Dragonlance Classics: Dragons of Despair

[Darkwolf]

Caramon will try to manouvre to be back-to-back with Sturm and then attack all who threaten his side of the formation.

"Sturm, lets move back-to-back so we don't get overwhelmed in the water!"

 

[ErichDragon]

"Sturm, lets move back-to-back so we don't get overwhelmed in the water!"

Sturm nods to Caramon and positions himself back to back, happy to fall into the old comraderie of their youth. The Brightblade is held high, ready to dispatch the wraiths back to the netherworld.

 

[rangerjohn]

Riverwind will draw his sword and attempt to ward off the attack. OOC: I see my luck carries through even someone else is rolling the dice.

 

[Keia]

Tanis Half-elven

Tanis will call attention to the wraiths for those that hadn't seen them. Drawing his trusted bow with one hand and smoothly pulling arrows with the other with practiced ease, Tanis will fire upon the creatures until the risk of hitting a companion is too great.

 

[Keia]

Raistlin Majere

Raistlin, upon seeing the wraiths will call upon the Staff of Magius - "Shirak" releasing the light of the staff at its full intensity in hopes of causing the creatures to retreat.

Raistlin will make use of magic missiles against the creatures. If personally threatened, he will use his lightning bolt. If he is out of those spells (I'm not certain we've rested from the lizard fight in which he used those spells), he will strike with the Staff if they creatures approach him.

 

[Jemal]

Tas will start twirling stones at the forms with his Hoopak. IF he sees that it's not doing anything, however, he'll stop and call directions to his companions (Basically stuff like.. "Look out, he's gonna *SMACK* hit you... Uh, never mind.")

 

[Jarval]

Goldmoon calls out in alarm as Riverwind slips off the ropes. She drops down into the water, swinging the crystal staff at any of the wraiths that attack the Plainsman.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

The party of friends responds swiftly and well. Sturm slashes the nearest shape with Brightblade, tearing away part of its substance. Flint draws another one with his shouts and pounds it with an axe as it closes. Riverwind scores a solid hit with his bastard sword, helped by Goldmoon's staff.

Raistlin's light gives the creatures pause, but it does not drive them away. Tanis sees his arrows fly right through the creatures into the swamp, and Caramon is unable to hit them with his sword. Tasslehoff slings a few stones then resorts to taunts.

When the creatures attack, the pain begins. Flint and the three men in the water are all hit. The claws do little physical harm (3 damage each), but each hit appears to sap the afflicted of vitality (Flint 1 Con damage, Sturm 5 Con, Caramon 3 Con, Riverwind 4 Con).

Despite the pain, the warriors fight on, hitting again and again. Flint destroys his enemy with some help from Tanis, who draws his longsword when he sees that his arrows are ineffective. Riverwind and Goldmoon banish a second from the light. Sturm downs a third. Only Caramon is left struggling, although a flight of magic missles from his brother momentarily distract the undead horror.

Those in the water quickly turn on the last foe, but it manages to claw Sturm again before it is dispersed by many attacks (3 Con damage, 3 hp damage).

The waters remain quiet as the four humans struggle to the far side. It appears that Flint will either need to brave the bridge, hold his breath, or ask for help.

 

[Keia]

Tanis

Before two of the men get across, Tanis motions to Caramon and Sturm to go help Flint across the stream, knowing that Flint wouldn't ask for the help for himself (and how much he disliked water).

As everyone gets to the near bank, Tanis helps them up onto the bank. "Is everyone okay? Did anyone get hurt by those creatures?"

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Flint grumbles his thanks to anyone helping him across. Once there he again silently vows never to cross water if he can help it. Only thing worst would have been going across in a boat with that blasted Kendar...
