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

Jerrigan Arbordelve

Jerrigan draws his scimitar and prepares to follow Tristan into battle.

"So much for my thoughts of food!"

Yikes! And I had no idea they could talk!

(to Jerrigan) "Good thinking!"

Tristan calls towards the kitchen "Perhaps we can distract the monster with raw meat! Quickly! It may save lives!"
 

Jerrigan Arbordelve

Not wanting to fetch the meat himself, Jerrigan signals any of the kitchen staff that he can see to bring forth some meat to appease the monster. "Any meat will do -- leftover scraps, organs, skin, chicken feet, beaks, anything!"
 

"Are you all...you're going to FEED it?!" Maya demands, switching her eyes quickly between the beast and the others. She scowls and says, "Well, someone's got to keep it busy until they get enough food..."

She dashes to the door and stays there, where she can retreat inside if pressed.

"Spirits give me strength," Maya murmurs...then hurls a bolt of eldritch energy at the creature!

"The freshest meat is here, repulsive thing!"

(moving to inn door, and using a magique missile)
 

Jerrigan Arbordelve

"Well, damn!" says Jerrigan as he draws his scimitar and moves to support Maya as soon as he is able to do so.

OOC: Guess I may be getting ahead of myself, Dr. Si, but Jerrigan will do this as soon as Maya gives that determined look and begins to move towards the door, so can we think of it as Jerrigan's previous post just being a delay until a later initiative count? :heh:
 


Bael readies his short bow and looks for a better position, not wanting to meet this tentacles firsthand. After a quick look he decides for the right window.

Maya galvanises the others to action as she runs to the door and unleashes a bolt of eldritch energy. Jerrigan and Tristan join her at the doorway to the Quill, the former drawing his scimitar, the latter hurling a bolt of acid at the creature.

Stung by the two magical attacks, the otyugh roars in pain.

"Bad hurty!" it bellows and lumbers over to the inn. Customers and staff recoil from the sewer smell and rush to the back of the coffee shop. A tentacle lashes out and strikes Maya, the barbs on its inner surface raking her flesh painfully. The creature tries to grasp her, but she shrugs it off with typical Shoanti vigour.

Bael pulls out his bow and looks for a suitable place to stand. He sets himself up to get a shot through one of the front windows to the coffee shop.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
Initiative order:

Maya - Magic missile for 4 damage
Jerrigan - move to door, draw scimitar
Tristan - move to door, acid spalsh for 2 damage
Otyugh - tentacle hit on Maya for 6 damage. Grapple/CMB check 18, Maya's CMB check =18, no grapple this round.
Bael - draw bow, move to ?

No map yet for this combat, but the three of you are blocking the door way to the Jittery Quill, Maya slightly in front with the two men hiding behind her :). Bael can choose to hide behind them, or there are openable windows either side of the door he can use to snipe from.

Yes, otyughs can speak Common although their intelligence is low. This is one of those lines from the MM that often slips by people's notice.

When that tentacle tries to wrap around her, Maya slashes at it with her right hand, driving it away! With a wild gleam in her eyes she pulls her lips back from her teeth in a horrible shark's grin...apparently all but ignoring the blood welling up from the place where the rough grippers had abraded her.

"You think I am afraid of you?!" she rants at the monster, and her claws are out now, long and curved and gleaming black. "FLEE BACK TO THE DEPTHS, FILTH, OR I WILL CARVE YOU LIKE A FESTDAY FOWL!"

Then she pounces on the tentacle with both hands, ripping and tearing at its flesh; magic forgotten!

(2 claw attacks! 1st is 15 for 2 points, 2nd is 20 for 4 points)
