that is the barghest? Warren's choice of action depends on this.[/sblock]
