Grim bows slightly to the Father. "I am not as wise as thou, F'ther, but I 'ope you can give me guidance. I 'ave this dagger on me, that emanates darkness. Can you tell me more? I can 'elp with 'ealing, but most 'umans wouldna let me come near them, much less touchee 'em."
 

Mero yelps in pain as his skin and clothes smoke from the burning spittle. He backpedals and casts a protective spell.

Round 2
Aphram opens fire, two shots bouncing from scales, the third striking home. The snake slithers across the floor and bites Mero, twisting to wrap him in its coils – You can all see the scales beginning to glow with heat, but this does not seem to be affecting Mero.
Hond dives across the room and up onto the cot next to the snake. He gashes the flame snake badly, his sword striking sparks of the floor beneath. A inch difference would have beheaded the snake.

Grappling rules:
[sblock]- from the rules of the game, attacking into a grapple is safe for melee weapons, but missile weapons will strike a random target. + Ad Hoc: melee attacks will strike the wrong target on a 1. Size of grapplers involved will affect missile attacks. i.e. 60% snake /40% hairfoot. [/sblock]


Round 3: Initiative: Aphram 22, Mero 20, Snake 12, Hond 11

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Shrine:

A dagger hmm? Let me look at it. Father Lux examines the dagger without touching it. Then casts detect magic. Well by the makers mark, it was crafted by Camber de’ Frisson – its probably from the Dragon Blackthorn. Blackthorn was killed while destroying the Academy 500 yrs ago, but his soul was trapped in his body. The undead beast was destroyed 45 years ago by a band of adventures, although it nearly killed us. Camber made half a dozen weapons from its claws and teeth. His daughter Shelly is our current smith, she enchanted some those weapons, but I don’t think she could have made this one. Try setting it down.

Grim [sblock] please switch spoken text to dark green it keeps continity and seperates voices. [/sblock]
 

Aphram discards his bow, letting it plop onto the bed as he passes it, barreling down towards the snake, his falchion suddenly in hand and aimed for the snake.

OOC: Move to C10, drawing Slightrazor as I go, Slightrazor +9 (2d4+4, 18-20/x2)
 


Mero gasps as he feels the snakes coils crush his fragile body. He calls out, "Urghh, help my friends!" He focuses his mind and begins shouting the words of another spell.





[SBLOCK]
Activating "Sudden Still" to cast while grappled.
Question1: Do I have to cast defensively while he's grappling me since you don't threaten any squares while grappling? If so:
Cast Defensively, Concentration +11, DC16. Orb of Cold, Lesser - Ranged Touch +5 3d8 cold damage.

Question2:
Mero – you forgot your size bonus to hit.

You mentioned my ranged attack bonus was off. 6th level wizard attack bonus is +3, +1 for Dex, and +1 for small size. +5 total. Am I missing anything?


[/SBLOCK]
 

Hond slashes downwards once more, careful not to hit Merro and only the snake.

OOC: Hond sleeps in his armor most of the time, yeah. And I thought I didn't have a size bonus to AC? (Medium size character and all)
 

Round 3:

Aphram cuts at the snake, as Mero struggles to cast his spell, hesitating as he stuggles to breathe in the snakes coils, but finally a small ball of ice strikes the snake, and the heat from the scales dims. The snake squeezes and Mero goes limp. Hond’s blade bounces off the snake, but his backswing strikes true. He cuts off the back third of the snake and it goes limp as well, its smoke rising from its spilled blood. Seeing to the unconscious hairfoot Hond manages to stop his bleeding – but he is still out.


OOC: Hond my bad, in the tabletop version stouts are small, here medium.
Mero: I was just using your light x-bow attack bonus, which is listed at +4, +5 is right.
Aphram 24 hit 9dmg, Mero concentration 21 (barely) 18 dmg
Snake wins grapple 6 dmg +0 fire ; Hond 14, 22 (13dmg)
Heal checks 7, Nat 20
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shrine:

Grim sets down the dagger and feels better immediately.
After hearing this father Lux confirms it is an unholy weapon. (32 kn arcane check)
It may be possible to redeem the weapon, eventually. Or you could just destroy it, I’m sure your sword would be up to the task. Its up to you really.
