Dungeon of the Fire Opal, part V

[reapersaurus]

Since it'll be a surprise round (I remind you all that only Taz and Ubaar can act in the surprise round), you can interpose yourself or cast you spell, but not both. Choices, choices...

OK.
Let me rephrase that.

Ubaar will cast MW then delay (if he has to - Taz will probably be faster than he anyway) to make sure Taz gets behind him on her move action before he backs up 5'.

As he does so, he calls back to the others - "Uh... guys?
It looks like a slaughterhouse in this corridor ;
lots of stuff has died fighting in here.

Maybe they all died fighting this.... thing.

Bcareful. Let's be smart.

This thing don't look like it can bleed, but it also probly don't think as good as we do... "

 

[Taz]

Assuming the ogresized creature also has a similar reach, depending on the distance to the creature, Taz will either back away 5' and cast shield (if distance is 10' or higher), or just back away 15' tumbling (if distance is only 5').

EDIT:

OOC: The map indicates a 10' distance, so it's option numero uno: 5' step backwards and casting shield.

 

[Jalon Odessa]

[OOC: I understand that Jalon won't be able to act until after the surprise round is over, but I might not be able to post tomorrow, so I'll post his action now -]

Jalon moves in a brisk walk towards the combat between Taz, Ubaar and the creature. The priest carefully tucks his magical torch into his belt, retrieving his wand of Cure Light Wounds in preparation for the injuries the party may sustain in this combat.

Jalon moves to N9 (Damn this heavy armour!)

[OOC: Oh, and for the record guys, the only offensive spell Jalon has left is an ILW, which I doubt will be much use here. I'm relegating him to field medic in this combat, because this thing looks like it can deal some damage.]

 

[HeavyG]

The creature is too quick. Before Taz can do anything, it steps forward and its stinger stabs at her and penetrates her defenses. The stinger hurts like hell. (10 points of damage)

Then, Taz backs off and casts her spell, wary of the barbed tail. (And she doesn't fumble it, too. Just noticed she wore armor. )

Then...

OK.
Let me rephrase that.

Ubaar will cast MW then delay (if he has to - Taz will probably be faster than he anyway) to make sure Taz gets behind him on her move action before he backs up 5'.

... in a flash of light, Ubaar invokes his deity's might and focuses it on his sword. Then, he waits for Taz to get behind him to interpose himself between her and the creature.

As he does so, he calls back to the others - "Uh... guys?
It looks like a slaughterhouse in this corridor ;
lots of stuff has died fighting in here.

Maybe they all died fighting this.... thing.

Bcareful. Let's be smart.

This thing don't look like it can bleed, but it also probly don't think as good as we do... "

[HeavyG]

I have to admit I have lost track of damage, special status, etc...

Sorry.

Here's how it was two threads ago, just after the battle with the witch.


Status of the party :

(S) Sollir Furryfoot : Hp(15/15)
(M) Murhid : Hp (15/15) 4 points of dexterity damage. Poisoned. Has drunk his healing potion while out of sight.
(T) Taz : Hp (11/13),
Sheela : Hp (6/6),
(I) Ivellios Nailo : Hp (9/23)
(U) Ubaar : Hp (7/21), Endure fire (12 hours), 2 points of dexterity damage, 2 points of subdual damage
(K) Kytess : Hp (15/20) Endure fire (12 hours)
(J) Jalon Odessa : Hp (12/17) Endure fire (12 hours)

I'm willing to give everyone full hit points (except for the damage Taz just got of course) since I remember plenty of healing spells being cast after that. But I don't remember the dexterity damage going away (which is normal since Jalon doesn't have his 2nd level spells prepared yet).


Status of the party :

(S) Sollir Furryfoot : Hp(15/15)
(M) Murhid : Hp (15/15) 4 points of dexterity damage
(T) Taz : Hp (3/13),
Sheela : Hp (6/6),
(I) Ivellios Nailo : Hp (23/23)
(U) Ubaar : Hp (21/21), Endure fire (12 hours), 2 points of dexterity damage
(K) Kytess : Hp (20/20) Endure fire (12 hours)
(J) Jalon Odessa : Hp (17/17) Endure fire (12 hours)

 

[Taz]

“Ouch!”

Taz further backs away to get near Jalon, who will hopefully invoke some healing upon her, so she can rejoin the battle and let the creature taste the halfling's sting!

 

[reapersaurus]

OOC: I'd check the Rogue's Gallery, since we all should have one more level of hp's, right? (since we're all level 3 now) For example, Ubaar got up to 14 hps with his and Sollir's healing. Then he levelled up as a cleric, and gets 7 more hp's, right? (14 CON) So he should be at 21 of 28 possible. (still has 2 points of DEX damage, of course) He has a Create Water spell left, and after this MW, just the Thunderstomp left (and 2 more rages) woo-hoo! Battle! Let's have fun, guys.

"Taz - that looked like it hurt!
Get back with da others - Ubaar'll hold this devil back!

*to Taz* (by the way, does it have poison like da imps did?
Dat HURT!)"

 

[Murhid]

"You think this one will die from our mortal weapons, or not, like the imps?"
Murhid then brings forth once again his silvered shurikens."Maybe Oneself can poke his eyes out!" He says grimly, then takes a few steps forward, trying not to impede those with 'gods' on their side.

[OOC: Murhid is a little pee'd off by the freakish monsters we've encountered, but not me! I love this ]

 

[Taz]

“I'm fine... ugh... Kill that thing!”

 

[Doppleganger]

"I'll soon find out if my blades can harm it or not."

Ivellios shouts, "For Corellon!!"

With both swords in hand, the elf charges down the corridor.

(OOC I.E. the 'charge' type of charge)

(OOC Then, unless it moves someplace over 16 squares away or there's a logjam of characters in the way.....)

Reaching the beast he takes a swipe at it using his longsword.
