Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Alpha Group

[Shayuri]

"Look at you," Maya declares haughtily. "Look at what your life of evil has brought you to. Dying alone and afraid, at the hands of those seeking just vengeance, with only a beaten alligator to protect you, and no one to mourn you. Death seems too good for you...but it is a greater blessing to the world than for you, so it is cheerfully granted."

She extends a taloned hand. Green witchfire crackles between her fingers, then lances out at Lamm!

(Magic Missile)

As the others don't follow, Bael puts his rapier away and draws his shortbow.
"We should go back in!"

"Damn it!" Tristan heads back into the room, going rightward to the other end of the pool, and will attack Lamm with acid if he has a shot. If not he will ready an action to cast daze when Lamm reappears.

[sblock=ooc]acid: +3 touch, 30', 1d6+1

daze: If Lamm has 4 HD or less, Will DC 15 or lose actions for 1 round[/sblock]

 

[Dr Simon]

Maya's bolt of eldritch energy streaks towards the doorframe and seems to dart sideways to strike Lamm's exposed shoulder.

"Damn you, horser bitch!" he says with snarl. "I'm not going to be dying tonight." He ducks out and fires a shot at Maya with his hand crossbow. The small quarrel embeds itself in her thigh. The alligator thrashes and scrabbles on the side of its pit, trying to reach Khadmeade but it is unable to get a grip with its claws. Its ferocious jaws close an inch or so from the dwarf's foot.

Just then, Bael and Tristan burst back through the door. The tiefling has his bow ready, but Tristan hustles past and moves towards Lamm. The young wizard sizes up his aim and takes up a ready stance, a spell upon his lips.

[Sblock=OOC]
End of round 1:
Maya's magic missile on Lamm - 4 points
Alligator fails to reach Khadmeade.

Round 2
Lamm, hand crossbow hit on Maya for 3 points
Bael, swap weapon and move into room
Tristan, move towards Lamm. Unable to get line of sight for an acid dart, so readied daze.
Khadmeade - ?
Maya - ?
Alligator - ?

OOC: Is Airwalkrr back in action, does anyone know? Otherwise I'll NPC Khadmeade for the moment. Waiting actions from the rest of you.

 

[Shayuri]

"Ah!" Maya yelps. She leans over to grab the shaft in her leg, but after a moment forces herself to release it. "Fool. You are not fighting just me. You are fighting all the spirits of those you've wronged. They will give me strength."

Another lance of magic crackles from Maya's fingertips and seeks Lamm out!

(Magic Missile part deux!)

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: Psst, Shay, you cast shield before entering and it should still be active (a minute of game time hasn't passed yet). Don't forget also that in PF whatever 0th level spells you have prepared can be cast as at-will powers. I think that works for sorcerers as well.

 

[Shayuri]

(OOC - Gah, how embarrassing. I completely missed this reply until now. *buries face in hands* I'm so sorry, everyone. I may need to start thinking about reducing the number of games I'm in if I keep dropping posts like this.

I'll edit my post to cast another Magic Missile instead of shield. Thanks for the catch, Doc!)

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: Not to worry, Shay. This game is a bit stalled anyway, I'm not sure it's due to your actions. I was thinking that if anyone wanted to continue with the Crimson Throne AP we could conflate with the Beta group (where we are one character down, but otherwise posting prolificly). This'll require a bit of hand waving as regards actions, but there's a convenient point coming soon to mix the two groups. Let me know.


IC:

Lamm ducks out from behind his doorframe to fire his hand crossbow at Maya again. As he does so, Tristan is ready for him, but the old man seems to shrug off the spell motes without even trying. His bolt bounces harmlessly off Maya's magical shield, a flash of green energy briefly lighting where it strikes. Bael answers with a bowshot, narrowly missing the old man as he ducks behind cover again.

With a roar of rage, Khadmeade brings his warhammer down on the head of the alligator. It is a mighty blow, with the full weight of the dwarf behind it, and perhaps the blessings of Torag too. The creature's head is smashed to a pulp, and it thrashes and writhes in the pool of its own blood and brain matter, too stupid to know that it is dead.

Maya unleashes another bolt of eldritch energy that darts around the corner and strikes Lamm.

"You people have picked the wrong man for a fight," he snarls, uncowed and unrepentent.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
-Tristan casts a readied daze spell, no effect.
-Lamm hand crossbow attack on Maya, miss.
-Bael bow attack on Lamm, 6+3=9, miss
-Khadmeade warhammer attack on Gobbleguts. 20+2 = 22, hit. Crit. Confirm 20+2 = 22, hit eek:!). Damage 3d8+6=20.
-Maya magic missile on Lamm, 2 damage.
-Gobbleguts - dying.

Oddly, the Beta group dispatched Gobbleguts the alligator with a single critical too. Poor beast!

Bael nods approving at the dwarf's blow and takes another shot at Lamm.
