D1: Ashin's Commission (El Jefe judging)

--- Round 9 ---

Eternity scrambles to the edge of the pit, ready to give Michael, or anyone else, a hand if needed.

Ironwolf resumes a fighting position, keeping an eye over the passage as Hulgyr attempts to help Michael out of the pit.

Almayce has his spiritual weapon continue to prowl the walls and bottom of the stairs in case the shadow should make another attempt the group.

Michael gives up on the search for his flint and steel, and shrugs the backpack off his shoulders. Cautiously he feels around the floor for his hammer and shield and gathers them up before carefully getting to his feet. Michael never even sees the shadow as slides out of the walls and wraps its cold hands around his heart. A shudder runs down the cleric's spine {1 str dam}.

Above Michael, Eternity glances back over her shoulder and doesn't immediately realise what is happening until she hears a sharp intake of breath from Michael. Hulgyr, his attention focused on grabbing Michael's hand, likewise fails to spot the shadow among the shadows. It takes a moment for the two of them to realise what is happening below.

- ooc -
Hulgyr, Eternity: failed spot checks. Are aware of the shadow for Round 10. Actually, everyone will probably be so.
Michael: May react to the the attack this round. I'll edit in in. I'm thinking shield and hammer are slung to keep his hands free for climbing out and flat footed.
Question: I think it should be a climb check to get out of the pit, with Hulgyr able to roll an aid check. Not really experienced with pits though. Anyone?

When she can spot the shadow Eternity yells a warning to the others across the gap. "Hulgyr, get Michael out of there!" She'll fire another firey energy ray at the shadow if she has a shot.

ooc: That would work, if Hulgyr can't quite reach Michael. I expect the half orc is strong enough to lift Michael into the air, though, so if they can reach you might not require a check at all, or might allow a circumstance bonus on top of the aid another bonus.


Ironwolf will also lend his strength to getting Michael out of the pit... he'll help study Hulgyr, so that the Cleric doesn't accidentally pull him into the pit.
 

ooc: i'm not sure if Hulgyr is aiding Michael's climb check, or Michael aid Hulgyr. Hulgyr will attempt to pull Michael up if he gets the chance though.

As Michael shrieks from the cold grasp of the creature Hulgyr hollers "It's down here!"
Hulgyr continues to help Michael out of the pit.
 


--- Round 9 (cont) ---

Michael drags his eyes from the shadow and searches around for the hands of his companions. Seeing them, he reaches up and grabs them. The shadow, taking advantage of the opportunity, wraps its hands more tightly around the clerics heart. It draws deeply on Michael's vital energy {str dam 6}.

Meanwhile, realising that the shadow has gone for the moment, Zaeryl attempts to get his psionic focus back. He fails.

OK, decided to kick this along.
I think I will go with the str check, michael and ironwolf aiding hulgyr.
RA: Whoops. My mistake. Added it above.
 

Sheesh, walk away for two minutes and the whole thing goes to spit.

Michael does his very best feeble scrabbling, invoking his Feat of strength to help.

"I'd like to get out of this hole now, please?"
He unhappily suspects that if the thing rips out much more of his strength, it's going to kill him and make him return from the dead as a strength-sucking thing of evil. Which may mean he has to kill himself first.
Well, at least the spikes are handy.

(OOC...Yeah, my strength is now a 7, 9 for the round due to the Feat of Strength. Getting out of the hole NOW would be good...I have to go calculate my weight and see if I can stand up in my armor.)

(OOC 2: Heavy laden, with 5 pounds before I get overloaded. After I left my pack back in the pit. Sometimes you wish you carried a rapier...)

Seeing the shadow digging into Michael Hulgyr growls at it, wishing he could take his greatsword and chop at the thing/
Hulgyr grits his teeth and musters all the strength he can find to try and pull Michael out.

ooc: Str check: 24
didn't add aid checks from the rest yet.
 


Eternity will continue to try and hit the shadow with her energy rays.

[sblock=ooc]She has 11pp if 2nd level already, 5 at 1st. I believe she has used Force Screen twice and Energy Ray once and Vigor once. Leaving her with 1 or 7 pps left depending on her level.[/sblock]
